I've heard a lot about this brand and I am extremely curious and I'm excited to bring you
not your typical micro brand and even though the name silent is on this watch it actually screams
quality introducing the all-new Ginault Silent Service Submersible and right off the bat this
timepiece gives me a high impression of quality let me start off by giving you some behind the
curtain information when I film my macros I don't do one watch at a time I do a handful and when I
film this watch I was filming with a couple other micro Brands and a major brand but every time I
went back to pick up the Ginault I would get that feeling and think man that's nice every
time so the in the hand feel is excellent now who is Ginault you may be asking well
they were created in 2011 so they are a very young brand and they are owned and operated
by a watchmaker machinist and they are hand built to order in America that's special and
a big differentiating factor most micro brands are designers excellent designers that just send their
specs to a factory in Asia and get their watch made now when you look at this watch you're going
to see some similarities Rolex Submariner Vibe but the case bezel case back and Crown are all
CNC machined in America and then hand finished by Ginault extremely laborious and you can definitely
tell because the quality is fantastic we got high polish on the sides and you have that gorgeous
rough brushing on the top of those lugs and that reminds me of the five digit Subs the best subs
ever made I prefer this type of brushing over the new satiny smooth brushing that you would
see on newer generations of Rolex's the bezel is extremely grippy sharp but not too sharp and the
design was inspired by a cross-section of a U.S Navy submarine the insert is sapphire and there
are two options you can get a 12 hour 12 click bi-directional dual time or the one I have here
today at dive timer 120 click unidirectional now speaking of that bezel let's have a listen
oh
wow
all right so the bezel the best way to describe how it feels is so there you go that's the
description foreign I love the bezel it's smooth buttery and yes it reminds me of a Rolex
Submariner almost exactly now the crown is 6.9 millimeters and it's a screw down Crown giving the
silent service 300 meters of water resistant it has a clutch system and it screws down flawlessly
every single time so just like that bezel the crown the haptics the feel adds to that high
impression of quality because it is a joy to use now let's do those Dimensions I got 40 millimeters
in diameter bezel 41 millimeter secret measurement 31 millimeters okay so even though it's a 41 mil
watch it does wear like a 40 it wears a little bit smaller than its size indicates you guys be the
judge on my six and a half inch wrist on the far away shots we have a thickness of 12 millimeters
even including that large bevel called sapphire crystal with three layers of high grade Optometry
anti-reflective coating and it shows because the clarity on this Crystal is extraordinary
we got no drill lugs and a lug to Lug of 47.3 very nice the bracelet is solid and links with
solid links 20 millimeter tapering down to 15.5 it does use screws and we have a fully milled
clasp fold over with on the Fly quick adjustment and the quick adjustment feels solid and smooth
the way it clicks in and out of position so that impressed me very nice so overall the bracelet is
as comfortable as a Rolex bracelet but the watch itself is superior to a Rolex watch in Comfort
why do I say that well although they both have 300 meters the Rolex Submariner case back is sharper
and sticks out further down the Submariner floats about a mil and a half above my wrist because my
wrist is not squishy and it's not flat but the Ginault has a little bit more of a rounder case
back and this case back hardly protrudes down like the submariners I just found it really comfortable
and it sat flat on my wrist now let's have a quick look at the dial hand applied forged indices and
I love what they did here I have never really been a fan of the Mercedes handset but I love
the mil-spec handset so is a home run for me and with that new baton style indices it suits
the mil-spec handset much better than the round indices on the Submariner and now the finishing
the hands could use some smoothing on the side like what Monta does after the rhodium plating
but it's not a big deal and the dust level in here is pretty impressive especially on a black
dialed watch which is so easy for my camera to see this one is very clean so well done you know
and I know most people are not going to Loop their watch but just knowing that that extra effort has
been put in you know your watch has been cared for and that's a good feeling now let's check
out the loom we got powerful bgw9 Swiss super lumin novo with that awesome blue glow it looks
really good you can tell this one has a healthy application and the loom will last a really long
time now let's check her out on the time graph we got a Salida special grade if you're used to
Eta that's the elaborate grade it's a 26 jewel 28,800 vph smooth sweep hack hand wine automatic
and it's regulated to six weeks six positions now that's impressive they make sure it's broken in
and running perfectly before they ship it out to you so no surprise look at these numbers negative
one second a day over 300 amplitude with zero beat error now let's do 12 down to see the positional
variance how will this watch actually perform when you wear it we got negative one and then zero we
did get a small drop in amplitude and a little bit of B air now we have plus one and the fourth
and Final Round plus one that is superlative performance so here is the million dollar
question what does a hand assembled high quality milled out in the USA superlative timepiece cost
you well this one has an MSRP of $1499 USD and that is absolutely worth it but right now it's
still in the phase 2 pre-order so this no date is going to cost you $1149 USD so that's about
$350 USD savings and the promotion is also on the date version $1299 USD and the date version with
Cyclops $1399 USD so let me know your opinion down below and if you liked this video then
you will love the two videos on the right of your screen right now and I'll see you in the next one.
