Thirty seven minutes and it flew by. What a thoroughly enjoyable and informative vid; absolutely first class work. Without doubt this is the best watch review channel on youtube. The effortless delivery style disguises somebody who is really on top of what they are doing. A class act. I love watching someone who clearly works really hard at their craft (whatever it might be) and then produces work like this. Every word, view counts. No superfluous bloody moozak, no wittering, no fake selling, just honest watch talk. Keep it going because you are a delight to watch. Quality such as this is rare but much appreciated and 100k subscribers will soon be here and well deserved. (The Cadisen Conquest by the way is running like a dream and the accuracy is PHENOMENAL. If it stays like this it will be the best thirty quid I have ever spent.Many thanks.) Tip o' the hat Jody.

[@kennedymcgovern5413]

Hehehe...the "Rolex Experience." You know, here at age 51 I have figured a few things out. The first television I was old enough to remember in our family home was black and white. As a small child, I had no idea I "needed" color, until we got our first color TV. Just ten years ago, when I bought my current home, I moved over my 36" old school "thick TV. It was only five years old at the time. I had no idea I "needed" LCD and HDTV until a few years later, when I walked through a damned Best Buy. So, as of RIGHT NOW, I am sure I will be quite happy with my Steeldive 1953 Submariner...unless someone loans me a Rolex fora weekend. So here is my wish: I wish for every friend with a Rolex to keep them to themselves!!! The last thing I "need" is to find out I "need" a $30,000 watch!

[@ragnarlothbrok936]

Solid advice

[@vincentferreira1135]

No Submariner that isn’t a 5513 or a 1680 or something vintage is $30,000.

[@junwoojang2941]

It's overdue saying this but i love the lume comparison, showing how the lume behaves and fades over time.

[@nickant2367]

As much as I dislike the Invicta, the Seiko NH35 in it is actually doing really well. The rate never varied by more than 2.4 seconds a day in your timing tests. It just needs to be slowed down a bit - you can screw the back off and do that pretty easily yourself. Back in 2008 I bought a Sandoz subbie from the Poor Mans Watch Forum. It was the Singapore version; had a sapphire crystal with cyclops and a Swiss ETA 2824-2 with incabloc, cost $US225 back then. Still runs great. Merry Christmas Jody and fans!

[@rockon21ful]

Owning two Rolex Submariners I can say the Ginault is the star of this group! Bracelet, case, dial, bezel movement and lume are close to Rolex, the unknown movement has worked wonderful for me. Ordered the Ginault when it first came out at a heavy discount just because I wanted to check it out and it's been great, I've even put the bracelet on my early 90's 16610 Sub for a few days and it fit perfectly! Another awesome review!

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

I've got the Loreo Hulk myself. Had it since August. Still keeping good time, no issues. I paid £55 for it. I'm not going diving anytime soon, so the lack of lume pip didn't bother me too much. Overall I'm pretty happy with it for the money. As for all the other homages in the video, I personally think that the Phoibos is the best value for money.

[@sinesaii]

Great comment. I just pulled the trigger on one (USD $68).

[@thesmartbudgetchannel2940]

Yup

[@stevenwymor1398]

I converted my scalloped bezel Invicta 8926 to an Omega Planet Ocean homage by removing the Invicta logo from the case, replacing the dial, hands and bezel insert. Total cost of about $140 not including my labor. And I already owned the tools from many other mods. Cyclops is easily removable with a second or two under a butane torch or a bit longer with a heat gun. Residual adhesive can be removed with a bit of acetone on a rag.

[@indyawichofficial1346]

Steinhart Ocean One 39mm with white enamel engraved ceramic bezel insert would place right after Submariner or Squale/Ginault in my opinion. Its a step up from previous version, mine runs +/- 2 sec a day nearly from day one. Flawless.

my squale was way off on QC. Lugs were not accurate and didn't fit my standard bracelets. Indices were also not aligned! Plus it was way taller then my ginault. It just felt gross to wear it. Not a fan at all of the squale.

[@cCcMamaw]

Similar experience on QC. Misaligned dial, bezel too stiff and inconsistent. Worst of them all, the crown broke from the stem. I never experienced such a thing... maybe the big oversized crown and the tiny stem is not a good match.

