This hit the doormat today. £75 from Ali and so far I rather like it.
I thought I was getting the black dial but blue is quite nice. Sits on my wrist very nicely and the sandwich dial and lume are lovely.

Glad the pic helped and tbh it looks bluer in the metal than I've been able to capture. Think you'll be happy if you decide to buy one...
Amazon has some addiesdive watches (same as steeldive by the looks of it) in the prime day sale
Picked up a 6105 homage for £67!
I keep forgetting this one. A lovey Piaget Polo homage that I’ve stuck in a Barton rubber strap as the original pleather one was awful.
No hacking is about the only negative I can level at it but it makes a nice casual evening watch.

Just picked up a blue Seestern 62mas homage, with automatically applied £9 coupon, for £102 shipped tax paid.
Plenty of other colour choices.
The bracelet is so-so on this one, but the rubber waffle is decent.

I have had this Pagani Design Oyster Perpetual homage for about five weeks now and it has rapidly become something that I reach for daily. It’s a real surprise at just how good it is.
39mm case with 20mm lugs. Big chunky case that has deeper sides than my 16610 Sub. Love the Tiffany Blue dial.
Time keeping ball park +5s / day which I think is pretty good for a NH34/35 movement. Power reserve around 45 hours.
The Oyster Bracelet is really well made. No sharp edges. Comfortable and the comfort extension is a welcomed surprise. It’s a little stiff to operate but will loosen up a bit over time.
All in all amazingly good for £65 delivered
I think I shall be getting a 36mm version soon
^^^^^^^^^^^
I have this very model.
About 4 months ago I ordered a 36mm Oyster Perpetual (Tiffany blue dial) from the local AD. They thought this was a futile exercise as the model would be discontinued long before my name came up.
So a few weeks later I ordered the Pagani Design version. BUT before the PD version arrived from Beijing (or wherever) I got "the call" from the AD to pick up my shiny new 126000 OP.
When the PD arrived (a week later) I was surprised at the quality and it's now my "holiday watch" and the OP rests in the safe whilst I decide whether it's a keeper
This has been getting a fair bit of wrist time since it landed. It’s a Tuna style case, very substantial, solid bracelet although the clasp is functional but lacking. Has a nice blue dial and bezel that the photos don’t quite capture. Cost a whopping £10.70!!
Foxbox, eh? I remember seeing that on page 3 in the 80s.
I have been looking at these for ages.
In the end, a real one came up on SC, grabbed that.
Just snagged this. NH35A movement, sapphire, screwdown crown. £37.51 including delivery and tax.
Not sure until it arrives. I bought the same watch (but with different dial, handset, and strap) here on sc some time back, and can't remember, so probably not or it would have stuck in my mind. The case is machined very straight though, with virtually no sloping down of the lugs, I remember that. But at £37 it's worth it for the movement and strap alone.
£62! Unreal for the money!!

Slightly off at a tangent but thought I’d share this from Toolwatch. My £60 Pagani Design Oyster Perpetual homage. Worn for just over a week.

This was nearly £300 but it arrived this morning and I'm blown away by the quality and finishing on this titanium diver from San Martin.
Not cheap but aliexpress standards but we'll worth the money I think.
