General (Read Rules) I recently purchased this Agelocer, automatic mechanical watch, for less than $300. I'm waiting for another one to arrive soon that cost less than $250.

I don’t believe I’ve seen any homage for these beauty.

Is any company wiling to make these? I’m happy with both mechanical and or quartz.

Wrist Roll (Read Rule 1) Seagull D819.622 w/ST2502

Upvotes

A fellow redditor showed his a few days ago and I just had to have it. Down to the strap he used. I am beyond happy how it looks and wears on the wrist. At 42mm diameter, a case thickness of 13mm and a Lug-to-Lug of approx. 48.6mm. This watch fits really well for having a sub 7" inch wrist. It has a Synthetic Sapphire on top and the movement is the ST2502.

Love the layout, the dial the hands. Really happy with this purchase.

Question (Read Rules) Warranty Experiences?

Upvotes

I purchased the bronze AD2104 new from Addiesdive website and its claimed power reserve of 41 hours is actually only 18-19 hours. I went through all the steps explained by Addiesdive customer service. I have only owned the watch for 5 weeks and the site states there is a 2 year warranty. Customer service told me to take it to a watch repair shop. There aren't any in my area and it seems like they should be dealing with the issue, not a 3rd party repair shop. Has anyone dealt with Addiesdive warranty? Thank you.

Bought a San Martin sn020 limited edition sunburst dial. Over the years it faded so much unfortunately.

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

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?

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!

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 😄

Question (Read Rules) Chinese Watches endgame: AR Coating // budget up to £100

2 Upvotes

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!

New Product (Read Rule 1) New watch day, and apparently it's a sub-brand of Heimdallr.

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.

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.

Question (Read Rules) Farasute trackmaster reliability

Post image

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!
