My respect for damasko just went up. I’d gladly pay the asking price for an in house movement.
This is a really great overview that has significantly helped convince me why I'd prefer Damasko's in-house over their ETA editions. Especially loved the animation to explain its functions and innovations over competitors.
"I'm now going to implement pointy stick thingy." Love it!
No need to apologize for making this new movement workings crystal clear. Amazing looking watch. Thank you.
Fun to see the new A26 movement, Marc. Thanks for taking the time to explain it. Damasko makes great watches. I had a DB5, but it might be time for a DK30.
Marc, you never need to apologise for "long" videos. Your educational approach is great and I enjoy the longer ones personally. Thanks for the education on the new movement!
Thanks for taking the time do this Marc. Very informative.
Thanks for the lesson in watch movement design!!! I love learning about how these things work. It helps to understand what you are wearing on your wrist! Great video as always Mark!!!
I’ve been daily wearing my Damasko DA44 for months on the bracelet that I got from Long Island watch. The watch has been tremendous and the fit is perfect!
You sold me! I want a Damasko now! Thank you for teaching me about there movement! Learned alot today!
Glad I could help!
Thanks for another excellent video Marc ... not a lunch & learn ... definitely a great tutorial. You turned me on to this great company a few years ago Marc and I’ll be forever grateful as I have a few in my collection now and they are some of my very favorites. I’m hoping these new models with the new in-house movements drop down in price a bit in time.
I very much appreciate your approach to sharing and educating the watch enthusiast community Marc!!!
Very informative. Thank you. These are excellent watches. Everything you need and nothing you don't.
Their inhouse movement sounds amazing. I do not understand people wanting an inhouse movement, just to say they have an inhouse movement. It only means something to me if it is better than commonly available movements. Damasko has clearly achieved that superiority. Great video Marc! Happy new year!😍
Man, I do love your vids! You just identified exactly what's wrong with my one 2824 clone watch! Oh, and seeing Damasko's new winding module gets me all excited. At first I was put off by the updated price, but now I get it!
The price increase is a tough one to swallow, but it is quite understandable why Damasko (and others such as Eterna) have created their own movements now. Seiko's "magic lever" invention for bi-directional self-winding is brilliantly simple. Glad to see it's been implemented in the Damasko movement as the ETA mechanism, now also used by Sellita, is more complex with more moving parts, and costlier to make. It's my hope Damasko can substantially bring down their price for the in-house movement models. Otherwise, they're not going to sell very many of them compared to the ETA 2824-2 models. In practical owner usage, there's nothing very significant to differentiate them in daily performance. The ETA 2824 family has been an outstanding workhorse for decades with very high long-term reliability and durability.
What a great industrial looking movement! And with a full balance bridge!
Authentic love shown for your spring drive watch!
right on
Thanks for educating us! Nice overall designs. Love that blue dial..👍
That spring drive is amazing
Thanks for explaining it. This has to be the one of the most reliable, if not the most reliable movement in the market.
Very cool. Thank you for the explanation Marc 😊👍
Great video and thanks for the info on the movement. I saw the Seiko style winding movement when you turned it over. That and the full bridge are great additions to a solid movement.
The increase in cost is worth it to me to have an in-house movement. There are not many watchmakers that have their own movements. This sets these watches above many others, especially at this price point and given Damasko's already impeccable reputation for reliability and durability. I will be placing an order for the ocean model on your site today Marc.
Great new movement. I like the Seiko system simplified for autowinding! Very nice. but the price! ouch! I'd grab one if it was say 200 more then the ETA version. but I understand they are tiny company and its expensive to do what they have done. All the best to Damasko excellent quality timepiece.
You did a better job explaining this then Damasko did. I think I prefer the way Oris added performance to their new movement, but I can see the value in Damaskos movement.
Nice episode. Been considering a damasko for my next watch. This new movement is a big deal in my opinion. Very cool. I definitely would pay a premium for an in-house movement. The architecture of the movement and finishing are pleasing to the eye.
Thank you for this important and very informative video! God bless you, sir!
The blue no date will be mine soon!! Excellent educational video and I'm glad you didn't throw up on the watch 🤣
Love new in-house movements!
I’m watching this wearing my Sinn 856; now it looks like I will finally have to pull the trigger on a Damasko. Good luck with the new website launch!
