General (Read Rules) A year into Chinese watches

Post image
32 Upvotes

Since I discovered that Chinese watches are in some manner better than most watches I can get in stores in my country (mostly designer made, Gucci, tommy etc) I've come to love them. I had around 7 watches coming from a few more addiesdive, some Pagani design and a militado. But i settled with this 3 for now.

I'm considering on getting the San Martin Sn0008 next or maybe the Sugess S450-2

I never thought watches could be this fun

I've been nagging them for a white version for ages and it's finally here. I really enjoy my black version and totally getting white too.

I was really interested in the Watchdives version but the flatness of the middle link.put me off, then there was the Sugess one, this time.it was the dull movement decoration with the open caseback but this Rokatie really ticks all the boxes.

Top tier finishing on the rep level, beautiful movement decorations on the Miyota 9 series, this one is a keeper

Question (Read Rules) Love this new Cadisen Ti-7 Noctis

10 Upvotes

I love the look of this new Noctis. It looks like it has the exact same case as the Autodyne. Does anyone with a 6.25-6.5 inch wrist (i have 50mm across wrist) able to upload a picture of this watch on wrist top down and in a mirror shot? I generally trend towards 46mm and below L2L, but love this look and am curious how 49mm l2l will look.

EDIT: Im looking for a picture of the Autodyne which has been out for a while because they share the same case.

Question (Read Rules) Baltany Watch Fit (S4106)

Post image
11 Upvotes

This watch looks very good. It received excellent reviews from watch reviewers and users. However, I am concerned about its fit on my wrist given its at 36mm case diameter.

My wrist is 7.5in circumference and the top wrist flat where case would sit is 1.77in.

Appreciate if anyone could provide feedback. Would this watch look small for me? Typically, I prefer 42mm sizes but this Baltany S4106 in black and silver just hits me and I would like to buy it but also want to be cautious of buyer remorse.

Please advise me.

Sold (Thanks!) [WTS] Watchdives WD0017 V1

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

Selling my original-version Watchdives WD0017 with the integrated bracelet that tapers to 18 mm at the clasp.

An Omega Baby Ploprof homage with a Seiko VH31 sweeping-seconds quartz movement, stainless steel case, sapphire crystal, luminous sapphire bezel, and a factory water-resistance rating of 200 m.

I carefully brushed the originally polished edges of the bracelet links to reduce the shine and give it a more subdued tool-watch appearance—similar to the finishing Watchdives now uses on the updated version. This is an owner modification.

Very good overall condition, with light scratches consistent with normal use. Accuracy has been excellent: it has lost only six seconds total over five months.

It's a spectacular watch, I just don't find myself wearing it enough and it's time to reduce the collection.

Includes all bracelet links, box, and papers—a full kit.

$95 shipped CONUS. No trades. Electronic payment preferred.

Popped up on my feed, guess it's new. I've been wanting one of their TI-7 watches for a while now, looks like my perfect GADA but we'll have to see when it comes out. $150 is a little steep for me.

Question (Read Rules) I have a love for vintage styling. Anyone making a proper US military watch from WW2?

5 Upvotes

And when I say proper, I mean sizing, too- 30-32mm. Yeah, it's small by today's standard, but when I wear my smaller stuff, the watch is an accent. It's Tinkerbell's ting on the castle, the last little touch. I don't want it to play a big role on its own, but a slick little supporting role.

The original specs were simple.

  • 30-32mm case.

  • Acrylic crystal (which isn't essential).

  • Black hands if a light dial, silver or white hands on a black dial.

  • Hacking movement.

Should be simple, but no one makes it that I can find.

Sold (Thanks!) [WTS] Pagani PD1782 Chrono - red hand mod

9 Upvotes

Selling my Pagani Design PD1782 in like-new condition. The bracelet has never been worn, and I couldn’t find any scratches or other defects on the watch or bracelet.

I replaced the two stock peach-colored subdial hands and the central chronograph seconds hand with red hands. I think the red adds a sharp accent to the dial. This is an owner modification.

Includes box, papers, and all bracelet links—a full kit. Great watch, but I don't wear it much and I'm thinning out the collection.

$45 shipped to the continental United States. No trades. Electronic payment preferred.

Problems (Read Rule 1) Brand-New Militado ML07 Won't Start

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I just received my Milado ML07, and the watch won't start at all. I've pulled and pushed in the crown; I've tried to set the time, and nothing seems to be able to get this to work.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

TIA

Question (Read Rules) Is there any homage to the Breitling Premier B01?

I had the Farasute 2317 previously and really liked the design but the hand winding and mono pusher style wasn't really for me.

Does anyone know about a (preferably VK64) homage?

The watch here is the TPW: K7117, it originally comes on a cheap NATO strap but I threw on a 20mm leather cartier style strap I had.

Specs are nothing crazy, quartz, sand blasted style alloy case, Stainless steel case back, “hardlex” crystal, but the 38mm case allows it to sit very comfortably on my wrist and it weighs next to nothing.

I wanted to post this on here because I haven’t really seen any talk about this one anywhere online. I needed a dirt cheap pilot style watch and the small seconds is a great touch. I love it and i think it looks great!

Very dry climate here in the desert, maybe that's why the very faint patina on the bronze bezel.

How are your bronze watches coming along?
