Starting the channel running I see, came here from the reddit post and am surprised how small your channel is and how good the review is, if you keep at it with this quality I can see you getting very big.
Thank you very much for the wholesome words and feedback! Thanks for the motivation, means a lot to me, especially now in the beginning of this journey
That wrist shot in the sun was simply stunning! Really brings the gold colour to life. I love that they're doing these homages that others aren't, they must have done 7 by now and all of them have been well done. And that bracelet... wow. Great review and really enjoyed the closeups with the optical zooms. I agree about maybe adding a half index at 3, but other than that, I really can't find a fault with it.
I saw THAT sneaky little Shiba 7 times from beginning to the VERY end! Love the attention to detail that you put into your reviews! Newer subscriber here, but I really appreciate how you do your reviews! Well done.
Thank you very much for the feedback man, its really heartwarming to hear my efforts being appreciated! And welcome to the family, feel free to reach out to me regarding anything revolving watches! Best of luck 😄
It has held up like most gold plated jewellery, no issues yet with mine, but they will fade over time though, atleast rest assured its real Stainless Steel underneath and not some nasty alloy. But if you want this for a loong time, I always recommend no gold plating regardless of plating quality 😉
Thanks Rio for THAT detailed review and macro shots, really appreciate the 7 details you mentioned, like colour matching date wheel etc. I purchased the gold, absolutely ❤️ the 222 look, will order the SS soon for more daily wear. For me, The delivery time from the February sale was a very long time and with no tracking details, but it did arrive and I’m very happy. My negative comment is for the joining of the links two links down from the case, (on each side) they are a little loose and show a gap when on wrist compared to the other links, on a 7 inch wrist..
Ask how much you want brother ✌️ It would be easiest for me to evaluate if you could measure the width of your wrist, I showed in the video on how to do that
Just found your channel and love your review! I really liked the finishing section, especially with how many really good macro shots you included. I think I counted 8 shibes (I love that you picked a shibe, their my favorite dogs!)
Thanks for review. Good macro shots. Did not expect to see gold butterfly clasp. But I'm afraid, will it fit slim wrists? Seems like the bracelet is not very flexible, and also adjustment step is quite large.
This is a pretty cool watch, I really enjoy the format in which you do your reviews! Although this model isn't my favourite, your video on the 2215 homage was the last nail in the coffin that made me get one for myself. That watch is the 7th watch to my collection and it's also the one that I've been wearing most as of recent. Love from Canada
Yes their previous bracelets was worse, but for this model it certainly has improved but its not like thier PRX bracelets. Even the original 222 doesnt drape fully by design. Personally I am lucky to have a bigger wrist so it hasnt been an issue, but there are certainly lots who didnt get a proper fit :/ Anyway, welcome to the channel brother! :D
Awesome and thorough video review! Thanks for adding a shot in natural daylight, it helps to get a good impression of the color. Im rating that video a 7/7 :)
Always a professional channel with very high marks for the presentation and in depth multi faceted reviews. I appreciate your outstanding hard work with detailed covered areas in your reviews dear friend Rio. As to the watch I am not convinced that it would likely be one in my wide collection of watches, I do however have one Nautilus green dial and another Nautilus model with the mother of pearl that it is in transit shipment to me. GBY dear friend Rio. Your mind and perspective fully well aligned to produce greatness for others to grasp and to learn how they can also apply to great extend many good positive achievements while observing and applying what the learn from you..
Its quite legible since it has a bend in the middle it will always reflect light on either side. But I would have loved gold with deep black dial personally 👌
That more curvature to the links really does add something to the design that takes it above the old 7/10 bracelet from before. Enjoyed the video, the detail zoom in was very nice, and the comparisons really added a lot there as well.
