Nice review its a stunning perfect grab and go …I am a fan of both cronos and san martin but prefer the cronos low key branding….I note your sotwc video and can relate to this …..the only swiss made watches i hold now are the original squale 30atmos with mercedes hands and an early CW trident GMT….i doubt i will ever buy another omega or rolex…..the quality coming out of china now is amazing….cronos….san martin….ironwatch and now baltany are really make watch fanatics like myself think much harder about the next addition to the collection….i think this piece may join it…great review once again

Personally I prefer a crystal similar to that on the SN-020 or the AD2112, but this bevel is intriguing. It’s good to know that they are using a 8215 with hacking. Lume is good, build quality is good. But too bad they don’t include enough links to fit a larger wrist like yours, also that they don’t use their glidelock clasp. Case shape looks good tho! I agree on the movemet. Overall, the AD2112 uses a NH38 and costs less, but Cronos' dial design is superior. This with a glidelock clasp and the miyota 9015… Thanks for the review! It was rather enjoyable.

This appears to be a nice compromise to the Rolie, they are hard to get. Your reviews are stellar. I remember in one of your reviews you sold your Rolex and "banked the money," always a smart move especially in this global economic down turn. I have a piece with the older 8125 movement which was considerably more expensive in a 1970s reissue. It is not a bad movement , if one knows what they are getting into. Yes the rotor is rather noisy if you are constantly twirling your wrist, say when brushing your teeth. Otherwise it is not too overpowering. My question is: is there a credible alternative to the bracelet for those who do not fancy the current bracelet, or perhaps a leather band of sorts? Many thanks for your hard work and love of watches. Kind regards!

I’ll second that. The L6016 is a much sleeker and finer (and close to the original) watch. The pagani feels clunky and out of proportion in comparison. The bezel is really thick and also high up from the dial. In addition the case is also thicker. Only thing negative about the cronos is the signature.

Could you drop a Miyota 9039 movement into this watch?
@watchreviews4k
6 ай бұрын
No Steve. The 9039 is essentially a low-hand height version of the 9015. Another difference between these two movements is that the 9039 is capable of being used in a slightly thinner case than the 9015. 9039 minimum case thickness: 8.25mm 9015 minimum case thickness: 8.6mm This has lead the watch community into thinking that the 9039 is a slimmer movement, but in fact they both have a height of 3.9mm tall. The reason the 9039 can fit in a thinner case is because the hands are lower than on the 9015: 9039 total hand stack height: 1750µ (1.75mm) 9015 total hand stack height: 2100µ (2.1mm) The 8215 and 8315 are interchangeable. The 9015 and 9039 are interchangeable. A 9039 won't fit a watch made for the 8315 as the dimensions are different. The movement holder ring is made to fit the 8315. Regards, #WR4K
