AWARD WINNING WATCH REVIEW | TEARDOWN CIGA DESIGN BLUE PLANET pointer global II GPHG
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 бер 2022
- If I’m buying a watch from a new brand or a Kickstarter, I want to know if my new watch will live on even if that new company doesn’t. How easy will it be to have this watch serviced and maintain by an independent watchmaker, or would it always have to be sent to the authorised dealer? Will parts be easily available? Can general crystals and aftermarket straps and brackets be used? In this review I’ll take a closer look at this watch and see if we can answer some of these questions.

Yes show us the breakdown and side by side I always wanted to see what this movement looks like
Yes
Yep! Go for the strip down.
Yeah what you said!
You're a good man, Joe. Peace and love. Chops to Ciga for sending the watch to someone who they must know would take it apart.
Thanks mate
Well said mate....
Chops?what pork or lamb?
I would really would enjoy watching a full service on this watch.
Yeah!!!
I agree. I am always curious as to how clean and well lubed Seagull (and other Chinese) movements are when they are manufactured. I have seen some teardowns showing dust and foreign matter in brand new Chinese brand watches, but I always wonder how much of that is from the movement manufacture and how much is from unclean conditions in the factory where the movement is cased.
I vote for a full teardown! I can never get enough of seeing your incredible work. Thank you, Joe!
It's definitely not a watch I would wear but always good to see something new. That's a great little trick popping the crystal out with the compressor!
Great video. This watch has a timeless design....... mostly because you can't tell the time!😂😂😂😂
You know mate that’s one of the best watch reviews I’ve seen and I watch a lot and have made a few myself.
Hilarious throughout but you still manage to get technical and to show is all how it’s working. From the slightly salty bogey, the shower scene and then the cuff shot where you have just cut a arm off a shirt 😂😂
I bet you guys had a right laugh making that video.
Hats off to you.
Thanks mike. That sleeve has been around longer than you think.
You're the one youtuber I wanted to see review this watch
The best thing about this watch is that it led you to upload a new video!
Please don't stop your videos because of the madness going on at the moment, your videos are a tonic for me and no doubt a lot of other folks out there giving us a bit of a laugh as well as marvel at your skills.
Thanks Andrew
You are definitely not an average “joe” . Your world view and appreciation of the art of watches is truly extraordinary. We are blessed to have your opinions of watches and life.
Full breakdown! 🙂
I love to see the way a mechanical watch is put together. Fascinating little machines.
It’s beautiful, I’d wear it. Brave company, for sending you a $1000 timepiece, knowing what you’re going to do to it. Thanks for sharing!
Dude, once again a video filled with the mechanics of a timepiece and a genuine message filled with hope, from the heart for mankind. Beautifully done sir!
Thanks for this review! It’s so refreshing to have a really independent view on things, .. and you style make all remember how there is still people with a soul in this difficult times for all earthlings
We always want to hear from you. Troubling times are best dealt with when you have a comforting voice and familiar friend.
12:57 The lime green strap is boss. Also, this style of review, where the object under review is dissected for the audience; is ideal for watches and other adult playthings. It lets us see the guts of the watch and decide for ourselves if they've taken any shortcuts or left out anything vital.
The watch is pretty cool. What is cooler is your amazing knowledge and understanding of how to approach it.!! ⭐️👍
One of the best watch reviews! I like how you open the case and show how the watch is made, compliments and please keep doing reviews!
I have to say this is by far the best watchmaking related channel I have ever seen. I love the commentary and the memes that come from your videos. Keep them coming my friend! Cheers from Texas.
It's certainly different, and they should be congratulated for that, always room for design innovation as long as it functions as it should.
Well now you’ve gone and done it. You did a great job with this review and we will all expect more reviews with more of your wonderful insight. By the way you’ve got a big pair for tearing into a brand new $1000 watch like that!!! Great work as always. Thank you. And please do a full tear down
You are just too funny. The world needs more of you and your familly. Thank you. I needed this.
Watchmaking (& you in particular) are a beacon of calmness and stability in these turbulent times. Thank you for these videos, they might have more impact than you'd imagine.
Absolutely hands-down Mr. troublemaker is the best part of your channel. But I really enjoy all of your content!
Yes please, break it down and show us the side by side! I really enjoy your videos. And watching you expertly open that up was a treat. Seems to me they want to keep repairmen like yourself out of there 🤔, so it was very satisfying to see such a tidy technique used to jump their hurdle 🙂
Love your videos! Such a great sense of humor! Love the mention of “one earth”.
I've made many watches since i saw your first video and fell in love with watches , you thought me few more things today master . love what you do .love your kindness .
I particularly like your display cuff! Had not realised it was so practical. I like the look of the watch, and especially liked it with the mesh band you showed. I also have a watch reading issue, and have found that a good contrast between the hands and the dial is all I need. My current watch has mirror polished steel hands, and a matte pale grey dial, and the combination of finish and “colour” works well. Thirty jewels seems a bit over the top, almost twice as many as usual. You should take a look. Oh, and I bet numbers 0001 and 0002 are in the company vault, or on,the CEO’s wrist.
