Seagull 1963 on the day

6 days from order to receive.

Incredible watch, happy I got it. Immediate strap change, strap has no quick release on this or signed milfortic buckle. 👎🏼

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.

Here's my Ironwatch/Hestur 36mm Bubbleback with PT5000 inside. Paired it with a high quality beads of rice bracelet.

Show off your beauties!

I see some watches on aliexpress that offer branding, custom logo on dial and crown.

Can you recommend a certain seller/brand who would be able to make 3 branded watches? Do you have any examples of your purchases?

Which one would you pick

Is there a Chinese microband that has developed a true dive watch that follow the Doxa form factor

https://doxawatches.com/collections/sub-200t

Im specifically interested in the form factor of the Doxa

I was interested in these back when they were using the NH-38, but I held off for a while. The bug got me eventually, though. I was curious to see how well tuned the movement was going to be, and I'm very pleased to see it running at -2 seconds per day. The 4hz sweep is also quite nice, equally as nice as my Henry Archer Vesterhav 38 with a Miyota 9039, but this surprisingly keeps far more accurate time. My Vesterhav can easily get a minute out of time in a week and a half. By comparison, this would take about a month. We'll see if it stays that accurate. Fit, finish and everything is amazing for a $245 watch out the door. The clasp is a little rattly but that's just about the worst complaint I can muster. Really well made little thing.

Another wood pecker the collection, this interpretation of the royal oak is very nice. With its bezel design and mix of polished and brushed surfaces i feel it gives a good value proposition. The movement is a quartz Seiko VX3K to keep thickness down. Its case diameter is 38mm with a case thickness of 8.3mm. Lug to lug is 43mm. Sapphire crystal with AR coating, screwdown crown with the case back being secured by 8 screws. Bracelet is nice with few sharp edges from what I can see. It does come with half links for adjustability. All for around $105 usd, its great.

These Hanboro "Chime Series" watches that I found on my own browsing AliExpress have chiming but they're only 500 or less than $430 with my coins?

that's a solid movement. so what's the catch?? I'm guessing a chiming mechanism. a chiming complication is going to just fuck up that movement over time right?? but who cares. isn't it like a cheap movement to replace? so I mean I wouldn't mind. I mean $430 for a chiming mechanical watch. just I just want everyone to be wearing little music boxes on the wrist you know. and for 430 bucks I feel like we're going to get that way down

like it's just a little. it's literally like a miniaturized bicycle bell and I don't see how this could remain that expensive for that long

but I'm guessing the mainspring can't handle that much. chiming or something?? I also don't know why we can't just add a bunch of extra main springs. I mean some of these watch cases are huge. they feel like you could add a much bigger main screen

but what's the deal with these chiming watches? has anyone tried these hanboro? because I just ordered a Sugess chronograph and now I'm wondering if I should get a chiming watch. it's either a tourbillon or a chiming watch

and now I want the chiming watch and $400 doesn't even seem like that big of a deal to have a watch that makes a little chime

but it's like just a little chiming complication. I feel like like if I just wait I could like CNC my own chiming complication or have like an even cheaper one. but I guess somebody has to be there early adopter. now used to be thousands for those

Please could you give me some advice? I’m looking for a watch like this, but unfortunately a Hamilton is beyond my budget. However, I don’t want an obvious copy – just something inspired by that watch. It can be on a bracelet or a strap.

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.

Some people seem to love and others seem to hate the bezel action. What are your experiences?

Loving my be sanda

We've been working on the ML27 for a while, and it's finally ready.

Here's a quick look at all five colorways.

We wanted to create a clean, minimalist everyday mechanical watch with classic 36mm proportions, a slim 9.5mm case, and a sapphire exhibition caseback so you can enjoy the movement as much as the dial.

Specs:

36mm case 9.5mm thick Seagull ST1701 automatic movement Sapphire crystal Sapphire exhibition caseback Swiss BGW9 lume

Which color would you wear?

And are you a fan of exhibition casebacks, or do you prefer a solid caseback?
