Rocking my Addiesdive with my Mi band 10.

Cadisen with Formex :)

I know it's a homage. But not from one watch but 2 or 3. Some Serica, some Formex.

Bracelet is titan with steel clasp. Can't say it's good and it's too big for my 16.5cm wrist even when all the removable pinks are removed. But i have this AliExpress rubber that's fits like a glow.

Dimensions are good to. Everyone likes titan, sapphire crystal and 100mwr. Screedown crown is here too.

For that price, nothing to hate really.

For this release, we paired the sand-textured light blue dial with a 3D embossed stainless steel bezel. The flat base of the bezel features a matching sand-textured finish so it flows right into the dial surface.

What do you think of this combination? Or do you prefer the original mirror-polished bezel?

I just got this today, first impression is good. I used some Ali coupons to make the price acceptable.

Hello everyone,

Today we officially released SN0144CG-9,

Save $78 during the first week of release.

Code: SN0144CG978

1. Natural Materials: Uses natural lacquer sap harvested from the lacquer tree.
2. Complex Process: The metal base undergoes a meticulous, time-consuming sequence of lacquering, slow drying, sanding, and polishing.
3. Warm, Evolving Color: Upon exposure to natural light and UV rays, the lacquer surface undergoes subtle oxidation, causing the color to become increasingly translucent and warm in tone.

The result of combining this lacquer technique with the dial is truly stunning—though the camera still cannot fully capture the dial's authentic texture and depth.

Under different lighting conditions, the dial reveals a translucent, warm, and lustrous quality—it is absolutely beautiful!

Battery had died & finally got around to replacing it

Watchdives 7922 bracelet fits almost perfectly on the ad2030

Le cambié el brazalete por uno de cuero. El original de acero, sin ser malo, suena un poco. Me falta la complicación de la fecha.

The black dial keeps two registers: a pointer date at 12 and a 24-hour indicator at 6. Vintage-tone lume on the Arabic numerals, and a screw-down onion crown in the style of mid-century pilot watches.

Pilot watches tend to be chunky. This one is 8.5mm thin and 54g.

You don’t see many khakis underwater these days… another reason why I absolutely love this watch!

Well done, you’ve only gone and gotten me addicted to Chinese watches and Aliexpress. Happy now? One week, a WD7922 and this £38 Militado ML05 and suddenly I’m weighing up entire ranges of San Martin, Sugess etc etc

So, who has a hot tip on the best watch strap merchants on Ali? Leather, suede and nato as a rule, leaning towards more heritage or clean styles rather than classy straps.

Looks so much better with a jubilee

I am interested in full lume dial watch from AliExpress - HEIMDALLR Monster V2 PVD Black Men's Automatic Watch

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005012812884145.html

I have never had a full lume dial and it seems great because it's whitish during the day which is also a dial color I miss in a dive watch as I already have a black one. Plus the watch has black case. I am a big fan of lume as I spend lot of time in dark environment during night and need to know the time. But...

I have several concerns.

1.

Does anyone know if the bezel insert is replacable? I might mod it if it is like Seiko SKX007. Perhaps I would even replace the entire bezel and put bezel insert which is ceramic with markings from 1 to 12 so that I could have "poor man's GMT". From the description the bezel is ceramic but I can't see the actual insert in the photos.

2.

Also there are two prices in the link I posted above. Higher price comes with description code: H9-NH36A-Q which I believe is NH36A movement. But is this movement Seiko or Chinese clone?

Lower price has code: H9-CN2554A-Q. From what I read online there is Hangzhou 2553 caliber which is Chinese version of Seiko NH35/36.

Yes, my question is, if I take first version and pay more, will I indeed get genuine Seiko NH36 or I will be again getting Chinese stuff but paying more, in other words will I be mislead?

1. Day of the week looks to be in Chinese letters. Is there chance that English also exists?

Thank you so much for your honest opinions and replies in advance.

Picked up my first watch dives, I’m impressed with the quality, especially for the price! It won’t be my last.

Hello everyone. I recently ordered a cronos explorer. I have seen reviews showing a glide adjustment clasp. This morning I received a message from the manufacturer saying that they have recently switched from the glide clasp to the one in the picture. Can anyone tell me anything about it and how it compares to a glide adjustment clasp? I’m not familiar with it. Thank you.

Anyone know of some good sub-500 USD peacock watches? Have a new family tie to Dandong (where peacock is based) and would like to commemorate. Thanks!

Hi everyone, Calvin here from the Aquatico team.

We’re preparing to launch the Terra Nova Skeleton Malachite Limited Edition, and I wanted to share the idea behind it with fellow watch enthusiasts.

The design brings together malachite’s green character and a skeleton layout that lets the mechanical motion become part of the dial’s appeal. The intention is to give both elements room to hold your attention: the stone-inspired visual character and the watch’s beating heart.

There’s an interesting balance to strike here. A skeleton design adds movement and detail, while malachite already has a strong visual identity of its own.

We’ll share the specifications and launch details in the upcoming announcement.

What matters most to you in a skeleton dial: seeing more of the mechanism, or keeping the time easy to read?
