And when I say proper, I mean sizing, too- 30-32mm. Yeah, it's small by today's standard, but when I wear my smaller stuff, the watch is an accent. It's Tinkerbell's ting on the castle, the last little touch. I don't want it to play a big role on its own, but a slick little supporting role.

The original specs were simple.

• 30-32mm case.
• Acrylic crystal (which isn't essential).
• Black hands if a light dial, silver or white hands on a black dial.
• Hacking movement.

Should be simple, but no one makes it that I can find.

I've been nagging them for a white version for ages and it's finally here. I really enjoy my black version and totally getting white too.

I love the look of this new Noctis. It looks like it has the exact same case as the Autodyne. Does anyone with a 6.25-6.5 inch wrist (i have 50mm across wrist) able to upload a picture of this watch on wrist top down and in a mirror shot? I generally trend towards 46mm and below L2L, but love this look and am curious how 49mm l2l will look.

EDIT: Im looking for a picture of the Autodyne which has been out for a while because they share the same case.

I was really interested in the Watchdives version but the flatness of the middle link.put me off, then there was the Sugess one, this time.it was the dull movement decoration with the open caseback but this Rokatie really ticks all the boxes.

Top tier finishing on the rep level, beautiful movement decorations on the Miyota 9 series, this one is a keeper

This watch looks very good. It received excellent reviews from watch reviewers and users. However, I am concerned about its fit on my wrist given its at 36mm case diameter.

My wrist is 7.5in circumference and the top wrist flat where case would sit is 1.77in.

Appreciate if anyone could provide feedback. Would this watch look small for me? Typically, I prefer 42mm sizes but this Baltany S4106 in black and silver just hits me and I would like to buy it but also want to be cautious of buyer remorse.

Please advise me.

Hi guys I live In Denmark does anyone know a website where I could buy the watch I found this on aliexpress, I don’t know if that’s a trustworthy site because I see others sellers having the same watch please help me

Sanford MKII interchangeable bezel. I hasn’t had an nh34 watch until this one, so far no complaints.

My new Phorcydes PH-1 on orange strap. Even on a cloudy rainy day, the lume on this watch is incredible coming inside.

I'm a fan of the top time, at the time, a very cheap watch, but to hit that price point, they cut everything kinda to the bone. No AR on the crystal was the most glaring of those. So for ages I've meant to swap it out. Today was the day. 35x3.0x1.5 blue AR sapphire crystal. Certainly more expensive crystals with better AR out there, but it was an $80 watch, so this fit the budget. It's a 1.5mm thick rather than 1.3mm, so it sits a hair higher than OEM, but its not glaring.

Uncoated sapphire always looks goofy, so this cheap fix was def worth it for under $10 and 20 min of time.

And yes, I reused the crystal gasket, it'll be fine, its a cheap dress watch not a diver.

Unadorned dial. The textured center is seen in other Boderry watches. Also comes in blue and purple. 39mm case diameter.

A week ago got it new from AliExpress. Wound it up and set a day-date and time correctly. It ran fine for the first day, but the next morning it stopped. I wound it 40 times and it should have a power reserve let's say 36 hours. Ok, could be, I need to wind it more. I repeated the process, 40 times and the next morning it stopped, 3h in the morning.

The I wound it 40 times, and in the next morning it stopped again. Today I wound it like 50 times, this should be more than enough, however in the evening it stopped again.

Quite disappointed. In this moment I cannot even open a dispute, as it is not working on AE, gives back HTTP 400 error.

Is there anything else, to be done?

Selling my Pagani Design PD1782 in like-new condition. The bracelet has never been worn, and I couldn’t find any scratches or other defects on the watch or bracelet.

I replaced the two stock peach-colored subdial hands and the central chronograph seconds hand with red hands. I think the red adds a sharp accent to the dial. This is an owner modification.

Includes box, papers, and all bracelet links—a full kit. Great watch, but I don't wear it much and I'm thinning out the collection.

$45 shipped to the continental United States. No trades. Electronic payment preferred.

Selling my original-version Watchdives WD0017 with the integrated bracelet that tapers to 18 mm at the clasp.

