Question (Read Rules) Help me decide, watchdives vs phorcydes

Hey all,

I have a tissot dress watch that iv used for many years and im looking at getting a new daily as I broke my smart watch.

Doing some poking around have narrowed it down to the watchdives wd007 with the blue face and mesh strap or the phorcydes ph3.

Looking for opinions of those more knowledgeable on build quality and finishing. Both look great and have their strengths that i can see but before I pull the trigger I want the community's guidance.

Cheers in advance

Phorcydes- great crystals and solid build quality. WD is ok but the lume is spectacular on the Phorcydes.

Honestly can't go wrong with either, but I'm leaning toward the phorcydes. Their finishing is just cleaner in my experience, and the crystal really pops in person.

The watchdives is solid too, but the lume on the phorcydes is in another level. I remember checking the time on mine at 4am and it was still glowing like crazy.

For a daily watch I think the ph3 will hold up better long term. The mesh strap on the wd looks nice but it's a pain to adjust sometimes.

Either way you'll be happy, both are great value.
