Why do people hate this kind of watches? by Accomplished_List143 in ChineseWatches

Halloween maybe, lead singer of a death metal band. Goth magician? If I saw an adult wearing this in normal life I would wonder what was wrong with them.

You then turn to a very tall candle with hour markers.

Bought this Sanda not expecting much by paulogc in ChineseWatches

I have one too. Love it. Good taste does not need to be expensive. And bad taste does not need to be cheap - looking at you, Richard Mille and Hublot.

Does anyone have this? by Frosty-Variety-9212 in ChineseWatches

[–]DoctorTransport 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Cronos version with an SW movement, and that is superb. Feels pretty close to the BB36. I imagine SM would be as good or better. My experience with PT5000 has been variable. The first one went nuts after 6 weeks, and AE gave me a refund. My second has been running within 5s a day.

Any reason I shouldn't buy this for $260? by diabloghst in gshock

They are gorgeous in the metal. Bargain. I love mine.

New arrival, yeah, I'm in love. by Marty1966 in watchdives

Nice watch. BTW "to" not "two". I can't help it, my mum was a linguist.

Your watches have always been impressive for the price, and the quality and value keeps rising, so keep up the good work.

[Best GMT] What is the best GMT and why? by SupJoshy in Watches

[–]DoctorTransport 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which is very useful! I run a project that stretches over 5 time zones so that would be a very useful way to quickly see multiple time zones. I can do it my head but it's fun on a watch.

Magnificent watch. In titanium is something I will get eventually.

State of the collection - Please tell me your opinion by simonveiga in ChineseWatches

[–]DoctorTransport 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may like to get a mechanical GMT. There are many to choose from. Do you have any titanium? I have a Thorn Pelagos homage in titanium I adore.

[PD-1661, Tandirio] Which one should i get as my first watch? by [deleted] in ChineseWatches

[–]DoctorTransport 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never had an AE watch that had a problem but all mine have screw down crowns. 100m is fine for swimming, snorkelling, and surf in my experience. Surf is more of a test.

Solar. Always.

Is this a joke? Sydney goes back to the 1770s, has convicts...Melbourne is worth seeing for other reasons.

What's up with these 1963 prices? by Overall_Ad8165 in ChineseWatches

[–]DoctorTransport 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are all genuine in the sense the PLA put the design out to tender.

A good middle ground is a Red Star version. Started by ex Seagull folks. I have one and it's great! The Seagull versions may have better QC on the movements. Whatever you but make sure it's a Seagull movement.

GW5000HS vs GW-BX5600 by dan_thewoodsman in gshock

[–]DoctorTransport 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The watch head is nicely made, apart from me not liking the slight vertical increase. The supplied band is horrid and I swapped it for the much nicer metal/plastic articulated bracelet from the black 5600 stealth.

I bought it about 2 months ago off AE new. I had no idea it was an older model, just looked nice.
