The Mission to Alaska is now the fourth watch that I've bought as a result of watching this channel, and it arrived last week. The other watches being the No Time to Dive Pagani, the Pagani GMT 'Steve McQueen,' and indirectly the Detroit Mint Pogue based on the strength of the bullhead chrono review. I love every one of them. I have to say that the MtAK is much prettier in person than in the pictures. The face has a metallic/pearlescent finish, the sunken sub-dials give it a really nice sense of depth, the printing is clean and sharp, and to top it off, the sapphire tachymeter ring looks amazing. The red really pops and gives the piece a sense of fun that has drawn a lot of attention and compliments. Thanks again for another recommendation that was spot on!
I have that Vintage Baltany in the aged creamy yellow dial. Brilliant watch and fantastic build quality! Often wearing it over my more expensive watches still, 3 months later!
The Cooper is a copy of the Sea Quartz 30, recently re-issued by Momentum. That one's a quartz as well. It's the watch Magnum P.I. wore in the first couple of seasons of the show.
I've already had the thorn and a baltany in my cart . After this video I tried to throw that cooper in as well but couldn't find it for the price you showed and some wouldn't even ship to the states even at the higher prices
I’m going for the San Martin SN0109. It’s a clone of the bb gmt, but at 39 mm. I love the original, but when I tried it on it was too big for my wrist. Looks absolutely stunning in the photos I’ve seen of it on social media
Nice to see more quartz watches are making an appearance. I get that there are purists who are only interested in autos but for me, having to check and often having to set the the time on a watch every time it comes out of the draw has worn thin. Autos are interesting to look at but if I'm buying a watch it has to be quartz, preferably solar and better still, multiband 6/radio controlled. I think Steel Dive are missing a trick by not offering a quartz option in each watch in their range.
I bought one of the Vietnam troop watches made by Qimei with the VH31 quartz movements Jody mentioned in the video and it's stellar. It's the best of both worlds. A quartz with the look of an automatic. I received mine from the seller in about 15 days to the U.S. so all in all good experience. The watch itself is like a combo between a diver and a field watch. If you happen to come across it while shopping AliExpress I think you will like that one. 👍
@@strongandco you don't need a winder for every single watch. Just a couple for your watches you plan to wear. Admittedly, you have to plan ahead a bit.
I find quartz more annoying then autos minus maybe solar. If you don't wear a quartz regularly, it just ticks away wasting away the battery and moving parts while not on a wrist. Making that decision if you should replace a dead battery after three years on a watch you might not wear much. Autos are the perfect large watch collection watch. They go into sleep mode until your ready to wear it. And if you're bothered by taking a minute out of your day to set the time, maybe you're not that into mechanicals period. Watch winders seem pointless to me, they're just a talking point. Most mechanicals lose or gain seconds or many seconds a day so why would you want to pull out a watch after 5 days that may have lost a minute or so of time. Not to mention the constant moving of parts when not in use just to avoid the dreaded setting the time.
I just ordered the San Martin Monoblock using your link. Itll be my first Chinese homage watch, but I’ve heard so many great things about San Martin that I wanted to see on in person. Chinese manufacturing has gotten extremely good in many places, like the high end folding knives being made by WE, Reate. Or Kizer, or the fantastic handmade guitars coming out of the Eastman factory. I’m excited to dip my toe into the Chinese watches scene.
An idea if you are contemplating the second or even third Willard. Look at the highbeat movement version. I bought mine two years ago and it's my daily 24/7. At the time it's $50 premium over the NH35 version. If the 7s26 we suffered for three decades has "loose" daily time keeping, the better nh35 is "soft". While the highbeat is much ”stiffer", returning within one second per day, with little long term drift. The only complaint being the eccentric screw for regulation has really small slot, and a little piggy to work.
Some stunners there. Those Baltany chronos are hot as is that Moser-lookin thing. Not AliExpress sale related, but I'd love to see you review the Sugess MoonPhase Master V3, compared to the Christopher Ward Moonglow...
Thanks for this list. Sadly, the Cooper MilSpec is significantly more than the price you're showing. Maybe it will be at a similar price on March 20th.
$75 USD now vs the $40. I hope that they didn't hope to have continued business because I won't buy from a company that's that dishonest and I doubt that I am alone in that.
I love to see more quartz movements getting some airtime. my daily driver is a Tag F1 and its a daily driver for a reason. never drops a beat. Great vid as always
Some awesome options indeed! I ended up buying the new cased seagull 1963 style watch, in Titanium 40mm case and sapphire crystal. The dimensions seems great and also the finishing!
