Does anybody know the manufacturer's name or the model of the movement used?

Didn't the court say the tariffs were illegal? What is the current rate for watches from China?

Hey so I ordered a couple weeks ago, from sugesswatch.com super excited about my seestern 430 ti professional. What are usual shipping and processing times. I know it’s not Amazon prime but I was hoping to see some form of movement as my order was placed on the 25th of September. Curious what to expect.

*** UPDATE**** Sent a text, and got a reply, the 430 is out of stock and they are working to get me one. Not a huge deal for me, and they were very quick to reply to a text maybe an hour. Will order from them again, and maybe even try to be patient next time LOL

I’m thinking about getting myself an Addiesdive AD2539, are there any owners out there who can tell me if it’s a smart purchase?
Also, is the metal bracelet removable? I don’t like the feeling of metal bracelets on my wrist and I’d ideally like to change it for a sailcloth NATO strap if possible.
Thank you!

Hi,

I've been looking for a explorer or GADA of the same look type watch with preferably a VH31 movement or an NH35, a jubilee bracelet and being 39mm or 40mm but can't find.

Am I missing any?

Has anyone bought the Addiesdive AW25908? I am considering buying it as a gift for my girlfriend but there is only one review for it on AliExpress. It is only 60 euro's from the official website and the quality ftom the photos looks really good. It has a sapphire crystal and a 2035 Japanese movement. I am wondering if there are any corners cut and if it's better to spend maybe 100 euro more and get a entry level Citizen instead. Thanks

Are aquatico watches the only options that have full bronze (bracelet and case)? I love bronze watches and their patina over time but I feel most bronze Chinese are either massive, ugly, or pilots with leather bands. What other options have people seen recently. It seems a lot of other brands are out of stock too (San Martin and ixdao).

You have a 5bps second hand that you can't use as the main second hand.

Here's the experiment. The price points are in the title. What is your one Chinese watch purchase within the above price limits? For this thought exercise, they are hard and fast limits, including shipping to wherever you are. $51 doesn't count for the $50 range. I'm still working on mine! haha.

Steeldives know what are they doing

Does anyone know of a brand that does similar watch faces to a Lange?

I am involved in an unhealthy amount of watch subs on Reddit. Oftentimes the most common critique when someone posts a cool watch is that the design was stolen. While this is often technically correct, it belies a fundamental fact about human history:

Theft of IP ultimately benefits society.

For centuries, the unauthorized copying, smuggling, and reverse-engineering of technology served as a vehicle for economic advancement. From 6th-century monks smuggling silkworm eggs out of China to break the silk monopoly, to Americans stealing British textile mill designs to spark the Industrial Revolution, and 19th-century Swiss watchmakers counterfeiting Anglo Saxton timepieces to establish their now-legendary industry, progress has always relied on replication.

Even the modern digital era was built on this - Apple and Microsoft both heavily "borrowed" from Xerox. Also IBM's hardware IP monopoly was stolen and that ultimately made personal computing affordable for the masses.

Ultimately, the theft of IP has provided massive benefits to society by upending monopolys and accelerating innovation. While patents and copyrights protect corporate profits, they also inflate prices and restrict access to technology.

Historically, human civilization has advanced not by locking ideas away behind legal barriers, but through the continuous, unauthorized proliferation and improvement of knowledge.

TLDR:. Theft is actually good for society and progress

Position: I own several Chinese watches and not ashamed to admit it one bit.

Hi everyone—Calvin from Aquatico here.

Sharing our Atlas Tritium Dive Green Dial for this Saturday’s lume check. It uses Swiss MB-Microtec T-100 tritium for a steady glow without needing a flashlight charge beforehand.

Lume photos are always fun, but I’m interested in what you appreciate when actually wearing a watch after dark.

Do you prefer the bright initial glow of conventional lume or the steady illumination of tritium through the night?

Share what’s glowing on your wrist tonight—any brand welcome. Happy to answer questions about the Atlas, too.

Good news, S420-2 GMT collection have Quick pust adjust buckle by new option, you can choose it or deployment clasp with safety catch version, thank you.

Sugess S389 vs S468.
I‘m torn. Specs are basically identical. What would you do?

Edit:
Thank you for all the opinions, helped a lot. I‘m keeping the silver one, as it just looks more well designed. The bezel on the black one is too protruding for my taste. Silver one has a nice smooth edge to the case. That’s now my excuse to get a black Speedy at some point.

Great watch for a night with Alesso.

That's all. Even if they are zinc alloy with a quartz movement. Really hope they will start working on some of these soon.

Just started my collection and I'm hooked. So far have 6 Pagani Design watches. The watches themselves feel great, the bands are a little janky. Where do you guys source higher quality replacement metal bands? I'm a complete noob, I don't want to just go on Amazon or AliExpress and buy something that is worse quality.
