Interesting Aliexpress finds

[papabear244]

Something I just found out and wanted to share: the display caseback from a 40mm 6498 "Geervo" watch fits perfectly on the mini fiddy and 45mm rad cartel cases (the ebay cheapies). It's very thin and has large opening.

I've looked at a couple of these 45mm radiomir cases from 3-4 different sellers but I can't find one that is brushed. They are all polished and with a bit of "cut off" corners, probably due to overpolishing. But when you look at a gen case its still sharp despite being all polished.

The over polishing is a defect on all the low budget case sets.

I think Getat get that right.

I agree .... no man will ever go back to wearing a <40mm watch .... even the pricing is higher for watches of +40mm case size

Completely disagree. Watches with <40mm are getting popular again. Please note that new reissued field, diver, racing watches from famous brands are getting gen size specs - Seiko, zenith, breitling, etc.

Giant watches are not practical enough to wear them outside of regions with subtropical climate. Try to wear a big egi in a cold Scandinavia winter

Same with the luminor cases. It’s like they just take the brushed case and polish it from there. It’s a pity because the shape of the brushed actually looks fine. I’m no expert and I can’t tell if the CG pin is ok or not but at least it doesn’t look like it’s melting.

Yes... I'm curious to see if we can put a 6497 inside, the mouvement holder seems wide...let us know