Ah I understand, maybe it is best to wait around until I get the chance to try it on my friend and report back. Perhaps you could measure your wrist width and tell me how much you have And good luck in the giveaway🥳🥳
Just purchased this after seeing your review from the same seller. Was reluctant at first since I saw 2-3 people that didn't receive their order, but I hope it will be sent to Romania with no problems. Got the stainless steel with green dial. Really eager to rock this. Thanks for the in-depth review! That shiba is a 7 out of 10 😅
I want a silver steel version aswell! Not as delicate having no plating to care for, the failed shipments was all refunded and it was because of Chinese Holidays I was told, there should be no problems getting your watch in time 😉🙏 Best of Luck 🥳
@@RIOLOGY thought the same about the regular stainless not needing any babying around. That being said, thank you for your reply about them being on vacation... really put my heart at ease after making the payment 😂. Now the stress will be about the way the watch will fit...my wrist is about 54 mm from side to side. Worrying that those links being quite large, there won't be room for any finer adjustments. For reference, my wrist is 6,5-6.6 inches around. Cheers! Subscribed and wishing you a lot of followers. Would like to see what other watch brands you keep in high praise.
@@SerialWheeler fine adjustment is not easy you are correct, heard from the seller he might consider making half links, so if you get a bad fit then message him and ask to get one when available 😉 54mm side to side should be no issues at all 👌
@@RIOLOGY Just received the silver variant with green dial. Love the finishing. Looks extremely sharp 😮. Fits perfectly. You should definitely follow-up on a silver case. The only problem I had was with the movement (it keeps freezing for a while, so I need to poke the battery out and then carefully put it back together). I do think I'll be able to fix it tomorrow once I clean it thoroughly. Another point with problem are the links. Fine tuning is really bad, but I got lucky, removing 4 out of 6 links. BEWARE of the pins holding the links. On one side of the watch you had to push in the opposite direction of what the arrows on the links were showing 😂.
@@SerialWheeler Nice! I want the Blue in Silver case, the green one is also gorgeous but most of my clothing goes with blue better. Glad you got a good fit! Hahaha yeah cant even trust the instructions nowadays 😂 Well good thing you noticed, mine didnt even have arrows at all lol
When I search for this watch or press your link, it looks like the dial is darker gold then yours in this video. That gives me fears to order, because yours looks better.
Hi bro, If it is the flat dial (version 1) then it will have the same color as mine, but with a matching datewheel aswell. If it is a sand dial (Version 2) then it will look a little different. I think the gold is sold out in Quartz, I think you are aiming at Automatic right?
I think That I’ve watched this video about 7 times 😉, I appreciate the effort you put into these reviews, not many people focus on reviewing aliexpress watches.
@@abereyrivera2512 indeed they still have it in stock, in the link below when you choose colors you will see the variant in the video with a cross and no wave pattern. They stopped producing them so get it now during the sale better than never 😉 s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Ewvc0tf
That review is different from all the other 7 reviews I've been subscribed to. That 7x magnifier is something I've only seen in this type of watch review content. Good watch. Great review.
That was a great review 7, many thanks. How easy was it to remove links? Have a 6.5 inch fairly flat wrist so i image i would need remove 3 or 4. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for the comment! So you will need to carefully hammer the pins out with the included tool, its a new type of pin, not split pins. The advantade of the new links is that they are much sturdier, helping the bracelet to last longer without getting hangy. Wasnt very hard for me to do personally, but you have to be careful to place the tool correctly before hammering, Best of luck! 😄
@@malikmuhammad3784 Hello my friend! Indeed many have faced the same issue during the november sale unfortunately. Make sure to not forget to add the coupon codes manually this time, you need to copy the codes and paste them at checkout 😊
Just discovered your channel, really loved the chill vibe of the video. The mismatch of the colour of the date wheel to the dial would definitely annoy me, so it gets Seven. With That said, hope you will review the new erebus ascent.
First and foremost, welcome to the family! ❤️ I will check up with Jody and see if he would like to collaborate with me, lovely guy that makes lively watches! ☺️ Best of Luck! 🥳
Totally agree! Havent seen something at this level for this price ever before. Well I'm sure I am going to be impressed again sometime in the future as everything improves with modern machinery ! Best of Luck 🥳
@@RIOLOGY I love the Maen manhattan but it’s too expensive for me rn.. This one would be an amazing alternative! I actually do prefer the date at 6 o clock position! And also the window frame is much nicer than the maen one. Unfortunately there are no videos about the blue and white dial version anywhere… Do you have the white/navy blue version and could make a short or review as well? Would absolutely appreciate it 😍
@@elaranja I love this S&S 2215 more than the Maen personally stylewise, cant comment on the quality of the Maen. However I did upload videos I got from a seller with the colors you are interested in: ruclips.net/p/PLgkZOFlhxuI2KCf068YPcx43iQqPJT2Xg Will update for all colors once I have more time. Enjoy friend!
