Real Rolex Explorer -VS- Homage from AliExpress | Side by Side Watch Comparison

[@TheTownWatch]

Sorry for the audio problem! If I want to fix this I’m going to have to re-upload this video. Let me know, in reply to this comment if I should do that or not. Thanks.

[@Curmudgeoned]

No issues with sound. Great comparison. As far a the watches are concerned buy one and immediately lose £40, buy another and immediately make £1000.

[@guyo68]

I found the left ear only audio segment (during most of the video) bothersome. Would be great if you could fix this going forward.

[@WillyMcCoy50]

I would love to see a comparison with the new San Martin Explorer homage. Looks pretty close.

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

Really good comparison review mate. The real question for me is, does the Rolex justify the huge price difference? I personally think that the Bliger is underpriced and the Rolex is overpriced.

[@TheTownWatch]

This is the "Million Dollar Question"! Thanks for watching!

[@dylanharrington744]

You're right there I think. All Rolex Watches are overpriced, when you look at the Homage equivalents. There's no denying the quality and performance of a Rolex, but they are clearly overpriced, even compared to Tudor. They manage all the same Specifications, yet the Retail Price is a lot lower.

[@Mister_Phafanapolis]

Is the Rolex better? Yes, is it 100 times "more watch" and "better" than a Parnis or Bliger? No. In my estimation, no watch is really "worth" more than about $2,000 ish*. Compare something like a Christopher Ward or Ginault or Monta or a top tier Zelos or another high level "microbrand" watch to a "Swiss" luxury watch and the differences melt away in to split hairs. The luxury watches _might_ have more polished bevels and finer brushing but I don't think that makes for a better watch, just a fancier watch. Is there any objective, quantifiable improvement in the movements above a Sellita or a Miyota? Mechanical movements have been around for a few hundred years, how to build them ain't exactly a secret. Rolex doesn't own or invent the fully supported balance bridge, anybody can make a movement just like theirs. No matter how superlatively super chronometer certified the chronometry is, mechanical movements will never be as accurate as a quartz. *This doesn't include truly impressive, actual, high level watch making like minute repeaters, perpetual calendars or grand complications or wild watches from companies like HYT, Jacob & Co, MB&F, Ressence, etc. These are actual luxury, IMO.

[@TheTownWatch]

[@janreeves5443]

I recent bought the Bliger “36”. The watch actually measure just over 37mm. Mine has the nh35 movement. I am very pleased with the watch. The bracelet and the clasp are outstanding for this price point. I’ve had no problems at all with the clasp open/close mechanism. The glide lock system works quite well. One of the best bracelets I’ve seen. My watch is running a consistent +15/day. I may try to regulate it after I give it some more time. The lume is weak but I’m not a lume fanatic. If I want lume I wear my Seiko sbbn031 Tuna - it will light up the room.

The bezel on the blizer looks a little too thick, but still amazing quality for the price!

[@SuperPugCat]

yes why cant they get the bezel right its such an important design element

[@zelaznamalpa]

For this price? Homage win! This is simply.

[@RCPrepping]

I have fourteen watches in my collection. Including two Rolex Homages. Until I purchased and began to wear the two homages to the office, I never realized how many times a day I bumped, hit, or scraped a watch. This makes me think I may not be a candidate for the real deal. I think I will keep my money in homages.

[@TheTownWatch]

Thanks for watching! I get your point but on the other hand I feel watches are meant to be worn no matter their price point. I think scratches and dings, etc. can add character to any watch. My Santos has plenty of scratches on the bezel and I've only worn it lightly! Scratches super easily! But I knew it would happen and wasn't worried about it.

[@JohnBowl14690]

I know the Rolex is better, but on this video the Bliger actually looks better than the Rolex. That said, I give credit to Rolex for producing a good copy of the Bliger. Lol.

