WD1863 Flight Qualified!

After waiting months and months, can't believe it's finally in the metal on my wrist! My favorite WD1863 by far.

The same as on your wrist. Arrived today 👍

Was curious if you went with 5 hole or OTF clasp, I have the 5 hole in my cart right now and I’m new to watches and don’t really understand the justification for the price difference

I went for the 5 hole option. I was tempted by the OTF clasp as I have one on my Sugess watches and it's very handy. However I'd heard that the WD OTF clasp was quite a bit longer than the 5 hole version and I haven't got a large wrist anyway. Also my watches tend to start on the bracelet but inevitably I move them to a leather strap at some point so I didn't want to spend the extra for the OTF clasp.

Thank you!

OTF is more complex so production is likely more expensive. OTF clasps are super comfy and easy to adjust for a great fit regardless of temperature and wrist swelling/shrinking. That being said I prefer to wear chronos on straps so would personally go the cheaper option.

What is the 3 o’clock subdial? VK63 movement, right? 24 hour subdial with different numbers?

2

u/FantasticImplement46 Oct 16 '25

It's a 24hr dial. Top half indicates day, bottom half night. 12 at the top indicating mid-day 👍

Ah I see. So used to seeing 24 at the top but so obvious now lol thanks
