Congrats pal! Isn’t it 1:1 with a 5 digit 16610? What do you mean by Milsub?

Watch looks great I’ve been debating getting the same version (blue ceramic with date). Nice review ????

It’s a bit of a mashup. 16610 case, 116610 bracelet and indices plus the ceramic bezel, and mil sub hands.
It is very comfortable and a solidly built watch.

Thanks! I knew that, for a moment I thought that the construction was different from a classic 16610
This insert is spectacular! Seeing as it’s a dweller style insert It’d look epic on my 116600 haha

That is very nice looking, congrats.
I must say, as a long time member who has purchased BK, WM9, and TC watches, I find the continued back story a bit off putting.
The guy who did a very detailed analysis in reddit and other sites makes a big deal out of exposing the gory details including pictures addresses, etc.

Perhaps I’m wired wrongly, but the back story actually makes the brand more interesting to me and the watch a more appealing own.
Nice write up and I figured out that a haptic is a half tick! Do like the ceramic blue insert.
I have a ceramic black bezel Smurf OR2. I really do like it and am looking forward to Ginault’s Silent Service

Very nice piece. "Swiss Made (GEN) Sellita SW-200-1 is installed which is very fine. Not as fine as a Dandong 3135 clone..." At this point in time, if given a choice I would still select the SW-200-1 over the Dandong 3135 clone. I just dont know enough about the 3135 clone so I would play it safe.Welcome dear forum community!
I've thought of something different than these comparisons and factory reviews. A watch with a kind of replica history.
I am not very familiar with 5-digit subs, but today I will introduce you to the Ginault Oceal Rover 2.
I know that its not a replica technically, but, well, kind of it is, because of its history. Some of you might know
Right at the beginning I would like to state that I wrote this whole text in German and then translated it with google translate, so forgive me any grammar mistakes and keep in mind: I did not have a stroke - it was google
I ordered the Ginault Oceal Rover 2 with the navy blue ceramic bezel insert, date complication and flat crystal. Ordered from "John" () and after 3 months delivered to me via Taiwan from the States.
The watch came in a box with a screwdriver, various documents, well packed with a final test report over a week where the watch was regulated to + 2s / day.
Bezel
Brutally. What the fuck. I've never seen a color like this. Darker navy blue, which looks completely different depending on the light. Cloudy, sunny, artificial light, everything looks completely different, really classy! The bezel action is like a GEN rolex in terms of haptics, click and backplay. Not a single piece worse and better than all replicas I've had before.
Crown
As far as I can tell, the logo is a plum blossom which is on the crown. It comes off smoothly and turns wonderfully
Movement / data wheel
A Swiss Made (GEN) Sellita SW-200-1 is installed which is very fine. Not as fine as a Dandong 3135 clone, but fine nonetheless. Crisp data wheel with nice pressure and accuracy + 2 / s - wonderful. (Certificate, and also measured by me on a timing machine)
CG / Lugs
The case is 1: 1 as with the GEN Milsub. No words.
Bracelet / Clasp / Glidelock
The bracelet is very well made. Glidelock is flowing like the GEN.
Crystal:
I know I'll step on the tie of some, but I don't see any difference between the crystals. Please note that I am color blind and it may be that I do not perceive nuances in color differences. As with the GEN

10/10
Dial
Wonderful, matches the pointers. Solid pressure. The manufacturer simply has a worldwide network where you can find the best parts, brutal.
Bonus:
Waterproof 300m
I hope I was able to give all of them a few sweet minutes with the review.
Glückwunsch.
I have one too with the vintage Golden Sand lume, and I agree with your assessment 100%. I actually bought mine because it's basically a Rolex-quality Rolex without the Rolex name on the dial.
Only weeks later it dawned on me that it still looks like a Rolex to a wanna-be Robber, and by the time the guy realizes it's not a Rolex, you have already become the intended victim of this robbery anyway.

I would choose VS3135. Cause I hate the sandy winding feeling of a 2824 equivalent. Rather swap movement every 2-3 years than live with that sandy thing
