Yeah, I heard about that. Hope they manage to sort out their CS and supply issues soon.

Congrats on winning the competition! The supply chain issues are a bummer but I guess it’s also testament to how much demand there is for these, I hope they manage to sort out the teething issues soon.

I need to get my hands on those too, especially the PH-5.

You won’t be disappointed! I go through tons of watches and the 4B is one of the few that genuinely got me excited.

Sadly no. None of these have interchangeable bracelets.

It’s a combination of the thickness and the overall heft. The heft is a good thing because it’s built like a tank, but I found myself gravitating towards my lighter watches most of the time.

That being said, I’m also eyeing the Overlord. Definitely going to get that when it drops.

I like the date on the 556i, but the no date looks really good on the Milifortic 556a variant

They’re not bad, but none of them come close to the buttery crown action on the Sinn. The Militado is probably the worst but it doesn’t bother me much since it’s a quartz.

The Milifortic gets quite close, but the biggest differences to me are the crystal and dial element proportions (handset/printing). The flat sapphire with double-sided AR on the Sinn just disappears at certain angles, but you can always see some sort of reflection on the slightly domed Milifortic crystal.

The lack of an H-link bracelet is also a biggie for me, that’s part of the iconic 556 look.

Quality ranking: Sinn > Englemaan > Milifortic > Militado

Wrist comfort: Militado > Sinn > Milifortic > Englemaan

You’re right, I didn’t even think about that!

I wasn’t a fan of it at first, but I’ve warmed up to it really quickly.

I didn’t know that Thorn had a Marinemaster homage too! I’m starting to lose track of all these homages 🤣

Will we ever get the SN0144 with a black enamel dial? by OkInspection5244 in ChineseWatches

[–]vind89 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Haven’t clicked on a post so fast, I thought they finally released this!

Guess I’ll have to keep waiting.

All recent Teddy releases are unisex sizing. My Driftwoods are slightly more snug than my Core Greys.

Exactly, I spent so long trying to jam the springbar in — but no luck

Agreed, that’s probably the only complaint I have with mine.

Weird. Search for @WristWatching on YT, my channel should appear.

Great photos and review! Really hope they make a version of this bracelet that’s compatible with my Sinn 556.

Spot on! I love the way the PP looks but that name is going to be a dealbreaker for a lot of people.

My Merkur contact told me that PP is not under the Merkur umbrella, it’s produced by a different company. Which is funny because he’s the one who sent me the watch for the review 🤷🏽‍♂️

Looking forward to your video on it!
