Nice review! How many links are ‘fixed’ on the endlinks and not removable? 4 on each end?
Correct, 4 from each end without counting the end links.
I don't have a problem with the size but it would be better if it was thinner. This is a common thing with watches as the case size reduces.
I agree, this one is not too bad at 12mm, I think it could only be thinner if the rotor is removed, but then it wouldn’t be automatic. A flat crystal might also reduce the thickness, but that would not work as well as a domed crystal. Thank you for sharing!
@@simplewatchtalks yes 12 is not thick. thick is 13mm and above
I love the 34mm size, but hate faux patina lume. That's a deal breaker for me. If you're reading this, Thorn, please give us a BGW9, white lume option for the black dial models. Also, 12mm seems a bit thick for the size. What do you think, Simple Watch Talks? Does it seem disproportionately thick on wrist?
This is a respectable opinion! I don’t find it disproportionately thick, I hope the video shows that. Thank you for sharing your experience!
give us X1 green!
Thank you for your review. I think it is a nice looking watch and the price is certainly good.
My experience with the PT5000 movement though would make this a no go for me. I have two watches with that movement and both failed within six months or less.
From my research, there seems to be a consensus that said movement does not do well with hand winding. Both my watches got progressively harder to wind - and no I was not cranking on them or doing 30+ winds. Bottom line, I have two absolutely beautiful watches/dials that display the correct time twice per day. 😞
I am actively looking for a replacement movement that will fit within the cases and will attempt a replacement myself. One issue I am having is that both dials have the date window at the six o'clock position. If anyone has a suggestion/recommendation, feel free to share. 🙂
That’s interesting and unfortunate, I didn’t know about these issue with the PT5000, I guess I will stop winding it and hope it lasts. If you find a solution or replacement please let me know! Thank you for this valuable insight!!
@@simplewatchtalks You are most welcome. I wish I had known about the PT5000 before I bought those watches. I am so used to the main two types, Seiko and Miyota, I didn't think to question that the PT would be that much different.
Luckily, the lesson learned was not too costly and I may absolutely benefit from learning about the process of replacing a movement.
The PT5000 is a clone of the eta 2824 which are notorious for developing problems when handwound often.
As someone else has mentioned, you could replace the movement with an ETA 2824 however the hand winding issue will prevail
@@pixo4552 I appreciate your reply. I was thinking though that I might go with a quartz movement that has a date complication at the six o'clock position AND will fit within the case. The watch has such a beautiful dial and I'd like to get it to a dependable, mostly carefree unit versus just potentially ending up with the same problem.
Does anyone have a recommendation of a quartz movement?
the other brown dial version by BALTANY is better
