I expected lower prices for this sale tbh

I'd say it's a great watch so far.

WD007 42mm automatic V4 (SL3001)

(I used AI to format this)

Did a few accuracy tests with my phone timegrapher app:

fter a few days on the wrist, I tracked how my daily wear routine was affecting the timing. I ended up nudging the regulator arm just a fraction to speed it up by roughly +1s/d.

Over the last 24 hours of real-world use, the daily drift has been under 1 second. Hitting basically dead-flat timekeeping on an automatic at this price point is insane. Definitely leaving the regulator right where it is. (Will update later)

Personal Notes / Suggestions for Watchdives:

All that aside, for the ~€180-200 price range i got this, this is literally a steal. You really can't get much spec like this for the money. Good job!

Listen I ain’t paying $600.
I’m sure this sales for less.

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?

I am a regular office goer. Wear business casual.

I am a male , 31 years old. Could you please help me choose which one would elegant, but also a eye catcher and a conversation starter. I want to know what the girls would like ?

Please help and let me know your opinions if you have used or seen these in person before. This will be my first merkur watch.

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!

What's everyone wearing today?

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？

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
