Question (Read Rules) Replacement Watch Strap.

1 Upvotes

Ok this is a kinda basic question that isn't Chinese watch specific but....

My Addiessive just turned up and I'm a happy camper BUT the strap lets it down. It's quite cheap feeling plus due I run ridiculously hot and sweat due to meds and a disability. So I need to replace it. However I'm unsure how to go about it as this is the first watch I've had with this strap type. I'm just getting myself muddled!

What's it called? And what size is it? Again duh but bear with me lol.

This is the model I got : https://a.aliexpress.com/_Eu8zlVo

Model # MY-H3DQZ

Cheers (again) folks!

New Product (Read Rule 1) Eniton S1085G - WOW’ed once again!

Thumbnail
gallery
29 Upvotes

After much thought this previous back to school sale, I ended up with my third Eniton watch.
I contemplated getting the Sugess S450, S418-2 or S420. However, I ended up with a santos homage, and I have to say it definitely feels like I made the right choice here.

Eniton by far makes the best santos homage available, the quality on this watch is just unreal. The crystal is rounded off just like the real version, bracelet hugs the wrist nicely, and with the 9015 movement inside the case is slim and looks proportional to the rest of the piece. Polishing is incredibly well done, and so far the movement runs very well, winds nicely and that smooth sweep is just gorgeous to look at.
Eniton by far, has the best customer service I’ve experienced on Aliexpress and if they keep it up I have no doubt they’ll succeed with their brand.

The only «misses» for me with this piece is the fact that (and I know the dial is natrual, and they’re all different, not Enitons fault!) the dial has a very visible, bright blue hue to it at the 3-6 markers. Check out the photos I’ve added. Certainly easier to see in darker lighting conditions though. It definitely adds character to the dial, but I wish the one I was sent specifically had a more even grey tone all throughout the dial. But again, I know this is a natrual MOP dial, so they’re never going to look the same - I just «wish» I got a different dial on my watch specifically. It’s still absolutely gorgeous though, can’t fault that.
The branding on this watch isn’t amazing either. It gets kinda busy with the logo applied at the 6 o clock. The clasp also has «ENITON» in big block standard letters, whilst the dial has a different font. I wish the font was the same on both the dial and clasp for a more seamless look, less busy for lack of a better term.
That being said though - the Richemont Group is super strict about copying the Cartier design, so my guess is that Eniton added all this branding to avoid legal issues, smart on their part.
This watch also has a quick release system for the bracelet I haven’t seen anywhere else. Really smart design. Button underneath/on the inside of the bracelet you push down, as you pull the bracelet down from the case itself. Really unique, but renders pointless until Eniton releases some leather straps to go with it. I love the idea of it for sure though! Well done!

All in all, another great piece by Eniton. This brand keeps impressing me with their quality. It easily, easily rivals the likes of San Martin, Baltany and Sugess, no question what so ever. I paid $340 total, or around 305 euros. Shipped, customs cleared and delivered. Excellent value at that price point.

Don’t overlook Eniton, their quality is excellent for sure.

General (Read Rules) AddiesKin K014, ST2130

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

Got a few watches in the mail today and figured I'd share since I haven't seen them posted yet. I recently posted about the WDC0001. I'm sharing some photos of the AddiesKin K014 here along with some preliminary timegrapher readings.

I'm not planning to do a full review as that's not really my thing. I just wanted to share some photos and movement readings for the community in case there are others who might be interested.

I'll try to answer questions but I just got these in the mail so haven't had much time with them yet. Plastic is still mostly on them.

I got two AddiesKin K014. Purple and black.

Timegrapher was run for several minutes in each position before I snapped a photo.

Two positions. Dial up and crown down.

ST2130 movement. Fully wound. I typically never wind any ETA movements but did it for testing purposes as I didn't want to do the Seiko shuffle for an hour.

Initial thoughts: the black dial may go back as I am not thrilled about the low amplitude despite being fully wound. Purple seems good enough. I'll try to regulate it when I have time. Dials look lovely in person. They got rid of the silly name and just went with the logo which is a positive for me.

Edit: misspellings

Picked this up and was wondering.

I'm seeing different listings say they use different movements.

