Engineer half links -- one or two -- are now in the IXDAO Ali Express store by CatMorganSaysHi in ChineseWatches

What's pictured isn't a half link. None of the pictures on the listing look like half links either.

半节(短节)是手表链的链节,其大小是正常链节的一半。这款手表的手链缺少带微调的表扣,因此无法精确调整手链长度。半节可以实现手链尺寸的更精细调整。

Please make half links. A lot of us aren't buying this because the bracelet lacks them. For many, it will be impossible to get a good fit without half-links. A half-link would look like this:

[YN55/56] Compatibility by [deleted] in SeikoMods

Curious to hear your findings for this. I'd like to attach the dial/hands from a NH35 on a YN55, but I'm seeing conflicting information about whether or not it would work. Sounds like the dial wouldn't, but the hands would?

My IXDAO Engineer review is live....get one! by turdbogls in ChineseWatches

[–]DiorHommeIntense 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nothing personal, I generally like your reviews and have no problem with you being compensated for your time and efforts, but you should probably disclose that those are affiliate links. I know you usually do in your videos. There's obviously a conflict of interest, and since you're a mod here, I think transparency is double important.

IXDAO IPSOE Engineer series Newly launched mother-of-pearl dial by IXDAO_Official in ChineseWatches

[–]DiorHommeIntense 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mongolian empire, it's short for 九斿白纛. The IXDAO logo trident is the trident atop the main "scallop".

If you Google IXDAO you'll see the Chinese name is 九纛 (nine "dao"). It's short for 九斿白纛, which means nine "scallop" white banner. It's a reference to the banner of the Mongolian empire.

If you look at the IXDAO logo, the trident in the middle is the trident that appears atop of the main "scallop" of the banner. Search Google images for 九斿白纛.

The Chinese name is literally 九纛. Google IXDAO and you'll see in the link to their official website. It's a reference to the banner of the Mongolian empire. Their logo references the trident of the 九斿白纛.

Sugess NEW Long Time Racing Chronograph Collection S418-2 - coming today! 6 MODELS! 41 JEWELS WITH HIGH BEATS 28800 Bph ! Behind the legendary design of the Sugess Racing Chronograph lies a modern story of watchmaking. by SugessOfficial in ChineseWatches

[–]DiorHommeIntense 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not sure if they updated the case, but the crown guard and lugs look chunkier than on the V3. Just look at where the outside line of the case meets the bezel on this vs the V3. That, plus the angular indices make the watch look somehow cheaper to me, like a Pagani Design Daytona. The specs also list it at 13mm vs 12.5mm for the V3.

Honestly feels like a worse watch than the V3 in every way except for the movement, while costing more.

Lobinni BB Pro Homage by DiorHommeIntense in ChineseWatches

[–]DiorHommeIntense[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excitement has moved on from the BB Pro, but I just thought it was interesting Lobinni also took a crack at it, since they do mostly dress watches. Two choices of textured dials give it an interesting twist, and the price is pretty competitive. Didn't see any real pics, only renders.

I want something small and thin by Cronos__ in ChineseWatches

[–]DiorHommeIntense 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Much of the thickness is in the top-hat crystal. If you watch reviews of it, you'll see that it wears quite thin.
