I tried one on when I was in Nice. Where do I send it in the states for maintenance? If there is no one in the states who can maintain this movement, is it safe to ship it directly to Pequignet for maintenance?
I tried some on today and they wear really well (on my 7in wrist)- I think it’s always important to try watches on rather than go purely by measurements as the skx009 and 45mm sumo are bigger than a Speedmaster but both wear better due to case shape/design (in my opinion)
Rene, it's the worst watch website I've ever been to, and most watch websites are terrible to begin with. One trick to use is to click on their search icon (🔎) and enter the model name. The Equus (while not Calibre Royal) is and interesting line ... the Regulator has a Seiko-based movement, and at a very good price. Take care, Bill
The green Rue Royale looks great and has 100m water resistance at 12.3mm thick, with 88 hours of power reserve. It’s hard to find quality, dressier watches that have 100m water resistance that aren’t an OP.
Great find. Love it when you find these random watchmakers at reasonable prices!!
Lovely brand! My favorites are the Royale Manuelle and the Paris Royale.
I'm seriously considering one of the Manuelle... I mean a movement by engineers from Greubel Forsey? That would be sweet, Gilberto! Take care, Bill
Now this is a brand I know really really well😉👍 Obviously the Rue Royale is my favourite. Greetz Jurre
Mayday, do you own the Rue Royale? Or is that the one you'd most like to get? Take care, Bill
Like I said before: I always learn something new from your videos. Well done Bill!
Hey Erik, thanks man! Take care, Bill
Yet another brand that I’d never hear of before. You are truly the Sherlock Holmes of the horological world. Thanks for another great video Bill.
Hey Bruce, thanks man! After all, I didn't know about the 'Blusey' until you told me about it! Take care, Bill
Great tip, i'll buy the Equus régulateur.
It's fun to add a regulator to your collection, Pardid! Take care, Bill
Thanks Bill knew these watches would draw a lot of attention from , people who don’t need to spend big money , and gets great movement that you like 👍
The best place to find great deal and watches, John, is where not everyone else is looking... Take care, Bill

Jonard, you'd have to find a watchmaker who can handle them. Check out some Pequignet online Forums. Take care, Bill

I see no reason it would be a problem to send it to Pequignet directly. Take care, Bill
Saw this brand in Luxembourg a few years ago. French watchmaking tends to be underrated/neglected on YT, so thanks Bill.
My pleasure FM! Take care, Bill
I am considering the royale. But is there support in the US if it needs servicing.
Check directly with Pequignet and ask, Dennis. Or go the a FB page the celebrates P. Take care, Bill
Never knew this brand Bill. Looking into it! Thank you. I am a 38mm-40mm watch guy though.
Nice video mate 🌴🏄🏻♂️🥃🇺🇸
I'm always rooting around like a pig digging for truffles, Tim, and look at anything I dig up! Take care, Bill
As always, thank you for another brand I didn't know about! :)
It's fun learning about brands with their own quality movements, Javi. Take care, Bill
Hi bill! have you seen the new "monolithic oscilator" by frederique constant, it substitutes the balance spring. it vibrates at 288,000 bph
I'm sure it's accurate with a near-quartz frequency, Mijo, but I haven't had a chance to look at it yet. Take care, Bill
Nice video, what about Yema?
Your wish is my command, Andres ... here you go: th-cam.com/video/c3fBu_4MqT8/w-d-xo.html Take care, Bill
I wish they made a watch in a size I could wear, 42 for a "dress" watch is just too big. Cool watches though, thanks Bill!
I noticed that too Nefarion! Tooooo big! Take care, Bill

nice shirt!
I got it a few years ago in Prague when we visited the Mucha Museum ... Art Nouveau at it's best, QA! Take care, Bill
A day-date automatic watch with 88 hours pr and pr indicator is awesome.
Hey Pro, that is pretty cool! I'd be interested in springing for one of the hand-wound Caliber Royals... Take care, Bill
@@watchartsci Thanks for introducing the nice watches. You stay safe too.
Not known to me before. I like the Royal Titane, but at 44mm, it's too big for me.
Yeah, Rog, a lot of their watches are big. Take care, Bill
They get ZERO points for their website - clicking on a(ny) watch results in "Sorry for the inconvenience.
Search again what you are looking for" :-)

Ced, I had not thought of the water resistance but you are right about the Rue Royale. Good point! Take care, Bill
Pronounced "Peq-in-yay"
Hey Trooth, thanks man! Take care, Bill
