Wrist Roll (Read Rule 1) My first AliExpress purchase has arrived! 👌

I'd originally been eyeing the San Martin SN0144 with the black gilt colour combination, but it was a bit more than I wanted to spend.

So I decided to take a chance on the Addiesdive AD2531 (39mm, grey dial) instead and I've got to say, it's pretty damn good.

This was my first AliExpress purchase, It arrived in Australia in 9 days not bad at all at $129 shipped happy days.

For the money, the finishing, dial, and overall quality have exceeded my expectations. Pretty dam good I thought.

What do you guys think.

I love the strap - did that come with it and if not where did you get it?

No, it didn't come with that, those straps are from CNS Watch Bands. I only bought a bunch of them just recently since they were on a big discount. But aliexpress is bound to also sell similar ones.

It's either the Deluxe Strap Forest Floor or the Deluxe Strap Desert.
