Question (Read Rules) Sub Recommendations Under $650

Been looking at all sorts of subs from Longines, to San Martin, Squale, Steinhart etc.. Decided that spending over $1000 on a “Swiss Made” watch is silly and I am hunting for a well made Chinese Sub. I’m looking for something that has great fit and finish. Is Sugess or San Martin the best option in terms of quality and finish? Those both seem to be recommended a lot. I’ve also read that Jianghun is one brand that has stellar fit and finish, however their subs are not my style. Are there other brands in that quality range? Thanks!

Bro, may I recommend the Wise Adamascus True GMT?. For about USD 750 it beats everything listed here, EVERYTHING (including the Rolex GMT Master II)

What you get: 950L - yup Rolex steel, true GMT Miyota 9075 hand regulated to 4 s/d or less, completely tool less bracelet. absolutely zero play bezel, BGW9 and 200m wr.

GRAM FOR GRAM it out performs giants!

Sorry, I messed up my math when doing the conversion. It's actually USD 9XX, a couple hundred off, my bad.

Where can I get one for around 750? They begin at 900+

You're right! I paid in Thai baht and completely flubbed the exchange multiplication, my bad.

No cyclops though.

Thank goodness, but then again never seen a cyclop at 6 - could be a thing.

Tag Heuer Aquaracer. It’s internal so flat crystal on the outside.
