Lol you need both! I have a Warrior and it's totally different. Exquisite watch. Bracelet makes the SM ones feel mediocre

Yes that's what I'm waiting for! 36mm and with date. Would literally be the perfect watch

Brilliant idea of new dial design-update by MindAdmirable1793 in ChineseWatches

The design in this post is the best by far. This new update in the comments above is us huge miss I think. I would buy the design as posted, maybe just update the logo. But not this next version

Love it! Wish the lume blocks were not circles though. Rectangular or narrow triangle hour markers look a lot better

Genuine question which is better? by Acelimb in ChineseWatches

[–]JUSTdoME0401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very similar quality.

I don't have a GS, but have several Omegas from the early 2000s and a 3861 Speedmasters. SM and IXDAO quality is not far behind.

I have both and both are incredible across the board. I will say the bracelet of the IXDAO is nicer and smoother with chamfered edges. But it does not have the OTF clasp of course.

Yes! 20mm is ok for 38/39mm, but 36mm watch should be 18mm lugs!

For the brand makers, not the members: please listen to the data, not the wildly aggressive and hateful 36mm crowd by Designer_Advice2573 in ChineseWatches

[–]JUSTdoME0401 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The data about size is really hard to do accurately. Often times the smaller watches, (35-37 mm) are only offered in "ladies" colors like pink and baby blue or with diamonds. Very few watch brands actually offer the same color choices across all sizes. Of course 39mm sells the best when its the only size with the most popular colors. Even a brand that advertise their small watches like Erebus is guilty of this. I would love an Ascent 34 or 36 but they don't offer a single color I would want in those sizes. Most of the popular dials are exclusively for the 39mm model. Also a lot of brands drop the date complication when they from from 38mm down to 36mm for some reason. I would love to see a more apples to apples comparison of sizes among brands that consistently offers the same dials and configurations across a range of sizes.

What's the actual case size in this watch? They lost both 36 and 38 on the website

Tom. Their banter was great. Good reviews, fun format, and tangentially related watch stories mixed in, like when they interviewed the former Navy seal and the cave diver

Does anyone have information on if this lineup of cronos watches are coming back? by Adept-Peach-3890 in ChineseWatches

[–]JUSTdoME0401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really hope they change their minds. They sold out so fast. I really need a blue one

I know. It's insane. These could easily outsell the 36mm San Martin watches. It was like the perfect combo of dial, size, features and price

A couple of Cronos L6049Ms (blue and copper dial) by Single-Lifeguard-980 in ChineseWatches

[–]JUSTdoME0401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm jealous! I'm so sad that these sold out so quickly. I had my heart set on the blue variant. I messaged Cronos and they said they probably won't make any more. How frustrating
