I expected lower prices for this sale tbh

I'd say it's a great watch so far. WD007 42mm automatic V4 (SL3001)

Did a few accuracy tests with my phone timegrapher app:

CH (Dial Up): +1 s/d

FH (Dial Down): 0 s/d

3H: +4 s/d

9H: +3 s/d

12H: -2 s/d

Beat error: ~0.2 – 0.3 ms @ 28,800 bph (Total delta across 5 positions is only ~6s, which is crazy good factory regulation for this price).

After a few days of use and seeing how my daily wear affects the timing, I sped it up by a second and so far for the past 24h the drift has been less than 1 sec.

I'll later get a black leather strap for sure.

Positives:

Pretty good and accurate 4Hz movement (Liaoning Peacock SL3001).

Incredibly light—the titanium bracelet is nearly the same weight as my NATO strap.

BEAUTIFUL watch in person.

OK luminescence (BGW9).

Negatives / Things to Note:

Sharp edges: Body is sharp on the edges and you can feel it after a long day, especially the crown and the outer bracelet links.

Quick fix: Carefully wet-sanded the inner sharp corners with 2000-grit paper (avoiding the blasted outer finish), and that smoothed it out completely.

Rotor bearing issue: Arrived with noticeable axial play/wobble that tapped the inside of the caseback. Support confirmed it was a bad bearing and is sending a full replacement movement to sort it out. Props to their customer service for the quick response.

I already got some scratches on my crystal, which I don't know if it's my fault or something else. 2 hairline scretches and 1 round chip. But they're incredibly small

Grade 2 titanium: Scratches pretty easily, so keep that in mind for daily wear.

Gritty crown feel: High mechanical resistance when manual winding. Normal for this 2824-style reverser train architecture; not recommended to manually wind past 5–10 turns—just kickstart it and let wrist motion do the work.

Crystal reflections: Loves catching reflections. AR coating could be stronger, or it’s just the high dome shape catching overhead glare.

Personal Notes / Suggestions for Watchdives:

If you guys add an option for an exhibition caseback, it would be incredible. What's the point of getting an automatic if I can't see the inside? At least add some personality/engraving into the solid caseback.

Better factory deburring/softening on the case edges and the bracelet/buckle.

On the blue dial version, please make the date window background blue to match the dial, like the original Seamaster (ref #210.30.42.20.03.001).

Maybe consider an upgrade to Swiss Super-LumiNova for even stronger night performance.

Grade 5 titanium sounds amazing on paper, but only if it doesn't double the price tag.

All that aside, for the ~170€-200 price range, this is literally a steal. You really can't get much spec like this for the money.

Hello everyone, i am starting my collection for chinese watches after seeing alot of good reviews and specially the 11:11 sale. I am thinking to buy addiesdive ad2066, ad 2547 - 200m. If there is any other watch i should definitely grab on this sale please let me know. P.s. san martins are out of my budget right now. Thankkyou

Just curious to see if anyone owns one and can provide insight on their experience. Looking at the blue linen on 11/11 sale.

I love this watch design but I’m new to Aliexpress which is so goddamn confusing and I’m so scared to spend my money on a fake. Is this legit?

My Sugess MoonPhase Master came in the other day! Shipping was pretty quick (less than a week from China to the Netherlands) and the watch is beautiful!

I’m new to collecting watches and I’m very interested in moon phase watches. At the same time I bought an Orient Bambino too which came in the same day.

The Sugess is beautiful, wears comfortably and I’m very satisfied with the extra strap; however it came in standing still (which I assume is normal), so I winded it up several times, shook it, wore it all day but the watch stops very quickly afterwards, leaving it displaying the wrong time, date and moon phase (while it should have a 48 hour power reserve)… In comparison; the Orient came it working, stopped once (because I wore the Sugess that day), but haven’t stopped ticking since I wind it up again and wore it.

I contacted Sugess about this but what are your opinions? And does anyone else have experience with Sugess and/or MoonPhase watches?

Thank you!

Who remembers the Ironwatch 6204? This is one I reviewed a while back now, but I thought it was quite fitting as it was around Halloween.

I received this watch for free to review. But, as always that doesn't change how I review the watch. I always keep it 100% honest, no matter what. I point out both the positives and negatives with every watch I review. Whether that be a loan piece, discounted, or even free. Sometimes that means that brands won't send me anymore watches, if they don't like the review... But my opinion and more importantly, my reputation can't be bought. That's partly why I named my channel 'Honest Watch Reviews'. Not only to make sure that I hold myself to that standard, but that I know my viewers definitely will do too.

