Cestrian (Master Series) | BRITISH brand at AliExpress prices!! | Should you BUY one?? | Watchnation

[@rev.waynet.oleary7387]

On the back of this review, i bought the version 2 which has screw down crown, and 200m resistance as well as other refinements, as covered in this review. I am not disappointed. This channel is great, because it covers watches that are reachable for most enthusiasts.

[@WatchtheTime]

Am glad I could help mate and I really appreciate your kind words. Top man and enjoy the watch 👍👍

[@johnswatchjoint]

Nice review Simon. Cestrian are a really good option. Great spec from a trusted UK retailer.

[@WatchtheTime]

I appreciate that John and it definitely ticks a lot of boxes, for many different reasons as well. I hope you’re well 👍👍

[@bogrot69]

Really nice looking watches. Their divers look good as well. When I see the specs available at that price from a small brand and compare them with what Seiko offers for twice the price. The 5KX for example. It's really unlikely I'll ever buy another new Seiko. Sapphire is pretty much standard in most watches now to begin with. Hope you are well Simon.

[@WatchtheTime]

I hear you mate and it’s definitely something that I’d harder and harder to understand with Seiko, especially with other brands offering Sapphire Crystal on equivalent costing watches. Thanks for watching my man and I hope you’re well too 👍👍

[@PINKFL0YD-s2h]

These are a solid watch, along with the divers. I got the pair about 3 months ago.Had absolutely no problem at all. I wish companies would cover the NH! It's not a nice movment to look at. Plus it would make it slightly thinner.

[@WatchtheTime]

Nice one my friend and good to hear you’ve had a good experience with yours, as it’s a very good affordable watch 👍👍

[@cestrianwatches]

👍👍

[@XjohnjohnX88]

I think it's great for the price. Similar to good watches on AE, but with a better warranty, and certainly a better QC. Unfortunately in France you have to pay taxes, but it's so good for you all in UK. As always, a great review! Thanks Simon.

[@WatchtheTime]

Sorry to hear that mate and that is a real shame as it’s a great affordable watch. Thanks for your continued support my friend 👍👍

[@XjohnjohnX88]

@@WatchtheTime no prob, mate. Even with taxes, it's still a good price 😊

[@cestrianwatches]

Thanks for sharing your review!

[@WatchtheTime]

No problem at all - thanks for watching 👍👍

[@Olddirtytiger]

As someone with 3 Cestrian Watches and over 100 watches including ali express watches, these are great value watches great quality feel to these bad boys, milled clasps, automatic, stainless steel with sapphire crystal,,,, no brainer

[@WatchtheTime]

I can see why mate and that is one hell of a collection you have - enjoy 👍👍

[@cestrianwatches]

We will always check the boxes!

[@rev.waynet.oleary7387]

Great review, very helpful. You can adjust the end link woble, next time you take the strap off, put some cloth between the grips of pliers, and very very gently squeeze, or simply press carefully with your finger abd thumb. Really enjoyed that review, and the way you spoke...thank you!

[@WatchtheTime]

Thanks for the tip mate, I’ll be sure to do that next time and much appreciated for your kind words - means a lot 👍👍

[@anthonydevono8833]

I looked at their offerings bit Ltd on colour choices but more importantly are they going to be checking quality of anything they send out? If they do they will be better than the Ali lottery

[@WatchtheTime]

Given their alignment with Watchnation, I would be pretty confident about their QC but nothing is ever 100% just look at Seiko 👍👍

[@cestrianwatches]

Every watch goes through a QC process and rest assured that you have a 2 year warranty as well.

[@D3ZG1978]

Got the master and field edition and I’m very happy with them!

[@WatchtheTime]

Nice one mate - enjoy 👍👍

[@wiseguygazette]

Do they wear similarly? Or does the field wear bigger?

[@Clarioner1]

On Amazon too now, with Prime delivery!

[@WatchtheTime]

Ah nice one mate, thanks for the information 👍👍

[@enzobruschini565]

I’m about to cop one of these in the field series and black dial! I’m loving these beautiful timepieces!

[@WatchtheTime]

Ah nice one mate. I’m sure you’ll love it, it looks a really stunning watch 👍👍

[@enzobruschini565]

@@WatchtheTime it sure does! I will order it on Amazon and it will arrive quickly with prime so I won’t have to wait for months like the Boderry voyager in bronze

[@WatchtheTime]

@enzobruschini565 good shout mate 👍👍

[@BAF605]

Been a customer of Watch Nation for a while and had some good Seiko and Hamilton deals in the past. I bought diver and this one to show some support as they are very affordable. Happy with both for price paid. I would have covered the movement and brushed the bracelet though.

