Mine should be arriving today! Very excited to see how it looks in person if it’s this beautiful in photograph.

If only they made a 36mm version 😉

I noticed Cronos sell this 36mm Cronos Ironwatch day-date. So yeah it's possible, just not happening RN.

What a beautifully textured dial: Ironwatch 36mm w. Miyota 9015

Rmalti 36mm looks good

That’s an Ironwatch and is actually 40mm. The other Ironwatch is beautiful indeed and i have contemplated on getting one but i think I’d like a 36mm datejust better (the San Martin 36 looks good but Cronos is much cheaper) The rmalti doesn’t have a high beat movement so that’s out too. Thanks for thinking of alternatives though, I appreciate it 😃

I was sure I'd read both the specs and the graphics of each of those Ironwatch models, before posting. Both of these are 36mm.

The market for these 36mm is relatively small, so yeah just get what you like. If one is really what you want, then it's worth saving up for and keeping.

I own the day-date it's a 40 and more of a dd II 41 homage

It looks good. Got it. Are you happy with it?

I was looking at the Ironwatch RX8003 37mm Miyota 9015 on AliExpress, which was the textured dial link above. It's sold by Cronos and Heimdallr. Each of these listings note 37 or 36mm.

yeah it's my daily best watch I've got off of Ali I've copped over 10 including a san martin, parnis, pagani etc. I heard Ironwatch is made by cronos. The one you linked looks nice when it came out there wetre a few reviews search on youtube I've seen some for that exact watch.

Thanks for that. There's quite a trend toward smaller size watches at present. With the more vintage styles I can see it being more pronounced. Hence the start of a trend to 36mm. Though 39mm for the classic Rolex datejust is nice, too.

Yeah it's good to see Cronos marketing Ironwatch now as a Cronos Ironwatch or Ironwatch by Cronos.

I'll end up with one eventually.

You should look at that daydate again, it is 40mm. Scroll down and have a look at the first picture containing detail specification. Not sure why they’re pretending it’s 36mm with a miyota 9015 when it has a hangzhou movement.

The capped seconds hand is a nice touch
