The Best Homage Hydroconquest? - Guanqin 16155 Review

[@kennethg9277]

Looks like a fun watch; cheap, fairly decent quality, reliable movement,... a bit of fun is all you want a homage to be after all. Nice review.

Couldn't agree more

I have the Hydroconquest. It’s interesting to see a homage to it. Thanks Jason

[@brianmsahin]

It's very nice and a great price. I agree, I'm not mad on all polished cases, but for the price , polished is cheaper than brushed to do. The NH35 , boring as it is, is a reliable no nonsense movement. Excellent review Jason. 👏

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Thank you Brian! I appreciate it

[@willmarshall4685]

I have the blue and stainless. Great watch. It’s my everyday watch. I’m going to order it in all of the color variations. It just does everything well and is the perfect watch for someone like myself who loves the elegant office diver style.

I actually have one for review, just not got round to uploading the video yet. My only issue with the watch so far is that the bracelet was too big. Even took all the links out and still too big, shame really because it appears to be pretty good. Need to spend some more time with it though to find any other issues. Great review as always 👍

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Mine was just the right fit, luckily enough! I get what you mean though. Thanks man

[@michaelj8793]

Thanks for the speedy review from the unboxing I think it's pretty hard to beat for the price I might actually go for it and if it doesn't work out on the bracelet I've got plenty of straps and bracelets I could try on it I'll let you know how it works out Thanks my friend 👍

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Definitely has the potential to pull off a few strap looks to be fair! Hope you enjoy it if you pull the trigger

Great review as usual, Jason. I've actually no idea what the model this is homaging looks like, but I really love that grey sunburst dial and the big 12, 6 and 9 numerals. Personally not a fan of two tone/gold/rose gold stuff but that's just subjective. I always like when the lume colours differs between the dial and the bezel. Totally unecessary of course, but a nice little touch. Bit of a shame they didn't manage to balance it properly though (like i.e SteelDive would). The size is great (with female end links as a bonus), looks great on your wrist which is quite similar to mine. As someone commented, micro adjusts would be more practiacal than dive extension. This watch is not flawless, but for this money I'd say a very good value for a good looking watch with good specs. IMHO. I bet this would look great as well with various straps.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Have a look at Longines Hydroconquest, absolutely amazing watches and that is what this takes from

[@briancolyer8483]

It's a braw looking watch....the price, fantastic....it's a solid offering....you hit the nail on the head with this one....I would add one more suggestion, ditch the dive extension in favour for micro adj....🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

You're on point, I like the dive extension but you really do need micro adjustments

[@richardclark5187]

It's nice to see something other than another Sub Homage. Good Review. I Agree, that the Grey/Rosegold is a really good Color Combination.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Yes! Guanqin really do go outside the box for their homages

[@xxraverxxonxtacy]

Thanks for this review Jason, I did see Pagani Design has one in the new arrivals section and hopefully you review it and compare to this one.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

I'll have to have a look for that, must have missed it! Thank you

[@kiwilonewolf]

I bought the blue version in the sale and it arrived yesterday. It's already my favourite Aliexpress watch! However with no microadjust or half links I can't get the bracelet to fit properly, so I've put it on a blue leather strap while I wait for a silicone one to arrive.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

That is a major downside, microadjusts are really a must

[@markwilliams6226]

Hi which strap did you buy? Cheers

[@-Dash-]

Would like to see more colourways in steel only, without gold...

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Yeh, a few people have said the same, obviously this is a very distinct taste

[@jeremynorbury]

I see there's what looks like a new one from Bliger - orange text. Have you reviewed that one?

[@kentan8536]

Yeah ur right, judging by the item they have deliver, they have much potential but are not using them for their advantage. May be watch reviewer such as yourself could give them a push they needed. Advising them, especially on spellings etc (not like some youtube channel down under keep kicking them for fun). Thanks for the clear review.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

I'd be happy to help any brand that asks. Least I can do for the support they show me

[@tofu3802]

Nice watch Jason.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Couldn't agree more

[@ladonnabrady1116]

what is the name of your watches on your wrist

[@rattenpaule4896]

Not the same watch like in the Pictures from Guanquin ! The pip is standing high ( Pictures show it flat ! ) and the sides near the crown are polished ( pictures show it brushed ) and some other little nicks...

[@acadamenorth]

Does it Wear pretty big for a 39mm? It looks bigger then that

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Yes, definitely feels more like a 40mm to me

[@acadamenorth]

@@JasonTheWatchGuy do you know how it compares to the Phylida homage?

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Havent had the phylida so I couldn't really say

[@seumasrouse8590]

Thanks Jason, pretty good watch for the price, the niggles are quite minor I certainly wouldn't kick it out of bed for farting 😜👍

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Same here...I'd put it on display if it managed to fart

[@davidbarbour5153]

Is this the brown version or Ivory ?

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Grey I believe

[@davidbarbour5153]

@@JasonTheWatchGuy I looked and there isnt a grey option ?

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Trendy mens watch store have it down as Pink for some reason
