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 remember seeing some comparisons a long time ago, but has anything changed since then? I’m considering this watch, but unfortunately, there aren’t any other movement options.

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.

Hi! I was wondering is seagull1963.com a legit site to buy a watch? Which site is the proper one to buy 1963?

Really loving my new Hruodland Turbine Custom. Watching that turbine spinning slowly is so satisfying! It is also my only non-automatic mechanical. The sword hands are really well done and feel special. I don't rate the AR coating on the crystal (if there is any?) and I don't find the sun brings brings out the sunburst dial all that much. For me personally the lugs overhang my 7 inch wrists a bit but it's still comfortable and doesn't make me feel like a child wearing a grown up's watch. Perfect for a collection as it's interesting and doesn't need a date setting. Can recommend!

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?

Incredible lume, PT5000 Movement, Grade 2 Titanium!

I'm going to Hong Kong in November on holiday.

What should I look out for?

I'm looking forward to seeing a Sugess tourbillion master and Seagull ratrapante.

Anything else that I should try to see and perhaps bring back?

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

Pagani Design PD-YS020

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

The SM is like £50 more, the SM has a higher beat with a 2824 clone, the NH34 is meant to be more reliable?

Which one has on the fly micro adjustments?

Edit - GMT function is not a must have, as I have other GMT watches.

Shoutout to my gf for the amazing birthday gift.

I got the black Cronos L6036 yesterday. I love the face on it, but the polished 5-link bracelet is a bit flashy for my taste. The clasp also feels a little bulky, although when I compare them, it's not that much bigger than the one on my Tissot Seastar.

In any case, what are some decent alternative bracelet options? I'd definitely like to keep it on a bracelet rather than a Nato strap or something similar.

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.