Thanks for the info Marc. I have one watch with the Eta movement and now I’ll worry about winding it, although I don’t wear it often. 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Great video Mark and goes a long way to justify the cost differential. Damasko should be well pleased with that explanation. I'd be happy to pay the difference.
Really like this. It's a practical and well designed daily wear sports watch.
for sure. bravo to Damasko. Would be cool if Sinn started something similar.
Sold my DS30, I regretted it a day later, I'll get another one next year, superb watches.
Gee thanks Marc, just got the first Damasko and now I want a second.
Really appreciate these instructional videos. Also, my Islander bracelet (BRAC-08) came a few days ago and I love it.
Great to hear!
Thanks for the review. Very little out there on the A26, so this really helps. Have ordered mine. I'm in the EU, there is a four week lead in time. Cheers.
Excellent overview of the new Damasko in house movement. Im gonna take a closer look at the brand in the near future. 👍
Happy holidays and a great new year!
I learned something today. Thank you.
Neat watch! Good explanation of the differences in the new movement. Not sure I'd spring for it- not enamored of the aviation look, but as a watch, very clean and innovative.
I know this doesn't have to do with the video but my islander (isl-18) arrived a few days ago and I absolutely love it! It's my 1st watch and I am SOOO glad I went with L.I.W big fan of the channel and I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. ⛄🎄
That is awesome!
Great review Mark!
Great content Marc. Please do more like it. I don't think your viewers mind that they are lengthy.
Agreed! I enjoy when he goes into detail!
That symmetrical balance bridge is pretty nice 👌
Great video! You are the man!!
This is one of the most honest brands! What you get for your money is incredible! And that's compared even to Seiko. Genuine, modern design, absolutely genuine metallurgy, in house movement, and not massively overproduced. Metallurgy on these are incomparable better than Swiss or Japanese "butter" steel. If you want to wear a watch every day, and you don't have servants to do manual things instead of you, don't buy AP, PP, even Rolex, because when they loose their perfect finish, they will not be AP, PP...any more. So, Damasko is elegant, luxury watch that can replace your g-shock. I only wish that they do not become Nomos.
I really like the DS30 green... Dime day I Will get it. Great concept for the movement.
Very exciting !
I love everything about the watch the exceptions of the dial and hand design. I think this watch with in house, case, with sinn 556I hands and dial would be perfect.
Another spot on video
Interesting, Marc. Thanks!
Excellent information!
Love Damasko. They have such a nice finish on the cases. You should do a Damasko vs Sinn.
Love it!
Fine vid Marc. Thanks
Appreciate the video!
Not bad! A bit plain but an ideal no-nonsense all-rounder and the blue with the black date window looks great! I still prefer my Hamilton 38mm Khaki field watch with the H-10 movt and on a bracelet...Cheers, Marc and have a safe New Year.
Spring drives the nuts
Wonderful review. Worth the upgrade I think.
God damn! This watch and the bracelet... almost perfection!
I just wish they had a diver model. Right now they have one but it's not really the one i am looking for.
Great video
Not a very Common watch had a sinn before looking forward to this one .12 weeks wait time
I could not break mine ! So I thought go heavy so I took my dozer and ran over it ! Needless to say I lost my track ! Excellent German quality ! Tough as a panzer !👍👌
Love it
very nice video mark.... thank you.....
A very merry Christmas to you Marc and a prosperous New Year
Yes.
About to get my DA46 with invincible bracelet in the next few days!
excellent video
amazing!
I have a DS30 Ocean as well, but with a blue seconds hand. I bought it used, not sure why it has the blue second hand, anyway one of my favorite watches. Buying now with the in house would be hard for me to pay the upcharge.
Have a safe and happy holiday
Thank you for your review as it has shedded more light on what you are paying the extra money for .The DK 30 Damasko in comparison to the DS 30 Damasko . I have only recently been looking at German watches specifically the Sinn 556 , however this is 38 mm & a basic ETA movement & I have at least a 7 inch wrist . Where as the Damasko DK 30 is a 39 mm more robust & a great movement by the sounds of you have explained . I could see buying the Damasko DK 30 however I have a question ??? What would you say , would be a similar watch in swiss in terms of price & movement . I ask you this as it is CLEAR that you know your stuff & your opinion would be appreciated , thanks again for your review I was glued to the screen as a watch movement is as important if not important as the look of the watch.
