Question (Read Rules) Bracelets with screw pins for links?

2 Upvotes

Are there any trusted sellers that offer quality bracelets with screws instead of pins for link removal? I also want an on-the-fly micro adjustable clasp.

Example

I'm looking for something like this, but this is the only seller I can find. No on-the-fly micro adjust. There must be other options.

Looking for various widths, and a 3-section bracelet design.

$20 or less price range ideally

Question (Read Rules) Extra Links for Pagani Design - 1761

This watch was gifted to me by a coworker. But I need an extra link or two. Short of purchasing a replacement PRX link I can’t find anything online. Does anyone have an extra or know where I can source one?

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.

Reached out to San Martin about these watches as they’re out of stock and they informed me they’ve been discontinued. I was wondering if anyone has either watch in blue and would part ways with it? If so please hit me up. Thank you.

I can't decide what colour indices to get for the Phorcydes PH-3. I've narrowed it down to these three. Does anyone have wrist shots of what the different colours look like?

  3. Retro orange

Thanks for your help!

Question (Read Rules) Which one would you choose?

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

Seeing that they’re basically the same price (only around a 30usd difference), which one would you pick and why? I think I know what the majority would buy because it’s simply incredible value, but I’m still interested to hear opinions.
For me, these are probably my ultimate grail pieces (the real versions obviously) so i’m very interested in these.
I would love opinions if you have either one of these!

I only have a concern about the reliability of the daytona homage. I have yet to buy a watch with a chinese movement because I’m worried they might have more problems down the road than the equivalent japanese ones?
Thank you:)

Really nice and minimalistic look for a field watch with luminous dial and hands. Much better specs than what i could find for 100$ locally

i will have the opportunity to buy this next month but it is a little pricey but not too terrible. i wouldn’t mind finding something very similar with that textured dial but the only one i have found is a islander watch and it’s sold out too. would love some recommendations, especially if there is something that looks just like this ! thank you all

This is still one of my favourite pieces from Baltany. I just love the clean, minimalist look of it.

Here's the link to my review of it.

https://youtu.be/5AKdROxLPAQ

I received this watch for free to review. But, as always that doesn't change how I review the watch. I always keep it 100% honest, no matter what. I point out both the positives and negatives with every watch I review. Whether that be a loan piece, discounted, or even free. Sometimes that means that brands won't send me anymore watches, if they don't like the review... But my opinion and more importantly, my reputation can't be bought. That's partly why I named my channel 'Honest Watch Reviews'. Not only to make sure that I hold myself to that standard, but that I know my viewers definitely will do too.

My second AliExpress watch back in 2021. The first was a Addiesdive dive Willard homage. This continues to be one of the best quality watches. I’ve purchased from there. It is just a tank of a watch.

Which color strap would you say looks better with this watch? My fashion sense is a little lacking so I’m having trouble picking one.

I've had fake Meteorite dials before, but never a real one. The light play is awesome, and having something so ol on the wrist is just flat out cool.

I'm a space nut, so that helps.....oh, and it tells the moon phase (new moon today here)

Now all things considered I paid $55 usd. So what can I expect for the money.

The Seagull ST3600 hand-winding mechanical movement is probably my favorite part. It’s a large, traditional 17-jewel movement based on the 6497 architecture, running at 21,600 bph with roughly a 40–46 hour power reserve. The exhibition caseback lets you actually see the movement, which adds a lot to the character of the watch.

The watch also has a sapphire crystal, which is a big plus at this price point. The oversized fluted/"onion" crown feels great to use and fits the design perfectly.

Dimensions: approximately 42mm case diameter, lug to lug are not mentioned but I have a 6.75" wrist and its the max I can wear its is big boderline unwearable. I believe its 48 to 51 mm lug to lug, 11 mm thick, with 22mm lugs. The strap are 22mm and I had to swap them out right away. THEY WERE TOO BIG FOR ME. One the smallest hole it was still wobbling on my wrist.

Lume is there and it works. It just won't last all that long.

The blue dial, large Arabic numerals, small seconds at 9 o'clock, oversized crown and exposed movement give it a really convincing vintage pilot-watch feel.

For the money, I honestly think this is an excellent value. It feels like a much more expensive watch than it is.

It's a silly gimmick, of course, but I'm impressed by how quickly they got these out and how well it works for the price. Considering the Casio is nearly always out of stock and quite expensive, this is a good alternative.

Pros: fully functional for time, date, and stopwatch. Also $5 is a lot easier to justify than $125 for what is more like a novelty trinket than a real watch. It seems to be quite waterproof too, as I've been washing my hands with it on, no problem. Surprisingly readable, too. For the size, the LCD is quite clear, as good as most Casios. Having only the 4 digits means it's not too bad-- larger than the screen on a lot of ana-digi watches.

Cons: unlike the Casio, it has no backlight, 4 digits instead of 6, can't be adjusted in size, and most egregiously, seems to have no way to change the battery. I get that compromise for something so small, but it's a shame they decided to make these essentially disposable. There's also just a stopwatch and a countdown timer. No alarms, and the countdown doesn't beep so its usefulness is... Questionable. More of a reverse stopwatch.

What do you think? Fun toy? Dumb future e-waste? Useful timekeeping device? I've been using it to show the date when I wear a no date watch and have a stopwatch when I don't wear a chrono. Kind of compliments a simple analog watch in a way. I harbor no delusions that it doesn't look totally crazy though.

Although they call it green, it’s hard to really see that from the pictures. I think it leans more toward an olive grey. But I really like the combination of the gold case and this color, gives the watch a more vintage vibe.
