I don’t mean this in a hateful way. But you title this video “must have” watches. And you only have ever held one of them in your hand. You are just reading info off the site which anyone can do. You recite their claims of quality. Like that of the crystal for example. Which you have no way of knowing if it’s accurate. Do you know how many AE watches I have bought that claimed a certain crystal and after I bought it and tested it , turned out to not be accurate. Basically you thumbed through the watches on AE and just shared your own wish list. Which would have been fine if that had been the title of your video. “My personal wish list of AE watches for 2025.”
LOL Indeed - I don't see the value either . Some p of s chinese watch for hundreds of dollars??? - I found a lovely (blue) second hand Timex Indiglo for £10 in a charity shop that looks new - which I think is a better deal.
Wow. All great choices! I was never interested in that San Martin because I’m not too into colorful watches, but that Black and Gilded color is very enticing! And that Boderry might be the first Boderry I purchase. Thanks for putting this together!
The San Martin original in the toned down color is very tempting! I have the Sugess homage of the Breitling Deus and I love it. I find myself being more surprised to the upside with Chinese watches the longer I have them and more critical with Swiss watches. Thanks for another great video!
Some great looking watches, what's your opinion when it comes a time that one of this price point watches have to be serviced, and that being more expensive than the watch itself?
I bought a couple of San Martin's from skb watches based on your recommendation. Very good customer service and really pleasant to deal with. I'm currently wearing the SN0118 in black, it's a really subtle colour and reminds me of the jps colours from F1.
Très bonne sélection Olivier, et je constate que nous avons le même oeil sur les nouveautés Aliexpress. Les montres équipées du mouvement PT5000 sont de plus en plus abordables, et ça c'est vraiment cool ! Top👌✨✨🤓
@Horologique I had the movement replaced by Sugess, rotor was spinning when hand wound, replacement has been fine and they gave me a discount for life.
Another great heads up although in this New Year I'm going to try and refrain from buying more than my fair share of Aliexpres watches I have my sights set on a couple of higher end pieces Nivada Gretchen for one or even two more for my collection Thanks for sharing as always Be well and Big blessings my friend 👍
I have the Sugess Daytona Le Mans version and it’s fantastic. In terms of looks and the bracelet it’s my favourite watch of my homages. Wears comfortable and the clasp is exceptional. The time is pretty accurate but the winding mechanism is very squeaky at the crown and the rotor is quite loud when against the ear. I’m a bit worried of durability over time. It’s a bit tricky to wind it and I was even debating if I should just return it but I like it enough that I have decided to hold off. Might get the brown/baby blue one next even though this one squeaks so much just because I’m so impressed how it wears. When comparing San Martin, Cronos, Sugess I would still say it’s dependent on which watch but Sugess/San Martin are on the top for me with Cronos right after them. Cronos GMT Pepsi on the other hand is my second favourite watch I own and it’s unreal. For Submariner homage it’s Sugess without a doubt! San Martin makes a great Submariner with their own flair also but Sugess has a smaller rehaut, bezel action and clasp are closer to the original.
I barely noticed the music and could hear you clearly. No audio problems for me on iPhone or PC, with or without headphones. Only issue I had with the video is the 13mm thickness of the Boderry HOU. That’s way too thick for a non diver, several other great choices though. Thanks Olivier!
There is no such thing as an incredible AliExpress watch, unless you're referring to it being incredible that anyone would buy a watch off of AliExpress. And don't call your channel "Horologique" if you're reviewing cheap crap. This is an instant permablock from me.

Thank you so much my friend! Yes those 2 look like real bangers!
Great video! Thank you!
Thank you Sir for such great content and useful information

@@rossmazer6980 thank you so much, I'm glad you like it! It's going to be featuring in the channel very soon!

great selection im really interested in the cronos its actually a homage of a zenith
@@bestboy897 it is, aesthetically it changes a bit as the sub dials are a bit smaller
Enjoyed the video. Look forward to seeing the review on the Lobinni. Looks a lot like the IWC Portofino.
Great selection of watches, I'm looking forward to the Lobinni review!
@@96kyh thank you, coming soon 😁

I'm really glad that you enjoy it, thank you so much for your support! SKB watches are great, that's why I recommend them to you 👍

Thanks Olivier, this best of Aliexpress is very interesting. 2025 promises to be a good year for horology!🎉
Thank you very much my friend, it certainly seems so 👍
The two Sugess watches - I already have the Sugess Daytona v1 and it's amazing... Nice selection!
@@tonyd223 thank you very much! I'm really curious about that new Peacock movement on the Daytona, how is yours faring?
@Horologique I had the movement replaced by Sugess, rotor was spinning when hand wound, replacement has been fine and they gave me a discount for life.
Plein de nouveautés ! On attend la VF 👌
Merciii il y a un tout petit peu changement en plus 😉
Hou dose not have logo and text. Can you ask them to add logo and text on dial
I agree it would look better with at least the brand. I doubt they would listen to me 😊

Thank you so much my friend! Nivada makes great watches, let me know when you get one 👍

Thank you so much for your excellent feedback, very informative to know both positives and negatives of the Sugess in detail 👍.
Some nice picks, a few I hadn't seen
nice selection
Are there any other cw 12 homage watches?
Not to my knowledge
Couldn't agree more!
New Subscriber Here ❤
THE BOTS SHOULD TAKE IT DOWN A NOTCH TO BE MORE REALISTIC
How can you offer information on watches that you have not purchased? Doesn’t that make this kind of like QVC WATCH?
The Hou from Boderry is definitely on my radar
Totally, it's baffling why they didn't put it on Aliexpress
The Boddery seemed interesting!
Totally!
Sorry you need to buy these watches and review them in your hand not just speak with website pictures pointless?
Like we need someone trying to make an income on YT for just web surfing... We can do that fine ourselves
I think it is pronounced Nine Dao. The Roman numerals IX = 9. The name references the 9 white flags of the Mongol Empire during peace time.
Thank you for the correction!
I stopped watching after a minute. The background noise ( pretending to be music) was too loud and distracting. You DON'T need it!
Thanks for your feedback, I tried something new
I agree it's annoying 👍
No music needed
Weird, he must have changed it. Couldn’t not listen to any loud music. Weird.
