ML14 vs. ML05 (Cream Dials)

ML14 vs. ML05 (Cream Dials)

Which do you prefer? Both are mine, and noticed they aren't the same shade of cream. I think I like the ML14 looks wise slightly better, but the color of the ML05 color wise, slightly more.

ML14 on the left/ML05 (maybe ML07?) on the right. Amazon, where I purchased it, says it it is an ML05. Whichever is correct, go with that.

New ML08 “Murph” homage

Just received this yesterday. Initial impression 7/10, but I think that’s improving as I wear it today. At 38mm it’s a nice size, especially for a 6.5” wrist. The case and dial look nice with decent fit and finish for a $65 watch. However, the lume is weak, on par with a Pagani and not nearly as bright as my ML16. The weakest component is the bracelet. It’s jangly and has some sharp edges on its corners and underside. Nevertheless, it was a breeze to resize with a pin removal tool. And with five micro-adjustment holes, it’s easy to find a proper fit. I have many automatics, so the sweep-second hand quartz for that set-it-and-forget-it ease is a nice compromise. I have several VH31 watches (including my other Militados) and they have proven reliable. I’ll revise my rating to 8/10 at this point.

Could you please make a quartz version of ML-20

I love the ML-20 design. Please make a quartz version of it.

misaligned hour&minute hands, mildly annoying

is this supposed to be common, and should I worry about it? can it be fixed? lol
my first watch, that's why I'm asking 🫠

Mon verre de Militado ML07 s'est cassé tout seul

Salut, aujourd'hui en voulant mettre ma montre, elle était posé sur mon bureau, j'ai trouvé le verre explosé... C'est la version 36mm avec K1 glass. Avez vous déjà eu ce problème ?

ML14, New Addition to my Collection

Good day. Last of my 36mm arrived today. The MIlitado ML14. I've recently moved from having 41mm and 39mm watches as regulars, and I like the detail on this. Simple and functional. The supplied strap isn't bad. So it'll spend some time on the wrist. Apologies, but it was notoriously hard to get a true photo representation of how it looks. Closest I could achieve.

What's on your wrist this week?

VH31 availablity

Hello! I wanted to buy my first Militado watch and I decided to get ML05 with cream dial and VH31 movement specifically, but I noticed on Militado website that sometimes there are VH31 shortages so VH31 is then replaced with VH60. I asked Militado support via email and chat whether or not currently VH31 is available but after 24h+ - no answer. Does anybody know what's the current status for VH31 Militados? Thanks in advance!

ML07 Lume Mismatch

It looks like the hour and minute hands of my ML07 are using two different colors of lume.

It’s pretty slight, but once I noticed it, I couldn’t unsee it. I increased the contrast of the picture to highlight the difference.

Otherwise, it’s a really great little watch.

Ml1868 Ivory

Hi guys!
As a happy owner of a wonderful Miltado ML1868, is a variant possible with the vibes Ranger ivory hands and dial? (Even without a date)
It would be top, at least for my taste.
Here are two variants.

Militado ML23 Chronograph...

This watch has two things that separate it from most budget Chinese chronograph watches though.

Here's the link to the watch and my review.

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.

Combination of styles

I always liked the ML1868 and the look of its dial, but not a fan of chronographs. Also, I like this brown leather rally band. It's not a precise design, but this is my mock up of what I would like as a military style watch. Sort of a combo of many.

Black PVD ML20

Anyone have the black PVD Militado ML20? How is the pvd coating holding up?

u/mmarshall1974 — 6 days ago

My first, but won’t be my last

Really stumbled across this watch, so glad I pulled the trigger and got one…Just put on a marine national strap….

u/Seek100 — 8 days ago

What's the actual lume on the ML08 with dial?

Doesn't BGW9 have a white look, compared to the yellow-ish colour of the C3?
