TWENTY WATCHES! TWENTY MINUTES! HA! Lots to choose from today and I bet you already have a few. I know I do! Cheers, Jody
For the people who want to know about the shirt, I believe it's:
You Don't Have To Spend A Fortune
If You Don't Want To
To Get A Good Watch
On Your Wrist
I started with You Don't Have To Say Anything... and have up lol
Tysm
Thanks for clarification. Tbh the letters on his shirt keep bothering me the whole video 😂😂😂
Well... got to be honest -I am! The initials bothered me but being an adherent of Jody's videos, I picked up on him saying various parts of this. Guess I've got too much time on my hands :)
wtf? 🤣
I never tire of seeing that Baltany. Extremely versatile watch and way better looking in person than what you see on your screen.
Indeed. The crystal is 👌
Do they have a non-chrono version?
In fairness to the Pagani "Cocktail time's" mineral crystal, the Actual Seiko it is based on doesn't have sapphire either...
And it has a date as well!
That we let Seiko still get away with that hardlex nonsense given how common and affordable sapphire is these days is beyond me.
Some people really do buy into it being more shatter resistant. So I get making a few watches with it, but they insist on making so damn many of their watches with that nonsense.
(Mineral crystals might be less prone to shattering in terms of their structure, but that's basically flexibility vs hardness, on a watch face it's too thick and small in diameter for flex to come into play on a hard impact. Could come into play for something like a phone screen though.)
Seiko is one of those brands getting more expensive without offering more than they did before. Disappointing, these chinese brands are taking over if classic affordable brands don't wake up
@@cosmodoc But you can't unsee the 311 date 😟
@@oscaraldeguer just like Chinese car companies will kill the German industry
Wow, Jody, I truly appreciate the hard work you put in on this episode. Always love 11/11, and I was just searching for a guide! Great timing!❤
I learnt more from this video than watching others for 3 months.
Thank you for your work! 😊
Am I insane that I’ve actually watched all the reviews, but I sat through the whole video just as entertained as the first time around? Thanks for the great lists as usual. My Willard Homage on a FKM Tropic honestly is my favorite watch.
The Cronos is a definite keeper. I bought one and an equivalent San Martin about a year ago. The San Martin went lame after about 5 months. The Cronos is still going strong and it is both comfortable and it's solid as a rock. Cronos is quickly becoming my favorite Chinese watch brand. I can't wait to put it head-to-head with the Erebus when it gets here.
I love the idea of showing "Target price". Very helpful!
Thanks Jody...I pulled the trigger on the Pagani quartz chrono, the 1970 and a couple of others that have been on my wish list.
nice selections! I have the baltany s205034 on my radar for a while now and i'll happily pull the trigger in the sale.
Thanks for all the great insperational videos. You've cost me small fortune but it's all been worth it. Great advice.
I love these reviews, they come with realistic advice as to why they can be a great buy, well done keep up the great work.
Love the videos Jody! I couldn’t wait and bought the San Martin GMT with the steel bezel in green last week. I am hoping it will get here before thanksgiving! Your review on it played a big role in my decision. Excited to get my first San Martin! Keep posting the awesome videos, thank you!
18:43 - 20:50 I will 100% vouch for the baltany chrono and the San Martin pilot-style. Both truly fantastic watches at the $150 price point. I'd also recommend the San Martin dual bezel GMT. Great dimensions, original design, and if you can find the old design with the timing outer bezel, it's a true GADA watch.
I'm a noob in the watch world so your reviews are very helpful. Some great deals, I love the Seagull '63, Sugess and of course the Baltany
Fantastic video as always and you have sprooked my interest for dropping a few hints to the wife for Xmas gift ideas 👍🏻
Excellent picks, thanks for putting this together.
Fantastic selections Jody, appreciate the links. Sure looks like I may be in need of just one more watch box too! Lol
I have an Ocean Star and its one of my daily choices. Excellent fit & finish, great accurate movement, perfect for my 8 1/4 in. wrist! Cheers
I have the pagani 'Phillipe' and its absolutely incredible.
It looks amazing on wrist and I"ve had a bunch of people ask after it while I've been wearing it. For the price its easily the best value watch I have.
I still use my Cadisen C1032 as a dress watch (put a leather strap on it). I ended up getting a Blue Tissot Gentlemen to "replace" it, though I still find good use for it when I want a silver dial. Still the best bang for buck watch I ever bought, especially after I regulated it to keep much better time. If you haven't pick one up, I highly recommend it.
Thank you so much.😁
I already purchased the Lobini, great watch, the micro rotor is very affordable and very nice to wear. Slides right under a cuff.
Great job Jody. My current favourite on Ali is the Baltany 1921... lovely VC homage
Great list Jodi! I'll personally be straying from your list and going for the San Martin BB58 (SN0008C) in blue (and possibly the PAGANI DESIGN GMT with the NH34 - Explorer II look alike also. Still debating that one). Another great video. Keep it up!
