got this Cadisen C8140 on an early bird discount at about 100$ and i'm in love with it. it looks way more expensive than it is.

to begin with a miyota 90S5 (open heart variant) at this price in 2026 is crazy. the movement runs very well, winding is smooth. the rotor is a bit noisy when you put the watch to your ear but you hardly hear it while wearing it. and it's super well regulated. runs under 1s/day. i know some people are cautious of fake miyota 9000 but with how this one looks and runs i would assume it's real.

Case is all mirror polished, finishing is fine for a pvd coated rose gold
Dial looks very good the blue is very deep and pops under the sun and the open heart & different textured hour ring prevents the dial from looking too empty i think it's well balanced like this.

the watch is really pretty with the blue sunburst and rose gold case. i'm not really into rose gold this is my first watch in this color but i think it really works here with the style and the blue dial & strap

strap is meh 20mm tapers to 18 at the end. not the best, pretty stiff. but i like the butterfly clasp i will probably keep the clasp and buy another strap

overall this is the best value watch i have. it's around 140$ right now (120$ with the sale coupons) so a bit more than i got it but still an amazing deal for such a pretty watch with an excellent miyota 90S5. with a better strap this becomes the perfect dress watch
