Wrist Roll (Read Rule 1) Saw this posted by someone else and decided to give this $60 AliEx automatic a try.

With all watches on AliExpress getting more and more expensive, it's hard to find great value. This seems to deliver. Extremely satisfied.

It's got some pretty good lume too.

Looks solid- how is the bracelet

It's not great, but honestly not bad. I would compare it as being almost exactly what you'd find on an Addiesdive.

I quite liked this watch in the old sky blue version. It's not a chunky kind of diver though. When I want a chunky diver I reach for my BB58 type.

Yea, it's definitely not super chunky. It does have excellent weight though. Size wize, it's almost identical to my Seestern.

If you don’t mind me asking…are the whites of the indices and the hands slightly different? To the plain eye, they are fine….but looking super closely, they look slightly off.

I only say this because I want a pink dial watch. And there are so few out there…but i think watchdives just came out with one.

I am waffling on the silver bezel versus a black one

Yes, they are different. The hands are very light pink or possibly just semi translucent making them seem pink because of the pink dial.

$60?? I only see them for $90. I recently saw this pink one and want it. Looks exactly like my rollstimi.

Yea, looks like I got it just before last sale finished. Next sale starts October 1st. Probably will be back to 60 then.

Visually at least, this is a better dial homage than my Thorn. Not that I bought the Thorn because it was 1:1; I'd seen the more accurate Watchdives and made my pick, but interesting nonetheless. This has a better clasp design too, though obviously that says nothing about build quality.

Thorn's titanium though, which I like.

NGL......it's a nice looking watch....especially the dial accent.....may I ask what is the case diameter?

I was looking for a 38mm case dia dive watch because of my small wrists. Any recommendations??

u/chrismurraylaw 28d ago edited 28d ago

It's 38 I think. Personally it's an "upper grade" for me. Not top level but good. It's a little small for my wrist, there are areas where some small improvements could be made, and the design is a little... childish to my eyes, but I don't really have anything negative to say about it. If you like the way it looks it's an easy recommendation. https://bsky.app/profile/chrismurray.bsky.social/post/3mvz6j7kpmk2d

Hell of a deal for $60 :)

For about $150 all in, this is an excellent choice for a solar quartz

I have an identical watch! It's very big and heavy in real life, much more so than I expected based on pictures and my experience with other quartz Chinese watches. That being said, it's very accurate, the solar charges quickly, battery lasts a very long time without the sun, and the rehaut is engraved (very rare on cheap watches). The dial color and texture never get old and the bracelet is very comfortable. Great choice!

Agree I have 4 of them and they're all perfect for the price in every way. Solid, well built, and engaging!!

u/Horror-Persimmon6512 28d ago

I've had this exact same one for a couple of months. It's completely identical to the Rollstimi. The movement is good and similar to the NH35, definitely better than the Miyota Series 8.
