New sub. Great review system. Delivery needs to flow better but that will come. Would be interested on why you had to move countries? I am waiting on delivery on a Zuan 1963 Pilots watch. Im not an automatic guy but for $110aud i couldn't say no. I'm looking for that size (or bigger) for my 7.25 inch wrist. I haven't got that vintage vibe watch in my collection and I've haven't ever seen something like this in quartz.

Thanks! I can’t decide whether to be more lively or stick to the calm soothing approach. I took a new job in Cambodia and it’s been really hard to get settled in start the reviews again. I’ve actually moved again, but in the same city. I meant to make a few videos last month but didn’t get to it. Maybe I can setup my studio today!

I wish the date window was framed, and that the bezel was rotatable. Makes the watch seem unfinished.
@ChaoTime1012 ай бұрын
Totally agree with the bezel. I would definitely not mind a date frame, but I can see why the cleaner look works for some people.

Hey , just saw the video, was wondering on the inner clasp (not sure if it’s called), the part where the word Rolex Geneva Swiss Made was written, the one on my grandpa watch was rough steel, heat-blasted (if I’m right) but in the video it’s polished steel

At 50 years old, I’ve learned so much about watches over the years, I have Sold my Rolly Sub and an O’ yachtmaster and replaced them with 3 Duros, on bracelets and G-10s’ . No regrets, just a battery change every 4/5 YEARS … yes Years. It’s a no brainer.

💗i already had two repaired of this specific model ... but older, not the v3 : - one with the swan neck adjustment kept, for the other i had to replace the full balance wheel, because there is not "screwed pivot" for the hairspring (see 6:32 for example ? can you replace the hairspring alone ?) ♻still buying such ST19 Sugess/Alpha/Seagull/Pierre Paulin/... but in "non-working" condition : i'm located in france 🇫🇷 🇪🇺

I have this exact watch from 1982 that my late brother bought in Spain while he was in the Marines. I loved it when he came home from overseas and when he passed several years ago it was the one thing of his that I wanted of his. For me it is priceless because it was his.

Unless I’m mistaken, I don’t think it was an original design by Rolex. I think another watch brand made a similar watch first. Maybe someone can remember which watch that was?

I wouldn't be surprised. Most design is imitation or derivative. But I haven't seen anything from that era that this watch copies.

Hi Chao - Thanks for the informative video on the 16570! I'm about to pull the trigger on one myself. Question on the fonts. Do you find the earlier 16570 have thicker fonts than the 16570 that were produced later (post T<25)?

A great looking watch with the perfect dimension for my small wrist. But so many negative reports of the 6R35 movement in this watch in terms of accuracy. Too bad. I don't want a watch that's off by 15-30 or more seconds every day.

I gotta say, it's definitely possible with this movement. I've had good examples and bad. The worst was about 30 seconds fast a day. Very annoying.

I knew you had to be a teacher if you used a rubric! Great idea! Cheers!
@VMIyanks04 Жыл бұрын
I love that you have a rubric! That really helps make it more objective. Great video and great watch! I do think that Seiko is getting more expensive than they used to, thus narrowing their value prospex (pun intended!). But every brand seems to be doing the same (Omega raising prices twice this year). The microbrands certainly can fill that gap because they need buyers to grow their brand recognition and can’t charge more. But I think most of us will still rather pay more for a Seiko purely because we know it’ll last forever. Side note, I’m glad Seiko keeps their lugs at 20mm because it makes replacement bracelets and strap options endless! Great video thank you!

Strange comment about the watch not coming with a bracelet to go swimming when it does indeed come with a rubber strap for that very purpose. Also, you can most certainly get a Panerai bracelet for it. As to the lume, It is the best I ever had on any watch I have owned, It goes on for ever.
