Jaragar Watch Review - $16 Worth of Chinese Fun with waccex.de Hirsch Strap
Переглядів 4,6 тис.4 роки тому
This little "homage" (ehem) to the Cartier Santos 100 XL has been in the back of my secondary watch box for several years now. I wear it, maybe, once a month. But with a new Hirsch "Mariner" Saddle Leather Watch Strap from the friend of the channel, Mac at www.waccex.de, the watch is now worthy of some more serious wrist time. But there's a little bit to love and a lot to hate about this thing....
Equation of Time Model 22 Deck Watch by RGM

The Equation of Time Model 22 Deck watch is an homage to the original deck watch produced by Hamilton for the allied fleet during the 20th century. This watch is part of a secondary line of watches designed and assembled by RGM watches of Mt Joy, PA. This is a more accessible way of acquiring a piece of modern American horology.

This is the first watch I ever re-purchased. And boy, am I glad I did. This is one of Hamilton's most beautiful offerings. I got a great deal on this because of the wear and tear on the bracelet and case, but with a few basic tools and some elbow grease, I've brought this back to life. The movement is running 1 second a day! Way to go Hamilton. My original review: ua-cam.com/video/84o1ZDZ5fTQ/v...

    Slight correction the watch in the box is a marine chronometer what you have bought is a deck watch. The marine chronometer is built to much tighter standards. WW2 US navy standards for marine chronometers was a second and a half per day. And they had to be this accurate because it was a navigation tool. The deck watches would be worn by the crew and they were built to what we now call cosc certification which is -4 to +6 a day. And they would set their watches to the marine chronometer and that is how you get ship time.

Watch Gecko is a great company, but a few UA-cam videos out there help to direct people to good quality Chinese offerings 👍 Thanks for this comparison, it shows that we need to be wary! I’ve just noticed this video was made 6 years ago. I think that things have really improved since then…….

      @DavesWatchLove 3 місяці тому

      I can't say with absolute certainty, but both share the same size case (42mm), so I imagine they are the same case. Can't see Hamilton making two different cases. So I would think the steel bracelet would match the chronograph. Best of luck!

Can someone confirm whether the case is the same for the regular non chronograph and chronograph? I want to buy the oem stainless steel bracelet for my h797160. The seller of the factory stainless steel bracelet couldn't confirm. If it will fit because Hamilton never offered the chromograph... I couldnt find any sude by sude of the two versions together but from the pictures and videos I examined, the two cases appear to be the same...

    @jaydub9509 5 місяців тому

    Nice review! However, one advantage of the less expensive models in your review is the relative range and ease of size adjustability. Right from the start, the wrap-around type of mesh bracelet will fit a wide range of wrist sizes with near infinite adjustability, and because of the clasp design, the fit can be resized almost on the fly (all that is needed is a paper clip and about 2 seconds) at any time during the day. The clasp on the Milanaise-style bracelet I have is also very secure, and much more discreet than the monster clasp on the STAIB model.

Lug to lug is about 47-48mm and my wrist is around 7 inches (give or take a quarter). I think I'll be fine with the medium lenght 150mm version, but I'm still debating on the butterfly vs diver clasp... Which one do you recommend? I'm also going with the Matte version (less shiny version).

    I bought a cheap Chinese version also. It was made badly - the clasp would not slide. Kinks in the bracelet prevented the slide to adjust length. The Chinese market depends on volume - it has come to mean cheap, not only in the sense of "inexpensive" but in the sense of poor craftsmanship. I have rarely seen it otherwise. It will continue, of course, as long as people continue to patronize these products. There are choices.

    Would you reccomend the 2784 or 2792 for a Breitling Superocean Heritage 42 ? I bought mine on a rubber strap with a deployant clasp and while i like the clasp i regretted not getting the bracelet straight away. And apparently Staib maked Breitlings bracelets anyway.

    • @DavesWatchLove
      @DavesWatchLove 9 місяців тому

      I wear the 2792 with my Omega Seamaster 300. It's the more elegant of the two and would look great on the Breitling. If you want something a little thicker and heavier and more aggressive for your dive watch, a 20mm version of the 2784 would be a possibility. The two bracelets actually feel quite different. The extra millimeter of thickness makes a difference.

    Will be getting this too for my 8 inch wrist. The regular moonwatch is just a bit too small for a chronograph. For this type of watch I feel like it can be a bit bigger. And for me 44mm is pretty much the ideal size anyways. For most of the people its likely too big. This is a hard find these days too, was lucky to find one.

    I just purchased a 20 buck mesh identical to the WatchGecko model with oblique links and the angular clasp they sell for about $50. I'm 100% sure it's the same exact bracelet, as many have pointed out that WatchGecko has Chinese factories pump out many of their cheaper offerings as OTS straps with customized logos on the clasp. You pay about 60% more for the logo alone, and with WG being outside the EU you end up spending about €100 for a €40 strap. Embarrassing to say the least.
