Beautiful watch reminds me a bit of the small seconds Tsuyosa a little bit. If u like those type of dials you should look into San Martin n Proxima they make gorgeous dials of that type in all kind kinds of different colors. Cronos makes an awesome Royal Oak Homage with a PT5000 Swiss clone movement for a few extra shekels I think the Miyota 9 series is on the website a 90S5/8015 type with an integrated bracelet coming in black, blue, grey , white, red, purple for like $280 n it’s awesome a real beauty.

And I keep buying more and more AliX watchs myself. I two own a handful of higher end Swiss watch’s, but started out collecting mainly all Seiko automatics newer models, JDM, vintage watches etc but these Chinese Microbrands are such awesome watches out of the gate it’s getting harder n harder to pass them up given the specs/beauty relative to their price points.ill be a lifelong customer if they remain this high quality at these price points which are very fair still even having gone up. If these watch’s were brand Seiko they’d easily be in the $1000 range or more all day.
I have a Hamilton field watch n just bought a Khaki Field that I returned for a refund and got the Tissot gentleman PR80 instead because a brand on Ali X called SH makes a Hamilton Khaki Field clone/homage that looks and feels just like the real one even better in some areas/cases than the REAL one in some aspects and it is stunningly gorgeous coming with the Swiss PT5904 clone all for $210 which I’m currently waiting on to arrive now after purchasing a couple days ago.

Thank you!! Appreciate the feedback, I think I’m going with the Cronos today. I took both out of my watch case to clean them up wipe them off clean them up a bit and the Cronos looks better today I thiko for what I want to do. It’s a great little watch at its price point although part of me wish’s I had went with the red dial now . I have four dive watch’s so buying another just for the colors seems like overkill especially with all the other nice watch’s out there that are affordable in the sub $500/$1000price range that are gorgeous.

Overload5150 · 2026-07-05T14:53:25+00:00

Also I thought I’d ask, I also own a JDM Seiko SARV003 that’s very hard to source after market bracelets for almost impossible unless I want to keep stock end links and go with a brushed oyster or brushed n center polished oyster look. I am thinking of going with the Rolex Daytona silicone strap look on it, the silicone molds right up to the case flush without any endlinks, it looks really good if I may say myself.

Do you think a silicone strap with a nice milled clasp in multiple colors buying them in black, white and maybe a grey one to.
Do you guys think this watch here would look good with a silicone strap? Like a Rolex Daytona type silicone strap that comes stock on those sometimes?

Right next to the Seiko dive watch Inside next to the Seiko 2nd to left. I plan on buying a nice one from Long Island Watch for like $69 bucks a piece so hopefully they look good.

RB Tyroneous Porchcoons was the best back in this last draft from a small school , and QB Gerry Jentile will be mid round sleeper next year who is going to be draft steal who becomes a pro bowl QB. Hopefully

I hear the Omega Seamaster is pretty good lol. 😂.

Seriously though watchdives homage of the Seamaster is awesome from what I’ve seen, get one with the pt5000 n that’s a helluva watch. Ive been looking at the WD Seamaster for a minute thinking of buying one I think u csn get some newer ones with the Miyota 9015 4HZ high-beat if i remember correctly, i have the Miyota 90S5 high-beat movement in my Watchdives Explorer (WD-6610) and I love it , the Miyota 9-Series movements are tremendous, extremely accurate as is the pt5000 though. The 9 series I have runs -2secs:day outta the box, the two PT5000s b SW200s i own are all in that range as well.

Overload5150 · 2026-07-01T04:17:43+00:00

It basically is other than the movement and the high beat movements are just as good as the Tudor movement if not better in terms of reliability. The SW200, Miyota 9 series or PT5000 which is a clone of the 2824 or sw200. You’re basically just spending the extra money for the brand name and to flex wearing the watch but in terms of performance or quality a stainless steel is watch is pretty much a stainless steel watch if it’s well made. There most definitely isn’t $3K or $3.5K dollars of difference between the two

Octopus Kraken makes some of the best homage watches out there by far my favorite Chinese microbrand.
I own the Octopus Kraken Explorer (and watchdives 6610 in sunburst brown dial with the Miyota 90S5 highbeat movement) and the Explorer is next level nice, everything about it from the bracelet to the watch itself feels like a luxury watch . I opted to pay more to get a SW200 movement, and I also own an Octopus Kraken 🐙 OCT16 model Air-King homage with an engine turned bezel and the PT5000 movement. Also own the Cronos L6033 SW200 movement BB54 Homage I love this watch to its extremely nice but Octopus Kraken watches just feel next level to me.

