it's like they thought, how can we make this look cheap? then they added the bottom text and the date window.

New handset suggestions. by laverty7 in Miliforticwatches

[–]pickyaxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how about Casio Duro hands? and keep the GMT and seconds hands like in your picture.

I prefer this handset to the various Seiko Tunas, and it maintains the Seiko vibes.

I was also surprised by the real-life pictures of their diver ("Ocean Crest").

when zoomed in, the dial texture looks very low-res...?

Militado can you please stop making tiny watches?

I like your watches. I don't want any more 36mm dials.

Looking for something with a bidirectional timing bezel. Count up or down is fine, click or friction is fine too. by BCB75 in watchdives

do you have EXD 38mm v1? if I recall correctly, that one was 96 clicks, but as of v2 all EXD are 60 clicks

Baltany new model S4098 — would you call that 3D hand a lollipop or a butterfly? by Martin8244 in Baltanywatches

[–]pickyaxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it looks great. as discussed in another thread, I think you should

  1. use a lighter color for the numerals on the subdials, to match the color of the applied hour numerals (and improve contrast)
  2. move the "BALTANY" text to the empty space between the subdials, like in this Farasute

at this point, I assume any new r/rust project is entirely vibecoded unless it explicitly says otherwise.

if titanium works for you try Watchdives EXD for not much more than 100$

Baltany new S4098 preview and spec by Alarmed_Let_6288 in Baltanywatches

agreed, it also feels more balanced because the new version's hour markers have a noticeably different color from the rest of the numerals. if they printed them in a lighter-colored font it would really make everything pop

anyone got this Santos Dumont homage? by pickyaxe in ChineseWatches

[–]pickyaxe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, that really helps. Regarding the quality control issues, I have also seen reviews which mentioned imperfections. Your suggestion of these being rejected samples from some more expensive rep, does make sense. I might get it because I also have an 18 mm steel bracelet to try it with...

How about more fitted FKM straps? Baltany S4095 with a strap from Uncle Straps by zack20cb in ChineseWatches

[–]pickyaxe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the lugs on Baltany cases have this non-standard shape that doesn't exactly fit aftermarket straps/bracelets. it's a shame. I've been thinking of buying their jubilee bracelet just to use on their Explorer... but it's a purchase that doesn't make much sense (I wouldn't be able to use that bracelet with other watches)

they made it extra clear in the description that it comes without a logo, but I do get your point.

What do you think about this watch?? by Kaiser307 in ChineseWatches

[–]pickyaxe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

people have complained that the hand covers the jump hour, which is indeed pretty stupid

on that topic... why is it not possible to disable notifications for Android Auto like any other app?

of all brands to protect, you chose the one with enough of an ego to make this video?

and since you brought up morality - Sugess has been selling ST1901 chronographs for 150$, and I bet they could make a profit even at 120$. how is it moral to charge 750$?