[@TheTownWatch]

😅

[@wed265]

Good review. But in reality that's not a $7,000 Rolex if you were to try to buy it now and you can't it would cost you over $20,000. For a couple of more dollars you can get the pt5000 movement which is a good movement and the watch would be around $100. So for $100 I think it's great compared to 20-something thousand especially in the teal version which I think looks awesome. Ray

[@TheTownWatch]

Thanks for watching! On the grey market these explorers are not $20k.

[@TheTownWatch]

Thanks so much for tuning in! I can agree with that.

[@Ktc99999-b]

How about going in knowing the rolex is 80x the cost of the Bliger?

[@davidtodd907]

i don't think anyone would expect the same level of Rolex quality with the BLIGER. Bang per buck the BLIGER wins hands down for me by a significant margin. It's a really nice looking watch on my wrist and it's cheap enough that i don't care if it gets scratched. I paid £65 for mine - NH35/ Sterile version and it is never out of time by more than +3sec/day . I get bored with the watches I wear as there's always something new that I fancy - at the price I paid for the BLIGER , it s a 'throw away' item when that time comes or i move it on.

[@TheTownWatch]

Great points! Thank you for watching and commenting! Glad you’re enjoying your Bliger!

[@highintensitypt]

I'm not a huge fan of how high the Rolex crystal sits above the bezel, I think the Bliger wins a point on that one.

[@Brantoc]

Homage watches are fine. That is kinda the low end of Homage. You can get decent ones like the Steinhart Ocean 39 GMT, which is legit nice, affordable and available. Most of us can't spend $200k, but for $2k can get a nice collection and don't want to wait 3-6 months for an AD order.

[@TheTownWatch]

I wonder why couldn't Bliger or Tisell make the center links smaller so the lug to lug is not over 50mm.

[@TheTownWatch]

I don't know! Thanks for watching!

[@kendalgee5808]

I have a $12,000 36mm white gold fluted datejust. If you buy a Chinese knock off replica with polished stainless steel, tiny screws on the jubilee bracelet, crystal sapphire lens, with a generic swiss ETA movement, they are virtually the same watch. The generic swiss automatic movement will probably last longer & be cheaper to mantain. The luxury watch industry is a scam.

[@wayneturner1336]

Great show, wouldn’t bother with an audio fix, couldn’t hear it on my phone to be honest. I spent some time saving for the watches I wanted and I found that there’s a real sense of appreciation and respect for the item, whatever it is, when you have a goal and achieve it. An homage watch, and I do have one that I use as a beater/lawn mowing/ditch digging watch and it serves its purpose. Could I wear an homage as a serious watch daily? I don’t think so, that’s just me though. They serve a purpose, like the other fellow said: imagine what a company can do if it can produce such a reasonable copy of a higher end watch if they invested the time and the money in new design items? They could do remarkable things! In my opinion, which is free, and worth exactly what was paid for it....

[@TheTownWatch]

Thanks for watching! I definitely share your sentiments. I’m not into homage watches personally either.

[@The_Story_Channel]

A good side by side, thanks. If you were to scrutinize the homage without comparing it to the Rolex, is it all that bad? it does not seem like it is for the price.

[@TheTownWatch]

[@fadedsincedayone]

Just a respond to the sound of the movement spinning that’s a miyota movement which are super loud. I bought a different bliger with the pt5000 and it’s so smooth as the Rolex. Something to keep in mind nh35 is also pretty loud

[@henrigraber2741]

the proportions on the Rolex are very subtle, making the Blider clumsy looking

[@unclekevin5094]

That was a really interesting and great review. I have both the Bliger homage and a 1995 Rolex Explorer Ref 14270. I use the Bliger as an everyday watch and the Rolex when I want to treat my self. The Rolex is 36mil. However i have to say that although the Bliger is great, the Rolex for some reason is so much more comfortable to wear. Once it is on after a few minutes you forget you are wearing anything. The weight, the size, the suppleness of the strap and the overall quality of the case and build combine to making it feel like a part of your wrist. I would like to see both on a Timegraph just to complete the comparison. Happy Christmas.

