Ingersoll Reliance Automatic Watch

Jun 19, 2020

Oh stop it--plenty of watches look like other watches! Why is everyone so concerned about who's bastard child this or that watch might be? You people sound like plaintiffs in a damn paternity suit! And what's up with this conspiracy theory that claims Rolex was every other watch's Milkman? Everyone hung up on this petty genealogy stuff should do us all a favor and slide on over to: http/: who's-my-watch's-baby-daddy-anyway.com and let everyone else get on with making an informed purchase decision! Now, as for this watch, I kinda like it! I'm sure it comes with the usual non-hacking movement, but I know lots of people don't really care about that, particularly in a sub one-hundred dollar watch. I don't claim this is the best sub one-hundred dollar watch, or even the best deal on one, but it does come with a 2 year warranty. And so far as I know, no one has yet had a bad experience with any Ingersoll purchased on MD. Correct me if I'm wrong... My guess is for those who don't want to spend a lot of time researching other deals, this one will do just fine.

As much as we like to hate on Ingersoll, this one does look nice!

If you want a more true to like Explorer copy, with sapphire crystal and same miyota movement https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000808960022.html Otherwise search explorer watch on ali and you can find many, many Rolex explorer copies with Sapphire crystal and better specs all around, mostly chinese or this miyota movement, too thin for the Seiko but maybe there's one out there. Solid casebacks and truish copies of the bracelet too, all for like 50-70 bucks. and if you can find a Miyota that is new enough, it will have hacking!

The watch is fine, but there's a big hole where the rainforest used to be and the steel card (along with the box) is bloody useless!

RayFAt least I own 4 now ,

quite a chunk of the rainforest and an iron ore mine . But all in all the box's are cool , and the ' Reliance ' is a very nice watch with great specifications for little money ,I am very happy with my 4 so Ingersoll's so far , zero problems in time keeping and build . These are a well made watch all being told .

Assuming you're okay with the movement (which certainly works well enough, but doesn't hack), this is probably the best looking incarnation of the Ingersolls offered so far. Earlier versions, particularly those that attempted a vintage appearance, missed their marks "Bigly." Whether you see this as a SARB homage, or just another generic, but not at all bad looking sport watch, makes no difference--it is what it is, and I assume those who purchase it will do so for their own reasons. On the other hand, why Ingersoll wasted all the money on the wooden boxes and steel "authenticity" cards, as opposed to upgrading the movements remains a mystery!

Looks like cheap SARB.

unixvova Which part looks cheap to you? Or put another way, which part of SARB looks expensive to you?!

Question for Drop: Screw down crown or push/pull? Watch buyers like to know these details. Question for Ingersol: Why waste time money on a wooden box? Throw it in cardboard and use the savings to upgrade to a sapphire crystal.

Mine arrived today , I am quite impressed with the quality on offer here for basically nothing , it's a good looking watch with great specifications .

Rolex Explorer look a-like for under $100 , what's not to like ? , yes it looks like the Rolex but it has enough of its own look to be it's self .