Really good review Marc I adore damasko for their excellent technologies used on the materials, so you think it's a more refined movement then the nomos within the same price range?
I think they are going the same path as Sinn, and Nomos with having a premium on their in-house movements, but they make it also more unique.
I feel Damasko has to make a color scheme that is only obtainable with the in-house, otherwise for most people ETA is a better choice for servicability.
Great video - thank you very much for the insight. Any news on whether a chronograph in house is on its way? I'm planning to buy a DC58 but would happily wait (and pay more) for an in house version.
You hear in-house, but when you actually see what they have done it's definitely worth the premium. They had durability in mind which shows they take pride in their work.
Why i love Sinn's overengineered watches too.
I now more.Thank You!
Great video Marc, really enjoy your channel. Can you tell me the accuracy of the new movement?
Great review Marc. If this didn't look so much like the cousin of my Sinn 856, I'd be all over it.
Nice Damaseiko !
I'll take it!
Hello Mark, you and that Seiko Big Love!
Hello there!
Thanks Marc. Questions... Is there a ghost position on the crown with the no date? Is the rear glass sapphire?
Really nice that they use hardened steel for the winding gears. It’s kind of ridiculous that eta uses brass. No wonder why that eta movement breaks if you hand wind it everyday. Great upgrades, but the price is a lot higher.
Thank you for another excellent video. Honestly, the watches didn't do much for me, but I'm glad I stayed for the movement. First because you explain why they tell you to avoid hand winding an ETA2824 (and other ETAs as well? I hear Valjous don't have the same problem.). Then for explaining the Magic Lever. Why has ETA never corrected the problems that have been around for decades? Do Sellitas have the same problem with the winding system?
I think they do.
I’ve had the DS30 Ocean on my wishlist on your site for a while and I think you’ve sold me on the dk32 as an upgraded movement.
Marc, do you if the new movement is more accurate? If so, I would think they could offer some kind of an upgrade for existing clients. I love my ETA DS30, but might be tempted if they offered that. Thanks for another great video!
Good video. My concern with a small manufacturer having their own movement is servicing. I have a watch from one of the premier Swatch Gp brands and can take it to various places where I live to get it serviced but I would imagine the options are limited for a brand like Damasko. It would be interesting to hear what people with actual experience of servicing this type of movement think?
Great explanation of the different movements (ETA, Seiko and Damasko), just a shame the Damasko powered one appears to be about 50% more expensive than the ETA version. As you say though, Damasko should be congratulated on developing their own movement.
Their own movement that appears to be so similar to the ETA movement given so many parts are interchangeable. So much for being ‘original’
@@cc8530Always doubtful how in house in house movements are .
Can the ETA movement accommodate the steel gears, to get rid of the brass ones?
Great comparison, Marc! I absolutely love my DS30 and their in-house movement just made an already outstanding watch even better. It may be time for me to upgrade in a different color variation.
On a similar note, I’ve noticed that there aren’t any videos floating around displaying the new DS3X steel bracelet on either the DS30 or DK30. Would love to see a video on that. Thanks!
Happy holidays. Damasko at this new price point vs Sinn? Sinn might have an ETA movement, but there is a greater chance you can get that fixed without having to send it to the manufacturer.
Hell yea!
Hi Mark. I asked you about the Seiko SRPD31 a few/couple months ago (if you remember which I doubt you do😅 )and you had said you couldn't get one in. I don't know if you handled one of these but I managed to get one for Christmas and wow for a 43 mm watch it wears very small. Well on me anyways.
My only grip is that the way its curved on the back only the hard lux crystal makes contact with your wrist and it kind of "sticks" in place. Its not to annoying though especially if you don't want the watch to move too much on your wrist. So if you get a chance to carry these I think you should consider it. Its defiantly something different from the dearth of other similar models Seiko has out there.😅
Nice movement. So will the DS30 and other models with the 2824 will be discontinued?
That's cool but that really puts it beyond my price range, As long as people keep buying them I hope it turns out well for them.
Your no date flieger in a 38mm size would be a genuine rival.for this....and that's high praise indeed?
This is great. Thanks for a well done explanation. Would like to see some A26 movements out on the open market.
Thanks for the detailed explanations, super useful!
Do you know how precise the Damasko movement runs?
My DK32 is running -5 sec in 72 hours.. bought it four weeks ago
