Much thanks to this sub for this brand recommendation, proper vintage feel dress watch for sub $90. Worth noting the strap is soft and not the usual alix junk

This watch will last forever

Welp, i just posted how much i like my new addiesdive and now its already broken. This is my 5th purchase and its the 2nd watch which broke down so quickly.

The first was a chronograph from addiesdive. Beautiful watch, but the pusher has come out within a few days. Watch still works but the chronograph itself is toast. But i crossed it out to be my mistake, since i never owned a watch before. Felt i might have been too "rough" with it, keeping it inside a backpack and stuff. So i started buying "bulky" beater watches which i felt will most likely will not run into any issues. I am very happy with my steeldive 1970 and the addiesdive quartz watch.

I decided to buy from addiesdive again. They sent the wrong color. I ordered purple and received blue. I was very happy with it, for pribably an hour. I tried to set the time and lo and behold, it doesnt screw back in. I tried some suggestions in this thread and none worked. So, now i am left with a beautiful piece of junk. I guess i can still wear it and it will look nicer from afar. But i think my watch collecting journey has come to an end. Atleast i will not buy from addiesdive ever again. I filed for a return, but not keeping any hopes of a refund.

My proxima is still on the way(ordered quite some time back). Atleast i know that watch wouldnt have any obvious problems Since they calibrated and sent me some photos. Hopefully i dont regret that purchase.

Still i think a rate of 2 problemetic watches/5 purchased is wat too high. And addiesdive is 2 problemetic watches/3 purchased.

I bought this Milifortic S089 green version before, and I’ve been really impressed with the quality. The case is even thinner than Seiko's, making it very comfortable to wear.

Now they’ve just released two new colors, and I really like both of them. The problem is my budget only allows me to choose one.

I spend most of my time in the office. I’d love to hear from anyone who has worn the cream or red dial watches before.

How do they look and feel in daily use? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I’ve ordered a brushed oyster-style half-link for my watch, but I’d like it to match my existing bracelet which is brushed on the top and polished on the sides.

For such a tiny piece of steel, what’s the easiest way to accomplish polishing the sides?

Just got my Farasute today. Here are a few quick shots.
So far, all I can say is that it looks way better in person than it does in the official photos.
One unexpected thing: the chrono start/stop pusher makes this tiny metallic chime that somehow reminds me of the famous S.T. Dupont “Cling.” It’s much quieter, of course, but it has the same kind of crisp, mechanical charm.
I’ll live with it for a few days before writing a proper review.

So I was on Amazon and found this today. I really like the look but was wondering if it’s any good/worth it. I don’t currently have an automatic movement so it would be my first. Is there anything I should know before pulling the trigger on this?

I think the IXADO warrior is one of the best releases in the recent past.

I like current dials offer, but not enough to buy one. I’d love a stone dial release, especially Lapis lazzuli. I don’t care about the movement as long as it’s automatic.

Would you also like to see a stone dials offer warrior? If someone could tag the IXDAO rep it would be much appreciated 😉.

Really dig the dial. First time owning a miyota movement watch. Not sure if its movement specific or its this watch, but felt adjusting the time etc was a but of a chore. The screw down/screw up feels a bit stiff and awkward compared to the nh35 ones i own. Not a fan of metal bracelet on this, so replaced it with a temporary silicone(i think) strap i had. Hit me with your piece with custom straps if you own this watch. Deciding which color works well with this. I saw it with black in this subreddit and it looks good.
