- 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.

The most scarred I’ve been before buying a watch has turned into sheer joy at owning this one.
Montblanc have never been taken seriously in horology circles. I liked a few of their dress watches in rose gold. This piece however was a statement release to show people they were taking it seriously. The 100 years limited edition version of this is lovely if you haven’t seen it yet. Lovely dial work.
I always enjoy watching videos about watches I probably never will purchase but still find very interesting. I do have one of their pens, and no complaints there! Thanks to both for the review!
I am the same. I really enjoy lots of different watch creators talking about very cool watches. But watches that I’m not going to buy.
I agree! I like their pens but I have yet to own one of their watches.
Montblanc is such an odd brand ( I have a pen collection too and love their pens) - their watches are all very well made but range from rather pedestrian movements to absolutely amazing Minerva pieces and some odd in-between ones. Like the Nicolas Rieussec - a wonderful piece of horological innovation and exquisite craftsmanship. They can now be bought for an absolute steal pre-owned and won't let you down. Congrats to you for this amazing watch!!
Thank you. I am so happy with this watch. It is incredible.
You are completely right about their watches. All over the place.
But a good brand to look into
Congratulations on your new watch. It's a beauty. About 500m from where we live in Istanbul we have what I like to call Watch Row, because side by side we have the stores of AP, Patek Philippe, Tudor, Frederique Constant, Richard Mille, Rolex, Omega and last but not least Mont Blanc. It's a very nice store and they do have extremely nice watches. Your comment about a lot of them being very big is very true, but they are made extremely well.
I visited my local montblanc store too and just tried on a buck of lovely watches.
Looks great, have thought about picking up that one over the years, congrats! Great piece, interesting movement, all around winner!
Thank you. It is an incredible watches.
Really nice one James it looks haute horology to me of course I'm no expert. The nod to pens in the shape of a pen nib is so cool it reminds me of Victorinox which sometimes uses their Swiss Army knife as a second hand counterbalance.
It ticks all the boxes to make it fit in with Haute horology.
Especially that movement. Wow it’s a beautiful movement
I thought that at the end we would have a shot of your wife in tears at the price. Or perhaps that's just your bank manager. 😂
Hahahahahahah. I did have to sell a few to help pay for this one.
I tried one of these on and decided against it. good video 😊😊
I like mont blanc watches, will get their PC on a bracelet 😊
I’m just drawn to this one. It’s big but wow do I like it.
Thanks for WATCHing
Was lucky to pick up a pre-owned automatic chronograph on eBay with all the packaging and papers in excellent condition at a pretty silly low price. Coming up to vintage age but the accuracy is still impressive - underrated brand.
I am so impressed with it and the brand too. I went into my local montblanc to try on a few new models.
A very interesting watch, congratulations on finding one and having such a supportive wife 👍. My first thoughts were I do like the dial, it's different, but packs a lot in while remaining symmetrical 👍, second, I'm not sure I could live with the lack of minute markers in two sections of the dial and third I hate to think how much a service will cost. I look forward to the full review 😁
It’s definitely not one for everyone. But wow do I love it.
I am with you on this. They have some super nice pieces! This is very unique! The dial moves instead of the hand! That is awesome! I think you have done well James!
Thank you. I’m in love with this one. I just keep looking at it. Then taking it off to look at the movement
really a nice watch!!!! Congratulations on your fantastic purchase
Thanks for WATCHing
James, that is an absolutely stunning watch! Wow! Thanks for sharing it with us 👍😁
Thank you. It is very very cool and I love it.
Just a beautiful watch caliber. Revisioned one yesterday, really fun to work on. Congrats on your purchase!
It is gorgeous.
I’m very very happy to own this one.
Great choice, beautiful watch, love the complications and movement 👍
Keep up the great content 👏
There is so many things I love about this one. But I’m already surprised with how much I am wanting to wear it.
Lovely looking watch James, will take a gander at this brand now, thanks to you 😊
It is a rabbit hole of amazing watches.
Just look at the prices as there are lots that are selling relatively cheap.
Also some are huge. I’ve also noted that some do not have a second hand. So no movement.
Beautiful watch! Congratulations
Thanks for WATCHing
Wow. That is a stunner James 😮
It is amazing. I love it
Awesome thing! Happy new watch day!
