Actually, i find that the Tisell is very good value for money. Built is good for the price you're paying for.

And it keeps pretty accurate time.

Its a bit too similar to my GMT and I have an SKX007 for daily beater. Very little wrist time for this Tisell

For the price it's good.

Movement, material, finishing decent.

Bracelet below average even if it's solid, not v well put together. Bezel is quite bad, very scratchy feeling. But for that price really can't hiam la.

While you wait... Rolex prices keep increasing...

Thanks. Roughly how much rolex price increases every year?

Great info here man. Thanks for sharing. I heard they use sapphire glass for their watches to make it more scratch resistant.

iirc Only top-end watches will use real sapphire crystals, due to the high cost.

nowadays, most are using Synthetic sapphire crystal glass for watches.

And as more and more companies have access to the technology and equipment to produce sapphire crystal glass, it's relatively easy to find sapphire glass on some low-end watches like Seiko, Citizen. Therefore, having sapphire glass isn't something to boast about today.

And if you look at the watch quantity Aries Gold is producing, they definitely has the economies of scale to purchase in bulk or even have the capabilities to produce Synthetic sapphire crystal glass in-house

But If you own a high end watch like Patek, AP (Not vintage), you would expect Sapphire glass to be standard.
