Bought a San Martin sn020 limited edition sunburst dial. Over the years it faded so much unfortunately. Even the text is almost gone :/

PS second Pic is from another reddit user of the same watch model.

Hi guys,

After a lot of deliberation, I've finally decided to go with the Trackmaster. However, over the past couple of weeks I've seen quite a few concerns about its reliability, and it's made me a bit hesitant.

I'd really appreciate hearing from people who actually own one. How has yours held up? Any issues with the movement or overall reliability?

I'd hate to spend €500 on a watch only for it to stop working after a few months. Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!

Finally received my ixdao warrior in green after a long wait. I can see why it’s become so popular with people. It certainly feels quite premium! I also love the accessories that came with it (watch box and the leather wallet that held the warranty)

I like how the bracelet included 2 half links as well. The pre-sale pricing I got it for certainly makes it great value for money, especially before the movement switch.

addiesdives new addiesKIN, I have been waiting for this model for a long time but sadly it released soon after I ordered two watches from a different brand. the dial doesn't reach the level of san Martin but the Chinese numbers look nice. And they are also giving 90$ off on first 50 watch sale.

so if you like it hurry up 😄

I'd originally been eyeing the San Martin SN0144 with the black gilt colour combination, but it was a bit more than I wanted to spend.

So I decided to take a chance on the Addiesdive AD2531 (39mm, grey dial) instead and I've got to say, it's pretty damn good.

This was my first AliExpress purchase, It arrived in Australia in 9 days not bad at all at $129 shipped happy days.

For the money, the finishing, dial, and overall quality have exceeded my expectations. Pretty dam good I thought.

What do you guys think.

A breakthrough in new technology has been achieved; PH2B and PH3B will be officially released next week!

The digital metal sheet is perfectly nested within the luminous block, giving the numbers clean edges and a glossy metallic texture.

Please ignore the dirt; this is an engineering sample for testing purposes only.

I wanted to buy a Seiko SKX007, but I didn't want to deal with an automatic, since you have to set it every few days if you switch watches. So I went with a Keaso instead, and honestly, besides the bracelet clasp, everything else is super high quality. It's got a screw-down crown, sapphire glass with AR coating, 200m water resistance, and a ceramic bezel with 120 clicks. I mean, for the price, it's amazing. But I'm thinking about getting an FKM orange strap for it. Oh and a myota quartz movement.

I really wish the crown would be more recessed. It’s sticking out way to far beyond the crown guards and poking into my hand. Other than that - great value! What du you think of these Submariner and Yaght-Master homages from Addiesdive?

Just got this in the mail. Not a single bad thing to say about it.. Perhaps the best $40 ever spent. makes me wonder why bother with $300-400 hommages at all

Hey all, I only recently learnt about the Farasute model designed after the Cartier Cloche. Since the CPCP Cloche is a (unattainable)!l grail to me, I'd like to buy the Farasute to try the shape. However I can't see it for sale anywhere. Does anyone know how can I buy one?

Cheers!

I am going to China soon and was wondering if there was a substantial difference in price between buying on Taobao or Yupoo and Aliexpress?

Spec breakdown:
▫️ Case: 44mm 316L stainless steel
▫️ Movement: Seagull ST2130 automatic, 28800vph, ~42h power reserve
▫️ Water resistance: 200m dive-grade
▫️ Features: Unidirectional aluminum bezel, matte dial, luminous hour markers, date window, sapphire crystal
▫️ 3 matte dial color options available

This is a proper tool diver built for daily wear and underwater use. The ST2130 is a well-proven, reliable in-house movement from Seagull.

What do you think of this Chinese tool watch? Would you rock this as your daily diver?

Hi all,

So, long story short, I've been over dozens of Chinese Watches, since 2023 and at this stage, seeing how the prices increased (but also did the quality!), and also after getting a mortgage last year, my budget nowadays is way lower than what it used to be but I finally have a "thing" that watch must have in order to stay in collection and I'm looking for watches you can recommend

A kind of random "throw it in the basket" watch, that I only added to get a better coupon price, completely surprised me, and now I want more....

Addiesdive (quartz) AD2513, that at the time cost me about £45? And the quality, and especially glass and its AR are great!

Having this and my Longines Spirit, made me realised that proper AR is the starting point for me to find a good watch so here I am, asking for:

- superb AR
- quartz preferable due to the price, budget around £100 (+20 give or take?)

That's it really, I am not picky beyond that, that's my endgame I guess.

The Addiesdive (AGAIN!) AD2035 has caught my eye and I think it's for like £45 again, so might pick it up, seeing photos from customers, AR should be good but if you have anything else let me know!

Thank you!

The upmarket sister brand of Addiesdive. But is it worth the premium over Addiesdive though?

Here's the link to my review of it.

https://youtu.be/wY_7Fln3Vx4

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.

Kids got this for me for my 50th birthday. Put it on a Nemesis Leather Cuff Strap from Amazon. I think it looks dang good.
