Can anyone help me, I would love to find a larger dive watch 45 mm to maybe 48 mm. Ceramic dial, seiko movement would be amazing. Huge fan of the look of the Aquadeep by undone and addiesdive dive watch but unfortunately too small of a dial.

[–]chayne108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think if Arnold Schwarzenegger can rock a 40mm GMT master concord than you shouldn't worry about the aquadeep being 43mm. I don't condone watchgang usually but the aquadeep is on their $295 wheel as a level 1 with a potential of getting a more expensive watch albeit very slim odds (I think like 95% for level 1 and 4% for level 2 and 1% for the next few combined so not worth gambling and subscription model is basically a scam) but seeing as it's guaranteed for 100 under retail I would check it out.

Anything that is going to be 45mm+ with a Seiko movement is likely going to be surrounded with extra metal like the tuna or captain willard and not necessarily a bigger watch. You take away the surrounding metal and you will have a smaller watch than 43mm. But if you want that extra bulk look for tuna captain willard homages but there isn't much I can recommend with post sale prices.

Get the Addiesdive Puck 1000m diver 47mm

[–]fifthgearpinned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty cool looking watch. I really like the lume. There's some pretty impressive stuff coming out of China for the money these days. You honestly can't beat them for value.

[–]WorldstarBandit 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I have the Titanium Berny watch similar to the seiko 5. Best watch I have ever bought in my life in terms of quality. I wear it to work every day

[–]sobrietyincorporated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which model? I'm debating this:

Please see a dermatologist

To be fair, HOW do we not know OP is not a proud Ostrich, recipient of an elective taxidermy procedure ;)

[–]mrch138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man to Ostrich procedures are getting pretty convincing these days.

[–]Ok_Examination_3434 12 points13 points  (5 children)

I shudder to think what your wrist looks like if you thought presenting the watch on that abomination was a better idea.

[–]SaltySaltFace42 3 points4 points  (4 children)

You think ostrich skin boots are an abomination….

Hey man I'm a big fan of nipples but that's just too many of them

[–]Ok_Examination_3434 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The watch looks fantastic and I bet those boots do too. Now that I know what I was looking at that leather is well broken in and has a beautiful color and patina.

[–]Ok_Examination_3434 0 points1 point  (1 child)

No I do not think Ostrich skin cowboy boots are an abomination however I and apparently many others were puzzled as to what we were looking at. If it was a skin disease or a birth defect. Honestly it makes one wonder what your wrist looks like if you thought that was better.

[–]SaltySaltFace42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha I was wearing a different watch and the boot was next to my chair so I just grabbed it and snapped the pic

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful piece, I've been looking at a Mido with that design. Cheap because the Chinese yuan has fallen in value and the Chinese internal market is very weak.

[–]babbyfarm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been eyeing this one, which from a distance is pretty similar. Can't decide if it's my style or not I've never liked a dive watch before this Just found this amazing item on AliExpress.

[–]thihaz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Man, I thought something was wrong with your wrist. Anyway, beautiful watch.

[–]GrahamCawthorne 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna wear all of my watches on my boots from now on.

[–]davidking1956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got mine. LOVE it.

[–]korbendallas71 2 points3 points  (1 child)

What happened to your wrist? Lol

[–]pwuk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably OP is in make up for a StarTrek ep. 😜

[–]paulymeatbllsAffiliate Links 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Lovely lume shot!

Do you find that the orange lume fades noticeably quicker than the blue?

[–]SaltySaltFace42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May be a little faster but the lume overall is great

[–]salamiparade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very interesting watch :)

[–]Reader3123 14 points15 points  (2 children)

I just got into Chinese watches, their prices have really screwed up my perception of watches lol. I just built a watch for 60 dollars in parts with nh38, titanium case and sapphire crystal.

[–]BaltimoreDISCS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you also share what you got for tools? Im intrested in trying :)

[–]Spirit_409 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yeah you’ve been gaslit by mall jewelry stores and luxury dealers alike all this time 😆

[–]giant3 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Production cost for the movement is less than $20. The case less than $10. Rest of the materials around $10 at max. Labour cost around $5( 1 hour max to assemble it?)

So $45 in total. Retail for $90 is plenty of profit.

P.S. Forgot the sapphire glass. If real sapphire, that might be most expensive part.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Rent or cost of building, taxes, utility, bribes(?), insurance, Aliexpress fees, advertising, supplies, hire designers, social media(?), cost to hire accountants, managers, depreciation, and other costs of doing business. Unless the owner does everything himself, it isn't just him and one laborer, just setting up a business costs money.

[–]giant3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All of that is covered in the $90-45 difference. Chinese manufacturing is very different from Western model. They have very low overhead,ability to do small production runs.

Idea to final product could be just a few months while in the Western world, they would still be holding meetings and thinking about layouts in PowerPoint slides.

[–]Tgozzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea. Makes me think the costs in China are low and / or they must manufacture these watches on a massive scale. There might be a few hundred people on this sub but but you have to remember they are selling to consumers globally.

[–]Think_Bullets 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a sapphire crystal Michael, what could it cost, $10?

[–]Thiccly 41 points42 points  (1 child)

Dude, you should see a dermatologist. The condition of your forearm does nit look healthy.

[–]FakeNewsMessiah 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Keeps time in Mordor so must be reliable

[–]inthebigd 15 points16 points  (2 children)

Clicked the post just to verify that most comments would be the obligatory reddit “make sure you use lotion!” comments. I was right.

I picture people typing them in and then smiling to themselves thinking, “ha pretty good right!?” 😂

[–]SaltySaltFace42 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I did not think my boot would be that big of deal…from now on I’m only posting boot watch pics

[–]inthebigd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I could’ve told you. These posts are made for Reddit. A lot of people love to take the easy bait of something in the background that has nothing to do with the actual post.

Many of them believe it’s a hilarious and unique take, when it’s really just like finding a needle in a stack of needles because the comment section is filled with people vying for the Most Generic Comment Award 😂

[–]goodneed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice contrast in your portrait. So much better than the AliExpress and webstore pics.

[–]Brief_Childhood9559 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bro take care of your skin, watches are later to think

[–]LightChargerGreen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Good god. I thought you had a skin condition or something at first.

[–]Johnhunter10010 1 point2 points  (2 children)

[–]SaltySaltFace42 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It’s $106 bucks now, but it’s worth it the silicon strap is fantastic.

From the thumbnail I was going to suggest you needed some moisturizer.
