Hello, I hope to provide you with some interesting reviews of watches and other watch related videos.

Militado ML06 BB58 Homage First Impressions
Thanks to WatchDives for allowing me to buy this one at a discount.
Make sure you check out this watch and others they have for sale on their website:
watchdives.com
Thank you so much for WATCHing my video and I hope that you check out all my other content.
I release 3 videos per week, all watch related, including reviews, first impressions and general watch related topics.
I try very hard to diversify my content. Featuring known watch brands, microbrands, Aliexpress. Some I have purchased new, others second hand.
The majority of the watches that I feature I have purchased. I buy them to enjoy, wear, have in my collection. I then also feature them on this channel.
Being a smaller channel it is challenging to cover the cost of all the watches that I buy and partly because of this I have become an affiliate member with a number of companies including Aliexpress and Ashford.com.
If you are looking for watches from well known brands then it is worth checking out:

If you are looking for great strap options then definitely check out:

Very cool. I believe this is one of their “new” more affordable collection. It’s an insane amount of watch you get for the price. Looking forward to the full review!
It is really nice. I’m very impressed by it so far
I absolutely agree with you with the clasp. Also, the hand color is a bit off-white, while the indices has a bit yellow hue. Those would be my biggest critique for this watch. Nevertheless, I enjoy mine. Look forward for the full review.
Thanks for WATCHing
Wow, James…that’s a nice looking watch!
It is really nice. I’m impressed so far
Making a homage of a micro brand is crazy to me . Its a testament to how influential serica has become on such a small time scale
Thanks for WATCHing
The value for money with Chinese brands is off the charts. I just picked up two watches I had my eye on for weeks during the sale at Ali, and I didn't have to motgage my house to get them. I too, have Swiss watches I like and wear but, I had to save for months to get them. If I see something I want at Ali, I wait for a sale and buy it. I agree with ttatl, James is becoming my favorite as well. I just hope it doesn't go to his head, and we see him with an entourage wearing diamond studded Rolexes. Keep him humble Amy!
Hahahahaha. I don’t foresee that happening. But you never know 😂
It's nice looking. Imo, the dial is not grey enough. They should spit into 2 color-schemes: all black&white, and then all grey&white.
Thanks for WATCHing
Too much blather to start video!!!
Hahahahaha. Yes. I’ve been told that 😁
Nice looking watch, a side by side comparison with the similarly priced Corgeut homage would be interesting because they are priced the same. Monochromatic is the only way to go! As always,another great video from down under! Thank you
Thank you.
Kool
👍
I really like the strap on that Becker watch. Is that strap the one that came with the watch? Too cool!
Yes. That’s the one it comes with
Constructive criticism James.... I watched You for almost half the video before you got the watch out...
Thanks for WATCHing
Like the narrower than usual bezel
Thanks for WATCHing
It is a nice looking piece 👍. I picked up the San Martin sn008 a while back, and really enjoy it. Perfect size for my taste, only 1mm bigger. I think I’m in the same boat as you on the clasp of this one, not totally impressed. But for the money, it’s a great value proposition. Great video as always. Cheers James, and nice to see the continued progress with the channel 👍👍👍
Thank you.
Watch looks nice but I'd pay more for a high beat
That would be a nice upgrade
The link doesn't work anymore, do you have another source for this great strap?
s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_m027HU6
@@WATCHingJames thank you! It seems that the problem is on my side and the strap is not available for my location for some reason. Sorry about the false report, I just like to recommend people on reddit this video when they ask about straps and wanted to make sure it works since for me it says it's not available in my region.
👍
👍
Incredible low price. How low can the Chinese go with their prices?
It makes me wonder why some watches are so expensive. I understand there are some big differences between them. But really. That much????
They have VERY low labor costs.
That’s a lot of watch for the money. If Militado is Baltany’s Sister Brand, I’m very excited about them expanding beyond vintage military style watches. Thanks and looking forward to the full review!
I was excited when I saw this one. It feels like a great watch and then you consider the price.
The hands look a little rough up close....
The Marco lense shows a few imperfections. Can’t see it normally but does help to explain why it’s so affordable
Definitely a decent watch, but it looks like a thousand other watches on AliExpress. Sadly, I'm reaching a saturation point with the Chinese brands where 98% of the watches look like the other 98% of the watches. It's getting harder and harder to find truly unique and attractive watches with decent quality at a decent price. I haven't pulled the trigger on a watch in a while because I don't want my collection to start looking like a monolith of the same watch with slight variations. And unfortunately, I simply don't have a large budget, so that definitely limits my choices. Lol. Oh well. 😂 I'm curious if others are at a similar point in their watch hobby (journey?). Cheers
