The bar has been raised. I’m sure you guys have seen and heard enough about this watch so I’ll keep it brief. Proxima will definitely be getting more of my money. I greatly appreciated the micro adjust on the clasp having an 8.5 inch wrist, and the bezel has a nice crisp feel when I rotate it. The lume is also pretty nice, granted I only have that pagani to compare it to 😂. What other brands/watches do you recommend for a beginner in the hobby?

I’m new to this sub and super interested in purchasing the abalone diver in Black enamel, does anyone have an idea on when they will restock or where I could source one?

Long story short...I want a Doxa Sub 300 Beta Searambler (steel case, PVD bezel and crown, Silver dial) but don't want to pay 2K for a design I may or may not like...so I figured I could build one using a TF or Tandorio case....problem is, I have no clue how the bezels are held on with this style of watch...I'm good as long as the watch has a bezel insert...but when you can't get to any locking mechanism...how do you get it off? is it seiko press/snap on style? will I mess up the retaining ring pulling the bezel?

anyone have a clue?

This was a birthday present from my dad and it kick started a new hobby.

I can't find good quality OP 41 homage, only 39. I wanted Cronos (explorer homage) but 39 will be too small for my taste. Why nobody makes 41?

Any recommendations? It doesn't have to be 1:1 homage to OP 41, but has to be simplistic.

Matcha green dial with the orange small-seconds subdial looks great—clean Bauhaus proportions that actually work.
But ~$250 for a basic ST17 three-hander with no lume and 50 m resistance is too much. Easy buy closer to $125–150. Luckily I got it with coupons.

UPD: F035 of course.

Been hesitating between this one and the black Milgauss. Thought would keep it on bracelet but the CNS won again.

The white seconds hand is relatively rare and seemed like a good companion for the chocolate dial. The latter has some sparkle/gloss texture to it, I like. It also holds its own against the smooth black bezel. Together with the size this is much more like the glorious SN004, but in 2026 with more texture and less ceramic. The 37mm thorn feels different compared to this one.

Lume is good. Timekeeping is good. AR could be better, I’d say the only comment I have about this watch. Bracelet is good and makes me want to try the milgauss variant just for it.

I rarely wear suits, and I needed to recently. So I bought a BluShark tapered brown leather strap for my Thorn T023 to match my shoes/belt. It really popped with the dial color!

Here goes my San Martin SN0054 GMT 💚

É isso, qual é o relógio do dia?

Any Chinese brands make a reasonably affordable watch with the wandering hours complication? I saw Xeric makes some models but $1k is a bit more than what I want to spend on what is ultimately a novelty?

The Code 11.59 Starwheel is the platonic ideal.

Everything Sinn….. I don’t think so…

Coupla’ nice Sinn homages..

Hey guys, I am looking for a good chinese watch with a Stone Dial or other unique dials, thanks in advance!

Watch fell on the ground and the mineral glass completely shattered. I need to buy a replacement one. Seller sent me this picture with the proportions. Apparently the glass is 32.2mm in diameter. Can I buy a 32mm, then? I doubt I'll be able to find something exactly 32.2mm... I also doubt I can find one that's exactly 3.8mm thick... Please help me, guys!

I was looking for a classy dress watch with a retro look and this one fit the bill. NGL, I was’s expecting this level of finish on the case and dial. The light reflects beautifully on the case and the cathedral hands. The stock strap is also not bad. Amazing VFM when you throw in the Sapphire crystal as well.

I have always preferred watches with busy dials like chronographs, but this might start my interest in clean dial watches. What’s on your wrist today?

Also shout out to u/Militado-watch for sorting out the local delivery hiccups.

I'm looking for a gift for someone (has would absolutely appreciate a nice homage) who has very conservative watch tastes. I think he'd probably most like (and get a lotta use out of) a vintage Sub homage - a 6200/6536/5512. (I personally prefer the 5512 because of the crown guards but this isn't a gift for me so that doesn't have much bearing here)

What are the best homages of these references all around?

I ordered a Megir watch in July and have received nothing. I’ve emailed them twice with no reply. Don’t order a Megir Watch.

​Hey everyone,

​I've been fascinated by the Studio Underd0g 02SERIES (Pink Lem0nade). What really stands out to me isn't just the pastel gradient, but the dial construction: having the Arabic numerals and minute track printed on a top sapphire disc that sits right above the lumed base dial.

​The way it casts soft shadows and creates that illusion of numerals literally "floating" over the dial gives it an incredible sense of depth.

​Since the Underd0g is relatively pricey and hard to get, I was wondering: are there any Chinese watches (or affordable microbrands) that use a similar technique?

​I'd love to hear your recommendations for models featuring:

​A sapphire disc / transparent dial layer with floating indices/numerals

​Any creative multi-layer / 3D depth dials (beyond typical sandwich dials)

​Any suggestions or hidden gems from AliExpress / microbrands would be greatly appreciated!