I bought the 38mm baltany d12 and I have to say it's better than I thought! And I do owe the purchase thanks to your review on your baltany. Thank you!
for those folks noticing a $90 price for the cooper, it seems to be at this higher price when being shipped to the US. I bought one being shipped to the uk at the lower price. annoying….
Honestly I kinda like the crappy steeldive photos, it's kinda endearing and shows they're spending their cash on the watches instead of a fancy studio and photographer I guess. Btw the link for the Steelflier is incorrect, it's a duplicate of a San Martin one, could you fix it? Cause I'm looking for another VH31 watch for the collection.
I looked all over for that Cooper watch for $39.80. The link that you have listed the price is $91.89, and it's not the same one featured in the video. I even went to the stores page and couldn't find it there either.
Huge thanks for your Baltany Chrono review, it's my favourite watch at present too. I even loved the strap on yours and got the Barton Elite too. Lovely watch. 😀
Thanks for the heads up on that Cooper MilSpec Submaster! I couldn't help myself and included the SM8016 ST A version in my order, which will add to my main purchase, a Hruodland F018 Red sterile dial.
The cooper by QiMei seems to be actually unattainable at that price. Last time I saw it at that price it was a bait and switch. If I wanted the actual watch and not just the dial it would be $100. Price changed from $56 to $114 on sale day. Not for me.
Wow some really nice watches up for a bargain and I hope San Martin send you the SM Monobloc for review as it looks crisp in the photos. Great video Jody! 👍
The cooper is $75 and up I haven't seen it for the price in your video. And some won't even ship to the states . Maybe ali is price gouging depending on where you?
Thanks for your reviews, Jody! They got us through the pandemic and we still look forward to them. I am seeing some weird things on Ali though. Your pricing (in USD) doesn't always match the pricing I get when I try to check out. I use your links, btw. The PD Store page is great and it always matches up. I like that someone of your stature defends PD and I'd like to see you return to them more often in your reviews. If the fit and finish are not "Plutonian" in the conspicuous consumption "Geneva" sense of the term, then it's sufficiently close as to make very little difference, at least IMO. Best wishes from the opposite side of the planet!
PD have upped their game I think (probably all the Chinese 'cheapies' have). I wish they didn't use that name, though. Seems dishonest to be - A bit like calling themselves Lamborghini R&D or something. Pagani has an obvious association and they don't do any design (although it seems with the MtA someone had to get their felt tip pens out, at least 😏) - I've still ordered one, though 😆
@@marksaxby607 Pagani is an Italian name derived from the Latin "Village Dweller". I know all about the IP judgment against them in Europe and I, as I suspect you as well, think their European "Pagrne" dodge is kind of dumb. They could've gone with "Classic Design" or "Time Domain" or any other (correctly spelled) English alternative and been better off. That said, the people who irrationally hate PD would irrationally hate them anyway, so I don't let it bother me. 🙂
As of this minute the Cooper Milspec is $96.39. We will see what it is on the 20th. Edited to add: On the I Like Watches channel this watch takes the number 1 slot for increasing its price during the sale on the March 21st video.
I've got to say that trusting anything on AliExpress feels pretty dodgy after having 2 shipments "mysteriously disappear" in transit and one being a fake copy of a real product. But maybe i was just the unlucky.
I never could get a Marine Master 300. I didn’t know about them back in the day and, when I cracked aware of them, they were way too expensive. If San Martin is half as good as you say it is, I look forward to picking up one of those. I am also looking into the No Time To Die and Tiffany Dial Date Just Pagani Designs.
Some excellent possibilities there. I do think that Mars watch is a good option, I got the Uranus one a couple of months ago, blue with white ceramic bezel and it's very decent quality, I might get the red one too. One thing to note the edge of the case opposite the crown is ever so slightly sharp, not uncomfortable but it might bother some. I masked the side and used a bit of 600 emery paper gently rubbing for about 5 minutes or so and making it as smooth as silk. The bracelet is quite decent quality but also slightly edgy, the emery paper will fix that too. Definitely recommended at the price!
What bugs me about Ali Express is how mucvh the price changes according to where you live. for me, these watches are usually 30% more than the prices you quote. That first Pagani for example, is €133 now, and just over €100 in the sale.
@@aqwfervfgrt4 Dunno, it's a global audience I guess. Jody is pretty good at giving prices in USD, AUD and GBP for most things. It's AliExress that's the problem, with prices being 30-50% more expensive than what he quotes.
