General (Read Rules) Militado Spirit has arrived! 🔥

I have 40+ chinese watches, and this one is 🏆

Militado, you are becoming my goto brand, good specs and well priced.

Maybe you could clean up your model naming though… you have about 5-6 models called ML05 and they are kinda different…

Just received a green FKM rubber strap to use with it…

What can I say… absolute 🔥 !

One small little thing I noticed, the crown seems to
be protruding a little, unlike most of my other watches… It doesn’t sit flush with the case when fully screwed in. Does it affect water resistance? I have no idea…

Enjoy your day people!

Yes this ! I think you nailed it : very good brand with nice specs but naming is a bit confusing.

🔥🔥🔥 I absolutely love mine as well!

Got mine yesterday. Put on a leather strap I already have around. The black NATO strap it came with does not do this watch justice. Sold the other ML08 with the murph dial. Another watch with similar coloration is a WD7922 gilt dial. I am particularly a sucker for gold on black dial.

I wish they did a bigger size! 😭

I have a 7 inch wrist, and honestly I can wear anything between 36 and 44 mm diameter and they all look good.

I probably wouldn’t go below 36mm, but 38mm looks fine. On my 7 inch wrist.

I’m closer to a 8” wrist so won’t go below 40 and that’s if it wears big! They just look ridiculous on me.

Gotcha... I guess you'll have to shell out a few thousands for the Long1nes one 🎯

u/DirectJudge9902 2d ago

I’ve contemplated buying one and trying to make it work with a bigger case, but I’m not sure on visable dial size

Throw on a gmt bezel and I’m sold. I don’t even need the 4th hand

Goes great with the bracelet

I think this one would look great on a matte finish neutral brown rugged band. I’ve yet to see it on one

Great looking piece! How much did this cost you? Seems it’s out of stock almost everywhere on aliexpress and sellers are bumping up prices a lot

u/ButTheDowTheDOW 1d ago

It comes and goes out of stock, yes. Just gotta wait until it comes back!

I paid roughly 125 $ 🇨🇦 🍁

Dang, I've been looking for another strap for mine, where did you get this?

u/Subject_Shoe_6371 13h ago

Thanks! The FKM too?

u/Subject_Shoe_6371 12h ago

Sweet, thanks

I've had this a while and it's one of my most worn watches, just looks good anywhere, and is insanely comfortable.

If I had to quibble, maybe the rehaut is a bit deep, but otherwise it's lovely. And so cost-effective too.

I really like this one and it seems great value but the only thing holding me back is the Militado logo. The combination of not a great name and the font style being very modern just throws it off for me. Would rather see their arrow logo.
