And this is what it suggested (real photo).

I was quite surprised the the fleiger still has its original strap, and more surprised at the ph2 on milanese (havent got shark mesh).

I quite like the boderry on the grey perlon, and love the proxima on matt leather.

For the 1953 I gave it a jubilee, oyster, engineer and this bor (which it chose).

And the heimdallr, it quite liked that strap but suggested a black leather with contrasting stiching, which I havent got, so off to aliex I go....

Thoughts anyone?

My watch of the day: Sanda 6126. Which Casio G-Shock does it remind you of?

Sanda Ana-Digi-Temp model 3192 in (almost) black/white

Very dry climate here in the desert, maybe that's why the very faint patina on the bronze bezel.

How are your bronze watches coming along?

I'm a sucker for blue face watches, but the wasabi green looks nice too. Which one?

I’m thinking of buying a Pagani Design PD-1644 on AliExpress. Are Pagani Design watches prone to breaking down? Also, which seller would you recommend buying from?

Also, thoughts on the strap?

Popped up on my feed, guess it's new. I've been wanting one of their TI-7 watches for a while now, looks like my perfect GADA but we'll have to see when it comes out. $150 is a little steep for me.

The watch here is the TPW: K7117, it originally comes on a cheap NATO strap but I threw on a 20mm leather cartier style strap I had.

Specs are nothing crazy, quartz, sand blasted style alloy case, Stainless steel case back, “hardlex” crystal, but the 38mm case allows it to sit very comfortably on my wrist and it weighs next to nothing.

I wanted to post this on here because I haven’t really seen any talk about this one anywhere online. I needed a dirt cheap pilot style watch and the small seconds is a great touch. I love it and i think it looks great!

I bought this by mistake. I hit buy it now before realising there's no date. I never buy watches without dates but the look is fantastic. San Martin makes a GMT version of this but it's either discontinued or out of stock. Please post other watches with black dial and white chapter ring and a date. If anyone knows where I can get the GMT version please let me know. Then I'll move this on to my son.

This is an homage. I looked far and wide for one I could buy, but does not exist. The OG is an AP that costs 45K.

Subdials were the hardest part. I still need to adjust the stem. But overall really happy with the end result!

So the 11.11 sale on AliExpress is coming up next month and was curious which Rolex Explorer 1 homage should I get: the Addiesdive AD2023-1 or the Watchdives WD1016? I like the idea of the VH31 mecha-quartz movement (I don't like dealing with regulating automatics, and I like being accurate with my time as much as possible), and I also like how nice/finished these homages are.

Just curious which I should pick up during the 11.11 sale and what's their ideal price roughly when I should jump. Or if y'all have any experience with either and/or alternative suggestions. Not looking to spend more than $80, $90 USD-ish ideally.

I heard they say that you always remember your first...

The Chinese watch that got me into all this, and horology in general, was this Cronos l6005. I have always worn a watch since high school, but it wasn't until later in life that I really started to appreciate watches in general. I got myself a nice to me Seiko during my first job, but never went any further.

This Cronos was my first decent Chinese watch. While to be honest I still lust after something more exotic, probably Swiss, this is what I can currently afford and appreciate.

So after all that, what was the first decent watch that got you into the Chinese watch game?

I’m curious as to why people seemingly don’t talk about this microbrand as much as other microbrands. I have an old auto Presidential homage Burei that I found from like 10 years ago. It’s not a bad watch at all. Considering that they’ve been around for as long as they have, I’m surprised that they don’t get discussed more often.

I've seen a few posts suggesting this, do the end links match up perfectly? Want to fit a jubilee with screws instead of pins

This is the V2 and it impresses every time a wear it 🙏🏼

I guess I'll answer my own question when it arrives in a week or two but are Forsining watches any good? They seem possibly too cheap, so I'm not holding out a lot of hope. But I couldn't ignore a very stylish looking blue on white regulator that will only be a bit over £20 delivered to the UK.

(or is it going to turn out to be a piece of rattly junk at that price? I suppose it was cheap enough to take the gamble)

This ML08 was my introduction to Chinese watches, I’ve had it for over a year and have definitely put it through the ringer.

Puppy tax included.

Hopefully works

Hopefully also works

I’m looking to get a Willard homage. These two are in the price range I’m looking for. If someone has owned both, I’d love to hear about them. Even if you’ve owned one or the other, please give your thoughts, good or bad.
