Hey Gary,
Love your videos. Two things, first, I’ve owned the Pagani Speedmaster for quite a while and just love it. Feels so good on wrist and just don’t see myself ever getting rid of it. Two, your tone and mannerisms ASMR me into pure relaxation. lol! I think you have lulled me into making purchases I probably shouldn’t have made. Hahah thanks
Gary, great video and beautiful collection! Warm regards from the DR.
Really nice video .. have to rewatch before the sale ends !! ❤
Nice selection Sir 👍 thanks for sharing
First time seeing that Proxima. Very cool
I have the PX 1703 too. Mine is a mediocre timekeeper, but everything else about it is fantastic.
Great selection. Cheers 🍻!
My water ghost 3 with the PT 5000 is my favourite watch.
Nice watchs. Thank you from Brazil!
Thanks for watching!
I love Sam Martin watches they are heavy duty good quality, and the details are superb
The ones I have purchased don’t seem to be as high a quality as everyone says. Almost all of mine have had rough edges and they don’t supply a long enough bracelets for people like me with larger wrists. Most others I have no problem.
Pagani gmt is fantastic, I wear mine often, the addies 1000m tuna is a great deal at the moment.😊
It's nice to see another Villager that collects watches. I've met one other person at the doctors office. I was thinking of starting a watch club. 🤔
I have the Addiesdive AD2101. It has sapphire glass - seiko movement NH35A very nice and works pefect.
happy to see you again. Another pleasant moment with you and your watches.
Thanks for watching.
San Martin and Pagani probably the best brand , but in this case i prefer Proxima and Addiesdive about the look. In general in this moment on the market there is a war …
I like the Y5005 Pagani Seamaster homage. It was very inexpensive with N35 movement and the lume was readable for an hour which is is good for PD
Thanks for show and tell.
You bet
6:16 what kind of internal adjustment did you make and did it cost you a lot for the movement repair? Thanks 🙏
That last watch you showed is great looking. It for sure looks like a Tudor at a glance. Very nice choices.
It does!
Great video Gary, i will surely take some inspirations from your video for my channel
You do a great job as well as I watch your channel.
@@GaryWatches Thank you, I have just started so long way to go, would be good to collab at some point or may be you can be a guest in my podcast :)
my top 5 AE ...1-modern sub: steeldive 1953 - 2-retro sub: San Martin sn0004-GA - 3-GMT:Pagani 1784 (zulu) - 4-Chronograph: Pagani Paul Newman - 5- dresswatch: Pagani 1692 very first version (rare in white).
I just picked up $98.00 Olevs on Mazon. It's the all stainless model. It's a green dial diver. I was very skeptical but for the price I said why not. The watches short coming is the band. While fine, andvit looks ok, you can tell it's where they saved the most money.
Overall, I'm very pleased with how great it looks. What a great price for an automatic. It comes with a really nice case, and a bracelet tool. I'm becoming addicted to these cheap watches. They always just work, and look good.
Love your opinions and suggestions on watches. But as a newbie to watches without links or specific info regarding model numbers of the watches I'm lost. Good luck.
Please don't wave the watch all over the place. I can't get a decent look at it. It would also be helpful if you could show the crown and the back of the watches. Also tell us a little about the bracelet. Some bracelets are just junk. I don't want to spend $200 on a watch only to have to spend another $60-100 for a decent bracelet. So please hold the watch still, Thank you.
Hi Gary, first time here in your channel. You have there a great collection. Very interesting recommendations. If you don't have them, you should try them: the Steeldive 1970; Seestern 62mas; and there's a Tendorio W10 in 36mm. All 3 would be my "I'd buy them again" AliExpress watches.
You have a new sub.
Best regards
I will check those three out!
Best feature of the seestern is the lumed date, how often do you see that. Also, I have the proxima and it's amazing, far enough from the OG that it's not recognizable as a homage and that CW light catcher case never fails to amaze.
That Proxima is a stunner and reminds me of the Sinn U50 a little bit. I love the hands on it. Just wish it came in black or blue variety. Also, its a little too steep in price for me for an AliE watch.
Great list! Thanks for that :) At the moment I am a Steeldive fan, but maybe I will on day pull a triger on something closer to 200$ mark :)
So much depends on your taste. Only go for it if it really is something you would wear.
I went to look for the Pagani Design watch, but there is no PD17O1. Could it be a PD1701, as in 'zero''?