Good review. Very helpful. They sell this with the PT5000 (ETA 2824 clone) now. And still $100~. So it was an instant buy for me.

Hello. An excellent comparison review. Except for one important thing. You obviously put time and effort into this and it is appreciated but then why not synchronize the two watches? So much easier to compare the dials, hands etc. Surely. That was somewhat frustrating to watch in that respect. I would like this comment to be more of an observation than a criticism as its a good review otherwise. Incidentally, I have had first hand experience of both the real thing and a Parnis copy and the latter has the slightly larger indices and numerals, so closer to the Explorer in that respect but a thicker case which is more Milgauss in style. The Tisell would appear to be the closest homage to the Explorer but is more expensive than others of a similar ilk. That's my tuppence worth. All the best to you.

[@TheTownWatch]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with regard to synchronizing the two watches! I see why this would be helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@ccooper8785]

The Biger would be the perfect watch if only they would fit the brilliant VH31 quartz movement instead of the terrible NH autos. We all know these watches will be discarded as soon as they require any servicing which will almost certainly be in less than 5 years.

[@DavidSchwartzjr]

Josh! I am playing catch up on my youtube videos to watch but I am so glad you were able to make this video for us to see!

What you have to ask is, does the Rolex look 100 times better?? I think it may look a dozen times better maybe even a couple dozen times better but 100 times better?? I think if we’re honest no. Not 100 times better. So then you have to ask am I buying a watch to wear everyday or am I buying a heirloom to pass down?? And I haven’t even brought up the cost of servicing the 7k Rolex😱😱🤯😱 but I can guess it will be $1500 easily. Every 5-7 years $1500. For life!!!! Wear or no wear because oils and lubricant dry up after about 7 years. For 1500 you can buy 21 bligers!!! Heck you could smash a couple of bligers just for fun at this ratio. To me if your not buying to pass down why deal with the horrendous cost of high end??? And I am speaking as a Rolex GMT owner just so ya know.

[@TheTownWatch]

Great review. I think it's obvious from this comparison that the amazing heritage and history of the Bliger shows how far it is ahead of this Rolex that is so obviously copying the wonderful work of the experienced Bliger designers. The technology required to get that easy-remove system on the bracelet screw is probably beyond technology that Rolex can produce, which is surprising given the price of the Rolex. Then we have the SUPERB Miyota movement with non hacking technology compared to the cheap Swiss movement in the Rolex. It's a pity Rolex can't design their own watches and have to copy Bliger.😐

"For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance"; this in response to your "important note". To address the video, apart from the absence of some sharp edges, the Rolex does not come off too well in the final analysis. The Bliger is a bit chunkier, but that says nothing about its build quality. The Rolex has a more refined movement, but is it arguably better? Are a few seconds slow or fast so important? And then there is also the quite subjective "the Rolex feels to be more high quality"? How does that "feel" then? I am not saying I would actually buy the Bliger, but let's face it, the Rolex is sickeningly overpriced. So, rich man, shouldst thou so desire to enter the kingdom of god, swap thy Rolex for a Bliger.

I get it, it was originaly a toolwatch and as such, the design of it is highly functional.. but if you realy want a toolwatch, you dont buy a rolex homage with 30 meters of water resistance ;). and imagine, what a company, who is capable to produce a 70 dollar watch with an automatic movement and a bracelet with solid links and endlinks would be capable of, if they put a few bucks into design and then sold, maybe a 80, 90 or 100 dollar watch with an unique desin.

[@The_Story_Channel]

You answered your own question. Most people can't afford a Rolex so they buy a watch that looks similar, probably because they like the look of the watch, it is cheap and you can wear it daily without much fear of it getting damaged, if it breaks, you are not out much money. People that buy these homage watches know they have shortcomings and cannot be compared to the real thing.

The homage watches are incredible value. Rhey really show how overpiced luxury watches are, specially Rolexes and Patek Philippe.
