Pagani, Addiesdive, Benyar. I have owned watches from all 3 of these brands and all have been great value.

Tandorio 39mm field watch, 316L case, NH35, sapphire, 200M, under $50. Sold me on Tandorio quality, I now have 10.

Bought 4 of them for about 12 to 14€ each one and changed the clasp to a mild one. Here is the Coooral edition! 👨🏻‍🌾

The watch is beautiful and the price is incredible, I'm going to get the green one to try.

pandasimuladores30

It's been about ten minutes since I bought the green one and from your photo it's even more beautiful than I expected. I paid $16.38 including taxes and shipping. For now, of the Chinese watches, I only have the Poedagar 613 (which people here on Reddit seem to think is pretty bad, but I thought it was very good). Until today I had only used digital Casio's, now I have been infected by the Chinese Watch virus HAHAHAH.


Drega-In-Rage

Glad you liked! Excellent price my friend! Look at this one I've bought before and bought another today for my sister, a Seiko cocktail inspired watch with an excellent Seiko quartz movement Vh 65 with sweeping seconds! The quality is great and super light! Got it for 17€, with the 4€ coupon and 75% discount with coins! Don't forget to use them! https://preview.redd.it/qbaql7w7657d1.jpeg?width=954&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7e2eb0c12dcc9ca8c477585e6d28386af9354fb0 Here is the link if interested in dressy watches!

We’ll see about the Corgeut Daytona homage I get soon from the last sale that was just under fifty. Just received a Holuns pepsi GMT that was around forty. Hit and miss compared to pagani mainly due to hollow link bracelet and lack of sapphire. Better case finishing though with less sharp edges and better crown/crown guard. Lume is comparable.


InsuranceDude87

The AD2030 is a popular pick for $40

The colored border puts me off a little.

Bezel ?


pandasimuladores30

Yeah


mrch138

You wouldn't want a colored bezel on a dive watch?

Drega-In-Rage

Yeah there are a few gems, especially one that I've bought recently is the Lige 6801. I was really skeptical about this one, but it really surprised me. The thing is, if you can get it at around 18 to 20 euros, this one is awesome with that high beat movement! The bad thing about this watch is the gold plating If you go with the two tone model, the quality of the steel isn't bad and the Butterfly clasp falls short... Another issue is the bezel, it may be ceramic yes but it's a bit misaligned unfortunately, it has a mineral crystal, but seems good quality one and the case is steel, not that zync alloy BS, well made, not perfect. The logo name is very busy but I can ignore it like the cyclops, doesn't magnify that much but you can always change that easily, it reminds me the Cadisen cyclops 1.5x. The dial and hands are super well made, really love it, it seems like Pagani Design had a touch here. I've changed the bracelet to an oyster one and soon a jubilee.


FaizanBilla

Lige watches are horrible. Please avoid


WhorologyFan

Concur. Lige is junk.


pandasimuladores30

These two have very low values. The quality is good?


T-099

Bro, are you ok? Quite literally just two lines above what you wrote they said it’s “horrible” and “junk” and you’re asking if the quality is good? 🤔


pandasimuladores30

I think you're the one who isn't doing well, you can't even see the time each comment happened.


Objective-Donut7998

What your “these two” was referring to ?


030Shark

Bought the PD1727 with Tiffany dial for just 25€ last sale, love it and probably made one of the best deals I could get


Tgozzz

I got one with the yellowish dial for around $23 total. I get more complements on it than any other watch.


_cinnamonTOASTtrix_

Do you mean yellow or pink..? Can't find what you're describing.


030Shark

I was doubting about the size due to my 8.5" wrist, but actually needed to remove 1 link(didn't want to care with microadjust) and it is just perfect imho. Can't imagine a better price/quality deal


pandasimuladores30

I think we have a winner, on 6/17 I'm going to get one of these.

pandasimuladores30

So nice!


