    Chinese watches are an incredible value! What you get for your money is amazing. People that still think Chinese watches are just cheap pieces of junk, don't know what they're talking about. Because of China, there has never been a better time to be an affordable watch collector. This watch is a perfect example of that.

    Just to explain the name: IXDAO means "九纛“. "九“ is number 9 (that's why IX) and "纛“ pronouces as "Dao" in Chinese, which means the emblem flag of ancient empire.

      IX DAO is a translation of 九纛 (9 banners), itself an abbreviation of 九游白纛 (Nine White banners, a symbol of the might of Mongol Empire)

    Just got mine today. Went with the SW200 version since it was on sale. The crown action is still pretty gritty and hard to screw which I hoped to avoid with the SW. My first impression is that it’s a pretty neat watch but what I noticed under direct lightning is that the polished sides on the bracelet links are quite inconsistent when looked very close. On mine, the largest link that connects to the case has one bevel quite wider than the other side. Hard to notice from a normal distance but it’s there. The case on the other hand seems pretty perfect. Love the AR on these. Overall pretty solid watch for the price.

    Best part is this, at *$300ish is 4,000% LESS than the IWC @ $12,000!!!* I just spent good time comparing this to the real IWC and besides the crown being a bit small (come on, make it at least 6mm) its *SO* close to the IWC in finishing, details, case back, dial, you name it that its scary. I am DEFINITELY picking this up in the next sale (11/11?)! Best I've seen in a long while. Thanks for the great review.

    I got the SW200 version in the last mini sale. Was only a little more than the PT5000. The finishing is unbelievable. Rivals my Direnzo. Glad you picked up on the sharp under case. My only criticism, along with the small crown, is still functional but just a little small. But overall this is an amazing watch for the price. Have to say this is the best finished AliExpress watch I have bought and I have quiet a few San Martin’s and Sugess etc. Can get past the brand name with this level of craftsmanship.

      The interesting thing is, that when a product is really really good you begin associate the name with quality and start to not care about how it sounds - no matter how odd it is. If you're older you would remember when Japanese company names were considered very strange, now names like Toyota, Honda, Seiko, Sony etc are synonymous with quality. It's all in our heads

    With an integrated bracelet with a butterfly clasp they need to put some half links on the bracelet to get a good fit for everyone! Else a very nice watch .

    • @TheWatcherReviews
      @TheWatcherReviews  Год назад +2

      Yeh perhaps, i didnt pick up on that because i found a perfect fit on my 6.5" wrist and usually my wrist is quite difficult to get a snug fit from normal bracelets. But totally valid point

    • @thegorn
      @thegorn Год назад +3

      Keep spreading the word. Half-links are so important on butterfly clasps. Also I think are a must for oyster style bracelets and I would dearly love them for some of my San Martins. They are not necessary for jubilee, beads of rice or even "engineer" bracelets, since the individual links are much shorter. I measured my San Martin oyster and it has 10mm link sections and I think the OTF microadjustment clasp gives exactly the same if not a little shorter, so I'm either with the link in, and adjusted all the way in, or link out, and adjusted all the way out. It's a bit frustrating because it renders the OTF adjustment clasp almost useless without half-links.

    • @bangkokbullmoto

  • @thegorn
    @thegorn Год назад +15

    Most AliX brands are very conservative when it comes to changing the Swiss design. What I like about San Martin is that they listen to feedback and are not afraid to change things up. Sometimes it doesn't work, but most times it's a great improvement. I would like to see them homage this, but with a bigger crown as you suggested, and also remove the crown guards altogether! The original Gerald Genta design didn't have crown guards, and I think it looks better without them. The crown guards look like such an afterthought. I reckon Genta would have a fit if he saw his design with crown guards slapped on. Please do this San Martin! :)
    Also for a watch this good, I think it deserves the SW200 movement upgrade, since this one's a keeper.

  • @dunderhay9169

    Integrated bracelet watches really need an on the fly clasp, a butterfly clasp is just too much of a gamble for fit. Great review as always.

    • @vonkruel
      @vonkruel Год назад +1

      I get along just fine with a well done butterfly clasp, but that kind of clasp needs half-links unless the removable links are already quite short. If they provide half-links, I don't know what would stop me from buying one of these anymore.

  • @watch-box
    @watch-box Год назад +5

    Not my style of watch - but there's no denying its a fantastic quality, and a steal for the price - do yourself a favour and get the SW200 upgrade, I think if the style is one you like, you will be keeping the watch for a long time.
    I'm looking forward to what comes next, theyve barely put a foot wrong so far - great watches at very good prices.
    IXDAO are great news for us watch buyers. Someone to push San Martin on design, build quality, and value for money can only be a goof thing.

