- Lets take a look at the STUDIO UNDERD0G Desert Sky. An affordable Chronograph punching at a great design-price point, but is it all roses or is the Chinese movement a concern? Let's discuss.
Great review! I'm glad you're enjoying the Desert Sky and my approach to the industry :)
Cheers,
Richard
My pleasure! Thanks for the awesome designs Richard!
@@HarrisonElmore Which one/s of the ‘awesome’ designs did you buy with your own money to own and wear?
Love my studio underdog watch limited edition strawberries and cream ❤ ... met Richard sound guy 👍
Nice!
I like the fresh dial designs of Studio Underdog. The movement has a fascinating history, as it is essentially a Venus 175, which dates back to the 1940s. Tianjin Watch Co. purchased the machinery and blueprints for the 175 movement from Venus in 1961, and reworked the movement with a higher beat rate and more jewels. I have this movement in my Seagull 1963 and it has been very reliable. There is some quality variance between movements (some have insufficient lubrication when assembled). But for the $150 I paid for my Seagull 1963, it is quite the bargain for a column wheel mechanical chronograph. BTW, Venus was absorbed by rival movement manufacturer Valjoux in 1966.
It’s a Seagull movement as found in some cheaper watches but these movements have been regulated when the watch is assembled in the UK.
I'm not much of a Chronograph guy...I do have a few in my collection. That being said, the design, color options, the dial...I really like this Chrono...it's original, fresh and well put together...it "flows" if you will. Unique is a great word! I agree about the movement...it's okay, it keeps the price down...but I have to say...I would happily pay $1000.00 for this design with a better Chrono movement in it. Just my 2 cents.
I am not a chronograph guy either, but I do have none in my collection because I am not a chronograph guy.
They are great. Hope to have my own someday
I would love to see a Chronographph movement explanation that you mentioned
I’ll put it on the list
I’m with you - fun in a watch
I have the mint choc chip and love it
Nice! That’s a cool one too
Nice watch the watermelon and harder to get hold of at list than a Daytona! Says it all good value and rare.
Agreed!
I really love the design ethos, but I just wonder why they haven’t sought a better movement and increased their pricing after the initial success ….
My guess is they’re worried the price point is a large driver of their current success! We’ll see what comes next!
@@HarrisonElmore it probably is, to a degree, but I’d be happy to pay the difference if they started using even an entry level Sellita or similar.
Yep, that’ll be me 🙌
Can you review a Baltic Tricompax? They are sexy and about to restock in September.
I’ll try to reach out to Baltic!
Cool cheeky watch
Agreed!
I'll buy this desert sky today on preorder ...❤ the design 🇮🇱
I like the Watermelon, however all the others fall short, and are getting pricey
Out dated tech hahahahah are not all mechanical watches outdated hahah touché. Great bid I enjoyed it thank you for you time.
I love my watermelon :)
have you sold your rolexes yet?
Is the title supposed to be "Who Hates an Underdog"?
Yes. Clearly I'm not immune to typo's! All fixed
"great watch at a cool price" or "cool watch at a great price"
Cool watch at a great price I’d say
