Any Ressence type 5 owners have experience they would like share?
Been recently intrigued by these . The uniqueness certainly caught my eye. First drawn to the type 3. The type 5 being perhaps more robust, as it is waterproof and ‘diveable’ seemed a plus.
Of course its unique oil filled display while lovely may make future service problematic if the relatively new company doesnt ‘stick around’?
Seems like some members here sell theirs after not too long, but maybe that is not the case?

Type 5 too big/chunky for me
The type 5 is definitely too big and chunky for my wrist. I also think the different/bigger numerals on the dial give to it a not so elegant look and feel. Here some comparison with the type 3. Another point I could never understand: since the oil can get...
The 3 indeed looks more elegant. Nice comparison shots.
At least for my large wrist, I think either size works
I fell in love with Ressence and their watches
And was lucky to own a Type 1 and 3, they are amazing watches, feel special, my 2 gripes, oil temp and they didn't give me the confidence they can take a knock or fall and not damage the movement or Crack the glass and all the oil drains out, as clumsy as...

No experience with a Type 3 or 5
Had a early type 1 for a few years. Fun watch and had it serviced too . Costs where like normal but then again it was not a 3 or 5 so maybe these are a bit higher in comparison to the 1 . I must admit it lost its fun part after a while and i started weari...
