Yeah. I thought it would be good to find out as the Corgeut has lots of colour ways and options...alas it was just too good to be true...but that's what I am here for. And yes Molly is just a little trouble maker! haha 😆

I wish Thorn would sign the crown with that superb logo (although I don't know what it is but it looks cool). Maybe a flower pattern.

She's had a tough time of it. She is only 3 and this time last year we thought we would lose her...she broke both of her hips, had them pinned... unsuccessfully but then had the hip ball sockets removed. It took 8 weeks in a cage and lots of tlc to bring her back. She is now almost totally mobile and can jump six feet. A wee trooper and my best buddy :)

Good to see Molly's well! The watch is not terrible but not great either. You get what you're paying here. What I like is the smile dial. What I don't like as much is the date window. I'm not asking for an NH38 for this money, but I could do without the date.

Molly! Yeah, I personally wouldn’t pick it up, but I think there is a place for these watches. There are a lot of people for whom 80/90 GBP is the limit of their budget for a watch. Thanks for the detailed review as always. Also, I was listening to the video on headphones and the construction / gardening didn’t really come through. Thanks again!

What an interesting dialect I must say. I am not a native English speakers myself. First time I hear Thorn being Sorn. May I ask where do you come from? I do hear a bit of UK English here but cannot understand what is this Interesting dial. That's a lovely review btw. I own a San Martin BB58 homage. Very similar cases, the bezel us different.

I wish Thorn and Corgeut would sign their crowns. I love the Corgeut "shield" logo. The Thorn logo is good also. Best logos on Ali by far. Obviously both mimic Tudor. Place them on the crown. Unsigned crowns cheapens the look of the watch IMO.

Yes, money is a concern of mine when considering watches, and I believe I can come up with a few more bills for a better watch. That being said, for the money, this is a great GADA watch. Stainless steel, ceramic bezel, sapphire crystal. For me, it is the perfect beater.

@@johnswatchjointyea, I quite fancy a BB58 homage in the new year... Would love for someone to do a decent FXD version as well I'd be willing to spend the money on a good quality BB58 though. Possibility of overtime at work, always makes these unnecessary purchases a lot easier to justify haha

Corgeut really skimps on the lume for their watches. I can confirm the same problem with their Rolex Explorer II homage, otherwise lovely watch, but lume goes dark after just a few minutes. Tandorio's SKX013 homage on the other hand has excellent lume. Oh well, it's hard to get a watch for $60-$70 that will be perfect in every detail.

I have had both and to me the Steinhart was the better watch, both in terms of quality and in terms of resale value. I got my money back on the Steinhart but lost quite a bit on the Clycine. The Glycine dial seemed very flat (or one - dimensional?) to me and I just didn't take to it. Hope this helps :)
