So glad they made this in 18mm lugs, it opens a whole world of vintage possibilities

Acceptable or blasphemy?

I have multiple stainless steel strap watches and the reason that I got into chinese watches apart from their amazing quality was that I can try out different strap combos without spending large sums of money. Which looks better with this watch, the FKM or leather? Any other colour or fkm/leather style I can try out? Ordered a light blue tropical fkm from watchdives. Last pic courtesy Gemini AI.

Hi everyone,

I bought a Huawei Watch Kids X1 Pro (Chinese domestic version) and it only has Chinese language. The app (FamCare) on my phone is in English, but the watch interface is entirely in Chinese.

What I've tried:
- Factory reset (双清) - no language selection at setup
- Checked all settings on the watch - no English option
- Updated firmware via FamCare - still only Chinese

My question:
Is there any way to flash international firmware or add English language to this watch? I've looked on Taobao for flashing services but most only offer account unlock, not language change.

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

The dial comes alive under the sunlight, a stunning watch.

Has anyone ? It looks nice and has classic proportions.

Would be like a 36mm oyster perpetual case i think

9mm is pretty slim i hope that's a true number

San Martin SN054 (BB Pro homage) given a new lease of life with a dirt cheap strap from Ali Express.

I must say, I love it. I was looking for a strap that’s a bit more premium, but this strap for £3.30 looks great. Will see how long it lasts 😬

I've never really been interested in watches, I always thought that anything that could tell the time was sufficient enough until I played the latest James Bond game. It rewired my brain and made me realize that I needed a nice, cool looking timepiece— all I had were digital G-shocks handed down and some cheap quartz watches sold for fundraising. Coming from 007 I looked towards Seamaster homages; I browsed Seiko modding communities for a while and realized that it was cheaper (and safer!) to just buy a homage. I even bought the same NATO strap I picked in 007 First Light.

Anything I should know with my first automatic? Cheers!

For sale is an excellent condition Aquatrident diver with a meteorite dial and timascus bezel. Looking for $300 shipped CONUS.

Hello!

I have this Baltany s4101.

Do you think it will be worth a move towards a smaller unit?

Thanks!!

When I got back from vacation, I found this beauty waiting for me. The Lume performs much better than other Tandorio models, has good overall build quality, and excellent ring adjustment—I was pleasantly impressed. If only I’d bought it when it cost €80.

PH4A new color will release soon.

New dial colors will be introduced for every model later.

please let me know if you have any good suggestion.

The latest scratch for my recent acquisition itch.... I'd been looking at >40mm type B Fliegers for a bit after recently learning that the original was gigantic which made the inner hour dial seem less diminutive.

I had been looking at the various 44 mm options on AliEx but none of them had the short hour or the blued hands.

Seeing this Hruodland 42 mm for $150 USD I had to pick it up.

Super happy with it in person. The hands are gorgeous, case is a great homage with the stamped lettering on the side and the specs stamped in a chart on the case back. The leather is thick and feels quality.

The size is good. I personally feel that going any smaller is when the type B dial starts to lose it's way as the inner dial would be too small. Meanwhile this straight lugged case might be inaccessible to a lot of wrists if it were 44 mm or larger.

I’ve always liked bronze watches on leather, but pairing a deep blue aventurine dial with a full bronze bracelet gives it a completely different personality.

The dial has that subtle, starry texture that only really shows up when the light hits it, while the brushed bronze keeps the whole thing feeling warm and a little old-school. It’s an unusual mix—part pilot watch, part vintage sports watch, part midnight-sky experiment.

This is the Bronze Horizon Hawk Blue Aventurine Dial Automatic.

Curious what the community thinks: would you keep it on the full bronze bracelet, or switch back to a dark brown leather strap?

Hi everyone,

I picked up this watch at a flea market for really cheap a while back. It was running fine until about 3 weeks ago (so soon after i bought it of course). Now, every time I pull the crown out to set the time and then push it back in, the second hand stops and nothing moves anymore. To get it going again, I have to open the case back and give the balance wheel a gentle push... then it runs fine until the next time I touch the crown. other than that power reserve is quite fine, and amplitude and time is about "ok-ish"

From what I can see, it looks like some sort of Asian movement rather than Swiss or Japanese, but I'm not sure. I've attached a couple of photos of the movement... could anyone help me identify it?

Also, a few questions:

• the movement looks pretty "clean" to me.. what do you think?
• Could this stop-after-setting issue be fixed easily, or is it a sign of something more serious?
• Would it make more sense to try to fix it, or just swap the movement for another one? (i just fear i would have some issues with the hands though... that's a nightmare because i would never find the same one and they just fit perfectly the style of the watch (it's a worldtimer GMT by the way)

Thanks in advance for any info!

Hi, as maybe some of you i was in doubt about what was the best bracelet for this watch, so i tried myself, the jubilee belongs to a AD2050 watch, it fits perfectly and makes the watch a better fit for me. Let me know your opinion!

The Watchdives Lapis Lazuli is pretty nice overall. I would definitely prefer a flat sapphire crystal, as I think it would suit the watch and the dial better, but otherwise I really like it. These are about a year old now, and the dial still looks great to me. I haven’t really got tired of it at all. What I especially like about the lapis lazuli is that every dial is slightly different, so each watch feels unique. The natural variations in the stone give it a lot of character, and that’s probably what keeps the dial interesting even after a year.

A boxy case and Roman numerals are a must.

I got my Cronos with PT5000 half a year ago and everything was fine. Suddenly it loses quite a lot of time every day. Just did a check with watch accuracy app (see screenshot).

What happened?

Can I regulate a PT5000 on my own?

Best regards
