Following my unboxing video. One week with this amazing watch and it is true love, with a few minor niggles.....
Unboxing:- • Ginault Ocean Rover - ...
I'm only 2 1/2 minutes in and you've clearly grown and found your unique stride. Now I'm interested in the decisions that led to how you review and present watches today. The biggest is your style is definitely unique and much appreciated.
I was referring to the 1200.00 US dollars, I feel that's a bit much for an homage type watch. Nothing personal sir.
Looking forward to seeing how that bezel goes!
Great honest review, and glad to see you wear the watch and not just leave it the box.
Just got this watch and I have the Steinhart OVM plus a Tudor black bay in blue .... It's stunning and sits much nearer in quality to the Tudor. Worth the cash!
100% agree Terry. Enjoy!
I completely agree, I had a tudor bb58, a normal size blackbay and a couple of steinharts, this to me is basically on par with the tudor, I actually much prefer this than either of the tudors considering I sold all of those watches and keep the ginault as my only watch. In fact my first steinhart last crown stem fell out about 2 weeks or it may have been within the guarantee period and steinhart refused to help me
I'm not aware of it being necessary to "depress" the bezel to turn. My Steinhart ocean 1 GMT had the same "creak " in the bezel, but that was a lower price point. Excellent review btw, very happy I found your channel! !
Thanks man! We share a love of Casios......
I have one, yes it's a spring loaded bezel. Push down and turn...
David Einhorn do you think it works, and adds value to the watch design? I have my doubts.....
As usual very good review Jody!...., BUT why would anyone purchase a Ginault for $1,300 when there are so many offerings by other exceptional microbrands for around half or more of Ginault’s retail price (Helson, Borialis, Zelos and Axios just to name a few). Unless someone is looking for an exact copy (homage) to the Rolex Submariner (and don’t want to dish out $10K for one), I cannot see anyone spending that much money, heck anyone wanting a Ginault, just go to eBay there are numerous offerings and people can save at least 40% or more on a pre-owned timepiece, or check the watch forums for people looking to swap or part exchange.
Well he said in the video he got a major discount on it.
I have the same model and the bezel works perfect without pushing it.
Perfect alignment, no play, clear sound of the 120 clicks and regular force to move the bezel along the whole ride.
I love this watch and it has more wrist time than my beloved omega seamaster.
My Sea Dweller bezel is has a little up/down play. Also used to have a sub that was likewise as well. You dont have to push down to turn them.
I got the datejust and ITS AWSOME
I agree on the bezel. I've got a similar feel on my Sinn EZM 13 and I don't care for it. Not a biggie, as you say, but I'd rather a firmer feel.
The bracelet is unsigned. I think it's because putting their logo on a complete replica of Rolex bracelet was something even they hesitated about.
I think I preferred these watches when they had Rolex stamped on them!
Hello Jody, Ginault.... !!!! it is a fascinating story still continuing.... Ginault watch created by Tsung Chi aka Charles Ginault aka..few more.
Personally, I knew at the moment I bought a watch from them. No physical address, No customer service phone #, and actually no customer service what so ever. Their watches weren't hand built in America. It was Hand built in Fake Rolex factory in China and so as the fake copy movement. Ginault had us going for few years, but eventually the truth came out.
But you still bought one...
@@liambrown1216 yes, i certainly did. but when i bought it, i never know that the movement was shit and made in China (I guess that I believed Ginault's fake publicity). Also, I only found out later on that Ginault never had any good warranty service nor good communication.
Your bad experience doesn't reflect the brand as a whole. there's plenty (including myself) who receive good customer support from John (albeit a little slow) and had no issues with the watch or warranty. As for the movement call it what you will but it's regulated perfectly and +2 seconds daily after 2 years is pretty impressive if you ask me. Go ask other long term owners how thiers is doing I have no doubt most will say the same thing. In addition to that it's easily swappable to a ETA 2824-2.
@@liambrown1216 I never said that my own personal experience reflect the brand as a whole. this is youtube comment section where you leave your own comments and opinions of a certain products. THAT is all I did. Nothing more or nothing less. if you or anyone else had great experience, kudos for you and them. and I am very happy for you and them. I am just telling my own experience. what is wrong with that?
if you had a wonderful experience with Ginault, just leave your remarks on your own comments. again, I am happy that you had a good experience. I am sure that some people had good experience and some didn't. you don't have to tell the person how it should be. Just comment your own things in your own comment.
