Watch took 17 days from order to delivery (CONUS)
There is absolutely no way to distinguish this watch from the real thing. Details hold up even under heavy magnification. Only my wife knows it’s fake.
This watch is a chick magnet. I’ve had it for only one day and I already got a knobber from a homeless lady behind the 7-11.
Serious photographer here, if you wanna be able to get better close up shots with your phone for cheap, you can get cheap macro lenses that clip onto your phone camera at Walmart or on Amazon. They aren't great, but they're way better for closeups than just using the built in camera.
Edit: You can also get screw on macro filters that go on the end of your camera lenses, the cheap ones cost maybe $20 and are almost as good as much more expensive ones. I'd suggest a +2 or +4 filter for shooting watches.
For lighting, if you can get a couple cheap lamps like this one and put 100-150 watt incandescent (old style) bulbs in them and you can get a decent soft light. Otherwise you can just go outside; not on a sunny day though, slightly overcast days are the best for taking photos because the clouds act as a diffuser so you get a nice even soft light. If you want a more sharp a contrasty photo then shoot on a sunny day.
Lastly, make sure to try to be kinda artistic. You don't need to do anything crazy, but adding interesting elements to your shot or shooting the watch at an interesting location or from an interesting perspective can totally make the shot look better. Even something like taking a photo outside after it has rained and spraying a hit of water in the watch so it has some water droplets on it could be cool. Just don't overdo it, simplicity can really be great if done right.
If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer!

I'm really loving this watch. Came with a decent oyster style bracelet, but I think it looks great on this $16 leather two-stitch strap from Amazon.

Strap: Ritche 20mm Military Ballistic... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QHB5H8N?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
No problem. I used a little of this on the tip of a toothpick on one of my dg2813 and it made it near silent. It's what I had laying around but I'm sure any decent bearing grease would do the same. https://www.amazon.com/Lucas-Oil-10005-Tacky-Grease/dp/B000ARPVO8/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=lucas+wheel+bearing+grease&qid=1621345599&sr=8-3
Don't know if this is your style or not, but I've worn this strap with several watches. Fits great, doesn't slip, looks cool (I think).

The BM7330-59l by citizen is not a rep of the seiko you posted, it just a very similar design. You can buy it from a lot of retailers like amazon, or jomashop:

Just replaced the original garbage black leather strap on my Wish Nomos with a milanese style mesh one from Amazon. It's a bit thicker than the other mesh ones i have, but it works well with the size of the Nomos. Definitely would recommend as a cheap easy replacement

It's this one. Another user on here pointed it out and I really liked the look. I bought a bunch of NATOs with it too but haven't even bothered to try them out.
I just purchased a kit off of Amazon. Need to be < 1mm drivers. And when the screws twist and don’t rise, turn them upside down and tap-tap-tap. They’ll eventually just fall out. Just don’t do it over the kitchen sink.

Commonly known as Milanese or Shark Mesh
However, the band on this one looks more tighter and thicker with less gaps than your average Milanese strap so that might not be entirely accurate.
Here's an example on Amazon
I don't typically buy any straps from the gate. This is just a random 22mm strap I had laying around, it's nothing spectacular. Probably going to replace it with something nicer, who knows. Here's the link though https://www.amazon.com/EACHE-Genuine-Leather-Replacement-Straps/dp/B07CCB3SQK/ref=mp_s_a_1_25?crid=12NM1JY4XXO2Q&keywords=brown%2Bleather%2Bwatch%2Bband&qid=1668516142&sprefix=brown%2Bkeather%2Bwa%2Caps%2C97&sr=8-25&th=1&psc=1
Decent looking - but gen Armani (or Armani Exchange) starts at like $80 on sale, so why pay $40something for a rep? Some nice gens on Amazon for sale currently in the $100 range. You get warranty and know it will not fall apart when it arrives. Also it is actually waterproof. Look at this cool one for $125: https://www.amazon.com/Armani-Exchange-AX2164-Black-Watch/dp/B00VB71TVU/ref=sr\_1\_4?crid=3TS9SM7WDA55G&keywords=armani+watch+sale&qid=1668154110&sprefix=armani+watch+sal%2Caps%2C369&sr=8-4
You need an actual demagnetizer like this:
And you need a small compass. Do not use your cell phone near a watch since the the phone's powerful unshielded speaker magnets can partially magnetize a watch case or a watch bracelet. There are YouTube videos which show you hot to use a demagnetizer like the one in the above Amazon link, and how to use a small compass to check if your watch case or watch bracelet is magnetized.
Your local jeweler should have a demagnetizer and can show you how to use one. They probably will demagnetize your watch for free.
It is also better to buy an actual timegrapher instead of using a cell phone app, unless you don't mind demagnetizing your watch every time you put your watch really close to your cell phone.
There are mobile phone apps that can help you, watch accuracy meter for example. As an amateur you can sufficiently regulate your watch with this.

