Excellent list as always. I appreciate that you have on hand each of the watches you recommended. I’m not big into dress watches but that Borman is exquisite, and the Pierre Paulin is very cool. Thanks!

Yeah the PP is cool isn't it

I am put off by 90% of the Aliexpress watches just because of their names. Is it really more difficult to come up with a proper name than to manufacture a properly made watch? I can't wear something that says "WJKDEHLA" on the dial.

Yes...it's quite frustrating isn't it...Phylida is a great example....sounds like something that could cause a bad itch around the groin region !!

I have spent a lot of time on AliExpress and I had never come across the Borman - looks to be a wonderful finding- thank you and keep up the great work

Thanks mate

I think you may have confused the SN0115 and SN0116. The watch shown and the AE link are different watches! You also show the 115(sub style) on the site in the video before handling the 116(gmt style)

Excellent video, excellent camera technique.

I'd love to get a Baltany. But... Love that a lot of KZreadrs get to review them. Please with all your influence tell them to update the crown with a logo, and the bracelet as well. I'd buy another Cronos but can't get over they don't put the cool logo on the bracelet or band. You influenced me to get the Steeldive 1953.. 'Kermit' or 'Starbucks' It should arrive tomorrow! I'm thinking of getting a blue Steeldive Captain Willard homage, since it has the milled clasp. Unfortunately I bought the black one without it awhile back, it's still Awesome as ever, just too lazy with 40 plus personal watches to upgrade the clasp. Great video! Jody brought me here as I have subscribed to his channel for years now, I'm going to hit the Subscribe button!! Hopefully it helps you out. Cheers from the USA!

Hey David! Thanks for that man, I really appreciate that. Thankyou! Yes, I know what you mean on the signed crown!! Even Seiko do it...it's so frustrating! Admittedly, my ability to influence a brand is probably low but I am sure it's something they are aware of.... they just need to act on it!

@TheWatchChannelAU Yes I agree

Umm... There's a date color matched at 6 o'clock on the first watch! The San Martin gmt!!

As someone new to homage watches - Am starting to wonder do these watches represent better value than say lower price point orient / seiko / etc?

Absolutely they do

Do you see any deals on Cronos GMT or San Martin GMT watches?

@TheWatchChannelAU

there will definately be some deals for 11.11 but these are likely to be the regular $6 off every $300...based on SM prices that would be about $20 off regular prices I am guessing.

On the San Martin you said it doesn't have a date? Im confused.

yes, sorry...my mistake...eyesight & brain must be failing me!!!!

Can you please also tell us the price in USD. Most of us don't live in Australia but use the USD as the universal currency, and know to convert it to our local currency off the cuff. Thank you

That Seagull watch is the pick for me. Very nice. I love the style but in saying that I wouldn't buy it as it feels like some communistic nationalist piece with the weird "Remember the history" and "The glory of a bullet" and all the Chinese writing on the side - who knows what that says.