I would love to see a comparison! I enjoy your videos very much, and love the way you continue to support everyone in the world. Thank you.
Thanks Sean
I don't know a thing about watches but I love watching your videos..love your outlook on life and our world..please make the full teardown..God bless you and your family...
Got to say the beauty of the watch and the beauty of your sarcasm or hunor is a rare mix and more is needed in this planet
Great review Joe.
Good to see that your opinions, and skills regarding watches, are becoming recognised.
A very nice piece, and I wonder if they're going to produce an 'Atlantic' version?
I'd have to give up a lot of old Jaguar parts to purchase that watch. I never go anywhere fancy enough to warrant that kind of watch. That said, it's nicely done, something different, and reviewed excellently.
Your videos are a short escape to serenity. I hope you keep them coming. Even as difficult as it may be at this time of uncertainty.
Thank you Joe and Little Alien. ....and thank you Accountant, I know your the brains behind it all.
Thanks so much for this review and brief tear down! Keep up the great work!
Sentiments to live by. This is a cool design, reminds me of the Omni from the 80s TV show, Voyagers.
I have to admit Joe, you made me laugh out loud when I saw your shower scene! I'm not even an amateur tinkerer, everything I know about watches has come from subscribing to your channel. Honestly, I'm just here for the great banter, the interaction with your kids and your brilliant humanity. Sending much love to you and yours from Melbourne Australia
Thank you 🙏
Totaly agree with you Sharon - This is SO much more than just a watch channel. Love the verbal criticism from Trouble!
A full teardown would be great.Listening to your amazingly articulate kid making his comments is always endearing! 💖
Please keep the videos coming. They provide a brief respite to the total madness around us!
This isn't primarily a time piece, its jewelry that tells time. If all we want is time keeping we can buy a seiko or timex and have years of pain free service. This is a statement, a look at me, somthing to talk about at the bar or party. I suspect that most people who wear it will look at their phone if they want to know the time. for what it is I think its fantastic.
This a statement look at me, look at my 'watch' watch it, it might do something well in a moment... wait...wait... hold on, just a little longer... there! see it? no? oh well YOU obviously dont understand horology.
Great video and review. Thank you. Id love to see a side by side and learn more about how they have “improved” upon an existing movement, and what is it that they have done to win this award. While I appreciate the attempt to do something different, and the sentiment of this watch, its a little too impractical and the design is not my thing. Nice craftmentship though. Thanks again. Great video.
Content like yours makes the world a better place. Thanks Nekkid!
Great videos on your channel. I had to bust out laughing when you revealed the clever modeling shirt sleeve complete with t-shirt attire.
A really pretty interesting design at that price range to be sure. It is however a tad too big for my taste and my wrist, as I always feel like big watches on a small wrist are kind of vulgar. Makes me feel like a footballer wearing the biggest watch he can find to show-off ;)
exactly my thoughts.
I like smaller watches. Pre-1970s gents are mostly fine.
Indeed
Its time like these that its nice to have a place to go and get away from all the disaster. My youtube has been full of( ill say conflict ) and not enjoyable. Im glad you chose to put this video out. We can all come together and enjoy something we love together even from different parts of the" GLOBE". See what i did there.
Thanks joshua, great words
Hahaha... an amazing review. Brief, rugged, and as always, perspective stands. That is the type of watch one would expect to see Jacob & Co pricing on. To see you strip it down a bit, and the possibility of a full strip-down and putting together is an exciting thought that could give a rumbly tummy, but your confidence as you detached the flat world, and the success of it, gave much confidence. So yes to the total strip down review to set precedence to possible servicing. Thanks, buddy! Blessing
Glad you decided to make the video. You’re my favorite watchmaker channel. Yes, I would be interested in a comparison of jewels/movements. Thanks!
Now ETA wants broken movements to be send directly to them for repairs and they refuse to supply parts to small repair shops. So yes, please make a teardown and comparison video and let us know if paying more for the original 2824 has any benefits over getting Seagull 2824.
It's true ETA don't service directly or sell small parts but a lot of the companies that use their movements do service and repairs. My Tissot Seastar went for an small fix in warranty (lost the lume pip on the bezel) and they first try to service the movement but it was still not running within specs and they changed it for free.
The powermatic 80 is basically a 2824 (or 2826 I am not sure) with a slower frequency
If I could have a second expensive watch, I would consider something unique like this, but as I can only afford one watch at a time that's over $1000 (US) I would likely go with a more traditional style. Very nice looking watch though.
Thank you for brightening up my morning😊👏
Best review ever. A tear down would be nice. Looking forward to it.
New video!!! Awesome!!!
You Sir, are a complete nutter… Thank you! I greatly appreciate your abilities and time. :)
Thank you 🙏
Great review. I don't mind seeing you do them. At least its a review by someone that knows every detail of the workings of the watch. Keep it up¡
Great video as usual. And keep it rock and roll!
The good and the bad. the good: it seems fairly accurate and robust. The bad: it’s way too big for most people. Personally, I stop at 43mm DIA X 15mm thick. The time telling scheme is awkward. The numerals are too small and for someone my age, illegible. Plus, I really don’t want the bulk of my watch dial to be a semi-3D representation of the Indian Ocean. Overall, I would not look twice at this watch. But, that’s just me.