Some really nice looking watches there! My personal fave, is the one I actually own. Seagull 1963 chrono. Great watch!
I got the Guanqin in 2-tone and replaced the hands with dauphine hands. Totally elevates the look! An easy upgrade for under $10. Pair it with a nice brown leather strap for $20 and it ends up looking like a $200 watch.
FINALLY! was waiting for your upload jody! great video!!! From Brisbane ❤
Also the pagani world timer is also now available with a PVD coating on the case. Looks pretty awesome on the blue bezel cream dial version.
thanks jody. love looking around on ali especially MERKUR and SAN MARTIN
Really fun episode. I really need to get me one of the Steeldive Willards, put a nice tropic on it, and wear it all summer. The Lobini was really interesting, they did a great job catching the design and vibe of an old-school German deck watch. Thinking of the Dekla. And that powder blue Doxa homage, oh my…nice.
Good job! Although I already bought 16 watches this year and swore not to buy any more this year, I'll go have a look. I love that teal pilot's watch by SM.
Thanks for leading me astray again and for doing the leg work, Jody. Just bought the Pagani Quartz Chronograph (Phil). Best. Mark.
A great list. I just bought a Mission Impossible Casio DW-290, as the news is they're now discontinued because they're not doing electro luminesce any more...then realized you made a video about it a few years. It's a great watch by the way! Not ugly for me........and Jody, a compliment from my wife for you!! She says you look more handsome now, than you did back then. I'm hoping she won't be booking a flight from Istanbul to Sydney any time soon. 😉😜
The Sanda Tank is also a must buy. Was able to cop one, with a hugely discounted price at only 3£
Ohhh I got the Pagani GMT, Didn't realise when I got it that it had the NH34 movement :).. awesome video today! Don't usually like GMT's, but wanted a watch with the world time zones on the bezel for a while, and being as black and red and blue are my favourite colours and they do this in a variety of colours I had to go for the black n red, and it happens to be the one you covered too!
If anyone had any doubts Erebus watches were manufactured by the same people that make San Martin watches, then here you go.
As I already own a working Vostok Komandirskie GMT I won't need to buy another watch for at least 10 years.
This watches are unbelievable affordable. I ask myself how they can do that. Thank you for showing.
Thank you Jody.. Very well done and very useful!
Frank in Colorado
I'd give an honorable mention to the Heimdallr Monster line. Excellent watches that are frankly better than the originals. And at around $150-$170 USD. Some of the colorways are also unique and complement the originals nicely.
Great work on this video! I have never clicked so many links for watches on a video. Doubtlessly I will be making some purchases :)
Brilliant Video Dr J, one of the best I have seen. I am going to watch it again tomorrow. I love the Chronos (Rolex Look alike ) ........side note I have this watch buzzing around in my head from our good friend Dave from Japan and it's the latest Vario. It's 700 US and about $800 US on the bracelet. Cheers.
Baltany is the best. I have the 1926 homage and it's gorgeous. I hate "homage" watches, where you pretend to be something that you are not and then have the watch which every time you look at reminds you of the sad fact. But this little gem..... nobody knows what it is. Buy the one with gold accents and be blown away.
The black gold or white gold?
That's a big list!! Some great prices too.
I got the Steeldive SD1970 last year (in black) - fantastic tool watch
Jody: I really like your reviews and your presentation. Keep up the good work!
I managed to get that Pagani orange moon watch for $28 a couple of months ago. An absolute steal at that price.
I was actually thinking of passing on this years sale and I have only bought one San Martin quite a while ago (its still going strong btw) but having seen that San Martin SN0033 and the price, I think I may have to dip my toe in the San Martin pool one more time. Looks beautiful, would be nice with a smooth bezel as well. Thanks for another cracking video. Keep it up
The Chronos looks great. San Martin do some fabulous looking watches
Excellent, informative video, as I am new to the hobby. Two of the three watches you are giving away on my wishlist as far as brands to consider.🤔👍
The $5 Transformer probably keeps better time than an Automatic ROLEX over time .......lolol
Beware; the Sugess chronograph has a different (more round) case currently, even though the basic pic for the listing remains the same...
Maybe because of the copy right.
I am in awe. You are the man!
That is a lot of options for holidays presents, need to get me some of these watches :D The SKMEI is definitely a buy :D
100%! Massive fun for $5!
@@JustOneMoreWatch Definitely, i got a several of them last year, and gifted them to the young kids in my community, they loved it :D
Just when I think I've bought my final watch of 23 Jody comes along with twenty tempting treats! Pulled the trigger on three, can't go wrong really for £200, and eagerly await my first Ali express batch
As a newer viewer, I'm almost unreasonably pleased with myself for deciphering your shirt all by myself lol.
Jody! So excited for the 11/11 video as always, but I though for sure the blatany historiques 1921 would hit the list!
Your best video ever! Thanks for the suggestions.
An idea for a future video: "good crystal vs bad crystal". We can all look up exactly what is the difference between the variants, pros & cons; having it explained with examples of what we're looking at, is priceless.
