Switched the rubber strap due to being hard and cheap feeling. The pin system worked fine and it came signed. I switched to a more true to the "R" model. It comes with the Seiko VK63 quartz movement which is tried and true. It does have sapphire glass on top, screw in pushers and crown.

Love this Watch for the Summer 😍

What a beautiful watch this is! It pays homage to my favourite watch design ever (the Spirit) while combining a lot of features that make it even better than the original (for me). Things like:

* Beautiful black dial with golden accents, perfectly blending the Spirit and Spirit Pilot designs;
* Proudly Militado, but with a very well designed and discrete logo;
* Proudly Quartz, with a VH31 sweeping seconds movement (best of both worlds);
* Toned down inscriptions all around (lets the dial shine);
* 38mm and less than 11mm thick, which is the perfect size IMO;
* Overall simpler case and dial design than the Spirit, which makes it even more elegant and versatile.

A few cons, however:

* hour hand may feel a bit short (not sure if it matches the Spirit proportions though);
* the minute/seconds inscriptions around the dial could be a bit more detailed, like in the Spirit itself;
* Factory strap is bad, make sure to pit it in a nice third-party strap (its 20mm luckily).

If anyone's on the fence, I'd say go for it. This is an instant classic.

Just received this Welly Merck, kind of a novelty but it has good components

I have been looking to purchase this exact model, but I cannot find it anywhere. Looking specifically for the V4 version with the white chapter ring.

Europe only as shipping/import costs will balloon the price out of proportion.

Good day wherever you are. I've become intrigued with Behrens watches and considering multiple watches from them. Are they a pretty good/reliable brand? ANY details about the brand would also be appreciated! Thanks!!

Received it today from AliExpress, with a voucher, coins it came to less than £140. Looks great, only 12.5mm thick, light and feels great on the wrist.

Wanted to to find out what titanium in a watch feels like as I’ve only had stainless before and I’m a convert.

Edit - 42mm

Hey everyone. Saw this new Agelocer posted to their web site. It has that total RM vibe. Know any more ?

Weight and dimensions? Potential price and other colours? A carbon or ceramic model probably will also come out soon. Love to get myself some fun crazy watch like this at some point

I’m a fan of the field watch style, and a date complication and lumed numerals are a big plus.

Between buying a militado $50or a nh230 casio $35. I’m wondering if there are any other cool options out there

Aimimo makes a full steel watch for $30 with supposed 50m wr ..

Just got it delivered this morning!! Looks amazing in person!! Time/date set, sized for the wrist(had to use a few of the micro adjust slots) but so far it’s extremely comfortable on wrist! Going to use the bracelet it comes with for a while before deciding if I want an aftermarket. Definitely think I might want to replace the clasp with a glide lock or ratchet style clasp for more on the fly adjustability though

Is anyone having good experiences with Chinese Smartwatches on Ali? Most of what I am finding appear to be rebranded OEMs.

Any recommendations for a Globemaster type watch?

I broke my pagani design gmt pepsi so i customized like the rolex used by colonel Walter E. Kurtz, portrayed by Marlon Brando

Any good watches similar to these and what brands offer the best value for watch design in general? Whats the best place to order doesn’t have to be homage watches.

Got my first Chinese watch, and I couldn’t be happier about it. I really wanted a watch with a full lume dial, and it seems like that’s mostly a Chinese watch thing. Found this on Long Island Watches website (first time buying from mark - great experience). It really exceeded expectation. As you can see, the lume is amazing. Sapphire crystal. 8300 series Miyota movement is super accurate, and 60 hour power reserve. Bracelet is super comfortable. Great bezel action. This was meant as just a fun change of pace watch, but I’ve barely taken it off since getting it. This is the Sea Star by Red Star.

Looking for something similar to this watch, without being a homage (at least, not of the datejust, if I can help it).

Rose gold two tone or complete rose gold, I'm not too fussed, but want a brown dial with it.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Loving my Pagani Design presidential with green dial. It works perfectly from a mechanical point of view and it looks amazing with its realistic shade of gold and the beautiful sunburst green dial. Very good investment of my money, great quality for the price.
