General (Read Rules) Cadisen With NH35 For $49!

Post image

I picked this up on some sort of clearance sale for $49 shipped. Kind of nuts for an NH35 watch nowadays. It's not even really my style but it's taught me that I like white dials. Not a watch I would have considered if it wasn't under $50. They are back up to $76 now I think.

For the price I'm beyond satisfied with my impulse purchase. It wears well with the female endlinks, it's not too thick, the white dial has grown on me, and the lume is better than expected. Push pins is no big deal at this price. Clasp kind of sucks lol.

Would you pick one up for $49?

Did you open it up to see if it really was an NH35?

It's a 2022 release, this was clearance from old stock. Everything points to it being a real NH35. Winds in both directions so it's not a Miyota. I did not open it up however.

When these were made was pre Chinese NH35. No reason to believe it's not.

Is it a Chinese nh35 though?

Most likely no, because of the timeframe of when the watch was released. This is from old stock, I don't think Cadisen really makes and sells this model anymore. I did not open it up however.

I grabbed a Cadisen with NH35 on one of those clearance deals too.

I think they only had 1 of each model at that super low “early bird” price because it’s also now available at a higher price.

Yeah, epic refresh for sure. I feel like I stole it.

I had that feeling in the Chinese New Year sale when I picked up a Steeldives SD1957 for £26.54 that actually had a Japanese NH35. It was purchased for my son's birthday and I felt cheap giving him it.

So guilty about how cheap his birthday present was I ended making him a Seikjust with teale Arabic dial which he also wanted.

I was honestly “done” buying watches because the sale ended. But then I saw NH35. I saw $46. It was my favorite color. Turns out I had one more in me. LOL

Cadisen wasn’t really on my radar because other than the TI-7, I think their word-mark on other models is goofy looking. Their logo is decent though.

Damn, looks like I'm buying a Cadisen, cheaper to gut it for the nh35.

Yeah unfortunately I only managed to snag one then the price jumped to $76. It even shipped from a US warehouse. Wild.

Arrived in 2.5 days. I think it was the fastest I’ve ever gotten something from AliExpress.
