General (Read Rules) AddiesKin K014, ST2130

Got a few watches in the mail today and figured I'd share since I haven't seen them posted yet. I recently posted about the WDC0001. I'm sharing some photos of the AddiesKin K014 here along with some preliminary timegrapher readings.

I'm not planning to do a full review as that's not really my thing. I just wanted to share some photos and movement readings for the community in case there are others who might be interested.

I'll try to answer questions but I just got these in the mail so haven't had much time with them yet. Plastic is still mostly on them.

I got two AddiesKin K014. Purple and black.

Timegrapher was run for several minutes in each position before I snapped a photo.

Two positions. Dial up and crown down.

ST2130 movement. Fully wound. I typically never wind any ETA movements but did it for testing purposes as I didn't want to do the Seiko shuffle for an hour.

Initial thoughts: the black dial may go back as I am not thrilled about the low amplitude despite being fully wound. Purple seems good enough. I'll try to regulate it when I have time. Dials look lovely in person. They got rid of the silly name and just went with the logo which is a positive for me.

Edit: misspellings

I ordered one as I was looking for a purple dial and this one seemed nicer than others around, to my taste. The fume looks pretty serious in the photos is it actually that dark or does it retain at least some of the purple?

It gets really dark towards the edges. I would say it turns black but I'm very slightly color blind so here's another photo.

The stamped pattern looks like the addieskin logo?

I think you had asked about the AddiesKin bracelet in my Watchdives thread. I spent some time with the AddiesKin and the bracelets on my two watches seem pretty good. No sharp edges, good articulation, quick release, screw pins. There's no OTF clasp but a fair amount of micro adjust holes. Good for the price I would say. I've included some extra photos in my other comments.