I wonder if that cooper was mis listed in price? Clicked the link and looked through the store and it's going for $96 not quite thr bargain that $38 was
As usual, the AliExpress machine upped the price as soon as your vid was released... the Pagani is now €133,96. For this reason alone, I gave up on buying watches from AliExpress. Total rip-off artists.
Quite tempted by the Thorn, seen it reviewed elsewhere positively by a TH-camr who had a Tudor. Might well wait till next sale though as digitals are my thing at the moment. A list that has grown after the Gshock video.
problem of the Cooper is its owner aggressively spamming on facebook groups driving everyone away from the brand Thorn logo font is much better than the one they had before
Great video. I think this time I will finally buy the Seestern 600t it wasn't on this video but you have reviewed it before. The new Addiesdive homage to the Willard with a white sandy texture looks great.
I'm up late, Jodie on the US Eastern seaboard, and you're posting early. I get a Welsh 🏴 t-shirt vibe and some funky watches via Ali Express. What could be better?
Thanks Jody. Def scored the Mission Alaska/Mars, the Thorn (Snowflake for ala BB 58), and a couple others (Seestern Doxa 300 homage and Pagani Daytona homage) 4 watches under 500, not bad!
It's good that Steeldive have listened and sorted out the issue of having that name on non-dive watches now. I remember talking to one of the stores a while back and they didn't really understand what I was getting at I don't think. I wonder what name they will go with for their more dressy style watches🤔 I've looked at those Borman watches a few times whilst browsing AliExpress, but never pulled the trigger. Perhaps I will do this time around.
Got the Thorn with the Mercedez hands and it is a nice watch, almost on par with San Martin. The only thing is that the clasp is like the Seiko's SZSB016 with only 2 micro adjusts, but you can still get an okay fit. Definately the Baltany military chrono is a great little watch, I guess the new one is trying to be a retro 60's chrono but with military styled arabics. Anyway Jody, another nice vid!
Damn it. I saw all the other reviewers posting their lists, and I thought for a minute that Jody wasn’t going to post one. Whew! Crisis adverted. It’s the Thorn or the SM Flieger for me. Great list! Thanks!
Just ordered that Cooper dive watch @ £38.77 UK its a no brainer, many thanks for the heads up and enjoy your commission ;) Just seen the price has just doubled on Aliexpress today!! Glad I got in yesterday :) The power of TH-cam eh?
@@SidBonkers51 Aliexpress price doubled day after my purchase. My order had "tracking number" but didn't move then order cancelled then seller offered substitute worth half the original price. Why do we accept/expect this crap?
8:50 🤔👍🤷🏼 I have two (waffle strap & steel brac) & am debating a 3rd also (to wear on NATOs - yeah, if course I could just change the straps on one watch, but for the price...) Glad I'm not the only one. It is too good of a deal to pass up when they're marked down. A true everyday beater.

i was going to press the buy button on the 'Cooper Diver' which was advertised yesterday at £32 before the sale , but it increased to £64 today.
Cadisen and pagani design are the watches to go for, luxury design at a affordable price, really nice watches
I’d love to see more watches with the VH31 movement, or even an adapter to fit it into an NH3x case

I love these Aliexpress videos. I'm going to definitely make a purchase this time.
That Cooper has jumped up to $101? Ouch.
The first one (Pagani ‘Mission’) for me. Have added it to my AliExpress wish list.
They raised the price of the Cooper from 40 to 96 bad bad bad
Huge thanks for your Baltany Chrono review, it's my favourite watch at present too. I even loved the strap on yours and got the Barton Elite too. Lovely watch. 😀
I was curious about the abbreviations. Thanks for saying it in the end!
hurray for more quartz options!
The Thorn looks good.
Thanks for the heads up on that Cooper MilSpec Submaster! I couldn't help myself and included the SM8016 ST A version in my order, which will add to my main purchase, a Hruodland F018 Red sterile dial.

That's exactly what happened to me yesterday. I had it in my cart for $54 and today it is 2x the price. Bummer!
All good choices. Love the San Martin mm300 gold. I have the black/silver and was hoping they’d do this…!
I just had a look though.....19mm lug width. Why San Martin......why?
That last San Martin on the bracelet looks great.
Wow some really nice watches up for a bargain and I hope San Martin send you the SM Monobloc for review as it looks crisp in the photos. Great video Jody! 👍
I'm considering getting an NH34 GMT rootbeer. Conflicted between the Pagani and Bliger. If San Martin had one, I'd jump on it!
