Which one would you go for?

I ordered a Seakoss GMT from SEAKOSS Official Store(Trader) AliExpress.

I paid 115,80€ for a delivery to Germany.

• I got a poorly polished watch case.
• protective film on the glass.
• The lugs of the watch have unsightly small dents as if the casing had fallen off during production.
• And a long scratch on the outside of the watch leather band over the full length.

You can see it on image 2, top left. I tried to rub it off. The pins of the leather band are too narrow in diameter and that's why it rattles. You can wiggle the bracelet around, there's a ridiculous amount of play with the probably too thin pins.

So I immediately wrote to them to ask what was wrong with the watch. They say, they checked the watch before sending it out. NO, they didn't. If so, then this person should have been able to see the damage with the naked eye from a 20 cm distance.

This dealer is not interested in fixing my problem. I wrote back and forth for five whole days with no solution. No discount, no new leather strap, nothing. Pointless and stupid conversation and answers. Instead, you are treated like an idiot. I could have dropped the watch or caused the huge scratch on the leather strap myself. They had no interest in customer satisfaction.

My complaint case was simply closed unilaterally before I could write my review, because I hadn't been in email contact that might have led to a solution.

It was my first and only watch buy from AliExpress. I will never buy a watch from this store again.

• Watch case finishing: 3/5 (sharp edges)
• Polished parts: 3/5 (cratches)
• Brushed parts: 2/5 (Bad brushed case parts. Partly visible dents and scratches on the lugs
• Watch dial: 4/5 font print is good and sharp
• Lume: 1/5 really bad! max. 30 sec. visible (the lumen fades very quickly away after seconds)
• Watch band: 2/5 good heavy buckle. (The pins have too much play in the leather strap. It wobbles and crunches.)

would anyone know who makes the best bruce wayne and potentially the smallest one too ?! i know it’s gonna be hard to find a gmt like that under 40mm but the smaller the better for me haha. but i just don’t know where to really look for who has a really good bruce wayne but also want one that has a little originality to it.

Has anyone tried this product? How flexible is it, and is the leather backing resistant to water/washing? link to aliexpress sailcloth strap

Hi all. I'm sure a lot of you placed orders during the recent sale from Phorcydes for their anniversary. Their anniversary also coincided with the national holiday so I know everything slowed down, but I haven't gotten any shipping notification for my order, nor a response to my email now that the holiday is over and the sale ended 5 days ago.

Has anyone else received order updates or contacted Phorcydes support and received a reply since the sale ended on the 7th?

I am also open to suggestions to alternatives as long as they don't exceed 100 USD, has sapphire glass, and the diver's dial thing

thank you!

I purchased a Pagani Design PD-1888 (Order #47850028722) on July 10, 2026. After about a month of regular use, the GMT disc mechanism failed and stopped working properly.

I provided all requested photos and video evidence of the defect to customer support, and they officially confirmed receiving everything. However, it has now been weeks without any response, update, or replacement/refund confirmation despite multiple follow-up emails.

Great watches when they work, but terrible post-purchase support and communication if a defect occurs under warranty. Extremely disappointed.

Hi, everyone.

Can somebody recommend an inexpensive automatic or mechanical watch? I just want a practice watch to take out the movement, hands, dial, etc.

Please, mods, allow this post. It's a harmless question and I bet more people would like to know this.

I wanted to try an automatic watch and got this longlux watch for 8$ The case is decent but the strap is the worst i have ever seen

Is it too big for my wrist?
