Hello guys.

I would like to ask if anyone make a moonswatch mod using watchdives watches , or any watch in principle.

Share what you made😄

I think it is first automatic watch from Watchdives

Using SeaGull ST2130, one of the most reliable chinese automatic movements.

Combined with sapphire crystal, ceramic bezel and very interesting color combinations.

I think it is well put together edpecislly when considering the price.

for details

Just received newsletter about no-date version of the Boderry Voyager S72.

Is it only me or this creme dial looks lovely?😅

It is 72-hours power reserve no date version of their classic field watch lineup. I believe it is Hangzhou movement, correct me if I am wrong.

Like, 3 full days....😅

As always full titanium case + full titanium bracelet.

Sapphire crystal.

40mm case diametr

12mm case thickness

And that insane 49mm lug-to-lug🤣

Boderry, if you are reading, pleaseeee, can you reduce the lug2lug?😅

Movement: Cal.HZ8240

3 different dial option is available, I did not share the smurf version, just hate it😅

Btw, what do you think about fully lumed dials?

Creme dial

Honeycomb dial

I have been a titanium fan for a while, but recently bronze is catching my attention. I heard a lot about the patina, getting old with the owner, and so on about bronze. But I have never seen one on hand.

The bronze version looks so steampunk and really vibes. That uniqueness, combined with the distinct lug shapes and the raw CuSn8 material, gives it a ton of character. Boderry offers their Voyager model in two distinct flavors. To not sugarcoat it, budget field watches often come with stiff, basic factory straps, so you should probably factor a NATO or leather swap into your budget. Bronze one might come with black patches. That is natural air oxidation and a known characteristic of CuSn8, not a defect. Getting a solid Titanium ($139) or CuSn8 Bronze ($169) case with a workhorse Seiko NH35 automatic movement at this price bracket is highly competitive.

Shared Specs

• Case Diameter: 40mm
• Lug to lug: 48mm
• Thickness: 12mm
• Lug width: 22mm
• Glass: Sapphire Crystal
• Movement: Seiko NH35 (Automatic, hacking, self-winding, calendar display)
• Water Resistance: 100m (10ATM)

The Differences

• Voyager A11B-03 (Bronze): $169. Weighs 99g. Ships on a 2.0mm thick leather strap. Made of CuSn8 Bronze, meaning it will develop a unique, heavy patina over time.
• Voyager A11T-02 (Titanium): $139. Weighs only 74g. Ships on a 2.0mm thick nylon strap. Made of sandblasted solid titanium for a sterile, incredibly lightweight, and corrosion-resistant wear. Uses Swiss Super-LumiNova C3. Do any of you have a bronze watch? How has your experience been so far with the patina process? For a daily wearer, would you recommend I jump into bronze or stick to the safe titanium?

I think I found one of the most unique watches on the whole AliExpress.

Look at this. I have been looking for a rectangular, angular masculine watch that will fit on my wrist nicely. And here I found it under the 150 euros. To not sugarcoat it, budget AliExpress watches often cut corners on factory straps, but the case geometry and 3D dial design are genuinely striking for this price bracket. It is powered by a sweeping quartz movement, which gives you the smooth second hand of an automatic with the reliability of quartz.

Specs:

Case Diameter: 36.5mm, awesome for rectangular watches Lug to lug: 43mm, again, will fit any wrist Thickness: 11mm, claimed, cant judge from the images Lug width: 20mm, perfect for some after-purchase fun and styling Weight: not mentioned, but I expect it to be very lightweight due to the movement and strap choice Case Material: Stainless steel 316L, brushed, industrial. Strap Material: webpage claims leather, but it seems to be only Rubber FKM rubber with deployant clasp Glass: Sapphire Crystal, curved, and faceted, yes, at the same time. Luminous: Yes but not sure about the longevity Movement: Japan VH31 Quartz Movement, a budget classic. Crown: Screwed, claimed.

Water Resistance: 50m (5ATM), enough but I would love to see 100 meters, i suppose it is best suited to be a sports watch.

Any of you have this? Could not really find detailed reviews.

What is your experience? Any experience with the brand customer service? Would you buy this? Do you think they should make this automatic?

Oh boys, I just saw the new dial version from Watchdives.

Might be the best champagne dial yet😍

And with the discount it is under 150 bucks.

What do you think guys? Did they deliver?

Anybidy has other version of this? Any feedback?

Recently Berny is getting my attention. Especially with their rectangular an ceramic watches.

What do you think about Berny guys?

Any experience with their watches? Customer support?

Especially ceramic watches? How are they?
