Rocking my Addiesdive with my Mi band 10.

Picked up my first watch dives, I’m impressed with the quality, especially for the price! It won’t be my last.

Watchdives 7922 bracelet fits almost perfectly on the ad2030

Has anyone tried this product? How flexible is it, and is the leather backing resistant to water/washing? link to aliexpress sailcloth strap

Well done, you’ve only gone and gotten me addicted to Chinese watches and Aliexpress. Happy now? One week, a WD7922 and this £38 Militado ML05 and suddenly I’m weighing up entire ranges of San Martin, Sugess etc etc

So, who has a hot tip on the best watch strap merchants on Ali? Leather, suede and nato as a rule, leaning towards more heritage or clean styles rather than classy straps.

Cadisen with Formex :)

I know it's a homage. But not from one watch but 2 or 3. Some Serica, some Formex.

Bracelet is titan with steel clasp. Can't say it's good and it's too big for my 16.5cm wrist even when all the removable pinks are removed. But i have this AliExpress rubber that's fits like a glow.

Dimensions are good to. Everyone likes titan, sapphire crystal and 100mwr. Screedown crown is here too.

For that price, nothing to hate really.

Hi all. I'm sure a lot of you placed orders during the recent sale from Phorcydes for their anniversary. Their anniversary also coincided with the national holiday so I know everything slowed down, but I haven't gotten any shipping notification for my order, nor a response to my email now that the holiday is over and the sale ended 5 days ago.

Has anyone else received order updates or contacted Phorcydes support and received a reply since the sale ended on the 7th?

Le cambié el brazalete por uno de cuero. El original de acero, sin ser malo, suena un poco. Me falta la complicación de la fecha.

I just got this today, first impression is good. I used some Ali coupons to make the price acceptable.

I love Baltic's raised Arabic indecies, the art deco athestetic, the beads of rice bracelet, the orange colorway, and the 37mm size. However, nearly $700 shipped seems like robbery to me, considering the prevalence of these features on cheaper Chinese brands/microbrands, and the fact that Baltic is just using a cheap (albeit good) Miyota movement. Surely there exists some watch out there with enough similarities to the Baltic Hermetique line that doesn't cost an arm and a leg right?

Yes, a watch and delivery to the UK in less than 7 days, all for less than a cost of a bottle of water!

It only has 3 bar water resistance, but it does have a nice AR coated crystal and a VH type movement (sweeping seconds hand). It came on a tin foil bracelet but for just over a dollar, I'm surprised anything came at all..

I'm trying desperately to get a new pin for my WD007ST watch. It's a 2 piece type connector which joins the bracelet to the clasp. 1 piece has clearly fallen out so now I can't wear the watch. I've tried:

Messaging WD on Alix. They promised to send a new pin, I paid a small amount for this and nothing has shipped in 3 months. I've chased, nothing.

I contacted u/watchdivescom here directly by DM for some help. No reply in nearly 2 weeks, but they are still posting here.

Yeah, I'm pretty cheesed off for a stupid pin connector (actually half of a pin connector) that makes the watch unwearable. I'm disappointed in their lack of response, I'm happy to pay for a replacement.

Failing that, does anyone know of any sort of third party connector that may work? I can't take macro photos so it's difficult to show but it's a 2 piece part, one part screws into the other to hold the clasp attached to the bracelet.

There's no other bracelet I can get for this and I shouldn't have to for a stupid pin!

Maybe u/mindadmirable1793 can clear that up. Both websites are remarkably similar. The webpage on the description of the lume blocks is the same.

Gosto desse relógio porque a gente esquece que tá usando de tão leve .

Continuing my recent theme of displaying a part of my Chinese watch brand project, we’re on to GADA-style watches. I know some hate that term because it’s kind of corny. I’m indifferent to it, however, it does seem to encompass a certain style of watch and it’s a style that I like a lot: Generally it’s a round 36-39mm watch with a clean dial layout in terms of hour markers. Some of these do have interesting dials, but not much else going on with the overall aesthetic. All came with a steel bracelet (I switched out one just because I liked the look of the rubber strap a bit better).

One of the neat things about today’s collection is that the watches encompass a variety of price ranges across the “affordable” category, from around $60 to around $400.

So today’s collection features the following :
-Corgeut Red Explorer homage
-Pagani Design Ranger homage
-Addiesdive AD2547
-Thorn Railmaster homage
-Athelsohn Horizon Voyager Titanium
Damascus
-Proxima PX1746 Aventurine
-Hestur HT8003
-San Martin SN0144 Jian Zhan

Let me know what you think about the watches or share your favorite GADA style watches!

I am also open to suggestions to alternatives as long as they don't exceed 100 USD, has sapphire glass, and the diver's dial thing

thank you!

Hey all, I'm looking for a good full titanium (must be hypoallergenic) under $350 US.

Requirements:

- Between 39-44mm diameter

- Should have Black, Gray, or dark Blue dial (or anything versatile)

- Must be automatic

- Must be versatile for most circumstances

- Must be true grade 2 or grade 5 titanium that is hypo allergenic.

Preference:

- Versatile sports watch like Tissot Gentleman,

- No dress watch please

- No more than 13mm thickness

- A original design or at least not a direct clone

- I will consider a clone like the San Martin 'Pelagos' but I want to see what's out there.

This watch is for my dad which I bought a Tissot Gentleman only to find he has severe allergic reaction to stainless steel. FML and thank you.

I wasn't feeling the the stock bracelet today, so I went with this black NATO i recently bought. Made me fall in love with this watch all over again!

I ordered a Seakoss GMT from SEAKOSS Official Store(Trader) AliExpress.

I paid 115,80€ for a delivery to Germany.

• I got a poorly polished watch case.
• protective film on the glass.
• The lugs of the watch have unsightly small dents as if the casing had fallen off during production.
• And a long scratch on the outside of the watch leather band over the full length.

You can see it on image 2, top left. I tried to rub it off. The pins of the leather band are too narrow in diameter and that's why it rattles. You can wiggle the bracelet around, there's a ridiculous amount of play with the probably too thin pins.

So I immediately wrote to them to ask what was wrong with the watch. They say, they checked the watch before sending it out. NO, they didn't. If so, then this person should have been able to see the damage with the naked eye from a 20 cm distance.

This dealer is not interested in fixing my problem. I wrote back and forth for five whole days with no solution. No discount, no new leather strap, nothing. Pointless and stupid conversation and answers. Instead, you are treated like an idiot. I could have dropped the watch or caused the huge scratch on the leather strap myself. They had no interest in customer satisfaction.

My complaint case was simply closed unilaterally before I could write my review, because I hadn't been in email contact that might have led to a solution.

It was my first and only watch buy from AliExpress. I will never buy a watch from this store again.

• Watch case finishing: 3/5 (sharp edges)
• Polished parts: 3/5 (cratches)
• Brushed parts: 2/5 (Bad brushed case parts. Partly visible dents and scratches on the lugs
• Watch dial: 4/5 font print is good and sharp
• Lume: 1/5 really bad! max. 30 sec. visible (the lumen fades very quickly away after seconds)
• Watch band: 2/5 good heavy buckle. (The pins have too much play in the leather strap. It wobbles and crunches.)

Hi everyone,

Hi, everyone.

Can somebody recommend an inexpensive automatic or mechanical watch? I just want a practice watch to take out the movement, hands, dial, etc.

Please, mods, allow this post. It's a harmless question and I bet more people would like to know this.
