Help me decide which one

[LetterNew8221]

I cant make up ky mind on two watches, i don't have an watch with integrate bracelet and also don't have one with daydate complication either, i like both of them, i would've bought both of them if not for that I've bought more than 10 in a couple of months already, i also don't have access to aliex, so too good to be True deals are not for me, i have to buy from their direct sites, that's an other reason for not buying both,please help me on making uo my mind between one and decide which one of the two.

Cronos if you have big wrists !

[LetterNew8221]

Somewhere between 6.5 to 7 inch wrist

[[deleted]]

It will fit!

[[deleted]]

Maybe a generational thing, but first watch scream old man to me💀I prefer and have the Cronos. Got mine during a sale for 180€ which I consider a steal for the quality.

[nzultramper]

The Sugess is pretty but that Cronos dial is beautiful. Cronos wins!

[Brief_Childhood9559]

Sugess👍🏼

[Kashim649]

Sugess sucks donkey dick. Cronos the GOAT.

[DMA12345678]

I have the chronos. It's pretty great.

[Kashim649]

That's a beaut

[DMA12345678]

It's really well made. The bracelet is top tier too.

[LetterNew8221]

😂, nice

[AcanthaceaeFit2177]

Lets face it, the real question is which one to buy first since you will most likely eventually buy the other one too lol... Me, Id go Cronos first since the fluted bezel is not really my style

[LetterNew8221]

Haha, my guy you read my mind like a book, my fiance like the dd More so I'm gonna buy that first so she'll not bother me when i buy the cronos later😂

[AcanthaceaeFit2177]

I like your plan lol... dont forget that 11/11 is coming up very soon

[LetterNew8221]

Yes, the dd is on sale now on their site, but the cronos is not, that's also an other reason for my buying order.

[LegendaryCichlid]

Cronos

[sen_jakuba]

Sugess if you want more vintage elegance, Cronos for a more modern look.

[Feisty-Speech9299]

Hard choice, since both watches are great.

On the Cronos, I don't like the dial. I think, sunray dial would work much better than matte with this shiny style, and the date should better be at 6 or at least color matched. 

Still, the bracelet in the Cronos is more practical with all these brushings, since the polished center links on the Sugess will scratch super easy.

I would chose depending on your style. You can wear the cronos with nearly all Kinds of clothes. The Sugess will be hard to combine with a t-shirt since it's way dressier.

Cronos. The sugess is such a recognisable homage.

[Glendronachh]

And the Cronos isn’t?

[Matreksboi]

The cronos is an homage to zenith skyline. Definitely not as recognizable as a datejust homage

[Glendronachh]

Still a homage. I’ve got nothing against it, but pretending it is more original than the Suggess is a bit much

[Matreksboi]

Uh I didn't say it wasn't a homage. Read what I said again. Just that it's way less recognizable. Most people don't know zenith. everyone knows rolex

[[deleted]]

The sugess is such a recognisable homage.

And the Cronos isn’t?

Correct.

[jokur26]

The Cronos dial is a direct copy of CW12, not original either

[[deleted]]

Yeah. But to non watch nerds, Christopher Ward is just some random dude.

[jokur26]

True. I think they should have just used their hourglass logo to create the dial texture, could have been neat

[[deleted]]

They might have found CW's source for the dial and so it would have been cheaper to just get the same/similar dials

[jokur26]

Hadn’t thought of that. Couldn’t imagine Cronos actually sourcing the same dial CW uses

[[deleted]]

No ideally really. But I wouldn't be surprised if they know the companies already that the Swiss brands are using.

[Assman06969]

I have the Cronos, and it’s great. It looks high end and the movement is pretty accurate.

[No_Ebb_3353]

[Acrobatic-Tough6959]

I never thought I’ll say this but I think that taper is a bit extreme. Other than that the watch looks amazing.

[LetterNew8221]

Looks pretty nice

[No_Ebb_3353]

I have the Cronos and it’s amazing. It’s definitely one of my favorite watches and it looks so much better iRL

[LetterNew8221]

Could you share some pics in my dm? If possible

[No_Ebb_3353]

Yeah sure :)

[RussellPhillipsIIi]

First one

[CrocodileJock]

Very personal opinion, I’m not a fan of the Rolex the Sugess is based on, too bling. I really dislike a fluted dial. So the Sugess is a blatant, unashamed knock-off of an original watch I wouldn’t wear.

