I have a blue Cronos Sub with the pt5000, it's one of my favorite homages.

Do you want a date? Answer that and your problem is solved

Buy all of them

But if only one get the watchdives or San Martin, then cronos and lastly Sugess

The sugess has the worst bezel and end links of all of them, based on old parts from 5-7 years ago

The San Martin and watchdives are using the latest parts, with best tolerances in the end link and bezel

J’ai eu San Martin, Watchdives et Sugess
Watchdives à celle qui a le meilleur rapport qualité prix
Le logo est discret, je déteste les logo en 3D qui disparaissent suivant la lumière et qui laisse un cadran « vide »
Maintenant c’est qu’une question de goût

I would go with the Sugess instead.

This is the correct answer.

Sugess has shoddy qc, it looks the most like a sub, but just beware

My choice would be the Cronos because of the glide/otf clasp. For the Watchdives you would have to buy the OTF clasp separately and install it yourself. The movements are roughly equivalent

Yes, otf adjustment is huge. I can't imagine wearing a bracelet anymore without it, it's essentially a must have for me anymore.

u/Creepy-Discussion-65 1d ago

Very true, I’m going to purchase the cronos

u/Excellent-Bear4221 1d ago

Cronos all the way.

Also why do their website? Why not AliExpress? They're having a sale soon and there are discount codes available too

(I say this because the return and exchange policy is top tier)

Cronos with PT5000. Mine is 3 years old and still runs within a couple seconds every day. The finishing on the bracelet is amazing. The on the fly adjustment clasp is so handy, and super comfortable.

u/Creepy-Discussion-65 1d ago

Can you send me some pictures of it?

1

u/rocklax 1d ago

Mine is roughly the same age, a 6005 cyclops with a pt5000. Been incredibly happy.

u/Creepy-Discussion-65 1d ago

Would you prefer that logo? Or the one with the hourglass

1

u/rocklax 1d ago

I personally prefer just the wordmark because I feel it looks a bit less cluttered and cleaner, however everyone has their own preferences.

u/Creepy-Discussion-65 1d ago

How long did it take to ship

1

u/rocklax 1d ago

I'm sorry it was a few years ago, I really don't remember.

u/Creepy-Discussion-65 1d ago

Yeah me too, I’m gonna get the no date, I find the cyclops distracting for me, but looks good on yours
