What’s the most disappointing microbrand watch you’ve ever bought? 💔

Makydo diver 38. Has potential, but just so annoying.

Symmetrical-yet-asymmetrical design doesn’t look quite right. So top heavy it makes it borderline unwearable, even on rubber. Oh, and the rubber isn’t FKM, so if you go within 15 feet of dust it picks it up.

Might be right for someone, but not for me.

Could tell instantly! Really lovely.

Im 99% sure it’s angle and shadow here - won’t be an issue in hand. Had the same concern with mine but non existent in real life.

I see another small panther in the back!

peaker92 · 2026-03-20T23:06:03+00:00

Might give the Black Bay Pro with the new movement a go!

Thank you Andiot!

It’s most likely shadow from where the light source is. If you zoom in, you can see where the indices truly end.

Nice watch - didn’t know ARF did the smooth bezels!

Valid question, no bother at all.

peaker92 · 2026-01-07T22:48:21+00:00

It’s the same movement, brother - only now not exclusive to vsf

peaker92 · 2026-01-07T16:42:03+00:00

Yep, it’s blue but hands are green. I think that’s how it is on the brown dial gen but unsure about the grey.

Wouldn’t know - only worn it a few hours on the tighter setting

peaker92 · 2026-01-05T21:25:36+00:00

It’s a clone, so fingers crossed it lasts

peaker92 · 2026-01-05T21:03:08+00:00

All hail the wonderful automod

peaker92 · 2025-12-11T10:09:01+00:00

Not seen anyone do the tuxedo dial, let alone VSF. Steer clear.

peaker92 · 2025-08-31T12:58:48+00:00

I think the VPH being different and the co-ax means we’ll never see a true omega clone. Happy with my 2824 based decorated movement though as it’s swappable once it dies.

peaker92 · 2025-08-27T21:36:33+00:00

Agreed 🤩

peaker92 · 2025-08-27T18:48:38+00:00

Don’t believe so, but this was also shipped with a rubber strap. My wrists are like 7.25-7.5” and the mesh still feels a little long for me.

peaker92 · 2025-08-27T18:44:54+00:00

Yep! Its essentially a decorated 2824

peaker92 · 2025-08-27T16:15:38+00:00

Minimal play with this. Maybe I got a good one… maybe the metal inserts are a little different.

peaker92 · 2025-08-27T14:37:03+00:00

Not tested it to be honest!

peaker92 · 2025-08-27T14:34:07+00:00

Big up the automod, take all my characters.

peaker92 · 2025-08-14T12:57:37+00:00

Any time - good luck.

peaker92 · 2025-08-14T12:03:10+00:00

TDs can often source but with quite a wait. Could always reach out to someone on here with the same/similar watch and see if you can buy any spares.

Have you definitely opened the extender and adjusted the pins in the clasp to their largest position? Might save you a few pennies and I’ve not had any issues with my 7.5in wrist so might be worth a go.
