    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.

    I honestly think that a really good strap/bracelet is as important as a nice watch and if they're coupled correctly then you've got a real "WINNER "

      The best place I found to get them is Ashford.com. However I think it’s an American site so would need to be imported. I know your taxes then come into play when you need to import it.
