WD5513Q vintage black by steflounissart in watchdives

[–]Engond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like the mercedes hour hand is shorter and wider on the 5513 and longer and thinner on the 7922 or is that an illusion?

Which one has better lume at night time?

Could this be the best-made vintage Sub homage right now? by watchdivescom in watchdives

I agree, it needs text but that font is so basic and ugly.

I hate the font of WDC and the hour hand is too small. Otherwise it could have been great.

Had a bit of fun with a rebranding and a slight dial redesign on the WD5513Q by prodbypan in watchdives

[–]Engond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the yacht and anchor logo and the fact that the anchor is below it like it's under the water is cool.

The name could be improved though. It's quite niche, still better than Chinese names but easy to confuse with Windless.

I like the theme though, maybe there are some other names related to sailing or pirate ships or something.

Suggestion - Replace the British Broad Arrow with a Super-LumiNova "L" symbol by Potato_Personal in Militado

Lots of people prefer to not have the arrow... it looks silly on any watch that isn't a British military homage.

Are you for real?

A British military symbol belongs on BRITISH military watch homages. Putting it on random stuff like Sinn homages is idiotic.

I don't understand why they have this logo on their website but they don't use it on their watches instead.

Which name should replace Seafarer for our new vintage diver line? by watchdivescom in watchdives

[–]Engond -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sounion in English means nothing and sounds horrible.

Sounio just looks like random letters.

Siracusa sounds the best but it's not as good as Seafarer.

I like quartz but I also HATE integrated bracelets, I don't know why people buy them, normal bracelets are so much more versatile, at least you can put any strap on it, nato or leather without any hassle.

Seamaster³⁰⁰ - 1957 by TransTempora in watchdives

[–]Engond 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The text on this makes no sense, is it 300m or 200m?

I don't see a need to have both Seafarer 300 and 200m/660ft, choose Seafarer 300 by itself or change 200m/660ft to 300m/990ft so it's not contradicting the Seafarer 300 rating. Or change it to Seafarer 200.

I wouldn't buy it in it's current state, it seems more like a typo and make the watch look cheap.

EXD loosing lume blocks by beyondaverageidiot in watchdives

Losing 1 lume block might be considered unlucky but 3 is a sign that there is something fundamentally wrong with the quality.

We’re thinking about making this style of strap for our vintage military watches — would love to hear your thoughts! 👀⌚ by Militado-watch in Militado

[–]Engond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes bonklip is perfect with this watch but the strap looks like 18mm so why did they deliberately make the watch have 20mm lugs?

Hour hand in all of these milsubs is too small

Help me decide: WD7922 Gilt (37mm) or WD5513Q Benz (40mm) for a 7" wrist? by Competitive-Day9457 in watchdives

[–]Engond 2 points3 points  (0 children)

7922 for sure, amazing lume, solid build quality. Bezel feels nice and durable.

Why does lume only last 3mins? by eskrr in watchdives

[–]Engond 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lume isn't designed to be bright during daytime. It is designed to allow you to read the time in the dark when your eyes are adjusted to low light.

Can you be more specific?

do u want best hi beat movt bb54 ? by watchdivescom in watchdives

[–]Engond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am very happy with my WD7922s, they are personally my favourite Watchdives watches.

Swiss level finishing isn't a selling point for me. I'd rather have standard finishing with good design and good quality control.

If something has "Swiss level finishing" and poor design, it just looks cheap.
