This Changes Everything! Shinola – The Mechanic 39mm Review

• Closing thoughts:
o On wrist – The retro cushion-case has a lovely profile that pops without feeling too tall or oversized
 Really well-balanced wearing overall
o Model Variants – Check site links in description for options and availability
o Comparable models – Compares well against something like a Fears Brunswick or Nomos Club in terms of providing a similar dressy yet informal everyday appeal
o Bottom-line – Shinola were clearly targeting the enthusiast market when they created The Mechanic line and I think they really nailed it, and as curious as I’ve been about their automatic diver’s, it’s this Mechanic line that really pulled me in
 The Mechanic has to be my favorite Shinola release to date and if it’s any indicator of where the brand is headed, then I could easily see more enthusiast focused models coming in the future

I love the design. Nicely done. I would buy this watch new for $500 in 2024

There have been several models of Shinola’s that I have liked but just can’t justify their prices. This particular watch is very nice looking and has great specs other than the price. Nice review as usual.

Thanks Mark. Good review. But not being a Tissot fan due to plastic parts & a cash grab servicing scam……I can still get a 4 hrtz Val Joux (7753?) caliber tri-compax mechanical chronograph for close to this money. Too much I think. I like its vibe but wow…….mighty proud of it…..

That is a very cool but retro style watch. The colour is such a deep, bottomless black - like peering into an inkwell. Thank you for sharing this.

Still not a fan of the brand. Pretty pricy for what it is IMHO. But ... they kinda move into the right direction I must say.
Once again ... outstanding video.

I really like it a lot, just priced double what I would like to pay for it.

We don't get Shinola in the UK. But this is a nice looking watch.

This is a lovely watch. Almost like a cross between a Radiomir and a field watch, while still looking original. Price is a bit steep though for a Shinola.

Shinola gets a bad wrap. They actually make pretty good watches. I had a brakeman. Now dont get me wrong they are overpriced. But get used.

50m is fine for eveyday use. The original 50m spec allowed for surface swimming and even Casio says you can surface swim with 50m. I can hear the comments, but what about the seals? Well if your 100m watch has busted seals its not less resistant. Its non-resitant

I like Shinola but for the most part are expensive and a brand that can be purchased in retailers like Macy's. But I haven't seen many reviewed. Thank you for showcasing. Hmmm interesting model.

I’d love to pick up one barely used for much cheaper. Perhaps eBay with no reserve. Let the market decide.

Very nice-looking watch...but the Price is Ludicrous!!

[bestboy]

beatuiful watch looks super retro but the price is a bit much

[Mystery_Man]

$1, 700 for that?? God bless America😂

[MegaRich]

A relatively new brand. Nice piece, only 50 meters. Way too expensive. Seems even more ridiculously priced than Seikos.

Nice to see AMZWATCH show a watch that can be afforded by almost anyone rather than these pieces costing thousands and thousands which are out of reach for so many.
