No Comments on Borman World Time Rose Gold Watch Review

I was really shocked by this timepiece when I was making a searching online about good quality designer watches made in China. I thought it is a German brand because of its complications dial and sophisticated craftsmanship, however, after reading the introduction on its website and checking wathces’ prices, I am sure that Borman is a Chinese brand. Borman, I am glad the brand has chosen such a nice name, like the name of a pilot coming from Germany. I checked all watches produced by Borman yesterday and found they are all dress watches, there are no sports models or diver’s watches from Borman, they are doing one specific thing, also a great project, although the watch quality is not as solid as A.Lange or Glashutte from Germany, but Borman really deserves more attention from us.

The case is crafted with solid 316L stainless steel, its diameter is up to 40mm and thickness is about 12mm, this is a very popular case size for most dress watches, by the way, the case is not thick, I like it, some of watches like this made in China are too thick when being integrated with several functions. The fluted pumpkin-shaped crown is easy for the wearer to rotate to adjust time and date, the crown has a glossy high-polished “BORMAN” lettering on a sanded background. By the way, the lug width is 21mm, it is strange that Borman does not use rose gold on case back rim.

The coffee dial breaks through the design traditions of most Chinese watches, it has the aesthetics of mechanical watches made in Germany. Whether the GMT, Moon Phase indicator or week display, they are greatly different from the Chinese watches you usually see. The small dial at 12 o’clock is a world time display that has a true GMT function, but you need to adjust it manually by push the button on the case at 2 o’clock. For example, when you in New York, the main dial tells you local time, but you can adjust the GMT hand to the hour time of another city at the same time. The semicircular indicator at 6 o’clock shows you day and night through the rotating sun and moon disc, it is a false moon phase indicator, it will rotate every 24 hours. The week is displayed at 9 o’clock from “MO” to “SU” alternately. The date window features a black date font in white background. The most interesting thing I found on the dial is its central seconds hand, it is very small, just on the axis of the hand set. The button on the case at 4 o’clock is pressed to adjust the week display.

The watch features an exhibition-style case back that is fixed by eight screws. Behind the central crystal, there is golden movement inside that has beautiful finish on the auto rotor and movement plates. The movement is claimed by Borman with 48-hour power reserve, I do not think so, it is just a very common automatic movement from China, 38-hour power reserve I think, but I still suggest you wind it every night before going to bed to keep a more accurate timing. The watch is equipped with a brown leather band, which is fitted with a deployant clasp that also has beautiful fish-scale patterns like the movement. I like the Borman watch very much, I want to keep it on my wrist every day, because it looks more Swiss made than the other dress watches in my collection.

Hands-on Rossini Devil Ray Diver Watch

No Comments on Hands-on Rossini Devil Ray Diver Watch

Rossini, this brand has been in watch industry for a lot of years, but I do not know much about it. I made some searches online and found some beautiful ladies watches of them, and certainly a connection with the Swiss they have claimed in their brand story, although not obvious, but like most other watches created in China, Rossini tried to promote their watches with some Swiss-related elements. There are a lot of micro brands like Rossini in China, but not all of them are high quality, some even claimed they are made in the Switzerland to cheat customers, some are really high quality, you need a good guide to pick a quality watch, while cano not spend too much. Rossini is not a homage brand, they have their own designs, especially on ladies models, but I do not think men will choose a Rossini when they also meet some popular homages at the same price point.

Why I choose this Rossini watch although I already have a lot of diver’s watches? I was simply attracted by its design inspiration that comes from the Devil Ray. I checked the entire watch, its color combination of silver and black is exactly the color you find on the Devil Ray, and the design elements on the dial, also inspired by the Devil Ray. This is not about homage, the watch is totally independently designed by Rossini, few brands like them to use an animal in the sea as a design theme of their diver’s watch.

The watch looks strong and robust because is is fully made with solid stainless steel, with wide bracelet and bezel. The case has a diameter of 43mm and thickness of 12.4mm, for a diving watch, the thickness is ok for most people, but the case is a little big for some people after all it is 43mm. The case is fully brushed, the uni-directional rotating bezel has engraved black markers, and features a white lume pearl at 12 o’clock. The shape of the lugs and crown guards looks similar to the front face of the Devil Ray. On the solid stainless steel back, there is an engraving of Devil Ray, the back is screwed down to gurantee a 100m water resistance.

