Is this thread only for chinese watches or the watches made in china? Because those are two different categories, my casio is made in china.
>>18280851Every watch is made in China.
>>18280851this is for chink aliexpress watches

>>18280851>>18280855The only watches not made in China are ones with "made in America" somewhere on them, because that's the only "Made in [country]" tag that is actually honest

>>18280909Hey that looks noice anon, do you have a link?

Seiko is an honorary chink brand and you can't convince me otherwise.
>>18280934Thank you. It is indeed very beautiful and 39mm is a nice size but wew $300 is a lot more than I anticipated.>>18280959Show me the Seiko Aliexpress store RIGHT NOW
Was it really that bad?
>>18280959chink brands give you sapphire under 75 bucks tougheverbeit
>>18281236yes
>>18280959they may not be just honorary, as one of the most chink brands out there. they supply the NH/VK mov'ts, the powerhouse of alot of current chink watches including builds/mods. some of their 'limited editions' are also made in china, aside from the regular ones.>>18280885shinola source their cases, dials, hands, straps, some of their mov'ts, precious stones/gems, hardware from China. they're open about it.most microbrands have chink components in them since they are sourced from chink factories.
>>18280862the lume pic isn't from the militado
>>18281423My bad, I stand corrected.>>18281236It is an uncommon style choice but I can see it working.
Which is more important? Max lug-to-lug calculated by wrist width multiplied by 0.83 or max diameter calculated by wrist width multiplied by 0.7? Or is it both? For a sports watch, not a gay dress watch.
>>18281993nigga take your math to town
>>18281993There's no math equation for whether or not a watch will suit you. You have to try watches on to know. Watches with identical X and Y dimensions could feel totally different to wear because of thickness, the shape of the lugs, the size of the strap or bracelet, the weight of the watch, the shape of the sides and back of the case and the way they form to your wrist, and so on.
Anons, the rdunae rae03 is in and I really like it.I wrote a long post about it really enjoying my autism and like a colossal retard that I am, closed my browser.So here's the summary: The 34.5mm is exactly what I wanted. The raise and curved glass looks really cool. The strap is passable. Some edges could've been chambered better, but for 42€ I can overlook that. Backup phone sucks at pictures, so have a crappy one.It doesn't look too retro on me as I don't wear many shades of brown, but it does add something different to my look. I will put it in a box and store if for Christmas for myself so I don't consoom too much crap. I look forward to wearing it again.
>>18282262Omega has discontinued this watch, so my only option is to buy it online. The issue is that both the case diameter and the lug-to-lug measurement are 1.5mm larger than the maximum size I can comfortably wear. My wrist width is 53mm.
Which Sugess shitter do you suggest?
>>18283046Chronograph obviously if you still don't have a 1963
>>18283049I hate the font that they used.I don't know what its called but if I had to give it a name it would be "suburban chinese buffet"
>>18283046None of these are particularly my taste anon, though I'd say either 3 or 4 are the most interesting ones. But as always, buy and wear what you enjoy.
>>18283284There are options.
bampo from page 10What have you been wearing on your wrist lately anon?
>>18280885No fucking watch is MADE IN AMERICA since Waltham and the like.Everything is being assembled by negroes from chinese/philippino parts.
>>18286498If it says Made in AMerica, it was actually made 100% in america. Made in America is the only honest "Made in ___" that currently exists and has really strict requirements to use it that basically 100% of the item was created here. Otherwise you have to use "Assembled in America" or something like that. Meanwhile "Made in Switzerland" means fuck all
>>18280909Prostagma?
Can I get a QRD on building a watch from chink parts? What's good, what's not, and how to go about doing it?
>>18285367Straight oughta bundle deals.It was a 1.50€ Sanda. I removed the branding and it looks kinda cool.
>>18280909nice, I dig it>>18281236no issue if you can pull it off>>18282312nice size>>18287149>It was a 1.50€ Sanda.impressive
this hobby is shithow does this general keep going
>>18288999Nice trips upside-down satan>how does this general keep goingYou just bumped it
>>18288999It's jewelry for man.Honestly in 2024, just wear gold bracelet or chain instead of watch if you're into that kind of aesthetics.
wts my first chink watch on my local Craigslist but I'm only getting lowball offers.Watch is good and I like it. Maybe the bracelet is a little too loud but that's it. It's just that I tried other brands and styles and figured out a bit more what I like.Thanx for reading my blogpost
>>18289206Blogpost read. Maybe try ebay, some more knowledgeable buyers might be there, but otherwise you might have to take the depreciation and move on.>>18288996Nice to see you again anon -- Is that also a Sanda? Its really hard to tell.>>18288999raccoon_meme_life_is_trash.jpeg
>>18280855My Cedric Bellon watch disagrees
>>18289223greetings anon, yes it's a sanda (box is poedagar). skmei also has the exact non-steel bracelet model. the factories seem to be located in guangzhou, which also includes pagani/benyar.
