REVIEW: Sjöö Sandström Royal Capital

[@petterlindberg9479]

Nice to see you review this piece. All swedish watch collectors know about this brand, and it's very respected among us swedes! Cheers!

Thanks Petter, hope I did it justice :-)

Your pronunciation of Sandström is just fine. That can't be said for for sjöö though.

Wonderful design!

The way you used to pronounce IKEA is the english way to pronounce it which is totally correct if your British/American - in my opinion. If you want to learn how to pronounce Sjö (lake) Sandström (Sand Current/stream/flow) google translate does a good job pronouncing it. List in May 2019 is 62 700 SEK (20% VAT included).

Thank you very much for reviewing this completely under the radar beauty! From your review, this has immediately become my Grail watch specifically because of its classic looks and because I value both thinness and water resistance (and that glorious display case automatic movement). That said, are there ANY OTHER watches out there that can claim a 100m water resistance with a case thickness of less than 8mm? I've never seen this feat by any other mechanical watch brand. Does the Royal Capital have a screw down crown? Has this claimed water resistance been verified elsewhere.... Or is this a marketing gimmick? Any response would be appreciated!

[@qp2036]

Its certainly not a marketing gimmick. You can get your watch tested with the same pressure as 100m under water would give at an AD.

Let me know if you want to do a review of a Schofield ( I’m based in Stockport ) Lammylee on TZuk

Apologies for the delay. I'll message you now...

Vulture? They make movements?

[@alx6191]

Not sure if that was a joke that flew right over my head or not. But the movement manufacturer is Vaucher.

I'm not sure what you're saying, woe? the sj in sjöö is pronounced as a soft sh-sound (toung at the back of the mouth as opposed to say '[sh]ower'. öö is...well, just say oo