Thank you. I’ve had a few of those lately 😁
Υou have good taste.
And you experiment with watches beyond the norm (Rolex, Seiko etc.)
That is why I like your channel.
You broaden our horizons with new experiences.
Thank you.
I enjoy sharing my watch journey and it’s great to get such positive feedback.
Thanks for WATCHing
You just bought my grail watch James, that's a keeper for sure!
It was a grail watch that I did not know existed until 6 months ago.
It really is amazing
Now that’s a smart looking watch 😮💨
I absolutely love it and can’t stop wearing it.
@@WATCHingJames I’m not surprised James.
Pls do an in depth dive on this one. I've got my eye on it too 😊😅
I definitely will be.
It has turned out to be in my top 3 favourite watches of all time and surprisingly one of my most worn.
Definitely check out my video about how to save money on it.
I bought a cheap version. Then had it fully serviced and fixed my Montblanc and it ended up cheaper than many of the more expensive versions.
I've always wanted one, stunning watch!
Thanks for WATCHing
Absolutely gorgeous 😍 🔥🔥
I am totally smitten with this one.
Hi james nice watch don't no much about this brand but I'll look them up as I like big watches as I have a 215mm wrist size thanks John.
With a wrist that size you would perfectly suit the bigger Montblanc watches.
Thanks for WATCHing
Wow! A very nice piece! The best I could hope for is if Sugess or San Martin see your video too😊
They are making some amazing watches. It would not surprise if they did.
Hello James and thanks for this video. It's a beautiful watch and I'm sure it worth the price. 🎉 Also, it is one not showed so usually on YT, nor on the internet. Thus, I'll surrely be there for the 2nd video, the complete review one.
There will be a very in depth review of this one in a few month once I have a really good understanding of it.
I can say. I am completely in love with it and even wearing it so much more than I expected
@@WATCHingJames 👍
I’ve always really liked this one!
Stunning timepiece.
If it had another logo on the dial would cost x2 or x3 the price.
I think so too.
I can already foresee myself getting another from the brand in the future.
I’m really impressed with it.
Very kool watch… 👍😎
Thank you. I really love this watch. It is soooooo kool.
Nice watch. Fits perfect in the world of watch and fountain pen collectors. I myself happen to be one.
I’ve never really been interested in fountain pens but owning this watch makes me want one.
Great, another expensive hobby 😁
Cool video ! I like James that you ask your wife to appear and do a relevant cameo. Nice watch. Is there an homage watch to this Mont Blanc ? Keep up the good work, ms. James & mr. James, including these nice and neat 'mises en scèce (how to put someone into the light)'.
Not that I’ve come across.
I’ve only seen one homage to a montblanc and it was not this model.
Lovely piece, James. Much more interesting than the usual suspects.
When I first saw one I had mixed emotions. I loved it and was slightly confused. 😂😂😂😂. But is can already say that I am so happy that I bought one.
Definitely a nice watch 😍
I’m a bit star struck by this one.
What are your thoughts on the Iced Sea?
I’ve handled it twice now and I like it.
It is large. But feels really well made and the dial is great. The caseback is also a stand out feature.
Wife says…. You can only buy this watch James if I can do a Cameo.
Hahahahahahaha. It was great to have her feature again in a video.
So how much was it? I am sure viewers would like to know
I ended up paying $4200aud
I almost begrudge Mont Blanc for how much I like their watches, they obviously suffer from aficionados' snobbery, the way people look down their noses on their move into watches as a cynical money-grab. But it's undeniable that their designs are tasteful and very tempting, if one judges them purely on aesthetics and quality, and can ignore the marketing/branding baggage.
They have some incredible designs and their “perceived” fashion watch status actually helps significantly to allow some amazing priced watches. Especially used or grey market
👍
👍
A welcome departure from the aliexpress watches.
It was a big AliExpress week. Definitely time for some other watches now.
👍👍
👍👍👍
Montblanc is the most
Uunderrated brand in
The watch industry 🙉
I think you might need right.
I think that’s also the reason why they drop so much money on the grey or used market.
I can foresee myself owning another from them.
Silent C, silent T
Thank you. That does sound more appropriate
WHOAH! Gorgeous watch! What a great looking dial
I’m in love with this one.
@@WATCHingJames Sooo cool! Congratulations!