The black dial has an unique sandy texture, the hour markers, including the big digits 3-6-9-12, they have big and wide design, so they can be applied with more lume material, to ensure the dial markers and hand have a long-lasting glow in dark conditions. The hour hand also draws design inspiration from the shape of the Devil Ray, both hour hand and minute hand have been applied with lume material, the sweeping seconds hand on the center has a tip in bright red color. There is a Devil Ray image at 6 o’clock.

At last, I want to talk about the movement, the Rossini uses a Seiko NH35A automatic movement, which is widely used in many diver’s watches created in China. Like this Rossini, these type of diver’s watches with NH35A movement have two big obvious features, basic timing function and cheap prices. Til now, the watch is a bit faster, about 10 seconds each day. It is said that the watch with NH35A movement will run a little faster at the beginning, it will become normal and more accurate after wearing for a while. By the way, I would love the watch more if one extra nato band could be offered for this Rossini watch.

Lobinni “Moon Phase” Power Reserve Watch Review

No Comments on Lobinni “Moon Phase” Power Reserve Watch Review

Do you know Lobinni? I read the brand story on its website and know it is registered in the Switzerland, is this true? I doubt it, a few watch brands in China have such a false story, claiming that they are made in a town of the Switzerland, actually they are just common watches made in China, and their movements are either from China or Japan, not C.O.S.C certified. However, I have seen many positive reviews about Lobinni, some doubt the brand’s origin but still like the quality of their watches, which are solid made with real functions. This is my first Lobinni watch, which looks classic on stainless steel case and black leather band, the dial design also makes it look a bit complicated but very easy to read. I have several dress watch with power reserve feature, except Parnis, this Lobinni is my most favorite.

The watch is slightly similar to a watch made by Jaeger LeCoultre, I do not know its name, but its dial certainly refers to the design of that Jaeger watch. Stainless steel case, silver dial and black leather strap, this is a very classic combination, every brand has such type of a dress watch in their product line.

The watch has a stainless steel case with a diameter of 41mm, which is not too big or too small, a suitable size for most wrist, the case thickness is 11.5mm, which can not be called ultra-thin, but it is already very thin for a mechanical watch with multiple functions. The case and round bezel are polished, the lugs have graceful arched design that make the watch fit your hand in a more comfortable way, the screw-down crown is onion-shaped and features a Lobinni logo on the frontal face, which is a “L” letter in a flower. The crown is designed to have a big size so that it will be much easier for the wearer to operate.

The white grid dial is the main point. The entire face has a slope design to show hour markers and minute scales, there are also several indicators in 3D to display different functions of the watch. First, the fan-shaped indicator positioned between 10 o’clock and 11 o’clock shows you the remaining power reserve energy, once the watch fully winded, the small hand will point at “40”. The day and night is displayed through the arch-shaped indicator at 2 o’clock, while the date is shown at 6 o’clock. All hour markers have a three-dimensional design, they have multiple cutting face, just like the central hour hand and minute hand. On the case, there are two small buttons up and under the crown, the one up the crown is to set day&night display, the button below the crown is set to adjust date.

The case back is a see-through sapphire crystal that shows an automatic movement in front of your eyes, it has beautiful decoration on the auto rotor and movement plates. Based on my experience, this is a very common Chinese movement that has a power reserve of about 38 hours once being fully winded. The black genuine leather band is made with calfskin leather that is soft and durable, it is fitted with a deployant clasp in stainless steel. The watch also has a rose gold version. Til now, the watch still works fine, no accuracy issue, 8 seconds faster each day is not a problem.

Hands-on Fiyta Mach J-20 Blue Pilot’s Watch

No Comments on Hands-on Fiyta Mach J-20 Blue Pilot’s Watch

About Fiyta, you guys are more familiar with it than me, it is also more famous than other watches I introduced on my blog, certainly except Sea-gull, after this is the greatest national brand of China. Fiyta has a long history, it was founded in 1987 in Shenzhen of China, it is the only one listed watch company in China. Fiyta watches use movements supplied by Sea-gull, their watches have a very close style to the design of Swiss watches. I have several Sea-gull watches, but I never bought one Fiyta watch before, so this pilot’s watch is my first Fiyta watch, it has a price higher than that of the other watches in my collection.

