The last shown Proxima I own since some weeks. Lovely dial, nice movement and case. But the bezel is hard to move and the bracelet is cheap. I asked them and they told me the bracelet is an older version. They just should have picked a 2,50 € milanese like me. With that it's a perfect watch with a bezel you can't turn. 😊 Would love to see something about the Ixdao 🐢! The Merkur Looks also really interesting. The San Martin and maybe even more the Aquatrident I would like to own. If you have good contacts to the producers...I would like to see more yellow lume on watches. 😬 Regarding the Cronos dial, good choice the new version.
Hi Gary, that Proxima PX1680 is very interesting and affordable. It seems to be a special offer, limited to 80 pieces. I ordered one. Thanks for the advice, I appreciate. Best wishes for a peaceful 2025. 😊
I’m not sure why I missed this video yesterday. These are some excellent watches. And as one of those weird “date only” guys I’m actually quite interested in the Zezame. And that IX&DAO “Mini Turtle” is also intriguing. I’ll be honest though, I’ll watch you review a roll of paper towels so…. 😅
Wow!! They all look great! 😍 I came across Farasute chronograph with Peacock 4801 movement. Very dear and may be that’s why no one has done reviews on them.
I’m very interested in the green and white seestern gmt with the mop dial. There aren’t any real photographs on Facebook Reddit. The price if the mop dial is any good seems to be a good value. The GS has the crown at 4:30 which always looked wonky to me. That would be my pick to see a review of.
Wow, this selection is stunning! These AliExpress brands have stepped up their game X100 over the last four years, but this selection shows a completely new level achieved. I follow these brands regularly, but this video was Bang-Bang-Bang all the way.
That SM black and gold is absolutely lovely. I like the proximas also. So nice to see Cronos do the right thing ditching the CW dial design. Prices are definitely creeping (or boinding) up. Hopefully the value and wuality are increasing as well.
It looks almost the same to their GMT version, a different case and dial, but the bracelet seems like it's same and the handset too. Would be a redundant buy. Looks like their take on the Rimalti watches.
This time of year is my premium watch pickup time (with gift money). I just bought a Seiko Arnie and a Detroit Mint 'Pogue'. In a couple of months is my birthday and I am hoping to get a green and gold Seiko Alpinist. Still have the LONG AliExpress list too - of course.
Merkur watch looks stunning but on closer inspection the finishing seems quite basic and at 13mm thick that's fairly chunky even if 2mm is the crystal. GS inspire Chronos and IXDAO Turtle both looks very nice but I've only got one slot in my Aliexpress watch box left so going have to be picky. Also a shame Aquatrident don't make 39 or 40mm watches as their dials look great.
Would love to see the new Cronos reviewed. I have the GMT Evo 9 homage and it is hands down the nicest finished watch I’ve even seen from AE. The Zezame chronograph looks cool but it should be noted that 2 of the pushers on the 4 pusher version are allegedly non-functional. Black and gilt SM looks beautiful. Would also like a review. Honestly, I would like to see a review of basically all these watches. 😅
there is a few to pick from ,couple that piqued my interest the Hruodland and the last one the proxima , although looking at the comments I don,t think there's two opinions the same lol
Hey Gary. I came across a watch on AliExpress.It's called a Moemton (not Momemtum). It looks kind of like the new Seestern. Maybe a little better, especially the green dial version. I haven't seen anybody on RUclips review it. Have you heard of it? What are your thoughts? Any chance of getting that in for a review? Thanks
The Seestern GMT is a total winner if you get one in any of the variations you won't be disappointed I got the dark blue dial variant and love it worth every penny Thanks for sharing as always my friend Be well and Big blessings
Loving some of these! If ordering a few at the one time, in buyers experience, is it better to order 1 at a time for "customs" etc. or is it OK and safe to order 3 at the one time? TIA. Love the channel ⌚👍
It was weird, the price was in sterling but the language in German, I just had to change to GB in top right corner. Just strange it chose German as a preset 👍
Love these type of videos, I very much appreciate the amount of research involved!
Funny thing is…I mainly make them because I’m doing the work already for my own benefit…seems a shame not to share what I find….glad you like them
I own the Seestern, haven’t worn it yet, hiding it from the wife 😅
Waiting for the next holiday when you can tell her ‘i just bought a new watch!’.
Yeah 😂
Wouldn't the new Proxima with the keyboard dial be the ultimate desk diver?
Loved this type of videos mate, you should continue doing these.
Making another one right now….
That Merkur looks interesting.
A review of that would be nice.
Def the seestern👌🏻
Nice collection, really like the look of the first two cronos and that seestern diver
Now that it has the hourglass dial pattern, that Cronos could be a real hit! Excellent watch!
Cronos IS breaking everything
The ixdao turtle looks great with that bracelet. I feel that the scale dial could either look great or completely naff in person though 😅
It’s now on its way so we will soon see.