[@WatchtheTime]

They definitely offer some great watches on there and it’s where I purchased my Khaki King from. In addition, they definitely offer great value for money and you make a couple of good suggestions 👍👍

[@cestrianwatches]

👂

[@briancolyer8483]

Very reasonable proposition, theyve ticked the boxes....the design isnt trying to wow which is great, i like that approach, somebody has sat down and said "this is going to be a daily" ....what would i change, go all brushed offer a non date version and screw down crown....srew down crowns just give us more peace of mind....with the above adjustments id reip there arms off grabbing one....🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚

[@WatchtheTime]

A very good summary mate and I wouldn’t argue with any of your propositions - thanks for watching 👍👍

[@alanhodgkinson3137]

This is another watch that ive been eyeing up recently. Theyve released a V2 of the master series which has got rid of the clear back and upped the water rating to 200m. I really like the look of both the blue and champagne dials. I really like the look of their field series as well.

[@WatchtheTime]

Their V2 watches look the business. I purchased one on eBay but the condition wasn’t as described and I sent it back. Definitely will look to feature another Cestrian on the channel in the future though 👍👍

[@brianmsahin]

Nice one Simon! Am I first to comment? 😂

[@WatchtheTime]

It would appear so my man - thanks for your unwavering support, it means the world 👍👍

[@thebusinessfirm9862]

Nice review, mate. Now I know about this, I will get this instead of a Chinese watch. Hopefully they ship to Australia. Cheers.

[@WatchtheTime]

I’m glad I could bring it to your attention my man and I appreciate you watching 👍👍

[@Shri_V]

The intro tune is quite catchy, mind sharing the name?

[@WatchtheTime]

Cheers mate, it doesn’t have a name as it was made for me by my brother some time back, he’ll be delighted that you like it 👍👍

[@Shri_V]

@@WatchtheTime Oh that's great, hes talented! Is there any way I could download it for personal use?

[@WatchtheTime]

I’m really sorry mate there isn’t but I’ll be sure to let him know how impressed you were. He also has a KZbin channel so feel free to check him out - youtube.com/@speakvolumesentertainment8215

[@S-Ltd1000]

I had one of these for about 5 minutes. Not a bad watch but mine went back due to a misaligned hour hand.

[@WatchtheTime]

Sorry to hear that mate. Did you get it replaced or refunded??

[@JonTheComputerDoctor]

That can happen with any brand, I hope you got it sorted or a refund,

[@marcelovasconcellos6067]

looks good, bump it up to 42 throw a Miyota quartz movement in there, price it at 50 you have a seller.

[@WatchtheTime]

That would definitely sell also 👍👍

[@cestrianwatches]

All of our watches utilise automatic movements and we have no plans of changing that :)

[@stonerat1]

shame about the end links and the polished links, however I do like the dial a lot and it looks good on that strap

[@WatchtheTime]

Well your in for a treat then mate as they are releasing a V2 with an all brushed bracelet very, very soon 👍👍

[@stonerat1]

@@WatchtheTime I will keep an eye out, cheers!

[@peterk.4385]

You can't build one yourself for that money well done Cestrian ,lume dots are nice touch ,some microbrand should learn from it, you do not need to charge so much for of the shelf parts watch .

[@WatchtheTime]

Very true mate and I appreciate you watching - I hope you’re well 👍👍

[@cestrianwatches]

Appreciate the kind words!

[@AlexanderB.]

It's a nice watch, I like it. Except for the polished centre link bracelet. As we've seen the end link fit has room for improvement and the bracelet will not age well.

[@WatchtheTime]

Most definitely mate and pretty much bang on to what I thought - thanks for watching 👍👍

[@rev.waynet.oleary7387]

V2 is very good.

[@WatchtheTime]

I’ve seen that and have purchased a couple of times, only for something to go wrong, which is why I haven’t featured one - it’s been unfortunate

[@doghouseriley4732]

V2 has the screw down crown. This watch has 100 metres but no screw down crown...... good luck with that. Also no "Made in Britain", so I can guess where it is really made.

[@WatchtheTime]

I hear you mate. Thanks for watching 👍👍
