    I’m not big into dress watches, but this one is brilliant. And the choices you get: sword hands, pencil hands, numerals, no numerals, sapphire, mineral. It’s like you’re building a custom watch. I’ve been liking quartz more and more lately also. Thanks for the great review!

      A reasonable amount of custom-ability with the watch, as you mentioned mate and that coupled with the price should make it a good option for many 👍👍

    Almost pulled the trigger on this one last year.
    Went for the Thorn SHY021 instead

      I know the one. Thorn does some very, very good watches. Enjoy man 👍👍

    Great job. Is there a vh31 for small seconds? Could be even better, for a dress watch.

      Cheers mate and no, unfortunately not and I’m sure if it did that would have been their preferred movement 👍👍

    The go to compare for a small seconds dress watch on ALI has to be the Automatic Sea-Gull model. In the upcoming sale they will be around £50 to £55. While this is nice for me the Sea-Gull takes the prize.

      I know the one and it’s a very cool watch, especially for the money you can grab it for - enjoy mate 👍👍

    I think when looking at affordable dress watches I always automatically compare them to what I can get from a similar look Orient Bambino.
    For a similar feel it is a good price - especially in a sale.

    • @WatchtheTime
      @WatchtheTime  10 днів тому +5

      Well this is quite a bit cheaper than an Orient Bambino, albeit with a quartz movement but generally, I think this offers great value for money mate 👍👍

    A dress watch with a modern style is hard to find. This knocks it out of the park.
    Will you do the Militado 1921?

      Am glad you like it mate and I have just received the watch you mentioned as well, so watch this am space (pun intended) 👍👍

    Raymond Weil Millisseme small seconds rip?

  • @Karl-hx6sw
    @Karl-hx6sw 10 днів тому +3

    Do you think it would better in a 39mm version for us medium wrist size gents (7.25"). Like the RW Millesime its homaging?
    39.5mm on a grey suede leather strap and I'd get one.

    • @WatchtheTime
      @WatchtheTime  10 днів тому +3

      Good question mate and given you have the same size wrist as mine, it will give you a good gauge of how it would look on you 👍👍

  • @josephpatenaude642

    For the clasp I guess it was to match the mat black strap and just let the watch speak for itself, tk for that nice review

    • @WatchtheTime

    Nice watch. It's good they're letting us choose between sapphire and mineral. The handset proportions are bang on! But to my eye, the watch case has a little too much polishing.

    • @WatchtheTime
      @WatchtheTime  7 днів тому +1

      Perhaps a tad too much polishing but as you say, it’s a nice watch especially at the price 👍👍

    Too small for my taste but looks very clean .For those who like smaller /vintage watches will love it .Mineral sucks ,I'd rather have acrylic if no sapphire option myself ... Light as a feather and nice review as ever .

    I have alot of respect for Militado but an automatic movement is more appealing to me, especially in a dress watch. It just feels a little more elegant.

    • @WatchtheTime
      @WatchtheTime  10 днів тому +1

      No problem mate. I prefer automatic’s as well but just think it’s a good option for those looking for a quartz piece 👍👍

    Looks very nice, apart from the pin buckke clasp.
    Maybe from another of their watches?
    If so, a bit bobbins
