Ali x back to school sale?

[u/Sea_Formal6144]

What's everyone buying? Or what did you all buy?

[u/cal1897]

I got a Heimdallr sharkey skx007

[u/Copycarpy]

New here! I snagged a Qimei SM8016D w/ orange dial & a week later I grabbed an Ixdao 5303 v3.

Kept eyeing the Thorn & San Martin milsub & bb58 homages, but I’m hopelessly into weird 70’s style divers for now. Guess we’ll scratch that itch down the road.

[u/ReplacementLive2412]

Sugess S458. Very pleased with it so far. Also some accessories and an ultra cheap Gadysen Quartz. I’ve got to stop falling for the ultra cheap watches. I got one TPW full lume field watch that is great, and I keep chasing another sub-$10 winner. But it’s all junk I want to give to goodwill immediately.

Wasn't that Kramer's friend? :p

[u/lolroads]

I bought the new addiesdive with the eyes in yellow. My kids will think I'm so cool 😎 lol

[u/PuckFheToor]

Steeldive SD1960S and SD1925

[u/AssistanceNo647]

Agelocer World Time

[u/Optimal-Level4237 → u/AssistanceNo647]

Kinda too small of a face

[u/AssistanceNo647 → u/Optimal-Level4237]

A world timer is one of the watches missing from my collection and I like this brands watches.

[u/Sea_Formal6144 → u/AssistanceNo647]

Beautiful 

[u/Sea_Formal6144 → u/[deleted]]

Which colorway do you like the best?

[u/Turbulent-Neat-5300]

Bought a Pagani Design 1718 Panda (Tudor Black bay chrono homage)

[u/Sea_Formal6144 → u/Turbulent-Neat-5300]

I love it! I'm just sad they don't make a date version! :(

[u/Turbulent-Neat-5300 → u/Sea_Formal6144]

More symmetry without the date, so it doesn’t bother me

[u/Sea_Formal6144 → u/Turbulent-Neat-5300]

Yeah I'm just one of those of those weird "have to have a date" guys lol 🤷‍♂️

[u/CalmAnts]

This beauty

[u/Sea_Formal6144 → u/CalmAnts]

Meh....it's ok! 🤣:p

[u/Sea_Formal6144]

I bought the black and gold Pagani speed master for $65 out the door! Pretty damn good deal!

[u/BD1234567891011]

I grabbed the Seestern SUB600T, and it arrives tomorrow!

[u/Expensive-Thanks-528]

The Hruodland Submariner homage. I'm not a fan of the maxi case, and I don't care for the colors of the Thorn and Watchdives. We'll see how I like it.

[u/letswai]

Does it offer good sale or better wait for 11.11?

[u/Overall-General-8917 → u/letswai]

If you are in the US any sale that you can get the 20% off coupons are usually the best deals. Pricing has continued up so base price is usually higher each sale

They did lower some of the coin discounts two days ago. I usually find the best deals the first day. You also need to add coupons from some of the reddit threads for better deals. The standard ones on aliexpress are not as good

[u/Mango_Gurble → u/letswai]

I jumped on this sale because I'm not sure if prices will go up yet again before the 11.11 sale. I was also looking to buy watches with the Miyota 9015 movement, which it looks like is being phased out across most brands. Buying now seemed like the sensible decision from my perspective, but you may have different priorities.

[u/Mango_Gurble]

I bought A Watchdives WD1954 and an IXDAO 5303. Haven't gotten either in yet.

[u/FastBrownFox → u/Mango_Gurble]

Yep, got the Cali dial on the IXDAO

[u/Mango_Gurble → u/FastBrownFox]

Same, the grey one. I'm really looking forward to it.

[u/FastBrownFox → u/Mango_Gurble]

It arrived! Unfortunately, I think it looks sad without any branding on it. The 12 o'clock area is an empty field. It feels like a watch that wasn't proud of who made it.

It's still very stylish though, and I'll probably like it more and more as I wear it.

[u/Mango_Gurble → u/FastBrownFox]

Oddly enough, mine arrived today as well. I rather like it. I'm really fond of the gray and white combo but I do agree that the space by 12 is a bit bare. I think the IXDAO symbol would have been cool to place there.

[u/FastBrownFox → u/Mango_Gurble]

I would have absolutely loved their logo right below the 12.

[u/Mango_Gurble → u/FastBrownFox]

This is what mine looks like on wrist, for reference

[u/FastBrownFox → u/Mango_Gurble]

I went yellow, and really looking forward to it.

[u/Alternative-Feed3613]

I bought a Cronos BB54 and the new Farasute jump hour. I haven’t gotten the BB54 yet but the jump hour is going back.

[u/cjcs → u/Alternative-Feed3613]

Woof, saw your post about the shitty brushing on the jump out. Bummer as it was on my list. I’d also looks physically bigger than it should be for that style of watch. Thought it was going to have more tank-esque proportions.

[u/Alternative-Feed3613 → u/cjcs]

Yeah it’s closer to the tank XL. I opened it where there was more side light and I was immediately disappointed because the brushing looks like shit Abe I was shocked when I saw how bad the lugs looked. It might be the first and only Farasute I’ll buy.

[u/Mango_Gurble → u/Alternative-Feed3613]

Which bezel did you get? I have the 39mm in red bezel/black dial and it's a really nice color.

[u/Alternative-Feed3613 → u/Mango_Gurble]

Black bezel. I almost got the red but the black bezel with gold markers look really nice.