I do not know if it is the J-20 model that made me decide to buy this watch, the J-20 fighter model sent with the watch is really attractive, certainly the watch is also a solid timepiece, the iron box is specially made for this special edition watch, Fiyta also shipped on extra band inside the box. There are black and blue models for this watch to choose, and I select the blue one, which comes with a blue dial and blue leather band.

On this Fiyta, its case profile and dial style describe a classic pilot’s watch. The case is made of 316L stainless steel, with a diameter of 42mm and 12mm thickness, the case and bezel are smoothly polished, versus two brushed sides, seeing from the side, the case has a beautiful arc with round and smooth corners that are perfectly polished. The screw-down crown feautres a sanded finish star logo on the polished face. On the solid case back that is fixed by star-shaped screws, there are a few engravings with their meanings. When take a closer look at its case and dial, I found this Fiyta has a similar outlook to IWC Big Pilot.

The blue radial dial has a delicate finish, there are three small dials, each has their own useful purpose. The big numeral hour markers refer to the design of IWC Big Pilot, they have been applied with lume material, so are the broad hour hand and minute hand in sword shape. Fiyta claims that the lume light can glow more than 4 hours in dark environments after absorbing enough light. The subdial at 6 o’clock is for time display in 24-hour display, the 3:00 subdial features a small hand pointing at currect month, its opposite subdial at 9 o’clock is week display. Each small hand on these subdials has a red tip, just like the central second hand. You can adjust the month by pushing the button at 2 o’clock, other features like time, week and date can be adjusted via the screw-in crown.

The blue leather band is made with calfskin leather, it feels with soft to wear, two loops help to fasten the end of the band, the pin buckle in stainless steel also looks very distinguished, I like it.

Caluola “Tourbillon Moon Phase” Rose Gold Watch Review

Post author By Bob
Post date August 4, 2022
No Comments on Caluola “Tourbillon Moon Phase” Rose Gold Watch Review

I knew Caluola several years ago, at that time, I worked in a watch company, they sold a lot of Chinese brand watches as well as replica watches, Caluola is one of the brands they were dealing with. I do not know the background of Caluola, but it is mostly likely from Guangzhou, there are a lot of micro brands like Caluola made in Guangzhou, perhaps the development of fake watch industry also gave birth to these types of Chinese brands. Caluola is not a homage and also does not make any models with sports styles, most of their watches are dress watches that looks elegant, some ladies watches have diamonds that look luxury.

Caluola does not copy the designs of Swiss brands, at most one or two elements of Cartier are used on some ladies models. Today, I want to introduce an interesting Caluola watch, why I describe a watch “interesting”? You will know the answer after seeing its dial. I have bought dozens of Chinese watches, some are like this Caluola, they really like to use subdials design and open a window on the dial. Take this Caluola watch for example, does the subdial at 9:00 really add extra function to the watch? I do not think so, it is just another hour hand, I even think it is redundant. The window opened at 6 o’clock, Caluola claims it is a tourbillon, that’s ridiculous, it is just an opening to show the working of balance wheel and gears. I do not know why they do these, maybe the purpose is simple, just to let the watch look more complicated than it is, so that they can sell it at a higher price than it worth in Chinese market, after all, most Chinese buyers know little about watches. But Caluola will never sell at such high prices in foreign markets. The subdial at 3 o’clock is displaying day and night, it is a false moon phase, but it is the only subdial that is useful to the wearer, because the small seconds hand is moving on.

I still like the watch although I complained a lot above, I choose the rose gold model with brown leather strap, the watch has a very uniform coloring, wearing it can both show your identity and luxury taste. The watch will be a perfect timepiece for men who usually need to wear suits to attend some formal occasions. The watch has a case diameter of 43mm and 12mm in thickness, it is completely polished with curved lugs to fit your hand in a more comfortable way, by the way, the straight lugs are polished smoothly with round edge to guarantee your wearing comfort.

About the dial, its finish is good, even better than the other dress watches in my collection. The functions on the dial I complained above are not big deal for most people, after all it’s a rule in the watch-making industry. The good craftsmanship is reflected through its two hands and hour markers, both sword hands are not flat, but a little ridgy because of their multiple cutting faces. The center of each hand is applied with white lume material.