@@alexsdg3441 Agree - and thanks for your informative comments
great review of a beautiful well made watch...
HELLLOOOO and welcome to ..just one more watch! Hey Jody so good to finally see one of your older videos! Quite a difference but I enjoyed it just the same. Super job and great to be a loyal subscriber. Thank s always and stay healthy my friend! Chris...
Thanks for the great review. Wear it, enjoy it, live in it!
Great review. I'm sure the quality is up there but it's aimed at people who like the idea of a sub for a lot less money, where as I see it as a homage for a lot of money and I'd prefer something original. Save your pennies a bit more and a used seiko marinemaster would be within reach.
I see your point Michael. Each to their own. Cheers!
Or keep saving forever and get a Grand Seiko Spring Drive diver!!!! Yikes. Packaged ramen for the rest of my life!
The "Bliger" automatic ceramic current submariner-date homage on eBay is a steal for $100. Have you made a review of it yet?. Happy to own one for a few months, 10/10 visual candy. Same adjustable clasp found in the Ginault. IDK anything about the movement, but it keeps time. Don't know about accuracy/power reserve.
How fascinating to stumble across this 4 yo presentation! Jody you sound Scot/Australian here. Almost unrecognisable. I had to double check it was Just One More Watch. ☺
What makes it not a Rolex homage are the lack of mercedes hands and lack of cyclops, IMO.
You can get it with a cyclops and date if you want. I prefer the non-date version.
My bezel definitely wobbles like that, at times it’s been worrying as I thought the insert (which has happened, easy fix) came loose
Wow, your videos have come a long way.
Ha! This was done on my old phone with a desk lamp! The accent is still the same though. Cheers mate!
'ello, youtube < HELLOOOO and welcome...!
This is a great watch congratulations!
Yes sub does depress slightly as does Tudor divers. Does look like a nice watch and by all accounts well made too.however this company have to start exercising a little transparency. . Some of their claims are questionable to say the least ..By all accounts could be purchased a few months ago for 560 dollars. Today if I wanted to ship one in to the uk with taxes and shipping it would be around 1600 dollars.. Thats just ridiculous and they certainly won't gain many friends with such dubious business practices. Too many unanswered questions regarding this company and the secrecy has many wondering if their heart is in Asia..
Ginault - "Don't Believe the Hype". I bought my Ginault a few months ago and have worn it for special occasions. Just the other day, I took it out of the box, attempted to set the date and time, wouldn't you know - crown malfunction now the watch is no longer operational. Requested where and how to have the watch serviced - nothing, nada, crickets, not even an FU.
Ahhh mate, I know that I shouldn't have to say this, but be patient and persistent. John isn't the best at communication but I'm sure he will look after you.
I like Jody's video and watched this rather late (a year later). Also, I came across the Ginault controversy on the web. I read it and it was quite interesting and convincing. You can check it out with this link here (lexic.co/deepdweller/exposing-ginaults-illegal-past-tsung-chi-and-thomas-caddell). I just wonder if you have got your watch fixed?
I’ll stick with my Steinhart and Squale diver homages. It does look nice though. What’s the power reserve?
I believe the push down bezel was originally a Rolex designed “feature.”
Hey man, nice review. Did you have to pay extra import taxes for customs when you received it from the post
Thanks! No, you only pay taxes above if the item is worth more than $1000AUD.
@@JustOneMoreWatch that's amazing, in Canada we pay duties on anything over $20. You are so lucky!!!
I will stick with my Steinhart Ocean one 39 . Great watch . Only $500us .
This thing just seems crazy now that we can get a San Martin Milsube for $220
That bezel shouldn't do that. If you do take it diving, that gap will allow sand in there an mess things up.
Hello, I realize you have no reason to do this but, is there a possiblility that you could create a video on adjusting the band? Thank You very much
*I have an 114060 Sub, and I get the same link scuffing.*
AWESOME review man, thank you!
I has one it’s a great watch but$1200 it’s way too much I could go for the squale for half and ETA genuine not cloned. Nothing personal just my opinion
Steinhart is best value but prefer non mercedes hands
The movement they have is amazing ...
