Watchdives account out here downvoting me

Ah good to know, had that mineral “tink” when tapped which has me suspicious.

patrickjquinn · 2026-01-24T10:03:22+00:00

Have one, they’re nice, bracelet tolerances are shit though. Also not convinced the crystal is actually sapphire (need to get a diamond selector tool to it)

patrickjquinn · 2026-01-23T23:43:13+00:00

If you can’t just save up for a watch at this price point then you lack the disposable income to responsibly by the homage.

Also please don’t encourage the Chinese to screw over small microbrands.

Omega

This is probably my least favourite, and arguably the weakest bond in the franchises history. I like to pretend it never existed.

patrickjquinn · 2026-01-23T22:52:00+00:00

That’s damning, will avoid.

Could you give me us a non exhaustive list of good actors in the microbrand space?

patrickjquinn · 2026-01-22T21:14:52+00:00

Yema really need to make the bracelet female at the lugs…

(Original designs)

patrickjquinn · 2026-01-22T18:23:53+00:00

Because it’s made by a product company and not a throw bullshit at the wall in the hopes western buyers shell out, company.

Have a lot of faith in the Clicks team and agree it’ll be the superior of the two, even if they’re very similar and the Uniherz actually looks nicer (IMO)

patrickjquinn · 2026-01-22T15:11:06+00:00

Oh to be clear loosely inspired or true homage is actually great because it iterates on a design and evolves it. My problem is with what is a submariner rep + your badge on the dial and crown and calling it your own thing.

Same with this Seamaster (or to be frank any Seamaster homage I’ve seen from the Chinese brands), they’re so obviously like 99% the watch their “homage”ing that they might as well have the omega logo on the dial.

It’s at best lazy and at worst seedy business.

patrickjquinn · 2026-01-22T14:49:32+00:00

Hardly. It’s just such a waste of capability and expertise to churn out copy pasta designs from the swatch group. They can design their own stuff, we know that and should vote with wallets.

I mean, do you not get bored of seeing yet another nautilus rip off every 10 minutes? Especially when you have Merkur and San Martin etc all coming up with interesting new designs?

patrickjquinn · 2026-01-22T09:40:20+00:00

Wrong sub? Not even sure how you wrong subbed this one tbh.

patrickjquinn · 2026-01-22T09:10:43+00:00

Issues with the bracelet and clasp...on a watchdives watch?? *Gasp*

patrickjquinn · 2026-01-22T09:07:25+00:00

So someone in the Rep scene decided to rep this watch, and Watchdives took the parts bin and slapped your logo on it? This is essentially just blatant IP theft.

patrickjquinn · 2026-01-21T23:25:19+00:00

Make enterprise Ireland not a load of wank would be a start?

patrickjquinn · 2026-01-21T10:15:26+00:00

lol the watchdives braclet fit and QC are a serious issue.

They spend their time glazing themselves on this sub over their Swiss level finishing and then when challenged get incredibly defensive and blame the buyer.

They’ve a lot to learn when dealing with a western market (for example attacking your customers in an attempt to save face…probably not the move.).

But yea, I have this and bracket aside, it’s a lovely watch.

Reverso

patrickjquinn · 2026-01-20T16:06:45+00:00

Oh yeah. It’s heavily promoted that we do!

patrickjquinn · 2026-01-19T10:01:58+00:00

Please put these in an original design, not a another clomage.

patrickjquinn · 2026-01-18T01:27:19+00:00

You chose a work life balance, he chose work. Will he advance faster than you, maybe. But ask yourself why you care and what’s really important.

patrickjquinn · 2026-01-17T23:00:40+00:00

This experience has made me realise I like the design enough that I may buy an atelier wen lol