I like the movement displayed through the transparent sapphire crystal back, it has a decorated auto rotor with brand name “Caluola” engraving in black. There are very simple striped polishings on the auto rotor and movement plates. For its price offered for Chinese customers, I think Caluola should choose an automatic movement with date feature for this watch, to show the date at 6 o’clock instead of a false tourbillon device there. Considering all aspects, this Caluola is a watch that can show the elegance of a dress watch to the maximum.

Fairwhale

Fairwhale Skeleton 42mm

Fairwhale also makes watches? I may had this question before I see this watch. I know Fairwhale, it is a Chinese clothing brand, I bought blue jeans from them before, I just did not know they also make watches. Now, Fairwhale has a wide production line that covers clothing, leather goods and watches, it also owns several sub brands, now Fairwhale has become a famous luxury group founded in China. I did not buy Fairwhale watch before, so this is my first time, the watch looks ok, just worth its price. Fairwhale has a good reputation in fields of clothing and leather goods, few people know their watches, for such clothing brand that also makes watches, I won’t spend too much on their watches, unless they make good homages, while Fairwhale absolutely won’t make homages, each watch has their own design features.

The Fairwhale watch I received one week ago is totally a black one, they also have white stainless steel and rose gold models, with bracelet or leather strap. Fairwhale watches’ main audience is the young people, so, many models have bold designs that do not look that mature. I chose a mesh steel bracelet for this watch, while the seller sent me a black leather band for free.

The case is 42mm in diameter and only 12mm in thickness, it has black coating plated, so is the mesh bracelet. I like the black one, it looks cool, for the other models in stainless steel or rose gold, they also look fashionable because of the dial decoration. The black dial looks nice, I think many young people will like the style of this dial, several small dials and openwork, even they do not know what is the real purpose of each small dial. Actually the two subdials you see on this watch are not really necessary. First, the small dial at 9 o’clock is a repeated 12-hour display, the small dial at 3 o’clock is a day and night display, there is no hand on this subdial, but you can see the sun and stars patterns. The big opening at 6 o’clock shows the working balance wheel and gears inside, Fairwhale has applied white lume material on hour hand, minute hand and the small hand, they will glow a strong green light in the dark.

The watch features a display case back to show you an automatic movement that comes from China. The decoration on the movement rotor and plates looks ok. After wearing the watch for one week, there is a waste of 12 seconds daily error, but that’s ok for me, after all I think it just worth the money I paid for. Whatever, the Fairwhale does not deserve our extra attention unless you are a fan of their jeans and luxury leather goods.

Pagani Design Green Hulk Sub 116610LV Homage Review

It seems like that many micro brands in China have the homage of Rolex Submariner, whether the black sub or green hulk, they are very popular homages, a lot of people still bought them even they know it is not Rolex. Dozens of micro brand watches in Chinese watch industry know how to make a rapid success by creating homages of some popular Rolex models, Pagani Design is such a brand, and with the promotions of E-commerce platform Aliexpress, the watches designed by Pagani Design can be delivered to every corner of the world, and almost every person can get one Pagani Design watch because of their low price. The green watch from Pagani Design I am going to introduce today is a good homage of Rolex Submariner 116610LV, actually in my collection there are several pieces have a similar look to 116610LV Sub, but I love this Pagani watch most.

I have several Pagani Design watches, most of them are homages of Rolex and one Tag Heuer homage, but this green one is my best Sub homage I have ever bought. It has an excellent quality and a great value for money, the case and bracelet is solid stainless steel made, with a stable Japanese automatic movement, it is the best Chinese watch I have bought at this price point less than 90 US Dollars.

The case has a diameter of 40mm, case thickness is about 13mm, actually Pagani Design also makes the latest 41mm Sub homage, both 40mm and 41mm available in different dial and bezel color. The case is fully brushed, except two sides and the crown guards, which are polished. The crown is screw-down, compared with the Sub, the crown guards are little short. The bezel is good, it fits the middle case perfectly and there is no loose feeling, when rotating it, the bezel action is superb with a nice click, no backplay or movement otherwise. A little pity that the bezel insert is not made with green ceramic. The bezel pearl has a round and domed face, it has white lume coating filled and will emit a blue lume light in the dark.

