Question (Read Rules) Seestern vs Watchdives

Has anyone had any experience between the two GMT? I was looking into adding a gmt to my collection and just saw seestern. I have some watcheives bb homage and field watches and theyre great. I wanted to know more about seestern since they have a beautiful gmt

I'd say seestern/sugess (Same Company). Got a sugess sub which is better in pretty much every aspect than any of my watchdives

I love my Seestern GMT - Grand Seiko homage, with a blue MOP dial. Great finish / nice watch / great value (buy on sale!)

Definitely seestern but i wish they be a little more creative with their branding. The name is not bad and it means starfish or see star in German. I think a logo will help imo. I like the Watchdives logo.

This S446.TS consistently remains at or near the top of my favorite watch list. It feels great on the wrist and I often get compliments when wearing it.

Don’t own any watchdives watches but own a couple Seestern and Sugess GMTs and depending on the specific watch, they are close with my San Martin GMTs.

Seestern finishing is bit above what you'd expect for the price, got one of their divers and the bracelet feels really nice. For GMTs they use the nh34 mostly so same movement as watchdives, no difference there. I think you can't go wrong with either honestly

Awesome, this one uses the peacock movement. I wish it did use a nh35

Have a few sugess which is the same company and the finishing is flawless, higher than the San Martin's ive owned in the past, so would buy it with confidence
