The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

This 39mm x 13mm tribute chronograph is made of high-quality stainless steel and features a quartz movement with a smooth second hand. The finishing is very decent. The dial has a lovely finish, with a pink that's neither too pale nor too pronounced.
A bit of pink hype for less than €90.
. The same model is available in pastel blue.

The pink you dream of when you sleep...

Why a real GADA? Because with a price of 55 euros and solid stainless steel, you're truly free to do what you want with your watch.
36mm by 11mm, VH31 quartz with a smooth second hand, quality bracelet and applied indexes.
It's comfortable to wear.
As for the flaws: it lacks some chamfering and a better consistency between the steels of the case and bracelet. But 55 euros!


A real GADA with a delicate dial.

The automatic mechanical version of this watch is just over 10 mm thick, which is why I chose the quartz version, with its 7 mm thickness, which gives it incredible class and comfort.
This tribute watch is almost flawless, at less than 1% of the price of the original.
The stainless steel is virtually scratchproof, the sapphire crystal is superb, and the dial is just as good.
The strap is just fine, but a standard size is easily interchangeable.
American class.

Fineness: the price of quartz.

A simple and functional tribute watch.
Finishing off those eight-hour shifts at the factory, I can go make my polo shirt without risking scratching my watch.
Stainless steel case, sapphire crystal, Swiss quartz movement more precise than a Tolex watch, basic leather strap with automatic springs.
A useful watch for those who will never be able to afford the original.

For the toothless who have class.

High-quality tribute watch with an impressive case and a solid bezel, with a pleasant, well-centered sound.
The watch exudes a sense of density that could be misleading to the blind.
I measured it at less than 5 seconds of lag per day regardless of position.
Automatic mechanical watch.



San Martin SN0017 with date on cyclops.

Automatic watch with a power reserve indicated by a small hand at 10 o'clock, small seconds, and sapphire crystal. The case is made of stainless steel and the strap is leather with a pin buckle. It measures approximately 40 mm by 11 mm.
This is an elegant bias-wound watch with an interesting complication for less than €75.
Remarkable.



Sea-Gull watch with dream power reserve.

VK63 Quartz Chronograph Watch. Stainless steel case. Sapphire crystal and intricate case. Hollow lugs. It measures approximately 40 mm by 13 mm.
It's quite heavy, even with its silicone strap.
It's a bit of a throwback, but it's a solid value.
Elegance and sportiness for less than €60.

An imposing case: Pagani YS008

The HX11 is a stainless steel (sapphire crystal) watch featuring a retrograde minute and jumping hour display on a quartz movement, all for less than €180.
Its 44 mm diameter allows it to fit a wrist larger than 18 cm, and its thickness is reasonable at 13 mm.
It's not a favorite watch for me, but I really wanted to try out these complications, and I'm satisfied.
Note that the finish is fully polished. So, I brushed the upper part of the case to give it a more discreet appearance. See photos.
Very good value for money.



A retrograde Sino-Scandinavian.

La marque&nbsp;Serica a &eacute;t&eacute; cr&eacute;&eacute;e en 2019 par J&eacute;r&ocirc;me Burget et 3 amis &agrave; Paris, en France. Le nom Serica vient d'une r&eacute;gion perdue au bout de l'Extr&ecirc;me-Orient que les Grecs et les Romains avaient baptis&eacute;e ainsi. Ce lieu fait &eacute;cho &agrave; la gen&egrave;se de la marque, qui vise &agrave; concevoir des montres m&eacute;caniques de qualit&eacute; au style n&eacute;or&eacute;tro, pr&ecirc;tes &agrave; vous suivre aux confins du monde.

L'une des particularit&eacute;s de cette marque est que son nom n'appara&icirc;t nulle part sur le cadran, afin de pousser le passionn&eacute; &agrave; acheter un design, des finitions et des proportions, et pas seulement un nom. En juillet 2023, Serica a lanc&eacute; la Serica 5303 COSC une version chronom&egrave;tre certifi&eacute;e par le Contr&ocirc;le Officiel Suisse des Chronom&egrave;tres.

Ces 4 chiffres, comme toutes les autres r&eacute;f&eacute;rences Serica, propose une symbolique issue du nombre d'or ou divines proportions dont le ratio entre la longeur et la largeur sont de 1,174... Une nouveaut&eacute; propos&eacute;e en pr&eacute;-commande &agrave; 1,490 &euro; pour une livraison pr&eacute;vue en Mars 2025...
<h2>Quel est le prix d'une montre Serica ?</h2>

(Mise &agrave; jour Novembre 2024)

The brand Serica was created in 2019 by J&eacute;r&ocirc;me Burget and 3 friends in Paris, France. The name Serica comes from a lost region at the end of the Far East that the Greeks and Romans named it like this. This place echoes the genesis of the brand, which aims to design quality mechanical watches in a neo-retro style, ready to follow you to the ends of the world.
The range includes watches such as the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/4512">Serica 4512</a>, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/5303">Serica 5303</a> and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/8315">Serica 8315</a>. One of the particularities of this brand is that its name does not appear anywhere on the dial, in order to encourage the enthusiast to buy a design, finishes and proportions, and not just a name. In July 2023, Serica launched the Serica 5303 COSC, a chronometer version certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute.
The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/6190">Serica 6190</a> surfing on the bases of the brand's first reference, the Serica 4512. This 6190 follows the stylistic codes of the brand, lyre lugs, a choice of different dials and the possibility of choosing the position of the crown at 3 o'clock or at &ldquo;Destro&rdquo; mode at 9 o&rsquo;clock. This Serica 6190 is powered with the Soprod M100 caliber COSC (Official Swiss Chronometer Certification) certified, like the current productions of the other 5303 and 8315 models.&nbsp;
Since November 21, 2024, Serica has been offering a very daring new collection... A dress watch off the beaten track called &ldquo;Parade&rdquo; under the reference 1174. These 4 figures, like all other Serica references, offer a symbolism derived from the golden number or divine proportions whose ratio between length and width is 1.174... A novelty offered for pre-order at &euro; 1,490 for one delivery planned for March 2025...
<h2 dir="ltr">How much does a Serica watch cost?</h2>
The prices of Serica watches change and differ depending on the model. Most cost between &euro; 990 and &euro; 1,890 depending on the models and finishes. The brand's GMT model, Serica 8315 GMT Chronometer costs &euro; 1,890 while the latest model launched by Serica, the reference&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/6190">6190</a> is offered to &euro; 990.
