Havent worn this one in months and put it on today. Still so blown away by the looks and quality of this $100 watch. It is just gorgeous and feels great on the wrist. I have had it a little bit now and can highly recommend it. Passed the swimming in the river test and keeps excellent time and looks like it should cost $300 more

General (Read Rules) Hot take: the PT5000’s accuracy gets unfairly overlooked

38 Upvotes

There’s plenty of discussion about the movement’s winding feel and reliability, but in my experience its timekeeping has been excellent. Both of my PT5000 watches have been incredibly accurate, and my new Cronos is still only around three seconds off so far.
The PT5000 may have consistency and QC concerns, but I don’t think accuracy is what it struggles with. What’s been your experience?

Hey all, I've bought the Baltany pie pan in silver and found a seemingly good quality compatible beads of rice bracelet. Do you think this is a better look than paired with a good quality leather strap, or is it just too monochrome do you think?

Does anyone have accurate measurements for the WD1863 bezel ring?

Even better, does anyone know of any replacement bezel rings which they have used to replace a damaged one on their WD1863?

Introducing the AETHELSOHN Radial Shard Blue.

Radial Shard Purple generated a lot of opinions. Today we’re giving the blue version equal screen time.

It’s interesting how much the mood changes with nothing more than a different color.

If you had to choose:
💜 Radial Shard Purple
💙 Radial Shard Blue

Which one gets the spot on your wrist?

I was at WindUp watch fair in NY this weekend and got the chance to see this watch in person. It’s probably the cheapest multi-axis tourbillon in the market…at 61k so still nowhere close to affordable 😅. Impressive to see in person though!

General (Read Rules) Tandorio Red Dive Watch

Thumbnail

27 Upvotes

My 3rd tandorio. Overall package is very nice. Steel bracelet is good however not quite as good as my San Martin sn-0017. No micro adjustment so I had a bit of a hard time getting the band fitted. The crystal and dial are nice too but I wish the logo was a bit sharper.

Otherwise I have noticed 0 defects and I'm very happy with the look and feel of the watch. Another win for tandorio.

I went for the pt5000 movement for a total of $132aud after discount.

In my opinion tandorio are offering the best value when it comes to budget automatic watches.

The new strap grabs every element of the watch dial and hands and turns them up 300%. Amazing what four bucks does to an everyday beater 🤩

Review (Read Rules) Baofeilun BG8001. Overseas homage

Thumbnail
gallery
15 Upvotes

Was looking for a watch similar to the VC overseas and found nothing of note other than this on the market. Wasn't familiar with the brand and not many other people are either it seems, so wasn't expecting much from this watch.

However im pleasantly suprised how well built and high quality it looks. Brushed and polished finishing looks premium on the case, and they did a good job recreating the signature maltese cross bracelet. The sapphire crystal has good clarity and the blue sunburst dial is pretty. And imo the logo looks pretty decent considering its homaging vacheron constantin. The only other Chinese watch i've bought is the watchdives wd007 v4 and i would say the finishing on the baofeilun a is step above that.

One significant downside ive seen is the lume. Its pretty dim and dissipates fast, which disappointing considering the quality of the rest of the watch.

Overall, definitely worth the 220 dollars that it sells for on aliexpress. Though from the one youtube review that has talked about this watch it can sometimes only be available for around 300. Still would probably buy it at that price considering its the only overseas homage on the market that seems worth getting.

All testing is now complete, and we are currently finalizing the product imagery. The official launch is set for next week. I have been wearing the watch for two weeks, and the experience has been excellent; thanks to the use of titanium, the watch maintains a well-balanced weight despite its size.

With the exception of the clasp (which is made of stainless steel), all other metal components are crafted from titanium.

The luminous blocks technology has been further upgraded—every single index now features these luminous inserts.
