The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

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.

Pleasure for a few euros

Inspiration, homage, copy, I won't get into this quarrel... but here is what pushed me to take the plunge on this model: to add or not a skeleton model to my collection, and this crucial question of course came during confinement. So what could be more natural than to test the skeleton "style" for a small price. My choice therefore fell on this model with a 43mm case for 13mm thickness, sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel. Transparent back and skeletonized oscillating weight as well. It kept all its promises for a budget in only two figures. The power reserve given for 3 days is around 60 hours and I tested the 10 ATM announced in the swimming pool, the screwed crown did the job well. It is robust and the oyster bracelet as well as the clasp are of quality. I enjoy wearing it on occasion and I find that it has its place in the variety of models in my collection. Finally to finish this allowed me to answer the initial question on skeleton or not skeleton, and well there won't be any others I think (of skeleton, because I then acquired a second Pagani... you can't change your ways!=

Artisans of Guangdong

GMT watch with a design strongly inspired by the Tudor Black Bay GMT, but a few details differentiate it, in particular the dimensions. 
The case is 39 mm wide with a 40 mm 24-hour bezel that protrudes slightly from the case, the case is brushed with a polished chamfer. Very good manufacturing quality, all alignments are perfect, no play at the bezel level, impressive quality of luminosity in the dark. Chinese Pearl GMT movement, with a drift of about ten seconds per day when the watch is worn. 
I really like this watch that I have been wearing often for 3 years, for me the points of difference with the Tudor are advantages.
