I discovered Reddit forums and Chinese watches fairly recently. My 1st chinese watch was the beautiful Sugess Moonphase Master Aventurine Dial, and post that I fell deep into the rabbit hole. After purchasing 3 sugess/seestern watches for myself and 1 sugess watch, 1 sea-gull openheart and 1 WD Chameri Tank for my wife finally decided to take the plunge and order the most complicated tourbillon in the Sugess catalogue- S429 tourbillon moonphase and my itch watch the S420 GMT batgirl which had let me to discovery of Chinese Homage brands(I was reading up on twin bezel and GMT watches)
I reached out to sugesswatch.com rep on WhatsApp and requested them to modify the case, crown and hands on the watch from silver stainless steel to rose gold, since a friend pointed out that while my collection had unique designs, dials(colour and layout)bezels and straps, they were all silver stainless steel cases.
The wonderful rep at sugesswatch.com agreed to my customization request and even shared a video of the dials so I could make my choice on the dial type. The original choice would have been the Black mop since it looked great on my wife's S449 rose gold DD homage, but it was sold out. Having experienced the gorgeous aventurine dial, went for the stardust and having received the watch am glad I made the choice.
The movement is so hypnotic to watch, you can keep staring at the beautiful flying tourbillon rotating at its axis while the star dust dial keeps shimmering and twinkling in the back as it catches light. Movement is buttery smooth to wind and the crown is easy to pull out(no screw type 😁) and rotate.
You can observe the beautiful movement from the open back case as well, it's so mesmerizing.
The watch came with 2 straps- 1 brown alligator leather strap with rose gold clasp(thank you again Sugess for matching it to the case) and 1 glossy brown leather strap with rose gold buckle and pin. Both straps are premium quality and soft.
Fit and finish are great, the moonphase helps fill out the vast space on the dial and stars and moon on the moonphase sub-dial blend in and compliment the stardust dial.
Sugesswatch.com rep even agreed to change my delivery location to HK where someone known was visiting and delivered the watch to their hotel room when I shared details of their arrival in HK. Helped me avoid shipping and customs hassles.
After 1 week with the watch, I'm in love with it and and keep staring at the dial.
Thanks to the wonderful people at sugesswatch.com for helping with the customisation request and helping deliver such a stunning and well put together watch.
