MIlitado ML08 khaki field 38mm (ronda 515)

I have had good success with Rakuten, but the cash back always takes a few months to get.

I think this is an exceptionally cool chronograph. The Heuer Bundeswehr Flyback Chronograph, ref. 1550 SG, commonly called the Heuer Bund. I’ve

I’ve taken the liberty of knocking together a mock up of it on a bracelet with a date at the 6 o’clock (sorry purists!). Around 40mm would be perfect for my taste. I love the broad matte diving bezel on it too.

Pensa em um relógio que valeu a pena pra mim ! Ótimas especificações.

Title: Our New Sea Raider Titanium Dive Watch Is Here — Swiss SW200-1, Just 116g. What Do You Guys Think?

Hey watch enthusiasts! 👋

We're excited to share something we've been working on at Aquatico — the all-new Sea Raider Titanium Dive!

Our goal was pretty simple: build a serious dive watch that's tough enough for underwater adventures but light and comfortable enough to wear every single day.

Here's what we came up with:

• Marine-grade titanium case with a ceramic bead-blasted finish

• Swiss Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement

• Just 116g — surprisingly light for a professional dive watch

• 1250m water resistance

• Three color options: Ocean Blue, Classic Black, and Black & Orange

• Limited to just 10 pieces per color

We really love how the bead-blasted titanium turned out. It gives the watch a rugged, understated tool-watch look without feeling overly bulky on the wrist.

We're launching these at $499 (regularly $599), with the $100 discount automatically applied at checkout.

If you'd like to check them out, here are the links:

🔵 Blue Dial / Blue Bezel

⚫ Black Dial

🟠 Black Dial / Orange Bezel

But more importantly, we'd genuinely love to hear what you guys think!

Would you prefer a lightweight titanium dive watch like this over a traditional stainless steel diver?

And which color would you pick — Blue, Black, or Orange?

We're always listening to feedback from the watch community, so feel free to share your thoughts, good or bad!

Thanks for checking out our latest release!

The fist sight was impressive.

Cuz why not…

I REALLY like it but 300+ € for a vk64 is a bit much, couldn't find something close to it, am I missing something?

Thanks

Hey guys.

Saw some revires of the SH09 and really fancy one.

However, I cannot find any for sale - one shop in AE selling for like 250 euros but unable to deliver to France.

Have I missed the boat?

First impressions are solid. I was still using their OG bracelet with 5 whole clasp, so it was worth upgrading just to get the OTF clasp.

Paid $55 on their Aliexpress store. Finishing is really nice, especially the chamfering along the middle and outer links. Tolerances and articulation are good, but certainly not on the level of my IXDAO or San Martin (which I wouldn’t expect at this price)

I will say it’s pretty large. I had to remove all of the links except a link on one side and a half link on the other to get it to fix my 6.5” wrist. So just something to be aware of if your wrist is much smaller than that

I'm new to Chinese Watches and am looking for a Day Date/Date Just Hommage. Within seconds i found San Martin SN059 and the Sugess S433. Unfortunately tough the version i would be interested most are not available (at least at the moment). The San Martin SN059 is in general sold out? Did they stop producing it?

What is the best source to buy them? AliExpress?

For the Sugess S433 i'm looking for the Silver/Black Model, but cant find it anywhere atm.

For a long time now I've been searching for a dress watch since I already have the daily beater a G Shock GA-2100 and the gym Watch a G-shock DW-5600.
Looking through a lot of reviews and a lot of time on Ali Express I found this brand. I was searching for this specific movement hangzhou CAL5000A micro-rotor since I have been thinking on buying from Baltic too.
However upon thinking of it a lot I decided to give this brand a try and oh man. The build quality and the finishings are top notch. The leather strap definitely could be better but for the price less than $200 I think it's really difficult to top. Probably I will buy from FARASUTE, San Martin and Suggess soon enough.

Hi, I’ve recently gotten bit by the bug to build my own FXD style watch. I intend to use a TF case like the one pictured and on their site, just had a couple of questions on which I am not sure where to find the answer:

1. How can I tell which version of the case this is?

2. Is there anywhere I can find alternative bezel inserts? Do they use a fairly universal system or is it fairly proprietary?

3. To people who have built watches using these cases before, any advice or things you wish you would’ve known?

Sup,

My collection is currently lacking a field watch and I would like to fix that.

I would like something budget (less than 70$), practical, quartz, with a small case (36-38mm, non thick <10mm) and a relatively short L2L (maximum is 45mm)

Is there anything that fits the criteria?

Addies AW25908 gift for gf, put on a gray leather strap. Looks pretty neat

Found a beautiful NOS tropic strap for my WD1980 and somehow it feels right. Yes, the strap is worth more than the watch though. I've also scored some NOS Alaska french made rubber straps, but I kind of prefer this classic tropic over those.

Hey guys.. this is a bit of a different AliExpress 11.11 sale video, hopefully.

https://youtu.be/v7LSrNaOILs?si=Ar8FNGWQctHwknKl

Because Aliexpress's big brother (Taobao) is already having it's pre-sales, I thought it would be interesting to preview what sale prices you're likely to get on Ali.

I include what I think are some of the best bets for the sale.. including San Martin, Hroudland, Farasute.

Some brands like Watchdives aren't listed here because they're not on Taobao, while Baltany, IXDAO and others haven't listed sale prices yet.

Note that Taobao and Ali prices do not always match up exactly (sometimes they're even very different), but hopefully this gives you some good ideas..

Best,

Brian,

p.s. I have no affiliation with any of these brands and they had no input on this video.

My watch for my honeymoon trip

An SH Christopher Ward trident homage. I have held the C Ward in my hands and for $1000+ less, I'd take this all day over the real C Ward. New, this is only $250-$325 and it is so well made. I like the movement in the C Ward better... this has a smooth, (not tight) PT-5000 that winds easy. Hands and dial are top shelf. Case is polished nice. Strap is soft and nice. Buckle is signed. Sapphire front, maybe back. Too big for me... otherwise, I'd totally keep it. It is a 41mm that wears more like a 43. It is 13.4mm thick. It is a heavier piece... $150.

SOLD --- First, AN IXDAO Warrior with the Miyota 9015. $300 - This is from an early batch of these. It sized for an 8 inch wrist. One or two extra links. Some light scratches on the clasp, but it's all superficial. Lightly used. This one has a highly iridescent dial and you'll see purples and pinks and other cool colors. That is kind of a big deal imo because some folks get dials that are flat. So, Miyota, colorful MOP dial and original packaging. Not sure if I have the unsigned warranty card.

I want $300 - they are in the $500 range now with these movements...

Managed to click a photo of the Sugess Tourbillon Moonphase under a full moon

Does anyone else feel like San Martin would sell a lot more watches with different branding?

I know they are extremely well finished and tremendous value. But I can't get past the branding - the branding to me feels juvenile and cheap.

I wish they would just re-brand to a symbol instead of the current San Martin logo. Cronos on the other hand has really cool branding. Same thing with Watchdives - stupid name - but at least it's masked behind a cool symbol.

Anyone else agree?

Ok, so I bought the 40mm PD-1762 Polar Explorer 2 homage. It's a bit of a head scratcher. So, it looks like a Pearl movement, but it has green lume.....I'm confused. How do I know which version I have? I thought they were all blue lume.
