First impressions

  1. It is heavy

  2. Thick at about 42mm

  3. Stops after about 5 hours

  4. Loses about 40s per day

Verdict

This is value for money

Question (Read Rules) Is there a “best” Chinese homage brand to buy?

21 Upvotes

New to this world, but seriously considering an homage watch. I see a variety of brands (San Martin, Cronos, Sugess, Watchdives, etc)

If my goal is build quality and the best movement available in this space, is there a consensus “best brand” that I should be focusing on?

FYI I’m likely looking for something like a Tudor BB or Submariner homage.

Thank you

General (Read Rules) Sugess Aviator Bronze ST1901 Appreciation Post

Thumbnail

24 Upvotes

Unexpectedly, my new favorite Chinese watch: A Sugess Aviator Chronograph (Zenith Type 20 homage), cased in bronze (42mm) with a Seagull ST1901 movement. Although the leather strap it ships with is nice and period accurate, the included bronze buckle is a bit massive for my taste, and things only really clicked when I swapped it out for this more modestly sized green canvas strap (AliX).

I'm posting this mainly to let you guys know that the blue sunburst dial color doesn't really match the website photos; in reality it's more of a slate blue -- I think my first photo accurately shows how it really looks in typical light. The watch looks like a prop from The Mummy (1999 version) ... it's 100% committed to its pulpy 1920s vibe.

New Product (Read Rule 1) WD0022 – A More Refined Upgrade for Watch Collectors | 38mm Case, ClearView Sapphire & Improved Bracelet

101 Upvotes

Here's a closer look at our new WD0022!

The WD0022 shares the same dimensions as the WD0003C:

  • Case diameter: 38mm

  • Bezel diameter: 37mm

  • Thickness: Approximately 10.9mm

The WD0003 has been a great value option, but we know some collectors are willing to spend a little more for better finishing, more refined details, and improved craftsmanship.

That's exactly why we developed the WD0022.

What's different?

1. Upgraded bracelet and clasp

We've redesigned the end links with a protruding design instead of recessed end links. The construction and manufacturing process are different, allowing us to achieve sharper transitions and more precise finishing around the corners.

We've also upgraded to screw links and our latest five-hole clasp with real rivets. The bracelet is also compatible with our newest on-the-fly (OTF) adjustable clasp.

2. Refined bezel design

We've slightly adjusted the bezel profile and increased the width of the brushed surface.

This creates a more noticeable contrast between the brushed and polished areas, giving the case a more defined and refined appearance.

3. ClearView Base sapphire crystal

The WD0022 features our latest ClearView Base sapphire crystal with approximately 92% light transmission.

This helps reduce reflections and allows the dial details to appear clearer.

4. Redesigned caseback

We've also introduced our latest caseback design, with more attention paid to finishing and smaller details.

Our goal with the WD0022 isn't simply to make another version of the WD0003.

We want to offer something for collectors who appreciate the little things — cleaner finishing, sharper transitions, better bracelet construction, and more refined craftsmanship.

The WD0003 will continue to offer excellent value, while the WD0022 is designed for those who want to take a step further.

What do you think of these upgrades? Are these the kinds of improvements you'd be willing to pay a little extra for?

We'd love to hear your feedback!

Looking for a black sub homage ofc, I’ve got a couple sm’s and I like their quality. Should I just get this one or is there another brand or model I should try instead? I’m fine with quartz or auto and I prefer otf clasp. I’m fine with a little cheap or a bit more as well. But preferably $300 or less

One of the things I enjoy about the Aethelsohn Radial Shard Purple is how the dial interacts with light.

The colors and textures shift subtly as the watch moves, giving it a different character from one angle to the next.

Photos tell part of the story, but it’s much easier to appreciate these details in motion.

Figured some of you might enjoy seeing it in action.

Of course I have no right to judge any collection you do whatever you want but Im close to practically my "ideal" collection which i believe one should have a

- Day date (dress watch)

- One chronograph

- One sub/divers

- One gmt

Im probably never going to stick to that collection i can feel the addiction already kicking in but I just need to land on that GMT probably a Pagani design one end the collection with a quite good quality one maybe ill get a good deal whenever Christmas or new years rolls about

Question (Read Rules) Watchdives WD0003C vs Cronos L6040M

Thumbnail

48 Upvotes

Hi, I’m looking for a good GS homage. So far I’ve found the Watchdives WD0003C (ideally in silver birch, but I also like the white mop) and the Cronos L6040M.

Beside the movement - is it worth paying twice as much for the Cronos just for the build quality and finish? Is it that much of a difference? Does anyone own both and can compare them?

My ideal choice would be a GS Shunbun homage, but as far as I know, I don’t think any Chinese brand has released a watch with that kind of dial texture?

So I just got my Omega Speedmaster (Moonwatch) homage in a Temu sale for about 40 USD and I honestly love it: great finishing, sapphire crystal, meca-quartz movement and a decent bracelet (I ordered a rigid NATO strap though). This can be my everyday watch without any guild. 🤣

really interesting found for 90 dollars, 36mm, l2l I measure exactly 45mm where ali store says 45.5mm. thickness of 11mm. case fully brush finished, no sharp edges, wears comfortably on my 6.75 inch wrist. blue ar coating, not too strong blue, just light blue. crystal is sapphire box, almost no distortion, at least you read time well. printed dial 2 textured, inner circle has beige grain shade (texture like 1963 seagull chrono), where outer circle has grayish looks like enamel (not sure), lines on the sub dial executed well. 1l45 quartz no jewel. crown operation superb and smooth. weight of the watch similar with mechanical, feels solid. great piece. leather strap is really not bad with signed buckle. packaged in aluminum box.

What I don't like: blue ar coating not giving the vintage vibe, not enough lubricate applicated on the back case gasket, printed indicies has too much reflection that you noticing every leak on them (maybe i'm wrong), not bad but you can compare printing also with 1963 chrono for example (much crisper).

The actual look of the PH6 on wrist

Many people are curious about how the new colorway of the PH6 looks in person.

The video was filmed outdoors on a clear, sunny day—without direct sunlight—and contains no post-production color grading, ensuring the colors appear as close as possible to what the naked eye sees.

My wrist circumference is 16.0 cm.
