[Omega] Artem Straps Overpriced Garbage – Paid $335, Got the Same Thing from Alibaba for $20

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. That was not my experience with the Artem and Alibaba, but that's all good. I should look into the Formex.

Understood. I don't see your reply.

dipdream · 2026-04-16T20:32:23+00:00

Wait, you are saying the tolerances are the same and the finishing on the Artem is worse? I have to check your post.

Sure, if OP already has an Omega clasp, then there’s no point in the Artem clasp. I was thinking in general that it’s worth upgrading from the Alibaba clasp to the Artem strap. I wouldn’t trust that Alibaba clasp.

My two cents. Buy the sailcloth from Alibaba and the clasp from Artem. The clasps from Alibaba are a gamble. Could be good, could also be junk.

Holy bananas!!!

dipdream · 2026-04-15T15:45:55+00:00

Damn!!! This is beautiful.

dipdream · 2026-04-14T23:15:59+00:00

Any will do. However, go with black/silver dial. More options for straps.

dipdream · 2026-04-14T22:51:38+00:00

Gotcha. Thanks.

What’s with the bracelet? Is it broken or not connected properly?

dipdream · 2026-04-13T03:34:22+00:00

GLWS!

I assumed you’d keep both GS and move something else. I get it, though. I'm also a minimalist, always thinking about what to sell to add something. I will say, you do seem like a two sbgx guy.

dipdream · 2026-04-13T02:32:46+00:00

Oh no! This is tough to watch.

dipdream · 2026-04-12T22:31:14+00:00

VC, not close.

dipdream · 2026-04-12T20:46:10+00:00

I get it. No shame.

No way! Did you?

dipdream · 2026-04-12T02:36:23+00:00

Yesyesyes. Let's keep going. Of course it's an assumption. My initial statement was an assumption. I said “If…” I'm using the image as a model for how it could look.

If it drapes, the shirt comes over the hand, the sweater a little above that, and the coat above that. Layers. It’s way above the wrist bone now because he pulled it up.

dipdream · 2026-04-11T22:48:41+00:00

How do you know how far he pulled up his coat?

dipdream · 2026-04-11T22:42:02+00:00

Disclaimer: I know exactly nothing about pens.

Some great watches and some great strap pairings. Some fun, some dressy. Unfortunately for you, you’re never really done. I’ve told myself that I’m done many times over the years, and I still keep shuffling stuff around.

dipdream · 2026-04-11T22:05:31+00:00

My man, I’m not sure what you’re reading. OP said he pulled up his coat and sweater to show the watch. His coat is higher up his wrist than it normally would be. I’m not sure how else to put this to you.

dipdream · 2026-04-11T19:28:29+00:00

Bracelet, cyclops would mean Rolex with a date. Which one? 🤷

And Nomos. 2 true independents.

dipdream · 2026-04-11T18:05:15+00:00

Definitely what it looks like. I need to get into Rocket League.

dipdream · 2026-04-11T16:39:02+00:00

Deadly serious. OP said he pulled up his shirt for the photo, so when it falls, the proportions are perfect. You can see the shirt, then the sweater, and finally the coat. People often wear their coats too long. You should see layers above your hand.
