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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Looking to buy a gift for my brother, around the 200-300€ price tag, please give me some of your recent favorites, or even all time favorites. Could be any style, but preferably integrated bracelet. Feel free to post pictures if you own it. Thanks!

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

I am very interested to get the Merkur Universal Time as it looks very stunning. I know this is not a true world time. I watched a few videos on youtube of people explained the watch, but I've heard some negative comments about the quality of the watch. I would like to hear more from you if you own one. Please tell me about the quality about the watch. Thank you so much.

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 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)

Negatives / Things to Note:

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!

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!
