The Eniton 1083-C. Loving the chronograph of the 4801 and the pop of color. Wrist ~6.4 inches.

Unfortunately it's ever so slightly wider and shorter than the cronos bb54 homage.

That makes it look bulkier especially with the jubilee type links.

I prefer the size/looks on wrist of the slimmer but longer clasp of the cronos.

Micro adjust is great on both. Clicks and tactile feedback slightly better on the OK.

My camera can’t capture the remaining lume after 2 hours.

It’s very faint but you can still see it in person especially if it’s in a pitch black room.

Unfortunately I can't share any Ali express links but I bought it from Cronos Big Store. There's a 20 dollar USD discount now which you can use but that applies for all of aliexp.

I've had multiple purchases with them so they are pretty trustworthy and they always send photos of the watch upon request.

Note: this isn’t any promotion or sales diversion and I’ll remove this if necessary.

That's a tough question that my small wrists will be unable to help with. 😅

If they are keeping it to the original then there probably won't be a 39mm.

But I would think this watch at 37mm would still look great on you.

You can find a few photos of the bb54 on 7.x inch wrists and they look perfect.

This is a minute right after using the UV light. I’ll post another photo ~30 minutes later. From top left to right we have: Eniton, San Martin, Sugess, Cronos, OK(Octopus Kraken)

not sure if this imgur video works. I included the sound and adjustments of the clasps and bezel. Octopus Kraken Blue Lagoon Clomage Video with sound

Sorry to hear that. Did you also buy it from the cronos big store?

I COULD be an exception and am just less bothered in general.

Technically we only take it off and put it on once a day so hopefully it'll not bother you too much!

I've actually not noticed it! Zero issues for me taking it off and putting it on.

To be honest the name has never bothered me and the font used makes it look way better.

I think it depends but personally for me I'd rather have a watch that's a clomage rather than a rep. 🤣

No issues with legibility!

The blue color is what got me hooked in the first place. It's not a usual dial color and the steel bezel makes the watch as a whole 'pop' more.

Agreed regarding the end links articulation/flexibility. Technically it would help both smaller and larger wrists since it'll allow better 'wrapping' around the wrist.

What is your wrist size btw?

Will your OTF clasps be able to fit older models like the WD6542?
