That’s a lot of watch for the money. I’m fortunate enough where I can spend more to get a better quality watch, but I understand that not everyone can so these options are great. Thanks for the great review.
That's a lot of watch for the amount of money you paid for it! I don't get the 90 click bezel though. It's 2023... They need to go away! lol Great review as always, Simon!
@@WatchtheTime I found out they already moved me to stage 5 at my last appointment. It's moving way faster than I thought it would. If anyone on here feels like saying a prayer for me, I'll take it! lol
Thanks for the great review (as your usual)! I have this watch for a while now, and really like it. I'd prefer a better job with the bezel, and the lume is weak (not unexpected at this price point). The strap is good looking and very comfortable, too. Definitely no complaints that make me regret the purchase. For the price you paid, its really hard to beat. Looking forward to your next vid!
Great review and great watch! I got mine at the beginning of the year & it’s been a daily wear. Yup, the bezel is not all that great. But for the prize, it’s been a great grab.
Completely agree with your review. Had mine for 3 months and had 0 problems with it thus far. It ran +12s/day from the factory and after regulation I get +2s/day. With its vintage proportions and specs it is arguably the best platform for any vintage inspired mod project. I will be swapping the hands+dial with Yobokie's no-date version of the Seiko-Laurel Alpinist for the ultimate vintage Seiko tribute. Highly recommend this for any newcomer to the hobby, it's my first and only automatic. Cheers!
Ah nice one mate and as a first automatic watch goes, this is a good choice and definitely the type of watch that could get you hooked. Please feel free to show me what it looks like when it’s completed, either to my email or Instagram 👍👍
Just found it... those refences are difficult to find on Ali.... One is 114 euro and one for 205 euro... why are the same watches a different price ? often you buy a watch and one minute later you find it for half price... ridiculous....
Cadisen have nailed it overall....and that price, bonkers absolutely nuts....the size rules it out for me, 38 divers look too small on me unfortunately....I'd definitely consider one if they went up to 40....🏴⌚🏴⌚
@@WatchtheTime never realized until I jumped into the original Exciton project....great watch just looks way too small, I was truly gutted....still got it but going to sell it....🏴⌚🏴⌚
Hi Simon it is a nice looking watch. It’s a shame that the lug width is 18mm and not 20mm. This watch could’ve been a good alternative to the Seastern and the Tandorio for the price
I’m not 100% sure tbh but I’ve noticed that if I spend £135 or more on one item or a few items from the same store, I haven’t had to pay import on AliExpress at the point of finalising payment. I hope that helps 👍👍
That’s a lot of watch for the money. I’m fortunate enough where I can spend more to get a better quality watch, but I understand that not everyone can so these options are great. Thanks for the great review.
That is a great point my friend and I’m happy to hear you’re in a good position but as you say, these watches definitely serve a purpose 👍👍
I really like this watch since it released. But at this price, it's really impressive!
Thanks Simon for the great review and sharing the good deals 👌
It sure is my man. Thanks for watching and always supporting my channel, means a lot 👍👍
Great review. Just ordered mine for the crazy price of £35 all in! At that price I can’t afford not to buy it.
Much appreciated mate and for £35 you have one hell of a good watch - enjoy 👍👍
I got it for 48£ it's a bit smaller than expected
I'm going to get order it now! Thank you for the review.
No problem mate, I’m just happy I could bring it to your attention. I’m sure you’ll love it 👍👍
Boom 💥 that’s a £40 winner, great review 👍👍
It sure is Andy. I’m glad you also like it mate and for good reason 👍👍
That's a lot of watch for the amount of money you paid for it! I don't get the 90 click bezel though. It's 2023... They need to go away! lol Great review as always, Simon!
Most definitely agree mate as I feel the same about 90 click bezels 😡
I hope you’re well my man 👍👍
@@WatchtheTime I found out they already moved me to stage 5 at my last appointment. It's moving way faster than I thought it would. If anyone on here feels like saying a prayer for me, I'll take it! lol
I’m so, so sorry Dan and I’m sending you all my prayers from the UK my man 🙏🙏

Most definitely man and I’m really pleased you’re enjoying yours, long may that continue - thanks for watching 👍👍
Great review Simon. Sapphire crystal for £40… that’s impressive.
It really is - thanks for watching my man 👍👍

I’m glad you’re enjoying it mate and I can completely understand why 👍👍

@@WatchtheTime Will do 👍
Incredible value mate. Top find 👏
Most definitely mate 👍👍
I'm a fan of this watch . Nice Review 👍
When is next Ali Express next sale ?
Nice one mate - thanks for watching 👍👍
It’s from August 21-27th mate
@@WatchtheTime 🙏
Incredible at that price
It sure is 👍👍
Nice Watch and with a good price but i dont buy watches anymore because i have near 75 watches
I understand Adrian as that is a serious amount of watches - enjoy my friend 👍👍
@@WatchtheTime Thank you my friend
i brought one on Monday for £36 after tax for a mod , thanks for the review bud.
That is a great piece mate - enjoy 👍👍

It’s a mind field mate and a shame that there can be such a difference in price between the same watch, that’s not cool.
Just purchased mine! Love this timepiece. Great review, thank you Sir! 🔥
Nice one mate, am pleased I could help you. Enjoy 👍👍
How much if you get the s.s.bracelet on it ? Great looking watch.
Great question and I’m not sure tbh, the price tends to fluctuate quite a bit. I hope you manage to get it at a good price should you buy one 👍👍
great review as always, would you say that's the best version of the 62mas hommage ? ..seestern sanmartin etc
It’s a tricky one as they all kind of operate at different price ranges but for the money, it’s a cracking watch mate 👍👍
@@WatchtheTime thanks for the answer and you Time .. 😁 mate cheers from le pays du fromage
Cadisen have nailed it overall....and that price, bonkers absolutely nuts....the size rules it out for me, 38 divers look too small on me unfortunately....I'd definitely consider one if they went up to 40....🏴⌚🏴⌚
No problem mate, I get that and completely understand 👍👍
@@WatchtheTime never realized until I jumped into the original Exciton project....great watch just looks way too small, I was truly gutted....still got it but going to sell it....🏴⌚🏴⌚
I understand that mate and I’ve also got my Exciton up for sale on eBay. Very nice but I just don’t really wear it tbh
Hi Simon it is a nice looking watch. It’s a shame that the lug width is 18mm and not 20mm. This watch could’ve been a good alternative to the Seastern and the Tandorio for the price
I agree Michael and with that small adjustment it could be a very, very good proposition (perhaps the bezel as well) 👍👍
I would've loved a quartz version, for reliability and convenience. Idk why but autos and mechanical just annoys me 😅
Fair enough mate. Nothing wrong with having a personal preference like that 👍👍
That's a purdy one
It sure is mate and very affordable too 👍👍
Hey mate how does the taxing work, if i order a watch worth more than 135 pounds?
I’m not 100% sure tbh but I’ve noticed that if I spend £135 or more on one item or a few items from the same store, I haven’t had to pay import on AliExpress at the point of finalising payment. I hope that helps 👍👍
@@WatchtheTime Thanks for the reply mate.
But does the shipment gets delivered to you without any hassle from uk customs?
@vinayakdas8239 no problem mate and no, I’ve never had any uk customs charges 👍👍
seiko spb143 homage?
Possibly 😜
Drilled lugs and we will have a winner !
That would be a nice addition to the watch for sure 👍👍
I'll stick with San Martins, this looks cheap
No problem mate - thanks for watching anyway 👍👍