Thanks for the in depth review of this beauty! I would love to you do a review of the automatic version as well. It would be amazing if the company made 7 different dial colors of this watch. Keep up the good work 🫡
I like the yellowish date window, it seems to match the colour of the watch nicely. I typically am not into gold watches like that one, but I 'd probably wear some real gold ones if I made seven times the annual income!
I have a watch roll with 7 spaces and this watch would be a perfect addition to the collection! Specht & Söhne offers a very competitive price that the other brands cant match. Great review!
Don't have any GMT watch yet, that blue dial or black + green one looks great. Also wasn't aware of That MAEN Manhattan homage yet, perhaps i'll have 7 watches in the weekly rotation soon..
Indeed I love the black/green GMT too, if I had chosen that color perhaps it wouldnt have been in the giveaway 😂 The Manhattan lookalike is really staying with me for life, I love it! Best of Luck 🥳
Really appreciate that finishing section and also the optical imperfections under the zoom, I feel like with budget watches, channels don’t always look at the negatives. Shame about the date window on the quartz, 7/10 for that, 9/10 for the NH35 :)
I first heard THAT a different brand was making 222 homage, but the random name it had really made it look a lot worse. I like their name as it just sounds nice. A great watch for the price. I saw THAT dog 7 times.
Great review. So nice to finally see someone measure the lug to lug inside the bracelet, as you say, the external measurement is irrelevant. I have to say, that San Martin didn't look 7 times better than the 222.
Great content. I definitely think you should spend time on the finishing. You clearly love watches at the level I love. Most of the other watch channels seem intent on going more premium. Keep up the good work. Bad joke for you. The seven dwarves were in a hot tub feeling happy. Then Happy got out so they felt Grumpy.
Love to hear your appreciation for my dedication, welcome to the family brother! Thanks for the feedback, will keep doing the finishing section for my future reviews 😊 Hahahaha that joke was so bad I laughed, hope you win the lottery 😂😂😂 Best of Luck! 🥳
a very good review, thank you. I was very sceptical to buy it a first but with the explanation that you have given in the video - i am less worried. Anyway, off i go , its 7 am in here.
Yes I really try to make it as objective as possible when reviewing, I am looking to improve with every video! Thanks for your feedback and enjoy your day 😉 Best of Luck 🥳
@@macanohussein580 Hey friend, unfortunately it has been sold out I think, they are preparing for a new version that should come out within a month I hope 🥳
Great video as always! Great watch I wish I have 7 arms so I can buy that watch 7 times and wear all 7 of them at the same time😂 I appreciate that detailed finishing review hopefully you can also review Militado’s take on oyster 1926
Superb review, " that " close-up shot was super clean and helpful, really helped me determined to love the watch or not. I heard a lot of bad words about S&S, but you proved them wrong. Oh, there are 7 Shiba in the video (almost miss the last one LOL)
Yes all finished details help a lot when deciding to buy. Watch. Thanks for all the detailed shots. I need 7mm more on my wrist for this watch to fit 😆 but there is one I have my eyes 👀 on 😅 that is on the giveaway. Continue with your great work sir!!!
Hey I am happy to see that you came back :D Hahah good one and thanks for your support! I think I can guess which one it is ;) Good luck on the 10th of May! 🥳
I really really love this watch, i am a fan of the original VC 222 because there is just nothing like it on the market, and i love this one even more there are 7 things that stand out to me about this watch, First and foremost the price because while i may not be able to afford the original one 85 dollars are still justifiable, then the shape/look (in its faithfulness to the original), i really love the materials used especially at this price, then i love the butterfly clasp because in my opinion it just adds that small little bit of fanciness to it and the size is just so so amazing and i also really love the beehive look of the bracelet, i dont think ive seen it anywhere else, also the finishing is just immaculate especially at this price point andit just looks so so so good in gold
Fair points made there! If you want to have it for a long time then I recommend the non plated versions, because Gold plating always comes off with time on any watch Best of luck 🥳
Great video. I like that finishing section and love to see it in future videos. This is a great example for a Hommage watch that „copies“ something different to all the Rolex out ther. I wonder how this watch would look on my 7 inch wrist.🤔
Thanks for your feedback! Will include this finishing section in future videos for sure with all the positive feedback it has gotten 🤗 Yeah the R homages count for the majority of all homages it feels like Best of Luck! 🥳
Indeed it is! However the sad thing as with any gold plated watch is that it will go off in a couple years with heavy use. If the $84 is a lot to someone then I highly recommend the non plated versions as they will last much longer Good luck! 🥳
It is almost 7 times cheaper than the PRX but it is a good homege with a Seiko movement! And it is good that case is not 1 to 1 copy, it has some originality.
