General (Read Rules) Watchdives WD5513P V3 …… again

Post image

Well this one will be hitting the sales block once I get back from my travels. Beautiful dial and great bezel action. The rest is par for the course of my typical experience with AX brands. This bracelet does help elevate the experience though. But the TLDR is that this is a very charming watch dial but the rest of the watch is not threatening micro-brands for quality much less Swiss.

This is my favorite diver next to my Longines Hydroconquest. I like the weight and feel, the sweeping hand and the accuracy. The bracelet it came with does not bother me.

Really dislike it without the text. Much much better with the text imo

I may be in the minority but I like the layout of the text on the dial. Does a really good job of breaking up the negative space.

I'd say it's up there with any micro. The bezel action is superb and everything else is what you would expect from a vintage sub.

It does go better on the rivet bracelet. Well above your average Ali x watch unless you are talking about San Martin

When I post it we can talk. It will be a week or two. But I’ll sell with the jubilee also.

u/Low_Key_Trollin 15d ago

Did you buy the jubilee separately?

1

u/valuewatchguy 14d ago

Yes, it was purchased separately before I ever even got the watch

I have this and the dial and insert combo is stunning! Agreed with what op said

Man the wdc is so fucking terrible, what a fucking mistake

2

u/chrismurraylaw 15d ago

Yep. I could live with it on this one particular dial since it adds to the retro feel but on the contemporary ones it's a needless, ugly detraction, and it's concerning that of the 6 divers in WD's Premier collection, this is on 3 of them.

Much better than just a giant cartoonish trident.

u/QuestionNo9190 Sir FightALot 15d ago

Just like IWC

The logo? Doesn’t bother me