  • @multipl3

    I wonder whether these Aliexpress brands are so affordable simply because they are still niche? They will not be able to compete with fashion quartz brands that people buy or are gifted. Im still trying hard to educate people that £150 - £250 isnt alot to pay for a quality automatic. But these people will never pay more than £70 from shops like Argos or H Samuel....

    • @thegorn
      @thegorn Год назад +10

      Supply and Demand. I have come from the big brands having owned Omega, Rolex, Breitling, Tudor, Heuer and JLC. In March I saw some RUclipsr talking up the San Martin SN0107 and there was a sale on, so on a whim I bought it, thinking I'd check it out then gift it to my nephew. Fast forward about 7 months and I now own 4 San Martins, 2 Steeldives, 1 Seestern, 1 Boderry and 1 Thorn. There are at least 2 other San Martins I can see myself getting, as well as this IXDAO. I have sold my Omega and Rolex. Am selling my Breitling, Tudor and Heuer (heritage reissue). I will keep the JLC, as my one token Swiss piece. But I'm basically all-in with the better Chinese brands, peppered with a very small selection of microbrands (Ginault, Christopher Ward, Zelos, Erebus).
      8 months ago I wouldn't be seen dead wearing a Chinese watch. Now I own 9 haha. Once the mainstream catches on that the Chinese have turned the corner on quality, I think demand will shoot up, which will put upwards pressure on prices.

    • @bangkokbullmoto
      @bangkokbullmoto Год назад

      What drew me in was the ability to buy a Seiko engined Chinese watch pretty much direct from the factory, seems the best of both worlds. Now they have moved the game up with Swiss movements like the SW200, so probably £300 in the sale versus say a grand for CW with the same movement and crazy money for some of the Swiss brands.@@thegorn

    I got mine a few weeks ago. Same color. Totally agree with your assessment. Crazy nice for the $, even with the small crown and rough action. With the stiffness the PT5000 wind, I do find it helps to just wind it10-15 turns rather than fully. The crown threads in with a little less resistance then. The movement is still winding whilst screwing it back in on this movement.

      The thing is CW is really well thought out and all aspects are done really well due to their end cost, this is finished as good with just the bottom of the case profile which is edgy and wasn't bevelled.

    Is this the same case that the hrudland is using? They have the sw200 available for even less, around the 350 dollar mark, maybe even cheaper during the sale, and a MoP dial. You think it would have just as good of quality finishing?
    I think there is a vh31 quartz models also being offered by a different company cant remember the name, a random brand selling for under 100, advertising it's high quality finish, think they have the same case finishing? Would be insane if it was.

    I love the watch. I'm really put off by the odd jumble of letters that it uses as "branding".... Just a logo design would be good, or to get help from native English speakers.... "engineer" also feels pretty clunky as a name, But that's not a deal breaker. A simple 'automatic' would be better. Chinese characters instead of English though not my preference) would be better.... If they must brand it with a brand name and a model name. That might be the kind of thing that bugs me and I can't get out of my mind and I just see it every time I looked at the watch face. It does look like a really nice piece though! Thanks for the review

    It may seem irrelevant to most but the random brand names of these Chinese watches. There are several times I would have ordered one if it wasn't for the unpronounceable or just plain dumb brand names like "mysterious code" or Pargne. I wish they'd just come up with a brand name, produce watches with consistent branding and logos that will eventually begin to gain some history and reputation.

      I used to be exactly like you, I hated most of the names but what I've found, is as the years have gone by and I have gotten used to them, they all sound normal to me now. I don't even give them a second thought. Most names sound normal to us because we have heard them our whole life but if not and we were hearing them for the first time, they would sound weird too. I guarantee you, if you had never heard the word or knew anything about the brand and hype, Rolex would have sounded weird.

      My point is, okay it sounds a little weird now. Eventually after hearing it over and over for an extended period of time it will sound normal. Think of all the brands makes of companies and products from Japan and Germany and many other countries. All of those names/words sounded perfectly normal when you first heard them. I guarantee you there are many brand names that you have seen for years that you are still mispronouncing today.

    They won't but it would have been nice to see a dial with just their logo and not name. Also the 'Engineer' type mimicking the 'Ingenieur' just makes it look like a cheap knockoff. Like having 'Waytona' or 'Hubmariner'. Quality looks great though but these things make it a no for me.
