Heya! Much appreciate the viewership and hope you enjoyed, I will just say that I'm 18 in full time education, I can't afford to buy every single watch I make a video on (don’t worry I have contacts that have owned each and every one and are a reliable source of information for quality as they are either watchmakers or doing a watchmaking course) and even if I could I don't have the time to take my own footage with an expensive camera and lighting either, it's an impossibility for me currently so either l use others footage or I don't make videos that's just how it is I'm afraid- I would like to make it my own footage in the future however, but that won’t be for a while As for the footage some people I have asked and gotten the green light, others I haven’t however I have credited them and under RUclips’s policy unless they explicitly state that I can’t use it that’s fine as they are credited. There will be little information and tid bits of information I got wrong, I’m human and don’t have the time to watch the video over 10 times to check for mistakes before posting haha! Have a lovely week, and I hope to see you again soon :)
Dang, harsh comment section. I don’t know what’s up y’all’s butts, but I found this video extremely helpful and informative, which I suspect was its primary purpose. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Thanks about that one mate! Sadly in every scenario there’s going to be people being rude or critical for no reason but hey that’s fine, human nature im all for it! Always nice to see a comment like yours though :)
Nice review. I have two of these: the Addiesdive AD2118 and the Pagani Design PD1731 and both perform well, look good, and are a great price. I placed leather straps on each and wear them in my rotation. Excellent buys! I have two Tandorios on their way. One is their titanium field watch and worth a look (@ $55) for anyone that is still perusing the sale options.
Nope I make £0 on this video other than ad revenue, which is close to nothing, and I have no relations or sponsorship with a single brand and I haven’t even affiliate linked them in the description :) So no, this is in no way a paid promotion and if it was I’d say it was like my 3 videos on microbrands I have done previously. Don’t assume things you know nothing about my friend, and have a good Easter!
This was super helpful as I am newly obsessed with watches and just recently have ordered my first watch from AliExpress and everything was super easy...so, I found some watches on your list to purchase and also follow.
Pfft! I can’t tell from the pictures honestly, bezel looks like it could be a Kermit, a hulk or a Starbucks depending on lighting xD Appreciate the comment lad!
I’m 18 in full time education, I can’t afford to buy every single watch I make a video on and even if I could I don’t have the time to take my own footage with an expensive camera and lighting either, it’s an impossibility for me currently so either I use others footage or I don’t make videos that’s just how it is I’m afraid, I would like to make it my own footage in the future however Also for most of the people I’ve asked personally and know them, for a few I don’t know I have still credited them in the video and under RUclips’s policy unless they explicitly state not to use their footage that’s fine if you credit them! Sorry about it but I can’t help it for the moment
I have for most of them and some I haven’t but I have friends who do, I know most of those who I borrowed footage from personally so don’t worry I can confirm all these are genuinely good value!
I go for Seestern s435 this time, think it's great value. Bought Seestern once, it's a homage to 62MAS, great quality, great value. It lately becomes my favourite worn. Thanks for review, easy to grasp and understand. I will consider San Martin next.
They’re all incredible value, San Martin in terms of quality are up there in the $800-1200 price range but are only 200-300 bux, incredible for the cash! I’d say San Martin and Ixdao are the highest quality of the aliexpress watches ;)
Bravo for including Tandorio. I have the 36mm mid 70s Hamilton/CWC W10 homage and a 39mm A-dial Flieger, both well below USD 60 with NH35A. They are both beautifully simple, good for any occasion, and fantastic time keepers, almost like quartz, and I laugh at 15000 dollar Swiss "chronometers" OH, minor niggle: the GMT calibre by TMI/Hattori/Seiko is the NH34, NOT a 35!
No I don’t, I think it’s important to talk about good quality options that people with a low budget can get, outside of these watches only the old series seiko 5 and stuff like second hand orient or timex are available in this price range which aren’t very good. I think it’s good to cover more of a market, as for the reason I made this video specifically it’s only due to the aliexpress sale being on, that’s all
Quality is a 5/10, but value is a 10/10. They’ve as good as a seiko 5 for 50-100 and the San Martin and Ixdao are as good as most 1,000 watches at only 200
I’m sorry lad I’ll have to do that another time I’ve been so busy I could barely get the video out on time it took like 8 hours! I’ll add it another time don’t ya worry
@@WatchConnoisseurClubwell from my crazy 🤪 mind I buy alll I want just chose as well what I really like to wear …..not just buy wear one -2 time then stay in package 📦
So you don’t like the fact that someone speaks the way they grammatically should because you’re from a place with different pronunciations? I’m British, this is how we pronunciation these words lol
@@WatchConnoisseurClub I think, as a native speaker, the criticism is justified. 'The' should be pronounced with an unstressed 'shwa' sound (look it up if you don't know what that is), 'thee' is only used when it's followed by a vowel sound or to give extra stress, which most of the times is not the case in this video. Also, 'a' is largely unstessed (again with a 'shwa'' sound) in everyday speech, so quite unlike the way you do here. Please take criticism as it is intended, for improving your presentation. Taking it personally is quite immature.
@@basilpeewit3350 actually it depends on where you come from for where it’s pronounced, also I did take it personally as he was benign immature, he could’ve said “Just to say, the is pronounced as “thuh” not “thee”, and a is pronounced as “ah” not “ei” Instead he said I was hugely irritating, so yeah I’m gonna take offence to that lol it’s common sense
Mate, I never said YOU were irritating (although your puerile responses are beginning to make me think differently), but certain aspects of your pronunciation. You're in full time education? Well, there is still a lot of educating to do, but I'm not sure it will be very successful if you are as cocky as you prove yourself to be here. Cheers!

