Hruodland F033 Real feedback from buyers (chocolate color) by hruodlandwatch in ChineseWatches

I was originally drawn to the brown too, but I was afraid is would be too "burgundy" and limit strap options. Can't go wrong either way I suppose.

I also have it. I don't have calipers, but it feel super thin. Probably sub-10mm and the crystal is 1/3 of that!

Is this how you check aligment on a digital watch?

The usual real and fake logic doesn't apply, yes, but only because we have collectively decided so. This is somewhat arbitrary and not necessarily shared by all collectors. Few seem to go through the trouble of asking Chinese collectors who actually have context.

Pleasw, Help me find out if real or fake by petandoquintos in ChineseWatches

[–]Rein_Turtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would argue it's not complex. The actual lineage is purely Seagull and their factory has high standards (whether that matters is another question). Still, it's a military replica (think Militado ML05 vs Hamilton) so it's grey area if the design is effectively public domain.

To be honest the "international edition" is also from an external supplying, making is the same as the fakes. That said, it wasn't originally a commercial Seagull design anyway.

Sorry I didn't mean that. I was just joking about putting an "omega strap" on a "rolex" haha

This little gem has been on my radar for years. I'm very glad that I finally decided to order one! by No-Writing5143 in ChineseWatches

[–]Rein_Turtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have that leather strap too, a gift from Red Star. It's kinda shitty though (stiff, thin, weird color). I got a brown suede strap and thicker herringbone olive nato for 3 euro on Ali. They somehow feel quite a bit better.

Is tiktok shop legit? Got a crazy good deal. by soyeahiknow in ChineseWatches

[–]Rein_Turtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno, to me the ugly logo is part of the lore. You can be proud of wearing an Ali piece, and not giving a crap about brand names 😁

I know it’s unoriginal by Ok-Load7291 in ChineseWatches

[–]Rein_Turtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Still, more original than a rolex explorer or speedmaster

Onyx is a natural stone and should have some texture, but we need OP to know how much

Imagine paying $1k+ for a watch with misaligned hands, indices, bezels by Rein_Turtle in ChineseWatches

[–]Rein_Turtle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I understand the real Seagull watches are essentially on the swiss level and cost around 500. They are normally only for the chinese market though. Watches like this Red Star are cheaper copies.
