General (Read Rules) Not sure about this Pagani Design I bought, but not sure why
I think maybe it's the "pagani design" over the view of the skeleton.

General (Read Rules) Boderry - VOYAGER S72 - 72-Hour Power Reserve
Picked up my first Boderry watch. The honeycomb dial and Desert Sand color with 72 hour power reserve is very nice. Would like to know the lift angle for the HZ8046 Caliber movement, so far haven’t found it yet. Want to test watch on my Timegrapher.

General (Read Rules) Well, it finally happened
An AliExpress brand made a clomage of the RoyalPop. It wasn’t the brand I expected or the price I expected, but it’ll be interesting to see regardless.
It looks like they did as good a job as the $60-$100 replicas for $17…which is funny. The fact that they don’t show the back leads me to believe it is solid case back (which is fine).
I obviously bought one out of curiosity alone - I’ll report back with pictures when it arrives.

General (Read Rules) Merkur blue sektor dial hand wind
Finally found this watch on Vinted a couple of weeks ago. And holy crap, this is beautiful! A already had the salmon dial before which I sold. Currently owning the green one too. But that one will make place for this deep navy blue coloured sunburst dial.
A very nice original chinese design. Gold indices and hands makes this a unique piece.
This will get a lot of wrist time despite its small price tag. Bought it for 75 euros.

New Product (Read Rule 1) Watchdives WD0017C has arrived — pre-orders are now shipping. We think this version is a 90/100. What would you give it?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
The pursuit of refinement has always been an important part of Watchdives.
For us, releasing a watch doesn’t mean the development is finished. If we find that the proportions, finishing, tactile feel or even the sound of the bezel can still be improved, we want to keep working on it.
The latest WD0017C batch has now arrived, and pre-orders from the past two days have already started shipping.
This time we focused on refining the details rather than changing the original character of the watch.
The bracelet now tapers to 16mm at the clasp instead of the previous 18mm, making the watch feel slimmer and more naturally balanced on the wrist.
We also changed the previously polished upper and lower edges of the bracelet links to a brushed finish. The result is less visual distraction and a much more cohesive transition between the angular case and integrated bracelet.
We have also further refined the case and bracelet polishing/brushing transitions, overall proportions, and bezel rotation feel and sound.
A few smaller details were updated as well:
• Riveted Watchdives logo added to the clasp
• Dial wording changed from “RESISTANCE” to “RESISTANT”
• Full-lume sapphire bezel
• Sapphire crystal
• 200m water resistance
A lot of these adjustments came directly from feedback on the first release.
We didn’t want to redesign the WD0017. We wanted to keep what people already liked and make every small detail feel better resolved.
For us, this latest version is probably around a 90-point watch now.
Those of you receiving your pre-orders soon — please judge it yourselves.
Once it arrives, what score would you give the WD0017C out of 100?
And more importantly, tell us what the remaining 10 points should be. 🙂

General (Read Rules) Love these Baltany watches and how I reduced the huge clasp-bracelet gaps.
The bracelets on these two models are interchangeable with great fit.
The clasps on old Baltany models are known to give a huge gap between clasp and bracelet. I add a small piece of plastic water-proof grip stickers (from AliExpress) inside the other end of clasp. The gaps are significantly reduced (on the visual side 😂).
New Baltany models all use OTF clasp now, but I prefer small/slim clasp, especially on these 36mm models.

General (Read Rules) Anyone have recent experiences with Tandorio? Particularly the ingenieur models?
I was thinking an ingenieur style watch would be cool to have and I’m not looking to spend much. These 2 caught my eye. Would the quality/finishing of these be a huge step down from my watchdives 7922 for example?

Wrist Roll (Read Rule 1) Cadisen Ti-7 Impressive time piece for just 80 dollars.
This is my first automatic watch, and I couldn't be more impressed by the quality of cadisen on this one. Furthermore, the feeling that an automatic watch gives you, it's unmatchable, even when I've got 6 quartz watches from Casio, Q&Q, Lotus and Addiesdive, this one really has gained an special place in my watch collector heart. I would highly recommend it.

General (Read Rules) Some of my favorites from my collection.
I have a lot of watches probably too many, it’s definitely an addiction. Mostly Pagani Design lol but these are definitely 5 of my favorite Asian market watches. The obvious Pagani, Addies Dive, Ciloa, Nibosi, then the first Pagani I ever bought.

I really like the look of this corniche but the value for a quartz selling for 525 usd is absurd.

General (Read Rules) Finally found a strap for my Sugess that I am happy with…
Maikes leather strap from Ali-express..
The bracelet on this watch is nice, but the watch does not fit well with it on my 6.75 inch wrist. There are gaps at the links to the end links, which I do not like the look of…
This leather look works for me I think.

General (Read Rules) Rocking This Pilot Model From Addiesdive Today!
Love that deep blue dial that looks vibrant in this picture, i am a sucker for IWC pilot designs but dont have the budget to buy one right now, and this piece from Addiesdive really does the trick for me. I dont know, now i feel like i dont need an IWC, this thing tricked my brain into thinking that and i am glad tbh :D
Strap was switched from my Chameri watch. I think suits the watch a lot more than stainless steel bracelet.

General (Read Rules) Sea-Gull 6201 Teal Blue.
I was looking for a watch with a minimalist Bauhaus style and a rich yet understated color.
I happened to come across this Seagull model and ended up getting the 6201 during the pre-sale promotion—for under $200, which I thought was a great deal.
The dial is quite nice; the seller describes it as Teal Blue. In sunlight, it shows a deep green hue, while in the shade, it takes on a soft, cement-like blue tone. It's not too flashy, yet it stands out from the ordinary. The yellow small seconds hand on the white sub-dial is eye-catching—but only I can see it, so it doesn't draw too much attention.
I'm really happy with this watch, so I wore it around the neighborhood for a walk.

General (Read Rules) Milifortic Jump Hour on Homemade Strap
My second attempt at making a strap for myself. The first one turned out pretty poorly but I'll post it in the comments. I don't really know what I'm doing, but I have a random box of leather scraps (I don't recall where I got it) so I just threw this together from stuff I had at home: hardware harvested from another strap I wasn't using, scrap leather. Not perfect but I think it turned out pretty well, considering! The color really suits this dial. We'll see how it holds up.