Try typing PD-1701. I just pulled up my order and that is the number. Hope this helps.
can I have a link to the explorer 2 homage? the picture shows thinner hands than the one in your hand
the model number for the 40mm is Model: PD1762 V4 which I recommend may be slightly different than what I showed as I had a 42mm in the video. Even I sometimes can’t tell the difference between the two except the movement is better in the 40mm.
ali links?
Thanks for the video
My Pleasure!
I have been collecting watches for about three years now, and I own two of those six you covered (the Addiesdive, and Pagani's speedy interpretation). But these styles of watches don't do it for me, and it took me some time and money to learn that. I find them bulky, see no utility in those bezels, and I much rather wear a watch on a leather strap than a bracelet. I even found GMT hands too much of a distraction from normal time-telling that it is worth having them for the few occasions when you want that complication. I turned out to be more of dresswatch/pilotwatch kind of guy, and I see the reviewers' focus on divers and chronos now with a sense of bewilderment.
There is no wrong way or right way to styles and collecting. It's all subjective. I've been drawn to divers and chronos because they are ruggedly spec-ed, and suits my lifestyle. I do scuba dive and have taken most of my dive capable watches diving. From Seiko SQ100's to Swiss brands. And I also enjoy motorcycles, car racing, and bicycle racing. Thus I have watches with stopwatch/split times functions. Or have digital computer watches. Some must be light, all must be W.R. and sweat resistant.
And, there is nothing wrong with dress watches, or vintage styled, or pilot and field watches. Weight, thickness, simplicity, and clothing constraints apply. I also like these and own several of each category.
And then there are those who love complications....ie. Casio G-Shock, Citizen, or Breitling pilot watches. Then you have Swiss movement, and skeleton fanatics. Tourbillon, see-through backs, etc. Let's not leave out the gaudy luxury bejeweled monstrosity crowd. LOL!
Its funny the pagani "moon watch" pd1701, its the same number as the star ship enterprise 😁
Kind regards from Turkey 👍
Thanks for watching
There's something called the Carnival sale going on now
You can find some decent stuff on Aliexpress but I have found if anything goes wrong with them it’s nearly impossible to find someone to service them.
I get it but many watches are like $60-$80 which it would cost more to service it. So it’s important to return a watch if anything doesn’t appear right when you purchase it. I have had good luck buying as many watches as I have obtained. Now a couple of them I needed to adjust the automatic movement but for the cost of the watch I feel much more at ease at opening it up. I know everyone won’t feel that way.
You could buy several new ones for the cost of a service.
Not a fan boy with a fan in the background 😂
I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the Cadisen Aqua Diver, I just ordered it in white, and I don't expect to receive it for at least three weeks (which is normal). It is based on a micro brand watch that has a >2 year waiting list and is >3X the price. Love your reviews!
Cadisen is a brand I haven’t added to my collection so far. I don’t think I can give you an honest opinion at this point. I have heard some others recommend Cadisen so I think you will be happy.
Are San Martin really that better than Pagani ? Are they worth the money ?
I also have the red Pagani Moonwatch homage (PD-1701) which I oil-filled and now it's a real stunner by the extreme viewing angle now visible especially given its slightly domed crystal. I just ordered the black/gold version - in fact I just might buy the lot of variants and oil-fill them all. Oddly enough Seestern won't ship to my address in Canada and I have no clue why that is with certain brands/items.
You should do a video on oil filled. I have been looking at a brand that offers oil filled and the clarity was unbelievable. Didn’t know you can do it with other watches.
I believe no man can say no to #mamacoo
align the pip please
Do you see where it says 200m! That is lies, I’ve tried it on two of the watches here, they barely made 10m. Total waste of money, do not buy these watches, you are better of with replicas that have been properly tested for depth.
I don’t regularly test the watches but the Pagani Rolex Explorer II which is rated for 100m I took it in the water for two hours during a water volleyball game. Still running and I was in shock. So I’m a lot more trusting diver watches than ever from AliExpress. Now I wouldn’t wear a chronograph or dress watch in the water.
@@GaryWatches 100m is not a diving watch, it would need to be iso rated to be a diving watch.
Ali is boring as heck
LOL, Gary, you don’t need white gloves for $100 watches. Having said that, thanks for the video. Just keep in mind, watch gloves are for luxury pieces.
I need them as my hands distract from looking at the watches. I know this from past experience.
Keeps them free of fingerprint smudges
Lol and who said that?
All terrible watches. Never buy a homage watch or a straight copy. Encourage original designs so the Chinese watch makers will be forced to create original time pieces, which I believe they can.
mamacoo 's watches are worth it！
