    Out of the two biggest cons (lack of AR coating and 50m WR) the AR lack of coating doesn't bother me, however I wish it came with with more than 50m of WR so I could comfortably swim with it. The WR is enough for its purpose though, if I'm trudging through the bush on a long hike and fall in a river, or it starts raining I know it will be fine.

      My question too, exactly! I really like the Steinhart ocean one premium ceramics. But I am thinking about this Ginault too. I understand that this IS better than the Steinharts, but the question is: is it 3 times better? $1800 instead of $600. I seriously doubt it. At $900 I would very likely buy it...but double that at $1800 feels too steep.

      Yes, I once sent my Silent Service back for a repair, the same day the watch arrived back at Ginault, John recorded a video showing and explaining to me the damage and how I messed up the watch at his workbench. So yes very much he is building these watches in America. He hand build these watches by order and he can only build a handful each week. That's why the wait time was around 8 weeks after order placement.

    With the amount of effort put into this watch its a shame they didn't design something more unique. The Ocean Rover will be classed just as a Rolex clone and will grouped with the sub $250 chinese rip offs. Why not get a Invicta and have the mercedes hands too? (- because they are essentially fake watches) Ginault can clearly build a good quality watch, now they need to design their own. The Silent Service is a nod in the right direction.

Another reason is my obsession about dragons, I collect asian dragons in antiques in all forms, also i collect watches. That means this watch is just must have for me. In europe you cant buy them anymore retail and second hand pieces going now for doble price. Importing from USA or Japan comes with 40$ shipping and maybe 160$ of tsxes, so better for europeans to find it here in europe some how.

    Wow look at that dial! These are really elegant. I have a big wrist so I think it might be fine with it's 40mm. You are right about the finer details. Sapphire would be nice. All in all a really pretty watch! Have a great Friday bro!

      Interesting thanks!. Did you buy it new back then? I am currently debating between getting a vintage 14060 or the new 41mm. The old size looks better to me, but the new bracelet and having it be my own completely new appeal for the new one. Any suggestion based on your experience?

      Ok, ya luckily I have a good relationship with my AD, so I can. I just haven’t pulled the trigger because I see videos like yours, and the vintage cases just look so beautiful. Awesome strap pairing too!

      @Behzood1 The issue with vintage pieces is making sure you buy from the right source, it’s scary out there. Good luck 👍🏼 and thank you 🙏

    I'm sick and tired of all " watch reviewers " complaining about the sizes. Not so long ago 40mm was considered small, even for a dress watch.

      totally agree, smaller watches seem to be a fad right night. Lots of big men rocking female sized watched.

    Well….I’ve had exposure to these cocktail times, and owned a significantly higher end JDM with the SARX035 and I have to say these GS comparisons do irritate me. Yes, you acknowledged that the the GS is better and pointed out the price difference, but that doesn’t even scratch the surface. As I mentioned, having had owned the SARX035 which was famously referred to as the “Baby Grand Seiko” while it is a good watch, when I got my GS, I was shocked by how much better it actually was, because many people said the SARX line was a near-as-makes-no-difference replacement for a GS. I didn’t buy that, but I thought it might be in the same city if not the same ballpark…but it’s not in the same universe. It’s a night and day difference and the comparison is inappropriate, imo. It’d be like saying “Yes a Submariner is great but so are G shocks and you can buy 200 of them instead.” While true, it misses the point.
