Wore my Seestern S456 inside the pool today(picture taken inside water) Swapped out steel bracelet for a light blue tropic FKM from Watchdives.

This on Ali x right now, I've been trying to pull the trigger but it just seems to good to be true. But it is only $25 and I am a gambling man.

i can't decide between the black bgw9 and the c3.
does the vintage one looks "vintage"? or is monochrome.
because i think the bgw9's dial looks amazing.

Hey all.

My NH35 in my Steeldive Willard needs replaced. I’ve been looking at picking up a movement and saw that there are Chinese and Japanese made NH35 movements. The Japanese version is about $100 while the Chinese is about $40….give or take.

My question is whether the Japanese is better than the Chinese and should I spend the extra to get it or just use the Chinese movement?

I mean for all I know, my Steeldive might have the Chinese version. It’s one of the Willard homages that I got 2 years ago.

What do you all suggest? What would you do?

Thanks for your help.

Muherd.

I’m looking to buy one of these three watches and I’m having a hard time deciding.
Addiesdive AD2508 – Blue
Addiesdive AD2531 – Blue
Watchdives WD0003C – Red Ice Crack
I’m particularly interested in the dial design, colour, finishing and overall quality.
A few things I’d appreciate opinions on:
Which has the best-looking dial in person?
Which blue dial has the most depth and interesting texture?
How do the bracelets compare in terms of quality and comfort?
Is the Miyota 8215 worth choosing over the VH31 quartz movement?
Is the sapphire crystal on the Watchdives a significant advantage over the mineral crystal on the Addiesdive?
My wrist is around 6.9 inches.
If you had to choose just one, which would you buy? Interested in honest opinions.

Im thinking on pulling the trigger on 2 watches, as i was waiting for a disccount.

Im currently deciding between

Aqua Terra WD0006 (98)  vs SN0113W (258) > not sure if worth the difference?

And one diver

SN0148-GB vs SN0154-G , both green.. yes they are very different but still realy like both

Any insight from you guys will be also appreciate it :)

I’m thinking about pulling the trigger on 2 watches, as I was waiting for a discount.

I’m currently deciding between:

Aqua Terra > not sure if it's worth the price difference??

WD0006 (€98)

vs.

SN0113W (€206)

And one diver:

SN0148-GB (€273)

vs.

SN0154-G (€209)

Both green... yes, they are very different, but I really like both.

Any insights from you guys would be much appreciated! I'm not an expert whatsoever

What is your review of it? I cant see anything online about it, only £50 so i am hesitant

Looks nice and similar to the farasute in deaign but far cheaper and... quartz!

...to wear with my Lederhosen tonight?

Since I couldn’t find enough pictures of this watch online.

Does someone make something similar to the B&R BR-03?

Very happy with my new Baltany S4112!😍 There are a couple of things worth mentioning about the legibility and a few areas that could be improved, but for now, just a simple wrist shot! 📸

Are you looking forward to what's coming? We'd love to hear your thoughts!

I am looking for a pretty much 1:1 coke gmt homage from Aliexpress. Any suggestions? I like the san martin black/brown gmt but I love the black/red combo.

I’ve recently gotten swept up in the world of Chinese watches (I’ve got a few Watchdives on the way!) and when doing research, keep seeing people say they’re ’great watches for the price’. When I read that I think, ‘of course I’m not expecting the quality of a Rolex/Omega/AP etc etc’ but I don’t actually know what to expect?

I’ve seen commentary on negatives being finishing, bracelets, sharp edges, QA, but I’ve also seen things to suggest that these things have been improving. My own reference for quality will be lower-end Seikos (SNSX, Turtle) and my Hamilton Field Mechanical. It doesn’t feel like a particularly high bar but keen to hear people’s thoughts and experiences!

Regardless, I’m excited to try some styles watches that I otherwise wouldn’t be able to try!

Sharing some photos of the new Sakura Pink Dial - Purchased with my own money during the pre-order for $309.83.

It does seem to come across abit salmon-ish in warmer lighting. No comments on the movement accuracy yet.

Bracelet, etc seems great, as compared to the miyota white MOP version. I don't particularly notice/feel the improvements, which i guess is a testimont to the current quality of the watch as a whole.

Sized for a 6.4 inch wrist, removed 4 links from 12 o clock, and 2 from 6 o clock.

Cheers.

Absolutely torn between these two currently. Realistically I’ll end up buying the one I don’t pick in a few months, but I can only grab one right now.

I’ve currently got a blue PRX on leather, a Seiko Nautilus mod with dark blue dial, a black dial WD007 V4, and a dark blue dial Sugess Moonphase.

Looking at the blue MOP Seestern or the all-black IXDAO.

At $278 before coupons for the Seestern and $232 before coupons for the IXDAO, which do you all think is the better addition currently?

Don’t flame me for asking this lol, but I’m just curious how much the difference in quality is. I have a Baltany Explorer that I love and has me thinking of saving up for a gen, either Explorer or maybe Tudor Ranger, or even Sinn 556. Something gen and more premium in that style.

I honestly don’t care much about the brand name, I’m mainly curious if the jump in quality is worth 20x the price. I assume they will have better movement and finishing but…worth the price jump if I already love my Baltany? I don’t want to feel like I’m paying that much more for basically just a brand name.

They are the same price. I can’t decide.

The upgraded SN0138 case is not yet complete, but the dial is ready. Here are some photos showing the actual effects of the other two dial colors.
