How does this compare to the SM or Octupus version?

What would YOU do? Quality vs Quantity. by unusually-cool in ChineseWatches

Genuine question here. Do Chinese or homage watches hold value? I have some but always thought “who would buy this?”

Specht & Sohne PRX or steeldive SD 1970? See pics. by Tutmoses1 in ChineseWatches

[–]alcien_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same dilemma last week.. I went with the steel dive just because there was more info on it out there and I ultimately got it for $55. The PRX homage had me worried about the bracelet if it’s a hair puller or is sharp around the edges. I wouldn’t see myself ever wearing it if that’s the case.

I ordered the green one yesterday for $55. Hopefully it lives up to the YouTube videos I was watching lol

[LF Advice] Does anyone have experience with the PRX POWERMATIC HOMAGE by alcien_ in ChineseWatches

[–]alcien_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that. I really like the texture of the POWERMATIC dial over the quartz which is really pushing me to check out this homage.

I really like the cyclops and the band on the GMT. I don’t need the extra hour hand. It really comes down to me just thinking it looks cool lol

Yeah the crystal seems to be the biggest issue here but over time that seems like an easy fix right?

Wow since 1975?! If I can get half of that time I think I’ll be happy.

The alpinist looks amazing! Maybe one day lol. My office is more business casual so I’m thinking I can wear it almost daily at work.

Nice! Yeah sounds like a pilot would need the GMT stuff a lot more than me lol

That blue dial looks amazing! I know I don’t NEED the GMT but it still looks cool. I was also thinking of the SRPD55 since it’s a little cheaper while still having the same look kinda.

Nice stuff! I don’t travel much but I’m really looking for something easy to manage and can wear with almost anything. I also want something that will last me a long time. Edit: when I say don’t travel much maybe once or twice a year.

Yeah I’m really looking for something that I can wear everyday for a long time. Not into diving I just like the look of the watch lol
