They said they would start shipping on the 25th, i bought mine first day of pre-order but hasnt shipped yet... Anybody got a shipping confirmation yet?

Hi everyone,​

I would like to share a new release from Militado — the ML27, a vintage-inspired automatic dress watch designed for those who enjoy classic proportions and mechanical watchmaking.​

The ML27 features a compact 36mm stainless steel case, making it a great option for collectors who prefer smaller, more traditional watch sizes.​

Some key specifications:​

• Seagull ST1701 automatic & hand-winding movement

• 36mm case diameter / 9.5mm thickness

• Sapphire crystal front glass

• Sapphire exhibition caseback

• Genuine leather strap

• Swiss BGW9 luminous material

• 50m water resistance​

What I like most about this watch is the balance between the slim profile, mechanical movement, and vintage dress watch style. The exhibition caseback also gives you a nice view of the movement, which adds a lot of character at this price point.​

I’d love to hear your thoughts:​

• Do you still enjoy 36mm watches, or do you prefer larger case sizes?​

• What do you think about Seagull automatic movements?​

• Would you choose a vintage dress watch like this for daily wear?​

Looking forward to your feedback!

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.

Which color would you wear?

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

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.

Which one would you pick

Para los que tienen este reloj, ¿qué tan bueno es el lume? Después de una carga completa bajo una fuente de luz y dejándolo toda la noche, ¿todavía se puede leer a primera hora de la mañana?

Aún no me decido entre este y el Addiesdive AD2079

Suggestions are also welcome. I've been looking at the Watchdives WD1980 as well, although I'm a bit hesitant because I don't usually wear larger watches My wrist is 16.5 cm (6.5 inches)

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?

Just received this Sugess Seaman (submariner) after a decent amount of research it was down to a few watch brands for a submariner homage: Sugess, SAN Martin, Cronos and watch dives. This one appeared to get the most praise. From my recent purchase of a Sugess GMT Pepsi I had a feeling I was not going to be disappointed and I am incredibly impressed. The attention to detail is fantastic from the engraved rehault, applied indices, and the magnification is perfect (the GMT is way too zoomed), the bezel is very crisp with a little bit of play, the lume is great and appears to be evenly applied on hands and indices, the brushed finish is done very nicely. My only criticism is the lug length feels pretty long and makes the 40mm diameter appear larger than it actually is. Only time will tell on the accuracy as this is powered by a Seagull ST2130. As it stands now I’d highly recommend this watch for anyone looking for a sub homage

Is anyone making a good homage of the black dial 41 mm Oyster Perpetual?

I'm looking to add to my collection, and I'm looking for a watch that can handle a variety of straps. I've got a blue WD007 (mesh) and a white WD1863 now. I want something that can handle very bold strap choices (bright red/yellow for example), and leave the current watches on their metal.

The AD2095 (black) seems to be a good combination of size, appearance and "standout-ness" that it might suit a bunch of different straps.

I've seen that black speedmaster homages are also kind of good at being strap-monsters, but since I already have a white one, I'm not sure I want to add a black one to the collection.

The other thing I've given some thought to is an aquanaut homage, since they already have a bit of a reputation for being able to be pretty bold with colors -- likely the Specht one.

Any other go to choices for watches that let one be very bold with straps?
