The company says it is "9Dao". Thanks for the review.

Being an owner of the Tudor Pelagos 39, it's shocking how close the head of the watch resembles the original.

It’s not even about resemblance these days. I don’t feel the quality one pays for in the P39, or at least it felt cheap both times I got to experience it. It’s just unfinished on all the edges and quite uncomfortable against the skin. From what I’ve seen working in the industry, it’s scary how good the Chinese have gotten at beating the Swiss at their own game. Then again, Swatch Group produces most of their watch cases and bracelets in China, so there’s no lack of know-how

@@PocketUau that’s not my experience. In fact, it’s the opposite. Nothing is “unfinished” on my P39. It has chamfers on the bottom side of the case, something that amplifies comfort. The bracelet’s links are fully articulating. There’s space between each link and a full taper to assist with breathability and comfort. The t-fit clasp provides easy adjustment for weight fluctuations throughout the day and year. The bezel and crown action are only second to Rolex. Very accurate. Titanium is a point of contention for many. I have learned to like it. At 39mm, the titanium allows me to wear it all day in comfort without ‘wrist fatigue.’ I’ve grown to like the subdued, lowkey tone of the metal. I have a San Martin. Exceptionally finished. Nicely machined. Adeptly made ceramic insert, dial, and hands. It starts to fall apart with the crown action, lack of a clutch for the crown, bezel action, sharpness of the case, bracelet, and clasp, and the low rent, off-the-shelf, cheap Seiko movement. You don’t get tons of upgrades when buying into luxury anymore. China’s current offerings gives a man (or woman) all that he needs. However, you’re paying for a level of refinement, exclusivity, heritage, originality, and so on when getting into luxury offerings. One doesn’t need those things, but some of us opt for it simply because our coin allows us to.

Good video ✅ Welcome to the watch’s KZbin. I will review this one anytime soon. Looks good 👍

Thanks! Really helpful in deciding which Pelagos homage to pick. I guess I should wait a little longer before pushing the button - since none of the currently available versions from various brands are quite there yet. Idea for a future video - an affordable Aliexpress 5513 Milsub homage!

Glad I could help! Thanks for the suggestion, I will put that down on the list.

Good review.. I would like to know more about the clasp and some macro shots of the face and case finish and edges would be nice.

Have this watch too - after two Seestern Homages with quality problems (one was not waterproof, the other had a defective Seiko watch mechanism - luckily I could send them back). I agree: The Ixdao is okay, but not outstanding. Especially the lume was better on the Seestern watch. It's very bright at the beginning, but fades quite fast and isen't very good after a few night hours.

Please stop supporting this. Chinese slave labour rip off designs why not buy something from a microbrand that someone has put time and effort into. Not some Chinese photo copy

I can’t decide between this one or the seestern titanium ? Please help

Have you excluded the octopus, thorne and san Martin? I'm also thinking of pulling the trigger, but nine seem perfect.

I prefer IXDAO. I has a much better bracelet and is more true to the original specs

Funny you have a ghost date on your watch? There's no ghost date on mine. I checked with some other reviews of the watch and they mention that the watch comes with a modded PT5000 with no date and no ghost date. So it's really strange that you have a ghost date?

@SweetChinMusix Жыл бұрын

Sir is this watch sharp on the edges and on the crown which makes it unwearable? The discomfort you talked about is almost talked in every review

@watchcrave Жыл бұрын

Yes, the edges and lug tips are indeed a bit sharp, but the sharpness is similar to something like San Martin level, not the cheaper tier like Pagani. As for the discomfort, it's more because the watch sits almost too flat on my wrist, and could just be an incompatible form factor for my own wrist as mentioned.
