Where can you get a decent cheapie vintage sized +/- 36mm divers style watch with rotating bezel?

Too small for divers, the viz isn't that good at 30m+, especially with goggles / mask.

Consider a Luminox Navy Seal, my daily for well over a decade now. This watch has worked, sometimes quite hard. I bought it because I need something very light and tactical that I could read in pitch dark. The best part about it is the weight, at 95g it doesn't have much inertia when you land a punch, I have broken countless watch straps and strap mountings that way in the past. Affordable performance.

I've been looking at the Pagani Design Rolex homage watches (and some of their Omega homages as well) for a while now. Still have my doubts about buying something that looks exactly like a famous luxury watch. Might just get mugged for wearing a cheap Chinese watch. Imagine that!
But the quality is great for the price. Value for money for sure.

Is homage just a fancy way of saying knock off?
 
So bit the bullet and got the Oris on a bracelet. Ended up getting quite a big discount (17%) on the one i wanted, which I jumped at. Camera doesn't pick up the colour that well unfortunately, but it's the turquoise one. The bracelet is lovely too, but I think I need another link removed, and to play with the micro adjustments to get it to sit just right.

If its all they manufacture - yes. Thats why I dont like Pagani design. They basically just copy other watches.

With that said you get some brands that have a unique offering and might bring out a homage with their own twist. This is a good example: Original https://www.chrono24.be/magazine/hi...athoms-la-montre-de-plongee-dorigine-p_29021/

A black dial would’ve been great. Keen to see what the grey looks like in person
 
Did you know the most used time to show on a watch that's being displayed is 10:10 ( long hand short hand )
 
So I can it say that this brand was never really on my wishlist/radar, but this guy did a great job in making me very interested.

 
Does anyone know where I can get this screen either cleaned or replaced reasonably
The scratches are pretty deep..

Pulled the trigger on the new CW Sealander C63 GMT with the Dragonfly dial. Also really wanted an Oris Big Crown Pointer, but the one I liked didn't have red on the pointer, which put me off, even with a big discount offered. So the C63 it was, should arrive this week.

Might use the money "saved" by going for C63 over the Oris for a Alpinist SPB121, which should round out my collection for a few years. :whistling:
