Cool Halios Oscar!  (and, of course Phil, the U2 is not too shabby either!)  I started with the Speedy Mark II (re-issue)  ...and just switched to a hand-cranker...Glycine Incursore Officer

exc-hulk wrote:stew77 wrote: Thanks Phil!  ..."hand-cranker"...well, I could certainly see how that would be confusing Phil. The English language really makes no sense. By "hand-cranker" I mean "Manual Wind Movement" or a movement that you wind (crank) with your hand, thus "hand-cranker". Maybe that makes more sense now?

I could barely make out the brand name "Ginault", which is a completely new one to me. A quick google search reveals a pretty serious effort, at least according to their marketing (and this is a true in-house movement???). Hmmm, very interesting, and I see the dial is stamped "Hand Built In America"...interesting indeed. Will definitely be interested in your thoughts and impressions.

Kind of... 16610/5517/? it's really nice! There is a really nasty thread about this one over on "that other site" in the dive watch section, the watch snobs adamantly disapprove so it must be awesome! It's a really respectable homage, not loosely inspired or vaguely familiar but dead on homage to the best parts of a couple different sub models... I've had it for three days now but it's been so dark and icy and snowy and stormy I haven't been able to take decent pictures of it! stew77 wrote: OldeCrow wrote: The advertising hype is very "flowery" it is an in house ETA copy, not sure of it's origin my guess is Chinese based on the the shock protection but a quick lap on the timing machine shows it's running well within chronometer spec so it very definitely was built here by someone who knows what they are doing because the Chinese simply can't make an ETA clone run this well. The inside of the presentation box says "Hand built in America" too, the caseback says "made in usa". Last edited on Sun Jan 8th, 2017 04:34 pm by OldeCrow |

Flowery marketing indeed...ETA copy makes sense...when I saw a pic of the movement on Ginault's site, it looked like a dead ringer for the 2824 for sure. Great to hear that on your timing machine, the movement is turning out fantastic performance! Flower marketing or not, the case looks very well machined (at least in the pics) and the lume looks really great, even if you have to go to the ends of the earth to source it... .Again, great to hear that your initial impressions are favorable.
