Love Ginault, solid watches and great value. I have an Ocean Rover II which I wear a lot, it's a great alternative to a Sub and the build quality really isn't far off. You can treat it like a tool watch without worrying.

I just wish they'd make a GMT.

I don’t know anything about Zenith bracelets. But it feels comfortable and I like the clasp - great design.

The dial, of course, is the star of the show.

Hmmm…. I have rolex on oyster, jubi, royal oak, nautilus and overseas.

All the above bracelets I love. Is it close to any of the above?

Zenith is known to have janky bracelet. Their clasps in particular is like rolex from the 80s
It’s shit

I mean the finish is better than any of my rep bracelets. No sharp edges, no squeaky links, doesn’t feel rattly.

Ok, that’s good. Those sharp edges on the reps drive me crazy.

Does it feel light and hollow or feels pretty well built?

I think I'm going to go ahead and look for that 1 of 36 Jade dial with the 3 gold crosses.

Doesn’t leave much to be desired for me. I would say it’s light but not cheap feeling if that makes sense

So perhaps instead of a solid steel like an oyster , it’s like rolex older lighter bracelet? That feels like a tin can?

Thanks man. I guess the dial really is the star and the case n bracelet are decent so 8/10 score on the bracelet. ?

That blue you have though it’s pretty.

What a beauty!


38.5mm is just about perfect. The thickness at first appears to be a lot 15 13.6 but it's only 10.8 without the domed crystal. One of the best looking watching I've seen in awhile! Like the understated color scheme that's not as crazy as some of their others. Love what's coming out of UK.

I'm assuming that for $2,000 they do send along that piece of delicious looking salmon it's sitting on . . .

Yes it’s nice it sort of reminds me of some of the Maen chrono offerings

Not this one in particular but it did make me think of the Maen brand
