I like the 2nd one best, simple clear dial pilot style. I like it. For 55$ its perfect deal , thanks for the rveiw

[@GedmisLaguna]

Ok

[@galdeg1393]

Definitely the 1st one looks best. But it's 36mm, id like 36 or 39 mm. Thanks for the review.

[@GedmisLaguna]

same as me. Thanks for watching.

[@johnjones928]

The first is the best IMHO but i'd like it to be 38 mm with a date window, the 2nd one needs a type A or B dial because it's just too plain as it is. The 3rd is a bit of a mess, I really don't mind it's chunky retro looks but i don't like California dials and the lugs need to be curved down to the wrist. Thanks for the review.

[@GedmisLaguna]

thanks for watching

[@g43reviews68]

The 1st one is best forme , tru military look. Could be larger a bit. Others are also OK.

[@GedmisLaguna]

fair

[@Archetip0]

As aesthetics I prefer the third, the movement is identical, too bad about the absence of the window indicating the day.

[@GedmisLaguna]

The 3rd one is too rough for me. I like the 1st one best

[@AMERICANPRIDE1100]

I have the first 2 the problem is the bezel thickness only leaves a 30 mm dial which appears smaller than it actually is

[@GedmisLaguna]

yes the bezel of the 1st watch is too thick

[@griffn14]

I'd go for the third one. Those California dials are so cool. 👍

[@GedmisLaguna]

yet the case looks a bit to bulky and rough

[@griffn14]

Yeah, straight lugs and all. Bit unusual, I agree.

[@joelf5565]

I agree. I like the California dials, but not a fan of this particular case. Baltany makes a really nice California dial. Although I will say Tandorio is becoming my favorite Ali brand overall for their sheer value. I have their Frankenstein pebble watch in emerald green dial and it is spectacular. I just ordered that first one (Hamilton field homage) for $41.60. Insane price for an NH35 watch with sapphire crystal. I also like that they don’t do high polished finishes too often. I much prefer the brushed. And I also appreciate the smaller L2L options that AliExpress watches in general offer.

[@griffn14]

Yeah, you can get a really nice collection for stupidly little money. It's awesome.

[@ianclarke1683]

I have the first 36mm watch, same dial and strap and overall enjoy it, esp the size, however I feel the dial and hands don't match the case. Dial is too busy and very slender hands for a tough little case. I feel this would work better with a bolder simpler dial and wider hands. Just my 2 cents.

[@GedmisLaguna]

You are always welcome for your insights. I like the first watch 36mm, but of course, I just made the review, and didn't wear it every day.

[@rsg5850]

39mm looks good.. Cadisen 8220 is out.. Will you review that?

[@GedmisLaguna]

Not sure about it, Cadisen won't sent it to me this time ...

[@Arvydas_M]

Was there any additional custom fees for shipping to LTU?

[@GedmisLaguna]

The prices on AliExpress already include the VAT, so you won't pay any additional fees.

[@Aabshopstore17]

Hey gedmis laguna, what do u think about AVI-8 watch?

[@GedmisLaguna]

Didn't have one. Can't say much. I like pilot style watches especially the Flieger A/B type. From the pictures and videos, most of this brand watches look rather chunky. Maybe will get one for a review in the future.

[@s.sliackus459]

I got the first Tandario (what an idiotic name for watch brand) and I like it a lot. Yet it has few downsides - it is very small watch 36 mm, so you need to be of good vision to be comfortable with it. 39 mm would be better and in fact Tandorio has a 39 mm model very similar to this one, but only similar and not the same. Dial and hands are slightly different and that ruins all composition. Another issue is that lume is almost non existent. Yes, it is, it works, but on such small watch its unnoticeable. Otherwise it's perfect beautiful cheap (low budget) watch.

[@GedmisLaguna]

Agreed. Is it too small for my wrist? IMO, these days watches are oversized. sure it depends on the wrist size.

[@joelf5565]

@GedmisLaguna I think the 36mm looked best on your wrist. I have about the same wrist size (maybe even a tad larger) and find watches under 46mm L2L look more classy and mature on my wrist. Heck, I remember the 80s when 36mm would be considered oversized…lol.

[@ralphlawrence2355]

looks ridiculous even on a small wrist. just too small

[@GedmisLaguna]

Is it too small on my wrist? Well, maybe 38-39mm would be better. It's a matter of taste. But only last 10-20 years watches have become larger. 36 mm wasn't that large then

[@galdeg1393]

what is your wrist size ? 39mm is good size.

[@joelf5565]

To each their own. I personally find large watches to look silly and childish. Of course it depends on your wrist size. I have about a 7” wrist and normally don’t find 38-39mm is too large, but the L2L of 48mm is quite big for a 38mm watch. I have 42mm watches with shorter L2L. I also have a 36mm with a mere 41mm L2L and I find it looks perfectly fine on my wrist. Of course, my first watch as a youth was in the 80s when small was the fashion, so maybe I’m just being nostalgic.
