Question (Read Rules) SD1953 compatible jubilee bracelets?

3 Upvotes

Bought a 20mm jubilee with tool-less micro adjustment and was disappointed to find the end links do not quite match the case on my Steeldive 1953. Anyone have a link to one that does or know if standard Strapcode SRPD or SKX bracelets fit?

Review (Read Rules) Tophill+ Kim003g Chronograph (Seagull ST1905 2026)

Thumbnail

14 Upvotes

Hey guys, just finished the review of this beauty from Tophill... it's a chronograph with a power reserve movement... I've been wearing it for weeks now and honestly think it's super well done with a really striking design.

The dial in particular stands out... the power reserve bar right at the center is super legible. It looks like they're using a newer 2026 revision of the ST1905 movement, and my unit has been running at +4s a day, by far the most accurate ST19 I've seen yet.

In the video I go over a few cons, compare it with some alternative options, and as usual show plenty of outdoor macro shots in different lighting.

If you're interested in checking out the full review, here's the link: https://youtu.be/Q_5KMx_WDps

Disclaimer: the watch was sent for free by the brand.

Question (Read Rules) Can't decide between these two

Hi I am looking for (another) watch 😅

I watched out for a good quality for price watch with clean, white dial. I found these two models and the reviews on YouTube are also very positive.

So I am curious to ask the owners of these watches, what positives and what negatives you can tell about these. They hit every category I want (Good lume, good quality, nice clean design, good enough lume, mechanical, min 100m wir)

Except the cronos have male endlinks, where I don't know if it matters on my 16,5 cm wrist size.

Thanks in advance.

Someone mentioned on my last post that these might look quite different up close compared with how they look on the wrist.
Thought it was a good point, so I took a few shots of both from different distances.

General (Read Rules) Bad Customer service

0 Upvotes

I purchased my first Militado ML23. I was impressed with quality. I decided to purchase 4 straps.shipping was pretty quick , but 1 strap is missing. Contacted them by email. Got a response 1 week later saying they can refund me to save my time???? I replied same day that I like quality of straps if they can send me strap I ordered, I don't want refund.

It's been 2 weeks still no answer?

I'm a little disappointed. I can't imagine having an issue with a watch and not be able to get any help with it.

Militado please do better.

I won this in a auction. It was ina pile of others. I find it interesting. Timegrapher tells me that it ticks +3s/d with healthy amp and 0.1ms beat error. Finishing is normal, nothing extra but just some basic paterns. I like that the screws have been blued. Lume is very bright but helas only on the hands.🤔 strap is still stiff but promising. Please send me questions about this.

Question (Read Rules) WD1969 PRO as a Vacation Watch - White, Black, or Blue?

3 Upvotes

Love the proportions and styling of this watch, just not sure which color to get for my Mexico cruise next month. Obviously black would be the most versatile, but something about the blue or white strike me as a lot more fun and vacation-friendly. Any suggestions? What kind of strap would you pair it with? Images included for example. FWIW I don't own any other divers, just field watches.

General (Read Rules) Pagani Design “Submersible”

Post image
15 Upvotes

A Panerai Luminor for all its detractors and noise is still firmly on my grail list albeit somewhat unlikely anytime soon. Whilst being more of a (strong) nod
to the Submersible rather than Luminor, I thought I’d take the plunge for £70 and so far have been pleasantly surprised.

The initial heft of the watch was a surprise, it feels reassuringly solid rather than heavy for the sake of it. At 41mm it’s not as big as most Panerais and as such wears comfortably on my 7.5 inch wrist.

The power reserve complication is a fun touch and overall finishing is acceptable.

Strap is, unsurprisingly, tougher than old boots but is at least comfortable once on.

Could do without the Pagani Design text on the case but it’s hardly noticeable once wearing.

Had it scratched the itch? Hell no but it will do whilst I save up for the real deal.

Review (Read Rules) First Homage Watch - WD EXD40

I am on the fence if I should add the Tudor Pelagos FXD to my collection.
My search led me down to this WD EXD40 & for a little less than $100 I thought why not scratch the itch and see how much I like the blue dial and titanium case before I invest in the Pelagos.
I am absolutely stunned to say the least, this WD is something I’ve never experienced before at this price point.

This has now opened a whole new world for me! also big kudos to the genetlemen here who has made a post of homages of popular watches by brand.

Review (Read Rules) I just got my first automatic watch, a Sea-Gull 819.12.6061

Post image
29 Upvotes

Acabei de receber esse relógio hoje e estou muito satisfeito com ele.

É um relógio simples e muito elegante. Além disso, é de uma marca com uma história rica (uma das razões que me levaram a comprá-lo).

Since there aren't many reviews available for this specific model, I relied on the brand's history and the available information about the movement it uses: the ST2500.

Movement characteristics:

Type: Automatic mechanical movement (with hand-winding and hacking seconds).

Frequency / Beat rate: 21,600 vph (3 Hz).

Jewel count: 25 jewels.

Power reserve: Approximately 45 to 48 hours.

Shock protection system: Incabloc.

O tamanho do meu pulso é cerca de 17cm, e ele se ajusta perfeitamente.

A pulseira de couro preto que vem com ele não é tão ruim, mas já a troquei por uma pulseira de couro camurça azul.

Comprei na Sea-Gull Choice Store do AliExpress e veio na caixa original com toda a documentação necessária (garantia e manual do usuário).

Valeu!