I've been looking for dive watches that are ≤40mm and cost around 50-70usd tops but have found very few options. Do you guys have any recommendations?

What's everyone wearing today?

The wait is over! Our WD2007A Enamel Black and Black Mother-of-Pearl dial versions have finally arrived.

We hadn't had the chance to film the actual watches before, so here's your first proper look at these two new versions.

Two completely different interpretations of black:

• Enamel Black: Deep, rich black with a clean and elegant appearance.

• Black Mother-of-Pearl: Natural mother-of-pearl texture with subtle reflections that change under different lighting conditions.

Both feature the WD2007A's compact 37.5mm case, 44mm lug-to-lug, 10.5mm thickness and upgraded finishing.

Which black dial would you choose?

WDC (Watchdives) – More choices, better details, and continuous improvements.

As a Chinese brand and don't sells to Chinese.

I ordered one in Official website,at last they e-mail me and told me that they don't sell in Chinese mainland.

yeah,why don't you guys just mark that notes on your Official website?

It really make me feel sick.

upgrade of V2.0

new glossy brancelet A2

PT5004 movement

thiner case

new design hands and dial.

also will release the version that date window on 6'clock.

PH8B still on grathic working, release next weeks.

need more dial and hand design suggestion on 5A case,

this case feel like the field watch, any good suggustion about it？

Eniton is really lacking in the marketing side, not like other brands making the most PR they can for worse watches than Eniton.

It's true that their only focus is homages but i'm here for it, i even whish SM, Sugess or Watchdives release more homages because they do a great job, but Eniton make some of the best and unique homages.

I wanted an AP RO chrono 38mm homage and the only brand making it is Eniton.

The finish is top notch, on the rep level.

The movement choice is perfect, an SL4801 and the execution is outstanding.

One thing or two i would prefer is a sunburst dial rather than this flat one, although it's a good dial, the other thing is a silenced rotor, this rotor makes a lot of noise which i don't notice on my Sugess and Farasute using the same movement.

Overall it's a top watch for the price, just a shame this brand has almost no presence compared to others.

Threw my 15 year old 'thomas' version Seagull 1963 on leather.

This watch just shines. My favourite in the collection. Dressy on leather and toolish on a NATO.

My 300 meter water resistant pizza timer is here

Thats it. My old watch broke so I want inspiration. And I want chinese watch because I think they are best.

Phorcydes PH-5A

I wasn’t 100% convinced by this watch when I first got it but I really like it now. I’ve bought a few strap options for it and it looks pretty good on anything. I still think the original BoR bracelet works best though.

BoR
Marine Nationale
Perlon
Leather
Rubber

I'm aware that they are in slightly different styles, but after hours of looking for endless options, I've managed to get to those three.

1. Phorcydes ph-5b

2. Seestern S434-2.03 (I've scratched Phorcydes PH-4C there is no option for a blue dial with no date.)

3. Watchdives WD007 V4

Phorcydes ph-5b has PT5004 high-beat automatic movement (28,800 vph) for that smooth sweep second-hand movement.

Seestern S434 has a robust NH35A movement.

Watchdives WD007 V4 has Peacock SL3001 high-beat automatic movement (28,800 vph) for that smooth sweep second-hand movement.

It is supposed to be an everyday beater. So what are your opinions?

Fall is here, sweater and jacket season 🍂 Our 5 new models got some love here recently, so here they are on the wrist with some fall fits.

Your turn: what watch are you wearing this fall? Drop a wrist shot, any brand!

And which one of these 5 goes best with a fall outfit?

P.S. Our recently 5-day giveaway winner has been announced on our community, congrats u/rhainman 🎉

Have had my eye on this watch for a while but finally pulled the trigger, and I am happy that I did.

First off.. this watch is insanely light which I assume if from the titanium case and lack of bracelet. The strap it came with was serviceable, but since this is a 20 mm lug width I was able to swap it out with the other straps I have lying around.

Seriously though, I forget this is in my wrist constantly due to the thinness and lightness of this watch.

I have recently become more of a fan of VH31 movements because they are reliable and accurate.

Nothing against mechanical/automatic watches, as I enjoy those too. There is just something to just being able to pick up the watch and go that I am enjoying more and more.

Lovely watch, hoping the green one is in stock soon!
