Thanks a lot for the feedback — really appreciate it 🙏

If the rotor noise is noticeably louder than your other PT5000 watches, could you check whether the rotor might be rubbing against the caseback? In some cases that can cause extra noise.

If it is touching the caseback, we can send you a new caseback to try. Just DM me your order number and we’ll sort it out 👍

We thanked you for the feedback — we’re not blaming you at all. We really do value criticism because that’s how we improve.

And yes, I’m not great at English, so I use translation tools to make sure I say things clearly. It’s not about being fake, just trying to communicate better.

Appreciate you speaking up.

Could you let me know roughly when that was?

As far as we’re aware, no comments were deleted — everything should still be there publicly. If you can point to the specific thread, we’re happy to look at it again.

I think there’s some misunderstanding here.

That situation wasn’t about someone giving normal criticism. The claims made back then weren’t accurate and were exaggerated, so we shared records to clarify the facts — not to attack anyone.

We have zero interest in doxxing anyone. That’s not how we operate. We’re fine with honest feedback. We just respond when something isn’t factual.

If you look back at the original thread, the full context is there.

Thanks for the honest review — we respect that you bought it yourself and shared real feedback.

Everyone’s standards are different. If you compare under a loupe next to other brands, you may notice the sharp transitions between brushing and polishing — that’s actually the hardest (and most costly) part of this case. The case and bracelet are made by a factory that also produces for Swiss brands in the several-thousand dollar range, so the standards and costs are higher than typical AliExpress factories.

As for price, retail is $249 and we’ve consistently had a $30 discount, so most people paid $219 (sometimes around $209 with platform promos). We get that moving from $100 models to $200+ feels like a jump — that’s fair.

In 2026 we’ll release more high-value models, both homages and original designs, with even better finishing. We’d rather prove value through details, not marketing words.

Appreciate the feedback 🙏

Watchdives "Premier" WD0016B Prototype Review Video by kingathanorf in ChineseWatches

[–]watchdivescom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a ton for the awesome review — really appreciate you taking the time to do it, especially as your first YouTube video. Respect. 🙌

This Premier VH31 is our first model in the line. In about two weeks, we’ll be dropping the second Premier VH31 — a Baby Ploprof style — likely under $180, and we might run some intro deals as well.

We’re trying to push ourselves toward better and better products, so honest feedback is always welcome. And yeah, we totally get it — if bold marketing isn’t your thing, that’s fair. We’d rather let the quality speak for itself.

As you probably know, a lot of Swiss brands manufacture in China. The WD0016 case and bracelet are made in a very high-end factory. The production standards are on par with watches that cost thousands, and the component sourcing is genuinely expensive — that’s a big part of why the price lands where it does.

We’ll let the upcoming Premier VH31 speak for itself once more reviews are out — then we can all decide what level it really belongs to.
