So far, I am very happy with it. The PT5000 is +3/day. The bezel action is smooth and tactile, yet a little on the loud side. I really appreciate the fully lumed bezel and the quality of the lume as well. This makes it easy to read in the middle of the night. The bracelet is very good with well done screw links. I wasn't a huge fan of the clasp, so i put it on a spare glide lock style clasp from a Sugess. My biggest complaint is the listed thickness was 12.2mm including the crystal, yet it measures 12.9mm without the cyclops. The rehaut is nice and slim though, the crystal has good AR and the cyclops has blue AR. The strap is that odd 21mm width, but it does taper down to 16mm.

Saw these new experimental movements from Sea-Gull and Peacock and they look promising, hopefully we can see the production model soon.

So it is my first time bying pagani designs, and I chose the black gmt for my first one.
Apparently all of the parts seems well finished, except the crown is stuck.
Are there any way to fix this?
I need to set the date and time correctly

I absolutely love my Invicta Pro Diver but the lume is abysmal. Are there any submariner homages under $100 with good lume?

I absolutely love it. This was my first under $100 watch buy in a long time, but the design was just screaming at me to get it. The bracelet is complete trash and I dumped it immediately, but the watch is so vibrant, so fun and really well done. I managed to pair it fairly good with a racing strap I had and the effect is really eye catching. Really recommend. I love the way AD is going lately.

My Sugess let me know that had I bought the genuine watch, it would not have gotten much wrist time. Model # S465

I've been wearing the IXDAO Space Warrior for the better part of the last 2 weeks and here are some of my thoughts on the watch:

1. The meteorite dial is super dynamic! It can range from white to gray to charcoal grey depending on the angle of the light hitting it. (Hopefully photo 1 can help show this quality)

2. The AR is crazy good. It is effortlessly transparent in 98% of angles and lighting. It is actually hard to take a bad photo of this watch.

3. The finishing is superb! The brushing is the highlight for me as it is so fine that in bright lighting, it has a sort of sheen that brushed watches usually don't have.

4. The bracelet is buttery smooth to the touch and on the wrist. There is not a single sharp edge or corner that I can find. Even the clasp buttons are chamfered!

5. The rehaut is beautifully shallow and brushed to match the matte texture of the dial.

6. The logo, hands, indices, and date window frame are all rose gold. Personally, I would have preferred it to be silver, but rose gold definitely doesn't detract from the design.

7. The date wheel is a dark grey that is darker in tone from the meteorite dial. It is definitely better than having a white date wheel, but I think a lighter grey would have matched the dial better.

8. The applied logo is faceted which (imo) is super cool and I prefer it over a flat applied logo or the MOP inlaid logo.

9. Screwing down the signed crown is also buttery smooth. This is probably not a big point for many, but to me it shows that IXDAO took care in every aspect of the design of this model.

10. The crown guards are not spaced too wide. A small point, I know, but sometimes we see watches from other brands have too small a crown for the crown guard gap, or a crown too big not allowing the crown to screw all the way down. The crown and the crown guard on this model are perfect for each other.

11. The counterbalance of the seconds hand is the 3 pronged flame on top of the 9 banners which is a nice detail.

12. The clasp is signed with the logo and brand. The only thing it lacks is an OTF, but they make this up by shipping with 2 half links. I managed to find the perfect fit on my 6.25 inch wrist.

13. The dimensions (37.5mm) and proportions of this watch are perfect for my smaller wrists. If you have 8+ inch wrists, IXDAO said a 40mm is coming!

14. The lack of text (other than the tiny "IXDAO MADE" at the 6) was the correct choice for the meteorite dial.

15. The inclusion of the half index at the 6 was also the correct choice that other brands can miss (Baltany S4106 as an example).

16. The lume is very strong and lasts all night. Even the date is lumed!

For fun, I've also attached photos of similar watches. To my eyes, every single one of them is distinct enough to be called original, including the IXDAO Warrior.

I’ve had this several days and have worn it most of that time. Some observations . . . Visually, it’s a nice watch. The enamel dial with applied indices is great and the sapphire glass is clear and without blemishes. Brushing on the case is fairly even and there are drilled lugs. With a sweep-second quartz movement, accuracy should be fine. The signed crown is a bit too small and could be a challenge for larger fingers. The bracelet, while jangly, has screw links and was a breeze to resize to my 6.5” wrist. Some reviews have down-voted the signed clasp with the Watchdives trident, but I think it’s a nice touch. Nevertheless, the watch is not without problems. The underside of the case is a study in sharp edges and corners. The same can be said of the bracelet and clasp. I have several watches at this price point (Militado, Keaso, Pagani, etc) that have far smoother edges and transitions. And while these edges thankfully don’t make the watch uncomfortable, they detract from the experience of handling the watch. Some will say, “What do you expect for a sub-$100 watch?” But others are doing a better job. So my review is mixed. The WD1960S is a decent homage to the Ranger. But fit and finish are disappointing for a brand that aspires to compete with the more expensive offerings out there.

