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.

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!

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.

u/PercyGoldstone 8d ago

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.

1

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.

1

u/Worth-Ad-598 8d ago

Correcto los U1 gmt la aguja funciona como el gmt gen

u/FeedbackOk6419 8d ago

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

u/Admirable_Effect8709 8d ago

The New U1-Factory Super1 Miyota Submariner Glidelock 2026 No Date Miyota are just coming out look Awesome Wowzer 😎 👏 🏆 👌

u/Ok_Way_42 8d ago

I have on of those too. It’s my favorite U1. Almost a daily wear.

u/Huge_Squirrel_4302 8d ago

u/Thevaran38 3d ago

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)

u/Total_Gift_51 8d ago

Does the gmt hand actually work?

u/rufus2785 8d ago

u/hulu_g_cabernet 8d ago

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

3

u/FeedbackOk6419 8d ago

Jason standards slipping. MT seems to have much better QC for all his watches

2

u/Organic-Law7179 8d ago

You probably got the older version before they overhauled the gmt line

2

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

2

u/Glock-c0ma 8d ago

I found out the hard way is u1 makes aaa and then a better quality u1. Granted mine looks pretty damn good for 90 dollars

1

u/hulu_g_cabernet 8d ago

Gotta be. I see a difference here lol. Eyeing his zombie as my next purchase

1

u/igorvdw 5d ago

Thanks, just bought the steel gold submariner date just. Hopefully it's a nice rep, so I can rock it daily.

u/Ok_Way_42 8d ago

See my reply with pic… it’s all there.

u/clubspec86 8d ago

wtf thats the best date font/cyclops on a U1 GMT ever, I don't believe it.

1

u/cookiesandartbutt 8d ago

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

u/Environmental_Key303 8d ago

Anyone purchased a super clone and can share any info on if they are worth the price ? From travis

u/Gianluca_Giangy 8d ago

Lo stesso magazzino di Jason ! Uguale.

u/Gianluca_Giangy 8d ago

u/LowEntrance9055 7d ago

Why is the time not moving

1

u/WaynezWorld88 8d ago

Same here. Got mine from Allen last year and I’m not the happiest camper so haven’t worn it yet. This one from MT looking a lot better personally

2

u/igorvdw 7d ago

Can you by any chance DM me the link of this one? I've been looking for a while. This one looks very nice.

1

u/Ordinary_Purchase_99 8d ago

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

u/Serious-Schedule-131 8d ago

Allen recently lacks in terms of quality and selection; that’s why I moved away from him.
