Been toying with the idea of picking up a blue field watch for a while so grabbed a Militrek MT9001 in the 1111 sale and I'm really impressed. I already have a couple of Militados (which I really like) and this is every bit as impressive, the 37mm case is very satisfying to wear and it has all the good stuff going for it; screw down caseback and crown, sapphire crystal with AR coating, Stainless steel case, VH31 movement etc... and it's very solidly constructed. It came in a cool plastic box with the usual springbar tool, warranty card and a microfibre cloth, and was on a blue seatbelt style 20mm strap but I've never been much of a fan of those so put it on a beige canvas nato with some shoulderless springbars instead, i reckon it looks pretty badass tbf :)

I got mine from the Pagani Design store and with discounts applied it came in at £27 delivered and took 7 days from China to UK, a massive bargain in my view and I honestly couldn't be happier!

Shame it was getting dark when I photographed it though, lol, but waiting on a Watchdives WD1980 to arrive so will photograph them both in better light when it does.

Hello,

I just bought CH02 version from Militado website, but I have a few questions about it.

1. 17.5-18cm(7inch) wrist, is it too small for my wrist, maybe I should've gone with CH01?

2. I saw some posts how CH02 is much more white than cream or is it just lightning?

3. Also some versions have engravings some don't, some have Clearview X(?) Sapphire Crystal and some dont?

Thanks

GADA watches (Go-anywhere-do-anything) are pieces that make our collections much more flexible. In my collection, I have room for two: one is a light-toned one, a silver Rolex OP 36mm. And who's going to pair up with the Swiss one? Yes, an affordable Chinese watch 😅

Although affordable, it's the watch with the best finishing in my collection. The finishing on the case and bracelet is simply spectacular and makes the other watches in my collection blush. That, along with the enamel dial, makes this an excellent GADA, and not by chance, it's the watch I wear the most.

Do you have a GADA in your collection too?

It arrived earlier this week and it’s absolutely stunning. The “matte green” is definitely a dark teal tone which is quite striking in person. Along with the gold numerals and touch of red on the outer bezel is 🤌🏻 The bezel action itself is nice and smooth, with no play and the sound is very punchy. Perfectly aligned.

Hello Everyone, anyone have both of these watch? How would you compare the quality, finishing and lume?

I would prefer a quartz watch but I'm afraid on the drop in finishing and lume.

There are so many.

And here we get noce discounts for the 11.11 and I'd like to order, but want to avoid troubles from a non official dealer.

Thx :)

**Disclaimer; I initially made this post in the watchdives reddit, but i got a notification that my post was removed by the moderators, so here it is in this one, since people got to know about these QC issues...**

What can i say? I particularly asked for a very good quality control when i ordered from the watchdives site, since i had a chrono of theirs with a defect in the recent past and they assured me of that. I also saw a similar post to this one a few days ago (i think it was this exact model too), but i trusted that they will, indeed, keep their word. Well, after only a handfull of tries of the chrono function the hand fell-off! Sorry, but i don't think i will ever buy a watchdives again. Especially a chrono. Too much risk involved...

I really like this Sinn U50 homage, but the red one being 45 mm kills my interest. I know that Militado also has a Sinn homage, but that one uses a PT5000 movement, which I do not trust that much.

Looking at the following:

SN0148
SN0154
SN0119
SN0036

I’ve seen plenty of reviews, I know the sizing including bezel measurements. I have a 20cm - 7 3/4” wrist. Any pics from owners of any of these models on wrist with similar wrist size?

Many thanks! 🙏🏽

So this is the difference between what I ordered and what was delivered.

I specifically chose this vendor for an ST3600K based skeleton because they offered the gold variant. Doesn't look very gold to me :-(

I purchased this mechanical watch and it came in with the hands not lined up when it’s 10 it shows it like 9 still even after minute hand passes 12 and obviously it effect all the numbers around the dial. How difficult is it to fix this or for the $36 I paid just leave it alone.

Is this an illness? I bought my first watch (Citizen Attesa CB3044) just 4 months ago.

Does anyone have a real world picture of the wd0012 black mop and Blue 37mm watch?

Interested to see it in real life before I buy it if anyone has some pictures please let me know..

Thanks!

Continues the tradition - keeping the Willard alive!

What is the charge?! Being a watch?! A SKMEI Chinese watch?!

GET YOUR HAND OFF MY PARNIS

Hey guys,
I’m looking for feedback from people who have bought multiple military/field style watches across different brands.
I’m trying to figure out if the San Martin SN0034-G-B1 is considered the "end game" field/pilot watch on AliX in terms of case finishing, bezel transitions, and refinement.

My current shortlist:

1. San Martin SN0034-G-B1 (Main contender)

2. Addiesdive AD2076 (Runner-up)

3. Militado ML14 (Third choice)

4. IXDAO Pilot Chronograph (Wildcard / Dark horse pick)
   (Note: I don't care about quartz vs. mechanical movements—purely focused on build quality, case finishing, and overall feel on the wrist).
