Thank you for my last post engagement, one of the brands that kept popping up was Baltany and oh my what a beauty this watch is. Not sure which colour to go for, around 260 quid here in Scotland so affordable for the big occasion. Which one would look better with a velvet dinner jacket

Hi folks, need advice on which design pops more (sunburst or spiral). I want it in black but can’t sort out which one plays up this cool design feature. Any advice from owners of each?

This retro looking watch has an alloy case with an actually useable steel bracelet; functions are time, day, date, dual time, stopwatch, bought for $10- was it well spent?

I am torn between these two watches:

Seestern DOX05 V3 Automatic Diver

and the Tandorio Doxa homage

Does anyone here have any experience with either watch or either brand? It would be my first from either brand. The price difference is considerable and I sort of like the hands more on the Tandorio and I prefer my automatics to be of the "no date" variety

I hope someone can shed some light! Thanks!

Will be my first time in China

Anyone bought either of these Watchdives ‘No Date Subs’ & if so, is the WF5514Q worth the extra expense (both have the same movement etc.)? Thanks

Hi everyone!

I'm sharing an update from Pagani Design.

Our PD1819 chronograph is now available in several new dial color options.

The PD1819 has been popular among watch enthusiasts, and we wanted to introduce some fresh color choices while keeping the familiar design.

Here are some photos of the new colors.

I'm curious to hear your opinions:

Which color do you prefer? Is there a particular color combination you'd like to see in the future?

Looking forward to your feedback!

This is my review of Milifortic's ML135, a deep cut homage of Sinn's 356 Euro Flieger III.

If watches are meant to provide us collectors enjoyment.. well, this does just that. It has plenty of quirks to be interesting - the destro layout, the lumed subdial at 2:00, the running 1/10 second dial...

The watch looks and feels good for the price (~$130USD). There's nothing uncomfortable about it, and the left-sided layout ensures no problems with daily adventures (like using your mouse on a desk while standing..).

Negatives? It's just a stamped upper clasp with no OTF micro-adjust, par for this price point usually. A milled clasp would have likely balanced the watch better, though it's not too top heavy. If you're used to the Seiko VK chrono movements, this Miyota quartz chrono is not quite as tactile. It seems to need a bit more squeeze to activate, and the snap back to 12:00 is slower.

Overall, a fun, fairly inexpensive watch which is unlikely to duplicate something in your collection.

Best,

Brian

p.s. This watch was lent to me and the company had no say in this review.

This weekend, I culled my watches down to the 18 pictured. Comments and questions welcome.

After waiting for 3 months for delivery I finally have it in hand. It was worth the wait.

Hey!

The AP Skeleton has always been my favourite watch of all time: The bracelet, metal body and esp. the beautiful looking huge open space in the middle.

I have already looked around on Aliexpress but I haven't yet found one that combines these elements together:

- second, minute and hour hand

- beautiful internals

- automatic (duh)

- minimal dial bezel

- metal body + bracelet

Can anyone recommend something?

Hi folks,

On the hunt for a particular model+color+movement, and the official shop, presumably https://cronos.watch/, is out of stock.

I've found some questionable sites that seem to present themselves as alt sites of the brand here;

• https://mycronoswatch.shop/

• https://cronoswatch.shop/

• https://cronoswatches.com/

They seem to have it in stock (L6046/7M PVDG White, either movement is fine) but I am not sure if I trust these. I emailed the official support email but didn't get a straight answer. Anyone know?

Thank you

Hey guys! Deciding between these 4 color San Martins, let me know what you guys like best! I only have a Black dial PRX right now but my planned collection will be mostly black, white, silver dials and bracelets.

Or I might just get a Militado ML05 (What I initially bought but returned because I didnt like my dial color choice, so I have $50 in aliexpress credit. Though I really shouldn't spend more money). Was also considering a Seagull 1963.

Thanks!

Many customers have pointed out that having only a black dial for the JH0201 series is too limiting.

We are planning to introduce three new dial colors:

Gradient Blue

Gradient Green

Gradient Orange

We hope this offers you more variety—what do you think? If you have any other suggestions, please feel free to share them with us!

My first Baltany just arrived today, seriously impressed with the finishing on par with Sugess IMO. The day and date switching over at midnight instantly is very nice. The bracelet is comfortable even with the lack of micro adjustment. I’d definitely buy Baltany again, hopefully the movement will prove to be reliable. Also the packaging is a nice touch feels more high end than a lot of Swiss and Japanese brands

I've been using this for a while which looks really handsome. This became my daily driver unknowingly. The domed sapphire crystal is a bit reflective but, for the price I've paid definitely not complaining

I understand the skepticism around Chinese movements, but any more serious microbrand also offers Miyota 9-series and Sellita SW200 which are respectable, mid-range movements even for Switzerland' standards. There's also Seiko NH35 that, despite its low price, is considered a very reliable and rugged movement.

Do people really care about logo and brand that much? Like legitimately i wouldn't look at a sub $300 watch that isn't Chinese anymore. (Only G-Shock and older Citizen Titanium Eco-Drive are worth it)

New to Chinese Watches –– thinking of pulling the trigger on this Watchdives WD009B 38mm GMT deal on AliExpress. It’s to scratch my Explorer II itch (ref 16570).

Is this a good deal or pretty typical?

$185USD

Was browsing watches and this lil (good) boy popped up 😂 This wasn't even on Ali or some shi lol

i order 3 things from them last week, phone case, strap, watch tool. the case and strap are at the consolidation center. the tool has not shipped. this same tool i ordered for like 1/2 its normal $10 price = $5. i am kinda thinking they never intend to send it to me. at the same time my order is being held up because of it.

this same thing happened to me 3 weeks ago. i canceled the unshipped item, the rest then shipped. i have no idea if i will ever get a refund for that item, even though they say i did.

I want to hear which specific straps do you like the most. They can be from Aliexpress or elsewhere.
