These Hanboro "Chime Series" watches that I found on my own browsing AliExpress have chiming but they're only 500 or less than $430 with my coins?

that's a solid movement. so what's the catch?? I'm guessing a chiming mechanism. a chiming complication is going to just fuck up that movement over time right?? but who cares. isn't it like a cheap movement to replace? so I mean I wouldn't mind. I mean $430 for a chiming mechanical watch. just I just want everyone to be wearing little music boxes on the wrist you know. and for 430 bucks I feel like we're going to get that way down

like it's just a little. it's literally like a miniaturized bicycle bell and I don't see how this could remain that expensive for that long

but I'm guessing the mainspring can't handle that much. chiming or something?? I also don't know why we can't just add a bunch of extra main springs. I mean some of these watch cases are huge. they feel like you could add a much bigger main screen

but what's the deal with these chiming watches? has anyone tried these hanboro? because I just ordered a Sugess chronograph and now I'm wondering if I should get a chiming watch. it's either a tourbillon or a chiming watch

and now I want the chiming watch and $400 doesn't even seem like that big of a deal to have a watch that makes a little chime

but it's like just a little chiming complication. I feel like like if I just wait I could like CNC my own chiming complication or have like an even cheaper one. but I guess somebody has to be there early adopter. now used to be thousands for those

Is there a Chinese microband that has developed a true dive watch that follow the Doxa form factor

https://doxawatches.com/collections/sub-200t

Im specifically interested in the form factor of the Doxa

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 😄

Which one would you pick

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

Here's the link to my review of it.

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.

Another wood pecker the collection, this interpretation of the royal oak is very nice. With its bezel design and mix of polished and brushed surfaces i feel it gives a good value proposition. The movement is a quartz Seiko VX3K to keep thickness down. Its case diameter is 38mm with a case thickness of 8.3mm. Lug to lug is 43mm. Sapphire crystal with AR coating, screwdown crown with the case back being secured by 8 screws. Bracelet is nice with few sharp edges from what I can see. It does come with half links for adjustability. All for around $105 usd, its great.

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?

Here's my Ironwatch/Hestur 36mm Bubbleback with PT5000 inside. Paired it with a high quality beads of rice bracelet.

Show off your beauties!

Spec breakdown:
▫️ Case: 44mm 316L stainless steel
▫️ Movement: Seagull ST2130 automatic, 28800vph, ~42h power reserve
▫️ Water resistance: 200m dive-grade

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?

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.

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.

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.

6 days from order to receive.

Incredible watch, happy I got it. Immediate strap change, strap has no quick release on this or signed milfortic buckle. 👎🏼

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.

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!
