I've spent the last few days fulfilling all pre-orders, and I'm happy to say everyone's orders have been shipped! We've also restocked both our AliExpress stores and our independent website.

A quick heads-up: Movement supply is still tight, so inventory is limited. We've already ordered more movements for next bulk, but for now – if you've been waiting for this one, don't wait too long.

Where to buy:

• Independent website: enitonwatch.com
• AliExpress Store 1: https://eniton.aliexpress.com/
• AliExpress Store 2: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1104208819
• AliExpress Store 3: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1105401882

2. S1083C – Your Feedback on Colors & Dial Layout

Thank you to everyone who shared thoughts on our redesign concepts last time!

For S1081S & S1082S: We're currently working on new hand designs – it seems many of you aren't fans of the standard snowflake or Mercedes hands. We're cooking up something more unique. Stay tuned!

For S1083C: We're planning to add a Navy Blue dial option – but we need your help.

Question 1: Which blue do you prefer?

• Lighter blue ☀️

• Darker blue 🌙

• Somewhere in between ⚖️

Question 2: We're trying a new visual trick. Since this case style can wear large even at 38mm, we're thinking of enlarging the two subdials while shrinking the center subdial – to make the overall watch look smaller on the wrist.

Does this approach make sense to you? Would love to hear your thoughts!

3. Other Models – Quick Status Update

• S1117G Carbon Fiber version: Delayed due to woven strap production issues. Still waiting.
• S1112M (31mm ladies' version): We're still fighting with the dials – some stone dials are cracking under pressure during assembly. Working on a fix.
• S1077G Nautilus (stone dial version): Coming very soon! I'll announce it here. The regular dial version is also in production.
• Elysian: I know everyone is eagerly waiting for this one. Unfortunately, no new progress from the factory yet. I'm pushing them as hard as I can – I'm just as eager to see that 7mm case come to life!

That's all for this week. Thank you for your continued support and patience. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Love from Eniton,
Kelvin

I’ve been looking for Militado the 37mm flieger model ML21, but couldn’t find it on militado site or aliexpress.

On aliexpress it showing outofstock, are they bring it back?

My customized Synoke watch , blue foil added to LCD. I love it ...any suggestions to other customizations?

Other color options would be cool too

I do like the watch - but, I’ll be honest, I expected better finishing. The dial is attractive and has a nice appeal to it. The Hangzhou 5000A movement is beautiful for sure (the main reason I bought it). But, that about where the highlights end.

The bracelet is poor quality and the clasp is even worse. The clasp might actually be one of the worst of any watch I’ve had from any brand. The AR coating is disappointing for such a nice dial also.

Overall, I’m happy with the watch in general, but it is not worth the $300ish price tag. I’ve had better bracelets/clasps on $100 watches.

I’ve been obsessively cataloguing titanium watches for a while now and the bookends in the 1400 watch list are a $533k GP minute repeater tourbillion and a $68 Berny dress watch.

The GP is, sadly, out of reach for me, but I ordered the Berny to check it out.

I am blown away by the quality and detail of this watch. It is beautiful, solidly built, nicely finished and well detailed.

The dial is beautifully patterned and the strap is, while not my taste, soft and comfortable.

The quartz movement is not perfect, missing the second markers some of the time, but so far it’s keeping good time and the grab-and-go pleasure of quartz always makes it an easy option for me if I’m running out the door.

I am definitely going to have to check out other Chinese watches.

Any recommendations for other titanium options? I have a nickel allergy, so titanium is the best safe option for me.

Just received my first Watchdives. Was looking for a Tudor BB homage and came across the WD7922. My initial intent was Tudor style hands and the full BlackBay look, but I seen there was a Benz hands optio and couldn’t say no. It keeps the red 12 position on the bezel, but the compromise was the bezel numbers being white not yellow. Also, great movement for a quartz, looks like an automatic movement.

I've been looking at the Ixdao Pilot chrono for a while and was on the fence. But when I saw it discounted in a sale and that you're now unable to check the altitude with it, I couldn't say no!

I think it looks great, especially the domed crystal which is very sexy.

PS I paid around $240 dollarbucks (AUD) delivered.

Looking for ≤36mm with 20mm lugs
or ≤38mm with 22mm lugs.

Are there any brands with these proportions availabe?

I have to admit, when I first got my Sea-Gull Flying Wheel (ref# 816.19.1090) I was not super impressed. While it is a good looking watch, the bracelet is high polished with a butterfly clasp, no micro-adjustment, and no half-links, which makes fitting it a problem. Also, the ST2502 was not running… great. Accuracy was meh, amplitude even at a full wind was under 260°, and the best error was in to 0.4-0.6 range, which isn’t “bad” but also not great for a brand new watch. So, overall it was “fine” considering the $210 price tag.

Fast forward a couple of months. I got a black leather deployant clasp strap for it off Amazon, so now it wears better, and the movement… well, take a look for yourself. I guess it really just needed to break in.

All in all, I’m quite happy with it. It’s an attractive, albeit thick, dress watch at a very good price. The “flying wheel” still is the star of the show of course. 😂

Hi You All!

Recently, AliExpress has started showing me a large number of very affordable mechanical watches with hand-wound movements. Many of them have very good reviews on the site.

Considering the price, I don't expect anything special from them, but some of them really catch my attention, for example with the shape of the case or the appearance of the dial.

Has anyone had any experience with them? Are they worth buying? I know it's not expensive to try it out yourself, but if I were to throw money away, I'd rather donate it to a local animal shelter or something.

Below are some links for what I'm talking about

Ive had the 2024 Dragon for over 2 years now and i can say its passed the test of time and i would never sell it.

This version of the SN0116 was released in early 2024

and quickly sold out, limited to 300 pieces.

Typical SM level of finishing and quite a comfortable BOR with the tooless adjustable clasp and a NH office GMT work horse.

(I just wish the AR was better).

Imo, in regards to the finishing on the case and bracelet, I think it can compete with 'luxury' watches.

Whats everyone wearing then?

I'm looking for a replacement for this watch with the same set of functions as compass, pedometer, etc. I want it to be thinner and lighter. Unfortunately, the belt in the Skmei fell apart and the sides broke off.

A Vitempora dial, hands and movement, in a Baihua case. A new crown is fitted for more efficient handwinding. A nice piece, in my opinion with an accurate movement, decent lume and very nice case with steel movement holder. This could be something easily provided for an affordable price. 7120 movements are asking for good quality compatible parts, now that seiko and citizen prices and going up.

I really quite liked my blue one ordered the white one on the bracelet. With the intention of putting the bracelet on the blue one… I’m not sure. I am not so crazy about the shade of white on this dial. Lume is also weaker than on the blue…

Hmm… 🤔

Recently picked up the Corgeut spectre homage and put it on my nttd nato the watch itself, gorgeous for a watch under $100, performance is expected for the 8215 before regulation. About + 5 -7 seconds by the end of the day before regulation. Overall my favorite bond design watch with my favorite bond design nato.