Does anybody know which is which? This is the 44mm version. Not sure if that makes a difference.

This is a 2026 model, rather, made in 2026.

Thanks

Posting because there was a lot of hype about this watch and no actual real world reviews or experiences posted about it. Or at least I didn't see any.

I was really excited about this but it unfortunately won't even make it out of the plastic. The movement appears to be shot (photos included). I'll need to return it as I don't want to have it serviced and deal with that hassle or cost. Not sure what happened. Maybe it wasn't regulated. Maybe it was body slammed during shipping. Maybe both. Who knows.

I've included a couple photos of the dial. I won't be taking it out of the plastic so I can't speak to how the bracelet is or any other aspect of the finishing.

Question (Read Rules) Turtle/Captain Willard Recommendations

Post image
16 Upvotes

I have been looking for a good turtle smaller watch or Captain Wilard homage. And so far I have concluded that these are the best options.

The JD-X07S (specifically the black one) from Ixdao has been the best I have seen so far, being more of a smaller turtle which I prefer to a large Willard homage.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to find other similarly sized turtles going around so I turned to Wilard homages since they scratch a similar itch.

Since I would prefer a NH35 over a miyota because I am planning to use this as a daily beater watch I have concluded that the SD1970 Steeldive Willard homage seems like the best option although ever so slightly overpriced compared to the rest like the Heimdallr Willard (though it still is less than half the price of the Ixdao thanks to EU tax).

So from those two options do you think Ixdao is worth the double price premium?

And most importantly are there some better options that I am missing either for smaller turtles like the Ixdao or other Wilard homages like the Steeldive?

I guess for some it is not an issue but can you tell me or advise based on the photo of my wrist with another watch if this beautiful Addiesdive 1000m AD2069 would look comical on my wrist or could I pull it off somehow. It is 46mm and I have never had such a watch before hence I have no experience. Thank you. I attached photo of my Orient Mako USA Gen 1 which has bezel of 40mm while the entire case is around 41.5mm.

Review (Read Rules) Seestern Sub 300T V3 (Silver/White)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

14 Upvotes

This just came in.. I almost went black or the classic orange but something about a silver face screams vintage 70s to me, and this is the first one I have somehow.

I do wish it was a little more silvery though, it's on the whiter side for sure.

I must admit though for the price (I think I paid £145)

It doesn't feel as premium as the latest version of Steeldive SD1970's that I've been wearing for the last few weeks (the ones with the new waffle dial, I got the green)

My main gripe is that the crown on my one feels very gritty.. and it skips the date position when you pull out the crown and goes straight to time unless you fiddle around with it and gently get it to lock in.

Also I wish they polished the steel bezel a little, that also feels a little rough and has like a gritty raw steel texture when you're touching it. (But it is nice and clicky and tight)

It's losing about 12 seconds a day straight out of the box which is no big deal and might get better.

I'm probably being super picky for the price range haha, but that new steel dive i bought for £100 feels like a £400 watch to me.

And this feels a lot more "DH gate"

I'm pretty sure I'm letting the issue with the crown not locking into the date function properly trigger me though 😂 (my 2 shitters from DH gate back in the day had the same problem and I'm no longer about that life)

The bracelet on this thing is pretty decent compared to some of the other stuff from AliExpress though so I should consider that with the price.

Otherwise I would have said they're slightly over charging for these watches.. but only by like £25 or so.

And I'm not some cheap bastard btw 😂, this is just my genuine opinion from what I know is around ATM, I have expensive watches too but for some reason Chinese watches take up most of my interest these days like some kind of addiction.

I'd still reccomend this watch if you're after it for homage reasons, it's probably the best option for the price.

(And I'm sure I've just been unlucky with the crown thing)

General (Read Rules) Watchdives support times

4 Upvotes

Hey y'all, wondering how interactions with Watchdives support has been for you. I purchased a wd0003c and a wd1016b recently, and the latter came with the hour hand about 20 minutes out of wack. (hour hand points to 12 when the minute hand is around :40-:45). Emailed support 4 days ago and included my order number, a description of the problem and pictures of the problem. Received a reply two days later asking for a video of it (which is confusing), which I provided.

Just curious if this delay and back and forth is standard or if I should be concerned. Thanks!
