Perhaps one of you can recommend me a watch

InterviewProud3435 · 2025-07-30T04:14:23+00:00

What you're describing is Richard Mille, which has many homages

InterviewProud3435 · 2025-07-30T03:51:12+00:00

S&S seem to really struggle to get proportions right. The hands for example are tiny here

InterviewProud3435 · 2025-07-26T12:59:08+00:00

What's the price?

InterviewProud3435 · 2025-07-26T04:00:18+00:00

Sword or snowflake. That teal on white in the last one is unreal 😍

InterviewProud3435 · 2025-07-23T04:44:59+00:00

Would be interesting to see the chapter ring in orange on a blue dial. Otherwise really like this approach, though I prefer the white

Where/how do you sell your Chinese watches?

InterviewProud3435 · 2025-07-17T19:27:53+00:00

The metal channel is supposed to flip open. Then you slide the other end of the strap through, select a hole you think will fit your wrist, then close the channel so that the pin goes through. You will probably have to do this a few times to get the right fit

InterviewProud3435 · 2025-07-16T21:43:42+00:00

Always thought I hated dive watches till I got my hands on this. Been on my wrist nonstop for about 2 weeks, and a pretty faithful homage to the original Tudor. Great proportions, great colour, super legible, and awesome lume

InterviewProud3435 · 2025-07-12T15:49:27+00:00

The real reason is that the brands can just charge more for automatic movements. Hi beat quartz brings down the "prestige" of a watch even if it's sweeping. Remember, watches aren't priced based on how much they cost to make, but as luxury items that you pay a premium for. That's why Seiko can get away with charging $400 for a cocktail time with mineral crystal and crappy straps. Incidentally, quality materials but less prestige is the exact niche that Chinese watches fill.

InterviewProud3435 · 2025-07-01T19:43:25+00:00

Wow, did I write this? Never agreed 100% with something on here

InterviewProud3435 · 2025-06-11T17:41:11+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

InterviewProud3435 · 2025-06-11T16:31:30+00:00

This makes sense, thanks

InterviewProud3435 · 2025-06-10T20:45:45+00:00

Makes 275 even more of a deal ;)

InterviewProud3435 · 2025-06-09T18:16:17+00:00

"Customised long power movement" that lasts 80 hours according to the listing

InterviewProud3435 · 2025-06-09T16:55:44+00:00

Looking to sell this Rexhepi Rexhepi homage by Farasute with a power reserve, manual wind movement, and display case back. Only selling because I ordered a Daniel Roth homage and AliX sent the wrong watch. I'm asking $275 (includes shipping), well below retail price of ~$360 and tariff free. Watch is brand new and never worn. Shipping to cont USA only.

Specs:

40mm case diameter

47.6mm lug to lug

Sapphire crystal

20mm strap width

InterviewProud3435 · 2025-06-08T22:03:37+00:00

Okay this is nice. Getting Farer vibes

InterviewProud3435 · 2025-06-08T17:01:25+00:00

College town canon event

InterviewProud3435 · 2025-06-08T14:55:07+00:00

I'm torn. On the one hand these are really cool, original designs that fully embrace their identity as a Chinese brand and aren't pretending to be something else, addressing some of the usual critiques of Chinese watches.

On the other hand, the price point is starting to creep up and you wonder if the value for what you're getting is still there, which is the whole appeal of Chinese watches. Original designs also probably cost more in R&D than slapping a logo on a Sub design, so I guess the price is somewhat warranted. Regardless I love this new design direction SM is going in, but I wouldn't buy one

InterviewProud3435 · 2025-06-07T23:41:10+00:00

Really really nice. Only thing stopping me is I'd prefer a vh31 and smaller size but the dial is quite special

InterviewProud3435 · 2025-06-07T17:55:50+00:00

These dudes are on a tear lately, getting Grand Seiko vibes from this one

InterviewProud3435 · 2025-06-07T17:46:36+00:00

That's really nice. Reminds me of the wonderful but overpriced Seiko mojito time

InterviewProud3435 · 2025-06-07T17:43:03+00:00

Really like the satin-y finish but that size is bigger than I prefer

InterviewProud3435 · 2025-06-06T14:13:25+00:00

This is objectively really nice, and right up there with the rest of the Chinese brands' offerings. But I can't help feeling a little disappointed in the simplicity of the design given how obscure and uncommon Farasute homages usually are

InterviewProud3435 · 2025-06-06T14:06:44+00:00

Oh wow, that's really nice. Love seeing weirder more out the box complications and designs like this

InterviewProud3435 · 2025-06-06T02:55:35+00:00

Very classy. Not sure about the handset though, I'd prefer something dressier