I think you've given me at least 7 reasons to like the S&S, despite some minuses, however, the one thing THAT I am drawn to has got to be the little etched logo which breaks up the symmetry
Nice to hear you like it! PS the cross logo is unfortunately getting dropped in future production, so if you like it go for it or if you dont like it wait around 😊
Great to see another passionate watch enthusiast on the scene; I’ve seen you around the Reddit r/ChineseWatches group. I’m sure that you will start picking up more subscribers with such great content and generous giveaways. When I first subscribed you only had 7 subs, now it’s in the hundreds. Also, what type of burger did you measure the endlink against?! 😂
Thank you deeply for the wholesame comment! And thank you for staying with this channel from a time where it was needed the most and continuing to do so! 💯 Hahaha excuse the conversion mistake, should be 0.07 burgers measuring by the imperial standard! Hahah glad you noticed 😂 Best of Luck! 🥳
Not available in automatic from the company website. In fact, a search of 'Imperial automatic' yielded 0 results. It is also interesting that this range of watches is buried in the site such that you would not even know they made it. This is also true of a few other models.
Yes I prefer to order from Aliexpress, its more convenient for me personally as the Aliexpress shipping method to my country take like 1-2 weeks only. If you can't find it on their website then check out the Aliexpress link: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Dn47JfF
Well that was an interesting review. Always been a fan of the Vacheron Constantin watches and I feel like I can finally pull the plug on this homage. That watch is about 70,000 Gbp so I'll stick to this one. I can definitely by 7 of these hahha
ive seen all of your specht and sohne reviews, you introduced me to that brand, this is undoubtedly their coolest homage, looks like it may fill spot number 7 in my watch case

It has held up like most gold plated jewellery, no issues yet with mine, but they will fade over time though, atleast rest assured its real Stainless Steel underneath and not some nasty alloy. But if you want this for a loong time, I always recommend no gold plating regardless of plating quality 😉
MY dude, how do i size the band? i keep pressni the tool into the little holes but nothing moves. any idea what i'm doing wrong ?

They require some force, try to carefully hammer the pin ✌️
Thanks Rio for THAT detailed review and macro shots, really appreciate the 7 details you mentioned, like colour matching date wheel etc.
I purchased the gold, absolutely ❤️ the 222 look, will order the SS soon for more daily wear.

Just a quick question, do you think it would fit well on my tiny 6.25 inch wrist?
Ask how much you want brother ✌️
It would be easiest for me to evaluate if you could measure the width of your wrist, I showed in the video on how to do that
@@RIOLOGY that would be roughly 53mm

I will check up with Jody and see if he would like to collaborate with me, lovely guy that makes lively watches! ☺️
Best of Luck! 🥳
That was a very excellent review. Easily 7 times more detailed than most other reviews!
Thanks for the excellent comment!
Best of luck!🥳
The watches seem to be a great choice 7 ! Especially price/value is great. I love that style also :)
Totally agree! Havent seen something at this level for this price ever before. Well I'm sure I am going to be impressed again sometime in the future as everything improves with modern machinery !
Best of Luck 🥳
@@RIOLOGY I love the Maen manhattan but it’s too expensive for me rn..
This one would be an amazing alternative! I actually do prefer the date at 6 o clock position! And also the window frame is much nicer than the maen one. Unfortunately there are no videos about the blue and white dial version anywhere…
Do you have the white/navy blue version and could make a short or review as well? Would absolutely appreciate it 😍
With this one I meant the brown/metal homage of the 2215 vacheron of one of your previous videos :)
@@elaranja I love this S&S 2215 more than the Maen personally stylewise, cant comment on the quality of the Maen.
However I did upload videos I got from a seller with the colors you are interested in:
ruclips.net/p/PLgkZOFlhxuI2KCf068YPcx43iQqPJT2Xg
Will update for all colors once I have more time.
