I have the 36mm version of this watch. As of this writing(12/26/23), I have it out for repair. While wearing at work a few days ago, the baton index at one o'clock came off the dial plate and has to be glued back on. I dont know if this is a QC issue that other buyers of this watch have had simular issues with or just the particular unit I have. Other than that it is a great homage with a great overall package for its price point.
Sorry to hear about yours! Yea, mine fogged out within days of wearing it after I took a shower with it. I think it's poor QC on their part to be honest. And seeing as I've only gotten one watch off of them and it had that issue, I feel like aliexpress has a better QC rate than them 😂(For others reading, I'm joking. I could have just been very unlucky with my purchase.)
Solid, honest review bro. This is Perfect for me. 😊
I love the dial, crown, bracelet, clasp, glide lock, lume, everything. Thanks buddy! 😁 👏 🤩 ❤️
Hey! Thanks for watching! haha Glad you enjoyed it! Need to find time to make more videos but I've sold quite a few of my watches already haha
I have this model. It arrived in a lovely case and I was over the moon. However, the watch didn't even work. Had to take it to a local watchmaker to get it running as the balance wasn't seated properly! Overall, agree with everything you've said but you didn't mention the huge crown on it which I find rather ugly.
Sorry to hear about your experience with the watch. Seems like they do have a QC issue! hmm the crown size never really bothered my, but I'll keep that in mind for future reviews, thanks for the feedback!
I will have one of the 36mm version please.
Any possibilty of it being fitted with a decent quartz movement instead please.... (hint hint VH31)
That's interesting, you'd prefer a quartz movement over an automatic one?
Where you buy and how much
Hi, thanks for your comment! I bought this on Tisell's website. They have a european and a korean website. I believe it's listed cheaper on the Korean website (website is in English but korean domain if I recall). Can't remember how much I got it for but right now it looks like it's selling for US$145 on the korean website.
Clasp is awesome ❤❤❤
Agreed!
My ali express watches have all been 100%.
That's good to hear! I've only had one aliexpress watch that had an issue (the GMT master homage by pagani design). Otherwise they've all worked well (aside from just design/finishing flaws at that price point of course)
