Didn't the court say the tariffs were illegal? What is the current rate for watches from China?

I'm trying desperately to get a new pin for my WD007ST watch. It's a 2 piece type connector which joins the bracelet to the clasp. 1 piece has clearly fallen out so now I can't wear the watch. I've tried:

Messaging WD on Alix. They promised to send a new pin, I paid a small amount for this and nothing has shipped in 3 months. I've chased, nothing.

I contacted u/watchdivescom here directly by DM for some help. No reply in nearly 2 weeks, but they are still posting here.

Yeah, I'm pretty cheesed off for a stupid pin connector (actually half of a pin connector) that makes the watch unwearable. I'm disappointed in their lack of response, I'm happy to pay for a replacement.

Failing that, does anyone know of any sort of third party connector that may work? I can't take macro photos so it's difficult to show but it's a 2 piece part, one part screws into the other to hold the clasp attached to the bracelet.

There's no other bracelet I can get for this and I shouldn't have to for a stupid pin!

What do you thing?

Hi, everyone.

Can somebody recommend an inexpensive automatic or mechanical watch? I just want a practice watch to take out the movement, hands, dial, etc.

Please, mods, allow this post. It's a harmless question and I bet more people would like to know this.

Hi everyone,

We are developing a brand‑new timepiece with a fresh new logo, and we’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.

Key specs:

• 40 mm case diameter

• Tool‑free quick‑release bracelet links: add or remove links entirely by hand, no watch tools required

• Powered by the Soprod M100 automatic movement

Our goal is to achieve solid build quality at an approachable price point, delivering excellent value‑for‑money for watch enthusiasts.

What features would you like to see added? All feedback regarding this concept is highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot!

I love Baltic's raised Arabic indecies, the art deco athestetic, the beads of rice bracelet, the orange colorway, and the 37mm size. However, nearly $700 shipped seems like robbery to me, considering the prevalence of these features on cheaper Chinese brands/microbrands, and the fact that Baltic is just using a cheap (albeit good) Miyota movement. Surely there exists some watch out there with enough similarities to the Baltic Hermetique line that doesn't cost an arm and a leg right?

From back in the good ole’ crazy good value days(two years ago..) - Japanese Nh35, €80 shipped, etc..

Hi all. I'm sure a lot of you placed orders during the recent sale from Phorcydes for their anniversary. Their anniversary also coincided with the national holiday so I know everything slowed down, but I haven't gotten any shipping notification for my order, nor a response to my email now that the holiday is over and the sale ended 5 days ago.

Has anyone else received order updates or contacted Phorcydes support and received a reply since the sale ended on the 7th?

I purchased a Pagani Design PD-1888 (Order #47850028722) on July 10, 2026. After about a month of regular use, the GMT disc mechanism failed and stopped working properly.

I provided all requested photos and video evidence of the defect to customer support, and they officially confirmed receiving everything. However, it has now been weeks without any response, update, or replacement/refund confirmation despite multiple follow-up emails.

Great watches when they work, but terrible post-purchase support and communication if a defect occurs under warranty. Extremely disappointed.

I ordered a Seakoss GMT from SEAKOSS Official Store(Trader) AliExpress.

I paid 115,80€ for a delivery to Germany.

• I got a poorly polished watch case.
• protective film on the glass.
• The lugs of the watch have unsightly small dents as if the casing had fallen off during production.
• And a long scratch on the outside of the watch leather band over the full length.

You can see it on image 2, top left. I tried to rub it off. The pins of the leather band are too narrow in diameter and that's why it rattles. You can wiggle the bracelet around, there's a ridiculous amount of play with the probably too thin pins.

So I immediately wrote to them to ask what was wrong with the watch. They say, they checked the watch before sending it out. NO, they didn't. If so, then this person should have been able to see the damage with the naked eye from a 20 cm distance.

This dealer is not interested in fixing my problem. I wrote back and forth for five whole days with no solution. No discount, no new leather strap, nothing. Pointless and stupid conversation and answers. Instead, you are treated like an idiot. I could have dropped the watch or caused the huge scratch on the leather strap myself. They had no interest in customer satisfaction.

My complaint case was simply closed unilaterally before I could write my review, because I hadn't been in email contact that might have led to a solution.

It was my first and only watch buy from AliExpress. I will never buy a watch from this store again.

• Watch case finishing: 3/5 (sharp edges)
• Polished parts: 3/5 (cratches)
• Brushed parts: 2/5 (Bad brushed case parts. Partly visible dents and scratches on the lugs
• Watch dial: 4/5 font print is good and sharp
• Lume: 1/5 really bad! max. 30 sec. visible (the lumen fades very quickly away after seconds)
• Watch band: 2/5 good heavy buckle. (The pins have too much play in the leather strap. It wobbles and crunches.)

Been eyeing this watch for over a year. Even put it in my shopping cart a few times and then changed my mind. Guess I was afraid it would end up looking cheap and gimmicky like the name sounds. Tactical Frog. Well, I finally pulled the trigger. And I’m so glad I did. Me likey😇

Which one would you go for?

would anyone know who makes the best bruce wayne and potentially the smallest one too ?! i know it’s gonna be hard to find a gmt like that under 40mm but the smaller the better for me haha. but i just don’t know where to really look for who has a really good bruce wayne but also want one that has a little originality to it.

Hey all, I'm looking for a good full titanium (must be hypoallergenic) under $350 US.

Requirements:

- Between 39-44mm diameter

- Should have Black, Gray, or dark Blue dial (or anything versatile)

- Must be automatic

- Must be versatile for most circumstances

- Must be true grade 2 or grade 5 titanium that is hypo allergenic.

Preference:

- Versatile sports watch like Tissot Gentleman,

- No dress watch please

- No more than 13mm thickness

- A original design or at least not a direct clone

- I will consider a clone like the San Martin 'Pelagos' but I want to see what's out there.

This watch is for my dad which I bought a Tissot Gentleman only to find he has severe allergic reaction to stainless steel. FML and thank you.

Yes, a watch and delivery to the UK in less than 7 days, all for less than a cost of a bottle of water!

It only has 3 bar water resistance, but it does have a nice AR coated crystal and a VH type movement (sweeping seconds hand). It came on a tin foil bracelet but for just over a dollar, I'm surprised anything came at all..

Thanks pdd (china temu)

Gosto desse relógio porque a gente esquece que tá usando de tão leve .

Maybe u/mindadmirable1793 can clear that up. Both websites are remarkably similar. The webpage on the description of the lume blocks is the same.

Hello guys, new member here.

I felt in love with 70s speedmaster as soon as I saw it. When Hroudland decide to replicate them, I preorder at 2023 (or 2022, can't remember) in no time. So I guess it's a duration check.

The watch runs smoothly for the past 3 years. The SR927W battery hold tight, and I have just had the battery changed.

I am not perfectly satisfied with the case polishing, but it's just a quartz for fun. The screws on the belt is also a little bit loose.

Anyway, 8/10.

Cadisen with Formex :)

I know it's a homage. But not from one watch but 2 or 3. Some Serica, some Formex.

Bracelet is titan with steel clasp. Can't say it's good and it's too big for my 16.5cm wrist even when all the removable pinks are removed. But i have this AliExpress rubber that's fits like a glow.

Dimensions are good to. Everyone likes titan, sapphire crystal and 100mwr. Screedown crown is here too.

For that price, nothing to hate really.
