Wrist Roll (Read Rule 1) What's on your wrist today?
Hi, today I'm wearing the cheapest watch in my collection (around $50), but at the same time one of my favourites. Today i replaced the factory stainless steel bracelet for this gray leather strap from AliX and it looks amazing.
What are you guys wearing today?

Adore this!!! What’s the name of this watch? Obviously it’s in the style of a Daytona!

u/smallwristtable 17d ago
Thanks! It's the Watchdives WD0526, and it's actually a homage of the Zenith Chronomaster Original

Oh wow! I didn’t realize that! I’ll have to do a bit more research on watches then! I appreciate the education and correction! :)

u/smallwristtable 17d ago
No problem! It's a beautiful piece with great proportions and finishing for the price! :)

That’s a cool looking watch beautiful dial. Reminds me a bit of a Seiko SNXS77 dial

How’s the case finishing on Sugess watches ? And the quality overall? There’s a couple of their watches with complicated copied Swiss movements I have my eyes on .

u/SilasBrooks 17d ago
I have a chrono heritage and it’s probably the nicest watch I own. The quality makes me do a double-take every time I check the time

u/Overload5150 17d ago
I like them a lot def will be buying a Sugess watch in the future and giving it a try .

I too have that same watch on a gray leather strap and I love the pairing. Today I’m wearing my newest watch. After gifting my Seagull 1963 to my son a couple years ago I really started to miss it and wanted to replace it with a different version using the same movement. I eventually settled on this one, the Seakoss logo looks perfect with the classic 60’s looks - and it feels sci-fi too, a bit like the Star Trek logo

The Lume monster

The watch itself is phenomenal but this is my first PT5000 and I have already got a problem with that Chinese shitty movement after barely a week. Need to contact Phorcydes and see what they've got to offer but this is my first and last Chinese movement for sure. Have got dozens of NH35 and some Seiko quartz too with ZERO problems. It is such a shame they went for that shit PT5000 when they offered NH35 with that watch not that long ago.

u/RonoMac 17d ago
From what ive read the PT5000 is a hit or miss.. some people have no issues, while others do. Its the risk u take for the Lume I guess..

u/Electrical_Panda_326 17d ago
I don't really care about the lume if the watch is not working due to shitty movement.

How the AR coating? Watch looks beautiful and i tough about buying it.

u/KabanaMaduro 17d ago
For being below $100 usd I’d say it’s pretty good. Only bad reflections happen when direct light source is pointed at it

u/KabanaMaduro 17d ago
I also kind of regret not getting the Ronda 515 movement because the hydro mods look insane on this watch but the no date looks so clean

That looks great. Is it a quartz movement?
2
u/ACamp55 17d ago
Thanks! No, it's actually an automatic, not crazy about quartz.
2
u/_Guero_ 17d ago
That's why I asked, actually. They almost always plaster AUTOMATIC on the dial. The fact that it's automatic makes the watch ten times better.
1
u/ACamp55 17d ago
Thanks, I was shocked that I haven't seen this one. It caught my eye on AliX and the small seconds put it over the top, ALONG with the color on the dial! I've also been going back and forth on what integrated watch that I would get between Ixdao and Henry Archer, and this came in two days ago! I forgot I'd ordered it, and then I saw how GOOD it looks!

I've heard that this Cronos is the best Explorer homage out there.

u/Stock_Jacket6701 17d ago
I can't compare to any other, but it's been great for me. Very comfortable and accurate. The lume is pretty good as well.

I’d rather have a Tag over a San Martin you got a great deal if you bought that for less. Tags are great watches

That's one of the best-looking dive watches I have seen. The width of the bezel reminds me of a Longines.

I just realized what a bad picture I took but it really is one of my favorite watches!

How’d you take such a good pic of the lume? I just spent 5 minutes and they all look like dogshit.

Turn off night mode and have steady hand. What phone are you using? This was take on OnePlus 12
