New Serica 6190

Post by ezcheese » Tue Mar 05, 2024 6:21 am

Just got this in. Pretty cool. I opted for the cali dial, there are a few to choose from.
It uses the Soprod M100, which hopefully performs better than the previous Soprod they were using.
These all get COSC certified now as an attempt to QC these movements before they hit the streets.
We'll see how this one performs.

The case size is 37.7mm with a thickness of 10.4mm. It wears a little bigger than those numbers would suggest, probably because of the bezel design. It's rather svelte on the bonk lip bracelet, which is super light. I like that tiny adjustments can be made with this bracelet design.

Herer are a few quick & dirties:

It's about as comfortable as a metal bracelet can get I imagine. It's extremely light, allows plenty of ventilation to your wrist and since each link is so small, the level of adjustment lets you dial in a perfect fit. 💯

Looks great. The size scared me off, but it doesn’t look small on you.

Honestly looks beyond cool Derek, man oh man ! :excited: :headbang:

These have such a fantastic way about them because they feel vintage,
yet look as modern as can be. 8-) And what’s great is the watch seems
to be a combination of the styles we all like too. With it feeling like a
dive watch thanks to the hands, markings, as well as case. But then
there’s an aviation feel thanks to the triangle marker, and the crazy
cool California dial. :) Boy oh boy, that is a beautiful combination,
and the watch even is dressy also at the end of the day. It’s a best
if all worlds watch really.

Just the bracelet is a highlight to tell the truth, wow ! ..Serica makes
some wonderful watches Derek. ..A SUPER Serica congrats there sir !!!

Serica makes some nice looking pieces, but I'd never buy one direct from the company due to the reports of how they handled customer service following widespread issues with their 5303 watch.

Yeah I read a little about that. What is it with these French companies (Yema too) and bad customer service? :whistle:

It is pretty small on my wrist. I’ll take a few more pics of it.
But my wrist is 7.75”

It does wear closer to a 39 than its 37.7mm specs would indicate though.

Never been a cali dial fan but actually think this looks pretty sharp!

Has cool vintage vibes. Congrats and some afraid of 37mm watches try it and you will discover it's not bad. A lot of my vintage is that size.

I’m waiting for his reviews to take place on deck of his yacht. He’s wearing a speedo, talking in a French accent and explaining why Timothee Chalamet should be the new Jame Bonds.
