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 and I occasionally am given a watch from brands.
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.
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 love how you've waited for the bronze to patina a little before you do the review. I do love a bronze watch but feel like most of the reviews you see are straight out of the box while it's still all shiny and gold.
It's much easier to get an idea of how the watch will look most of the time this way so thank you James!
I’ve been wearing this one a lot. It’s reached my favorite level of patina.
It has been great to have such a good Bronze watch back in my collection
Great video showcasing an interesting watch. I appreciate many of the design elements and it’s nice to see a dial without unnecessary text. As regards the bezel, I find it rather loud.
Thanks for WATCHing
It's an ichthyosaur. A marine reptile that lived during the Mesozoic Era.
You are doing God's work my friend. Thank you.
Thank you.
I keep viewing this watch on multiple videos, it looks solid. Great video review.
Thanks for WATCHing
If we’re talking about bronze watches. I got the Signum Cuda Bronze Cathedral in blue last month. It is one of the prettiest watches I’ve seen, with the dial looking like stained glass. And I particularly love the blue mother of pearl bezel, super mesmerizing.
This auqatrident watch has a very neat bezel too of course.
Thanks for WATCHing
Just received the horizon in blue from them. Quite a beautiful watch. A unique dial with full lume. Such a neat, different look.
Thanks for WATCHing
I've never been really that big on bronze watches but these are really nice! Buckle is a little large on that rubber strap but overall well done. Love the black and blue dials!
It’s my favorite bronze I’ve experienced so far.
The creature appears to be an Ichthyosaur, early Triacic-Late Cretacceous .
Thanks for WATCHing
Love all things bronze. The bezel on this one is really interesting, won't be surprised to see a few others coming out like this
Thanks for WATCHing
That’s super cool. The bezel is next level. I’m not adding any dive watches to my collection this year though. (IX&DAO released a mini turtle that may test that though😅.) Thanks!
I have my eye on that one too. Thanks for WATCHing
You may like it more or less but the design has personality and looks like a solid watch. I like the buckle design as well 👌🏼👌🏼
It’s very cool. I’ve been enjoying having it in the collection
Great looking watch, love bronze if there was room in the box this would be in it. Like you really like the bezel, but vintagey with the numbers. Oh and the dinosaur on the rotor is definitely a mosasaur, ichthysosaurs look like dolphins. Cheers James.
This is one that has really taken my wrist time.
Beautiful watch!!
Thanks for WATCHing
That is a stunning bronze watch
It’s very cool
Looks beautiful!
Thanks for WATCHing
Great looking watch.
Thanks for WATCHing
now this is a nice watch - I've been eyeing off the green one for a bit now! it'll contrast with my red, bronze Aquatico big pilot style. That rubber band and buckle are just great and really suit the design language used on the bezel. Guess no Samsung S25 Ultra for me this year...
edit: its currently AUD $368 on aliexpress. Maybe they reduce the packaging because that's a big price difference. Which means I'm going to get it.. ahhh ha ha
Wow. Brilliant.
@@WATCHingJames yeah just bought the green one, with some discounts AUD$389 delivered, thats pretty much $200 off their store site (inc shipping). So thanks for reminding me about this watch!!
just received the green one - I know why its cheap on Aliexpress! It doesn't come with the silicone band ($74 US extra) and this is obviously a QC reject, the brushing is substandard - it has crosshatched brushing on one side, near one lug. Also the bezel has way too much back and forwards play. If this was Pagani, I'd be sending it back, but because its bronze I'm going to keep it and let it patina up. Leather band is great though. Anyway buyer beware.
I wouldn't consider a bronze watch, but this model looks stunning
I’ve really enjoyed this one. Has been getting a lot more wrist time than I would have expected
This is a beautiful watch. Wish it was around 40mm
I was thinking 41. Thanks for WATCHing
I like a large dive style watch, and have a bronze watch, but this isn’t for me. The bezel is too busy, the buckle is a bit over the top and the sea creature on the watch rotor seems a bit “cartoonish” and doesn’t really add anything, but at least that’s hidden for 99% of the time.
I’d be interested in a toned down version without the above features, so I’ll keep an eye out to see what they bring out in the future, or perhaps look a bit closer at one of the bronze Jaws watches instead.
Thanks for WATCHing
I love it
It really nice
Nice, til I see it's nh35 and hear the loser music from the price is right lol. Same money I can pick up a gray market bronze glycine with a swiss high beat. Just doesn't make sense to go this way.
Thanks for WATCHing
What an overpriced AliExpress brand. My bronze Zelos Hammerhead was cheaper than this. And i definitely know which is the better brand and watch... And WTF does it need a helium valve when it's 200m claimed water resistance?
PS, thanks for watching...
Hahahaha. Two very good points.
Thanks for WATCHing