The green dial is under protection of a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with lents 2.5x. Both hands and hour markers are applied with lume material, they will glow at night, the same blue lume light as the bezel pearl, the lume won’t last very long, but after absorbing enough light during the day, the lume still looks very strong. Benz hand is an exact clone, the innder bezel is empty without engravings, each hour marker stands a little higher on the dial, but not too high, if Pagani Design uses a 3D logo at 12 o’clock, the dial will have an enhanced sense of layering and look better. By the way, my friend has a super clone green Sub, after comparing it with this homage, I found there is slight difference in the green color.

The watch has a display case back with a good exhibition of the movement, which is NH35 of Seiko. I bought one Seiko five years ago, it still works fine, so I trust this movement quality. I have had this Pagani watch for three weeks, now the movement has a waste of about 10 seconds each day. The bracelet is all brushed with screws, its edges and corners are a little straight and sharp, that’s ok for me, I have the bracelet polished more smooth and round in a store. Any way, considering its price, the watch is a perfect homage, I give this watch an eight out of ten.

Parnis

Parnis Day & Night Watch Review

No Comments on Parnis Day & Night Watch Review

Parnis is still my most favorite Chinese niche brand, also the homage watch I love most. Parnis has produced a lot of good quality homage watches for us, while the most classic one should be the Parnis Power Reserve, I think many of you guys have bought one several years ago, it is also the one that brought me into the world of homage. Parnis was founded in Guangzhou, this brand has made a big contribution to the development of homage watch industry in China, now many niche brands are copying the development route of Parnis. The Parnis watch we will talk today does not look that classic like the power reserve model, but its multiple functions indeed attract a lot attention.

I saw the words “moon phase” in the title when purchasing the watch, absolutely this is not a watch with real moon phase function. The small dial you see at 12 o’clock that features sun and stars images is not for moon phase, it is just a time show in 24-hour format with day and night display. I think a lot of you guys will love such type of watch with so many functions integrated into one, while sold at a very reasonable price. On the white dial, there are also week and date display, which are positioned at 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock separately. The case has a diameter of 43.5mm, plus the slim round bezel, the dial has a large space to show every element together in a less crowded way. Central hour hand and minute hand are lancet-shaped, together with the slender sweeping second hand, they are a perfect interpretation of the classic. The window opened at 6 o’clock with two ends fixed on the dial by blue screws is not showing you the tourbillon device, a fasle tourbillon, it is just displaying a golden balance wheel in front of your eyes.

It is very easy to adjust the week and date, there are two buttons up and under the crown. You can press the button at 2 o’clock to adjust week, and press the button at 4 o’clock to adjust date, well, there will be instructions in a manual book shipped with the watch.

The watch is made with 316L stainless steel, it has a black leather band, the weight of the entire watch is only 85 grams. Unfortunately the crystal is not sapphire, just mineral, that’s ok, after all the cost of the watch is less than 100 US Dollars. From the crystal back, we can see a golden movement inside, I do not like the golden color, I think a silver movement will look better on this watch with a see-through back, while Parnis can use a solid back if they choose a golden movement for this watch.

In my opinion, if you are looking for a casual watch to wear in the office and do not want to pay more than 100 US Dollars, then Parnis must be the best choice, they have two perfect models for you, one is with power reserve feature, the other is this watch with miltiple functions. Do not buy other homages at the same price point, they are not as good as Parnis.

Sea-gull Diver’s 100m Green Watch Review

No Comments on Sea-gull Diver’s 100m Green Watch Review

Unfortunately the green bezel insert is not ceramic made, I think many people will decide to buy this watch if it uses ceramic to make the green bezel. Now, a ceramic bezel is a necessary feature for many modern diving watches, perhaps to save the cost, Sea-gull did not decide to use a ceramic bezel on this watch. Ocean Star is a diver’s watch series from Sea-gull, but I am not sure if this watch is from its Ocean Star series, because I do not see a star logo on the dial. This Sea-gull is the diver’s watch I have owned with the most simple designs. There are only hours, minutes and seconds display, there are even no date, it is ok for me, simple things always keep in fashion.

I received the watch three days ago, the seller sent me one pair of black rubber band and one wrist band as a gift. Like the watch, the Sea-gull box looks more high-end than those niche brands from China.

