A point about the lack of hacking: Non-hacking movements can back-hack. If you pull out the crown and put slight reverse presure on it, you can stop the movement or even make it go backwards. Try to avoid the latter, because it damages the movement. This effect is easier to achieve at low power. The swan neck regulator isn't useless, IMO. 1) You can check the accuracy even without hacking. Just time it in relation to the watch's setting. 2) You can back-hack it 3) You probably won't use it anyway, but there's more to look at. Which is the point of a display case back.
Some time ago I ordered a Sugess chronohraph. It came dead. Returned and compensated. More than a year later, I've ordered a new one, teal dial. On the way, somewhere in Netherlands atm.
Sorry it had happened to you, but at least you got your money back which shows AE escrowing is quite good. I never got any problems with the watches I bought there.
nice new model with new logo and circled small second & counter subdials (compared to the old one i have bought & repaired ♻yes i buy non working ones 😂); are the hands chrome or brass looking ?
Great review ! I noticed your 40mm has gold hands and a silver case, I think gold and silver looks quite nice together, but is that combination unusual? I also noticed that the company logo is in a different font on the 38mm, which is a bit strange is it not?
Thank you! I agree, two tone, especially when done right, is very good looking. As for the font of the logo... nothing surprises me about AliExpress watches. This particular one I have found out to be copied from the Singer Reimagined - look it up!
@@themicrobrandexpert Singer Vehicle Design was founded in 2009, so they probably took inspiration from their logo. lol Actually, I just bought the 38 mm :)
That exhibition caseback is just unreal! I'd invert the straps and wear it caseback on show if I could 😂

They're brass (golden) looking. Thank you for watching!

Nice watch, thanks for the review.
Is it just the camera angle, or is the baton at 6 o’clock slightly misaligned?
It's the angle. I, personally, had the same dilemma, but the two lines on either side are perfectly parallel to the marker.
What are those 2 Chronos with the orange hands???
Singer Reimagined.
Nice watch
Beauty.