BEWISHOME 12 Watch Box with Valet... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HZ6LZ5L?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
The pillows are a bit loose in their slots, unlike the 6 watch version, which are nice and snug. Going to order velcro strips to put on the sides and hopefully snug things up.
Of course.. Correction it was black labradorite... This same seller has other types of beading stones as well.
Casio G-Shock I have a couple of these and they’re great.
Orient Bambino very nice for the price.
Then there is always Pagani Design. But they are “homages” for the most part. You can find their store on Ali Express.

Great option. Fuck, now I might have to buy one.
Use privacy.com. It will take a day or two for them to verify your banking information, but once they have, you can create disposable one time use cards in whatever amount you want.
I use Privacy.com quite regularly but haven't ever tried disputing something with them, if anything goes wrong. I have some gripes over what counts as a subscription for the 1% cash back but otherwise I'm pretty happy with them... the cards are classified as prepaid visa by Stripe and Paypal's payment processors.
I'd heard of that but haven't tried it. I've read a lot about this site called Privacy.com that lets you set up virtual cards tied to your bank account. I might try that. I signed up but didn't fund it cause it asked for the last for of my social to "verify my bank account." I'm kinda squeamish about that sort of thing. I still might try it but i'm reading more posts from people to see if they have had any issues with it.
the very first watch i ever bought with my own money was this pro diver, along with a pair of sport blue 6’s
i was in high school and i thought i was finally balling with my $235 pay check
that watch, nor the 6’s, will probably ever leave my possession simply because they were the first two things i had ever bought with money i got from an actual job
looking back, it’s a miracle i didn’t buy one of the gigantic invictas - i remember lusting after the ridiculously bigger pro diver after seeing it in one of those key game machines (fucking lol), and looking through amazon shows me no shortage of gold invictas either
for those who choose to be happy and mentally healthy, invictas are great watches because they do stuff like this and a bunch of other watches that appeal to people’s inner children
my uncle is a retired lawyer, but doesn’t concern himself with material things - when it comes to jewelry, the only things he owns are a small gold bracelet, and some invictas from their superhero collection

Maybe I am crazy but those DateJusts look just as bad as the 50-70$ Watches on DHGate? Am I missing something
https://www.smugmug.com/gallery/n-DgKsvg/i-9QtrvMQ/A
Bezels still look huge for double the price.
Everyone says that narikaa is worth the extra as it gets a bit or a lot right, just depends on who you ask. From the pictures the lume looks a lot better on narikaa's sub than the Jason U1. I have not held either of them and cannot comment from firsthand experience yet. I do have both of them on order and an waiting patiently. I will share side-by-side pics and post a review once they are finally in.

narikaa have a omega snoopy in the uk, you can mail him at [email protected]
​
Thanks for the feedbacks. Some comments from Polarstar say it has a ceramic bezel, which make me wonder if they are indeed from the same factory. Does anyone tried the narikaa ones WTC ?
Narikaa is a td on rwi for mid tier reps, usually better than dhgate but not quite td level
Here's a link to the watch you want

Yup, u/reaperofpower is right, you can get a basic gen Seiko for that price, and they're good. This is one of the best dive watches in the range, period, Seiko or no.
I am not sure what Seiko you want but I know Amazon has a few Seiko divers for 180-220

i bought this to take out a link in my rep daytona. Worked fine. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H8D23L6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I also needed the watch opener and pry opener tool (with yellow handle) to open three other watches i had that needed batteries changed. FYI, the watch band pins in the lower right of the first picture are garbage. They bend easily and i didn't even consider using one on my shittiest watch that needs a strap. There are some pictures in the reviews of people with broken pins in the case opening tool but i didn't break any of mine and it worked fine. And my case was on tight and definitely needed elbow grease. I did put a small scratch on the bracelet trying to get some screws out but honestly i don't care. It's a fricken rep. And my pop has a real Tudor and his looks all worn and beat up. I'm not getting overly precious. plus i'd like a better Daytona rep in the future anyways, maybe that vk quart i've heard of might be better. But i digress. Oh the holder worked quite well too. And i'll use it in the future I'm sure.
Reef Tiger made an absolutely beautiful rep called the Grand Reef. I’ve spoken to them on Ali Express a few times about making it again because the demand is there for them now. Send them a message and ask them to please make it again. It’s the Reef Tiger Official Store. They still have the bracelets for them but not the case or dials.
Here’s a link to Amazon to check it out. They made them about 10 years ago.

10 day shipping from China very satisfied with Jason.
Perfect daily shitter working in a Auto shop. Removed the shitty band that came with it and replaced it with a black leather band. Besides it being very noisy it's an awesome watch.

