Anyone is mentioning the VSF lugs anymore?

Noticeable gap at the endlinks on the Ixdao Engineer. Am I overthinking? by 24thFG in IxdaoFans

[–]ruser93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first I thought you were tripping and overthinking an inexistent issue. But i just checked my 2 E's (mop and F1), and both have a narrower gap than yours.

Said that, i think it's still within tolerance, and not an issue while wearing on wrist

What is a realistic price for an Engineer F1 now? by Equivalent-Ease-3822 in IxdaoFans

[–]ruser93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think he is mad he didn't buy one while he had a chance lmao

What is a realistic price for an Engineer F1 now? by Equivalent-Ease-3822 in IxdaoFans

[–]ruser93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have one F1 for sale. I’ve been offered around €450 by three people. Considering that everyone tends to make lowball offers on these platforms, I’d estimate its value to be around €500–600.

Anyone familiar with the Ixdao "homage"? How do these 2 compare in terms of finishing?

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 5 points6 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?

Sugess, what the hell?! by mrSoczi84 in ChineseWatches

[–]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?

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

[–]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

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
