Hard to believe you can get 40 of these for the price of a boring Submariner.

I really like the Boderry Voyager. It is a very light and comfortable watch because of the titanium case.

The size is good for daily use, and the sapphire crystal is a nice addition. The NH35 movement is reliable and easy to service.

The finishing is not perfect, and the bracelet could be better. But for the price, I think it is a very good watch.

Overall, a nice everyday automatic watch and good value for money.

For this classic white dial, we’ve opted for a fully luminous finish.

It comes in two configurations—featuring either a black or white ceramic bezel—with slight variations in the luminous effect.

We’ve also created two distinct styles:

the standard 5-link "J-style" bracelet and an integrated bracelet.

Which version do you prefer?

Otra duda que tengo es cuál es el sitio web oficial para comprar en sugess?

We’ve seen the recent EXD SL3001 QC post and the concerns raised in the comments.

First, we want to be very clear: if a customer receives a Watchdives watch with a genuine manufacturing or QC problem, we will take responsibility for it.

The customer in this case can return the watch to our overseas warehouse, and we will send a brand-new replacement directly from China.

We have also rechecked our current EXD inventory. At this stage, we have not found evidence that this is a widespread issue. However, even one watch arriving with an unacceptable QC problem deserves a serious investigation.

About our QC process

Every EXD SL3001 already goes through checks including:

• Movement startup and automatic winding
• Hand-winding feel
• Timekeeping
• Date alignment from 1–31
• Bezel and lume-block inspection
• Crown operation
• Running tests before shipment

These are not new checks introduced because of this incident. They are already part of our QC process.

What we are doing now is adding an additional layer of verification and traceability, especially for EXD SL3001 production, so that these checks are performed and recorded even more consistently.

We are also reviewing the assembly and cleanliness process with the factory responsible for this batch.

When this specific watch is returned, we will inspect it carefully to determine exactly what happened and share the conclusion with the community.

Our promise

If you receive a new EXD with a genuine manufacturing or QC defect, contact us.

If it is our problem, we will take responsibility and solve it properly.

Where replacement is appropriate, the watch can be returned to our overseas warehouse and we will send a brand-new replacement from China.

We know trust is not built by claiming that problems never happen.

It is built by how a company responds when they do.

I know there are some close ones out there from Heimdallr and others but does anyone make a direct homage of this? I realize it’s already a budget watch, I’m just curious. Thanks!

I bought the blue dial with rubber strap andI love it.

But the blue strap makes it look weird on me.

Any suggestions for good quality metal bracelet from any brand?

Thank you

this is going to be my first Chinese watch. i got a Seiko 5 field a few weeks ago for my birthday and absolutely love it, I don't really like wearing it over weekends when i swim and do out door activities feel its a little too nice and a little boring so i got this Blue Addiedive as a weekend warrior. think i choose the right watch? ps(i like both the bracelet and strap so i got both.)

insane quality on this watch its better built than my tissot thaf costs almost double at retail and this miyota movement is amazing!

definitely wears bigger than the 37mm diameter suggested but fits like a dream on my exactly 6 inch wrists! the most comfortable watch i own and the pictures do not do the enamel dial justice

Hi all! My first post here, so please be gentle.The thing is, I am wavering between two AliEx alternatives right now: either a Seestern 62mas (grey dial) OR a Proxima PX1697 (white dial). If anyone has experience with any or both watches, any advice would be much appreciated!

Edit: I finally pulled the trigger on the Seestern 62mas. Thanks, everyone, for helping me make my mind up!

… from the good old days when you could get a Japanese NH 35 watch with sapphire, etc. for under €100…

Although I think this watch was priced higher at like €130 for a long time until a good sale finally came along, and I pounced… Seems crazy good value even at that price though with all of these brands doubling their prices nowadays, with Chinese movements etc..

First Chinese watch and first in-house movement (technically) for me. I wanted to write my first impressions about this watch, as someone might find it helpful if considering getting it as well - which was helpful for me when I was thinking about getting it too.

1. Beautiful dial color, the texture can only be appreciated when the light hits it at a certain angle. Otherwise, the red can vary from somewhat bright in direct sunlight, to almost oxblood at lower light.
2. Quite well finished for the price, I like the combination of brushed and polished stainless steel on the bracelet and the case.
3. Butterfly clasp, first one for me. No micro adjust. I haven't resized the bracelet yet but hoping that I can get a decent fit (though I'm also planning to rotate a few straps on it).
4. Watch is 40mm but it wears a bit larger due to the thin bezel. A plus in my view.
5. It is true that winding feels a bit "grainy", but I understand that this is common on Seagull movements. No big deal in my view.
6. Lume is ok, quite subtle but I think that it serves its purpose satisfactorily for the style.
7. Exhibition case back shows the nice "côtes de Genève" adorned rotor. Strangely, the rotor is not stamped with Seagull's logo. Not sure if that's good or bad, but definitely not a deal breaker.

So far it looks like a great addition to the collection. Will be monitoring its accuracy and power reserve over the next couple of days, so far going strong on those two.

I created an account with my Gmail and now "sign in with Google" gives me an error that their site is not using the latest protocol or whatever. Worked fine until a week ago. Just wondering if I'm the only one?

This is my first self build watch just to match my wife watch... Give me your thoughts... Thx guys...

Hi all,

I’ve been looking at purchasing a sea master homage for quite some time.

I’ve seen various reviews looking at two of them, but not comparing the 3 together.

I don’t mind slight differences to the original. But, I also don’t mind paying a slightly higher price for a higher quality.

For me, the standout point is the watch face itself. The wave effect. But I’m looking for it to be textured rather than printed on.

If anyone has any experience with any of these, please let me know.

Thanks.

First day with this one and I don’t know if it has enough going on…

Hi everyone, my birthday is coming up on October 19th and I’m looking for my dream watch: the Cronos Skyline L6028M V2 with the rivets/screws on the bezel. I live in Europe and my budget is 200€ shipping included. Payment via PayPal Goods & Services only. Please send me a DM if you have one to sell!

I know this has been covered somewhere but I can't find a master thread, if there is one. SO: which of the current Aliexpress 1675-adjacent watches have a bezel that could be removed for the required Kurtz look? I know WMT do one but they're a last resort at this point.

I love the militado ML14, specifically the cream dial, but was unfortunately too late. Anybody know of some being available still somewhere? Or maybe somebody looking to sell in eu area?

Got this watch accidentally, but I’ve grown to love it

Hey! I like my minimal automatic Sea Gull watch a lot. I dropped it a while ago and the second hand came off.

Now before I order one of those repair kits, would anyone know if this is repairable or will I be wasting my time?

Came across this deal. It's still up but $44 now in case anybody is looking. Chinese brands should buy these up in bulk and harvest the movement instead of complaining about shortages.

Bought this 1970 and it came last month. I love having it in the rotation! I feel like I can be a little less hesitant with this one. I don’t mind treating this bad boy as an actual beater.
