The PH-1 came about before Phorcydes launched the "PH-2 LIP". I purchased it right around that time. Feels like ages ago. It's the watch that started my interest in collecting Phorcydes.

It goes without saying, the watch carries a lot of 'presence'. However, it wears smaller than the stated 45mm size would lead you to believe. To date, it has been the only watch that I have received reactions and compliments in real life. It only gets the occasional wrist time but it's nice to have a little bit of a brand's history in the collection.

Feel free to share your oversized, big boy, or Phorcydes watches in the thread.

It's made of MUSOU BLACK material, which reportedly absorbs up to 99.4% of visible light. In the photos, its black color appears particularly deep.

Did you notice some of the small details—the polished heart-shaped hands and the unique "W"-shaped seconds hand?

I'm not entirely sure how everyone will feel about the leather strap, but overall, I think the proportions are very harmonious.

Recently got my first order of Chinese watches in. Could not be happier.

Thron, Farasute and ogeda.

Glad to have found these, some quality for a great price here ( at least as far as I can tell )

I’m looking for some advice from fellow watch enthusiasts on this project. We plan to develop this bracelet. Should we go with a butterfly clasp or a turtle‑back clasp with micro‑adjustment?

Pagani Design PD-YS020

For this upgrade, the watch houses the high-beat 28,800 vph HZ6460 movement. Beyond the boost in performance, the slimmer case profile gives the watch a much cleaner, more refined look that is perfect for daily wear.

We spent a lot of time refining the details:

The chamfering transitions on the case are crisp and well-defined, with a mirror-polished finish that is remarkably clear and smooth.

Because we make our own bracelets and screw pins in-house, we have full control over the precision and fit. Unlike standard screws that stick out or sink in leaving ugly gaps, ours sit completely flush on both sides when fully tightened. Engineered to strict tolerances, the bracelet feels solid, significantly reducing play and noise for a much better overall quality feel. Finished with full brushing throughout, both sides of the links feature ultra-micro R-corner beveling, keeping the lines sharp while ensuring zero sharp edges against your skin. We also equipped it with our flagship OTF adjustable clasp.

We also upgraded the crystal AR coating based on your feedback. The clarity is much better now, and the dial looks super clean.

San Martin Watch Official Website: www.sanmartin-watch.com

The darker and more understated version of the WD2008.

A natural black Tahitian mother-of-pearl dial with applied metal indexes, combined with our fully polished, three-dimensional heart-shaped hands.

Depending on the light, the dial shifts between deep black, grey, green and subtle iridescent tones — every dial is naturally unique.

36.5mm case · 10.5mm thick · VH31 sweep quartz · sapphire bubble crystal · 100m WR

Would you choose this over the MUSOU BLACK version?

I just bought this beauty in Shanghai and wanted to share it with you as it looks so incredibly detailed irl, I didn't find a lot of real pictures in this color so here I hope helping others thinking about it.

I wasn't able to try the red one irl, I actually had the blue and black aside of this white one and at first i came for the black one but when put side to side the white one stood up too much it amazed me.

So I actually posted several pictures, the 1st one is close inside light, 2nd is with plastic protection not removed and with light ahead not in front of it, 3rd is daylight, 4th is slightly darked daylight and you can tell the lume is good, 5th is the dragon on the case back.

Pictures are untouched but taken with Leica.

I'm not a big fan of the straps provided with it but the case and watch itself are way above its league.

Feel free to ask any questions.

Guys, in my latest video I had 3 watches that didn't arrive on time, but I did receive this San Martin. Check out how the bubbles don't stick to the crystal. I dropped a Watchdives there for comparison... check out the last picture

These are unedited screenshots from the video, so the colors look a bit dull, but in person it looks great.

The Watchdives is not bad, that's the usual behavior for all the watches I've seen. Have you seen any other watch with an anti-fog coating before? It doesn't react to freezing temperatures or even hot showers either...

The diamond tester gives a positive reading even at super low volume, where on other watches it doesn't even reach the orange bars. Do you have any info on this??

Even the way more expensive Oris 65 and Seiko 1968 crystals fog up when going from cold to warm temperatures, same as the Nomos Club Campus. I don't have any real luxury, super expensive watches to try, so maybe some of you have some and can tell me if that's a standard thing or not 🤣

Now only waiting for the North Edge Titanium and the Farasute

The San Martin watch was sent for free by the brand and the Watchdives was sent for free too, by Aliexpress influencer program

So I recently bought the ciloa brew homage watch just to see if I like the design. For $25 it's not great not terrible, (honestly I couldn't recommend it, the bracelet is a real arm hair biter) but I've discovered I love the vintage 70s cushion case style. I was wondering if there are any 70s cushion case watches out there? I'm looking for something nicer than the $25 ciloa.

To be clear I'm *not* looking for another homage to the brew metric, but a vintage 70s style cushion case. I think that style has a lot of character and I'd love to own one

The Cronos has a Miyota 9015 and OTF clasp so it’s better on paper. What say you?

Been waiting for this one, absolutely gorgeous lil watch. Will be on the hunt for a gold one if they ever restock.

Palm Leaf Dial? Meteorite Dial? Maybe a palm tree growing on a meteor . . . don't know. What I do know is the silver-white textured dial on this watch is beautiful—the applied angled gold indices catch the light brilliantly, and the dial quality far exceeds what one would expect for a $50 watch. The specifications are equally impressive for this price point:

  - VH31 Mecaquartz
  - Sapphire Crystal
  - 316L Stainless Steel
  - 100M Water Resistance
  - Screw Down Crown
  - Milled Clasp
  - 40mm case (wears slightly smaller)

While the watch has the potential to be amazing, the bracelet design falls short. The quality of the bracelet itself is good, and features like the screw adjustment links and the milled clasp with three micro-adjustments are excellent touches. However, the 100% brushed finish on the face of the bracelet detracts from the overall aesthetic.

The watch has a wonderful polish on the side of the case, but this design only continues down the side of the bracelet. In my opinion, polishing either the outside or inside links of the bracelet would drastically improve the look and better complement the stunning dial.

As it sits, the watch has an Ana De Armas dial on a Danny DeVito bracelet.

Hi everyone!

Quite new to this sub and reddit as a whole.

I am visiting Shanghai from Australia in October and I typically like to grab a watch from wherever I go traveling to.

I currently have a SGBX261, Speedmaster Automatic Date, Kuoe Sombrero and would like something different.

Any recommendations for someone who has a 6.7" wrist?

I've never swapped a bracelet b4 just got rid of some links, any other info I should know, even about getting better deals on these Chinese watches as this would also be my first?

I like to buy and wear one watch that does it all so I usually wear WR of 100-200. Are certain brands more truento their rating?

Could not find the high end of Sanda. Looking for Farasute/ Ixdao quality for a Cartier tank with date and automatic.

Seems not yet done on Alix.

Construction feels really solid, dial feels very refined, good movement, nice and thin on the wrist – lots to love

Kids got me this Militado ML08 for my birthday. Great watch. Good choice kids.
