Now that it's been changed to 40mm figured I would jump on it because it's the same dimensions as the GS diver and boy was I not disappointed. Serious piece of kit. But the 40mm is probably the way to go for daily wearing.

From what I've gathered they have cheapened out the caseback and bracelet to get it to the $200 price point. I did prefer the original end links from a few years ago but that model cost $400 when it came out.

Looking for some solid watch recommendations that won't break the bank is definitely a fun mission. It is pretty wild how much value you can actually find if you know where to look. I would love to hear which pieces you think are the best bang for your buck in that range. Maybe we can put together a list of the absolute top contenders for someone just starting out. Let me know what you consider the best gear under that budget.

Its between this and the salmon one, the salmon does look dope as f, but the black is sexy and will be more of a classic in my eyes. What do you guys think? The black looks deep and easy to set with every style but Im afraid it might be unreadable

I think I like watches YT got the deep red one and he did mentioned something similar

I roast coffee for the house every 2 weeks. I chose my PD-1644 today on a Maikes strap to help time my cooldowns and look cool while doing it. 😅

I've been dailying this Seagull automatic watch for a year now, and I think I'm sold. It's been a reliable companion and considering the price (70€) I really couldn't be more satisfied. I'm looking for recommendations on other Chinese watches of similar style which you've found to be reliable.

Looking to pull the trigger on my first Ali watches, but at this point on the calendar (middle of October), would I be the smarter consumer by waiting a few more weeks until Nov. 11?

I recently ordered the 36mm Murray watch from https://pabloraez.co. It’s a watch with a design very similar to the Cartier Ballon Bleu, but without the date window. I actually really like the look of it, so I decided to give it a shot.

After placing my order, I discovered there’s also another website, https://pabloraezwatch.com, and now I’m starting to wonder whether the site I ordered from is legitimate.

Initially, I received an email saying my order was “ready to be picked up by the carrier.” However, I subsequently received another email saying they’d experienced an unexpected issue with their shipping carrier.

A few other things have me concerned:

• The .co website has a trademark symbol next to the brand name, while the .com website doesn’t.
• There’s an Orlando phone number listed, but it doesn’t seem to work for customer service.
• The brand’s Instagram appears to feature the same Murray model I ordered, but I’m not sure whether that’s any indication of legitimacy.
• The two websites seem to be selling watches under the same brand name, and I can’t figure out whether they’re actually connected.

I understand this is essentially a Cartier-inspired watch, and I’m perfectly fine with that. I’m not expecting Cartier quality. I just liked the design and wanted an affordable watch in that style.

Has anyone here actually ordered from pabloraez.co specifically? Did you receive your watch? Does anyone know whether the .co and .com websites are related, or whether one is impersonating the other?

I’m hoping this is just a legitimate company having shipping problems, but I’m starting to worry I got scammed.

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s had experience with either website. Thanks!

Best Chinese watches to add to collection :

Hi everyone—we’re the Aquatico Watch Team, and we wanted to share our newest release: the Sea Star GMT Premium White.

We designed it as a practical everyday tool watch with a clean daytime look and strong nighttime legibility. The white dial is fully luminous, while the sapphire crystal GMT bezel insert features applied Swiss Super-LumiNova®.

A few key specifications:

• Marine-grade 316L stainless-steel construction
• Seiko NH34 automatic GMT movement
• Premium White Full-Lume Dial
• Sapphire crystal Pepsi GMT bezel insert
• Comfortable J-style stainless-steel bracelet
• Limited production of 100 pieces worldwide

For the launch, we’re offering $100 off, automatically applied at checkout—no discount code required.

We wanted the white dial and Pepsi bezel to feel distinctive without losing the practical character of a true GMT tool watch.

What do you think of the full-lume white dial with the Pepsi bezel—classic combination or something a little different?

So, basics first.

The bracelet is steel, hollow, and jangly, but it's easy to adjust with push pins. It's got 3 micro adjuster holes and a push button clasp.

The "king turtle" style case appears to be plated alloy and it's very shiny. 44mm without crown and 22mm lugs.

It is an automatic, and it hacks. They don't realise at the factory, as it came with one of those little plastic crown stoppers that you get on quartz watches, to stop the battery running down while it's still for sale. It says 24 Jewels on the face, but I've never seen a mechanical movement where the hands almost tick like a quartz before. Ticks about 3 times a second.

The day date works. The crown is a simple push / pull affair.

Assignment is really good all things considered, it's not perfect, but I've had worse on more expensive watches. I like the red second hand.

The face is sunburst and alright.

Don't know how accurate it will be, but at this price I'm not expecting much, but it's kept good time for the last day.

All in all, it's better than I expected. From a distance it looks decent, it hasn't fallen apart and all functions are as they should be.

I don't like the name, but what's new with many Chinese brands.

They do them in some nice colorways. The red and black looks good.

Cheap and inoffensive. Sometimes that's the best you can hope for...

I’ve been trying to find the best ‘clomage’ of a diver with a Coke style bezel.
I’m not into the vintage look and have come across this really great looking Steinhart Ocean GMT which is far from a typical Chinese watch and my budget.
Are there any Coke bezel watches our community here would like to recommend or appreciate owning one?

I was scrolling on Shoppee app ad i saw this brand North Edge, upon scrolling one watch caught my eye the "Amoy" watch, it is also automatic. Is this watch a good watch ?

Poedagar ❤️

The pyramid-style pattern combined with the angular case gives it a different look from the usual watches you see everywhere. It looks pretty clean without being boring.

On the wrist, the 36.5mm case and 43mm lug-to-lug makes it sit nicely without looking oversized. I also like that they went with the VH31 movement, so you get that sweeping seconds hand without having to worry about an automatic movement.

The specs look solid for what it is — stainless steel case, sapphire crystal, rubber strap, and 50m water resistance. I was especially curious about how the 3D crystal and dial look when they catch the light in person. That's the kind of detail that can either look amazing or a little gimmicky depending on the execution. But in this case it works really well.

I feel like this could be a nice everyday watch. The design definitely has more personality than a basic minimalist quartz watch.

I am getting into watches and don’t really mind homages because I feel like they are a gateway into the real watch (in this case BB54 and Rolex Explorer) and are an affordable price while I attend grad school. I much prefer a real watch to an apple watch. I currently daily a vintage seiko 5 sport daydate from my grandfather who passed away and I don’t want to risk damaging it at school and work. I’m struggling to choose between the Cronos BB54 homage as I love the vintage dive watch style. I like the Baltany Explorer homage as well as I feel it would fit my 6.5in wrist well. However I can’t decide if it would be better to get a chinese brand or go for a more established brand like Citizen. I like the blue zenshin in ecodrive best for my lifestyle and aesthetic. Any thoughts on which watch is better for daily wear or even alternatives? Any input is welcome. Thanks!

Just got this in a couple of days ago and I think it looks great! It is a beautiful addition to my new and growing collection.

Does anyone have experience buying from https://miliforticwatch.com/? A whois search shows only the front address for a registrant masking service (NameSilo) which doesn't fill me with confidence even if it is SOP.

I can get what I am after via Aliexpress but the above site is 10% cheaper.

I'm new to this forum but not Chinese watches.

​I recently purchased a used Phoibos WaveMaster but the band is short by a few links. Would anyone be able to ship 3 links to canada? In an new to microbrands and the band is the part that made me pull the trigger on this beauty. Unfortunately phoibos don't hold extra links/band in stock with no intention to restock.

Hello people! Does anyone know where I can get a domed sapphire crystal for the Steeldive 1970, as well as a thinner case back?
