I’m wearing the Addiesdive “ puck “ at this very moment . I love it , fantastic lume and bezel action , went for a swim yesterday wearing it so I can confirm it’s bulletproof proof to at least 3 metres.
I bought an Edox Chronoffshore with 500m water resistance about 10 years ago and swam with dolphins probably to 3 meters depth, so pretty lightweight in comparison but glad I’m not alone.
Very good list Olivier, many thanks. In the last 5 months I have purchased 5 SMs (aprox rate of 1 x month) very happy. I would buy the new SN0144-GX but I have been waiting for the last thing missing from SM watches: Exhibition CaseBack. The excuse was it would make the watch thicker/taller (with Seiko movement) but with Miyota ? I believe it is a pity and a letdown that SM doesn't offer exhibition Case-Back options. Many watch enthusiasts want them. I am not buying more SM until they do. Thanks and Congratulations for your Channel (I am subscribed).
Absolutely excellent session Mike. One point that struck me early on in the piece, to slightly paraphrase it, was the impact of technological advances and how a well established brand such as Tudor or Omega was making excellent watches 30 years ago. I have a 30 year old Breitling Colt automatic that has never been serviced and I have not worn it for 25 years. Yet when it is wound it starts immediately. So with that degree of excellence in the manufacturing of major brands where is innovation and technological investment likely to have the greatest impact?
Thanks for the great list. I am also very intrigued by their upcoming SN0144. I think if they do some plain dials and price them closer to $300, it might be the watch that really helps them shed the image of being “just an AliExpress Brand.” Not that there is anything wrong with being that. 😅. Thanks again! Hope you had a great vacation.
You are absolutely welcome my friend! And yes I had a great vacation, very thoughtful of you to ask 👍. I really hope this turn out great, especially those dials! And as you I hope they keep building in this model/movement combination with more affordable alternatives
Pretty sure the SN0144-GX doesn't have an enamel dial, it is inspired by the traditional glazes from china. Still looks fantastic, just waiting for a few more reviews before pulling the trigger. The bracelet has got me to hold up the most the raised portion give me those 90's citzen vibes.
Ali Express sounds like a great deal, until the address on your package is messed up, you never get your watch and Ali Express refuses to give you a refund. Then it begin to sound like a scam. $161 gone. I've bought several watches on Ali Express, but I'm done.
@@waynejrice much like Amazon Aliexpress is a marketplace, including all kinds of sellers. That's why it's extra important to buy the seller. All the pieces that I recommend here are form sellers I have bought from and that 9 know that deliver
I've heard really bad news recently that Seagull is going to start only accepting a ten thousand minimum order on their mechanical movement that we all know and love so I would strongly recommend purchasing your favorite 1963 watches with that mechanical movement inside on sale or not ETA did something similar years back Anyways always appreciate and enjoy your content Big Daddy Be well and God Bless You and Yours my friend 👍
@@michaelj8793 that's really bad news! Thank you very much for letting me know, I saw a headline by Long Island Watch along those lines... All the best my friend and hope to hear from you soon

Addiesdive 1000m best buy !!!
The new SN is god tier
Sale ? I never even knew it was on and it is now the 25th of August here in Australia........lololol Great advertising Ali Express. DUH.
@@turbyoulance it goes until midnight if the 25th so you still have a few hours 👍
I ordered the San Martin as soon as I saw it, and even got $87 off with coupons!
Ohhh lucky you 👍
Good review except for the "son marton" pronunciation.. The Chinese could not possibly have thought of that.

So, that's how to pronounce "San Martin", now i know 😅
😁
Red Star is good deal, SM, maybe, too, but rest is just way worse quality.
What a joke. He is describing and praising watches from Ali Express web page. MANIFIQUE 🤣🤣🤣
Are you on the Ali Ex. PAYROLL ?
You know Ali express doesn’t make the watches, right? He’s talking about a sale, which he does videos for sales on Amazon too.
What’s your problem with AliExpress?😅. Seems like u hate on them so much - maybe u have a secret crush on them🤣
How does this change the outcome of your day?
What's your problem, Urb Anus 3546? The title of video makes it clear that he will be discussing AliExpress watches in the content.
Go polish your Rolex and feel superior....
Heck yeah, dry back hole San Martin
