The 10 Best things about Watches that I Love
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.com/collections/sailcloth-watch-straps
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.

    Quality homage watches are fantastic. It lets people appreciate the design and feel of an iconic or sought after piece which they may never have had the opportunity to do. It's also a good way of trying out something you think you like before buying the original watch. For people who make derogatory comments about homage watches; you should do more research on the 'knock offs'. There are plenty of case of quality manufacturing which surpass the likes of Rolex in many areas. Don't get me wrong, the history, name and original design will always tempt me but I'm more than happy to buy San Martin or Cronos because I understand their finishing and commitment to quality.

    • @WATCHingJames

    I'll wear a shiny/flashy "nice" watch with super casual (like athletic or "house clothes") outfits, but I probably won't wear my bulky sporty diver with a preppy look, unless I changed at work or something. That said, my flashier watches fall short of being explicitly formal.

    I appreciate your objections to the 104. I like the day/date execution, guess that’s just a matter of taste. As for the finish, keep in mind it’s also a pilot watch. Airline pilots’ uniforms are on the same level of formality as a business suit; so making the watch less “tooley”makes sense. Also I think the steel used has a high Vicker’s hardness, making it less likely to scratch.

I especially love the recessed rings in the subdials. I got it on the recent summer sale for about $136 Canadian which is just over $100 US.

    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

The Karoo in particular! I don't do leather often either. I don't have an expensive collection so almost everything can be a beater if the need arises. I am a bit of a practical person and prefer function over aesthetics. Take care James!

    Automatic watches are not designed to be handwound to full power! You should avoid handwinding as much as possible. The crown stem is the most vulnerable part of the watch. Your big, fat fingers twisting and torquing the tiny crown stem is the fastest way to break your watch. Only handwind when absolutely necessary, just a few turns to get the watch started and set, then WEAR it. Automatic watches are designed to be powered by the rotor, not the crown.