I got mine on Amazon here. Little pricey there, but can't beat Prime shipping. There are the same case mods floating around on the usual sites like Wish and the Gate for cheaper but I didn't feel like waiting for shipping from China for just a case mod.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HD8XCMM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I've done it with these tools. they're not the greatest but they work. I think that date wheel should work ok.
I got one of these for like $18 a couple years back and I legit love it. It's a conversation starter too: I get more comments on it than any other watch I've owned.
I hear you! I actually have a gen Seiko which for some reason, I don't really like all that much. $70 CDN (thinking this is roughly $50 USD?) is a nice price for those!
Yeah. I can get a video up a bit later.
Strap is from Amazon. There are stainless clasps as well but I thought the black would be cool. Time will tell if the black holds up. Since it's rubber, you have to cut the strap back to fit but it's easy. I just removed the clasp and it's fairly obvious where to cut to remove a hole. Just go slow. Take one hole at a time.
It's the Ritche quick release strap, and I got it on Amazon. Here's the link. For $16, I'm absolutely in love with this strap. It's THICK for a strap, very soft, has a great buckle with a slightly brushed look, and that vintage style is hard to beat. I took this strap off of my Tissot T12 Navigator to put on the Tudor because the original strap that came with the Tudor was terrible. Actually just ordered another one a few hours ago so I can have one for each the Tudor and Tissot.
Yes mate. They’re from amazon and are so cheap.
Bornbayb Premium Nylon Nato Watch Straps Braided Nylon Band for Men Women (Width: 16mm, 18mm, 20mm, 22mm) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0799KGB87/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_RY78Db9TJBBSC
Saw someone post this watch in the Chinese Watches sub and had to snag it for myself. $18 off of Amazon with free Prime next day shipping. The strap is hot garbage, so I bought this NATO for $11, also with Prime free next day.
So far I'm loving it. An automatic with a good strap for $30 all in, if it lasts a year it was worth it.
Fair warning, apparently the datewheel is friction driven so when setting the date it feels rough AF.

That caseback tool alone can sell for that. This should give you almost everything you need. Maybe add a crystal press later, or a hand press now may make the seconds hands easier.
Miyota 8215 is about $40-50 USD off Ebay or Amazon.
Swapping is easy. The main difficult part is removing and swapping the hands because you could bend them.
You need some basic watch tools too.
I'd suggest getting a watch tool kit.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00PVN1DC0?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image
As well as a hands presser and lifter
Having all the tools helps in the long run for future needs. You could also sell your U1 Hulk in r/reptimebst and use that money to do whatever.
Test your luck with another, upgrade to a higher quality, buy a different watch.
Thanks man! I'm just trying to entertain a bit and sharing the type of content I wish I could find online.
That's a cheapo AliExpress/Amazon Eache vintage style strap on a deployment clasp I picked up from AliExpress. That clasp really completes the strap.

It is actually available on Amazon .. made by Glenor Co. I ordered mine off eBay. It was cheaper in Canada... but did take 6 weeks from the US.
I like it but the pillows need to be wider.They just sit in the slot, there needs to be a friction fit so it holds the watch in place.
Before learning about the Gate, I purchased this homage by “Vigoroso” on Amazon a couple years ago. They still sell for $20 as we speak. Oh, yeah they’re automatic too. I wonder if it’s the same watch with a different logo. Still works very well.
The watch is unavailable from the DHGate seller I purchased from, but here's the storefront: https://www.dhgate.com/store/13862465#st-navigation-storehome
The strap is also unavailable, but similar ones can be found on Amazon. Mine was around $40. Here's the original item link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002GP74XS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_EKDcFbPSFZ1PE
Who would pay for this? You can get identical ones on Amazon. $13 for 6: https://www.amazon.com/Carty-Watch-Straps-Stripes-Stripe/dp/B07MQJXR5D/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=nato+strap&qid=1592635974&sr=8-8

The glidelock bracelet has recently had an oil bath to loosen it up and feels pretty decent for what it is. Glidelock works great as well.
Watch keeps excellent time for a 2813, has been degaussed, and has a decent reserve.
$75 shipped conus, PayPal f&f only
I would recommend getting a kit. I use it more than expected. I grabbed this one off Amazon and it works just fine.
I just couldn’t deal with the cheap bracelet that came with the watch. You can see my review here.
I bought this strap off of Amazon which really helped bring this watch to life. (Link Here)
You know, I can't remember. I found it by googling Seat Belt NATO strap, and that was the color that went best with my Tudor GMT. These straps on Amazon seem to be similar

Problem with that is the settings only cover location data. If you want every bit of EXIF data scrubbed, you'll have to use an app like this one
This is gen Nixon but sometimes it goes on sale or Amazon has a warehouse deal for like $35. I copped last year for $38 CAD. https://www.amazon.ca/Nixon-Plastic-Analog-Black-A119-524/dp/B003IHFGBK/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=NIXON+TIME+TELLER&qid=1568665575&sr=8-3
Hi, I got it as a gift but this is the exact model: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Mens-Sekonda-Chronograph-Watch-1178/dp/B01HY3C17A/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_img_6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=4Q8REK6JW49SWMF2Y17G. I just changed the strap.
I see they also sell with a leather strap (likely to be poor). Wonder if that has the correct longings clasp? With the hassles you had maybe the strap is better to buy than the bracelet model.
Where do you buy your leather straps from? Can you link?

Not a /r/ChinaTime watch, really, but I picked up this little guy on a whim, and I love it. Keeps great time, looks good, and cost me $18, shipped. I swapped out the chintzy strap it came with for a $5 Amazon special leather, and now it's in my daily wearing rotation. I was seriously impressed with it, and still am.
I’m not at my computer and can’t seem to find the link to the exact seller but it is this strap.
It was from an American seller though. I think it was like $23.
