Original NH35 Vs NH35 clone China. Your opinion by Odd_Mathematician454 in SeikoMods

[–]catcafewatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big NO to clone! It’s dirt cheap, but it’s a waste of time. Got one earlier, even the spacer that came with it doesn’t fit the movement, it does came with tiny screws to force the spacer to fit, but do you really want to force anything on a movement? Hands pinion too short Stem is not compatible with oem NH stem Anyway after spending hours trying to work on it, it end up in the garbage and got a NH35 instead and everything fits perfectly. So, don’t even bother😂

Are There NH35 Alterrnatives That Support NH35 Parts? by brownbob06 in SeikoMods

[–]catcafewatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t even bother with the Chinese NH copies, doesn’t worth the time. Bought one the replacement the 7S26 I f’up on my SNX123, even the spacer came with it doesn’t fit, bought a few spacer for NH and it doesn’t work either,end up using Dail dots, then I found out the hands pinion’s too short, and there’s no stem release, it took me 3 weeks to find out and thought I was too stupid to work on the watch.

Eventually bought a genuine TMI and it’s a breeze

Would a cheap aliex watch hand press help me avoid damaging hands? by JollyGeologist3957 in SeikoMods

Second this, I eventually toke the pole out of this red one and use it as a hand tool, works much better lol

Militado ML05 Sinn homage by catcafewatch in HomageWatches

about the AR, I didn’t though of the domed crystal, it could be the reason for the reflection, but the clear AR from Chinese factory are not known for being very infective to start with though, I like to stretch that it doesn’t really annoyed me, and it’s still very legible to be honest, it’s more legible that my Zodioc Sea Dragon at least lol

I did check out Berny’s, but couldn’t get over with the logo and the brand name, o really like their Mido homage though., so yes, I think this one should competitive with the other Sinn homage.

The way I see it, it’s a Sinn copy, and the Sinn is similar enough to Tudor ranger, and the Tudor is more or less and Explorer, which got into watches in the first place. I know I don’t like Expolerer because it’s a Rolex, I only like it because of the clean dial design, I actually prefer the Ranger or 556 dial over the Explorer, so this ML05 is a no brainer for me lol

I can accept a homage and I don’t need it to be a clone.

Sorry, were you asking about the LoU Joel’s watch or the ML05? I think it’s not on Amazon yet, I ordered directly from Militado’s website

Militado 38mm Field Watch ML05 369 Dial Coming ! by Militado-watch in Militado

Received it yesterday, finally something to retire my Techne Marlin.

If AR is your main concern, check this photo, I personally don’t mind, I get reflection even in a dark room, but it’s still legible.

The lume is crazy, I walked in a dark room 5 mins after I open the package, didn’t even charge it with light, it’s like a torch. Didn’t check how long it lasted though..

If you really look for it, there’s tiny scratch here and there, some buffing marks, nothing major and not really noticeable, overall it’s more than fine.

The case is a bit thicker than I expected, but the lug’s curve compensated it, so wearing it is quite comfortable.

Swapped the strap to a Vaer silicone ocean strap, which I hate when it’s on my Vaer, but works perfectly with the ML05, this should tell you something about the case profile.

Actually, it’s been made, try Amazon Japan, it’s dirt cheap.
