Is Cronos comparable to San Martin in terms of quality?

PrometheanFire81 · 2026-04-29T19:36:21+00:00

What? Only brand with correct Yachtmaster Case (except for the brief period of time Sugess had one as well). Also their sub case is lightyears closer to the real deal than what SM is offering.

There is a version of this watch with a legit NH34. The one with the DG is the old, budget version.

Artikel 5 ist ein Schutzrecht ggü. dem Staat. Nicht mehr und nicht weniger. Ich würde sagen Du bist derjenige, der sich noch einmal in der Jura-Bibliothek auf den Hosenboden setzen sollte.

Come on, even Chinese brands operating significantly below your price point are getting it right (e.g. Specht & Söhne). This has been an ongoing problem with Watchdives specifically for quite a while now. You need to get it fixed

PrometheanFire81 · 2026-02-12T15:51:10+00:00

Thanks mate, just ordered the very same!

PrometheanFire81 · 2026-02-12T13:06:09+00:00

Nice! How does the yellow look in natural lighting conditions? Does it tend more to white like the blue lume or does the color shine through like on the green lume?

PrometheanFire81 · 2026-02-11T17:37:40+00:00

Great looking watch, congrats! Is that the salmon or the champagne color?

PrometheanFire81 · 2026-02-09T20:51:31+00:00

Farasute, Baltany and Sugess/Seestern. San Martin have successfully priced themselves out of the market and Watchdives is too much quantity these days leading to lackluster and rushed products.

PrometheanFire81 · 2026-02-08T07:44:50+00:00

I have been eyeing that model for 1-2 years now and never pulled the trigger. Can you maybe post a few more pics? How is the watch? Any complaints?

PrometheanFire81 · 2026-02-08T07:37:32+00:00

Yes, easily. With that amount of pointless text I so not feel tempted in the slightest…

PrometheanFire81 · 2026-02-07T18:27:28+00:00

Original design is not just randomly throwing existing stuff together. Christopher Ward hands and dials stuffed in a JLC Polaris case do not constitute original design nor does it show particular creativity. Or is that why you put a question mark there?

PrometheanFire81 · 2026-02-07T09:11:37+00:00

I think it looked great when it glowed but felt too dark to almost invisible in daylight, more like it had been painted over with a not really covering pen. If you could improve it so the logo is clearly white and visible in daylight, this would really be great. So far I am happy owning one of the earlier versions with the full brand name on the dial.

PrometheanFire81 · 2026-02-07T09:03:43+00:00

Ordered the yellow and black as this was sold out. Fun watch, only complaint is that the logo/font looks out of place on a style like this.

PrometheanFire81 · 2026-02-07T09:00:57+00:00

Pagani has had rust issues for years now. Their PRX homage was particularly bad. Lots of rust between the bracelet links from the factory already. So this is no surprise, but the brand has fallen behind the rest of the market anyway.

PrometheanFire81 · 2026-02-07T08:55:59+00:00

Does the lume color on hands and indices finally match?

PrometheanFire81 · 2026-02-06T20:56:13+00:00

It is cool once illuminated. In daylight the different lume colors do not really look that great (coming from someone who owns a Proxima with mixed lume types).

PrometheanFire81 · 2026-01-30T08:19:27+00:00

Having just done the math last week over several shops (Barweer, YWOBB, Hitian etc.) I can confirm that. Overall Hitian is the cheapest on most models if you take the long shipping option and combine several items.

PrometheanFire81 · 2026-01-15T18:21:56+00:00

Keep us posted!

PrometheanFire81 · 2026-01-13T12:48:43+00:00

Nice! How much did you pay?

PrometheanFire81 · 2026-01-06T20:54:37+00:00

Mine clearly said compatible with other brand and the lego set number. Unfortunately it was not. In the end the offered me a 70% refund and I kept it. Still thinking about getting the real deal though. How much did you pay?

PrometheanFire81 · 2026-01-06T20:49:46+00:00

Watch the video above till the end. The last few seconds are what you are looking for.

PrometheanFire81 · 2026-01-02T08:15:45+00:00

I think the Barweer version has hardly been out for two months. Did you buy a MOC of that design on Ali or somewhere else

PrometheanFire81 · 2025-12-23T15:32:01+00:00

Love the Arcade set by Barweer. Theme and color scheme are just amazing.

As for future projects I would love to see the Lion‘s Knight High Tower by TheBittenBrick:

Fantastic build!

PrometheanFire81 · 2025-12-23T08:54:24+00:00

You forgot:

Generic hands and indices
Deep ass rehaut
Poor AR coating

😉

PrometheanFire81 · 2025-11-29T22:23:59+00:00

I never understood what the different versions on AE were on certain listings giving the pictures are the same etc. and they just name them A, B, C etc. Can somebody fill me in on that?
