    Today we are unboxing a watch from Merkur watch group that has a wide selection of brands and models under their umbrella.
    Made in china with their own and third party movements, Merkur offers a huge selection of watches from military inspired like the Seizenn W10 World War II model we are reviewing, to Homages to popular Seiko and other brands.
    With a price of just $119 ($99 after the discount code) I really expected this watch to be complete garbage, but it has surprised me! Not only is it made really well, but also preportioned, legible, and with an amazing lume!!
    As usual, stay tuned for the full review!!!

    Merkur is a great brand - i own a Seizenn as well and the original designs say to me that they are legitimately passionate about watches. Even their choices of models to homage say a lot - if they only wanted to make bread, they would make submariners and integrated sports watches.
    side note: Seizenn does not fit within the Pinyin system of romanizing mandarin, so it is likely supposed to be a westernized name. Personally i just pronounce it "Size N" lol

    That's a great little watch. This form of the W10 was not issued in WWII but in the late 60s into the 70s.
    The most popular original manufacturers were Hamilton and afterwards, CWC after Hamilton stopped the contract with the UK MOD.
    I have two main gripes with this watch. While the use of a manual wind movement is IMHO a great choice, it's a pity that it is non-hacking, especially for a military-inspired watch. The second gripe is the crystal: IMHO it should be a plexi like on the original. if scratched you can easily buff it out. That's just not possible with a mineral crystal.
    Besides that, pretty cool little watch.

    A very nice watch indeed. I have a couple of pilot watches so it's enough for me, but if I didn't have them already I'd certainly look seriously at this one. Excellent review.

    if you do a review of it please open it up and show us the movement too (with some macro shots maybe), it should be much better looking than the price would suggest.

    Thanks for trying this watch, I look forward to the full review 👍. I bought this watch one year ago, unfortunately the movement became very erratic after a couple of months and I couldn't fix it. Rather than return it, I made aluminium spacers to fit a vh31 mechaquartz and new hands. It is still a great watch, I did email Merkur to suggest they sold a vh31 version as it was a straight forward swap.

    I have liked the case shape of the W10 ... been sitting in my cart for a while. Although I prefer the Merkur brand name .. just a matter of personal taste.

    this is a straight up copy of Hamilton KHAKI AVIATION PILOT PIONEER MECHANICAL H76419931, just a little larger and thicker than the Hamilton (38mm case 12 mm thick vs Hamilton's 36mm case 10 mm thick).

    yea, the Chinese watchmakers are in the process of biting a big bite out of the market. Mostly damaging the the Japanese so far, but tomorrow they will go after the Swiss.

    • @brianmsahin
      @brianmsahin Год назад +2

      True on the Japanese, but as for Swiss, I doubt if anyone that actually has the cash to buy an Omega, Rolex, Patek, etc will say, no, I'll buy a Pagani Design instead. I'm not being a snob, I have 4 AE watches that are great! But the luxury Swiss market and the Chinese market will never come together.

    • @karlsenula9495
      @karlsenula9495 Год назад

      @@brianmsahin... agree they have to slowly go up market ... become a staple world wide (like Seiko did), nibble away at market share, become a household name, then produce an up market range (like King Seiko and Grand Seiko) THEN it will likely be one or two new models with new features or haute horological features that will receive Swiss recognition and will suddenly elevate a brand (doubt there will be three or four brands). Best guess, right now, is that it will be San Martin, Baltany or Seagull that will be that brand - but that could always change.