I bought that Cronos GS Birch Homage during the last sale. I got it with the SW200 for $248 USD. In fact, I'm wearing it right now. It is amazing.

Crazy deal…

lol…thank you…yes I was planning an I Like toiletries channel for 2025 😂
I'd be keen to see you unpack all there is to know about he Merkur and Hruodland in particular.
Cool, ill see what I can do
Wow!! They all look great! 😍
I came across Farasute chronograph with Peacock 4801 movement. Very dear and may be that’s why no one has done reviews on them.
Probably…..
Love that ixdoa, too bad not automatic. Cool some dials on the aquatrident.
Xlnt Litter!🎉 Every one of these r worth buying. The Merkur is my fave & possibly coming home after I pay the Holidays $.
Smooth & fun vid🤙🏆
You too!

Soke interesting pieces there, the IxDao is pretty cool
my boderry landmaster arrived today. it's impressive
They make nice watches
Wow, this selection is stunning! These AliExpress brands have stepped up their game X100 over the last four years, but this selection shows a completely new level achieved. I follow these brands regularly, but this video was Bang-Bang-Bang all the way.
They have come along way

The Zezame Ztreet has a great dial layout but 4 pushers? Seen a Citizen with this dial layout that just has a crown
There is a two pusher version
The Cronos white/night birch is an absolute stunner in the flesh. Just wish the bracelet reduced down to 16mm, instead of 18mm
It looks almost the same to their GMT version, a different case and dial, but the bracelet seems like it's same and the handset too. Would be a redundant buy. Looks like their take on the Rimalti watches.
8:40 that's unfair, everybody is a desk diver.
I dive as a hobby and I find it pretty funny ;) it's a nice selection.
Need to see this purple Cronos! In the market for a Ravens purple watch and this could be it.
That Merkur looks great! Please review that one
I’ll try for sure…
I like the one with the lady’s behind on the case back.
Lol

Nice…a few incoming watches sounds like
Perhaps the Proxima Keyboard dial Diver is in relevance to desk diving?? Food for thought 🤔

SM teased a new miyota 9015 6 o'clock date beauty in gray and gold that I'm waiting eagerly on.
Didn’t mention the San Martin new colors of that zz pottery inspired dial. They have green and purple still like the blue but…
That cronos mete was more than my Zelos swordfish dlc mete lol
Cronus with new dial pattern, merkur, hroudland
Gotcha…thank you
P.D..Steve Mc Quinn for 50$ !.I have one more than 2 years and it' s runing less than 1 second/ day ! It' s really seak !
IXDAO = 9 DAO. I heard that this is actually what the name of the company is.
In Chinese 9 is Jiu (jeeo) Dao ( daa).
Finally you are showing Seestern watches. You are missing the boat by not getting any of their watches in for review.
I’ve reviewed Seestern before
Anyone thinking about the limited edition jade dial Maen Manhattan 40mm available direct from Maen only for the next 7 days?
Not me….anyone?…..
It's a desk diver 😅😅
Ixado Ixado
That cronos though! ❤❤❤
damn. why did i have to watch this video. that Hruodland F028....
lol…sorry, lots of great new releases at the moment for sure.
Why does the aliexpress link send us to a German language page?
No idea, doesn’t for me
It was weird, the price was in sterling but the language in German, I just had to change to GB in top right corner. Just strange it chose German as a preset 👍
Very odd….I occasionally get sent to the Russian site…glitch perhaps
Butterfly clasp is an instant turn off for me. I see the clasp and I'm no longer interested, and sadly, it seems to be the flavor de jour. 🤦♂
All chronos have done a bastardised the Longines logo sonewhat. Yet more evidence of a lack of originality....
I made that logo for them….
Wow
18 hideous watches
Morning grumpy…want a cuddle?
🎉👍
Firsties
🤮
Me too…I’ve been ill all Xmas, Flu. Feel for ya bud
