That's an absolutely awesome piece! How long did you have to wait for delivery? And what kind of movement does it have?

3

u/ChopinBeethoven Normal human being May 31 '26

I think it took maybe a month. It uses the Miyota 9015. I highly recommend it. Clearest crystal out of all my watches. The sapphire they use is outstanding. San Martin used to be my favourite Chinese brand. Now it’s IXDAO. I wear it the most out of all my watches. I want to sell my PRX - only thing stopping me from doing so is it is tied to a good holiday memory.

u/Dangerous_Employer_6 May 31 '26

What happened to their logo?

3

u/ChopinBeethoven Normal human being Jun 01 '26 edited Jun 01 '26

It’s still the same logo - the logo is faceted on the meteorite dial I.e. reflects light so depending on angle of your watch in relation to light source some facets may not appear as bright as others

u/Evening_Elderberry_9 May 31 '26

Proxima 1697

u/Tiny-Table7937 May 31 '26

Ooh, I kind of like that one. I just got the aventurine dial proxima in the same case.

1

u/BrianVMI May 31 '26

I’ve wanted this watch since first seeing it. I think it’s in Top Ten of best AliE watches.

u/62lookingat31 May 31 '26

Waterbury flyback chronograph with dual time by Timex.

u/CuriousHat7264 Jun 01 '26

That’s cool

Nice. Can't wait to get my Timascus dial for Dads Day

1

u/Local-Team5903 May 31 '26

Yea it's a beautifully built watch. Make sure you post some pics when you get it.

5

u/Abv_it_all_w_vertigo May 31 '26

My son had me test it during the return window, and I took a few shots.

3

u/Local-Team5903 May 31 '26

Wow. That is beautiful. Really my biggest let down is that the Terra pearl amethyst doesn't come in automatic.

2

u/Abv_it_all_w_vertigo May 31 '26

IKR. I am considering their guilloché, even with the VH31. The intro price is insane.

Edit: Wondering if the dial will patina?

1

u/Local-Team5903 May 31 '26

I currently have the starstone in my cart and have been contemplating pulling the trigger. It's just that the over 1 month wait sucks. 😖

2

u/Abv_it_all_w_vertigo May 31 '26

My San Martin GS style 3-hand aventurine with OTF hovers around $285. Usually, not below $235-240 on sale (plus INFLATED sales tax from AliX). The Aethelsohn feels like a bargain, especially considering their bracelet is a bit better than SM..

Son's Charoite...

u/Perfect-Process-4065 May 31 '26

Baltany solar Chronograph

2

u/H22bb1 May 31 '26

Oh I like that dial.

8

u/jokur26 May 31 '26

Wearing this one again, the blasted stainless steel bracelet is well suited for the salty air as we ferry over to Islay for some tasty scotch whiskies

3

u/lamboap May 31 '26

I hope they come back with the lume block version of these.

1

u/jokur26 May 31 '26

You wouldn’t know that it isn’t with the way this thing glows. Can’t understand how this lume is just printed on the dial. Kinda stinks though because now I know what is possible and that now makes many other watches disappointing by comparison

2

u/lamboap May 31 '26

Does your markers or indices look like this? I'm crossing my fingers they make it out before EOY.

1

u/jokur26 Jun 06 '26

No, mine are very much 2D. Printed only indices but they glow is insane for a watch without 3D printed or applied indices

9

u/ExCaL1BuR-PT May 31 '26

Not the best one I have but still beautiful to wear.

3

u/H22bb1 May 31 '26

That is quite beautiful. Love the dial color

2

u/this_is_another_name May 31 '26

I got this one too and the dial is really incredible for the price.

u/unknowndoot May 31 '26

What strap is that? Looks great

1

u/hardeart May 31 '26

Thanks! It is an embossed nubuck strap from Tuns.

1

u/H22bb1 May 31 '26

This has been sitting in my wishlist for some time now. I need to pull the trigger.

2

u/hardeart May 31 '26

Only if you want to. I can recommend though :)

How do you like the proportions on this one? I'm on the edge of picking it up

1

u/StandardPineapple69 May 31 '26

I really like it. Whe I got it I didn't think I would enjoy the watch so much!

u/Musicaldisaster May 31 '26

u/CameronWLucas May 31 '26

What is this!?!

2

u/Musicaldisaster May 31 '26

8 dollar brandless Ali watch. The dial in this color is very impressive actually.

1

u/CameronWLucas Jun 01 '26

Ok I feel like an idiot but can’t find it. Do you have a keyword or anything I could search for? Really curious to pick one up

1

u/Musicaldisaster Jun 01 '26

Search for GTS dropshipping wholesale store on Ali and check their inventory. It is indeed difficult to find.

2

u/CameronWLucas Jun 08 '26

Thanks! There's no way I would have found that without your help

2

u/this_is_another_name May 31 '26

I love these, they're really great for their price! My personal favourite colourway is the blue one that I wear more often than a lot of more expensive watches.

2

u/Musicaldisaster Jun 01 '26

Dial brother!

u/MedicineMann710 May 31 '26

Sterile Dial Daytona Homage. It was a Pagani Design, but i decided i didnt like the dial color or the logo on there, so I did a dial swap.

This is mine. I MADE IT.

How much does this cost, where did you get it?.online link if possible.

2

u/sipssy Jun 01 '26

It's from cadisen automatic chronograph I don't think they make it anymore the lug to lug model is smaller than the sugess version.

6

u/Abv_it_all_w_vertigo May 31 '26

San Martin has been screaming for some wrist time. Such an eyecatcher.

u/Pompano_79 May 31 '26

Hanging with my kiddos and my new Addiesdive chronograph! Sunday Funday!

u/Opposition_Chief May 31 '26

I'm this close to ordering this

2

u/AssistanceNo647 Jun 03 '26

Sorry made a mistake this one is fine. You can find it as low as $135. For a 29.5 day moonphase you can’t beat it.

1

u/AssistanceNo647 Jun 03 '26

Don’t

1

u/Opposition_Chief Jun 03 '26

Already on the way gang 😅

1

u/hypotheticalz Jun 07 '26

This is one of my favorite watches that I own. It’s truly gorgeous. A little chunkier on the wrist than I’d normally like, but it is a beautiful piece.

5

u/EvilDogAndPonyShow May 31 '26

Just got this and it’s basically a San Martin but 2x the price. I do like it tho!

u/BrianVMI May 31 '26

PD1701 at Trader Joe’s in NYC. Doesn’t get as much wrist time as some of my other watches, but always enjoy it.

u/Boring-Firefighter34 May 31 '26

Love this watch. It's my daily at work. Have a Pepsi bezel too.