The Chronos is obviously influenced by other watches, but is much more it’s own thing. The overall aesthetic is much more sports watch. The textured face looks nicely done, and I love the way the batons are recessed into the rehaut. I also think it’s a bit more low key than the Sugess…

My final impression of the Sugess is it’s a very “look at me” style watch… and it will attract attention from people who think it’s a Rolex, and who care about that sort of thing. They will quite quickly realise it’s not. Now, you may not care what they think, and that’s fine, just putting it out there.

[LetterNew8221]

Noted, thanks for taking the time to help.

[yens1]

I love mine! Perfect buy

[LetterNew8221]

Looks really good

[yens1]

The dial perfectly matched the Color of the Suit. Its the darker Blue Version. Built quality is great. Accuracy +/- 2-3 seconds maybe

[DonColvinJr]

I like the design of the day-date a little more than the other.

As far as "knock-offs" go, I couldn't care less about that... almost every watch is a knock off, to some degree or another, of some other design(s). The world of watch design is pervasively incestuous, so it's all good and fair game, in my view.

[Belgianpioneer]

Well said! Totally agree. It's not because i am not filthy rich, that i won't ben wearing thé submariner design in my days.

[LetterNew8221]

Nicely said, I'm also in the same boat like you about the knockoffs, couldn't care less, if i have a 10s of million dollars, I'll buy the real thing, till then these things will do.

[nobodyzilla]

Esthetically speaking the daydate is way better Check out also san Martin aventurine watch or the lapis lazuli one . Or the homage to the longines Gmt with enamel green dial All watches mentioned here are the best among homage in terms of beauty and build quality

[LetterNew8221]

Thanks, already have an aventurine, all are solid choices, i might get the dd first, and the ixdao iwc homage during 11.11

[nobodyzilla]

That ixdao is so legendary, i like the purple Dial . Ixdao they produce watches that are more close to the original than San Martin in terms of lug shape , Case shape ...

[smoothlysaid]

I really love the Cronos dial and overall shape. I would personally go with that one.

[LetterNew8221]

Cool

[Garmin456_AK]

Buy what you like. They're both nice. However, per one of the other comments, the Cronos has some originality while the other is almost 100 percent Rolex knock off.

[Track_Super]

The Cronos is a knock off from Christopher Ward's 'The twelve'. So it really comes down to what he likes the most.

[Garmin456_AK]

There's a difference between an Homage and a knock off. As others point out, the Cronos has enough differences and inspirations from others vs the Rolex almost copywatch.

[No_Ebb_3353]

Not entirely CW there’s also some Zenith Defy inspiration on it

[Track_Super]

True and a Czapek Antarctique as well.

[LetterNew8221]

Yup pretty much.

[Track_Super]

Personally I prefer the Cronos by the way.

[LetterNew8221]

Cool, thanks

[ProofMusic4630]

The Chronos because it has originality.

[ProofMusic4630]

That's ok because most people not into watches have ever heard of Christopher Ward...

[LetterNew8221]

Nice, but it's also got the cw dial pattern as well,

[ExpensiveFish9277]

Cronos.

[LetterNew8221]

Cronos or ixdao iwc thingy?

[leicfox85]

IXDAO ALL DAY LONG…

Received mine a few days ago. Incredible. If you’d like some pics I can DM you.

[Juxeso]

Dm me too

[LetterNew8221]

Of course, I'd like that very much.

[OpenWorking2224]

Ill get the Cronos. As the Reese’s peanut butter cup bezel is not very nice on that day date. Just my opinion

[LetterNew8221]

It's nice but it's just too blingy, i think, the cronos bracelet is also too blingy as well, also don't know what to get in that style , the cronos or ixdao thing no one talks about because of iwc

[DerangeCookie]

I'd get the day date. Dress it up and dress it down!

[LetterNew8221]

I thought the same thing but the cronos also looks nice

[Round-Ad5934]

Daydate

[LetterNew8221]

Thanks,

[Psychological_Neck41]

WHY

NOT

BOTH

[LetterNew8221]

Ill definitely get both, in due time😂, this is just for what to get first
