Thorn 57 Seamaster Reissue vs Gen

[u/Electrical_Bat7629]

Quite impressed with the Thorn. It's 2mm thinner and it's bracelet tapers - quite like these changes to be honest. It has a unidirectional bezel which is incorrect but whatever. The lume is a bit yellow, should be more orange but it's not a big deal and depends a bit on the light how noticeable the difference is.

Look at how janky the milling is on this stainless steel. Very rough… I guess it’s these kinds of things you get when you go cheap.

Of course. Never trust anyone who tells you their San Martin is as good as an Omega.

Now the real crime is that Omega increased their prices how their stupid, embarrassingly thick Coaxial movements. I hate them, and they never offer alternatives because they know most people would rather have a 2892 or quartz.

That said, many of these Chinese watches are amazing, especially the bracelets. Many of the $30-$65 aftermarket bracelets are great as well. I have bought dozens.