I’m definitely becoming more selective as well. Trying to find the watches that really speak to me. When I saw this it just made me want to export and then also compare it to my BB58 blue
I think the top two micros with the best quality is san martin and watchdives
Definitely two of the best coming out of china.
You can't beat San Martins for finishing
Great Watch this One 👍
Thanks for WATCHing
I watch tons of watch youtubers James but you're absolutely up there with my favourites mate, keep it up!
Thank you so much. It really is nice to have positive feedback. Help motivate me to keep making videos.
Thanks for WATCHing
I'm finally first! Good job James! Keep the videos coming.
Hahahaha. Thank you. You even beat me too it.
pls if u can put a summary and a lume shot it will greatly help during this sale.
Hello, sorry I will not have enough time to produce lume videos for this one in time for the sale. The lume does look good. The bezel is also liked.
How good is the lume? missing the review during the sale
I will have a video out today with some better footage but no lume shots in it. I save those for the full review videos.
I agree, the website is much more user friendly for us horaholics. I have this vision of you furiously typing away in the wee hours, on the hunt for timepiece gold. As my wife has said many times "Don't you have enough watches dear?" I think not, my lovely bride! Thanks James, great stuff today.
My wife states “there are only so many watches you can wear” Hahahahahaha
👍
👍
How does a screw down crown work with a manual wind watch?? Wouldn't you be getting a lesser duration of usage when you partially wind the movement so you can screw it down?
I don’t think it was the best decision. But one of the only negatives I’ve found with this watch
When it comes to Chinese watches, I only order from the individual websites. AliExpress has always seemed a bit scammy to me, no matter the price. Also, in today's world if a company won't take the time to create a website, I won't waste my time on it. So far I've had good experiences ordering directly from companies like San Martin, Boderry, and Sea Gull.
Thanks for WATCHing
I can't decide between these three SN058gx DJ Blue / SN0116 Black GMT / SN0121 Blue no date
So many watches. It makes it hard to decide
Awesome. Thanks!
Thanks for WATCHing
I’ve looked at their website, for exactly the same reason. Great vid.
Thanks for WATCHing
Thanks for sharing this James 👍
Thanks for WATCHing
Agree with all of this. I buy from Watchdives for the same reasons and also no tax, as Aliexpress charges. The SN0121T Titanium 39mm Pelegos homage is fantastic to wear. I bought their new GMT titanium version too just for travel.
Thanks for WATCHing
just got the sn0121t form aliexpress for 207+taxes-$20 coupon. Absolute steal
Very helpful, thank you! I've seen their watches on Ali Express, but never looked at their website. In your experience, how do their website prices compare with Ali Express and other sources?
They tend to be similar. But I like to go back and forth between them to get the best price.
Very nice. Thanks for sharing. I personally enjoy using brands’ official sites as well as Watchdives. It especially works out for me in California. If I take advantage of coupons codes and such, the price isn’t that much more than AliExpress (except during the big sales where they slash prices to the extreme on a few watches - mind you not all of them though). And the customer service is way better. Thanks!
It is great to have the option and I have to say. This website really does make it easy to see what the watches actually look like.
Thanks for WATCHing
Thanks for sharing! 😁👌
First time making a comment, have watched a lot of your videos. Really enjoyed this one. It was refreshing to see something different from all the watch channels I follow. Good stuff. I enjoy all your work.
Thank you. I really enjoyed putting this one together and plan to do more whenever I travel.
Have you considered getting the Hruodland F027 which is quite a close homage to this and do a comparison video? I think the gradient brown dial version is interesting.
It is already on my Wishlist. It would be very interesting to be able to compare them.
That’s a good looking watch. Although I’m thinking anyone who wants this style of watch probably already has a version of it. Still looking forward to the review. Thanks!
It seems really nice. Especially in this price range
Look forward to the review mate
Thank you
Is the dial enamel or matte? Looks really good
It has a gloss finish to it. Looks really good
Wish they make smaller version 🙏
I thought that too before buying one. As it turns out I actually like the size. It is not small. But it feels like it suits the design.
If they want to make a "pilot" watch, use an all white second hand for coordinated turns in flight.
Thanks for WATCHing
Hmm that looks like a Good one 👍
Thanks for WATCHing
IMHO the best looking watch in the world is absolutely the Rolex Cellini Cellinium 4251. which dial is strikingly similar to the Oris Artelier presented here...! Followed by the Reverso Enamel Dragon, followed by, for the mechanical complications enthuiast, the Bovet Récital 28 Prowess 1. This one is also a stunner indeed!
It is such a beautiful watch to look at and the way it wears is just incredible
Looks great!
Feels good too
