Bro u should!

Everything about it is good! Down to the strap!

True story brah. Almost whacked the Mt Fuji

That SRPA21J1 has sapphire crystal instead of hardlex?

unlikely, should be the same going by previous models.

however this time the J version was kept under wraps until now...very secretive... so who knows if there are any differences.

Thanks for sharing bro! Been looking at several micro brands such as Magrette that uses the Miyota 9015 but never pulled the trigger. Always distracted by other watches....like the PADI.

Quality is good in relation to price. Finishing is better than my Seiko PADI.
My Miyota 9015 is comparable to the Seiko PADI's 6r15 in terms of precision and accuracy. Movement finishing, not so sure cos never open case back. However when it comes to winding the watch, my Seiko PADI gives a more solid feel than the Magrette Dual Time.

It's a reboot of the v1, which has the nicest design. Everything unchanged, but now hacking and hand winding for those who care about it.. and they changed "water resist" to "water resistant", though I think "Automatic" may be better choice.

Magrette is a solid microbrand - service and quality both top notch.
The workhorse 9015 also no problem- widely expected to replace ETA role as the common auto movement.

SAS is also another you can consider for a similar style.

Oh bro thanks for info. The v4 had upsize the case by 1mm for new movement. Thought it will be required too.

So many watches too little money

Yes, I'm also surprised that they needed to increase case size to 41.5mm for V4 but not for V1 2nd Gen.

Thanks for chipping in on this. SAS watches seems nice too but just a tad more expensive than Magrette. I guess that's reasonable considering they use ETA movements.

I think Miyota/Seiko NH movements has filled the void as the common movement used for micro brand watches. For mainstream brands, I would say that Sellita plays that role.

If I'm in a fight with no weapons and a emperor tuna on my wrist, I'll take it off and use as a knuckle duster

Is it a soon to be release watch? Looks cool. Handwind and auto.

Release already in US..

Don't know when it will hit here. But judging from the comparative price on Orient Watch USA, it will be more pricey than the old version of course.

Perhaps $220 thereabouts?

MAGRETTE的錶款賣價不受機芯成本多寡而受影响。MARGRETTE也有一些錶款比SAS军錶来得贵。。。尤其是那些錶壳有特意雕刻的，更是贵上一两倍。
SAS公司毕竟是英国注册公司，虽然是小品牌，但是多数英国公司产品标價都往往比欧洲其它国家产品来得高一些。其次就轮到法国了。

在众多英国鍾錶小品牌当中，最为经济实惠，又物有所值的也许就只有PRECISTA了。。。