Enjoy friend!
@@elaranja
Also some users has reported on the bracelet comfort, no issues for me as I have a 7 inch wrist, how big is your wrist?
Thanks for the in depth review of this beauty! I would love to you do a review of the automatic version as well. It would be amazing if the company made 7 different dial colors of this watch. Keep up the good work 🫡
Thank you for the wholesome feedback ❤️
I can't promise I will get the auto version, but maybe ☺️
And Good Luck! 🥳
I like the yellowish date window, it seems to match the colour of the watch nicely. I typically am not into gold watches like that one, but I 'd probably wear some real gold ones if I made seven times the annual income!
Thank you for the comment
And best of luck! 🥳
That is a nice looking watch. 7 times cheaper than other brands and still offering good specs. God thing they solved the date wheel color problem. 👍🏼
Thanks for the comment bro!
Best of luck! 🥳
Also if ordering the gold, make sure to message the seller first to verify that you get the updated version
Really nice looking watch, unfortunatey it is not available in our local (preferred) platform. Tnx for d review
Thanks for viewing and leaving a comment to the channel 😊
Is it amazon that is preferred? Maybe I can forward the information to the seller
love that homage to the 222 its been my grail watch for 7 years
That is an amazing watch, although I would rather have the date at 6 for symmetry. Thanks for the amazing video!
Thanks for your amazing comment!
Good luck! ;)
I have a watch roll with 7 spaces and this watch would be a perfect addition to the collection! Specht & Söhne offers a very competitive price that the other brands cant match. Great review!
Thanks a bunch man!
Best of Luck 🥳
That’s a very nice dress and elegant watch, cant wait to use it to fill a spot in my collection of 7 watches
Don't have any GMT watch yet, that blue dial or black + green one looks great. Also wasn't aware of That MAEN Manhattan homage yet, perhaps i'll have 7 watches in the weekly rotation soon..
Indeed I love the black/green GMT too, if I had chosen that color perhaps it wouldnt have been in the giveaway 😂
The Manhattan lookalike is really staying with me for life, I love it!
Best of Luck 🥳
Okay, I came here for a spectacle review and I left here being heavily impressed.
@@lahamada thank you for the feedback my friend, I am glad you enjoyed it 😊👌
how about lug width?
@@maniperek6750 i am traveling right now, I believe it was 25, but I will measure it when I get back home 😉
@@RIOLOGYplease tell me the lug size
Really appreciate that finishing section and also the optical imperfections under the zoom, I feel like with budget watches, channels don’t always look at the negatives. Shame about the date window on the quartz, 7/10 for that, 9/10 for the NH35 :)
Thanks alot for the feedback man!
And best of luck! 🥳
That watch looks 7 times more expensive than it is! Thanks for showing it.
Indeed it does to my eyes aswell!
Best of Luck 🥳
I first heard THAT a different brand was making 222 homage, but the random name it had really made it look a lot worse. I like their name as it just sounds nice. A great watch for the price. I saw THAT dog 7 times.
Indeed, the name Specht & Söhne has really grown on me over time. Actually like it now
And Best of Luck! 🥳
Great review. So nice to finally see someone measure the lug to lug inside the bracelet, as you say, the external measurement is irrelevant. I have to say, that San Martin didn't look 7 times better than the 222.
Thanks alot for the feedback man, and glad to have brought you value!
Best of luck 🥳
Great content. I definitely think you should spend time on the finishing. You clearly love watches at the level I love. Most of the other watch channels seem intent on going more premium. Keep up the good work.
Bad joke for you.
The seven dwarves were in a hot tub feeling happy.
Then Happy got out so they felt Grumpy.
Love to hear your appreciation for my dedication, welcome to the family brother!
Thanks for the feedback, will keep doing the finishing section for my future reviews 😊
Hahahaha that joke was so bad I laughed, hope you win the lottery 😂😂😂 Best of Luck! 🥳
a very good review, thank you. I was very sceptical to buy it a first but with the explanation that you have given in the video - i am less worried. Anyway, off i go , its 7 am in here.
Yes I really try to make it as objective as possible when reviewing, I am looking to improve with every video!
