FOR SALE! All - I am selling off some of my collection, and this Ginault Silent Service with 60-minute bezel version is one I am set to sell (sorry, I am keeping the 12-hour bezel version). It is the exact watch shown in this video. The watch is in immaculate condition, and has only been worn twice outside of the photos taken for this review video. The timekeeping is still spot-on. This comes as a full kit with original box, papers, bracelet links, tool. The watch is honestly at a brand-new level (originally priced $1,499 USD), priced to sell fast at $875 USD (excluding shipping). US & Canada buyers only. Payment accepted through Zelle or CashApp. Ships from Columbus, Ohio. If interested, please contact me through the email address listed in my account profile. Thanks, -Jon @ WATCHSPEC

Not to be a nudge, but no mention at all of the controversy around the brand? Just feels like at least a passing mention of it should be included so any buyer could do their due diligence before purchasing. Also, there are posts out there by folks who took theirs to their local watch dealer and discovered that it wasn’t a Sellita under the hood but an ETA clone. Assuming it’s the same one that’s in the Ocean Rover. Caveat Emptor.

This! I was about to order one of these but seeing this talk about using replica movements has put that on hold until I can find more information. Im fine with a great quality watch just being that but I also really don't want to service it in the future thinking its a Sellita movement and they tell me well you know this is a clone movement right?

@alexsdg3441 Жыл бұрын
I just got mine few days ago. simply put, it is an AWESOME WATCH! If this had Rolex, Omega or Tudor name on it, easily it would be $5K to $8K. Even though OR2 has been my favorite watch for very long time, now, I do not know which is my favorite. It is a coin toss. But I got to say this. Silent service's sapphire bezel and its action are out of the world. Definitely one level up from the look and action which is a lot more assuring and refined than OR2 ceramic bezel. As for the dark black mat finish dial, I wasn't sure that I would like it when I was watching youtube reviews. It seemed too light for my taste. I always preferred Dark Piano Black (like OR2). However, when I have it now, I like that dark mat black because it turns to Mat Gray / Black only when it is under direct light. In normal situation, at home, office..etc, it is very dark black, not quite dark & shinny as OR2, but it is really deep black color which I like very much. I would have preferred OR2 dial, but it is bit different and I am getting to like it more and more. The bracelet & Glide lock clasp seem to be exactly same as my OR2, but I just love the 1mm bigger size and 1mm plus thinner case design which fits me perfectly (7.35 inch wrist) It feels better and more comfortable than my Ginault OR2. As for back case, it is bit of departure from OR2 back case design (which is 1 to 1 copy of Rolex), but I really like it. It is very simple yet classy and it actually make it sit on my wrist more comfortably. Just a stunning watch all the way around. Thanks Ginault!

wow thank you for sharing! This is a damn good looking watch!! they really hit it out of the park with their own design! I LoVe LOVe Love how they are able to marry the 20mm oyster bracelet with those broader lugs with such smooth transition unlike what Rolex botched on their 116610. That black matte dial is also very sporty and sexy coupled with the larger chamfer and that big crown matching the bezel cut out! You can tell Ginault really spent a lot of time designing this piece. The fact they offer 2 insert options with matching bezel functions really shows that these guys care about the finer details.

Let me begin by stating that I am a huge fan of Ginault, owning an OR II. However, this watch is a bit of a disappointment. I'm not a fan of the flat black dial, nor the bold red font of "Silent Service" on the dial. To me, it cheapens the watch. Further, the crown is disproportional to the case size. Sadly, it's a pass for me. Thanks for the review.

Hmmm. The dial and the hands are the only things that are similar, and when I say similar I mean just that. The watch looks as much like Rolex as it does an Omega and it looks as much like a Blancpain as it does a Rolex or Omega. It looks like a Ginault to me. What is funny is that Rolex copied Blancpain and Omega copied Rolex. What is your opinion about that?
