  • 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/s...
    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.

    Love the vid & love the watches. Most people don’t understand a person’s love for watches. We’re different. In a good way. Can relate to your experiences & loving the content.
    Keep it up James.

    I'm a big fan of those GO watches, they're gorgeous! Soft spot for the PanoReverse in green. But I have a Martin Design Regulator watch coming later this year from the kickstarter campaign, which I think will scratch the itch for a good while.

    Cool stuff James. It's amazing how similar New Zealand is to parts of Scotland. I have some relatives who have been and had mentioned that.

    • @WATCHingJames

      There are some definite similarities.
      You can understand why the LOTR was filmed there.

    That Glasshutte Original is one of my grails ... Used to be the A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 ... but the GO is much more realistically attainable.

    • @WATCHingJames

      I prefer the GO too. There is something about it that really grabs my attention.

    You sir, may be a bigger watch nerd than me. What a great video, and three great watches. I was waiting to see your dad, and where is Amy? I kept expecting her to pop up and say "A dingo stole my Rolex!" I live in Montana, and I thought we had some cool scenery. But wow, NZ is drop dead beautiful. I enjoyed this video James, thanks.

    @Miclantechupi 2 місяці тому +3

    I always feel a bit conflicted about the Chris Ward Dartmouth.
    On the one hand its a nicely executed watch.
    On the other, having served 18 years as an RN Officer including around a year of training at BRNC, I actually cringe whenever I hear the word Dartmouth. Verging on PTSD. The place is basically the worst traditions of the 1863 Royal Navy embodied in a building designed as a school for 13 year old Victorian era boys and applied to 21 year old 21st century university graduates. With a massive amount of forced woke slapped on top just to really destroy combat efficacy.
    I would love a well executed RN themed watch, perhaps taking after the CWC diver watches. But something without 'Dartmouth' in the name would be great. So that said I am not sure why anyone would buy this CW offering rather than a genuine CWC Royal Navy Diver Automatic...

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  2 місяці тому +3

      Oh no. Thankfully there are many other watches to choose from.
