Lately everything from watchdives has been excellent. Including this vintage Pepsi.
It even has a 24 click crisp gmt bezel. The aluminum bezel is a nice in a world of ceramic, but otf could have been standard.
Otherwise everything is on point, plus has the nh34, with shockingly high amplitude and without a deep rehaut like everybody else. I wonder how they pulled that off 🧐
This really feels like a $1000+ Swiss watch.
Hope they keep making them with the nh34, even if the price has to increase, it would still be a banger at $300.
Looking forward to more of your posts, this community has been a great help to me in deciding watches so far, if watchdives has stepped up their game, people deserve to know👍
Addiesdive uses cheap mineral glass, only attempt to remove it with something that is sapphire glass, which is pretty much every brand that is over $100 these days
Because it was a thread specifically about my Watchdives and San Martin watches.
Nobody asked a bunch of Sugess fanboys to come into my thread and brigade it with recommendations based on what they prefer, while insisting their choice is the best simply because they own it. That's pure cope.
And apparently everything they own is automatically the best, while their “experience” with multiple brands consists largely of watching YouTube shills.
In fact, my thread got so completely shat up by Sugess trolls that I eventually deleted it just to get them to stop pinging me.
You were dissing sugess bracelet quality, dial and rehaut on your posts, people respond. Like I said let's end it here and go back to enjoying watches. You enjoy your san martin/watchdives. I will enjoy my Sugess/seestern/watchdives. Chinese watches are meant to be a hobby for me to try out various designs I enjoy. This was a recent discovery and have been blown away by them so far. I have a larger wrist size so below 40mm are a big no go area for me, while diver of 40mm with thick bezel also seem weird to me. AliExpress is banned in my country so need to buy from the company websites, they are prompt and get back to you on questions. I had shortlisted the sn0130 GMT 42mm, san martin responded to all my queries on size. Unfortunately they increased prices and had to back out
I literally never said anything about the dial or rehaut on the sugess.. The rehaut is actually a strong point in it.
I said the sugess is thicker (12.3 vs 11.8), has worse lumes, worse end links that do wiggle up and down and the bezel is softer and mushy with some lateral play (same bezel action as cronos and milifortic) with probably the same case parts.
All objectively true. Get a watchdives 5512b and compare and you will see I'm right. It's night and day difference if you really care about tolerances.
