I really like the look of this and I've had it on my radar since I first saw it. However, I wish it had a sapphire crystal; I'd happily pay a bit more for it with sapphire.
I bought the exact same watch and it arrived with the hour disk misaligned and not showing centererd in the dial opening. They refunded me with 29,51€ and I risked to repair it and was able to put the hour disk with the back spring in the correct position and now the hour appears perfectly aligned in the dial.
Thanks for the video. I really think the only miss by Merkur is the minute had circle not being at the spot where we can see the hours change....not bad. Cheers!!!
Very interesting watch that I attempted to purchase last year. I was informed the watch had been dispatched but I was then notified that there was an issue to do with exports and I was given a refund? I might consider it again in an AliExpress sale.
I think the Merkur Group puts out some of the best designed watches out there in the value range. I really wish they would use sapphire or a different movement. Thanks as always. You’re absolutely right about the minute hand.
Good review 👍 That is a good looking watch, you are right about the minute hand, they should have made it longer too. I know what you mean about the strap, I had a San Martin strap with that plastic finish and it was beige too, I sanded the finish off and found decent leather underneath, stained it re-stitched it and it now looks like a vintage brown strap.
Thanks for WATCHing
💯with you on a re-design on the minutes hand. Easy enough to do to boot. Fine review James. Thanks!
Thanks for WATCHing
You are most welcome James

Great result in the end. But disappointed to hear it had to be done that way.
Thanks for WATCHing
They def needed a circle to encompass the hour marker. Its the little attention to detail that would make it more attractive.
It would have really added something to it.
Other watches with a similar feel are the Lobinni Micro-rotor, Baltany 1921 and 1926.
I have the 1921 and it is great
@@WATCHingJames that's on my list to get I have the other two .. they are fantastic.
I recently got mine and instantly switched out the strap, and I love it. It’s actually getting plenty of wrist time
That’s great to hear. It is a great watch.
Wearing mine right now ... Mine actually came in a limited edition Year of the Dragon travel case.

Hmmmm that’s disappointing.
Definitely wait for the next sale. It is not far away now
I have this watch and love it, prefer it on the bonclip metal strap, though!
That’s great to hear. It is such a great watch. I really love all the details on the dial.

I think so too. Some of the best at this price point and so many options as well.
Are the hands blue or heat blued?
Just blue
Dial looks so good in the sun, good review.
Thanks for WATCHing
I quite like this. Its looks very cool and the salmon dial is also such an eye catcher!
I was initially unsure of the colour. But I’ve ended up really liking it.
Now that's an interesting timepiece. Learning about what's out there makes this hobby well worth it. Thanks for sharing this new timepiece.
It is amazing how many watches are out there.
James, that's an understatement!!😅
👍
👍
It's just a poor copy of the Baltic Salmon dial, except baltic is much superior
Thanks for WATCHing
👍
👍
If they didn't have such... Unique? cases the Mr Jones Watches jumping hours would beat this hands down I reckon.
That is a very interesting watch too
Nice watch. Good content.
Subscriber Straw poll was the description of 'Sort of' said more or less than 25 times in this review? 😏
That does sound like me. 😁

Oh wow. I would not have thought to try that.

Hi James

Thanks Brian. It is a very interesting watch. I’ve really enjoyed having it in my collection
Thanks James. This is a very nice watch, the dial is very nicely done.
I really like the details of the dial. Even more than the different movement type.
O no terrible looking watch
Seagal Also terrible.
Thanks for WATCHing
