  • Thank you very much to BOLDR for giving me this watch to enjoy, have in my collection and share with you.
    If you are interested in this watch or any others from their range I will leave a link to their website below:
    www.boldrsuppl...
    Thank you so much for WATCHing my video and I hope that you check out all my other content.
    I release 3 videos per week, all watch related, including reviews, first impressions and general watch related topics.
    I try very hard to diversify my content as well and will feature big known watch brands, microbrands as well as Aliexpress watches.
    The majority of the watches I feature are in the affordable range but I do try and get some less affordable watches as well.
    Most of the watches that I feature I have bought with my own money. I buy them to enjoy and wear but I also to feature them on this channel.
    Being a smaller channel it is challenging to cover the cost of all the watches that I buy and partly because of this I have become an affiliate member with a number of companies including Aliexpress, Ashford.com and Jomashop.
    If you are looking for watches from well known brands then it is worth checking out:
    www.ashford.com
    www.jomashop.com
    As an affiliate member I may leave affiliate links in the descriptions of videos. These links will direct you to the watches that I’ve experienced, reviewed and would certainly recommend. If you choose to use those links I will earn a very small commission.
    Thank you very much if you choose to use those links.
    Below are affiliate links for my absolute favorite watches on Aliexpress. Each of them I have owned and had positive experiences with the stores that they are linked to.

    A really great watch from Boldr

    It’s a great watch. I know their watches are well made, but they are definitely skirting the line of affordability. Thanks for the great review as always.

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  10 месяцев назад +2

      It is a really nice watch. The price is definitely a little higher than some
      Competitors.
      But when you have it in hand you realise how well it is made and the price makes a lot more sense.

    Hi James. I haven’t caught one of your videos for a while and I really like the changes you’ve made. Your opening and ending sections are great. Love the new environment and lighting, and as always very well said and put together. Keep it up buddy. 👍👍

    I love that petrol blue dial and the lume that fits well with it. I've stopped thinking of it as fauxtina and more of just a well put together colour match.
    Also, as being new to the hobby, I had similar thoughts on high(er) priced NH movement watches but now see that there's more to it than just that aspect. Fairly cheap, reliable and bullet proof movement that allows brands to pack in other features. It would be nice if they regulated them closer to +/-5s a day though, surely can't be hard to do in a dial up and crown down position

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  10 месяцев назад +1

      That is a great way to look at watches. I am finding that my exploit pricing can be dramatically distorted due to the amazing low prices of some microbrands and AliExpress.
      So I am trying to look at each watch individually and see how I feel about them.

    Really nice watch! I was looking at the Boldr voyage and the Boldr Venture. Definitely thinking about getting one. James my wife gifted me a Circula Ptotrail automatic watch for my birthday. I love it. I never heard of the brand but it’s a beautiful watch . I believe it’s a German made watch company. It has Sellita SW 200-1 Elaboré Grade movement and it’s really well made. I really love the looks and the feel of this watch. Have you ever heard of this brand . Would love to get your thoughts on this brand. God bless and take care.

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  10 месяцев назад +1

      I had not heard of them. They look great. I really like German watches. They seem to make great quality and good looking pieces.

  • @gerard8174
    @gerard8174 10 месяцев назад +3

    I like everything about it except that thickness, the case is just too bulky for my taste. Very handsome dial though.

    • @dunderhay9169
      @dunderhay9169 10 месяцев назад +1

      You summed up my thoughts exactly 👍. I have an Invicta 1953 that is 14+mm thick and it it lets that watch down, at £100 I can live with it, but not at £350.

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  10 месяцев назад +2

      You do notice the thickness a bit on wrist which is a little disappointing. But the bracelet balances it well so it sits great on wrist.

    when is it expensive for a watch with a selitta 200 😉 always hear that a nh 35 max must cost 350 dollars

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  10 месяцев назад +1

      I find pricing a little bit confusing. I think it is because my expectations have been distorted by AliExpress and microbrands.
      So instead I am trying to look at each watch individually and see how it feels to me.

    I can't make sense of that case back image at all. Is that someone wearing a Roman helmet dunking a wasp nest under the water?

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  10 месяцев назад +1

      I’ve had the same thought. It is not the most obvious image.

      That’s disappointing to hear. I had not heard of any negative experiences with the company before.

  • @sivanstar
    @sivanstar 10 месяцев назад +2

    I really like boldr designs but i think their watches are overpriced.
    I know its not the best thing to compare between brands but you can get a zelos for far less money and as of microbrands i think zelos are well made and priced accordingly. You can even get a helm for far less..

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  10 месяцев назад +2

      Im getting confused with pricing and my expectations of pricing.
      When you compare watches with AliExpress or micros it makes many feel over priced.
      But then I think about watches from Rolex or other luxury brands and see how they are priced.
      All very confusing

      @WATCHingJames  9 месяцев назад +2

      What are you using to listen to it?
      I ask because I’ve been putting a lot of effort into the sound.
      A professional microphone and a custom build sound dampened studio.
      I am still trying to improve the sound. But not as easy as it sounds. (No pun intended)
