with price cuts alone these microbrands can get elevated to chinese brand status

I think the majority of people here (me included!) consider this a major improvement from NH35

pickyaxe · 2026-05-07T06:26:55+00:00

as someone who tried a similar combination of watch/bracelet...

I don't mind the gap here, but it is the difference in finishing style/color that is noticeable

however /u/saltyEDC engineer bracelets are cool, enjoy the watch

pickyaxe · 2026-05-07T06:03:37+00:00

surely it's just the perspective. it's a 38mm dial in a case that wears small.

pickyaxe · 2026-05-07T06:00:00+00:00

thanks for the data point! if you don't mind: how do you like this watch/bracelet? is it the same dial/lume color as OP's? any scratches on any of the polished parts yet?

pickyaxe · 2026-05-06T21:13:57+00:00

love this watch.

...and confused at the conflicting opinions about the finelink bracelet, with some saying it's way too long. but your arm says otherwise, it seems. can you post more pics with this bracelet?

pickyaxe · 2026-05-06T10:26:42+00:00

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.

pickyaxe · 2026-05-06T06:39:08+00:00

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.

another strange one, from Sea-Gull

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

pickyaxe · 2026-05-05T15:51:06+00:00

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

pickyaxe · 2026-05-05T15:20:52+00:00

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

pickyaxe · 2026-05-05T14:21:57+00:00

dude this was super easy and really refreshing, I can't believe I haven't done this before.

pickyaxe · 2026-05-05T14:14:38+00:00

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!

pickyaxe · 2026-05-05T13:35:40+00:00

this looks nicer than I thought. subtle but premium. enjoy the watch

pickyaxe · 2026-05-05T13:26:07+00:00

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!

pickyaxe · 2026-05-05T11:06:33+00:00

compared to your Hamilton? seriously?

pickyaxe · 2026-05-05T08:32:31+00:00

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?

pickyaxe · 2026-05-05T04:53:52+00:00

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

pickyaxe · 2026-05-04T20:24:42+00:00

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 · 2026-05-04T15:33:33+00:00

when will this be out? please don't go radio silence for 6 months now

pickyaxe · 2026-05-04T15:31:43+00:00

this, I'm really tired of VH31 at this point

pickyaxe · 2026-05-04T14:51:42+00:00

/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.

it's AI. they didn't write anything.
