£14k IWC v £70 SS? Amazed at the finishing, case, dial, hands. Overall beautifully executed.

As a slim wrister myself, I really appreciate your reviews showing the watches on a 6.25 inch wrist. I think the flat profile and limited articulation of the links makes it look out of proportion on the smaller wrist but fine on the 7 inch.

I've seen this watch, but didn't give it much thought. This is much nicer looking than expected! Definitely one to consider. Thanks for the review!

Yup I got this one too and am very happy with it for the price.

Looks great, really like the brushing on the case and bezel and how slim the case is/how shallow the dial sits.

Great review. thank you for your time 👍🏻 i can't decide on a colour though.

I have this very watch in the same colour. It is excellent value for money. It does fit well on my 7 inch wrist and no issue at all with any bracelet articulation. No problems either with legibility as the colour choice pops on the dial. I would agree with everything said in this review. The bracelet edges on mine do have a few sharp edges which S&S need to sort out in going forward. Overall, after the IX&DAO version that costs around £200, the S&S version is the best bang for buck by a long way in my view. Other brands are using quartz movements - not mechanical.

Thank you for sharing! 🙂👍

I liked the visual of the dimensions on the video, great job on said watch.

Brilliant really detailed review.

Good find , great value.

Great channel. Many thanks, I’ve subscribed 🎉

Bracelet reminds also nautilus. Beautiful watch.

The battle between the xdao and this one would be epical

my ixdao engineer stopped working. have to ship back to ixdao on my own dime. probably around 50 bucks. to repair. would proably not have bought it at all in the first place.

Looks great

Between this.and.the xdao which one would you choose? Thanks

Thanks for reviewing 👍 I've seen this brand recently, and was intrigued. The bogus germanic name and low price made me assume the worst, but it looks like I was wrong.

I have two from Specht & Sohen ... not all pieces from them are good/great but there are some lovely good value options from them - this is one of them.

Interesting. Subscribed!

Is there chance for the review of the Spechy & Sohne that looks quite like A Lange Odysseus ?

Just be aware that when sizing the bracelet this uses split pins ... my first time doing one so was a bit fiddly. Not as bad as my Thorn BB homage with rivets (I am putting that off/procrastinating and cringing about doing that bracelet) but still fiddly.

Love this watch if you are watching this video and contemplating buying it. Just do it you wont be disappointed.

I hope they will improve that bracelet to have more articulation.

this is special, i'm not a fan of homage but this is hard to resist, and i just ordered a seiko cocktAil ....give me strength...

Possibly in a near future. Too many watches too little time 🙂

Sadly they changed the dial and you can't but that design anymore...

A good looking watch but I would want to wear it on a leather strap which, unfortunately, does not seem possible. Thanks for an informative video.

Thanks for watching!

6:28 - VERY GOOD QC - YOU CAN SEE A WHITE THREAD AT THE CENTER OF THE DIAL DAMN!!!!!!!!!!

this or ipose ixdao engineer????

Ive seen two friends buy this watch:one loves everything about it for the price while my other friend says its useless in every way, so ? Did he get a bad one ? Me personally even with the cheap price am not going to bet a fifty fifty that ill get a good one ..

Very disapointing they have only 50m WR, and not very sure if it´s real, if they had 100m WR I would really consider, I love the white dial one

I'm becoming a bit jaded with so many homages. Then again at least is not another boring Rolex homage.

Is this considered homage or a copy... I don't know the boundaries now...

Nice looking, but that watch does not fit your wrist imo.

This dial is better than the 600$ VSF rep dial 🤣🤣

Lol! Not as bad as 'Reef Tiger' though - another AliExpress brand with "Swiss" roots 🙂

The bracelet of this Ingenieur is so poorly engineered. I bought this same watch. It looks beautiful out of the box. It is accurate to 2 seconds per day. But the bracelet is a nightmare to resize. The bracelet is so rigid and not articulated that would fit fine on a salami, but on my 7 inch wrist I need to have it loose. Otherwise it fills like a tight handcuff on the size of my wrist. It probably fits fine on a very round wrist. The bracelet edges are so sharp I used a dremel tool to sand them down. Some pins got stuck and got bent pulling them out with pliers and a couple of pins split putting them back in. There are no markings/arrows that suggest the pins come out one way only. Probably several of the pin holes are unfinished and cause friction when pulling out the pins. It was so hard to resize, compared to the Citizen, Seestern, Addiesdive, Seiko bracelets I have resized in the past. The bracelet would look better with less taper. I wish this had regular 20mm lugs, or that the manufacturer would offer a rubber band for other options. The case could be one or 2 mm shorter, with the edges closer to the bezel. I like the dial a lot, the second hand counterbalance does not bother me as I thought from macro shots in reviews. I have the seestern 600T and the Citizen tsuyosa that have similar case and bracelet style. Their steel bands are so much more comfortable and easier to resize. Overall I like the watch. But I would like to have a band alternative. 20mm lugs would have allowed more options. For $66 usd is a nice watch. Gotta wear it a bit loose.

I bought this watch after watching this video. I have to say I'm a pretty disappointed. Overall I think the quality if fairly poor. For me the watch is too small. But my main issue is the bracelet. It is not good quality and the tapers too narrow. I wasn't able to size the bracelet to get a good fit. I regret buying it.

Like balancing a pie plate on my wrist. Not for me.

Nice but at the same time digusted, how does a business stand just coping others

Lug to Lug including bracelet is not acceptable

Remember he was measuring the outside of the bracelet, the actual fit inside will be minus 2 x the thickness of the bracelet links.

Thanks for the video. The link doesn't work by they way.

I hope they will improve that bracelet to have more articulation.
