Chinese brands that scratch the "itch"

[Feefo]

Love a Type 20. If I had to get any kind of gen chrono it would be a Type 20 inspired chrono flyback. 3 and a half grand is relatively steep (I'm spoiled by replicas)

How much is the Sugess? There's also cheap options to just try it out, albeit quartz. But for 150-ish they could scratch the itch.

The Sugess with an ST19 is so much better than quartz. And many of the Sugess can be had for under $150 at the end of the day especially during sales on AliX.

I know Sugess' overall quality is way better. Baltany has some interesting homages nobody makes. I'm a big dirty dozen fan, not much around.

Baltany's Oyster Case 1926 Rolex homage is basically one of the best I've seen. And agreed they make some really nice watches. I semi regret getting an IWC 3777 ZF when I could have gotten their Mecaquartz tricompax 39mm, which has the same vibe, but is thinner, smaller, and mecaquartz instead of a unreliable A7750.

How about Atelier Wen? Would you say it's the best chinese brand at $3600 ?

Dont own one so best ask aHero for his opinion. In my eyes it's really pretty but I'm not a integrated bracelet guy right now. Also i think it uses a Miyota series.

I mean.... i can't argue with the macro. SM looks better than Rolex in some of these shots.

I curious about dial diameter on the SM because I have considered them as a base for a franken build.

Anyone heard of Lucky Harvey?
They just launched, gill dial, striking hour "chime" with big date. The name Lucky Harvey is abit off putting. For a $1000usd retail what a watch.

Is this for real?

They call is STRIKING watch.....
and they copied AW when AW copied VC222?

 

[Cheesegrater]

Damn, they ARE real.... a chinese company that copied a lot of other companies like Chaykin, AW, VC, JAcob....

That's off putting.

But if they make the minions watch though.....

Atelier Wen is like 3K usd

This is 1k only with all the complications but with funny name wish they had brand it LH instead Lucky Harvey

If companies were smart, they'd offer a sterile dial version.

Don't think it's super worth it for one. Better to get a Clean base or even a V6F or one of the cheaper ZF subs for it. The cases are beautifully done but not "gen spec".
