My choice over Rolex Submariner

About 4 years ago, I bought this watch.

  • 41mm case diameter

  • 51mm lug to lug

  • 20mm lug width

  • 12mm thickness

  • 200m WR screw down crown

  • ETA2824, chronometer spec (keeping maintenance cost low!)

  • +-1 sec per day in normal wear day

Sturdy, accrate, comfy.

I chose this watch instead of Submariner.

Best thing about this watch is the

Dial diameter of 28mm. It wears quite close to Rolex 116610LN

People with Breitling diagonal 3-links bracelet would already know how comfortable it is.

(fortunately on my wrist. It has no quick-adjust)

But as any other watch, it has lacking points.

  • No micro adjustable clasp (bracelet)

  • 200, not 300 WR (no problem for desk diving, which I do everyday)

  • Bright but not so lasting lume (still good for desk diving)

If anyone looking for different, I think Colt 41 can do pretty good.

Lovely watch, doesn’t get the love it deserves from most people! I own both the Colt and a Sub, can honestly say as great as the Rolex is, I prefer the Colt. Mine is worn mostly on a nato and sometimes on a sailcloth strap. I’ve worn my colt everywhere and done everything with it, never let me down or looked out of place . Amazing watch 😍
