Am glad you like the watch mate. As you know, I feel it’s a quality offering, not perfect but very good. Thanks for the shoutout too and as ever, great video 👍👍
Have u worn the watch often? If so, have u found anything bad to say about it in the last 3 months such as easy to scratch etc? I’m considering buying the chrome style version of this with the panda dial
My man big G just climbed in the hierarchy of my favorite bald guys-list. Now he’s somewhere in between Johnny and that chiropractor dude here on youtube.
I like that, it’s quite remarkable the finishing coming out of China at the moment. I quite like the Miyota 9000 series movements too. Agree, add bloody half links!!!!!!
You are 100% right in saying some Swiss brands are OVERPriced, mediocre made. I've owned Swiss brands that were disappointments ( Baume Mercier, ) in terms of quality control. The watch you show appears very well finished especially considering the low price.
Looks great, but 100% agree mate, half links are ESSENTIAL on any watch that doesn’t have micro adjust on the clasp, especially so for butterfly clasps. I have a 7.5” wrist and was tossing up between the 38 or 40mm versions. What’s your recommendation in terms of fit?
The only way to implement a "half-link" with that style of bracelet is to make an integrated male-female link that was essentially a 1.5x link. 9mm thick with this spec and movement? Currently on sale for 200 quid each? I wouldn't mind grabbing one and spicing up the movement a bit with some DIY polishing or even a replacement rotor from the modding sites.
In my oppinion the Pagani Design 1673 is a better option. It cost around 90 $ and has a slighty better design (plus it has lume on the hour markers, better desighn on the crown, quick release butterfly clasp) and it is also an automatic watch running an NH35 wich is a decent movement. (Miyota 9015 is the better movement no dought about that but the watch costs 3x times more than Pagani 1673).
I wouldn’t be much of a reviewer if I didn’t give a shit….😂 also, ixdao made half because I was gutted they didn’t include them initially so it pays off sometimes
I like that, but I think they should have had the radial grooves in the dial as minute markers, it looks wrong having the painted minute markers out of phase with the grooves.
@@ilikewatches Thanks Gary! I was wondering if that was a lug-to-lug dim or endlink to endlink. seems like the endlinks are fixed making it wear bigger like a prx. Thank you sir!
Why would they space the radial lines on the dial at any angle other than 6 degrees, which would have aligned those lines with the minute markers? Why? Such a missed opportunity!
But as far I can see.. All the links in this bracelet are half links! Looks like no option to half links. Then we need to start to talk about what is full size link and half links.. 👀🤔
Why did Netflix take this great drama off there channel.Absoulalty love this drama ShinSe Klung my no 1 korean actress,the male lead never did see him in any other dramashame good sctor and so cute.
I guess I'm guilty of being a brand whore for certain brands! 😂 That said, this watch is a really nice offering, the finishing seems really immaculate. I really love the Miyota 9 series movements. They're the sweet spot between performance, reliability, slimness and they're not even that expensive.
The only real reason to buy a Rolex or Tudor over something like this or a San Martin is the resale value. But if you buy watches to, like, you know, wear and enjoy, then the "value for money" proposition of these types stomps over Rolex, Tudor, Omega, all those guys. Don't buy watches as investments.
I've learned over the last 5 years of Watch collecting buy Watches that make you proud of them & make you feel good about yourself I've never felt that way about a cheap watch.
Reminds me of a benyar from 2020, still on their website, so l believe the case is stock .The winding stem is a stock one too. So take away the £55 miyota movement and that's a very expensive bracelet you have bought 😂

They sometimes have sales with 30% off which makes this watch amazing value if you are interested and can wait!
Bracelets with micro adjustments, half-links, and a button clasp, should be the norm by now.
Literally the ONLY reason I didn't immediately order this watch after this video.
@@SecronSeven Have you found an alternative?
@@iammeweareyou not at this price point no
Am glad you like the watch mate. As you know, I feel it’s a quality offering, not perfect but very good. Thanks for the shoutout too and as ever, great video 👍👍
More perfect than the tudor it seems
wish you make it 100m WR and with half.links (and please a smaller logo, this one eates the dial), for me is a next, best wishes

