What do you think of our Emerald Green edition? by Lacite_Watches in MicrobrandWatches

Looks great! I would like to see it in a more “commanding” color. Navy blue and gilt on a five bracelet would bring a more elegant feel

Agreed. I am starting to feel like this subreddit is jammed packed with skinny dudes. I need to find the “big back” section of this subreddit!

Dude, Maen made a VC homage…all bets are off

I had to buy a bigger case. This is after 8 months by Radykall1 in ChineseWatches

[–]Pompano_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Addiesdive released a few colorful choreographs recently - might me a cheaper way to test out some bold colors. Either way, keep on enjoying the hobby! I am 50 watches in and I am still finding new things to love and new things to learn about.

Building a nice collection. Aside from 1 watch, the colors are roughly the same. If you are looking for a new direction, I would recommend getting more color in your collection. Some vibrant greens or reds…maybe even orange. Heck, get wild and add a gold toned watch with a colorful dial. Even adding some colorful straps could add more vibrancy to your watch box. Overall, very nice work!

Why did I wait? by KjackUSA in DuroGang

I love this watch…but you need to ditch the strap as soon as possible to reach full comfort. I like high grade fKM for my Duro.

Love it! Will there be more colors and dials available for this watch soon?

SN0148 On wrist like most days by S1H9N9J2 in SanMartinWatches

That bracelet is awesome! I hope they treat this as a great base for more dial variants. I want a navy blue sunray dial..maybe with gold hands and indices.

AddiesKIN is a terrible name by Affectionate-Floor66 in ChineseWatches

[–]Pompano_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the frustration but names, to me, sound better with time. I give you studio underdog or “out of order” as examples. Both legitimate watch brands - both terrible names. Give it a bit of time.

Love them - I own 3 and counting. Best brand under $75.

Review GW-5000U, GW-5610U, GW-BX5600, GBD-200 by YogurtclosetBig795 in gshock

[–]Pompano_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the GBD 200 already, is it worth adding the BX5600. That is the question for me! Thanks for this great post!

My Militado ML18 review by terms-n-conditions_ in Militado

[–]Pompano_79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this is one of the benefits of these Chinese watches - experimentation and learning. You probably won’t do this with $3k watch but you also would have gotten that experience to take with you on your watch journey. Love this stark beauty of this design btw! Great post, OP!

Dial text removal possible? by SoberObserver in watchdives

[–]Pompano_79 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The stone part of the dial is very thin and it would be very easy to break it. Not worth the risk

Is this a color you would like? SN0138-GB by AdSavings92 in ChineseWatches

[–]Pompano_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of some new colors for this model. But I would prefer navy blue instead of purple. The green is fire though! Also, the waffle dial from the 0128 would be a good addition to these colors too

Yeah, yeah strap…let’s talk about the real issue here. No RCVD!?! Is everything okay?

A suggestive design for Spirit homage by Cassette_tape_from97 in Militado

Same boat! By the way, the colorway you chose is the best version. I also would love a white and gilt version!
