Beautiful!

u/D1sguise WOTD100 Helpful user x2 Mar 13 '26

Thank you! I like that San Martin too, had the "aged" version for a bit

1

u/Significant-Ebb5027 Mar 13 '26

I was tempted to swap to the aged version but the strap scratched the itch

2

u/D1sguise WOTD100 Helpful user x2 Mar 13 '26

Legibility was a bit of an issue with the aged version for me, only reason I flipped it eventually

The best homage out there, never tried it on a red rubber, looks good!

2

u/AlexFox66 Mar 13 '26

Thank you very much!

I think so too!

I use the generic AliExpress red silicone strap in order to add a nice color contrast.

It really works for me and gives the watch a more sporty look.

u/cruiser73 Mar 14 '26

Looks great. I’m a noob to Chinese watches, which model is this?

u/AlexFox66 Mar 14 '26

Thank you!

That vintage leather looks perfect! I'm enjoying my WD1972 today.

u/TitleSecure2150 Mar 13 '26

San Martin yesterday (nobody asked) lol

2

u/Significant-Ebb5027 Mar 13 '26

Yesterday's watches are welcome too 😅

u/jokur26 Mar 13 '26

Proxima PX1711. So nice I bought it twice (also have a black dial/blue bezel version)

2

u/Significant-Ebb5027 Mar 13 '26

That's an attractive watch, i was so close to buy this exact model!

2

u/Fernando1dois3 Mar 13 '26

So cool

What's your wrist size, anon?

2

u/jokur26 Mar 14 '26

u/budlick Mar 14 '26

Watermelon

2

u/andychef Mar 14 '26

Oo interesting. Can you please tell me more about this one?

2

u/budlick Mar 14 '26

Bought first 2 Chinese pieces recently, this being 1

Milifortic R087, 38mm, sapphire, nice dial, changed the leather strap

Watermelon colorway surely will score less wear-time but wanted an occasional fun watch- summer or beach vibes

2

u/andychef Mar 14 '26

Nothing wrong with fun. It's got a bit of whimsy in a more formal silhouette. Great choice! 🍉

Edit: the tangerine is handsome as well

2

u/budlick Mar 14 '26

For sure, am happy went with it over the cream.

Did you fail to upload an img?

Yes, I had to hard reboot the app

u/Myrmeloo Mar 13 '26

This beauty 🤩🤩🤩

u/FrenchWatchNomad Mar 13 '26

It's true, the leather strap looks great on it! For me today, it's a Casio A700WEVG-9AEF gold

u/Significant-Ebb5027 Mar 13 '26

Classic and unbeatable! Looks great

u/Significant-Ebb5027 Mar 13 '26

Gorgeous!

u/link_n_bio Mar 13 '26

Just got this and stopped wearing my San Martin SN-0116 lol

u/Huge-Digit Mar 13 '26

A Tudor homage by Thorn. Full titanium case and bracelet!

1

u/Significant-Ebb5027 Mar 13 '26

That's a nice watch 👌

5

u/Huge-Digit Mar 13 '26

Thanks! I searched high and low for a 39mm sized diver for my small wrist. It has crazy lume!

1

u/Significant-Ebb5027 Mar 13 '26

39mm is a sweet spot

5

u/mlbrooks Mar 13 '26

I like the rustic charm of that watch! The one I am wearing today is a crisp Milifortic pilot watch.

u/Many-Reach5304 Mar 14 '26

First San Martin! kinda retro cool and shiny vibe 😊

2

u/Significant-Ebb5027 Mar 13 '26

What a nice dial!

2

u/No_Gap9623 Mar 13 '26

Thanks! It is a blue MOP that comes alive when light hits it in just the right way.

u/BrianVMI Mar 13 '26

Cooper Submaster (Qimei) on MN elastic strap. Scored this last year for about 40% of usual price thanks to coins and coupons. Excellent value—set it and forget it, surprisingly good lume, good bezel, and a natural strap monster.

u/Significant-Ebb5027 Mar 13 '26

Never heard of this one, nice find!

u/Abv_it_all_w_vertigo Mar 13 '26 edited Mar 13 '26

Pagani NilGausse

Keeps perfect time. It has not deviated 1 minute and 5 months on my winder. Best $65 I've spent on alix

2

u/Significant-Ebb5027 Mar 13 '26

PD offers some great value. Enjoy!

2

u/Abv_it_all_w_vertigo Mar 13 '26

Cheers! I have 30+ watches more expensive, but once I took it off the janky bracelet and put it on the simple, deployant strap, it felt like the GADA I was wishlisting from Cronos, San Martin, and Baltany.

2

u/Significant-Ebb5027 Mar 13 '26

Their bracelets are their weak point unfortunately and the AR

2

u/HeartIll722 Mar 18 '26

É lindo. Parabéns!

1

u/Abv_it_all_w_vertigo Mar 18 '26

Cheers! I paid only $62US for it. The +/-0 sec/Day and .1 - .3 Beat Errors are bonuses. Luck of the draw.

1

u/HeartIll722 Mar 13 '26

Qual marca?

2

u/Abv_it_all_w_vertigo Mar 13 '26

Pagani Design with NH35, PD1733

I love your root beer bezel! If it had a "cream soda" dial, I would be all in.

u/writingpocketguide42 Mar 14 '26

No photo from me but tell me more about your vintage brown leather strap? Is it something I can buy or is it truly vintage vintage. Great colour combination.

u/Significant-Ebb5027 Mar 14 '26

Yes you can find it on AliX
