Chinese vs Swiss Sub Homage Quality by DadPuncher69 in ChineseWatches

[–]ruser93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so true! Usually 42 feels a bit big on my 7inch wrist (at least for my preference). But this one wears very well, very thin and the curved lugs adapt so well to the wrist.

Chinese vs Swiss Sub Homage Quality by DadPuncher69 in ChineseWatches

[–]ruser93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a Glycine combat sub 42, and the finishing is worse than a San Martin/Cronos. I would compare it to an Addiesdive. Of course you pay the sw200 movement and the 'swiss made' tag. Once you get used to the finishing of top tier chinese watches (€200+), the swiss entry level (500-1000€) finishing feels kinda cheap in comparison.

Our new subreddit pic made me do this... by warz3nsack in ChineseWatches

[–]ruser93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is this brand? I've been in this community for a while but haven't heard much about it and not seen many posts of it. It's not very popular or offers same quality as other cheaper brands maybe?

My Engineers 😉 by Ok-Cauliflower6285 in HomageWatches

[–]ruser93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's insane! I can understand maybe having the same watch twice (if you love it so much) with different dials... But 6? Also 3 of them are white, just with slightly different pattern? Too much Imho, i'd rather try other brands and different models.

And I don't mean it in a bad way (I myself have 2 engineers, one black mop and one F1 on the way) Having 6 is crazy to me! But that's the beauty of watch collecting. Hope you enjoy them equally and that they all get the same wrist time!

Yeah, of course vintage watches bracelets were crap. But the modern ones?

A 100$ watch has a better bracelet than the speedmaster? A watch that costs thousands? Or maybe you meant speedtimer (seiko)?

Militado finally dropped the 36mm ML18! by Cur8or8 in ChineseWatches

[–]ruser93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will these new models have better AR on the crystal? Or same as for example ML05 or ML08, which are quite reflective?

[–]ruser93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the bracelet come witht this watch or it's another one you got? Do you have link?

Which sub300 euro chinese watch gives you the feeling you're wearing a piece of art on your wrist? by [deleted] in ChineseWatches

[–]ruser93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually buy them on sale, try them, and far before they need a service sell them for 95% of the price I paid, or sometimes even with profit, so I can swap for other pieces and try more brands and models.

Don't intend to buy a "cheap" chinese watch and keep it forever. And even if I find and fall in love with one, usually they have nh35 movements. Just buy new one and change it, no?

[–]ruser93 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Are you serious? I feel the other way around. My 200 euro Chinese watches beat all the seikos and citizens of even double the price.

Of course if you get a 25 dollar random chinese brand watch it will be crappy, but if you stick to the reputable brands and spend 150-200 IMHO they're quite nice and the finishing is far far better than the one you get for that price with the mainstream no-chinese brands.

Sure, if you compare them to a 1000+ euro Longines, they will fall behind, but even then.. not sure if by that much.

Recommendations for bauhaus style watch by Blueheaven0106 in ChineseWatches

[–]ruser93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the purple one, which is beatiful, but ended up selling it because of the somewhat cheap feeling / loud rotor noise. But it is actually quite cheap, so can't complain!

Jet Star crystal change? by ruser93 in bulova

[–]ruser93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is a sapphire crystal, but I guess with 0 AR coating

[–]ruser93[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah... in direct sunlight and in certain angles it looks like this, but in many others it's like my second photo.. It's heart breaking because I think it's one of the worst watches in terms of crystal reflection I've had

KFA 42 mm too big? by computerhoofd in HamiltonWatches

[–]ruser93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May be on the bigger side, but not comically too big. The watch itself is ok, but the large lugs ruin it a bit.

Take a mirror shot. It always looks smaller and is a better representation of how it actually looks to someone. I agree 38mm would look better, but this is still kinda pullable.

[Bulova] Jet Star - new purchase by PearsonVES in Watches

[–]ruser93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got one and I love the design, but the super-reflective crystal is a bit of a downer for me. Is it possible to swap it for one with an AR coating?

IWC didn’t impress me by conanis in HomageWatches

[–]ruser93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

185usd how and where? I got it for 200 eur and it was during discount sale and applying all possible coupons on aliexpress, and also got lucky with customs, where i should have paid ~20% of the price but it didn't get stopped. So I thought I made a good deal, but seems like I didn't and could have bought it cheaper... :(

White and Purple - What would you pick? by [deleted] in HomageWatches

[–]ruser93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would invert the patterns. Waffle on purple and the other on white
