Superb reviev and spot on. I am looking to buy this and all the info was very useful and timely. Subscriber!

Great unbiased review. Agree with you on their pricing model. Guess at the end Rolex helps you retain the value long-term on their product.

I have this same watch from my dad I love it ❤ love my dad

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.

I wish the date window was framed, and that the bezel was rotatable. Makes the watch seem unfinished.

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

Interesting video recordings

Hey dude nice reviews! Have you stopped running videos?

Love this watch. Does the Bezel rotate?

nice

Nice BEAUTIFUL

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.

Nice review. Thanks for sharing.

I own two Steinharts and I'm looking at a third. I agree that they are the best watches for the money on the market. Hell, they'd be great watchs at twice their current prices!

💗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 🇫🇷 🇪🇺

These pepsi 729as came out in 87

Man you gotta come back to the game. Just this review alone is the most thorough and easy to learn that I have ever seen when it comes to watches

I have an original Panerai steel bracelet with mine. It’s a tank but I enjoy it. It feels like a piece of jewelry to me.

Really enjoyed your review!

I just got one . Second hand. Thanks for the video.

Mr. Chao - I commend you on your very balanced viewpoint - much appreciated.

Brilliant review mate, thanks for the time and effort you put into it! This piece doesn’t get enough love.

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.

I recently bought this watch, I love it.

Own the rhodium dial, love it

Txs. Would you please review the Marathon GP Officer's Mechanical? Love your systematic approach to watch reviews.

Very good video. I like this watch for its purity of form and function. It’s one of my favorites. I hope to get the JDD Arctic soon.

Very good video. I put a black and gray Ritche Fortitude Velcro strap on mine. It looks great and it’s a nice homage to the Velcro straps used by Astronauts.

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?

No AR on a 10grand sports watch?? Thats a joke, right?

I am looking for one. Probably the after 2007 version. Seem hard to find.

Love the watch.... how big is your wrist ?

Looks awesome. Deciding on this model in your white or the black. Decisions decisions .... How big is your wrist ? I had the 44mm speedy racing and had to sell bc it fealt too big for my wrist

Excellent review... one of the best around.

With this particular watch… If the texting “GMT- MASTER II is printed in white instead of green is it a fake replica?!…

I own three Tudor watches now. This Bronze 43mm from 2016, a 41mm red bezel steel Black Bay from 2018 and the newer FXD Titanium 42mm. Love all of them and wear all of them for different reasons, but the bronze gets most of the wrist time.

5:45, outside says made in Japan while the inside says made in China.

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 knew you had to be a teacher if you used a rubric! Great idea! Cheers!

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!

I have one that I've been wearing for 12 years, no problems at all. It is an anchor. Mine has the ETA-2824A movement and was made in 2009

I have the same watch! Love it, and from the same month and year!!👊🏼

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.

The best of the best for the price!

my favorite one

I own this watch and bought it for 400 bucks. Ok, I'm opening myself up here to criticism, but I believe this watch will become a classic collectible in the same tradition of the Seiko skx. I adore this watch.

Was issued a Luminox but once I received the Marathon GSAR I didn't/don't wear anything else. Great watch and doesn't have to look "dazzling" as that is not what it was made for.

great detaiiled review
