Hi Oleg, Great review. I bought the same watch. I was lucky I guess and don’t have the deficits on the watch face. However, my rotor from the movement became lose within 1 week. This was a simple fix as the case is easily unscrewed and the rotor could be screwed back on. I have been happy with the time of the watch and don’t think it has been off by more than a minute or so after a week. I think you could easily regulate the movement and it could resolve the issue. I have quite hairy wrists and don’t find it pulls on the hairs compared to my SKX jubilee bracelet. I did the water test on the watch face to test for Sapphire glass and it seems to be legit. I think the finish of the watch is very good for the money. However, I think as with most of these watches, it can be hit and miss with the quality. All the best, Ian
@24hourstime6 жыл бұрын
Thank you Ian! As you pointed out the quality control on these watches is poor. I think I just got unlucky with some things on mine. But to be honest most of them aren't that big of a deal. Of course, it's a review so I wanted to point out everything that I've noticed. I will most likely regulate the movement because +40 sec/day is too much. I also did the water drop test and it seems that the sapphire crystal is real. Even compared the results with other mineral and sapphire crystals. Overall impressive level of detail and the finishes on the watch. I am surprised that they were able to copy the original so well and still keep the price under $100. All the best, Oleg.

@@matiasechegoyen8555 Hi Matias, To be honest Matias, I don’t wear it often as I have many watches, see instagram.com/infinitewatchoptions/ . However, I wore it for most of the last 24 hours and it still runs well and keeps good time. I still think it looks great. The bracelet is fantastic. So unique to any other watch. I believe I bought it from the ‘Didun advanced store’ on Aliexpress. I don’t buy much on Aliexpress as again I have other watches. Aliexpress can be hit and miss. I bought a Patek Nautilus homage and its movement is completely crap and doesn’t keep time well. Probably worth a shot if you like the Royal Oak design and don’t want to fork out $20,000 USD. Next best alternative I would consider may be the D1 Milano. They looks great and quartz is super thin. They have sales sometimes so you may get 10-20%+ off. Best of luck with it. Ian

@alexmh61315 жыл бұрын
My main concern would be durability and actual life of the watch. Are these going to fall apart after a week or a month? Or will the movement break down if its dropped on the odd occasion? For the price it seems to be a very nice watch. I personally would never by an AP or an PP or a Hublot or anything like that unless I had millions in the bank and even then I would probably just go with a chemin des tourelles squelette by tissot and they are just over 1k sterling. So it seems to me if this watch is durable and wont break down with general usage of a wrist watch, it would be worth the money and some for it's beautiful design. I mean why pay £10 for M&S Beans when you can get them for 35p at tesco, even if the parts aren't the same, the watch is going to tell you the time and look good whilst doing it, no more than what the AP would do....

Nice review. I got mine last week and it looks awesome. The movement is not the same as yours, I don't know what it is but it is does not have the gold rotor. The watch has been on my wrist 4 days and it has 7 sec. off now, That is very good. I asked them today if they could provide another type of strap and yes they have a leather strap. I will order it and see how that works. Yes mine also jumped a bit when I was setting it but not much. I think the screws alignment you are mentioning is maybe because of the bezel not adjusted correctly when mounted. I have the same problem.

A review on this watch is a long time coming - I only have a written one on Reddit myself - so good job. Regulating this can be tricky, especially with how the beat error lever tends to move with the regulation lever. If you don't have a timegrapher, an app, or even the tg program for PC, it'll be a huge hassle. I regulated mine with tg, and had it average almost 0 sec/day worn and stored dial up in the box at night. However, it will still lose/gain a lot of seconds if it's stationary in one position, as these cheap, low quality movements do tend to be very imprecise.
@24hourstime6 жыл бұрын
Thank you, my friend! I appreciate your advice on regulating the watch. Unfortunately, I don't have a timegrapher but I have an app on my phone.

Sucks that the movement is imprecise when stationary but for $75 it's ok, I guess. All the best, Oleg.

LOL). Oh, and don't beat yourself over the head for having been stung with the MiyoDa movement. Sellers of the Didun on eBay almost got me by even more shamelessly marketing the watch with a MIYO-T-A movement in the item name/heading, then using Miyo-D-a in the (very fine) details. Extremely shifty. Your input on this has been invaluable. Thanks!

Good review! I grabbed one of these recently for a component of a 'fauxly trinity', and I like it for what it is: a one-for-one stylistic copy of the AP for around 0.25% of the price. I don't actually even like the Royal Oak that much. Enough to spend 75 bucks on a cheap copy? Sure. 25-30 grand on a real one, even if I had the disposable cash? Absolutely not. Mine is the chronograph version, but I'm pretty sure the chronograph dials and pushers are just for show and don't actually do anything. That was a slight disappointment, but at the price point I suppose it's not really worth complaining about.

Even with this when I msg the seller he wont admit saying it is sapphire. Well but for $55 with seiko mecaquartz mvt and overall finish it is worth it even without sapphire.

For $75, that's a nice watch. That said, they're just shy of $200 now. The expectations will be quite a bit more. You're in Chinese microbrand territory and there are some phenomenal watches in that price range.

Great review. Been on the fence about getting this one because of the size and the stigma with homage watches, but I think after watching this I am going to pass and use the $75 towards my next piece. Thanks!

The movement is unregulated. Thats Bad. I've bought an Invicta pro Diver and IT runs +6 seconds with dial facing up, and +2 seconds when i wear it. Shure, that's pretty good for that price, but 40 seconds is way to much.

Hello to Oleg & Bond! Thanks for a great & thorough review! I actually like this homage quite a bit, despite being a little too similar to the AP. My biggest pet peeve is having only 30m WR, as I prefer at least 50 meters. Plus, the Sea-gull st-6 is actually a pretty decent mvt, and can be regulated to be very accurate. Btw, I've had Seiko 5's off by 40 sec. as well. Finally, a decent finish & mvt, with a nice bracelet & sapphire crystal make it a good deal at that price point. Thanks!
@24hourstime6 жыл бұрын
Thank you, my friend. Yes, that 30m water resistance stings. I wish that number was higher. I might try to regulate the movement because 40+sec/day it too much. The watch is off almost 5 minutes in a week. The finishes, sapphire crystal and the decent movement make this a pretty attractive proposition. Al the best, Oleg and Bond.

Great follow up video and your comments at 14.10 says it all. A fine piece of modern engineering on (or off) your wrist for $75 is a no brainier in my book. I went for the quartz version (which was even cheaper) as my experience with cheap Chinese automatic movements is mixed to say the least. FYI my screws and battens line up and I don’t experience the minute hand problem you described. (Although it is a little sloppy). So maybe you were just a little unlucky - as I was with my Tevise purchase. Keep up the reviewing and a Woof woof to Bond. 🍖
@24hourstime6 жыл бұрын
Thank you, my friend. I forgot to mention that there is a quartz version available. In many ways it makes more sense to go with the quartz one, although the automatic movement isn't too bad. I think I got unlucky with some quality issues on mine. All the best, Oleg and Bond.
