Great video, my man! I was considering this watch because I am in the market for a daily-driver. I believe that every man should own at least one quality timepiece, and I have several myself. A quality watch is not only a great investment, but it become something to be passed down to loved ones. Still, I needed something for banging around at work and every day use. I don't expect this to go toe-to-toe with my Rolex Submariner, but if it can maintain decent time and if it doesn't fall into the so-called "disposable watch" category, then it's for me! It's also a plus that they are from Brooklyn, NY because I am originally from Brooklyn. I live in Minneapolis today, but I still like to support local businesses from back home. This video helped me make my decision, so thank you for that! Big thumbs up, brother!
I bought one of these on Groupon for $75. Looks like the real deal, I mean really nice - and over a year w/o problems. So my take is: the Rolex GMTII is $19,000. That's 253 of these. If they each last just one year.......... A better investment or just bad math? (I want to wear this on my arm, not hand it down.)
You wrong about price!! $16000-19000 is a grey market prices but the AD price is $9500 😂😂😂 for me it’s no big problem and GMT2 BLNR/ BLRO Mark2 are great investments and I’m in a waiting list for 6 Rolex watches newest 2020 models and already purchased OP 41mm silver dial and I love it ( no extra penny on it - with tax it’s $6250)... if you’re looking for good automatic Rolex homage look at brand called BLIGER cause they’re making watches with solid quality and much better looking that you bought
I am trying to figure that out too. The MT has a ronda movt and probably will be easier to sell 5 years or less from purchase...I wish someone would compare these two
I bought this watch for $75 on Groupon because; 1/ I really like the look of the Rolex Pepsi GMT with jubilee bracelet and this is as close as it gets. 2/ $19,000 is not in my budget and even if it were, I'm not sure I'd put it on my wrist. 3/ It's Quartz. I want my watch to tell accurate time, not be a mechanical marvel (I appreciate the love of automatics and fine watches, but I'm just as happy with an homage piece.) 4/ It looks great on my wrist. I've received compliments from average people, who would never notice a wrist watch.(It draws attention from those familiar with the Rolex too, and I have no problem telling them it's a $75 Stuhrling. To some, that be 1 step above "fake," but that's a big step. I'm not into fake. Now, let's see how well it holds up. I'll come back in 6 months / 1 year and report. For under $100, I couldn't be happier.
Jack Kratoville awesome! Great to hear it! I’m had great luck with this one so far and been fun for me. I agree this is the closest Pepsi GMT homage I’ve found to the real thing especially with the Jubilee bracelet (most of the other homages have oyster bracelets). The bezel was also an unexpected surprise with very ceramic like look and the numbers indented into the bezel like the real thing (unlike just painted in on like most homages). Time keeping is great. Only minor complaint is the alloy part of of the bracelet which is a little flimsy in my opinion but it’s fine. I mention in another comment I got some moisture in it when went swimming and forgot to screw down the crown, but was able to open the caseback with some tools and cleared it out perfectly! overall has been awesome and get compliments on this often! Thank you so much for watching the video and good luck with it!
Hi there! Thanks for watching...I still really like this one. The watch itself is great, very accurate (A few seconds a day) and still looks awesome and very much like the original. Few minor things, I'm finding the bezel difficult to turn but that may be from water usage, I'm sure there are easy fixes to get this moving smoother just havent gotten a chance yet. i also got some water in it, when forgot to screw down crown but was able to open the case up and get that out. The bracelet is an allow and very light compared to what it should be. But it all looks great and works great so still very pleased. i believe the movement is a Ronda 515 Quartz movement.
Muqdad Hmoud hey there I BELIEVE the case is stainlesss steel but the bracelet is alloy. Maybe check with the company to be sure. It’s a great price tho and the bezel is great. Very solid and even tho tough to tell from pics it’s actually a ceramic or ceramic like bezel with indented numbers not a painted aluminum bezel. Very nice touch
Muqdad Hmoud there’s s little bit of a gap but it’s uniform around the watch so has been fine for me. I’d say there’s a little play but not as much as other inexpensive rotating bezels I’ve had on other watches. It is a sub 100 dollar watch so I wasn’t expecting to get perfect clicking and zero play like more expensive watches. But I’d say for the price it’s pretty decent and not a ton of play so for the price I’ve been happy. Hope that helps!
Looking for the UP dates from owners-- Here's what I have found so far, had mine a little less than a year now. After a long length of wearing, Sadly the back of the watch is pitting. Having tiny holes of corrosion surrounding the lower edges. I still like the watch still keeping perfect time and still looks great. If they could put a case that wouldn't have the Pitting problem, it would be at the top of it's class. BTW I have a 2,000 dollar Tag watch, that I rarely wear since I got this Stuhrling watch as a gift.
Sounds very Strange!,,,,perhaps Your "Constitution" may have something to do with it,. I'm an avid collector of fine timepieces,,well over 50, mostly of a Motorsport Theme,. and have quite a few Stuhrling's, about 15 in all, mostly from their 'Monaco' line-up, w/ a few from their 'Aqua Diver's as well, w/ One being the model shown in this Video,,,and have Yet to experience any sort of "pitting" whatsoever,, and have had them now ranging over a period of near 20 yr's!,. and as w/ All timepieces, even the "beaters", Good & Regular maintenance is a must!
just a little critique .. have the light above you or in front of what you are taking a video ..(not behind you then you won't have so many shadows on the subject you are filming)
Billy A hey thanks so much man for the constructive criticism! I do appreciate it and know my videos are still pretty rough with delivery and filming but always hoping to improve. That’s a great tip and will keep in mind. Thanks for watching!!
sturhling emailed me the case is alloy not stainless. doesn't look like it on the video (usually you can see streaks on alloy and plating or just paint). Also people complain the bracelet is hollow and super cheap sounding and feeling. ?
The description I saw from site I bought on was Case (Stainless Steel, Alloy), Bracelet (Stainless Steel). The bracelet isnt my favorite. I do like the jubilee look and feel, but was difficult to change links and does move around more than I'd expect than feeling more solidly constructed. It does have a nice weight to it though and again looks great (to me).
hey what do you want for 65, I bought a staib mesh bracelet for my Breitling, for 325 which was a bargain compared to the 800 Breitling wanted for their mesh bracelet which is the same except for the Breitling stamp, I got one from china that looked 90 percent as good with the Breitling stamp, But I was willing to pay for the quality bracelet
I did have one issue due to me though. I had gone swimming this w/ the crown screwed down a few times and was fine. But one time forgot to to screw down the crown and some moisture got into the case :/ My fault though, not the watch since the screw down seemed to work fine for me. Moisture cleared itself out though. Other than that no issues!
Was literally about to order but the vid, which is great, changed my mind. This is why: - You get what you pay for - it looks like a Folex from the Village - people would be like daaamnn nice Rolex dog, to which you reply, no it’s just a $60 Chinese paperweight - this thing looks as solid as jello
J.B. Hey thanks for the feedback and appreciate it. Glad to help in some way even if helping realize not the watch for you! I’ve def had vids that made me realize maybe not my style or taste as well as ones that made me excited to grab one..both equally valuable. I will say there are some nice and very solid things about this watch like the case and bezel but others that aren’t like the bracelet. Like you said though it’s about the price point your buying at so I’m judging against what you may be able to get at this price. But thanks so much for watching and appreciate the comments!
Funny how people actually make the choice to be disrespectful when they could have gone the other way just as easily. If you don't mind the question, what did you get out of it? Did it scratch some itch you have that you need to be derogatory? What's the reward?
Red John I got mine from Groupon. I think I had an extra coupon or something for a few extra dollars off but looks like it’s 75 now here. Still a great deal!! www.groupon.com/deals/gg-cm-stuhrling-original-men-s-aquadiver-bracelet-watch-collection-gp17134
Don't buy this watch I had mine for less than a week and the screw down crown won't screw down. Save some more money and get an Invicta Pro Diver Quartz GMT

What’s your problem with quality watches at a good price? There is way worse watches out there compared to this. Go back to your cheap fashion watches poser.
aaqzues Gaming Legendary Master ugh that sucks sorry to hear that! Where did you get yours from, I got mine from Groupon here: www.groupon.com/deals/gg-cm-stuhrling-original-men-s-aquadiver-bracelet-watch-collection-gp17134
Don't buy a sturhling watch on Amazon, they won't deliver it, courier says he needs a password before he will hand it over to you Amazon says you don't need one, Nett result is you don't get your watch, just a refund!!!
sorry very bad video , you couldn't even unwrap a 65 dollar watch, was it really just loaned to you, need two people to turn the bezel, and had no idea how the gmt function works, maybe read the manual next time, pause the video and unwrap next time , now 69. dollars with tax available on ebay
Comparing a 75 dollar watch to a Rolex GMT is an absolute joke. You can buy a Chinese Pagani on ebay for 100 bucks with a automatic movement with a ton of better specs. These are absolute garbage.
thts company spaaaammmm, after u make a transation they dont really care if u recevie ur item or not also if u contact them by facebook messanger they just block , so watch out guyz
Too much rubbish talk. It's not a good deal if the quality is Sh*t! How about you test for accuracy & take the back off so at least some opinion can be offered?
No offense but if you decide to perform a watch review as an industry pundit, you might take 3-4 minutes to figure the fundamental functionality the watches purpose. Here's a link that will help you should you decide to edit or re-shoot this review. www.truefacet.com/guide/set-read-gmt-bezel-second-time-zone/
Battle Manager hey thanks for the constructive criticism. This was one of my first vids and def wasn’t as prepared as I should be! But def know how to use a GMT hand just rushed to make this vid. Always trying to improve though and thank you for watching. I hope you’re subscribe to the channel we have a new format so better video and audio coming soon so stay tuned!
I have 2 Stuhrling watches and I love them. They keep great time and look amazing. Beautifully made. Highly recommend them
3968 or 3965 whitch one is good ? Whats difirents ? And pagani design or this (nh35a)
FYI, Parnis and Pagani Design make similar watches with a true automatic movement for about $15-$20 more. Both are very good quality.
Thank you for your review. Without being able to see the watch in person, I think you did a great job showing it.
Thank you so much, that means a lot!
Put this on my "watchlist" for eBay @around $94 and week later the site emailed me a "take it now offer" for $67. After tax, paid about $74
Battle Manager That’s awesome hope you wear it well! Give me an update after you get yours and I’ve worn it a little bit! Hope you enjoy!
Thanks for the review. Love the Pepsi color scheme. Looking into Sturling because they seem like nice watches.
James Gretsch thanks so much! Been very happy with mine so far!
