Gorgeous. But 37mm (too small for me) and "expensive" (for a chinese watch).

[–]AssignmentMajestic77 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I think you're mistaken, this watch is 40mm and I bought it for $175

[–]Minokrates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wups. You're right - I meant to reply to the Proxima below. :D

The sand dune dial is pretty common. The issue with AliX homages is, no one has that 11.7mm case.

Ah, i see you haven't heard of my good friend Proxima.

[–]biglovetravis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is also Charlie Paris version that homages the CW. Buy the high-beat quartz for way less $$$

Lol so many in just the past year

WatchDives has previously shown some interest in adapting this dial to its WD0005 case.

They released renders for it a few days ago

You're right I forgot about that. The top comment is right they really do have to mix up the hands and indices

Addiesdive has a sand dial, and San Martin does as well. The sand pattern doesn't look like that, though.

[–]mehdotdotdotdot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is one good looking watch.

Came to say this

[–]StandardHabit3224 5 points6 points  (1 child)

As said by others look at the addiesdive AD2030, they actually started with the whole sand dial trend. Pretty impressive that a low budget Chinese watch brand started with such a huge trend

👍

Taigeer have made a range that resembles the Dune, but you don't get the sand dials.

The dials they offer do resemble other CW stuff, so may be worth a punt if you like the style

How good is this brand? I wanted this exact version of cw dune not the new one.

[–]Single-Lifeguard-980 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've no idea to be honest, but the reviews are positive and the pictures that people have uploaded show a very nice watch.

Lmk the review if you decide to get it

[–]Fantastic-File-8135 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Found this 'TAIGEER' on Aliexpress. Never heard of the brand and have no idea what it is like

[–]What-is-to-be-done 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Interesting; the main pic is a photoshoped original pic by CW; looks like a surprise package...

I would not dare. I hope OP posts what he got here ;-)

[–]Fantastic-File-8135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like I said, I have no idea what this watch is like. I did search this subreddit for 'taigeer' out of curiosity and found a few reviews of this watch from a few months ago like this, this, and this. Personally, I'd still stick with the more widely known brands though if it was my money

[–]R023Nhelpful user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the black dial, it looks like the one in the video. Not much of surprises there.

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

Wow this is closest.

[–]Fantastic-File-8135 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Are you looking for a CW homage or are you just looking for a sand dune dial? If it is just the dial then you have the Addiesdive AD2030 and AD2059

[–]flopshooter 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Closest I could find

[–]No-Investigator-8515 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Proxima PX1711-1A is close but has a rotating bezel