Some of them think they're better than us because their watches doesn't come from AE, but I can't understand why they come here to whine.
Completely agree
Hulk is full green. Kermit or Starbucks is the one with green bezel and black dial.
My apologies! I forget with all the nicknames
@@WatchConnoisseurClub Well, who really cares....stupid nicknames
The Seestern is not a copy of DOXA but of Glashütte Original.
Yeah I got muddled up in the script I originally had the Doxa homepage in the script and read it wrong lol, but that seestern is just as gorgeous!
Nice review. I have two of these: the Addiesdive AD2118 and the Pagani Design PD1731 and both perform well, look good, and are a great price.

Lovely! Hope you’re pleased with them once they arrive :)
Great list thx
All of those watches are " INCREDIBLE ". 🤣🤣🤣
I wonder. Do you get paid for every " INCREDIBLE " separately or is it a bulk buy ?
Nope I make £0 on this video other than ad revenue, which is close to nothing, and I have no relations or sponsorship with a single brand and I haven’t even affiliate linked them in the description :)
So no, this is in no way a paid promotion and if it was I’d say it was like my 3 videos on microbrands I have done previously.

How can the Seestern GMT have a nh35 movement? A nh 34 possibly?
Yeah my bad, easy mess up but I’m sure you all got what I mean!
That seestern is GO seaq homage
My apologies I had the xript a bid muddled up and got confused, originally it was meant to be the Doxa homage!
@@WatchConnoisseurClub all good in the hood bro!😎
@@nedflanders3769 good luck with the work/school week lad!
@@WatchConnoisseurClub thanks! Back to work tomorrow 😜

Well done. Nice to have a new voice and perspective.
And always nice to have a lovely comment, much appreciated and glad you enjoyed!
Dude how can you call a Kermit a Hulk?
Pfft! I can’t tell from the pictures honestly, bezel looks like it could be a Kermit, a hulk or a Starbucks depending on lighting xD
Appreciate the comment lad!
Also that pfp is on point lmao, awesome
He went to Starbucks too often :D
@@WatchConnoisseurClub I think it's that the Hulk has a green dial/green bezel, while Kermit and Starbucks have a black dial/green bezel
Not sure how i feel about you taking other channel's video footage.
I’m 18 in full time education, I can’t afford to buy every single watch I make a video on and even if I could I don’t have the time to take my own footage with an expensive camera and lighting either, it’s an impossibility for me currently so either I use others footage or I don’t make videos that’s just how it is I’m afraid, I would like to make it my own footage in the future however
Also for most of the people I’ve asked personally and know them, for a few I don’t know I have still credited them in the video and under RUclips’s policy unless they explicitly state not to use their footage that’s fine if you credit them!
Sorry about it but I can’t help it for the moment
I like your taste and price point. I like that you usually select watches with date.
I like to only select watches I myself would personally buy! And much appreciate the comment, glad you enjoyed!
Steeldive Submariner needs to retire magnifier glass. I have one.
Hm? Don’t quite understand what you’re saying there lad!
I got rid of it with a torch lighter. Looks cleaner with much better symmetry
I agree. Its a great watch apart from the cyclops
Have you actually handled any of these watches, as all your footage is from other reviewers?
I have for most of them and some I haven’t but I have friends who do, I know most of those who I borrowed footage from personally so don’t worry I can confirm all these are genuinely good value!
Good call on the bullshit 👍
Absolutely need that Chinese character San Martin!
Nice list, appreciate your work
And I appreciate your comment, many thanks!

The S435 is superior to the S434 that is on display here
I have the Seestern GMT on the way right now - I got the teal version. Can’t wait!
Very exciting! It’s an incredible piece, congrats my man!

My apologies! And lovely pic up :D
I just bought on presale the Boderry Admiral GMT 200M Titanium for $125.10. The pics look great. We see how it is when it arrives.
Hope you enjoy it!
Got a sub 🎉
U guys need to get the San Martin SN004. I ordered the Milsub for 170$USD.
Do you get paid to make Ali Express videos?
No I don’t, I think it’s important to talk about good quality options that people with a low budget can get, outside of these watches only the old series seiko 5 and stuff like second hand orient or timex are available in this price range which aren’t very good.

The Hulk is green on green. Green and black is the Starbucks (or Kermit).
You really have no idea what you are talking about
Then educate me random internet keyboard warrior :)
Great video and list!!! 🤘
Much appreciated
I Agree the Steeldive is the best Subby homage for the price. But I hate watches with short hands like most Casios, or without a date window.
Well to each their own! Luckily there’s a million homages which are mostly of very good quality to pick from 😁
Pagani PD1731 i never saw anywhere for usd 20. Send me the link. Ive never seen any Pagani for usd 20.
Another great video ,tell me please Rudi,what is the raport between quality-price from these watches ?
Quality is a 5/10, but value is a 10/10.
They’ve as good as a seiko 5 for 50-100 and the San Martin and Ixdao are as good as most 1,000 watches at only 200
@@WatchConnoisseurClubwow ❤ you’re good 😊 thank you 🙏
Hi,where can I pickup the addiesdive AD2118 for $80?
Pagani Design PD1731, the price is not 20, you have to double up, it's 35/40 ali have minimun at 39
Incredible...
Yeah value proposition is pretty insane haha
This is a great listing of watches. Not providing links to them is not great. Kind of lazy if you ask me.
I’m sorry lad I’ll have to do that another time I’ve been so busy I could barely get the video out on time it took like 8 hours! I’ll add it another time don’t ya worry
Did anyone ask you?
Yes, they did matter of fact.

Now this is the watch channel I've been waiting for. Good affordable watches.... except for Invicta
Pfft the invicta pro diver is pretty good but other then that they’re pretty horrid haha
Seestern GMT with sn nh35?
Nope!!
