Pivotal video for the online watch world, congratulations Jody! So much value here, definitely the best way to commemorate this milestone! You have inspired me since the first day of my KZbin journey. Keep up the good work!

[@AvgJoeWatchReviews]

Same here Aviv. 👍

[@jfilm7466]

After three years I'm still really happy looking down at my wrist to see my Turtle. The thing I love about flipping watches is getting them secondhand, trying them out and selling them for the same price or for a profit.

[@jimwilliams9430]

ordering a san martin...told my wife you approve, and it's just one more watch....didn't go over well

[@JohnBuckmaster-sw3wm]

Thanks Jody! As I watch this list I realize just how many watches I’ve purchased based on your recommendations. I have owned 9 out of 15 with 7 of them still in my collection. And that is Just THIS list. Thanks for all the great reviews to date...looking forward to the next! Cheers!

[@hushanecampbell9251]

Cheers bro!!!✌✌✌

[@WatchUnwind]

Sweet John ! sounds like you have a pretty mean collection I am a little jealous

[@JohnBuckmaster-sw3wm]

Watch & Unwind Yes I’m lucky… I wouldn’t say that I have many ‘high-end’ watches...Just one true luxury watch, A bunch of what I guess would be called mid-tier and the there are Casios , severalChinese specials...Lots of entry-level divers etc....I enjoy the shopping and collecting more than saving up a whole bunch of money for a very expensive watch! Cheers!

[@garethedmonds9879]

Same 😊

[@mccstuff]

Just want to say that I appreciate your enthusiasm you put in to these reviews.

[@Crackity_Jones.]

Before I buy a watch I always check for a review of it from you. The lighting and quality of the wrist shots as well are the best out there

always good to do some homework before you make a buy I do the same thing

My Vostok GMT arrived this morning, and I immediately partnered it up with the mesh strap that separately arrived last week (??); I'm absolutely DELGHTED with it, so big thanks to Jodie for flagging this one up to us all. And the Vostok mesh strap from Meranom is fab - can't quite believe how good it is! 😎

Excellent to hear that mate! Yeah, the mesh is amazing for the money. The combo most certainly deserves a place on the list and on your wrist. Cheers!

Terrific review. Love your value for money attitude. While Ive got a few luxury pieces in the collection, who doesn’t love a bargain? I own half of these and agree 100% with your assessments. The Casios are no-brainers, and the Combat Sub, Lunar Pilot, and Seagull are terrific pieces. Keep the videos coming.

Citizen Promaster was my first conscious ‘watch collection’ purchase. And I love it. As for Casio G Shock 5600, you cannot go past the drunk purchase G-Shock DW 5600BB-1CR. Pure stealth.

[@BazonBlades]

From on content creator to another, congratulations on your success. I hope to break one million views this year so I can only imagine how 25 million must feel. You do consistently good content. And you cover a product price range that is often overlooked on other channels. IMO, you provide an important service to all the "budget" horologists out there in videoland. Best of luck to you in the future.

[@mahirasif8236]

It might be a bit controversial but I've just brought a Seiko Presage Cocktail Time for £230 and it has to be the best value for money dress watch. I know it doesn't have sapphire but the dial cannot be beat until you spend a whole lot more.

Great list Jody and well done with the channel. Thanks to your earlier review I have one of those komradirskie 650539s currently on it's way from Chistapol. Ae1200 is another good choice although I don't wear mine that much. Personally I would choose the mrw200 analogue over the w217h. I recently picked one up for a tenner on Amazon. outstanding watch at that price.

[@markbyrum4743]

Re Seiko SARB clasp: Seiko has a titanium micro-adjust clasp (I believe it is for the Marine Master) which can be found for around US $70 on eBay. I've started using this clasp on various watches, even non-Seikos. It works great. Have a try. You won't be disappointed. Good vid. Keep at it!

Congratulations on your 500th Video. Its quite a big deal. I really enjoy your perspective on watches. Even if my taste are different from yours. Don't get me wrong, I don't find any fault when its someone's passion. Watches are quite a personal experience. Your opinions are sound. I'm not really a fan of electronic watches for myself. But I certainly don't look down upon anyone's taste. For the same reason that I don't appreciate people judging my taste in watches. I have a large wrist, 8". I have a couple of 40mm watches. I don't wear them very often, they just look too small on me. I've collected watches since I was a boy. 55 plus years later and I have 100s of watches. Yes I know I'm obsessed. I'll most likely trim the list someday sooner rather than later. I've gone on too long. I just enjoy talking about watches. Again Great job.

I enjoy this timepiece! I Love my Pro Treks one Model Retailing for $1100.00. I’m Blessed to have a wonderful collection of Timepieces! I’m a “Watch addict” and thoroughly enjoy Your Videos.

I'm glad you put the CW at the end. If that watch would have been released by seiko we would see people preaching the seiko gods on every corner. It would outclass the sarb, the skx and any other high-value seiko of the past. That CW is just immensely good for money.