They have tweaked it to perfect it ...
Pretty well decorated but not perfect ...
Still just an ETA-2824-2 clone 🤷♂️
True. But it is like saying, "It's just a 7S26 movement." That doesn't change the fact that a 7s26 can run twenty years without a service. The ETA is common and easy to repair and is accurate. What's the problem with the movement?
You still got this baby?
Your thumbs look so young in this one .... Hard to believe it was only three years ago!
I know mate! It has been a f@cking hard three years! 🤣🤣🤣
@@JustOneMoreWatch ... Your own fault for living in Australia 🧐
I didnt know that there are different kinds of bezels (other than bi and unidirectional). So how are those other bezels called?
ClassicalGaming (FPSOlaf) No pure other types of bezels- they either turn or don't - in one or two directions. There exists only modifications to these. So all bezels are either non, uni or bi.
Myself, I prefer the MKII Nassau. Check it out)))
I would also like to know what the OP thinks of Ginault given the latest expose as a former Rolex counterfeiter. Sorry but I do not support reps. Here's an updated link: lexic.co/deepdweller/exposing-ginaults-illegal-past-tsung-chi-and-thomas-caddell
movement is??
Movement is...... Check their website ;) They call it the Ginault Calibre 7725 or something. It is a modified and regulated ETA2824 clone.
just there beautiful watch my concerns how will it retain value and will they make it 3 year warranty and service no good if they don't make it.
+Jeff Bankston mate, I'm thinking, worst case scenario, just plop in another clone or original 2824/200 at service time.
Why is it so hard for a company to just make a watch that doesn't look like a fake Rolex???
It's not hard. It's just all people buy so why make a watch that won't sell?
Sorry, how much???
No. Bloody. Way.
You could get a decent Oris for just a bit more, or less if you scout out the 2nd hand market!
Hell, you could get 2 or 3 top-end Seiko divers for the same money!
Lol, don't get me started on Oris and their poor little Sellitas :(
Cheap ass bitch
It's only for those that want the quality of a sub without spending 8k-10k so actually no it's not that much
You wear your watches tight
Id rather have a San Martin :D
the quality of this destroys the san martin but they are both amazing for the money :)
This is an amazing watch for the price. I have the sub date and most times I wish I had the no date and this would easily scratch that itch. This also seems to be a step or 2 above steinhart in terms of quality as I already own the Steinhart 39 Explorer, it's hard to justify another Submariner style watch, especially a $1200 homage. But I like this watch so much and as this channel is titled "just one more watch ", I'm adding this to the list of next watches...
Its homage not a replica
The origins of this model has a very interesting history. To say the least.
You may find the oposite of what you said is true.
You think this aged well? 🧐
😂😂😂 It aged a lot this week.
Just One More Watch Jody I’m glad that you caught wind of the news. I like you a lot so please don’t take this personally but I think you should follow Adrian’s lead and take a similar stance in denouncing Ginault. It’s the right thing to do.
@@rodneydanger543 I am glad Adrian had the guts to remove the video and maintain his integrity.
Danny T so am I. I’m actually more surprised at the relative silence Jodi has had though. I thought he’d be amongst the first.
Believe what hype? Since when did faking an iconic watch and calling it a homage become a good thing
A bit overpriced for what you get imo.
That depends on the price, doesn't it?!
I'm really not sure how many people have paid the full price. They are still offering the discount. Agreed though, I wouldn't buy at $1200. Maybe $900?
I agree. I am getting mine with Rolex on the dial for about $800 from NOOB!
@@IntellectualKetchup your kind of limited when it comes to selling a fake. At least this has not got Fake written all over it and from what I seen, you do not lose much money, if you want to sell.
How about an update on the Ginault ?
kwrx mate, I will do a proper update after four weeks on the wrist, but still in love! Movement getting better, settling into COSC standards at -3.5s/d. Have hardly taken it off.
Jodius Maximus, Awesome! Looking forward to it.
You lost me at eta clone...I’d rather get a seiko or orient diver
Horribly overpriced imo. Equal to better build quality for a more sensible price from Steinhart and Tisell
So I take it you have handled a Ginault then? I suspect not if you are comparing it favourably to a Tissel!! Cheers mate.
