    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. Featuring known watch brands, microbrands, Aliexpress. Some I have purchased new, others second hand.
    The majority of the watches that I feature I have purchased. I buy them to enjoy, wear, have in my collection. I then also 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 and Ashford.com.
    If you are looking for watches from well known brands then it is worth checking out:
    www.ashford.com
    If you are looking for great strap options then definitely check out:
    vario.sg/
    and
    artemstraps.co...
    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 favourite watches on Aliexpress. Each of them I have owned and had positive experiences with the stores that they are linked to.

    I’ve never been interested in pilot watches. I got the AddiesDive pilot watch as it was so inexpensive, I’m really enjoying it and it’s making me consider others now.

    I finally bought the blue dial Hruodland Turbine in the last AliExpress sales as it was down to $200aud. So glad I did as it's an absolute BANGER of a watch.
    I've been eyeing it off for like a year since I saw your recommendation so THANK YOU SIR.

    The Sugess “Air Command” is an awesome watch. Gets heavy rotation in my collection

    I bought the hruodland turbine during June’s sale, 130 USD and worth much more. It’s great, with the fit on wrist, the finishing, all the details just make it nice to stare at. Keeps great time too. Only thing that disappointed me slightly is that the lume doesn’t last super long, but it is still very bright and it definitely wouldn’t have kept me from buying it

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  2 месяца назад +1

      That’s great to hear. I absolutely love mine.

    Some amazing pilot watches I have come across on Aliexpress

  • @PanzergrauModels
    @PanzergrauModels 2 месяца назад +4

    I bought an unbranded Tandorio 39mm pilot style B watch as spare parts - I needed a movement for a custom build. Powered by NH35A TMI movement, all stainless steel, sapphire glass, screw down back and crown. I put it on my wrist just to see how the movement performs in "real world" and... two months later it is still on my wrist, "stealing" ALL the time from other "brothers" from my collection.
    I still cannot believe how much this "cheapie" grew in me! Yes, it is a WW2 Laco replica but I cannot afford an original legacy or, better yet, a Stowa.
    And my final point: a legacy watch and a replica should stay at the same table, since none is the original. I'd rather buy a Tandorio hommage than a legacy battery powered Atlantic or Longines.

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  2 месяца назад +2

      I’m always impressed by them.

      @bigriceburner 2 месяца назад +2

      I bought my wife the titanium version of this watch and it’s one of her favorites .. I always threaten to steal it from her and find it it is at that medium size that seems to work for us both. The aesthetic is spot on as you guys say. I’m just thankful that we have and Ali
      express available to us and it is a shame that some are prejudiced against not only homage watches but in Chinese manufacturing in particular. Those are the ones who loose out on this cool hobby sadly.

    I have the sugess
    It looks amazingly good, really well built, +10 seconds a day
    Recommend it for anyone who likes chronographs

  • @evanspivack2714
    @evanspivack2714 2 месяца назад +3

    Nice list, James... sometimes, I just like the simplicity and straightforwardness of a pilot's watch. Your point about AE watches, especially concerning pilot style watches, is on spot. Thank you for your efforts!

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  2 месяца назад +1

      Thank you. I think it make a lot of sense to consider AliExpress

      But pilot watches. Wow. Love them

    Hey James Pilot Watches are a must in every collection. My Citizen world time is my favourite but Ali Express does well in this category. Great topic.

    Been watching Gordon, Fred and Gino recently. Gordon always seems to be wearing an IWC.

      I really like the IWC brand and their watches

  • @dunderhay9169
    @dunderhay9169 2 месяца назад +1

    I definitely recommend Tandorio, I bought a bronze blue type 2 Flieger and it was a great watch. Oddly, I didn't really like the flieger dial, so for £10.50 I bought a new green sandwich dial and hand set, swapped them and now really enjoy my ¨new¨ field watch 😁

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  2 месяца назад +2

    Great selection, ive got that Sugess in blue with pvd gold case, a beautiful watch that i love, did see the watch it hommages, blanc pain aircommand last week, its my grail watch but its a lottery winning price unfortunately. So until those 6 numbers come up I'll be wearing the Sugess. Thanks James.

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  2 месяца назад +2

      We are all waiting for our numbers to come up. Hahahaha

    I love the military and pilot watches in particular the bronze ones look really good. your flieger video is one of my favourites and I have watched it numerous times thank you. Neil from Adelaide

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  2 месяца назад +1

      Thanks Neil.
      I have another pilot video that I’ll make one day.
      Now that I have a few and different price ranges it would be good to line them up.

  • @spikefcast1892
    @spikefcast1892 2 месяца назад +2

    I love pilot watches, when I put the blue turbine pilot no logo aside my Longines bigeyes, Zulu time et weems chrono, I must say what a bargain and beautifull watch. 17cm wrist. Big but thin, finishing, dial execution. Some say boring ?. Just try it. And the 6497 runs within the cosc easily. A keeper. For sure. 200€ just amazing

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  2 месяца назад +1

      I like the bigeye too. I’ve tried it on a bunch of times.

  • @L233233
    @L233233 2 месяца назад +1

    The Baltany isn't a Pilot watch, it's are retro style racing watch that is meant to be worn under the wrist. That's why the dial is at a weird angle. It love the light dial version of that watch and will probably buy one eventually.

  • @GunGuy258
    @GunGuy258 2 месяца назад +2

    I love that Baltany.

    • @WATCHingJames

  • @harryno
    @harryno 2 месяца назад +1

    Hi, thanks for your list. I have the Escapement Time type b and the merkur . They're both great watches, but I'd argue the Merkur is more of a field watch with its esthetics and 38mm case- but the line between the 2 styles is blurred, especially with the Chinese watches. I think your list is missing the Addiesdive 39mm type a. It was my first Aliex watch, I got it with the sterile dial (not sure if that's still available) and it's a very solid cheap watch that I still love- and I'm wearing right now

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  2 месяца назад +2

      That’s a great choice too. Brilliant value.

    • @WATCHingJames

      I’ve had a couple now and have really enjoyed them.

  • @adk7962
    @adk7962 2 месяца назад +2

    A terrific list, but I don’t think an AliExpress Pilot Watch list not complete without an Addiesdive MY-H2 Type A. I know it’s a IWC Homage, but like you said, most pilot watches are homages of something. Thanks again!

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  2 месяца назад +2

      Another great option. I actually had to cut the list down to 10. Otherwise it was going to be a very long video hahahahaha

  • @gz7587
    @gz7587 2 месяца назад +3

    There is a reason why pilots watches are the least favourite of all watch types, it's because they are the most boring and often just too big.

    • @WATCHingJames