Thanks for your feedback and enjoy your day 😉
Best of Luck 🥳
Any idea to what happened to this watch was lookin forward to buying it😢 i asked the seller so many since may and they still say next month every time
@@macanohussein580 Hey friend, unfortunately it has been sold out I think, they are preparing for a new version that should come out within a month I hope 🥳
@@macanohussein580 they are delayed sometimes because they work on a couple models at the same time
Hopefully 🤞ur review was enough to convince me this was watch worth it
@@macanohussein580 thank you for the trust 😊 I wish you all the best, if you have any questions let me know ✌️🥳
Very beautiful watch, I’m happy now that I’ve got 7 reasons to buy it.
Beat of Luck 🥳
Great video as always! Great watch I wish I have 7 arms so I can buy that watch 7 times and wear all 7 of them at the same time😂 I appreciate that detailed finishing review hopefully you can also review Militado’s take on oyster 1926
Thanks for the comment 🥳
I will for sure look it up 😇
OMG... Love your review. Can't believe your chanel is so new. THAT 222 is so tempting I might just get 7.
Thank you for the feedback 🙏
Best of Luck 🥳
Superb review, " that " close-up shot was super clean and helpful, really helped me determined to love the watch or not. I heard a lot of bad words about S&S, but you proved them wrong. Oh, there are 7 Shiba in the video (almost miss the last one LOL)
Thanks a bunch for the feedback! Will include more closeups in future review also ☺️
Best of Luck 🥳
Yes all finished details help a lot when deciding to buy. Watch. Thanks for all the detailed shots. I need 7mm more on my wrist for this watch to fit 😆 but there is one I have my eyes 👀 on 😅 that is on the giveaway. Continue with your great work sir!!!
Hey I am happy to see that you came back :D
Hahah good one and thanks for your support! I think I can guess which one it is ;)
Good luck on the 10th of May! 🥳
That watch is very nice, lots of value, I would spend about 7 times what they’re charging.
Nice comment hahah but don't give them any ideas 😂😂😂😂
Just kidding, Best of Luck buddy! 🥳
I really love the VC that this one is homaging, but is more than 7 times expensive!
Hahahah smart one, thanks for your comment!
Best of luck! 🥳
I really really love this watch, i am a fan of the original VC 222 because there is just nothing like it on the market, and i love this one even more there are 7 things that stand out to me about this watch,
First and foremost the price because while i may not be able to afford the original one 85 dollars are still justifiable, then the shape/look (in its faithfulness to the original), i really love the materials used especially at this price, then i love the butterfly clasp because in my opinion it just adds that small little bit of fanciness to it and the size is just so so amazing and i also really love the beehive look of the bracelet, i dont think ive seen it anywhere else, also the finishing is just immaculate especially at this price point andit just looks so so so good in gold
Fair points made there!
If you want to have it for a long time then I recommend the non plated versions, because Gold plating always comes off with time on any watch
Best of luck 🥳
That watch is absolutely stunning I’d get 7 of them
Indeed it is! Its staying in my collection for sure ☺️
Best of Luck! 🥳
That is certainly a very nice homage watch with 7 shibas approval! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the motivation man! Will do ✌️
Best of Luck 🥳
It’s a looker! Great review, thanks.
@@grahamwallace thank You mate! 💯🔥 I appreciate the feedback
that screw down crown does it for me, such a great detail on a really cheap watch 7
That was a well done video of a very nice watch. Thank you.
Thank you too for coming here! ☺️
Great video. I like that finishing section and love to see it in future videos. This is a great example for a Hommage watch that „copies“ something different to all the Rolex out ther. I wonder how this watch would look on my 7 inch wrist.🤔
Thanks for your feedback! Will include this finishing section in future videos for sure with all the positive feedback it has gotten 🤗
Yeah the R homages count for the majority of all homages it feels like
Best of Luck! 🥳
Thx for this review. I expected that this watch is bad.
I have seen 7 shibas
My pleasure, thank you for coming here!
Best of Luck! 🥳
Thank you for reviewing 👏🏻
Thank you for the comment & coming back!
Dont miss the Giveaway :)
That's a nice dress watch to fill a spot in my collection of seven watches.
Best of Luck! 🥳
7: Under that gold plating is 316L stainless steel but I love it cause I see how comfortable it is and as you said it’s a conversation starter
Indeed it is!
