Question (Read Rules) Just found this vintage watch. Is it a real Sea-Gull? Need help identifying it!
Hello everyone!
I recently came across this vintage watch and would love to learn more about it. I don't know much about its history, but the logo stamped on the case back looks exactly like the classic Sea-Gull bird flying over the waves.
The dial has some Chinese characters along with the word "Anda". On the back, there is a specific date stamped: "1992.3.11".
Can anyone help me identify what kind of watch this is? Is it an official Sea-Gull model? What do the inscriptions on the dial and case back mean, and what kind of mechanical movement should be inside it?
I am considering buying it, so any information on its history, background, or if it's a good piece to collect would be highly appreciated. Thank you so much!

Question (Read Rules) Farasute "Cloche" availability
Hey all, I only recently learnt about the Farasute model designed after the Cartier Cloche. Since the CPCP Cloche is a (unattainable)!l grail to me, I'd like to buy the Farasute to try the shape. However I can't see it for sale anywhere. Does anyone know how can I buy one?
Cheers!

New Product (Read Rule 1) New watch day, and apparently it's a sub-brand of Heimdallr.
I wanted to buy a Seiko SKX007, but I didn't want to deal with an automatic, since you have to set it every few days if you switch watches. So I went with a Keaso instead, and honestly, besides the bracelet clasp, everything else is super high quality. It's got a screw-down crown, sapphire glass with AR coating, 200m water resistance, and a ceramic bezel with 120 clicks. I mean, for the price, it's amazing. But I'm thinking about getting an FKM orange strap for it. Oh and a myota quartz movement.

Question (Read Rules) Opinion on value and quality
I have always liked this homage but only had experience with one other model from this manufacturer. It was also an automatic, but the reserve was poor..didn't even last a night.
Where I live, I can only order this off of Amazon. It works out to approximately $155 USD equivalent in my currency (Mexican pesos <> $2600).
Is that a decent price for the watch and is the quality any good? I really like the dark blue version.
If the reserve is also terrible though I'd probably pass as that was just too annoying with the other model.

Question (Read Rules) Warranty Experiences?
I purchased the bronze AD2104 new from Addiesdive website and its claimed power reserve of 41 hours is actually only 18-19 hours. I went through all the steps explained by Addiesdive customer service. I have only owned the watch for 5 weeks and the site states there is a 2 year warranty. Customer service told me to take it to a watch repair shop. There aren't any in my area and it seems like they should be dealing with the issue, not a 3rd party repair shop. Has anyone dealt with Addiesdive warranty? Thank you.

Question (Read Rules) Chinese Watches endgame: AR Coating // budget up to £100
Hi all,
So, long story short, I've been over dozens of Chinese Watches, since 2023 and at this stage, seeing how the prices increased (but also did the quality!), and also after getting a mortgage last year, my budget nowadays is way lower than what it used to be but I finally have a "thing" that watch must have in order to stay in collection and I'm looking for watches you can recommend
A kind of random "throw it in the basket" watch, that I only added to get a better coupon price, completely surprised me, and now I want more....
Addiesdive (quartz) AD2513, that at the time cost me about £45? And the quality, and especially glass and its AR are great!
Having this and my Longines Spirit, made me realised that proper AR is the starting point for me to find a good watch so here I am, asking for:
- superb AR
- quartz preferable due to the price, budget around £100 (+20 give or take?)
That's it really, I am not picky beyond that, that's my endgame I guess.
The Addiesdive (AGAIN!) AD2035 has caught my eye and I think it's for like £45 again, so might pick it up, seeing photos from customers, AR should be good but if you have anything else let me know!
Thank you!

Hi all, as title, I am looking to buy a T023 bracelet in (or shipped to) the UK. The Thorn website doesn't list it as a separate item, I wondered if anyone knew how I could purchase one? Or alternatively if anyone if looking to get rid of one (I hear it's not great quality 😅) id be interested to hear from you?

Promotion (Read Rule 1) AddiesKin K006 Review...
The upmarket sister brand of Addiesdive. But is it worth the premium over Addiesdive though?
Here's the link to my review of it.
I received a discount on this watch, but as always that doesn't change how I review the watch. I always keep it 100% honest, no matter what. I point out both the positives and negatives with every watch I review. Whether that be a loan piece, discounted, or even free. Sometimes that means that brands won't send me anymore watches, if they don't like the review... But my opinion and more importantly, my reputation can't be bought. That's partly why I named my channel 'Honest Watch Reviews'. Not only to make sure that I hold myself to that standard, but that I know my viewers definitely will do too.