The watch has a big case that is made with solid 316L stainless steel, the case diameter is measured up to 44mm, which is bigger than most diver’s watches in the market, the case is about 13mm in thickness, together with the solid stainless steel bracelet, this big watch feels a little heavy on my wrist. The bezel tooth has a similar design to that of Submariner, the bezel is uni-directional rotating, there is a “S” logo in satin finish on the crown face. The first link of the bracelet is perfectly connected with the case head, and keep in the horizontal line with the curved lugs, so the entire case can fit your hand more comfortable.

The dial is simple, but it has all necessary conditions that make it a good diver’s watch. Big hour markers, wide hand design and strong lume. And we can read from the dial that the watch is water resistant to 100 meters, so you can wear the watch when swimming, surfing and diving. The green dial looks special, it is not pure green, it looks a little black on the edge of the dial, while greener on the center. The lume on the hour markers hand hands is green in dark conditions, so is the triangle bezel marker at 12 o’clock.

We can see the movement through the crystal back, it is a ST25 automatic movement developed by Sea-gull, there are beautiful fish-scale decoration on the auto rotor and movement plate, words “SEA-GULL” and its logo are also engraved. Sea-gull claims the movement has a power reserve of 45 hours, 25 jewels and 21,600BPH, after 3-day wearing, the watch is about 10 seconds faster each day, well, this is under the inaccuracy range of the movement. The stainless steel bracelet has a different finish from that of other watches, the middle links are brushed, while the links at both sides are polished, the contrast in finish is strong. The bracelet has a great quality, first it is solid made, second, the gap between each section of links is very small. Well, I like the watch to be fitted with the rubber band, it is not that heavy.

Pagani Design Blue Sub 116618LB Homage

No Comments on Pagani Design Blue Sub 116618LB Homage

Now, Pagani Design has become one of my most favorite homage brands, in the past, I loved Parnis most, but now as long as Rolex published a new model, I will go to the website of Pagani Design to see if there is a homage of it. Many people in various watch forums are also talking about this watch, they love it, perhaps the main reason is the cheap price, but in my opinion, the quality has been recognized, even it is not the best, but it is the best option to choose at the same price point. I have bought several Pagani Design watches, my most favorite one is the Daytona Paul Newman homage, several days ago, I got another watch from Pagani Design, it is a full gold watch, its bezel and dial design remind me of the blue Sub 116618LB.

The watch is in full yellow gold tone, the inner material is 316L stainless steel, there is a layer of yellow gold coating, I am sure the gold layer is not thick because the price is there, it is also not the 18K gold we usually see on some replicas, if you do not take a good care of the watch, the gold will fade in a short period. Well, that’s not the issue I care about, I won’t wear it every day, because there are dozens of watches in my collection. The case has a correct size, the same 40mm as Submariner, case is also not thick, which is 13mm. I appreciate the finish on the case and bracelet, the alternative usage of brushing and polishing gives the wearer a great visual experience. Every link of the bracelet has gold coating on each side, a lot of golden watches at this price point can not achieve this level of craftsmanship. The bezel has a blue insert, which is not ceramic made, the lume pearl at 12 o’clock looks too white, lack of some transparency like the pearl on Submariner.

The dial looks nice, the blue color is very close to the blue on the bezel, like the bezel pearl, every hour marker is filled with white luminous material, the benz hand is also a feature we can see on Sub. The date window positioned at 3 o’clock features a black font, with a 1.5x magnifier attached on the sapphire crystal. The inner bezel is empty, there are no engravings, it is my fortune that the seller picks up a good watch for me, because the central second hand can stop exactly in the middle of the triangle 12H marker, which is perfectly aligned with the bezl pearl and the 60-minute scale.

From the printings of “JAPAN MOVT”, we know the watch is equipped with a Japanese automatic movement, actually Pagani Design also claims that the movement is a Seiko NH35. I know a lot about Japanese Miyota 9015 movement, but about Seiko NH35, I only know it is a very common and old movement, but the quality and stability can be trusted. I have several watches bought from China niche brands use this movement, their inaccuracy is about 10 seconds to 25 seconds, no big issues, I can accept as long as there will be no repairing issues within several years.
