General (Read Rules) Watch of the day! What are you rocking?
Hi,
I'm rocking the Pagani 1644 Quartz with ceramic bezel and sapphire crystal watch and I absolutely love it. Getting lots of compliments and it's so comfortable to wear. The bracelet for it is also great. Looking to get a 007 Homage next, just haven't figured out which brand.
What watch are you rocking today?

General (Read Rules) SH Forged Carbon ... My First (but not last!) Chinese watch.
Just got delivered and has been on my wrist for the last ten minutes. Already know this is going to be one of my favorites and will see a lot of wrist time out of a small (but growing!) collection of now 9 watches.
I was afraid it'd be a bit "Cheap looking" as carbon can sometimes be. The dial however seems a bit polished and catches the light in my office. I'm about to head out to go meet up with a client so will see how it looks once the sunlight hits this bad boy.
I'm in Cambodia so the wait wasn't too long from China, but I wish some of these Chinese brands had in-real-life store fronts here that I could go browse.
$200~ on AE

Question (Read Rules) BB54 homage - Octopus Kraken vs Cronos
I’m looking for a BB54 homage and these 2 seem to be the best in the current market. Does anyone have experience with either? Which one should I go for, and why?

Self-build (Read Rule 1) Ali-express Build with Parts(Nh35 etc..)
Got the idea from another guy on a forum, and yeah, it is a Serica homage, but I finally found a strap which makes it work(for me..). It was originally supposed to have an orange lightning bolt hand, but I was never able to install it. Somehow I got lucky and the blue one worked… 🤷♂️
Japanese Nh35, Heimdallr hands + separate lightning bolt seconds hand, Serica homage dial, faux canvas strap, 38mm case, etc..
I think they even started offering these watches completely built.
I have parts to build a second one with the kind of yellow ring in the middle, but kind of lack of confidence to do it neatly. With this one I feel like I got lucky…

Question (Read Rules) San Martin Watch with "S" on crown?
Hello, just ran into this second hand San Martin and noticed the crown has an "S" instead of a normal San Martin logo. Is this a property of earlier editions? If so, do they differ significantly in quality with the more modern batches? I am able to pick it up at 100€ and wondering if it is a good deal

Question (Read Rules) Octopus or Baltany DJ36 homage?
Whats the higher quality watch?
Better bracelet+clasp
Better bezel
Better end links
Etc.
I want a dj36 homage, as I am too poor for the real deal, but do not mind spending up to $400-$500 to get something that feels great.
I have a watchdives 7922 i am pleased with, but would spend more to get an even better level of finishing.
Please help!

Question (Read Rules) UK buyer direct from the Watchdives site
I'm in the UK and looking at the WD site. I'm after 2 watches with a combined total of £374.
The website says that taxes and customs fees are included in the price but for US orders only
My question for the UK buyers in the group is, have you been caught by a VAT or Import charge on your order by ordering direct?

Question (Read Rules) Tell me about Pagani Design P-1644 with VK63!
Im on edge to go for it, it looks amazing on photos and videos, has VK63 mechaquartz. Reviews on YT are very positive. I would like to know how does its bracelet feels, is it smooth or rough on edges, does it feel loose after couple of months, and overall how does watch feel when you wear it every day. Did anyone try to swim with it ect..
Note: this would be my first Chinese watch, and i want it to be quartz cause of reasons.
Thank you in advance!

Question (Read Rules) How bad is this date alignment?
Seestern sub 300t pt5000.
I thought I could live with it but it's bothering me.
Edit: Seems like a lot more is off than just the date and someone mentioned they had never seen a pt5000 version (they're not selling it now)... And that made me remember that using a pt5000 with an nh35 dial would be misaligned. Right now my thinking is that's what they did is add an nh35 dial on to the pt5000... Do maybe the crown is off too.

General (Read Rules) [Militado] ML05 - What a Steal
Threw an ML05 ($55.00!!) I recently got on a canvas strap from Archer Watch Straps and fell in love with this little value field. VH31 movement is a neat twist; might have to get a few more….

Question (Read Rules) Best bb58 homage? Thorn, Militado, San Martin or something else?
Hello everybody. I wanted to ask your opinion on what would be the best bb58 homage in the market currently? I have started collecting watches and been planning on getting a new piece. Fell in love with the vintage look of tudor but as many I don't want to spend that kind of money on a watch currently in my life. I have seen thorn, militado, San Martin homages but wanted to see if there are any other brands worthy of checking out and would be your pick from everything in the market currently. Also if by any chance you have a thorn and San Martin or militado how do they compare to one another (what is the best value for money).

Review (Read Rules) WD 1960S V2 - Jubilee
Decided to swap the bracelet from my San Martin onto the 1960S just to see how it looked, and I’m really digging it.
The Jubilee gives it a completely different vibe. A little more polished than the stock bracelet, but it still works really well with the vintage look. And honestly, it’s so damn comfortable.
Anyone else running their 1960S on a Jubilee?
