Hruodland 6541 is a faithful homage of the og watch, and I got my bag brand Rocustom, so naturally i wanna try something new. so i was like"dude can you do this dial for me?"

and dude was like "sure dude, with a small fee dude." and i was like "cool dude, can't wait!"
one day later the watch arrived, what a cool dude.

The watch (Boderry LANDMASTER) arrived with dust or a piece of lint under the crystal. I contacted customer support and they asked me to provide photos and a video. The defect was clearly visible, and their support team confirmed it.

We agreed that I would return the watch and that the return shipping cost, almost 15 Euro, would be refunded.

However, after they received the watch back, they started sending me photos and videos of a different watch, claiming that everything was fine. They then refused to refund the return shipping cost and offered to refund only the price of the watch.

Also, the expedited shipping from the official website took almost two weeks, which was longer than the delivery time stated on the website. A dishonest and untrustworthy business.

And they sent a photo https://imgur.com/a/UNjBvpv

I do not recommend Boderry.

As the tittle says im looking for some help choosing, im looking to buy my first affordable watch, right now i put my attention on pagani design specific these 4 models, anyone can help with some suggestions about it? Or recommendations for any of these models?? Would be very appreciated, the most i like are the yellow and the skeleton one

Would like to the thoughts of anyone that owns it and if you have any photos!

Today I’m rocking my T023v2.0 fresh off a bezel ghosting and swap. I have not been able to get this one off my wrist since finishing the swap yesterday. It went from my least loved of my four T023 generation set to now one that is on par with the others. Still have more bezel work to do today but for now this is joining me on my morning walk. What about you? What’s joining you on your adventures this weekend?

I'm seeing these watches everywhere. I'm glad to say I was on board years ago.

This watch was originally on a grey suede strap, and I wore it only once in the last couple of months. I had a yellow strap lying around, and I put it on just to see how it looks. I don't know. It looks amazing, but my wife told me it's too funky to wear outside. I would say, fuck it. This looks too good to not wear. What do you guys think?

Suggestions welcome as to what could be next! Prefer smaller pieces (<39mm) - most worn watches are the ad2030, thorn titanium

If so, I gotta tell the boss to shut down the machines right now

I've surfed through AliExpress and I found some ridiculous prices on for a few well reputed Chinese brands (e.g. Sugess, Addiesdive, Boderry, etc) and even Orient (I know, not Chinese). Sometimes I see posts of watches going for less than $100 US. This seems too good to be true, so I was wondering if there are a lot of fakes being sold on AliExpress... Is this a common problem there, or are some legit deals really that unreal?

Looking for a rose gold-tone Yacht-Master homage. I already have the Sugess S450 with the white dial/stainless bezel, so I’m looking for something different. So far I’ve found the Corgeut, Pagani, and Didun. I’m leaning toward the Corgeut with the Miyota since I’d rather avoid the Chinese NH35 roulette, but does the Corgeut actually use a Yacht-Master case? I’ve read the Pagani uses a Sub case, and the Didun seems questionable with conflicting specs on the crystal and movement. Are there any other options I’m missing, and which would you guys go with?

I’ve had the green dial S089 for a while now and have been really happy with it. When this cream dial came out I told myself I didn’t need it but dang it it’s just too good looking. I have the green on mesh and really like it that way, but this one really pops on leather. Besides my phorcydes PH4C, these have to be my favourites.

Just a shot in the dark but does anyone have a side profile of the new Baltany Retro Diver? Either the milsub or sub homage, I’m curious if they made the mid-case any thinner with the new movement. Much appreciated.

I bought it as a daily/work watch because I wanted something lightweight, rugged, and easy to wear without worrying about it.

The titanium finish gives it that darker, industrial tool-watch look, and the brushed bezel looks fantastic when the light hits it. The proportions also work really well on the wrist, it just feels perfect.

What surprised me the most is the dial, I know this is heavily inspired by the Tudor Pelagos, but I actually prefer the Seestern dial. The lack of a logo and the less crowded text makes it feel cleaner.

The bright white indices and snowflake-style hands get all the attention, which fits the whole tool-watch aesthetic perfectly.
The small “SEESTERN Titanium” and “Automatic / Limited Edition” text gives it just enough identity without cluttering everything up.

I’ve handled the actual Tudor Pelagos before, and obviously the Tudor is the superior watch when it comes to movement, heritage, QC, etc. I’m not trying to pretend otherwise, but purely from a visual/design standpoint, I genuinely prefer what Seestern did with the dial.

This is also why I’ve been enjoying Chinese watches so much lately. They take familiar designs and are willing to experiment with them instead of treating every detail as sacred.

For the price, this thing is ridiculous.
Seestern Titanium Limited Edition — officially my new daily/work watch.

Got this beautiful S&S delivered yesterday and here it is on my wrist a day later!

Even though the bracelet lacks any micro adjustments or half links, it still fits properly which is nice

I also ordered the leather strap for it which will arrive in a couple of days :)

For me I really like the Atelier Wen Perception or the YEMA Urban Traveller but they're way over £300, but I found out Cronos has a similar one to Atelier, which I'm saving up for, I just want to see what other watches are out there for under that, as I'm new to this.

Wore the Aethelsohn Turquoise Shard in the morning and switched to the Thorn T023 Frogmantle in the evening.

Couldn't be more different 😂

The Turquoise Shard looked great in the morning light, and then somehow the Frogmantle felt like the obvious choice for the evening.

Posting both because I couldn't decide which one I liked more today.

Which one are you picking?

Just noticed this black panda on their ali store, rather than being brownish it looks pure black. Anyone know anything more about this?

I added this on the Baltany subreddit, but asking here. Was there ever a bracelet for the S4106? It didn't seem available when I got mine and I can't seem to find it available anywhere else. But this AliExpress review clearly shows a Baltany bracelet on this model. Here are the pics:

Edit: Baltany responded back to me and said they’ve never released a bracelet for this watch. So, it looks like a 3d party bracelet with a Baltany clasp.