030Shark

Thanks! Really satisfied with it of course! Always had a weak spot for the Daytona, but always thought it missed a date function. Although the allignment of the date could be better it doesn't seem to disturb me. Thought it might be too small for my 8.5" wrist, but it isn't and even removed 1 link(way less hassle than microadjustment). Might get another one with a different dial during next sale, at these prices everybody should consider Pagani Design. There is really no bothering with way too cheap and crappy(yes, those below 10 and such) watches, I suppose this is a sweet price spot for almost everyone


030Shark

I own many cheap Chinese watches. But damn: they are often half the weight of this one and such. The glasses break when you look at them. The bracelets break so easily. Before I ordered this one I ordered a Forsining automatic skeleton watch for 17€, it's okay but the (supposed) DD119 is of course kinda crappy. Definitely got infected with the Chinese watches virus, but I seem to like this virus🤭

Steeldive [SD1953 ](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Dc97p27)or [SD1970](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Ddxq2Ef). they go under 50$ during sales


keep_watch_71

Another vote for the SD1970. Got mine for £44. Pound for pound, it’s got to be the best buy on AliX.


pandasimuladores30

I found the SD1953 incredibly beautiful.


crlkll

Agree on the SD1970. Got it for 48€ and I understand why everyone recommends this one.


Financial-Loquat9576

Benyar datejust, bought it for 25€ and have been with it for a year nearly and really love it!


_monorail_

I've had a Benyar skeleton for about two years and it's been great. Their Sapphero sub-brand are great quartz watches.


sand_man99

Which Sapphero do you have? Been eyeing these since a nice simple designs for their sport watches.


_monorail_

I've got a few of them, two of their [Sky Dweller homages](https://www.amazon.com/SAPPHERO-Waterproof-Minimalist-Stainless-Business/dp/B096KSVZW9/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?crid=2YEMTHCUFR7UE&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Drx64u-PG0fT-7UXPo2T0T3NlKyWTVlxvTEDWZ_N0j7PNCoYDvpGxRSeIPaIzUaVUiTvvm00eOcuFZhvv4HE6UIC4eGkzmmI0CAJw9d4QT0WF93dqKUe4HLMSesjFvg7dzfqpLgiJsNzsRPchTQBPrDPwAGMzKqHWb9rfdWAaOEXSVp9aIZi9dUztCxg0TeWFE49wgb70YM8LfOF_uliUJOb31VMzOXCq1etJJ0t9p4Ml9upjT7OIgJiszOUFpQmvEc-TGfKzjyXk-tnwRhVOJbJZIZBYvF8IBVmbFyxjts.Nze6kuWaxkd0TCgMKsCZqYfsaCMQrC6_E1ukbsSVdrE&dib_tag=se&keywords=sapphero+mens+watches&qid=1718400337&sprefix=sapphero%2Caps%2C1491&sr=8-11), and a couple of their [chronograph models,](https://www.amazon.com/Waterproof-Chronograph-Wristwatch-Calendar-Luminous/dp/B09B7D4D27/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?crid=2YEMTHCUFR7UE&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Drx64u-PG0fT-7UXPo2T0T3NlKyWTVlxvTEDWZ_N0j7PNCoYDvpGxRSeIPaIzUaVUiTvvm00eOcuFZhvv4HE6UIC4eGkzmmI0CAJw9d4QT1EcxliIVd5sa3mDGBpq-tw90iwjybBaCiW638UO5pq_bDPwAGMzKqHWb9rfdWAaOEXSVp9aIZi9dUztCxg0TeWFE49wgb70YM8LfOF_uliUJOb31VMzOXCq1etJJ0t9p4Ml9upjT7OIgJiszOUFpQmvEc-TGfKzjyXk-tnwRhVOJbJZIZBYvF8IBVmbFyxjts.k6NaClJziS9rOgGWbeIoGvPTuL5xcBa2iMQ9Uo5s61E&dib_tag=se&keywords=sapphero+mens+watches&qid=1718400375&sprefix=sapphero%2Caps%2C1491&sr=8-7) one of which I'm wearing right now. Like you said, they're nice, simple designs that work with a variety of outfits, and the price point is one that you can pick up a few to match different styles. They've worked well in the time I've had them and I've gotten a good number of compliments.


sand_man99

Is the case stainless? I have heard on this subreddit that the cases for Benyar branded watches is not stainless (I think it was brass).


_monorail_

My matte black finish Benyar skeleton has indeed worn down to show a little brass. I actually don't mind it on that specific watch, because it matches the overall look and vibe. The black of the skeleton doesn't state the case material; the chrome/steel finish version *does* state that it's steel. I assume the omission is because it's brass. The Sapphero watches I linked to describe that they are stainless, and seem to be. The gold plating on one has worn a little on one spot and the bezel got nicked in one place, and appears to be steel.
