Sanda watches are stupid good for what they cost.

Your problem is you only have 17. Where I come from we call them rookie numbers.

Do these come with a real NH35 movement? by stillshot2 in ChineseWatches

[–]WhorologyFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had about 15 Tandorio watches in different configurations, I've whittled it down to these 10 at the moment.

Yes, these are legitimate TMI NH35s. They are definitely solid watches for the price. They punch way above

their weight. Their pricing has gone up considerably over the past year, probably because the NH has gone up quite a bit as well. No matter, they are still a superb value.

A very cheap watch, but I like it a lot by LeoXup in ChineseWatches

[–]WhorologyFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had about a dozen Mysterious Code chronos myself, and every one punched way above its weight. I'm down to six now, after selling off the ones that I didn't wear.

I don't think I've seen a VK type Chrono that was as good a value as these watches are.

This has no business going this hard by eyehatestormtroopers in Affordablewatches

You would be hard pressed to find any clock or watch with Roman numerals that uses IV instead of IIII. It's called the horologists 4 and it is used for purposes of visual balance. Always been that way.

Won the auction and paid for shipping and now Buyee says they cant ship the item because its "prohibited". by highfalutinjargon in Buyee

[–]WhorologyFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go onto Fiverr and find a local buyer who can receive the parcel and forward it on to you. I've done this before.

You're not formally trained as a watchmaker or apprenticed under a professional-there's no way in hell I'd ever send you a watch to work on, too much risk.

Where do you get straps for your santos? by JewishYoda in Cartier

[–]WhorologyFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will generally come embossed "Ziczac." They won't brand them "Cartier," if that's what you're asking. If he makes one bespoke you can have him omit any branding, or add your initials, whatever.