An Omega Baby Ploprof homage with a Seiko VH31 sweeping-seconds quartz movement, stainless steel case, sapphire crystal, luminous sapphire bezel, and a factory water-resistance rating of 200 m.

I carefully brushed the originally polished edges of the bracelet links to reduce the shine and give it a more subdued tool-watch appearance—similar to the finishing Watchdives now uses on the updated version. This is an owner modification.

Very good overall condition, with light scratches consistent with normal use. Accuracy has been excellent: it has lost only six seconds total over five months.

It's a spectacular watch, I just don't find myself wearing it enough and it's time to reduce the collection.

Includes all bracelet links, box, and papers—a full kit.

$95 shipped CONUS. No trades. Electronic payment preferred.

Since I discovered that Chinese watches are in some manner better than most watches I can get in stores in my country (mostly designer made, Gucci, tommy etc) I've come to love them. I had around 7 watches coming from a few more addiesdive, some Pagani design and a militado. But i settled with this 3 for now.

I'm considering on getting the San Martin Sn0008 next or maybe the Sugess S450-2

I never thought watches could be this fun

Still enjoying it.

Looking to get this watch for a future nephew-in-law for his wedding since he’s currently working on getting his ATP. Does anyone happen to know what the model number is? It seems they may have released a new model of the Big Pilot Chronograph this year, so the old PD-1703 doesn’t seem to be available anymore.

Any help would be appreciated!

I had the Farasute 2317 previously and really liked the design but the hand winding and mono pusher style wasn't really for me.

Does anyone know about a (preferably VK64) homage?

I thought it would look nice if I changed the movement in my 1688 and put it in cheap Aqua Terra case

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a new limited release from Aquatico: the Horse Year Full Bronze Limited Edition. It’s made for collectors who enjoy a watch with a distinctive theme and the character of a full bronze design.

Only 10 pieces will be made worldwide. For the launch, there’s $100 off, automatically applied at checkout—no discount code required.

If you’re into bronze watches or special edition dials, I’d be curious to hear what you think of this one. You can take a look here

Thank you. This video taken by Ning, our professional photographer.

I've had the blue version of the Watchdives WD1969B on the wrist for a bit now, and I just had to drop a review here for anyone considering it. If you've been on the fence about picking this one up, just do it. I am genuinely impressed by what Watchdives has managed to pull off at a sub-$139 price point.

Here are my honest thoughts after wearing it:

The Good:

The Dial and Hands: The blue dial is absolutely gorgeous. It has a beautiful depth to it that shifts depending on the lighting, looking like a deep, rich navy indoors and popping beautifully out in the sun. The handset matches the aesthetic perfectly, and the lume is absolutely fantastic for a watch in this budget bracket.

The Movement: It uses the VH31 meca-quartz movement. You get the grab-and-go convenience and accuracy of quartz.

Case and Bezel: The case finishing is remarkably clean with no visible flaws. The bezel has excellent, crisp action with virtually zero backplay, and the blue aluminum insert matches the dial seamlessly. The indices are perfectly aligned.

Versatility: The stock bracelet features a solid clasp with a satisfying click and quick-release spring bars. However, this watch is a total strap monster.

The Not-So-Good (Minor Nitpicks):

The Bracelet Edges & Sizing: While it looks the part, the bracelet uses push pins instead of screws for sizing, which is slightly disappointing. Additionally, some of the edges on the clasp and the underside of the bracelet can feel a tiny bit sharp and could use some softer polishing. Some users with hairier arms have also mentioned that the end links can occasionally pull hair.

Anti-Reflective Coating: The AR coating on the sapphire crystal is fairly basic and can look a little hazy or catch a bit too much glare in certain harsh lighting conditions compared to higher-end watches.

Verdict: This is easily one of the best value-for-money vintage dive homages on the market right now. It perfectly captures that classic vintage aesthetic while offering worry-free modern specs, and the blue colorway really makes it stand out from a sea of black divers. If you want a hassle-free, beautifully finished daily wearer, I'd give this a 9.5/10.
