I’m glad someone else has discovered how awesome Tandorio watches are. I bought one last year because of the specs and the price. Now I’m addicted. I’ve purchased at least seven more since then, and I’m amazed at the quality and specs of all of the ones I own. They’ve made excellent additions to my ever-growing watch collection. They’re nicer than my Seikos as well. Better specs and a Seiko heart. Why would I keep buying Seiko all the time? I still do, but I’m much more selective and smart about those purchases. Thanks for the video…👍🏼

I wore my Tandorio bronze pilot for two weeks in St. John,s VI. Spent hours snorkeling with it on my wrist everyday to depths up to 40 feet without a worry. Watch was water tight, patinated to a beautiful aged bronze color in only one day. It is now over 2 years old and runs gains 1 sec / day.

Tandorio, Pagani, Cadisen, Addiesdive all offer good budget pieces. It's crazy how they can offer such decent spec for bargain prices, as long as we realise that there will be a slight trade-off occasionally, poor lume, average bracelet etc. Enjoy your collection sir

Cool collection. They are great watches for everyday use. The only thing I would say from experience is, do not go into the water with them. Other than that they are fine. My very first one fogged up inside when in a severe rain storm....in Scotland they are frequent of course but it was ok when left to dry but I think 30m WR is how I would personally rate them....but I still love them and buy them :)

On a side note, I have the Heimdallr SKX with the Yellow Dial. I do like your Orange Dial Tandorio.

I bought the fifty fathoms version from this brand. I said I paid seventy three dollars. It's the cheapest watch I own I only bought it for styling. That being said it's holding up. The loom is crap it doesn't stay lit for a while. One big thing that I noticed is that they all have a similar casing and a different rotator bezel. The rotator bezzle has quite a bit of play. It's not the best quality but it keeps good time so far. I mainly buy swiss movements so this was outside of my comfort zone. I guess only time will tell.
