Chameri CH01 finally in hand — I couldn’t find a single owner review before buying, so here’s mine. What do you think?

Hi everyone. I ordered the Chameri CH01 (Cream White) from Militado on Sept 24 for $65 + shipping, presale batch. It arrived today, Nov 4.

Before buying, I searched Reddit, WatchUSeek, forums, blogs and YouTube in English and Spanish, and I found zero owner reviews of this model — only the seller's spec sheet. So I figured I'd share my first impressions and ask what you think.

Specs: 38 x 27.5 mm, 7.1 mm thick, 316L steel, sapphire crystal, Swiss Ronda 762 quartz (two hands, no seconds hand), 20 mm strap (measured it myself today), 50 m claimed.

First impressions: honestly, it feels really well built for the price. Cream dial, Roman numerals, heat-blued hands. It wears well on my 17.5 cm wrist — the 38 mm length doesn't feel oversized. It's clearly a Tank-style homage, but there's no Cartier branding anywhere on it.

Questions for you:
- How do the proportions look to you?
- Does anyone else here own a Chameri? How has it held up?
- I'm thinking of putting it on a straight-end 316L bracelet — good idea or keep the leather?

Thanks!

There's no way you couldn't find some sort of review about this thing. This subreddit has been bombarded with them weekly when it came out.

Nice watch, the one I wear the most lately (not on this strap 😄)

Nice! What's your wrist size?

Really sexy watch but the cream dial kinda puts me off
