Hi John,

 

I’ve now had chance to handle and drool over my new OR2 watch. My first impressions were, “this watch is a work of art”, definitely worth the wait to receive it. Your pictures of the watch don’t do it justice, it’s much better in your hand, the colour of the new bezel is magnificent, it certainly changes colour in the light when you present it at different angles. The dial has a nice sharpness to it, extremely clear to read, as for the stainless steel items, they have a silky smooth feel to them, which is outstanding.

 

The attention to detail on the watch is second to none, the tolerances on the fitting of the bracelet to the watch case lugs is superb. My view to potential new customers who are considering purchasing a submariner style sports dive watch. Forget the large expense of approx. £9000 - £10,000 for that famous name brand watch, don’t waste your money, save yourself about £8000 -£9000 and get a Ginault OR2.

 

In my opinion this watch is built better and is of a better quality and finished off to a higher standard. In addition, the Sellita SW200-1 Swiss movement adjusted by Ginault and certification card issued recording the watches accuracy and performance over the weeks previous to its delivery to you, is confirmation of the attention to detail paid to each watch that Ginault build. “Craftmanship to the highest standard without a doubt.”

 

One thing, as an observation only , and a finishing touch to the OR2 package. I would suggest including a silicone rubber watch case & bracelet clasp protectors with each order, the approx. cost of these items are about £4.00-£5.00 for both, just a nice finish for customers. I’ve taken a couple of pictures of my new OR2, including the watch and clasp protectors to show how this looks on the watch.

 

John, “the watch is stunning”, can’t praise it enough, well done to you and the Ginault watch team.

 

Kindest Regards

The watch is very original in the fact you use different ref. from the sub over the years, which is brilliant. I am a registered Royal Yacht association Yacht Master Coastal. The red seconds hand ref. from the Rolex Yacht master is such a cool factor for me. This watch purchase is a celebration to my family moving to the ocean in the UK after being in London since our move from South Africa 5 years ago, We Will be in Bournemouth UK next week. I will definitely be roving the ocean with this watch!  

Thank You!

Dear John and Ginault staff:

 

I’ve been meaning to write, regarding the quality of the Ocean Rover, which I now have had for more than 1 year.  I am not a watch collector, but use the Rover as my daily watch, which typically gets in the salt water 2-4 times per week.  Reading the dial underwater is so crisp and clear.  The accuracy is just incredible, as I have long ago stopped by bi-weekly re-check on U.S. Dept. of Commerce / National Institute of Standards & Technology official internet time clock.  The additional “bonus” that I was not expecting was the quality and style of the watchband – again, just incredible engineering.  It has never open unexpectedly, snagged on anything and is perfectly flush. 

 

The dial lighting is cool too, but doesn’t always stay lit for long periods, but really is not big deal.  However,  did you ever consider referring to the color as “bioluminescence” rather than “smurf” as the dial really does resemble the bioluminescent neon waves when they hit?

 

Please give my best regards to the staff and all involved in putting the watch together, as it is really quality piece and should be extremely proud of the work.

 

Thanks again;  be well and safe.

 

Cordially,
