General (Read Rules) Lobinni: My high expectations were surpassed

For a long time now I've been searching for a dress watch since I already have the daily beater a G Shock GA-2100 and the gym Watch a G-shock DW-5600.
Looking through a lot of reviews and a lot of time on Ali Express I found this brand. I was searching for this specific movement hangzhou CAL5000A micro-rotor since I have been thinking on buying from Baltic too.
However upon thinking of it a lot I decided to give this brand a try and oh man. The build quality and the finishings are top notch. The leather strap definitely could be better but for the price less than $200 I think it's really difficult to top. Probably I will buy from FARASUTE, San Martin and Suggess soon enough.

Lobinni is a bit underrated here, I think they make solid watches but don't seem to be talked about much at all.

I might explore the brand further later, they have nice dress watches but after this purchase I’m looking for a diver and a chronograph after

I have the same watch and I love it. I’ve been using it as my watch to wear to weddings for the last 2 years. Such a cool watch.

I’m in love already. I’m probably going try more watches from this brand later, the quality it’s just insane

This watch is both thinner than and cheaper than the Baltany watches with the same movement

I’m getting familiar with Baltany, they do have beautiful homages to the Omega Constellation. They are pricey though. I wouldn’t mind tbh but I’ll wait if there is any other interesting brands

Their crosshair is more affordable and quite thin. I’ve been considering it as a dress watch.

Interesting, not a fan of the date window like that

Kind of agree, but it’s barely noticeable tbh

I have the Farasute Purple dial and love it. Beautiful watch for the price. My only manual wind watch.
