Work around?!
How ‘bout just shelling out for a watch you think meets your needs, rather than complaining that watch ”X” isn’t watch ”Y“ ?
Or is that your work around?
Agree with you, but the caveat is, people buying this particular Muhle G. watch may specifically desire / use the GMT complication. The Laco and Sinn that you mention as alternatives do not have this complication; when you look for a Laco or a Sinn with GMT, they are even more expensive than this Muhle...
Don't forget Damasko; I had a Damasko and a Sinn in the 'German Tool Watch' category, and honestly they were both very equal in terms of quality and finishing. It's just that they are pretty simple in design and you kinda get bored of them in the rotation, after a while.
The troll’s handle is “Massdrop ‘Sucks’”; so the troll took time to create a trolling Massdrop ID; & then takes the time to troll drops with vacuous trolling commentary. This lad’s future is bright.
Bloody nice watch, wearing mine as we speak..... great price. Big watch but light due to the titanium, strap very comfortable but you have to cut to size which may be a problem for some. Definitely 21 jewels not 25 as stated. Would highly recommend a great GMT watch
im a photographer. I understand. i'm just saying what it looks like. 45mm is a big watch. i'm a fairly big guy. my sweet spot is 42mm with 22mm lugs like my pelagos or my Seiko turtle. of course he obviously sees it differently.
You may have deeply hurt people whose girlfriends have wrap-around ears and bulbous foreheads…or tantalized those who desire such attributes… ;)
You write well—paint a good picture!
I like this watch so much I've decided to join the "German Navy Sea Battalion" in hopes they'll give me one too. The way I see it; I'll get a free watch and probably learn to speak German--heck of a deal!
mdsubWell, that is subjective. Myself, I do. However, if you look at the market as a large enough sample of subjective opinions to make an effective 'objective' opinion, you will see that people generally look very favourably at this piece and many others of similar ilk. Because of that, it will hold a nice chunk of value to others. There is a nice balance of quality, innovation, practicality, and market 'cred' in a piece like this. If you are in the market for a rugged, different, and precise GMT piece, this is a good one.
Thanks for asking me and listening. Have a great week.
I dont expect to find ANY of those three in a watch MSRP'd at 4 grand.
Unless its some super customized ETA.
Given the option of any of those three, Sellita would be the last choice and you know it.
huyghe27I disagree.
First, let's not forget that the MSRP here, as in many cases... (😁... 'cases'), is grossly inflated and these watches usually are not sold at MSRP price, but enjoy nice discounts.
Second, some high end manufacturers such as Tudor, Breitling, etc. have ETA movements; Oris mostly has now switched to Sellita, as have the Richemont and LVMH brands that used to use ETA movements (IWC, Montblanc, Tag Heuer, etc.).
So, numerous brands, affordable and expensive alike, use these three manufacturers' movements, and sometimes in fairly expensive models ($5k or more). The movements can be Top Grade and/or modified in the case (see I did it again 😂) of the more expensive models, but they are still ETA, Soprod or Sellita (and sometimes Seiko in more affordable watches, and Chinese clone movements in very affordable or 'fashion' watches).
Of course, many, many Swiss and German manufacturers use ETA, Soprod or Sellita in more 'affordable' watches too, which usually cost under $4k and as low as a few hundred dollars.
Unfortunately, today the $4k bracket is no longer considered that much part of high end, to be honest... 😢 So don't be surprised - or outraged - to find plenty of Sellita and Soprod in that bracket.
By the way, Sellita and Soprod movements' quality has been proven, many times, to be equal to ETA so there is no outrage there; I think that watch aficionados have always preferred ETA, not for technical reasons, but for historic reasons.
Lastly, you certainly know that in a couple of years, you'll find ETA movements *solely* in Swatch Group owned brands, so better get used to finding Sellita and Soprod in some of the watches you will want for your collection...
