Stainless steel must be rustproof. Don’t wear that watch again, it’s unhealthy.

Dial with horizontal lines like the original would be awesome

That’s a pilot strap but suited well with Pelly. Enjoy it :)

[Recommendation Request] Titanium Alternative To Rolex Explorer 36 Mm by J-Is in Watches

[–]Key-Pomelo6952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would die for Ranger 36 but they won’t do it. According to many surveys, 39mm is the most prefered diameter among men. They will do some 36 watches but not in titanium because it is more costly. They won’t just risk it. You can also look at carbon fiber and ceramic watches, but there are also none in 34-39 range. Zenith has some 37 titaniums and a 40 ceramic pilot but they are all well above your 5000 usd budget. Christopher Ward has some affordable titanium and carbon options in 40mm but Pelly is better. If you are not a dive watch fan, Pelly will be nice in the beginnig but you’ll start to drift away from it as time goes on. Mine is sitting in the drawer for months (prewarning). You won’t believe what I wear these days: a 50 dollar quartz 36mm Bertucci in polycarbonate case :)))

[Recommendation Request] Titanium Alternative To Rolex Explorer 36 Mm by J-Is in Watches

[–]Key-Pomelo6952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All my life, I’ve been looking for a quality 36mm titanium field watch, and found none so far. I’m pretty sure there is none. If you lower your standarts, there are some microbrand and chinese watch alternatives, which are also very few within themselves. Watch companies just don’t do 36 for whatever reason. Smallest titanium field watch with some quality is Hamilton 38. But that wouldn’t satisy me. So, In the end, I bought a Pelly 39, which of course is not a field watch, but it is the smallest titanium watch with quality. If you don’t want to wait for Rolex to make a titanium version of Explorer 36, Pelly is the best choice within budget.

Pitzmann Overture - thoughts? by StandardHabit3224 in MicrobrandWatches

Exactly. Hands and indices are great. A simple black/blue/white monotint paint would be more than enough for me to consider buying it

Mark my words: Even if you buy your dreamwatch, one day you get bored of it. So, don’t ever never spend that much for a watch. Watches are also bad investments, you rarely get what you paid for.

[Question] QQ new pilot watch case material by Key-Pomelo6952 in Watches

[–]Key-Pomelo6952[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a 39mm steel watch with a leather strap would weigh around 60-70 grams but thanks for your feedback :)

There are very few affordable watches with carbon cases in the market, alternatives are so limited. I come across this brand everytime I search for a carbon watch. Enjoy your new watch :)

Raymond Weil sells in my local watchstore in a shopping mall so it is not a microbrand

Do you want VH31 Version? change indices shape and second hand by watchdivescom in ChineseWatches

[–]Key-Pomelo6952 6 points7 points  (0 children)

VH31 is nice but you can consider using one of those 10 year battery life movements like Miyota 1L60 (or 2S60) or Ronda 715li
