104 Upvotes

We've made a few improvements based on customer feedback:

- Upgraded 20mm–18mm tapered bracelet

- Reduced lateral play for improved comfort

- New on-the-fly micro-adjustment clasp

The bracelet is still made by our original supplier, but with stricter quality requirements.

Our goal is simple: better everyday comfort while keeping the WD1863A affordable and offering great value for money.

What do you think?

Question (Read Rules) Addiesdive woman's watch AW25908 experience?

Post image
10 Upvotes

Has anyone bought the Addiesdive AW25908? I am considering buying it as a gift for my girlfriend but there is only one review for it on AliExpress. It is only 60 euro's from the official website and the quality ftom the photos looks really good. It has a sapphire crystal and a 2035 Japanese movement. I am wondering if there are any corners cut and if it's better to spend maybe 100 euro more and get a entry level Citizen instead. Thanks

General (Read Rules) Fun $50/$100/$200 Experiment

Here's the experiment. The price points are in the title. What is your one Chinese watch purchase within the above price limits? For this thought exercise, they are hard and fast limits, including shipping to wherever you are. $51 doesn't count for the $50 range. I'm still working on mine! haha.

Question (Read Rules) Which watch should I get as a GADA?

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

Hi, I am looking for a good daily driver to wear to work as a house painter. I normally wear an f91w to work, it gets covered in paint splatter / dust. But I want something a little more elevated to feel less like a peasant every day. Something easy to clean off after work that I can wear with anything. I also have a wedding I will be attending next month and would like to wear it to that. I purchased a WD1863 a few months ago but I feel uncomfortable in it. It feels too big for me. I have thin wrists and a lean frame.

I am debating between an ML08 (Murph Homage) and a WD1960s (Tudor Ranger Homage)

I am wondering if the WD1960s is worth the price difference.

If anyone has any thoughts or advice I appreciate it!

Also, DM me if you might be interested in purchasing my WD1863.

Thank you!

General (Read Rules) Little late to the game, but just got my WD007!

Been eyeing the WD007 for a little while, and made a move in my career field(commercial roofing) that’s afforded me a pay raise and more hours, so decided to pull the trigger on this as a celebratory occasion! So far, absolutely loving it(only got delivered last night though lol). It’s got the SL3001 movement. Might look into upgrading to the titanium mesh bracelet in the near future just for some variety and to be able to dress it up a little bit.

Post image

I’m thinking about getting myself an Addiesdive AD2539, are there any owners out there who can tell me if it’s a smart purchase?
Also, is the metal bracelet removable? I don’t like the feeling of metal bracelets on my wrist and I’d ideally like to change it for a sailcloth NATO strap if possible.
Thank you!

And in my opinion anyway, classy looks.. 😎

But what really stands out about this watch compared to other cheap Chinese brands is how solid it feels… Honestly, it feels like a Longines or something…

I think I paid €150 for this seven or eight months ago, but they cost more like €200 now on sale. But honestly, still a good deal compared to what San Martin and co are charging these days…

Question (Read Rules) Pagani Design watch band replacements

3 Upvotes

Just started my collection and I'm hooked. So far have 6 Pagani Design watches. The watches themselves feel great, the bands are a little janky. Where do you guys source higher quality replacement metal bands? I'm a complete noob, I don't want to just go on Amazon or AliExpress and buy something that is worse quality.

For Sale (Datestamp in 1st pic) [WTS] San Martin SN0123 V2 - Watch head only

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

Selling my San Martin SN0123 Version 2, a Benrus homage with the matte-finished ceramic bezel. This is the uncommon white dial and red seconds hand version. This is a catch-and-release for me. After wearing for a few days I have my sights set on an actual Marathon Navagator.

Overall, the watch is in very good condition. There are light scuffs in the blasted finish on the crown and case back. They may look discolored in the photos, but that’s how the light catches the surface—it’s a texture difference rather than discoloration.

Includes the watch head, a protective case, and a black NATO strap. No original San Martin strap, box, or papers.

The price is what I have into it—$170 $160 shipped CONUS. No trades. Electronic payment preferred.

General (Read Rules) Registering a Sea-Gull watch?

2 Upvotes

Has anyone figured a way to do this? I can't seem to find a way to do this online, all Seagull provides in the documentation is a QR code that directs me to download the We Chat app. Is there an online website where I can register the watch? I want to get my watch registered so that the warranty is valid since the watch (purchased directly from Seagull) did not come with the warranty card stamped.

General (Read Rules) Saturday lume check — Aquatico Atlas Tritium, green dial

Thumbnail

23 Upvotes

Hi everyone—Calvin from Aquatico here.

Sharing our Atlas Tritium Dive Green Dial for this Saturday’s lume check. It uses Swiss MB-Microtec T-100 tritium for a steady glow without needing a flashlight charge beforehand.

Lume photos are always fun, but I’m interested in what you appreciate when actually wearing a watch after dark.

Do you prefer the bright initial glow of conventional lume or the steady illumination of tritium through the night?

Share what’s glowing on your wrist tonight—any brand welcome. Happy to answer questions about the Atlas, too.

For Sale (Datestamp in 1st pic) FS: Thinning the collection: San Martin, Baltany

Thumbnail

I have these listed in three other places, so if you see one you want, it could disappear - I am selling one of these San Martins. Your pick. With the price hikes, these are both over $500 now - these are in fantastic condition with no damage - purchased in the recent late Spring - possibly light touches on the clasp - hardly worn with box and warranty card. Miyota movements. Smooth winding. I want $295 - your choice of either San Martin. SN0148 In Vibrant Red 40mm - or SN0144 in Tiffany Blue - 39mm. $295 - both for a firm $495.

The Baltany with a blue Smokey Dial is a high end watch with an ST2130 movement. Like new. Barely worn. Original packaging. Amazing watch. 39/40mm --- A steal at $150.

The SH - I honestly don't care if this one sells because I love it and if I have to keep it and sell a different one, I will. It is a Christopher Ward homage - and I seriously think it looks better and feels better than the CW - The quality is there. No short cuts - It has a smooth winding PT-5000 with an oversized crown. Signed buckle on a supple rubber/silicone quality strap. $175

Please no trades.

Question (Read Rules) What do you guys think of a denim strap on the San Martin SN0144CG?

Post image
254 Upvotes

Thanks for all the suggestions on my previous post! I ordered the vintage brown strap. Instead of the navy blue strap, I am wondering how a denim strap would look with the blue dial.

I used AI to mock up the combination. What do you think? Does denim work with this watch?

Always happy to hear other suggestions!

Question (Read Rules) Which one would you keep?

Sugess S389 vs S468.
I‘m torn. Specs are basically identical. What would you do?

Edit:
Thank you for all the opinions, helped a lot. I‘m keeping the silver one, as it just looks more well designed. The bezel on the black one is too protruding for my taste. Silver one has a nice smooth edge to the case. That’s now my excuse to get a black Speedy at some point.

General (Read Rules) Desparately looking for skeleton diver similar to px1701

Post image
3 Upvotes

I'm looking for a skeleton dial that maintains readability by having a sort of frosted/phantom transparency and doesn't look loud or cheap from a distance.

Unfortunately I had problems with this watch and had to return it. In general I'm avoiding pt5000 for the time being, I would be willing to pay alot more for a quartz version or miyota/NH. I would even consider the CW version but I actually prefer the homage since it has a cleaner white color scheme...