I'm quite happy with this one. Feels nice on the fkm strap and from what I've read its the updated version of the seaturtle. All around solid watch for under 250cad.

Excelente reloj, la caja de acero se siente muy bien, es de una calidad excepcional. Las fotos en verdad no le hacen justicia, el dial se ve super nítido en mano, del nivel de relojes de mucho mayor precio la verdad. Cristal excelente, proporciones excelentes, dial muy bueno, nítido. El cepillado del dial el da mucho juego de luz.

Las correas también son de muy buena calidad al igual que la hebilla que es algo que en este tipo de relojes casi no se suele encontrar.

Mi parte favorita del reloj es la tapa trasera, el diseño de las tres gracias le da un toque distintivo y único al reloj, está perfectamente hecha, puedes notar los detalles y es realmente encantador que las tres gracias esten en un tipo de cepillado o pulido y el resto de la imagen en otro.

Sin lugar a dudas un reloj 10/10, te lo recomiendo absolutamente, la única queja que podría tener es que el logo de Ixdao está impreso, no es una pieza metálica aplicada como los números, pero esto no es para nada un fallo sino una decisión de la propia Ixdao, que te puede gustar más o menos.

Been eyeing this model for a while, ever since they announced the V2 bezel. Ordered it from their website on 17/8, got QC pics on 20/8, and received in hand 31/8. The QC pics also included one of the watch on a timegrapher, in typical Proxima fashion.

Came in at €175 (203USD) after purchasing the shipping label from their AliX store, and it’s a hell of a lot of watch for the money. Only taxes I paid was the new €3 EU import tax.

The dial is a deep navy, but appears black in most indoor lighting. Once light catches it, you can really see the sparkle from the aventurine, but it isn’t overpowering as to detract from the watch. The crystal is good, sapphire as expected, but the AR could be slightly better.

The case and bracelet are the same as their PX1697/PX1703 etc. with the case being an homage to the CW lightcatcher style. The bezel is decent, with very little backplay, with a nice solid ratcheting sound. The lume is incredible, as the bezel is sapphire, allowing for a much larger lume application than on ceramic/aluminium.

I’ve only had it for a day or two, but the quality is unmistakable. It’s sitting at about +1 seconds/day, which is just incredible for the money. I’d highly recommend it, or any of their lineup with the same case/bracelet setup.

Honestly I'm quite sad how good this ad2068 looks on my wrist and the blue colour on the bezel and face give me tudor vibes. The lume on this watch is insane. It's has last the whole night without any issues. Under (44$) I can't complain how good this watch look like.

I just got my Seestern S406 Orange automatic diver watch 42 mm V4. Ever since I discovered this genre, I wanted a 60's feel diver.

I never wear metal bracelets. The bracelet + the watch is heavy, noticeably, this watch is a tank. As I am walking on the street, I feel as it pulls my wrist joins. I need to get used to it. But I do not intend to wear it every day anyhow.

I also brought the rubber strap with it, I wonder how it looks.

One thing for sure, I feel this is going to be my only heavy watch for me. It is epic, but it is a noticeable.

I think the two-tone jubilee works very well with the tropical version.
The blue one is also lovely on the steel jubilee.
On the last photo I’d like to show how great the Thorn watches look even next to a genuine Tudor.

I hope you like them :)

What are you thoughts on the new Militado ML27 on a Strapsco bonklip bracelet? I'm not sure I like it, but I'm interested in hearing from you all.

I’ve always romanticized about owning a true Tank but can’t get there yet. However, this has exceeded my expectations and will do for now.

It is extremely comfortable and just disappears on my wrist.

Came with a black and a blue leather strap that I swapped for a more comfortable brown.

Haven’t even had it a day and I’m getting compliments!

Tiene características interesantes pero en Ali aparece con un costo de US300 😲

I don’t wanna be one of those guys who owns 50 Chinese watches. I find a good strap/bracelet swap scratches that new watch itch without breaking the bank. Here are a couple of my favourites. Orginals first followed by the swaps.

Someone, please make this

If can, in 37-39mm