I agree, I suggest they take off the divisions in the outer dial (they are useless and clutter up the display) and put only larger numbers. Also, they could make uk centered worlds, japan centered worlds, australia centered worlds etc.
"get a grip man" 😂 your son is jokes.
All the best to you and yours during this festive season and for the future.
Love the humour, the detail, the lack of production production, and the hand model wardrobe.
You have a new subscriber.
Oh and fairplay to CIGA.
Thanks mate
A Nekkid review, great one looking forward to you stripping down the movement.
God bless you and yours and best wishes from NZ.😉
The only issue for an independent servicing this watch in the future is the minute wheel has been re-geared to a different ratio than standard, so if that part breaks and the company isn't around to get new parts the independent will have to make a new gear.
I think the parts will still be available from seagull
We invented a brand-new mechanical movement. On the typical movement 30° rotation of the hour hand followed by a 360° rotation of the minutes hand. We developed a new gear ratio, on which the hour hand(the earth) rotates by 30° and the minute chapter ring rotates by 390°. The original technology was named “Asynchronous-Follow”. Unlikely available separately, unless you buy the whole mechanism
Rock & Roll in the shower style reviews! :-D
Thank you for this. A good way to look at this watch.
As ever, funny, informative and compassionate
Keep them coming, we all need a little brightness in our lives ❤
not my kind of watch. but I think it looks good with a leather strap. and I love the designer watch displaying sleeve
I assumed the displaying sleeve shipped with the watch. That's attention to detail that comes with a $1000 price.
Love the vid, hate the watch.
Oh yeah baby!! This was great! I was singing wonderwall with you and spitting out my beer laughing!! Great work my friend!!!
I’m really enjoyed this video and your “review”. Keep up the good work!
Interesting; it's like a pancake version of the Seiko / Think The Earth WN2 watches. I'll have to check this one out...
😂
Saw a few of your videos (now I’m subscribed)you have a great sense of humor loved the breakdown your honesty gives me faith in mankind
Thanks rick
Best review I saw for this watch!
Great video,as always !! You're an inspiration. I love watching your videos, they calm me down and make me giggle. Keep on keeping on. Take care.
What a FANTASTIC channel you have created. Your skill and humour is very entertaining.
I watched your video for the first time and I found it most interesting and enlightening! Though I will never be buying this watch, or anything even remotely close to its value, I’ve definitely appreciated your craftsmanship and knowledge and even your witticisms and comedy throughout the video. Hello to the little guy that said, “supper is ready daddy quote❣️❣️ and I loved the half sleeve shirt♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😊Very enjoyable video good luck in the future. You clearly or a very gifted watch maker and repairman I assume!!
Wow I'm blown away that ciga let you take this watch apart you are great at what you do I really enjoy your channel keep up the great content
Omg man.. the video, the presentation, the chat.. you are great!
Love your review. Well done, thanks !!!
Nekkid Watchmaker, you are one of the best watch reviewers! This is proven by the fact you got me to buy a Tag Heuer Aquaracer recently without even meaning to do a review on it! - It was only a throw away comment you made about one of your early watches that got me looking at them and I absolutely love it!!! Thank you man!
Thanks mate
I’m thankful that the company sent one to you so you could break it open for us. Much love Mr. Watchmaker!
Thanks muneeb
Love this presentation, and a quirky watch!
I enjoyed this. Your sense of humor is great. Thanks!!!
Thanks mate
Brilliant as always. Good thoughts on current affairs too. Thank you Mr Nekkid man
Great video. I just picked up one of these as I really appreciate something unique in this price range. Fun to wear, well made and looks good.
At times like these we need more calming content, thanks for posting this
For me this watch is wonderfully looking! I'm gonna get this next month for sure!
As always I would love to see a full service of the movement! Thanks for the video and take care 🙏 tarar
Mr. B, The whole world is in a volatile state, but watching nekkid watchmaker and little monster in background gives us a momentary break 💞
A brilliant and very fair review. Once again, thank you for your wonderful skillful UA-cam input. Bless you.
Yes please would love to see the full disassembly and comparison 🙂. Again love your videos. Cheers
One of your best videos!
Great video - very funny and interesting. I'm very glad I found your channel!
Very surprised that they sent this to you, and very happy that you disassembled it partly. Would love to see the full breakdown and comparison.
Great video as always Joe. Yes please to the comparison. Blessings to you and your family
Great channel. I have my Ciga design Series Z Edge model a year back and i enjoy using it often. Not too expensive and very stylish.
Great vid as always. Casting my vote for the side by side breakdown video as well. Really enjoy your video style; wholesome, entertaining, educational. Thanks brother!
Thanks Adam
I like the review just the way you did it. Good job!
As always I have enjoyed your video. While my eyes recovered from the shower Szene I determined that a movement breakdown would be very nice to see - and of course the comparison to the real (Swiss) movement. Anxiously awaiting your next video.
you made me chuckle friend when you jumped as that crystal popped off!
Love the sleeve at the end! 🤣