The cream Baltany looked fantastic, that's the one I'd go for.
Jody's commentary on the Steel dive photos had me giggling 😂
The Baltany will be the one for me!
I might be reaching the end of the road with divers and fliegers . Both Baltany pieces look great !
Those skin divers should be more famous. I think it’s a timeless and bold design
The Steelflier link brought up another San Martin instead.

I've been eyeing that sea-gull bidisc for a little bit. 😁
Thanks for your reviews, Jody! They got us through the pandemic and we still look forward to them. I am seeing some weird things on Ali though. Your pricing (in USD) doesn't always match the pricing I get when I try to check out. I use your links, btw. The PD Store page is great and it always matches up. I like that someone of your stature defends PD and I'd like to see you return to them more often in your reviews. If the fit and finish are not "Plutonian" in the conspicuous consumption "Geneva" sense of the term, then it's sufficiently close as to make very little difference, at least IMO. Best wishes from the opposite side of the planet!

Great video. I think this time I will finally buy the Seestern 600t it wasn't on this video but you have reviewed it before. The new Addiesdive homage to the Willard with a white sandy texture looks great.
Where I live, they charge a heavy VAT and take a month to deliver. Watch dives is a much better option
I'm up late, Jodie on the US Eastern seaboard, and you're posting early. I get a Welsh 🏴 t-shirt vibe and some funky watches via Ali Express. What could be better?
Thanks Jody. Def scored the Mission Alaska/Mars, the Thorn (Snowflake for ala BB 58), and a couple others (Seestern Doxa 300 homage and Pagani Daytona homage) 4 watches under 500, not bad!
If you like that last SM Explorer, I'd check out Islander ISL-54 field. It is much nicer in person & Marc also sells a compatible O-strap
It's good that Steeldive have listened and sorted out the issue of having that name on non-dive watches now. I remember talking to one of the stores a while back and they didn't really understand what I was getting at I don't think. I wonder what name they will go with for their more dressy style watches🤔
I've looked at those Borman watches a few times whilst browsing AliExpress, but never pulled the trigger. Perhaps I will do this time around.
They don't speak English, bruv. They communicate through Google Translate.
@@wintermute8315 I know... It obviously got lost in translation.
Steeldive, Steelflier (flieger), Steeldesk (office), Steelmil (military), Steeldress, Steelracer (speedy)... I can invent new names easily.😂

Got the Thorn with the Mercedez hands and it is a nice watch, almost on par with San Martin. The only thing is that the clasp is like the Seiko's SZSB016 with only 2 micro adjusts, but you can still get an okay fit. Definately the Baltany military chrono is a great little watch, I guess the new one is trying to be a retro 60's chrono but with military styled arabics. Anyway Jody, another nice vid!
Very nice watch
But 14 thikness is too big
I ordered the Project Alaska lookalike. Seems like a good deal at the price (ended up at USD$77 including tax).
Damn it. I saw all the other reviewers posting their lists, and I thought for a minute that Jody wasn’t going to post one. Whew! Crisis adverted. It’s the Thorn or the SM Flieger for me. Great list! Thanks!
Just ordered that Cooper dive watch @ £38.77 UK its a no brainer, many thanks for the heads up and enjoy your commission ;)
Just seen the price has just doubled on Aliexpress today!! Glad I got in yesterday :) The power of TH-cam eh?
Mine came today in black.....pretty good i think..very solid...poop strap though😂
@@markaitken7725 Agreed, mines on a nice rubber strap courtesy of another AliE seller
@@SidBonkers51 Aliexpress price doubled day after my purchase. My order had "tracking number" but didn't move then order cancelled then seller offered substitute worth half the original price. Why do we accept/expect this crap?
@@rodh2168 Sorry to hear, i guess it was only on sale for that one day, the Monday and then went back up in price, shame as its a pretty nice watch.
Great choices .. gotta love an Ali sale !
8:50 🤔👍🤷🏼 I have two (waffle strap & steel brac) & am debating a 3rd also (to wear on NATOs - yeah, if course I could just change the straps on one watch, but for the price...) Glad I'm not the only one. It is too good of a deal to pass up when they're marked down. A true everyday beater.
Anyone got a link for cooper watch that ships UK? Cannot find one and UK retail site has them at 3 times the price!
Digging that "UNQUIE" blue watch 😅
