I have the desert and I think itโ€™s a strange look in person. Go with the safe white neutral option

I've ordered A, but from San Martin

An alternative suggestion, I have this AD2023-1 from Addiesdive and I love it. Same case as the sand dune models youโ€™re looking at

Very satisfied. U go in thinking its a value watch, so my expectations were set early. Movement will be solid with it being that tried and true Seiko movement. What got me was after looking at the finishing and feeling the overall quality, it won me immediately. There were some sharp case angles but overall very impressed with this Chinese built time piece.

Dev, caveat emptor. Right? U know what u r getting into by buying this time piece from China. They simply mass produce on mass(ive) levels. U know its not a handmade microbrand that's babied thru the process, nor COSC certified, nor regulated, nor QC'd to the n-th degree. Many of us werent born yesterday too so we all know when u wade these waters. Caveat emptor, go in with expectations set that it could be off in terms of hitting each indice, or this, or that. An under $100 bucks watch is what u will get๐Ÿ˜‰ No knock on Chinese brands, I have a bunch of them even non-watches of course. They work plenty good.

I cannot speak for Addisdive because i've never bought one, but all of my Pagani Design watches hit the mark. As do my San Martins. My Sugess ST19 Chronograph is perfect in every way too. I agree that you have to be selective with what you buy, but there are some extremely well built watches to be found on AliX.

I have the brown but I am considering ordering both other colours because it's so nice!

Buy at least two Dev...the white first, then the sand and then the blue...they are all really nice and represent the bottom of different seas.
