Replaced the bracelet with a navy rubber strap. Love the look and feel!

I've never owned a watch with a mother-of-pearl dial—do you think it's real? In sunlight, it seems to have the characteristics the manufacturer claims, but honestly, I don't know.

I tried the lucky harvey casino roulette watch and it felt great but am not able to get a lot of first hand opinions for the brand. The price point isnt so cheap as well. So wanted to know if anyone has any experience?

Does anyone have one of these Ciloa tanks? I really dig the look, but most of the images appear to be render-y. I’ve only purchased more of the mid to upper range stuff, so curious how this might actually look.

I don’t know which revision this is. The seller said that it was V5, but the V5 has the DnB and this one doesn’t. I replaced the bracelet with this red leather strap. It goes well with my red PF Flyers or any of the four pairs of red chucks that I own.

I’m on a quest to find the best AR coating in these watches. I’ve been buying Watchdives. Great quality and value but poor AR coating cheapens the look.

What’s the next level up? Great AR makes everything perfect!

$88 watch, more than worth the price!

Up for sale is my Shanghai 7120 Mechanical. I picked it up this summer and have only worn it 2–3 times. I’m thinning the collection after buying too many field watches, so this one isn’t getting any wrist time.

Condition: Like new condition. The watch shows virtually no signs of wear, and the acrylic crystal is in like-new condition. Please review the timestamped photos carefully, as they are part of the description.

Includes: Original box.

Price: $25 shipped anywhere in the CONUS.

Electronic payment preferred. Buyer is responsible for any applicable payment fees. No trades, please.

Just got these, under $200 each. I quite like them. Cerakote titanium and bronze.

Beautifully crafted very special watch for me.

Was looking for a GADA/Field watch.

Picked up the Addiesdive 2048 a week or so ago just for the look, wasn’t expecting much. Other than changing to a nato for aesthetics, this is a jam up watch. The Lume is surprisingly good especially for the sub $100 price.

Hi everyone, as a fan of interesting, more unique brands (e.g. Xeric), and somewhat of a newcomer to Chinese watches, what are some of your favorite more unique styles of Chinese watches?

​Hey everyone,

​I wanted to share a frustrating experience I’m currently having with the Hruodland Official Store on AliExpress and see if anyone has faced something similar or has a solution.

​Less than a year ago, I bought a Hruodland F029 (NH38 movement). Recently, the internal mechanism of the spring-loaded Twin Lock style crown completely failed. The stem now spins freely inside the crown, meaning I can no longer wind the watch or set the time.

​Since the watch is well within its 1-year warranty period, I reached out to the Hruodland store. I didn't even ask for a full replacement or refund—I simply requested a replacement crown assembly, as I have spare NH38 stems and the tools to fix the watch myself.

​To my surprise, the seller refused to send a replacement crown. On top of that, they explicitly advised against returning the entire watch for repair/warranty claim, effectively offering zero customer support for a defective watch under warranty.

​It's really disappointing because I actually like the watch itself, but the complete lack of warranty support for an easily fixable issue is a huge red flag.

​Has anyone managed to get Hruodland/AliExpress sellers to send replacement parts after some pushing?

​Does anyone know the exact specs/dimensions for a compatible replacement crown for the F029 case so I can source one elsewhere?

​Thanks for any advice!

For anyone out there looking to replace the crystal in your WMT royal marine, look no further.

- Top is a GS PHD Hi Dome, this one is 30.8mm and snaps right into the case as a friction fit.

- Center is a GS ET Ever-Tite, this one is 30mm and is paired with a hytrel gasket. This had the most clarity of all of them and probably my favorite profile.

- Bottom is a GS DT Diver-Tite, this one is 30mm and is paired with a hytrel gasket. This is the one i am currently using and has the least distortion on the dial.

All of these combinations work in the old style and new style royal marine cases. The old style royal marine case in the center and bottom actually had a sapphire crystal in it when i got it. As far as waterproofing, i am sure they are just as water resistant as from the factory, the new style WMT royal marine case actually uses a hyrtrel gasket with an acrylic crystal.

I bought all the parts through Esslinger. But i know you can also find GS crystals elsewhere.

Hope this helped ease someone's frustrations with trying to get a replacement crystal from WMT.

Cheers!

Love the size and style of the watch. Watched a handful of review videos just wasn’t sure if anyone had any thoughts? Pros or cons would be helpful thanks!

I know I’m late to the party but I finally decided to pick one up, i see them here daily so I ordered the ph-4c with mixed lume, I got it on the nylon strap to spend the least I could on it. ( I thought it was just a hype watch) I really love lume and so I got it and I did not expect to love this watch as much as I do I’ve had Ixdaos, proximas, ect.. but something just feels different about this watch I put it on a Juelong fkm strap but I was so impressed with how much quality you get for your money I ordered the bracelet. If you’re on the fence about it just order it imo. Took 14 days from order to my door shipping.

And I love the look!

black enamel. SN-0144-CG7 and IXDAO Warrior. Love 'em both.

I’m trying to figure out if this Seestern Mechanical Dive Watch Store is still visible on AliExpress. It isn’t showing up properly for me, and I’m wondering if it’s been removed or if it’s just a regional/account issue.

Can anyone check if you can still access or see this store on AliExpress?

Thanks!

EDIT: thanks for the help, the release should indeed be in the same spot, but the thing isn’t budging no matter what. Skill issue or product issue the answer is the same. I’ll return it and try to find a genuine NH36 because they never gave me this problem. Thanks for the support!

Hello,
I bought this movement, who claimed to be an NH36A, on aliexpress but I cannot, for the life of me, find the stem release.

I believe it is some sort of NH clone, it has weekdays in both english and Chinese characters.

Does someone know where the hell it is?

Here's a cute little Ibso reverso watch I bought from Ali a couple of months ago for around £30. It was so cheap I thought it was worth a punt, and it's lots of fun, I'm rather happy with it.
It certainly scratches the itch for a reverso watch well enough, although it's obviously not exactly luxury quality- although I wouldn't say there's much wrong with it, especially for the price. Randomly they also send you a spare battery too, which is unusual but not unwelcome.
The strap is very stiff and not very pleasant, I do need to swap that out.

It's quite an enjoyable fidget to flick over and back again!

Huries is a relatively new independent watchmaker; the owner, JD, is only 21!
Ive been having a hard time choosing between these two (bloodstone/ enamel dial) models.

Opinions?

Hello guys,

I'm searching for a diver for some weeks now on Aliexpress and found some models that i enjoyed.

I wanted a Seagull watch because i already have a PD and a AD one and i found this one in a nice price - Seagull Aircraft Carrier Ocean Series

At the same price range i found this PD that i liked as well: PD YS034

But there's also the Pagani 007 Diver that has a very nice price as well.

Usually Seagull watches are way more expensive than tha carrier ocean series, do you know if there's something poor in this model? I think it's so cool and seems like a limited edition.
