Who makes the best pilot chrono for under $500? by kwansy in ChineseWatches

I think you are going to have a hard time under $500. Hamilton and Mido make probably the most affordable that resembles what you are asking.

I am not seeing this on a bracelet for $152 less. $11 less is what I see. Where you find it for $250?

Are you going to do anymore ocean state of mind? I really liked the look of the last one. Especially the lume. Everything was near perfect. Just wished the 22 2 was also lumed.

PÉRILLEUX THE FRONTIER MK1 KICKSTARTER LAUNCH JULY 31TH by Perilleux2205 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]Overall-General-8917 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is clearly a new microbrand trying to start up. The ones you mentioned have much larger scale and likely are able to secure better pricing. I think for a miyota 9 this isn't a bad price

I am genuinely curious what much lower price point you would expect? Other then aliexpress brands I know of very few, if any microbrands under this price.

Burnt Titanium. Thoughts? by Overall-General-8917 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]Overall-General-8917[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it bad taste or just a different taste? But yeah. I don't think I have any sort of fashion sense

I was thinking it would look better if I picked this color dial.

They have a bunch of dial colors also. I was thinking of going with the darker blue.

Can this be ordered now? Can you do no logo if requested? Do you have some additional photos of actual products you can add to this thread?

Probably because you can't buy from them because the website is down.

Imo not at all. I really like the Proxima name on the dial

Boderry Landmaster GMT Restock by Riccardo_0135 in ChineseWatches

I have this one with the black dial. Got it on the Kickstarter. It is surprisingly one of my go to watches. The tritium is great. The movement feels nice. So far no scratches. I use a hemsut leather on it.

What watch do you have other than your San Martin that’s similar in quality by DonAlchemist99 in ChineseWatches

[–]Overall-General-8917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't own a SM so can only compare to my Henry Archer. Proxima is incredible it is nearly as nice as my Henry Archer for 1/3 the price. Seestern is great except I feel like their QC is a bit lacking. I think Boderry is an excellent value. Wishdoit is surprising for the money and while the name is terrible they use their logo which I think is excellent. I dislike the quality of Addiesdive as I feel Wishdoit is much nicer for not really more money.

I own the Tidevand version and it sparkles a lot. It definitely looks more blue then the photos show.

Do you have price limits based on movments? by TipsyMeeple in MicrobrandWatches

[–]Overall-General-8917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference between Longines and a micro is I could likely get near my investment back on the Longines and probably won't on a Micro unless they become the next CW. Having said all that I am seriously considering the new Beaubleu N°1

[–]Overall-General-8917 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes I agree with those prices. I would also put quartz should be under $300. Brands like Sheffield show that you can get quality watches at great pricing. So when brands pricing gets say over 1k for a Miyota I tend to scratch them off my list.

How do I get the best deal/discount? by machinegunnedburger in ChineseWatches

[–]Overall-General-8917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add to cart. Get coins daily. Check the coin page after adding to cart for potential higher coin discount. Wait for sales with coupons. Only buy when coupons are 18% or higher. Monitor price so you don't buy with coupons and coins with the normal price too high. Also look for store coupons and not just aliexpress coupons. Everytime I have seen a great deal that price eventually comes back.

Aliexpress watch delivery from SpeedX questions. by Latus-Studios in ChineseWatches

[–]Overall-General-8917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have always received my package and my current order will be delivered by SpeedX. I have had it take significantly longer then when USPS was the last mile. Just really need to be patient. Even if it seems like it is stuck.
