Thank you so much my friend and thanks for the tip on the Casiden 👍

[@michaelj8793]

Am I the only one who thinks that the way you say SanMartin makes them sound like a way more expensive watch I do believe that you are the only one who says it correctly Thanks Big Daddy for another great list Be well my friend 👍

[@Horologique]

Thank you so much my friend! So many others give me a hard time for saying ot that way, but I just say the way it comes to me more naturally 😁

Just a word on tritium....its great!...i bought a Epoch Time watch for the sole purpose of checking out a tritium watch, and while the watch itself is of average quality and not very remarkable, the tritium kicks any other lume off the boat,it is amazing.

[@Horologique]

That's wonderful ! Keep on enjoying it :)

Thanks for the video! Sorry if I missed something but how do you get the Seagull at 111 $? When I click on the link, it shows at 158 euros... Thanks!

Sadly we Europeans get screwed! Use link AEFR15 and you will get it at 134€ all taxes included 😁

I bought one of the Boderry Titanium watches directly from Boderry over a month ago. It was supposed to be delivered in 12 days. It still hasn’t shipped. They keep apologizing for the delay but nothing has happened yet. I wish I could tell you what I think about it but…

[@Horologique]

Thank you for the feedback. I believe they were taken by surprise by all the orders. Let's hope they deliver soon

[@Sicarius888]

Any recomendations for a larger auto diver that looks large, maybe 44mm+? Willard and Tuna looks small because of short lugs and I already have Sumo, MM300 and Addiesdive 44mm Tudor homage.

[@Horologique]

Totally, take a look at the review I made of the Seagull Seastar, a 44mm watch that's really well put together and solid as hell: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iabGeoGjhJ6arrM

[@johnnemo6509]

great selection! I would go for the Cadisen over the San Martin BB58 but very hard to decide between the seagull 1963 and the Baltany Tricomplex...seagull would probably edge the decision because of the sale price. What can you say about the Steeldive 1970 keeps getting better and keeps getting cheaper. If I didn't have one already this would be a sure buy👍

[@Horologique]

Thank you! The Seagull is mechanical and more classic, but also more fragile. If you are in need of a daily watch then definitely the Baltany is the right choice, then they are 2 very different watches, why not have both? I do 😁

[@johnnemo6509]

@@Horologique Thanks for the advice. I sometimes buy vintage mechanical watches and its surprising how much more durable modern watches are in comparison. Buy both ..tempting but probably grounds for divorce...typical breakfast table conversation: Wife ...you love that Steeldive 1970 more than you love me! Me.....That's not true! [to myself. Please don't ask about the citizen pro-master]😖

[@infinitekronos]

The Steeldive is such a rock solid watch and the price is so good! Not to mention the lume is insane!!

Totally!

[@williamsipe1151]

I really like that Baltany. It doesn't appear to actually be discounted, I noticed you didn't talk about the great sale price 😉, but I've had one in my cart for quite a while.

[@Horologique]

They will be slightly discounted starting on the 11.11 😁

[@bumpyroad3251]

[@Horologique]

That's wondeful thank you for your support! Actually it's good to buy during sale events as prices are very low, and then restrain yourself during the rest of the year 😉

[@walthefl]

Hi, thank you for the video! When I open the link for the seagull 1963 it costs 156€. Is that the price we have to pay for it here in Europe or am I doing something wrong, since that’s more than 111$?

[@Horologique]

Hello and thank you for your good question. The sale starts tomorrow 11.11 at 7 AM European Time. However if you put the item in the cart you can come back tomorrow and it will normally be reserved for you for a time at the sale price😁

[@aliakay112]

Bb58 or pelagos or SN0109 with respect to build quality ? Which watch will have more lifetime ? It is gonna be my first san martin 🙈

[@Horologique]

I assume you are referring to the 3 homages. The best built quality I guess would go to the BB58, but it's very, very close, and the Pelagos homage has that on the fly adjustment that is just crazy good for the price.

[@aliakay112]

@@Horologique thank you for your helpful videos + comment. I think ı will choose pelagos because blue tone is more attractive for me.especially for summer. Its gonna be new brother of my tissot prx 🙃

[@_Frimer_]

Hi) I would just like to mention an amazing watch that I don't think you ever reviewed and it's an absolute steal. The Specht and Sohne "Aquanaut Chronograph" (Model SP0006) which is basically a perfect clone of the Patek Philippe Aquanaut Chronograph. It's a quartz movement (owned by Seiko). I already own the orange strap version and just ordered the newly released rose gold with the coffee colour strap.(which was my favourite colour combination but they only had it on their Automatic version (non-chrono) but for some reason only now they released it for the chronograph also. On Sale now you can get it for less then 50eur which is insane. This is an absolute blind buy and I'm daring you to review it😄 You can thank me later))

[@Horologique]

Thank you for the advice! I'm looking at them and wonder if they have the quartz with the sweeping hand or not, there's no description of the movement.

[@_Frimer_]

@@Horologique It has the TMI VD53C movement. It's equivalent to the Seiko VK movement but not sweeping but still excellent.

[@karlgustav5490]

btw, for us in france, seagull will be 155euros on your link ( actually 168)., without the FR code. and guess what, the 40mm is actually 16 095,44€; too funny 😂😂( out of stock of course)

[@damyr]

I've watched about dozen reviews for the Ali bargains, and all of them are talking about the same watches. The only quality made is that Baltany Chrono, with mecha-quartz... and all the rest are just mechanical crap-toys. It seems no one reviews some proper quartz watches. Do they even exist, beside Citizen and Casio??

[@petem.3719]

"Proper quartz". An oxymoron. If quartz was suitable for anything but disposable crap-toys, there would be plenty of "proper quartz" watches out there. As it is, there are lots of mfgs using the mecha-quartz movements, with or without chrono functions. And there's the big dollar crap Seikos with quartz that cost as much as an Omega auto. Knock yourself out. But a cellphone works better and is cheaper. I have that Baltany chrono. It's nice, esp the crystal, but the PT5000 Proximas and Cronos are nicer.

[@damyr]

@@petem.3719 I'm not sure if you're aware that a quartz watch is infinitely better than a mechanical one, in literally every way possible. And when I say "infinitely", that's not an exaggeration. But watch brands (especially big ones) are still forcing mostly mechanical watches, because most of people don't know the difference, so they make some giant profit just out of their ignorance. Otherwise, no one would produce mechanical watches, since 1970es and the quartz crisis. And a cellphone is not always suitable for telling time like a good quality watch, just because it's a cellphone, a big effing rectangle which you need to dig out from your pocket, instead of just throwing a glance over the wrist. If you'd think of that a bit, you'd realize there are plenty of work and social situations where a watch is irreplaceable. I'm trying to find a good quality, field/pilot style quartz (not mecha-quartz) watch, but not overpriced (around $200 or less), for a present... few of them. And, believe it or not, it's pretty hard to find such thing. Tho, there are plenty of mechanical crap-toys out there, with every imaginable design possible. I'm using the term "crap-toys", because compared to quartz, mechanical movements are nothing but crap. And they are toys because they demand fiddling with it every few days, and inevitable servicing every few years. Not to mention they are much more prone to damage, due to its sensitive internals. Well, I'm sorry if the term offends you, but I don't need that crap.

[@damyr]

@@petem.3719 Quartz is infinitely (literally infinitely, not an exaggeration) better than a mechanical movement. The problem is that brands force mechanical fiddling toys, because they make them more profit. And most people don't know the difference. Cellphones are not as convenient as watches, in many work and social situations. Baltany makes some good quartz budget watches, but not what I'm looking for.

[@damyr]
