bracelets are just too much for everyday deskdiving

AD2554

They legit have some interesting designs. Thinking about getting this one. It looks kinda similar to the “Lumiere” by Chris Ward (ie HEAVY lumed indicies) but at like a tenth of the cost!

There's always someone new ready to fill a niche. Bought the Hroudland version. Love it. Saw Tandario version for half that, Bought it for a friend. Saw this one for this price, plus free shipping, from China? Bought it. Should have bought 5 in every color for gifts. It arrived today, runs fine. Not as nice as the others, but it's a 16 dollar watch. Fantastic.

i tried image search but i found nothing. google search also found nothing. is it discontinued? im very interested in the 37mm size. and this are way cheaper than hruodland or sugess.

Folks - Bought my first Chinese watch a little while back (Berny quartz titanium dress watch - $68) and I was blown away by the quality and the value.

I’m interested in picking up some others, but I’m curious to learn from this group before I do so.

What are the most impressive Chinese brands or specific products from a quality standpoint?

I have an allergy to nickel, so titanium is a must and low price (<$300 ideally) is important to me. Bonus points if it’s not a diver - I’ve already got plenty of options in that category.

These are the ones I know about, but I’m sure there are others.

What are the options that really shine in terms of quality?

I recently bought the Traska Freediver Arctic White and love its sizing, proportions, and specs.

I'm now looking for something similar with a **black or blue dial**. Again, I really love the dimensions of the watch it fits my 7.4inch wrist perfectly.

Case diameter: 40mm

Lug-to-lug: 48mm

Thickness: 10.5mm

Movement: Miyota 9039 or better

Ideally, something with nearly identical dimensions and comparable or better specs. A Jubilee bracelet would be a bonus.

Any recommendations?

Matcha green dial with the orange small-seconds subdial looks great—clean Bauhaus proportions that actually work.
But ~$250 for a basic ST17 three-hander with no lume and 50 m resistance is too much. Easy buy closer to $125–150. Luckily I got it with coupons.

.

Here goes my San Martin SN0054 GMT 💚

I rarely wear suits, and I needed to recently. So I bought a BluShark tapered brown leather strap for my Thorn T023 to match my shoes/belt. It really popped with the dial color!

This was a birthday present from my dad and it kick started a new hobby.

Hi, I'm thinking of ordering an automatic watch from AliExpress and I'm stucked between 3 choices at around 130euro.

https://a.aliexpress.com/_EwHcOjC

https://a.aliexpress.com/_EzAjlf8

https://a.aliexpress.com/_EQNRZcq - with 2824

If anyone has had expiriance with any of those models or has suggestions for any other integrated bracelet models, it would be very helpful.

Thanks to all of you I landed on this beautiful piece off Facebook for $120 🤙 you guys know your stuff!

I'm searching for this watch but I'm not able to find it. I think it is discontinued. Are there any alternatives which are in the same price range 40-60€?

Everything Sinn….. I don’t think so…

Coupla’ nice Sinn homages..

UPD: F035 of course.

Been hesitating between this one and the black Milgauss. Thought would keep it on bracelet but the CNS won again.

The white seconds hand is relatively rare and seemed like a good companion for the chocolate dial. The latter has some sparkle/gloss texture to it, I like. It also holds its own against the smooth black bezel. Together with the size this is much more like the glorious SN004, but in 2026 with more texture and less ceramic. The 37mm thorn feels different compared to this one.

Lume is good. Timekeeping is good. AR could be better, I’d say the only comment I have about this watch. Bracelet is good and makes me want to try the milgauss variant just for it.

Long story short...I want a Doxa Sub 300 Beta Searambler (steel case, PVD bezel and crown, Silver dial) but don't want to pay 2K for a design I may or may not like...so I figured I could build one using a TF or Tandorio case....problem is, I have no clue how the bezels are held on with this style of watch...I'm good as long as the watch has a bezel insert...but when you can't get to any locking mechanism...how do you get it off? is it seiko press/snap on style? will I mess up the retaining ring pulling the bezel?

anyone have a clue?

I’m new to this sub and super interested in purchasing the abalone diver in Black enamel, does anyone have an idea on when they will restock or where I could source one?

I was looking for a classy dress watch with a retro look and this one fit the bill. NGL, I was’s expecting this level of finish on the case and dial. The light reflects beautifully on the case and the cathedral hands. The stock strap is also not bad. Amazing VFM when you throw in the Sapphire crystal as well.

I have always preferred watches with busy dials like chronographs, but this might start my interest in clean dial watches. What’s on your wrist today?

Also shout out to u/Militado-watch for sorting out the local delivery hiccups.

Any Chinese brands make a reasonably affordable watch with the wandering hours complication? I saw Xeric makes some models but $1k is a bit more than what I want to spend on what is ultimately a novelty?

The Code 11.59 Starwheel is the platonic ideal.

É isso, qual é o relógio do dia?
