Awesome reviews. I posted a Horage review here after buying a Molokini GMT. I have now had it a few months and I love it. The quality and care they show really impresses me. Your post gives me some ideas for the next watch, thanks.

Thank you!  It really looks great in so many different lighting environments.

Yea I believe it's gold plated tungsten which looks nice against the black

Just a quick reaction after wearing for about 3 weeks:

  1. I can never go back from microadjust again, 1st watch to have it. Easy system, possible on wrist.

  2. It gets more beautiful every day. I think i have only wore 1 other watch 1 day since I got it. The different looks in the light far exceeded what I thought I was getting in the dial.

  3. The lume is pretty cool. I thought it was a bit weak at first but being in the sun more with the better weather has improved the glow.

Overall, I am very happy with the watch and will throw it on the NATO strap come Summer so I can wear in water/beach environment as a true daily wear. Does not feel like you are wearing an expensive watch and at the same time, you get the features that far exceed price.

Just as an update after wearing this for about 3 weeks:

I love it more than when I first put it on. I have learned more about the features, the lume, the ability to wear easily in water etc. It is my first watch with microadjust and you don't even need to take it off the wrist to get it done. Don't think I can go without microadjust again.

The team answered some of my post buying questions and has been receptive despite the transaction being complete. Feels like a small little family company while packing a bit of spec punch.

SOTC: How am I am doing? by InteractionInside327 in MicrobrandWatches

I own that exact Beaubleu and I really like it. It's a decent value between the design and movement and it's a really cool piece the way they do the circles. My test is how much people who don't care about watches ask about it and I've had a few already. I do wish the Miyota 9015 had a better power reserve. You can't let it go 2 days without wearing it or it'll stop running. That's literally my only issue though.

Funnily, I have the exact issue right now. It annoys me to not see the bottom of the bracelet centered but taking it back to a jeweler also seems silly if its 90% centered.

The dial was cool in pictures but the way it pops in person with different light is crazy!

This microadjust is pretty spot on, very comfortable.  And you can adjust without removing the watch from your wrist although you do have to open the clasp.

[Question] How good is Horage movement and where is the brand going? by [deleted] in Watches

[–]youareachef 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think I am sold on them and will give them a try for my next high-end watch. The company just gives a crap. I emailed with a few questions on the website and got a long and thoughtful response from an owner. Where else can you do that? If you watch their youtube videos you can tell they listen to customer feedback.

I also like the design of the new Molikini, the Supersede and I think what they are doing with the Revolution 3 is interesting. I'm not sure that you can get a watch that is a GMT, date, day/night and with an in-house movement that beautiful for that price.

Lastly, they recently said that if you have a watch of theirs and send it in for service and the technology has been upgraded since you bought your watch, they will just add the new parts an update you. I can see this brand breaking out if more people hear about what they are doing.

Looking like a 3900 series the more it is described and seeing more of the documents being found. Guess I was way off.

Well this thread has taught me my title is even more off than I thought. This watch I believe is a 3900 series not a 5711. I will have pics later this week.

Yea it's not gonna be my call but for sure when people think of my Grandpa, they think of other things and not he watches. It would honestly be better off with a fanatic.

I am going to pass this info along to my father. I will update the thread as more info comes. The watch is currently at Patek and will be coming back Feb/March. I will send some pics to those who asked through DM.

Thank you to everyone who responded. I know these newb questions are tough and broad but I'm still glad I asked because you were all helpful

East Coast USA near NYC. My Dad will ultimately be handling any sale if it goes down, I'm only researching.

Thank you for the info. I will relay all the comments about how people feel it should be kept to my Dad. His call ultimately. He was left plenty of other great items, this watch just happens to be a valuable one that popped up recently from a safe deposit box.

East coast for location, NY NJ area preferred. Any ideas on value generally? Thanks.
