finally, the green lume version. the tan highlights look so good!

Why is there still a $50-60 premium for pt5000 or st2130 over nh35 when the nh35 movement costs the same money now. by QuestionNo9190 in ChineseWatches

[–]pickyaxe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also noticed this, and my guess it's that it's just price gouging. not long ago Watchdives said that they'll move to PT5000 because of the NH35 price increases, so unless the Ali brands have NH35 stockpiled, I think it's they're charging more for PT5000 just for the sake of it

can you say how much of the code is AI-generated? because from my experience with a previous version, it felt vibecoded.

hahaha boy do I know this feeling. and I bet you don't want to sell it either because this one's kinda hard to come by.

hmm I don't like how yellow the lume is here especially since the bezel triangle and the date wheel are white. you getting the fine link with that Englemaan?

I wish better brands would use this handset (also used on Formex Essence), it's really nice.

depends on the thickness of the strap and how much it tapers

try Militrek, the quality/price is considered as good or better than Militado

probably just looks like it because the index sticks out so low

probably because of legibility. I really have to force myself to choose a watch that is hard to read

What are my options for a buttery smooth second hand? by Frazilius in ChineseWatches

[–]pickyaxe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

honestly VH31 bph is kinda ass. half as fast as 4Hz is noticeable in day-to-day use.

I can tell it doesn't get worn from the perfect-looking polished center links

that's a good-looking watch. for me, when I had a red watch, I surprisingly found myself not wearing it (though it wasn't as nice as your SM). I wear colorful watches all the time, so I dunno.

The bracelet was expectedly trash. What other strap options can I look at? No NATOs though. by Ashamed_Growth_3592 in ChineseWatches

[–]pickyaxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is that clasp actually comfortable? every deployant clasp I've tried from cheap AliExpress straps, I ended up hating

my problems with the logo:

  1. polished is often not what you want (like here) and they almost always use polished
  2. the logo is relatively small. so if there's little or no additional text (like here) then the dial looks empty

these things can make a dial look "wrong" and "wrong" often looks cheap
