The Boderry Admiral GMT Watch: Is It Worth the Hype?

[@nspr9721]

Great review! I just ordered this. I have their automatic little field tactical watches (Voyager) - superb quality, nice looks, almost a Hamilton at a fraction of the price. This brand has well impressed me with the quality of its outputs, perfectly sized, and yes of course you're gonna have a few design compromises at that price point, like the aluminium insert. A 200M WR Titanium GMT diver for that price is a winner.

Thanks for watching! I totally agree that Boderry is a very impressive brand that can deliver a fantastic watch at a very good price! They seem to be able to strike that balance between good design mixed with good materials and price . I am going to get the Voyager next. It looks so nice and as you mentioned almost a Hamilton for a fraction of the price! Thanks for leaving a comment and again for watching!

@@infinitekronos Although a cyclops etc would be nice to have, overall their quality is so good , my colleagues and I use Voyagers for high-risk international work downrange and overseas. Boderry have learned to get it right it seems!

[@infinitekronos]

Yes it does appear they have figured it out!

Thanks for the video. I noticed this watch a few weeks ago, but...I like the much cheaper PD NH34 Subby GMT more. Cheers!!!

[@infinitekronos]

Yes, I have that one also. Nice watch to be sure. Thanks for watching!

[@sharidumond5917]

I agree that it should have a cyclops on the date window, but it looks like a nice watch with many features.

[@infinitekronos]

Yeah the cyclops would certainly help. Thanks so much for watching and for your support!

Hi, great video! If I order the Watch from the website, Did I have to pay taxes?

[@infinitekronos]

Thanks for watching, I'm glad you liked it. I did not pay tax when I ordered mine and I live in the US. If you live in another country you might have to pay a VAT.

My only problem is I have really big rush. I’m afraid of buying a wash like this is finding out it won’t fit and there’s no way to get it any bigger.

[@infinitekronos]

Yeah good point! I was thinking of maybe putting mine on a different bracelet or strap at some point. Thanks for watching!

[@sushantmane3973]

Hello Good morning If the bracelet is made up of titanium, which is 2 times stronger than steel. Still it has got scratches within 1st week of your use. Is it the titanium quality is substandard. Second point:- It's. not a famous brand so at this price what ever the company is providing should be competative with famous brands.

[@infinitekronos]

You know, you would think that titanium wouldn't scratch as easily as it does. However, it does scratch easier than stainless steel. This is because titanium naturally forms a surface oxide layer that scratches easily. Stainless steel does not form that oxide layer. The purer the titanium , the more it will pick up scratches. As for it being famous, it is a relatively well known watch maker. True, it may not be known to everyone, or on the same level as say Seiko or Zelos, but the watches they make provide good build quality at a very reasonable price. As an example thier Voyager field watch is a very popular watch from Boderry that comes in at under $100 US on a strap. Thank you for watching and for leaving a comment. I really appreciate it. Take care.

@@infinitekronos I am preferring this watch just because its made up of titanium. As you said about the titanium properties, I am little bit confused whether to select stainless steel watch or titanium watch. Is this watch durable than stainless steel watches?

[@infinitekronos]

@sushantmane3973 it is pretty durable. The watch is not one that I use daily. My take on Titanium vs. Stainless steel is that they are both incredibly durable materials and are a really nice choice. I would say if you are looking for a watch on a braclet that is very light and not heavy on your wrist, then titanium is the way to go. Otherwise, I would go with stainless steel. It does have some weight to it, but I will say as much as I like titanium, I like the feel of the weight of the watch on my wrist. The minor scratches and scuffs will come with both, but I see those as memories of a watch well worn. Hope that helps you. I am happy to answer any other questions you have or provide any feedback. Thanks again.

@@sushantmane3973 you are very welcome. I hope it helps.

[@BRASS8888]

don't buy this watch. the movement is not as advertised. the GMT hands do not work properly and when you try to close the crown it does not "de-engage" to screw in . so the hour hands and minutes keep moving. so not able to set up the time properly.....

[@infinitekronos]

Sorry to hear you are having issues with the movement. So, I'm not 100% sure I understand what you are encountering. The movement is a Seiko NH34 which is a caller or office GMT. Sounds like maybe the movement might be stripped. I would contact Boderry about a replacement. Thanks for watching.
