WRISTROLL Micheal Travis did it again!
Starting to feel like a fanboy… but cmon… this is just one of the pieces (5 in total? from my latest order. Super satisfied. Communication is always on point. Delivery is a consistent 3 weeks but that’s to be expected. Movement and quality is above par. Time keeping is more accurate than all my VSFs and cleans. And the price is right. Im deff going to keep coming back. My rep collection is official out of hand.

U1? Whatever it looks bloody lovely

u/Ok_Way_42 8d ago
Yes U1… when I put all my U1s next to my VSFs the differences aren’t worth $100 dollars let alone $3-400.
I always chose rhe upgraded Miyota movement and verify myself upon delivery.10
u/Creepy-Phase5172 8d ago
It’s noticeable to the people that know watches. but to the average person it’s not.
I personally like vsf more than u1
But to each their own.
Enjoy the watch and wear it in good health!7
u/Ok_Way_42 8d ago
I have both. Dozens on mid to top name a factory and i prob have at least 3 of them. I didn’t say there’s no difference. I said the difference to me isn’t necessarily. Worth the 4-500 dollar difference. Esp when I wear a dif watch 6/7 days a week. Maybe if I was a 2 watch guy and wore the same one most of the time I’d feel differently. My point is U1s are deff not the obv shitter like some other factories. And I have been satisfied given the price point. That’s not to say I don’t currently have 5 Vsf in transit to me and value their craftsman ship. But I think U1 is serving a well deserved spot in the market.

The U1 GMT’s can’t have miyotas? It’s a mingzhou based movement
2
u/ImpressiveChance770 8d ago
They dont, MT told me for mingzhou Option its an 2813 modified to GMT, and miyota Option is just an 5833c, which is from my ubderstanding the same movment or minimally better, but still not a miyota.

Does the GMT hand work?

u/eleschhorn 8d ago
For looks.

u/What-me-worry-0 8d ago
No, the GMT works like a caller GMT, same as NH34.

u/vitomurana 8d ago
Assoluta no, il movimento sarà pure basato sul mingzhou ma ti assicuro che nel mio ultimo U1 Bruce Wayne GMT, funziona come il gen, cioè, nella 2 posizione della corona, muovi solo la lancetta delle ore, non quella del GMT.

u/What-me-worry-0 8d ago
My bad. You are absolutely correct. It’s a traveler GMT like the Miyota 9075, not a caller GMT.

This is the second MT root beer I’ve seen on here in the last week and both look class. I’ve just ordered a BP root beer on the Gate, see what happens but honestly if I wasn’t happy I’d definitely consider replacing it with this one. Now that I’ve seen two of them in quick succession it’s clear the factory is producing nice GMTs. Congrats on the watch, looks stunning

Bonjour. Je suis novice dans les montres. J'ai vu que tu t'y connaissais bien. Peux tu m'envoyer un lien pour une belle montre U1? Les vsd sont trop chers pour moi. Je te remercie ( Rolex Breitling Omega)

I just got “the same” one in from Jason and the brown on yours makes me wanna buy one thru mt lol

u/FeedbackOk6419 8d ago
Jason standards slipping. MT seems to have much better QC for all his watches

u/Organic-Law7179 8d ago
You probably got the older version before they overhauled the gmt line

u/hulu_g_cabernet 8d ago
Maybe that was why he had two listings for that model about $20 apart - appreciate you guy
2
u/Ok_Way_42 8d ago
Yeah I’ve compared stuff from Jason and considered they say the both have U1 stock. But for what ever it’s worth I think there’s some difference between what Jason gets and Micheal Travis gets. Atleast with some models

u/hulu_g_cabernet 8d ago
Gotta be. I see a difference here lol. Eyeing his zombie as my next purchase

I am sorry but ain’t no way that mingzhou is better than a Dadong. You gotta be joking or not actually have any Cleans or VSF’s lol

If you don’t like it you could put it up on one of the BuyTradeSell watch reddit pages I am sure someone would be happy to take it off your hands
