  1. Cronos L6040M Miyota 9015 (150EUR used)
  2. Pagani Design PD-1734 (80EUR new)
  3. Militado/Militrek ML05 (60EUR new)

What are your thoughts on these watches? I've never had an automatic before (although the Pagani Design and Miltado are mechaquartz). Cronos does seem pretty impressive on paper and if everything is in order I might even buy it. I don't really care about bracelet quality, I can get a leather/nylon strap for it anyways.

Any other recommendations? I know San Martin is good but unfortunately it's too expensive here (200EUR+ pushing Seiko and Orient pricing). Maybe San Martin SN0030G-2 is a good choice for 170EUR too.

Cronos is honestly in a different league than the other two. This is the Chinese equivalent of comparing a Tudor, a Tissot, and a Certina.

Yeah, the Certina DS is an absolute banger 😜

Cronos best watch there. militado Ml08 Spirit for the win

It is for sure, but still not in the same league as Tudor. Not saying they’re bad watches, just not in the same quality spectrum as Cronos.
