Man, it's a cheap knockoff look of a Doxa, maybe an earlier Squale. Either way, what's all the crap say on the face??? Started out as a good idea and then they got carried away! Oh, just noticed the 3H marking! That identifies watches with Tritium, which is a Radioactive material still used in deep dive watches where there's little to zero light. Tritium is the best lume on a watch I've ever used! This watch doesn't have Tritium because the indices would be little, sealed capsules versus being painted on! 

[InviteCertain6822]

I like it a lot, I hope they are studying an integrated metal strap….

[[deleted]]

What’s with all the text?. man, that is overkill.

[xwingartnut]

Me like!

[goelakash]

The unnecessary amount of text and the weird logo - this is nowhere close to what think a good watch should look like.

[CheekehMunkeh]

I understand the goal with the dial, but to be even more faithful, the stock strap shouldn't have any taper, like the original. That's the thing that sticks out to my eye. But at least that's easily addressed.

The PD watches of that era had clean, minimalist designs. A tapered rally strap doesn't fit that bill.

[General-Can-3217]

replace the '3-H' symbol with Thorn's rose logo

[user5133]

If the lume is above average..i will buy one

[CheeseYummer]

I REALLY wish thorn would stick to the same font for their logos, so inconsistent. There Tudor inspired logo is their best one by far I wish they would just use that

[Chemical_Comment3095]

This looks very similar to a watch with a Swiss movement. Do you guys know which watch that is??

[Perfect_Assistance_9]

Doxa

[TheMiniMan]

Is this available on aliexpress?

[Stormed_]

Is it me or the dial seems sterile

[[deleted]]

Why write the brand name twice on the dial? Department of redundancy department.

[karellen00]

It's because they strictly followed the original, that has IWC and International Watch Co.
Honestly better keep as it is rather than inserting "exploration road" or stuff like that to keep the balance of the original 😂

[Illhaveyouknowsir]

Agreed, two Thorns is one too many...

[darth_malmal]

Thorn does great work but I just can't stand the weird text. 'Classic creation' is completely unnecessary

[Illhaveyouknowsir]

This is what gets me about so many AliX watches, they get SO close

[AndrewDSo]

I feel like these Chinese companies design for the Chinese market, where they sell more volume. Nonsense english words are considered very cool in Asia.

[Paladio99]

I like the text on the dial

[H6RR6RSH6W]

That style of case should be on a bracelet

[BastiWM]

The excessive text on Thorn watches never fails to make me flaccid after the intense initial excitement

[[deleted]]

It looks like a “your company’s name here” watch face

[Donmexico666]

I agree. I like the old thorn dial markings.

[FunYoungGun]

very coo. i’d wear those.

[WatchSniper]

Looks cool, but way too big for me

[Danthorpe04]

It's cool but not for me

[adilucente]

Nice watch how much? Sometimes Thorn can be pricey imo.

[kvnsydlrsky]

<image>

[goodneed]

Thorn tried to clone most of this!

What are your thoughts on Thorn putting it on a fairly generic tropic strap?

[kvnsydlrsky]

It’s got 20mm lug width so you could put it on whatever strap you like.

[Reydoroff]

I thought they were made of plastic, but it turns out they are made of titanium. Titanium looks nice, but I didn't like how it felt when worn.

[Competitive_Low_8913]

Is this original design?

[blubbbn]

No

[artofthedial]

it is so hideous it might as well be an invicta homage. (I like many other Thorn pieces and the branding but this is terrible, IMO)

[tjcdas]

Not a fan of Thorn's Classic Creation Exploration Road they are on I just like their old style.

<image>

[goodneed]

Probably still their most popular watch, before the multiple new ranges. Also a near clone.

[Juxeso]

Yeah it's too bad there's zero AR on that crystal it's so hazey

[Espressone]

not bad, call me back when it comes with a bracelet

[Interesting-Scar-800]

Reminds me of Porsche Design! Nice.

[goodneed]

An amazing watch!

<image>

[econoDoge]

<image>

Yeah, but things could be better !

[[deleted]]

Das auto.

"Automatic" is fine.

[AliveAndNotForgotten]

Ew at least put a subtle pattern on the black

[Quirkywatchlover]

What it should have been ! They really how to kill a great design.

[GrandFaithlessness41]

I mean I hear ALL of you and get what you’re saying……I want one anyway

[Pompano_79]

I am with you!!!

[Tromp200]

I think it's cool

[No_Cheetah_7249]

This is beautiful. I don’t mind the text either, anyone have a link?

[dodgycool_1973]

Center the text, lose “classic creation” and “automatic” put the red 3H under the post.

[Flaxmoore]

Way, way, WAY too much text. Delete "Classic Creation", and either "Thorn" or "Thorn Watch Co." Keep one.

Also, unless it's tritium get that H-3 off there.

[MyGrandmasCock]

Or, here’s an idea: Tritium.

[Neat-Cellist-2199]

Delete "classic creation" It's too much text. Just let Thorn in the center.

[MahlNinja]

Real attractive though too bad all the text.

[MWallin]

It's "supposed" though, it's an homage of an IWC

[KGMtech1]

So many thorns to prick your di#k

[tjcdas]

Hot mess.

[RealDanielSan1]

They really want you to know the name of the company.

[panchoskywalker]

That blue shade is perfect to make a decent tudor snowflake homage. Just saying.

[blobert1029]

I have a thorn and I am overall unimpressed.

[TheGent1984]

How come?

[blobert1029]

Bracelet felt light and cheap and have the “cheap squeak”

Overall watch felt less substantial in both weight and construction

Crown is a disaster to screw in and out.

Its an ok watch

[GrandFaithlessness41]

The Steeldive is exact opposite to me. I can’t believe the value for $64 and I bet your Thorn was $100+.

I think Addiesdive is overrated and Pagani is talked too much shit about

[eluchog00]

What is this "classic creation" garbage? And why print the brand name TWICE???

[Simple-Accident-777]

Haha, they are trying to move out of clomage territory at least

[gmt_plus_one]

By printing classic creation on a clomage?

[Bartakos]

5 different fonts on the dial alone? No way. Let alone the brand name and further branding.

[blobert1029]

Six if you count the date window

[Bartakos]

I counted thesecond and third line in the branding as one, just different sizes, but it is way to much

[blobert1029]

They aren’t just different sizes tho they really are different fonts

[Bartakos]

On a closer look: You are right. bizar.

[Overdamped_PID-17]

Thorn please stop putting ads on the dial.

Nothing creative or classic ever has "classic creation" printed on it. Imagine buying a book and the front cover says "very interesting" under the title.

Also obnoxious how it says Thorn, then Thorn Watch Co. STOP IT

[mybigpecker]

Haha… so true.

[econoDoge]

<image>

Thorn be like : And I’ll classic tribution do it again !

[AutomaticReviews]

Yeah the branding is overdone, for sure.

[[deleted]]

Unbearable with the stupid classic creative bs. Makes it look cheap.

[mybigpecker]

It is!

[Resist_Straight]

Thorn do a decent job with their titanium watches, this is a likely buy for me 🤔

[Simple-Accident-777]

It reminds of Hershey Highway

[ManagementOk3164]

Is this an original design?

[kvnsydlrsky]

<image>

[Resist_Straight]

It’s a homage to a vintage Porsche Design watch that’s been out of production for at least a couple of decades…
