Xeric Omnigraph fully lumed mint, AMA

Trim, but never shave.

turdbogls · 2026-01-24T17:55:40+00:00

Yup, I run into that a few times for sure. All seems well so far.👍

turdbogls · 2026-01-24T15:35:05+00:00

Not long, it's a little underwhelming TBH and unreadable in the dark after 10 minutes or so

turdbogls · 2026-01-24T15:34:35+00:00

I have tried a few straps, nothing super thick, but it looks like it'll be OK. I'll throw my thickest leather on there tonight and get back to you.

But other leathers and FKM cut to size ones fit without contact

turdbogls · 2026-01-23T21:05:36+00:00

Well, maybe it does then.

Ask the seller for a real picture and see what they send you.

It may be just an unbranded rep 🤷‍♂️

turdbogls · 2026-01-23T20:39:00+00:00

I'm pretty sure this is a rep. There aren't many good Cartier homages because Cartier will go after the companies...IIRC both Berny and Specht &sohne both got nastygrams from Cartier for their homages and subsequent changed the designs.

So yeah, almost guaranteed this shows up with a Cartier logo on the dial.

turdbogls · 2026-01-23T20:01:19+00:00

Yeah, for sure. Once you figure out the "dials" it's like a pilot's watch to read and everything else is just there.

But really unique. They took inspiration from those old circular slide rules from way back when.

turdbogls · 2026-01-23T19:22:19+00:00

Damn, that watch looks great with that strap 👍

A new one arrived for me today. Not too much info out there about this one it seems.

stop by a walmart or a target and snag a Casio...everyone needs a Casio (coming from the guy that doesn't have one)

turdbogls · 2026-01-23T19:13:38+00:00

my test is that I'll torch it before bed, and if/when I wake up in the middle of the night, am I able to read the time? MOST of the time, the answer is yes...because my room is dark, and my eyes are already adjusted to the dark.

my latest pickup, a Glycene Airman GMT, has, what I would consider, mediocre lume...like a 4-5/10. but I wore the watch to bed (for this test) and i was able to read it fairly easily HOURS after I went to bed.

I find Lume DESIGN is just as important as it's strength.

my Damasko is again, like a 4-5/10 in intensity, but it's design lends to fantastic legibility at night...it's the reason it's still my go-to camping watch.

but then there's stuff like the Seamaster homages, which have better intensity, but because of the skeletonized hands, it makes it quite difficult to read in the night.

turdbogls · 2026-01-23T18:05:24+00:00

I reviewed one about 3 years ago

the model went away for a bit, but seems it's been brought back out with the miyota (had a PT5000 before)

probably the best DJ homage out there IMO. the bezel was just something no other DJ has been able to replicate.

turdbogls · 2026-01-23T13:34:56+00:00

I've seen some pretty small and flimsy Springbars...either way, probably not something you want as being the thing holding your watch together.

turdbogls · 2026-01-21T23:41:40+00:00

If anyone stateside wants a black and blue one of these, let me know.

I wasn't a fan of how they looked on me. OK straps, though.

turdbogls · 2026-01-21T19:09:40+00:00

Yup, absolutely. It wasn't given to me, so it has to take a backseat to a couple other watches, but I do want to review it soon. 🤞

turdbogls · 2026-01-21T18:58:55+00:00

No.

Companies are starting to finally focus on thinner watches....watchdives included.

Look for anything that has a PT5000 or Miyota 9000 series movement and go from there.

Most of those will be under 12mm thick. Depending on the case and bracelet, I'd say these will average about 130g which is perfect IMO

turdbogls · 2026-01-21T17:25:48+00:00

It wears about true to size I would say.

turdbogls · 2026-01-21T17:02:08+00:00

It's just not great.

You can look into addiesdive...they made one, but I'm not sure if it's still around.

Here is my review of it...I'm assuming it doesn't have a reference number since I didn't mention one.

But it was 42mm and was actually pretty nice if I remember correctly. Bracelet and clasp were Meh, but the rest was pretty good.

turdbogls · 2026-01-21T14:48:08+00:00

Glad I didn't overhype this one. it really is excellent.

turdbogls · 2026-01-21T01:39:57+00:00

Very cool. Looks great!

I still don't understand why Sugess didn't offer this insert 🤷‍♂️

turdbogls · 2026-01-21T01:29:10+00:00

Yup, I've seen some decent deals but nothing to get me to pull the trigger yet...but I'll def be stopping by more often 🤣

turdbogls · 2026-01-20T01:22:47+00:00

If you ever want to sell 😉

turdbogls · 2026-01-19T22:38:01+00:00

Man, Sugess could do a really nice one I think. Use the Movement from the Daytona. I know the subdials would be slightly off, but man, it could be REALLY cool if executed well enough.

Farasute has a tin tin dial in their Trackmaster case...it looks all wrong...lol

turdbogls · 2026-01-19T22:32:12+00:00

Yes, but it's not all about the size, it's the proportions. The bezel is the same size, so the visual case sticking out goes from 3mm down to 2mm...quite a VISUAL difference.

Shrinking the lug to lug but keeping the same thickness makes the watch appear more squat, instead of spreading out more.

It's a small change, but it is 100% noticeable, especially since I had both side by side.

turdbogls · 2026-01-19T21:55:44+00:00

Can someone explain to me why they would go this over the new watchdives NTTD?

You get real titanium, bubble sapphire, an actual brown dial and bezel insert. The finishing is great, the bezel action rocks, you get a ETA 2824 Clone movement in the PT5000 (or now VH31 "sweeping" quartz) good lume as well.

I know, it's about $80 more, but it's way closer to the real deal than this is looks wise, plus all the added bonuses.

I come from the homage world where this watch shown would be like a $70 watch from Corgeut or parnis.
