![]() ![]() That will bring us to the next point of contention. Be sure to take a look at all the pics in the gallery. Attention to detail was paid at every corner of this watch, including the machined end links. The crown stem is thick and has sizable gaskets as well. Beautiful applied markers with sand colored lume (4 corners of the earth lume :-0 ). Take a look a the enamel dial, it is a black mirror. Honestly, it makes a Steinhart look cheap. The construction, the case finishing, the dial work is all well above most microbrand watches. It is the best sub homage I have ever held in my hands. I adjusted the clasp, which is super similar to the Rolex Glidelock system, and allows you to easily adjust for micro sizing or of course to fit over a wet suit. Be careful though, the links are easy to remove but each link does have a collar in the middle of it, you do not want to lose one or the screw will not fit properly. Sizing was a breeze with the included screwdriver I forgot to mention and I removed two links to fit my 7 1/2 inch wrist. I am not a big bracelet wearer these days, but nylon NATO style straps are not my bag either, so I sized the bracelet and put it on the wrist. Warranty card, manual, polishing cloth and an extra sand colored two piece NATO strap. It arrived in a well packed clam shell style box, nothing fancy but not the cheapest either. So lets get to to what the watch comes with and the quality. But the claims from the brand and all the marketing hype and discussions kept me intrigued. And those are just the ones that I know of. There must be 20 Rolex homage watches that were introduced from new brands just last year, from the super cheap to the high end micro price bracket. It has been done over and over, and brands such as Ginault and others continue to come out with them. I have had them before, from Invicta in my early days of buying many, many years ago to Steinhart, Squale and so many others. ![]() It was because of that I wanted to see if the watch was remotely close to what they claim. It is like if SNL made a spoof watch website with all the marketing jargon from an 90’s infomercial. Their website copy is almost satirical when you read it. Now, don’t get your panties in a bunch, I am not comparing the quality of this watch to a Rolex, but keep reading.Īs I said, one of the main reasons I wanted to review the Ginault Ocean Rover was because of all the talk about it on various sites and forums. The Ginault Ocean Rover has allowed me to get the feel of what wearing Rolex on a daily basis would be like. It is just like anything else though, you can handle something for a short time and get a decent feel for its quality, but you really do not fully appreciate it until you can wear it, drive it, or use it for an extended period of time. ![]() I have held countless Rolex watches though, whether in watch stores or at gatherings etc. The design, especially the Sub, always felt dated to me. ![]() #Ginault promo code 2019 full#Full disclosure, I have never owned a Rolex. I will say I personally am walking a fine line with this one, as it really is very similar, if not too similar, to a Rolex Submariner. If you are okay with homage watches or are just interested in the Ginault Ocean Rover, read on. You, the reader, know where you stand on that and it is not in my right to change your opinion on that. To attempt not to repeat myself, I am not going to go over the debate about homage watches again. 1,000 Feet or 300 Meter Water Resistance.120 Stops Counter-Clockwise Rotating Bezel.What I am going to do here in this segment of the review is walk you through my journey with this watch and how this particular watch has changed my perception on a few things. If you have not watched the 17 minute video above, I suggest you do before reading my comments here, as I discuss most of the controversy surrounding the Ginault Ocean Rover and some of the brands responses to questions that were asked. If controversy creates cash, then the Ginault Ocean Rover must be selling like hotcakes, as the controversy was one of the main reasons I wanted to review this watch. ![]()