However the sad thing as with any gold plated watch is that it will go off in a couple years with heavy use. If the $84 is a lot to someone then I highly recommend the non plated versions as they will last much longer
Good luck! 🥳
@@RIOLOGY $84 is a lot for me as a student but maybe the other versions would last me longer.
the watch that it’s homaging has been my grail for about 7 or 8 years (the 222)
It is almost 7 times cheaper than the PRX but it is a good homege with a Seiko movement! And it is good that case is not 1 to 1 copy, it has some originality.
Its crazy isnt it! I'm so happy with the design of this one ☺️
Best of Luck 🥳
That was a great review, 6 all the way! Very surprising quality for a sub $100 US watch, definitely reconsidering the brand.
Thanks for the comment buddy!
Yes they have really stepped their game up with this one
Best of luck 🥳
That was great!! thank you for the info. that was the 7 th vid I saw from you in a day
I saw that doggie 7 times 😊
Nice watch, like the macro shots and looks great value 👍
Thank you for the feedback man, will keep doing macro shots for future reviews ☺️
Good luck! 🥳
I think you've given me at least 7 reasons to like the S&S, despite some minuses, however, the one thing THAT I am drawn to has got to be the little etched logo which breaks up the symmetry
Nice to hear you like it!
PS the cross logo is unfortunately getting dropped in future production, so if you like it go for it or if you dont like it wait around 😊
Ahhhh, I hope they find an interesting way to stamp their logo on future watches
Great to see another passionate watch enthusiast on the scene; I’ve seen you around the Reddit r/ChineseWatches group.
I’m sure that you will start picking up more subscribers with such great content and generous giveaways. When I first subscribed you only had 7 subs, now it’s in the hundreds.
Also, what type of burger did you measure the endlink against?! 😂
Thank you deeply for the wholesame comment! And thank you for staying with this channel from a time where it was needed the most and continuing to do so! 💯
Hahaha excuse the conversion mistake, should be 0.07 burgers measuring by the imperial standard!
Hahah glad you noticed 😂
Best of Luck! 🥳
Thanks for the video and great watch! It is one of those that makes you look at your watch 7 times every five minutes!
Sometimes I do xD
Best of Luck 🥳
Hey Rio, did you make the draw for these watches? Are you planning on announcing winners? Just curious.
Yes my friend, the first winner was announced in this video: ruclips.net/video/fEx1uFS6sbI/видео.html
The remaining winners will be announced in future challanges :)
Not available in automatic from the company website. In fact, a search of 'Imperial automatic' yielded 0 results. It is also interesting that this range of watches is buried in the site such that you would not even know they made it. This is also true of a few other models.
Yes I prefer to order from Aliexpress, its more convenient for me personally as the Aliexpress shipping method to my country take like 1-2 weeks only.
If you can't find it on their website then check out the Aliexpress link: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Dn47JfF
Well that was an interesting review. Always been a fan of the Vacheron Constantin watches and I feel like I can finally pull the plug on this homage. That watch is about 70,000 Gbp so I'll stick to this one. I can definitely by 7 of these hahha
Hahah yes indeed, clever comment, love it! ☺️
Best of Luck! 🥳
I normally am not a fan of gold watches but that watch is nice and would be a nice addition to the 7 slots I have left in the watch box
I'm the same lol, this is an exception for me too, I'm just so big of a fan of the 222
Best of Luck and welcome to the channel! 🥳
That is a nice watch. I want 7 of em.
Best of Luck! 🥳
ive seen all of your specht and sohne reviews, you introduced me to that brand, this is undoubtedly their coolest homage, looks like it may fill spot number 7 in my watch case
I hope the finishing is 7 times better than before.
Hmmmm you missed something for participating 🤔
Feel free to watch the parts of the vid you missed and correct the comment before the end of the giveaway
love this aswell as that maen watch you reviewed, that las one im really considering buying in the next 7 days!!!
that watch is beautiful, perfect for a beach day or a 7 oclock sunset
I came from reddit and loved what I found, keep up that nice work!!! 7 😉
Thanks man! Appreciated 🙏✌️
Best of Luck 🥳
@@RIOLOGY thanks, i got a little bit carried away by the comment 😁😁
I need the first one on the right pls🙏🏼
Feel free to participate in the giveaway friend :D
