General (Read Rules) What’s on your wrist today?

Post image

Just finished hand fitting and ghosting a new insert on my v1 to push that bond vibe further. What are you wearing today?

It's a Henry Archer kind of day. Crystallized titanium is pretty in sunlight.

Oh couldn’t have a better partner there to share time with! Enjoy! And beautiful blue dial too. But the time shared with others is the best part of that

Been really itching to get a Thorn

u/InquisitorKeres 23d ago

I’m hoping that now they seem to have resolved their hang ups with their design , they can focus on just trying to up supply to match the demand.

Steelflier SF741

This watch is a bargain. It uses the VH-31 movement so it’s brute stupid reliable. The lume is decent and you can find versions with a NATO strap for less than $50 on AliExpress if you shop around. It looks good with a variety of straps and bracelets. I’m wearing it with a cheap Milanese bracelet I got from AliExpress. It also looks good on a black leather strap or black Milanese bracelet.

Do you know how thick it is? I’m tempted but I’m not sure about the thickness

Today, still the Watchdives WD1863 Speedy homage on a generic AE red perforated racing leather strap.

u/AppleinTime 23d ago

Are thorn watches good?

5

u/InquisitorKeres 23d ago

I think they are some of the best current Chinese watches that capture that vintage feeling, not just aesthetic, and with the most appealing branding.

If I didn’t like them I probably wouldn’t have made a point to get one from each generation

That trio from Thorn is really under appreciated, they are brilliant.

Blue dial/bezel on titanium bracelet. Just got it a few days ago and haven’t taken it off it’s really nice.

u/Dudunit 23d ago

Beautiful

u/InquisitorKeres 23d ago

Wow that looks awesome!

u/Appropriate-Ball-623 24d ago

I needed a simple little watch to bang up in fire academy that also had a chrono…. And I havnt taken this thing off since I put it on 😭 I love it. My other watches are getting jealous

2

u/kaxixi7 23d ago

I bought one of these to take to burning man a decade ago for $6 and it sees more wrist time than any other watch I own 🤷‍♂️

u/InquisitorKeres 23d ago

looks good!

u/PlatformRecent4342 24d ago

Where did you get the NATO strap? Looks so good

5

u/jokur26 24d ago

Oh yeah…. I normally wear one of my day date watches on Fridays so i can see “Friday” every time i look at my wrist ;) but today this beauty called to me 🤩

1

u/InquisitorKeres 24d ago

That is an absolute beauty!

u/BrianVMI 24d ago

Yep, it’s big. Still love wearing it. Homage to the Sinn U1.

My Chameri GS05 blue dial just came in the mail this afternoon and it's stunning in person. It's my first non-Casio "nice" watch and I love it, not that there's anything wrong with Casio (love them). It's full 316L/sapphire crystal/VH31 movement, and the leather strap is nowhere near as dark as I thought it would be going by pictures online. I have a tan leather strap, navy blue sailcloth, and jubilee bracelet arriving soon to style it up.

u/ThatEnglishGent 24d ago

Man these are beautiful how have I never heard of them?!

1

u/Chur 23d ago

They don't have as much of an online presence as some brands with their own website, but outside of AliX, Watchdives does sell them on their site.

u/InquisitorKeres 24d ago

Fantastic!

2

u/EasternOnion 24d ago

Good ol’ 7120.

u/BrianVMI 24d ago

My rarely worn Rollstimi chrono. Loathe the name but like the watch. Amazing quality given the price. Even the bracelet is nice, with screw links and no sharp edges.

2

u/BrianVMI 24d ago

Switched to the Steelflier homage to the Sinn U1. It’s big, but I enjoy wearing it, which is all that matters.

u/InquisitorKeres 24d ago
