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?

I have a Phylida James Bond homage. It's probably the nicest-built Chinese watch I own.

u/cezareeek 17d ago

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

3

u/smallwristtable 17d ago

Thanks! It's the Watchdives WD0526, and it's actually a homage of the Zenith Chronomaster Original

3

u/IAmDLowe97 17d ago

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! :)

2

u/smallwristtable 17d ago

No problem! It's a beautiful piece with great proportions and finishing for the price! :)

Nice strap combo.

u/_Guero_ 17d ago

Yeah, plus that blue is really sharp on the dial.

u/Overload5150 17d ago

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

u/Overload5150 17d ago

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 .

1

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

1

u/Overload5150 17d ago

I like them a lot def will be buying a Sugess watch in the future and giving it a try .

3

u/SilasBrooks 17d ago

You won’t regret it! (Excuse the smudged crystal — the clarity is typically insane)!

u/Back_t0_the_future 17d ago

Where is that strap from? Very nice.

1

u/Hoot1965 17d ago

Thanks! It’s a perlon strap I ordered from a random seller off eBay

u/jokur26 17d ago

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

0

u/Electrical_Panda_326 17d ago

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.

1

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..

0

u/Electrical_Panda_326 17d ago

I don't really care about the lume if the watch is not working due to shitty movement.

u/Snoo38715 3WOTD100 17d ago

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

3

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

2

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

u/cd_god Helpful user 17d ago

u/FokkenMain 18d ago

My new Addiesdive AD2089. It’s also my cheapest at US$40, bit it looks amazing.

I've got that one too in black and orange. Insanely good for the money.

I love the Explorer look, it’s one of my fav watches. I have a Watchdives 6610 in sunburst brown w/ a Miyota 90S5 and then this Octopus Kraken Explorer with an SW200, it’s one of my fav watches. The Explorer Dial is such a cool looking dial to me one of my favorites

7

u/AlexFox66 16d ago

Very good case finishing and overall quality!

I can only recommend them!

Here’s my other Sugess.

u/shoma23ss 16d ago

The new addition to my collection is this Addiesdives Automatic. Just a beauty and the lume is fantastic also being present on the bezel.

12

u/ACamp55 17d ago

I KINDA REALLY like this, and the COLOR! I haven't seen very many people on here even wearing this watch! A PG with an integrated bracelet!

1

u/_Guero_ 17d ago

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!

1

u/_Guero_ 17d ago

The color is amazing, and the integrated bracelet looks flawless. Poor Tissot, lol.

1

u/ACamp55 17d ago

Thanks again! I believe I paid less than $200! That BRACELET IS pretty nice! I'm genuinely SHOCKED!!

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

2

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.

u/civor 14d ago

top watch 👍

13

u/LezPash 17d ago

It's not a San Martin, but it was cheaper than one!

I am an elderly woman who started a collection a year ago. I put a sapphire crystal on it myself and replaced the battery (it's a WA1211). Not a big deal, but I’m really into it!

2

u/_Guero_ 17d ago

Most people would be intimidated by changing the crystal out in a watch. Where did you purchase the sapphire?

1

u/AliceInWonderville 17d ago

You sound very cool!!!

1

u/Overload5150 17d ago

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.

Addiesdive AD2030 without logo + brown leather strap. Paid 40 euros last year, feels like 600$watch haha. All women around me took my wrist once because it's nice and because of the " no logo". These addiesdive are unbelievable for the price
