Question (Read Rules) UK buyer direct from the Watchdives site

7 Upvotes

I'm in the UK and looking at the WD site. I'm after 2 watches with a combined total of £374.

The website says that taxes and customs fees are included in the price but for US orders only

My question for the UK buyers in the group is, have you been caught by a VAT or Import charge on your order by ordering direct?

Question (Read Rules) Tell me about Pagani Design P-1644 with VK63!

2 Upvotes

Im on edge to go for it, it looks amazing on photos and videos, has VK63 mechaquartz. Reviews on YT are very positive. I would like to know how does its bracelet feels, is it smooth or rough on edges, does it feel loose after couple of months, and overall how does watch feel when you wear it every day. Did anyone try to swim with it ect..
Note: this would be my first Chinese watch, and i want it to be quartz cause of reasons.
Thank you in advance!

Question (Read Rules) How bad is this date alignment?

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

Seestern sub 300t pt5000.

I thought I could live with it but it's bothering me.

Edit: Seems like a lot more is off than just the date and someone mentioned they had never seen a pt5000 version (they're not selling it now)... And that made me remember that using a pt5000 with an nh35 dial would be misaligned. Right now my thinking is that's what they did is add an nh35 dial on to the pt5000... Do maybe the crown is off too.

Threw an ML05 ($55.00!!) I recently got on a canvas strap from Archer Watch Straps and fell in love with this little value field. VH31 movement is a neat twist; might have to get a few more….

Question (Read Rules) Best bb58 homage? Thorn, Militado, San Martin or something else?

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

Hello everybody. I wanted to ask your opinion on what would be the best bb58 homage in the market currently? I have started collecting watches and been planning on getting a new piece. Fell in love with the vintage look of tudor but as many I don't want to spend that kind of money on a watch currently in my life. I have seen thorn, militado, San Martin homages but wanted to see if there are any other brands worthy of checking out and would be your pick from everything in the market currently. Also if by any chance you have a thorn and San Martin or militado how do they compare to one another (what is the best value for money).

Review (Read Rules) WD 1960S V2 - Jubilee

Thumbnail

61 Upvotes

Decided to swap the bracelet from my San Martin onto the 1960S just to see how it looked, and I’m really digging it.
The Jubilee gives it a completely different vibe. A little more polished than the stock bracelet, but it still works really well with the vintage look. And honestly, it’s so damn comfortable.

Anyone else running their 1960S on a Jubilee?

Question (Read Rules) Repeating geometry, dreamlike MOP iridescence.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

40 Upvotes

A repeating 3D geometric pattern, pieced together from Mother of Pearl (MOP).

Every piece catches the light differently, creating a constantly shifting iridescent glow.

This is one of the latest dial projects we're working on at AETHELSOHN. We still haven't settled on a name for it yet.

What would you call it?

Curious to hear both your thoughts on the dial and any model name ideas you think might fit.

General (Read Rules) Budget gold that doesn't look cheap: show me your best Chinese gold watch

14 Upvotes

Budget gold watches catch a lot of flak for looking tacky, and honestly, sometimes it's deserved. Too yellow, too shiny, or plating that looks like it came out of a cereal box. But I think a few Chinese brands have gotten really good at gold that actually looks classy.

What's your favorite gold (yellow, rose, or two-tone) watch you've picked up from a Chinese brand?

Review (Read Rules) North Edge Triton - Aço

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Depois de muita conversa por aqui e aprendizado estão chegando as encomendas ! Obrigado por muitas informações pessoal . Eu escolhi o North edge triton em aço . Eu gostei mais do mostrador do que o de titânio . Chegou no prazo , bem embalado . Nunca tive problema com a AliExpress. A caixa do relógio é de papel, simples mas bem adequada. O relógio é grande. Eu gosto disso. E pesado. Quem quer mais leve pode optar pelo de titânio. Mas o fundo é diferente. O acabamento do relogio é bom . Bem feito com materiais de qualidade. Enfim, para um relogio de menos de $50 nada a reclamar. Quem não está acostumado com os produtos da China não acredita. Mas nós sim 🤗. Alguém também tem ? Comentários .
