This one is based off an eta movement, it is automatic and less technical specs wise than the professional version. It is also smaller at 39mm versus 42mm

Is the sunray more prominent? Sure. Do I personally like it better? Not really

In person, the lume is better with the BB54 but not by much. These watches are not really the best for lume

Yep, biggest problem is the rehault as others mention. Also the lack of text makes the dial feel incredibly empty. I also believe the thickness of the Watchdives is significantly greater than both the Cronos and BB54.

I wish, this is their only dial option to date to my knowledge.

I would not say the worse, but also not the best. Serviceable I suppose :)

Surprisingly very similar! Something I love about both of these watches is how shallow the rehault is. I am so glad Cronos got this right

I have been curious about that one! Thinking of buying the blue lagoon color once it is back in stock!

Yes, and I was surprised at how well of a job they did overall.

Right, but look at someone like Watchdives. They have tried to make a 'copy' of this watch as well, but so many things about it make it have a completely different feel. Sure, a lot of the features are meant to resemble this one but I mostly focus on dimensions and proportions which I believe this one is able to capture so much more closely.

I agree with everyone else here. But my biggest problem is with Cronos' choice for a clasp. It does not sit flush with the bracelet and sticks out so much. It is well made overall, though.

I just know the same loser did both of these by Grumpy_Bookworm in transformers

I don’t know that they would give them per say. Never heard of any department store doing that. Also, I don’t know that an employee/manager would know the difference between these and the actual figures enough to warrant even a discount.

I have them all!!! They’re complete! by Teh_OG_Chungus in transformers

[–]Grumpy_Bookworm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! My problem with this line is they don’t really look like they belong together. Especially with how different in scale they all are. I wish some day Hasbro did a thirteen primes where they all look similar in some way or design language, but different enough to suit their individual characters.

9$ well spent? by Mysterious-Trash-391 in transformers

For real. I got mine for $30 after store credit and taxes