Just One More Watch hahaha just loving that passive aggression ‘mate’. Yes, I’ve handled and been underwhelmed by the Ginault. Tisell’s offer is superior. Can you accept my informed opinion, even if it conflicts with yours? No one is asking for your approval here.
I live in Australia, we call everyone mate. I can accept your opinion, but I don't have to agree with it!
@@all_is_1485 ginault, comparable to tissel? You gotta be blind mate
No eta? no selita? no Jody! Parnis is looking alot more attractive now. lol
Ha! Check out their V2. Sellita SW200 and ceramic bezel. Absolutely stunning, but now seriously tainted with allegations that company owner was a counterfeiter.
It's a tricky one mate. That's an individual choice, I guess.
I would sooner have 3 Steinhart and change than this watch....
Mad For it enjoy your Steinharts!
Just One More Watch I only own one Steinhart the OVM...cost $400 and why I own that is because it's a homage to the Rolex sub 5517 of which only 1200 were made for the British military and of which only about 200 survive today, ence I will never be able to own one not just because of the price when one does come up for sale at over $100.000 so the Steinhart serves its purpose. I own 2 genuine Rolex a deep sea seadweller and a Sub..and like I said why buy the Ginault for $1300 when it's not much better quality wise and it's still only a homage to a Rolex!
+Mad For it hey mate! I don't think many people have paid $1300 for the Ginault, I certainly didn't. Agree that it isn't worth that. By the way, have you seen the Phoibos PX002? A lot like the Steiny for much less cash.
Just One More Watch no never herd of it but will look it up..and thanks..have a great day..
Mad For it I had two Steinhart and, after buying the Ginault, they looked cheap and without any charme. I sold them with no regrets
I like all of your video Jody. This watch is definitely beautiful. I also came across the Ginault controversy (Tsung Chi) (lexic.co/deepdweller/exposing-ginaults-illegal-past-tsung-chi-and-thomas-caddell). It was quite interesting read and convincing. Well putting all of those asides / all of the legality kind of stuffs mentioned in the article exposing Tsung Chi, it appears that this watch is quite solid watch. I would love to put my hand on one. It is still a ton of work and efforts to make such a watch.
The camera lens isnt clean if I seenig.
It causes issues with focussing.
W
Promo is over and I would say not really worth the full retail price. Just my opinion.
I would agree. I also hear that they are still offering 40% off which imho is about spot on. Cheers!
Just One More Watch I went to the website but didn’t see the 40% thing. Would love to compare this to my Steinhart OVM MAXI LE from Gnomon
Checked the website again and no promo code offered. Maybe I will email them
Yes mate, you need to email them for more info. Tell them you want to make a comparison video. Cheers!
Just One More Watch I think I was emailing them as you were typing this. 👍
can't stand the bad video quality, something wrong with your lighting
Ha! Yeah, a very early video mate. Try a more recent example...... Cheers!
The Ginault is one model that is NOT on my shopping list, in spite of this animated and biased review (got it cheap from the guys at Ginault did you?) the watch is crap, and the Chinese copy movement is awful, yet they charge anything up to $ 1,500.00 for this piece, hmmm. Buy at your own risk. Love to hear from actual unbiased owners how accurate this watch is, I know it loses /gaines up to 2 minutes a day.
Hey mate! Thanks for the message. The Ginault was the most expensive watch I bought last year, and I love it. Have you ever handled one? Doubt it. I made four videos and a one year update. You should check those for movement accuracy. But if you still wanna hate on it, help yourself. Cheers!
Didn’t sound biased to me at all should be careful judging the person based on your opinion of the watch.
@@JustOneMoreWatch I would love to hear your opinion on this watch/brand right now, Jody
If this is overpriced....what's a real Rolex? Lmfao. Too many fakes COPIES wannabes(watches that actually say rolex that arent)....GINAULT homages or whatever you wanna call it) Rolex is a complete ripoff in my opinion. People building basically the exact watch for fractions the price.....all your buying with Rolex is a name. Go buy a house or something useful with your Rolex money
a red second hand ??? please no!!!! You.ruin the supreme swiss Rolex Submariner style!!
