Watches don't grow on trees

Prices of all watches have risen by ridiculous percentages over the last year, but some of us have other solutions. Have a good week, everybody! 😎

Have a closer look at your lume pips. It's really obvious when you enlarge your picture. Once you see it... 😢For £140 (or probably more originally for yours), we should all expect better.

commented on Cestrian thoughts? ·

I wasn't going to comment ever again on this forum, but I have to say something about Cestrian even though I've never owned one and never will.

From a very quick reading of all the comments on Amazon, it seems that this line of watches (designed and sold by WatchNation - a web-based watchseller) are simply more Chinese watches with specs that you can get for £100 less in each and every case.

Some QC issues abound as with all Chinese watches. If you look at the YouTube videos from Gary at "I Like Watches" (among others), you will see that the lume pips are misaligned to the indices, and the finishing isn't any better than Pagani Design, Cadisen, Tandorio, or anything else in that price range.

I suppose if you pay your money and get a good one, it'll be a decent watch. It'll certainly do what any other NH35A based watch will do in regards to telling the time, but it's the kind of thing which you'll pick up new for £30 or so on eBay in a couple of years (actually already selling for that used).

I think, given what's on offer nowadays on AliExpress, you'd be better off with a Tandorio field watch for £35, or a more decent Rdunae for the same price as a Cestrian. Neither will be exactly the same style, so it's all down to whether or not you want that particular Cestrian watch.

You mean "his watch". 😉

Are these still Valjoux movements inside? If so, there are plenty of cheaper options.
