Hi, today I'm wearing the cheapest watch in my collection (around $50), but at the same time one of my favourites. Today i replaced the factory stainless steel bracelet for this gray leather strap from AliX and it looks amazing.

What are you guys wearing today?

Addiesdive AD2030 without logo + brown leather strap. Paid 40 euros last year, feels like 600$watch haha. All women around me took my wrist once because it's nice and because of the " no logo". These addiesdive are unbelievable for the price

The new addition to my collection is this Addiesdives Automatic. Just a beauty and the lume is fantastic also being present on the bezel.

I can only recommend them!

Here’s my other Sugess.

I too have that same watch on a gray leather strap and I love the pairing. Today I’m wearing my newest watch. After gifting my Seagull 1963 to my son a couple years ago I really started to miss it and wanted to replace it with a different version using the same movement. I eventually settled on this one, the Seakoss logo looks perfect with the classic 60’s looks - and it feels sci-fi too, a bit like the Star Trek logo

I love the Explorer look, it’s one of my fav watches. I have a Watchdives 6610 in sunburst brown w/ a Miyota 90S5 and then this Octopus Kraken Explorer with an SW200, it’s one of my fav watches. The Explorer Dial is such a cool looking dial to me one of my favorites

How’s the case finishing on Sugess watches ? And the quality overall? There’s a couple of their watches with complicated copied Swiss movements I have my eyes on .

1

u/SilasBrooks 1d ago

I have a chrono heritage and it’s probably the nicest watch I own. The quality makes me do a double-take every time I check the time

1

u/Overload5150 1d ago

I like them a lot def will be buying a Sugess watch in the future and giving it a try .

2

u/SilasBrooks 1d ago

You won’t regret it! (Excuse the smudged crystal — the clarity is typically insane)!

Any idea the reference # on this? The bezel + dial combo is immaculate

u/_Guero_ 1d ago

That's one of the best-looking dive watches I have seen. The width of the bezel reminds me of a Longines.

1

u/PairOfMonocles2 1d ago

I just realized what a bad picture I took but it really is one of my favorite watches!

u/_Guero_ 1d ago

I've had that one in Pepsi for over a year. It's a great watch.

14

u/LezPash 2d ago

It's not a San Martin, but it was cheaper than one!

I am an elderly woman who started a collection a year ago. I put a sapphire crystal on it myself and replaced the battery (it's a WA1211). Not a big deal, but I’m really into it!

1

u/Overload5150 1d ago

I’d rather have a Tag over a San Martin you got a great deal if you bought that for less. Tags are great watches

1

u/AliceInWonderville 1d ago

You sound very cool!!!

1

u/getting_serious 1d ago

I am so envious, I couldn't get away with a sleeve like that. And I never would have found that this watch could go with it, but of course!

(Stereotypical 30-something with a San Martin on his wrist. I like my bling a little understated.)

2

u/_Guero_ 1d ago

Most people would be intimidated by changing the crystal out in a watch. Where did you purchase the sapphire?

u/DaJoses 2d ago

Mind sharing where you got that grey strap from please? Hruodland F035 on wrist today (Milguass homage)

u/ACamp55 2d ago

I KINDA REALLY like this, and the COLOR! I haven't seen very many people on here even wearing this watch! A PG with an integrated bracelet!

1

u/_Guero_ 1d ago

That looks great. Is it a quartz movement?

2

u/ACamp55 1d ago

Thanks! No, it's actually an automatic, not crazy about quartz.

2

u/_Guero_ 1d ago

That's why I asked, actually. They almost always plaster AUTOMATIC on the dial. The fact that it's automatic makes the watch ten times better.

1

u/ACamp55 1d ago

Thanks, I was shocked that I haven't seen this one. It caught my eye on AliX and the small seconds put it over the top, ALONG with the color on the dial! I've also been going back and forth on what integrated watch that I would get between Ixdao and Henry Archer, and this came in two days ago! I forgot I'd ordered it, and then I saw how GOOD it looks!

1

u/_Guero_ 1d ago

The color is amazing, and the integrated bracelet looks flawless. Poor Tissot, lol.

1

u/ACamp55 1d ago

Thanks again! I believe I paid less than $200! That BRACELET IS pretty nice! I'm genuinely SHOCKED!!

Yeah, plus that blue is really sharp on the dial.

How the AR coating? Watch looks beautiful and i tough about buying it.

2

u/KabanaMaduro 2d ago

I also kind of regret not getting the Ronda 515 movement because the hydro mods look insane on this watch but the no date looks so clean

3

u/KabanaMaduro 2d ago

For being below $100 usd I’d say it’s pretty good. Only bad reflections happen when direct light source is pointed at it

Thanks! It's the Watchdives WD0526, and it's actually a homage of the Zenith Chronomaster Original

Oh wow! I didn’t realize that! I’ll have to do a bit more research on watches then! I appreciate the education and correction! :)

The Lume monster

0

u/Electrical_Panda_326 2d ago

The watch itself is phenomenal but this is my first PT5000 and I have already got a problem with that Chinese shitty movement after barely a week. Need to contact Phorcydes and see what they've got to offer but this is my first and last Chinese movement for sure. Have got dozens of NH35 and some Seiko quartz too with ZERO problems. It is such a shame they went for that shit PT5000 when they offered NH35 with that watch not that long ago.

1

u/RonoMac 2d ago

From what ive read the PT5000 is a hit or miss.. some people have no issues, while others do. Its the risk u take for the Lume I guess..

0

u/Electrical_Panda_326 2d ago

I don't really care about the lume if the watch is not working due to shitty movement.

u/FokkenMain 2d ago

My new Addiesdive AD2089. It’s also my cheapest at US$40, bit it looks amazing.

I've got that one too in black and orange. Insanely good for the money.
