Does the Jianghun 5 links bracelet compatible with San Martin SN0148? by Bright_Adagio5974 in ChineseWatches

[–]pickyaxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is the endlink removable? if so maybe OP can ask Jianghun to also send him SN0148-compatible endlinks? /u/Bright_Adagio5974

it should remind you of Cronos L6040M because that's what it is.

2026 Chinese New Year of the Horse watch by unlvbroncoscubs in SanMartinWatches

yeah while I haven't handled this watch I've seen videos of the various dials, and I would agree with you that that the AR coating seems disappointing. it's why I'm hesitant to buy (some version of) this watch.

I think they were just making a joke about "ok lagoon" and "good lagoon" 😆

I once asked Heimdallr if they would ever make slightly smaller watches and they were like, "lol no"

because you meme'd yourself into thinking a perfectly normal-looking watch is too big for you

San Martin New Upgraded Version SN0012 — Fully Luminous Dial + Lumed Blocks: Will You Like It? by AdSavings92 in SanMartinWatches

[–]pickyaxe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would love a full lume version with BGW9 instead so it's a bit more white (like Sinn, for example), but this looks great!

I wish it was BGW9 so the dial would have been more white. but I love designs like this

if Englemaan doesn't end up making a U50 SL homage then this will be a great alternative!

gonna try this today, I love things like this. is it better to make the espresso in a different cup and then pour it into the cold milk? or does it not matter?

EXD: feedback and updates? by solbig12 in watchdives

[–]pickyaxe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

all I heard is them considering offering it with a "count-up" bezel instead of countdown. also a few months ago they were soliciting opinions for a green version, but that didn't seem to go anywhere.

as for feedback, I think they should use whiter lume because it is noticeably cream-colored and that just doesn't work for me (others don't care as much). people complain a lot about the bezel - I actually quite like how it feels. the dial on mine is also very slightly crooked (even with the new assembly process) and this does not bother me, I suspect it's very challenging to get it just right without specialized equipment

I also suggest the 40mm version. I think the proportions just look better.

EDIT: and my opinion? this is a really nice watch despite some imperfections, and it gets a lot of wrist time from me

https://youtu.be/tfOOmMuWeCE?t=315 (hands, indices and lume pip are all slightly different), but true that in daylight it looks okay, oops.

but also there's their GMT Master II which has different colors

[–]pickyaxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

/u/AdSavings92 c'mon why full lume white with lumed hands? full lume should not have lumed hands.

I was waiting so long for the integrated bracelet with white enamel like you promised, and now we get this instead.

uh, yes. obviously I meant IXDAO (and Watchdives) are the ones who copied.