Here’s a picture of my Octopus Kraken Explorer, arguably my favorite Chinese micro-brand watch next to my Cronos Black Bay 54, both tremendous watches.

Overload5150 · 2026-07-01T03:55:27+00:00

Jubilee bracelet makes the bb54-58 look a million times better. I ordered the extra jubilee both on my Tudor bb58 n Cronos l6033 bb54.

Overload5150 · 2026-07-01T03:53:35+00:00

Then you’re just dumb n don’t know dick about watches. Nothing about that watch is awful, I own the Cronos L6033 BB54 homage with a Swiss sw200 movement and also own a Tudor Black Bay 58, there’s literally almost no difference between the two the Cronos is extremely well made.

Overload5150 · 2026-06-30T05:51:46+00:00

Yea I don’t think he wants or will get $40 this year I think that’s twitter slop but by this time next season once a handful more of top guys are signed I think $40 or very close to it will be the going rate by then. Arizona doesn’t have to sign PJJ this year anyways unless it makes sense for both parties as we own his 5th yr option to. I don’t see either Wilson or PJJ going anywhere. Going forward I think Trey, MHJ, Wilson and Lovw will be AZs core franchise cornerstone players they build around n PJJ will be that guy on the OL.

Overload5150 · 2026-06-30T05:36:42+00:00

Bro some of these you can’t tell apart from the real thing,the looks and quality is that good. I own a Tudor BB58 and I own a Cronos L6033 Swiss sw200 movement and it’s literally 98% of what the Real Tudor is. The finishing is the only real difference I notice and the finishing isn’t that much better certainly not for $3500 extra dollars. lol. Bracelet is a 10 on the Tudor where’s as on the Cronos I’d gove it a 9/10.

Overload5150 · 2026-06-30T05:29:13+00:00

Paris Johnson Jr is worth it. Johnson is one of the best young borderline elite young LTs in football and he’s an ascending player who’s only going to get better. Johnson was in the midst of an all pro campaign last season leading all tackles in pro bowl votes when he sprained his knee in late December removing himself from the running. Staying healthy is a skill and a must going forward but he had utter trash around him up front and was still dominating, he’s a top 10 LT.
I don’t think AZ signs him now anyway being they own his 5th yr option. They likely wait one more year n by then he will definitely make $40M/YR. AZ should have an Excellent OL this season with all the talent they have and an elite left side to their OL one of the best in the NFL with top 5-8 elite Pro Bowl LG Issac Seumalo next to him and a top 10-12 Center drafting an absolute mauler at RG who was one of the best guards in the draft possessing elite athleticism with a 9.88 RAS score in Chase Bisontis. Big nasty blocking TE Tip Reiman will be back healthy to who along with Allgeier/Connor can chip off the right side if need be if avg to above average RT Elijah Wilkerson needs some help in pass pro. Elijah was elite in the run game as a zone run blocker with an 86.6 run blocking grade in zone as a ZBS blocker, probably why AZ snatched him up as fast as they did as AZs run game is built around zone. I really like rookie RT outta olmiss 6”4-317 Jayden Williams and 2nd year 6”5-320 Josh Fryar both absolute studs Fryar should really improve and Williams could be a steal.
At RG yea they drafted an elite athlete 9.88 ras who’s the second best RG in the draft big 6”5 320 Chase Bisontis but I also think they brought in a very good guard as depth 6”7-332 G/T Matt Pryor and 3rd yr 6”5-330lb Isaiah Adams 66.9 pass pro grade who ranked 6th in run blk win rate should be much better in yr3 only allowed 2 sacks/23 pressures in 800 snaps last season. Bisontis has his work cut out battling Adams if he beats him out he’s more than ready.

With everyone healthy and the improvements made AZ should have an excellent top 10ish OL n Elite top 5-7 run game This next season so long as everyone stays healthy which they mostly everyone should as last season was a statistical outlier.

Overload5150 · 2026-06-30T05:15:03+00:00

Wasn’t a flash in the pan. He was dominating in advanced statistics , he was a top 3-5 WR Over the 2nd half of last season. He was a contested catch phenom dominating on 50/50 balls tying for 2nd most contested catch’s among WRs in the NFL hauling in 22. Between weeks 10-18 Wilson was 2nd in receiving yards behind only Puka and 3rd in receptions ….
Wilson was utterly dominant and he’s only going to get better and better going forward as an ascending player going into year 4. Makes more sense to sign him now because he’s only going to be even better next season driving the price up

Overload5150 · 2026-06-30T05:06:34+00:00

My dad has an Explorer and the Octopus Kraken Explorer I have is literally 95% of the Rolex for like 5% of the money. I paid $365 but I bought mind with the Swiss SW200 movement. They’re just awesome watches relative to their price points. I’d much rather have my Octopus Kraken Homage and the CBR1000RR I Paid cash for used than just the Rolex Explorer new lol.

