Both are as stable, easy to use, and exhibit minimal back play. Bezel: In comparing the bezel action on both the Rolex and Ginault, I can’t find any discernible difference between the two. I do prefer the splash of color the red second hand adds to the black dial. mercedes but have become used to the legibility and personality of a different hand set. Hands: initially was put off by the use of a sword hour hand vs. Printing, clear and crisp on both (without getting into the “content”) Maxi indices balance out the dial IMHO better than the small indices on the Rolex. Dial: Surprisingly luxurious deep black enamel with applied indices with BGW9 lume. Superior compared to “tuna can” clasp standard on 5 digit sub. Clasp: well made although not as smooth as Rolex Glidelock (can be alleviated with lubricant). Bracelet: well made although brushing not as fine as Rolex upon close (20X mag) inspection) Bracelet integration: extremely precise (bracelet will also fit 5 digit Rolex? see below) Case finishing: brushed, polished, and chamfering done impeccably as is Rolex In comparing the Ocean-Rover 181070LSILN (No Date, Maxi Indices with BGW9 Lume, Black Bezel/Silver Index) with my 16610 V-series submariner from 2009 here are my thoughts: In many ways, it addresses a market niche that currently Rolex doesn’t provide namely a quality 5-digit sub diver with some unique twists. Of course that doesn’t exist and while modding a Seiko is fun, that’s something I definitely would not do to a Rolex. As far as the sub goes I often thought that the “ideal” sub would consist of the 5 digit case, with a “maxi” dial, a yacht master red second hand, and a glide lock clasp.
Having owned a Rolex 16750 GMT since purchasing new in 1986, and being gifted a new Rolex 16610 Submariner by my wife in 2009 I’ve always loved the 40mm classic aluminum bezeled Rolex’s. The following reflects my own experience and as they used to say in the old auto ads, “your mileage may vary”. The opinions expressed are solely my own, based on collecting various watches over the years from brands such as Seiko, Bulova, Omega, Rolex, etc. The purchase was based on reviews I had seen from others on this Forum and others. The Ocean Rover was purchased last April with only the advertised discount at that time. Ginault Ocean Rover 1810070LSILN Comparison with 16610 Rolex submarinerįirst of all, this is an unpaid review.