I watch your vids on a 55 inch 4k andoid tv. The upgraded footage and macros are superb (and the hairs on your arm are really really clear 😊).
lol…thanks
@@ilikewatchesYeah I wouldn't know what to say either 🤣
I loved that misaligned lume pip on Tudor, it made my day 😂😂😂
Is the 48mm lug to lug the maximum length including the bracelet links not curving down or just the case?
UPDATE Oct 2024. I just took delivery (200 quid) and it includes a half link! (one male-female link)
Ok, no one? I’m gonna say it. I think this is the first video with a woman in the thumbnail (?)
My wife didn't seem to mind me using her picture....
Ohhh, dark hair blue eyes. It's Friday all over again.
I thought he put Kate Middleton on 😂

I would love to see a side by side comparison with the PRX/Tsuyosa/ and any other integrated bracelet watches you still have on hand.
Nice looking watch. The crown though...
Bit of an oversite to not have the 'mosaic' radial dial lines with the same spacing as the minute markers.
Gorgeous dial
Yup, they've done a nice job!

I dont like the handset and the dial seems empty especially with the thin bezel

You were "gutted" by the lack of half links. Oh the drama. Nice watch and review.

Great looking. Great value but I’m afraid it might not fit properly.
Ahh that's a good looking value watch. I have a miyota, but it's 90S5 absolutely amazing I get 1- 3 sec a day . Tisell pilot watch
40% off for Father's day, I just picked this one up for $220 delivered. Still no half links though.
This video was really enlightening. We pay a lot of money for quality finishing, and the big boys are being outdone.
3:33 Zelos take a good look at this brand and model, using miyota but still going >13mm thick is mind boggling
endlink to endlink dimension?
Dimensions are on the screen
@@ilikewatches Thanks Gary! I was wondering if that was a lug-to-lug dim or endlink to endlink. seems like the endlinks are fixed making it wear bigger like a prx. Thank you sir!
Lume and 50m let the side down given the great bracelet finishing
Interesting watch. . They only make 38mm in automatics though, too small for my wrists. If there was even a 40mm it would be fine
Why would they space the radial lines on the dial at any angle other than 6 degrees, which would have aligned those lines with the minute markers? Why? Such a missed opportunity!
I like my watches big, heavy, fancy with skeleton face and exhibition back.
That way, I can see it working and know I got my money's worth.
Very nice
I think you're helping them sell watches! I see they've sold 8 in 24 hours :P
Dang it I wouldn’t have mind paying extra for a sapphire crystal 😢
No half links, wouldn't even consider it
Yup, i did let them know it's an issue
Gift it. It's 250 pounds
I have to say, you look alot more attractive in the thumbnail.
😂
Love it❤
I don’t like the dial. Apart from that I guess it’s ok.
But as far I can see.. All the links in this bracelet are half links! Looks like no option to half links.
Then we need to start to talk about what is full size link and half links.. 👀🤔
7-10mm is full sized imo
At 0:56, it's a nice-looking watch, but the fitment of the end links looks like 💩
Luring the people in with that thumbnail huh? ;)
Are you suggesting that having an attractive female to look at makes a difference to how many red blooded men would watch a video :)
@@ilikewatches yes! 😂
Oh….well I never…
Why did Netflix take this great drama off there channel.Absoulalty love this drama ShinSe Klung my no 1 korean actress,the male lead never did see him in any other dramashame good sctor and so cute.
No idea but you've commented on a channel for watches.🙂
Nice watch,looks a little to a royal oak homage or prx...but nice

bro said wh*re.... no ads for you!
Hate this type of watch 😂
I demand half-links because I'm a halfwit.
Lol

Is that your wife in the thumbnail?
Girlfriend, wife said no to being in it
Are you wearing a Rolex or is that a Makydo 😂
I've learned over the last 5 years of Watch collecting buy Watches that make you proud of them & make you feel good about yourself I've never felt that way about a cheap watch.
Except the Exciton #11 & Sea-Gull 1963
Good looking from afar but far from looking good (up close)...
Reminds me of a benyar from 2020, still on their website, so l believe the case is stock .The winding stem is a stock one too. So take away the £55 miyota movement and that's a very expensive bracelet you have bought 😂
Benyar have plated cases this is way way better
What an ungly watch