Doubly recommend that San Martin GMT. Purchased a blue one as my wedding watch and during a previous sale based on your video. Looked fantastic the day of and on the honeymoon
Got the addiesdive white dial Willard homage after watching Jodie's review. It is just fantastic for the price, wearing it on a olive green tropical rubber strap
Love Jody’s Ali reviews
This list is 🔥
Thanks for the overview!:) will you do a review of the Ixdao Engineer soon?
Great video very interesting thank you
Nice lineup!
YESSSSS i've been waiting for this!!!!
Jody saves us hours of scrolling though Ali. I might actually be productive at work today.
крутая подборка. отличное видео! Respect!
Dammit, gonna have to buy yet ANOTHER watch box, thanks mate.
Thanks, Jody. My cart is loaded and waiting for tomorrow!
Cracking Info great presentation
Haven't seen people mentioning Guanqin for quite awhile, I still love that watch tho
Cracking review ❤
I was hoping you were going to put the Pagani Rolex Explorer II GMT homage on the list.
Bought mine last year after seeing your glowing review for $75.
Still chugging along at an acceptable (to me) +9 seconds a day.
Love my Suggess 1963 panda dial too.
Have a Tandorio 42mm (Panerai homage) in the chart now that i been looking at for awhile. But that Baltany really looks good to.
Would love to see a series of quirky watches like the Skmei transformer watch, with the same review format :D
I've got my eye on the SM SN0129, texture dial.
So I was going to say I love you and hate you Jodi for temptation but it's more accurate to say I love you and my wife tolerates the consequences of that affection. Great list this year!
The jump hour looks great, I will get one
Be sure to investigate the reviews on that one, multiple reports that on some of these the "jump" doesn't take place at the correct time, but can happen several minutes before or after the minute hand crosses 60. Whether that's a big deal is kinda up to the customer, but I would personally find it annoying. "Let's see... watch says ~10:58, but it jumps 4 minutes early, so really it's ~9:58..." I'm sure you'd get used to it, but no thanks. Manufacturer is aware of the issue and does not consider these watches to be defective or outside specifications, it's just normal tolerances for the movement design. (So no warranty repair/replace if your copy is jumping 5 minutes early/late.)
Seestern s434 is a must to check out as well.
I must say I've gotthat Sugess Revival, its a beauty.
My favorite watch right now is " Sugess Day Date " ( I love any good Rolex day date homage) . Just classic. Pagani Design have a Day date as well.
I added a Sugees auto chronograph to my cart. Been watching for a while.
Thank you 😊
Thanks for all the helpful suggestions. My bank account is screaming noooooooo!😊
Epic, should have included some titanium and bronze watches
I came up with 4 watches to buy yesterday, the 11th, adding the last one partly to take advantage of the highest level discount coupon. Glad I pulled the trigger yesterday because today (the 12th) the big coupon is no longer available to me. So something I don't recall hearing from any UA-cam watch types is that the real good sale is only for one day. Now things don't look nearly so attractive. Like your channel BTW.
So many options to sort through here, going to need some time to process it and think about it all
The Cadison bracelet looks good, and has a Zenithy crown
Thanks Jodie for another year of introducing me to watches I don’t need but get influenced by your analysis and presentations and buy anyway My watch collection has spiraled and you are responsible How do you feel mate? Best wishes for the Festive season and I am looking forward to receiving the Erebus in the New Year cheers Gordon
Thanks, Jody.
Think I'm going with a Tandorio 62mas homage this time around. I know you've said you'll never review one because the name reminds you of going to a curry house, but as a fellow curry lover, I actually love the name for the same reason!
Careful around water. Their QC for assembly is notoriously haphazard.
@@RandyWanat Yeah, I don't intend to actually dive with it. I'm assuming it'll be good enough to handle rain and hand washing.
Damn it Jody! Just when I told myself no more watches for the rest of the year, you remind us about the 11/11 sale. 😫👍
It's a good feeling to have those "homages" from big brands sponsored by pagani on ur wrist but we all know what happens to them after a few months 😅😂🤣..u should include the pagani "longines spirit" look alike!😃
Loving that Sugess revival chronograph but unable to find the squarish body version on aliexpress anywhere.
The “sugges revival” has disappeared, and the link leads to a similar watch from the same brand, but with another round case, not a square one. I have searched for it without success on Aliexpress. a shame.
I've used the transformer to work but I work in a Toy store so it is very apropiate. 😂
Jody.
You are the best!
I’m sorely tempted by the Thorn Fifty Fathoms homage
Hruodland have a nice chronograph version of that one called the Flyback. The reason I prefer it to the Thorn is the shorter lugs, Thorn's 50mm rather flat lug to lug just doesn't look good on my 7 1/4 inch wrist.
It is a bit more expensive though at around €190.
Just checked, it's €157-ish on their own website.
Damn....i do like that watch, thanks for reminding me. 🙄
Picked up a Steeldive 1970, close enought to a Captain Willard for me.
