I’ve had Breitlings and Tags..with modified 2824s…. They were thick on the wrist though, got rid of them. I haven’t had an Oris, longines, or Steinhart that caught my eyes yet. Will keep them open

I like Ginault..cheer for them to succeed! It’s a nice watch.
I wonder if there has ever been a thread on Ginault that just stayed on track talking about the current watch, and didn't fall back into the TC topic??? I doubt it...
I just don't understand why anyone on a rep forum would be critical of Ginault regardless of the truth. It makes no sense to me.

- power reserve is fine. Longer reserve is nothing more than a pissing contest.
- movement is bullet proof. Perhaps the most reliable ETA.
Well I've just ordered one this evening after spending too much of my life reading through threads on multiple forums and watching, what must be hours, of YouTube videos.
Current spec they are selling is:

i should get mine in next 3 weeks but I go with sand lume
did you get phase 1or 2 preorder ?
Missed out on phase 1, got into phase 2. John said that phase 2 is 25% filled now. Discount still decent though - around £300 off in total.
Sand lume does look very nice - I was tempted myself but ended up with the glowing smurf.
Really can’t wait now!

Power reserve is crap
It’s not bullet proof but solid and there are far worse outside (seiko, citizen, dg2813 …)
Most reliable eta are 6498,7

Oh ffs. Let’s put this in context - you said the movement Tudor used in their Submariner 79090 and 79190 as well as the Black Bay is ‘crappy’. This movement has been used by Breitling, Omega, Oris, Sinn... pretty much everyone.
Get out of here with your crap takes.

ETA 2824 – The robust all-rounder
The ETA 2824 in its current version ETA 2824-2 is the epitome of a workhorse offering not only outstanding reliability, but also considerable durability. The most recent iteration of the 2824 series has been manufactured in large batches since 1982. Needless to say, any hiccups have long since dissipated. While more often than not high precision is achieved at the expense of robustness, the 2824 combines both characteristics due to its relatively simple but highly effective design. Most notably, the 2824 is reputed not only for its accuracy but also for remaining relatively constant at any position of the watch under varying conditions. The ETA 2824 also has a leg up on other movements not just in part thanks to its widespread usage, but also because spare parts are easy to obtain and relatively inexpensive. Due to its profound success it has often been copied by other manufacturers, even from those hailing from Switzerland. The most prominent adaptation of the ETA 2824 is the SW200 by Sellita which achieves excellent results.
Frequently used at: Raymond Weil, Michel Herbelin, Tudor, Frederique Constant, Mido, Oris, Mühle Glashütte

No the power reserve is crappy. Not the movement itself.
It’s a good alth. dated entry level movement with design faults.
Ever repaired it’s clutch?
The movement costs usd 70 in wholesale (for watch brands)
Does anyone have a valid & current discount code for an Ocean 2? (I read people do but when I search I find a big fat 0.)
I'd like to buy & try to see what all the discussions are about but alas, I don't want to pay the RRP because of curiosity alone.
Add to that, if I purchase how long are the wait times because again, I can't find a definitive answer. If you have the facts for me please show me the link.
Thanks in advance.

Kielxx gave the link I used and what Ginault themselves gave me. Timescales I was given was by July - so I’m taking that as by end of July and it might come sooner.