I had it now for about 6 months and only "fiddled" with the watch at the end of the month (when the date had to be chabged) and when we changed from "wintertime" to summertime and... In the whole period the watch was only 1 sec. out - and still is! Not daily, weekly or monthly, but during the whole period! It must be the best "low price" watch I've ever owned! Thanks for the great revue!

[@FitOutPost]

A fantastic comparison review, Jody. I especially liked the side by side parts for each competitor with a suby.

[@jonathanobrien1058]

I was very impressed with this review as you get into the details of movement, crystals, size, bracelets, lume and timekeeping, very good. Its interesting than you test the watches timekeeping using a winder, which isn't a real world comparison. It will be warmer on your wrist, will be kept fully wound all day, then will be left in a variety of possible positions, overnight, running down while it does that. I have a watch with a Seagull ST2130 movement in it (ETA 2824 clone) and it runs perfect all day (I regulated it myself), but will lose or gain up to 2 seconds overnight, depending on its orientation. Currently, if I wear it and leave it 3H overnight, it runs spot on. I bet any of these watches could be regulated to run nearly perfect, the variation seemed to be very consistent for all of them.

[@themightysquid]

Really like the Ginault. Rolex SS insanity will drive the homage market. The increase in a pre-ceramic sub is more than the cost of the Ginault which is a beaut in its own right.

[@RobertBrownieJr]

The double Squale branding is really important though, there's a decent amount of history behind that! Loved this video: my intro to the world of watches was actually a two tone Invicta, now you shouldn't look at my bank balance!! Love it Jody, merry Christmas!

[@PB-cx7wf]

Very good video, well done. I actually have the Steinhart Ocean One 42 mm and I can tell you that I'm very happy with it. Design and quality wise I would prefer it over the Ginault (for half the price), over the Phoibos and certainly over the Squale (which seems to be of less quality in comparison). Really a very good Homage and perfect everyday watch for 1/20 of the Rolex price.

[@billybenson3834]

I own 2 Invicta homages, both are fantastic watches that are great quality. I can care less about the billboard on the side of the case or the Invicta logo, it's a good solid watch.

[@thermionic1234567]

magic tricks I have the quartz version. It has a great bracelet and is one of my favorite watches. I’m going to put it on a Bonetto Cinterini rubber band and should get an effect very similar to the Squale 1521.

[@JungleEddie]

To me the most important distinction is that none of the homages are chronometer certified. I have a Steinhart OVM and it is a very nice $625 cdn watch but it is crap compared to the Submariner. On a side note I tried on some Omega watches and I prefer the mid sized Planet Ocean to the Submariner and the Railmaster Denim to the Explorer.

Nice video Jodie. I think re: accuracy you give a good indication however i think generally you need to wear them to get a genuine gauge on accuracy.

I managed to find and purchase 2 Steinharts this week. A 42 and 39. Total $ for both $625USD. A little more that only one new from Steinhart. I own a real Rolex ceramic Subby. These Steinharts are the new tool tool watch. ❤⌚

Recently bought a Parnis sub and am very happy with it, ticks all the boxes for my price range. That Ginault is a beautiful looking watch; I think for similar money I'd be tempted by the Yema Superman Heritage though ;)

Great video and a step up from many of the other sub homage videos I've seen. My watch obsession started with a sub fake and has gone through the ranges up to the Ginault. My verdict - Don't buy the Ginault. With such an outstanding build quality (and in my case, accuracy) it spoils you for other watches, especially cheaper ones but also some more expensive. With the sword hands, it is it's own thing which initially put me off, but I've now realised thats its greatest asset. In fact, I'd go as far to say it's not a homage and perhaps shouldn't be in the review.

Smile dial style, my new favourite word combination.

It may be my pureile humour but the hands on the Invicta may explain the smile on Micky's face ;)

You should try the Invicta 9937 with sellita movement, less than 300 dollars, sapphire crystal and swiss movement, it can be bought for 170 in black Friday. That's a terrific watch, mine is 10 years old and keeps runing like a champ
