thank you for your eye for detail in your reviews, by now I don't buy a chinese watch online without watching a review from WR4K

Mate I love your reviews. I would happy buy a watch that you gave a good review cause you are bang on the money all of the time. Great reviews.

Nice review as usual, the left subdial is for day of the week function, it's numbered from 1 to 7 and it will rotate every 24 hours.

Great review....thanks!

6 o clock subdial is 24 hour or AM PM indicator. Actually quite handy. 9 oclock subdial is day of the week.

Great review 👏

I need this

They are sending mixed signals when they show a photo (above 3ATM meets daily needs) on the link you provided of the case back and it shows sapphire, but in the specs is shows Hardlex.

If you want a RM 011-03 homage go for it, I guess. I mean yeah it’s an automatic, but it has those decorative subdials and a Tachymeter scale… this is just to fool someone, if you ask me. Sure, if you take the PD 1727 for example, someone could think you would be wearing a Rolex 116520 or so but atleast it’s still a chronograph, even being quartz. I like this big date and I think the crown is nice but then yeah no thank you. I know, I’m being harsh but this just feels wrong. In any case, the review was still well made and rather enjoyable!

I've been trying to research lume upgrades for these low tier watches and I haven't found much info on luminova but from what I have been able to find it seems that All variants of Luminova are actually branded Super Luminova. C3 is just one colour of Super Luminova within the Super Luminova colour spectrum. There are 3 grades of quality/intensity/duration per colour (lowest to best)... Standard grade, Grade A, and X1. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I think your reference to the type of lume used on these low tier watches might require some revision.

"Please correct me if I'm wrong but I think your reference to the type of lume used on these low tier watches might require some revision." No, my reference to the type of lume used on these low-tier watches doesn't need some revision. I have a good knowledge of luminova, and Superluminova. See information below. History of Super-LumiNova A Japanese man named Kenzo Nemoto started a luminous paint business in 1941. He was contracted to equip Japan’s military aircraft and submarines with glowing gauges and meters during World War II. After the war, there wasn’t as much demand for this service so Mr. Nemoto had to find other uses for his luminous product. That’s when he began going to homes to paint the hands and markers of clocks, and later moved onto applying the paint to watches. At this point in time, Nemoto & Co. was born, and went on to further developed new phosphorescent pigment technology. This officially became known to the watch industry as LumiNova in 1993. The invention was patented by Nemoto and is licensed to other watch brands and manufacturers. In the same year (1993), RC Tritec AG was founded as a Swiss based company that holds the licensing rights to produce and distribute LumiNova under the registered name Super-LumiNova. So is it Swiss or Japanese? If you see Super in front of the LumiNova, then it’s 100% Swiss made. Although, be wary of watch brands that are not educated about the history of LumiNova and Super-LumiNova. Newer microbrands may be misinformed by Chinese, Swiss, or Japanese factories that they are using Swiss made Super-LumiNova lume, when in fact it could be something else. This may be ok as far as the quality of lume is concerned, but it could be misleading to consumers with regards to the origin. Is Super-LumiNova radioactive? Original watch lume was made from radium and was highly radioactive, especially for the workers hired to apply it to watches and gauges. Some watches even had “No Radiation” signs painted on the dials to indicate the lack of the dangerous substance. Nemoto invented LumiNova as a replacement for this worrisome material after Japan was faced with an aftermath of radiation after the war. This modern lume product is based on a non-radioactive and non-toxic formula consisting of strontium aluminate. How It Works: Super-LumiNova is charged by light. Sunlight or artificial light will do the trick, but many watch enthusiasts say natural sunlight garners the best results. When light energy hits the material, the electrons get excited and begin to energize rapidly, creating a phosphorescent glow. As the energy level of the electrons slows down, the brightness of the glow decreases. Nemoto also licensed a form of their product to Seiko for their LumiBrite watch lume, which was released around the same time that Timex launched their IndiGlo line of watches. The backlight in IndiGlo watches was powered by battery. What is it exactly? Super-LumiNova is produced and sold as a powder. You can find it in kits which include the luminous powder (pigment), varnish (glue), thinner (dilutor). Lume Application: You will want to read the application instructions and watch a few videos on KZread, but the basic idea is to mix the powder with the varnish in a mixing cup until you get the thickness you want. If it gets too thick, add some thinner to thin it down. Then apply the lume as desired. Some methods of applying watch lume include: Hand painting Silkscreening Pad printing Most watches with Super-LumiNova will use one or more of the following color codes: C1 - White with about 31% brightness of C3 C3 - Yellow with the brightest glow C5 - Greenish-yellow with 89% brightness C7 - Green with 84% brightness C9 - Bluish-green with about 83% brightness BGW9 - Light bluish-white with about 95% glow of C3 Old Radium - Appears to be aged/vintage tritium lume in the daytime, but glows a bright yellowish-green at night Old White - Off-white color in the day, glows yellowish-green at night Currently, there are 8 different afterglow colors in the Super-LumiNova lineup: BL - Blue Line - blue emission GL - Green Line - green emission VL - Violet Line - violet emission WL - White Line - complete white emission YL - Yellow Line - yellow emission OL - Orange Line - orange emission PL - Pink Line - pink emission UL - Ultramarine Line - ultramarine blue emission Grades of Super-LumiNova: Standard Grade A Grade X1 Grade X1 is the newest formulation of SLN. According to RC Tritec, Grade X1 lume shows improvements of up to 60% after two hours. This increase is based on a comparison between Standard Grade and X1 grade. It does not mention what the performance increase is when comparing Grade A to Grade X1. Note: It appears that not all colors/pigments are available in all grades. For example, C3 (green) is available up to Grade X1, but the BGW9 (white) is only available in Standard Grade or Grade A. While this newer formula of Super-LumiNova is said to provide a brighter and longer lasting glow, traditionally the more lume material you apply to the dial the brighter it will be. This is why some watch brands advertise that they apply multiple level of lume to their watches. For example, Lum-Tec is recognized in the luminescence arena for their process of applying 6-8 layers of Super-LumiNova over a pure white base to produce a long-lasting, dense glow. What is the correct spelling of Superluminova? Super-LumiNova What is the brightest Super-LumiNova? C3 What is the second brightest color? BGW9 What is the brightest grade? X1 What makes one dial brighter than another with the same material? The more layers of lume painted on the dial the more bright it will glow. Is Super-LumiNova Swiss or Japanese? “Super-LumiNova” is Swiss made, based on a product that was invented in Japan. How do I know if what I am getting is real Swiss Super-LumiNova? Sometimes you don’t know unless you are getting it straight from the source. Some watch factories may claim to be using the Swiss stuff but they are using something else. This is why you really have to trust your suppliers. What is the raw material type? Powder. Regards, #WR4K

@@watchreviews4k I'm confused, at 3:57 you indicated that the company admitted it was hardlex crystal and then stated for a second time, later in the video, that it was hardlex. Did you test it later and discover that it was sapphire?

Thanks a lot too bad they didn't went with something less corny... But because I googled this brand I stumbled upon your channel who looks crazy detailed for theses cheap Chinese watches good. You seem quite knowledgeable, I have a particular question, do you have some good looking brands/watches with the movement hangzhou 7500? (an ETA clone beating at 28800bph and 80 hours power reserve) Because I bought 2 years ago a Chinese watch for 140$/€ the accuracy was COSC worthy on my timegrapher (like +/-1s per day) so around +/-30s per month.