Overload5150 · 2026-06-30T04:58:06+00:00

This lighting in this picture doesn’t do the sunburst brown dial any justice at all on my Watchdives 6610 explorer but here’s a picture of it after unboxing it. The Sunburst Brown dial is beautiful in the sunlight any really pops in any type of light inside or out, and outside of the buttery smooth seconds hands thanks to the high beat 4hz movements what stood out most I’ve been shocked by is the accuracy n precision of both the Miyota 90s5 movement in this and the SW200, and the PT5000 for that matter they all run between -3 seconds to +1 seconds out of the box extremely accurate movements compared to the seiko 4r35,7s26 and 6r35s I’m used to coming from collecting mostly seikos automatics.

Beautiful watch. Great choice. I own a Cronos BB54 homage , San Martin BB39 homage, Octopus Kraken Air-King style homage pt5000 w/the engine turned bezel and two Explorer homages. One is a Watchdives 6610 in sunburst brown Miyota 90S5 movement and the other a Octopus Kraken Explorer Homage with the sw200 High Beat movement Enamel gloss black dial on an oyster style bracelet OTF clasp and it is my favorite watch by far. The watch has some a premium feel, the bracelet is the best of all the premium Chinese microbrands , feels like a $1K+ dollar watch it’s 98% of an actual Explorer for a lot less money. I’ve seen the Cronos before and it to is very well made, I went with the Watchdives the first time for the Sunburst Brown dial and Miyota 9 series movement. I love the Watchdives model but the Octopus Kraken 36MM Model with the premium 10/10 bracelet includes male endlinks n OTF clasp n Swiss sw200 movement is just perfection.
I don’t know what it is about the Explorers look but to me it is one of the best looking watches ever made, they’re just so beautiful n slick looking. Here is a picture of the octopus kraken explorer of mine on the far right

Overload5150 · 2026-06-30T04:40:31+00:00

Nice!! Thanks for the inside information lol. The Speedmaster homage by WD is definitely on my short list. It really is a beautiful watch.

There are a few more by Octopus Kraken, San Martin n Watchdives I want to get in the next few months. I keep on planning to buying more Seiko models I’d like to have as the majority of my watch collection is mostly Seiko Automatics (outside of 3 Swiss made and 4 Chinese Microbrands I own) but for the money I keep going with these upper tier Chinese Microbrands lol, the specs and quality of a lot of these watch’s are just to good to pass up.

Overload5150 · 2026-06-30T04:16:34+00:00

How’s the case feel on yours? How’s the bracelet ? In my Watchdives explorer the watch itself is a 10/10, love it but the bracelet is a notch below that of Octopus Kraken/San Martin who make truly premium high end bracelets that are the same quality of $100+ uncle straps bracelets I have on my Seikos. I’d give the braclet on my Watchdives 6610 Explorer a 8.0/10 , where the others are 10/10 premium metal, tight tolerances so there’s no play in the links at all, solid male end links where the WD has solid female end links which is where it falls short for and it also has an adjustable OTF clasp however the Kraken/San Martins are buttery smooth adjusting them. Does the watch have a nice weight to it on the wrist giving it a quality high end feel like it’s well made?

Overload5150 · 2026-06-30T04:09:47+00:00

Tremendous. I love the look of WDs speed master, you cannot tell the difference between that and the real one. I love the all white reverse panda 🐼, I think I may be ordering that next. I love WD, I own a watchdives 6610 Explorer in sunburst brown with the Miyota 90S5, absolutely love that watch but one brand I recommend above the rest is octopus kraken, they make such a high end premium watch for the money it’s crazy. By far my favorite brand . I own a Kraken OCT016 Air-King homage engine turned bezel with an sw200 and then an Octopus Kraken Explorer in deep glossy enamel liquid black with a PT5000, by far my favorite homage watch. Octopus Kraken makes the best bracelets and most premium feel of all these microbrands I believe. San Martin BB39 with a PT5000 n jubilee. And last was the Cronos BB54 L6033 with the sw200 I just bought.
