where is the one with just the anchor ?

@Karbon74 may know more, iirc I couldn't find that anymore on hruodland's website or on Alix

It has disappeared indeed. Even when I bought it, I had a hard time to locate the listing at a reasonable price plus only the SS models where there

I regret somehow to have returned it. The case and bracelet were superb. But the dial and hands combo of that specific model I bought did not catch on with me

I just found this on AliExpress: 65,69€ | Untra Thin All Stainless Steel Sun Pattern Japan Movement Waterproof Men Quartz Watch With Original Logo

Seems to be a rep of D1Milano microbrand (which makes them in China anyway)

They were so cheap that I just could not resist. At worse I will return them if not nice

This Addiesdive was £30. I love it. The contrast date of a Mark XX but the 4 numeral of a Mark XI... The only thing I'd change is the hour hand for the Mark XI flattened shape and to be honest only a Mark VIII tribute to Mark XI* would take it off my wrist. It's my daily driver and boy do I beat it. 39mm case is fantastic. The power reserve is a little disappointing giving about 35 hours but it's always on so lasts a day off the wrist. The bracelet was surprisingly good, beautifully polished even on the sides. However of its price and a switch to a £3 leather strap has done the business.

*I learnt from my guitar habits I play with the shitters more than the expensive, pristine toys. So yup. Love it.

WOW
At less than 70€ a piece, these are absolutely fantastic




Those are reps so not technically eligible to be on this thread.

But as chinese watches go, I am super pleased. Priced as a shitter but absolutely U1 grade

I mean, I'm impressed and they make me think of the Maen watches, Manhattan in particular. Link please, gotta see for myself.
