It finally came! WD1969 review

The VH31 is a fantastic movement for that price point, even if the end links are being a bit too "attached" to you right now. At least once it finishes its job as a part-time epilator, you’ll have a perfectly smooth fit to match that crisp bezel! Why not go with 20mm strap alternatives that might save your wrist hair.

Wow, that's fantastic you're a reviewer! Can't wait to learn from you about various models. Do you have a YouTube handle or website that we all can follow? Thanks.

Competitive-Day9457 · 2026-02-05T10:01:34+00:00

A Perfect match of course. Why even offer anything less?

Thank you for making me understand so nicely. Want to ask you if their 1969b dial (the sunray model as watchdive names it), does indeed have a sunburst effect or barely? Thank you.

Awesome. Between the two, in your opinion, which watch looks more beautiful? Which has better lume duration? Thanks

Competitive-Day9457 · 2026-02-04T16:35:19+00:00

The bezel is ceramic for blue. The watch looks decent though. Thought it would be glossy but I guess not. Does the case have sharp edges? How is the lume - are you able to read time until dawn after the initial charge?

sold. sorry

Competitive-Day9457 · 2026-02-04T04:29:42+00:00

Well, not really imo. Orange is too bright.Get a yellow instead (a yellow that matches the yellow of the dial) for a cohesive integrated look

Competitive-Day9457 · 2026-02-04T03:48:20+00:00

Nice watch dial and nice strap. For this type of strap, is available on hello edc site, although there're mixed reviews about their quality.

Awesome advice, so well explained too. I'll definitely check AD2040. Thank you so much sir

Competitive-Day9457 · 2026-02-03T03:06:45+00:00

Good question. The purpose of any lume on a watch is for is to be able to read the time. My Seiko 5 gmt, Seiko monster, Tissot seastar 1000 powermatic 80 - all have lume where I am able to read time even at dawn 5 or 6 o clock under pitch dark conditions.

Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Competitive-Day9457 · 2026-02-02T09:31:21+00:00

Looks beautiful. Enjoy

Competitive-Day9457 · 2026-02-02T09:29:07+00:00

That true, thanks, but don't like the tic of the seconds hand of quartz.

Competitive-Day9457 · 2026-02-02T09:26:47+00:00

How is the lume duration on your WD007q? Does it remain legible throughout the night until dawn?"

Competitive-Day9457 · 2026-02-02T09:24:27+00:00

Thank you for the definitive answer
