Another short and sweet. This watch is literally the perfect tool watch, including the quartz movement. I had zero desire to get a vintage style military watche, but you and a couple other reviewers are really changing my mind. I’m eyeing the Baltany W10 that is on sale for a damn good price right now. Thanks again for the great review!
Absolutely agree. I liked the white lume version so much I bought it before the sale! On a brown leather strap it looks superb. Thanks for the review !
@HonestWatchReviewsHWR yes, my eyesight requires me to have a legible dial, I cant read time on watches with dots and lines, so I am inclined to get your version because it might have a better contrast. But I could only find reviews for the other one, so thank you again
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR I went for the one - similar to yours but with yellow indices. I was seriously considering the white indices version. I was worried because the yellow in the pictures looked a bit too bright, but I can report that the yellow is muted and subtle. With a beige light brown vintage strap, it should look great. I like your watch also very much.
These are SO good! I have the fauxtina version and the lume is decent…green in color. Love the case finishing for this price. Crystal is super crisp, too.
@HonestWatchReviewsHWR I am loving it, I posted several pics of it on a waxy green leather strap on the Chinese Watch subreddit. Lume is ok but not great, I expect the white one will be a little better.
Militado makes some great watches! They are relatively inexpensive so I have the ML05 (38mm) & ML07 (36mm). Like you said, Great grab and go pieces. Great review!
Nice. I was looking at buying the Hamilton 'Cooper' day date. One on watchfinder for 605 that disappeared as soon as their sale started...possible 150 off. 435 is a steal And now my water pump has started throwing out coolant 460 quid fix. A zeeero new watches for me. Not even a 60 quid Murph
When the Murph 38mm came out, I loved it, but £800 for a watch with that movement, no thanks. I agree, this Militado is the best homage so far, the vh31 keeps the case slim, and the hands are spot on (unlike the Escapement Time). I chose the fauxtina, just for the look, other reviewers say the lume is usable, but not great. I completely agree about dial text, it ruins many nice watches.
@HonestWatchReviewsHWR To my eye, the hour hand looks ridiculously short, and I'm not sure but they may be painted white, because they look very bright against the dial. The Militado hands look just right to me anyway.
I own one and find it to be bland. That’s the best descriptive term for it. It’s a watch that has the specs at a great price but doesn’t deliver. On the other hand the ML07, w/ Sapphire, is the perfect watch for a child. Or if you prefer smaller watches in general. My son loves his and wears it daily.

@@adk7962 There's more to come as well. It's a perfect grab and go watch isn't it?
Ordered mine on 11.11, im in love with that design. And since i had very good track record with Ali brands, had no hesitation.
@@Hikikomori34 It'd be rude not to at this price, wouldn't it? 😉

@@astrobusa Sounds good. I might have to try mine on a different strap at some point too.
Thank you for reviewing the gray mumber version, everywhere here if found only the faux patina version and didn't know how this color looks
@@dariussatius1621 I hope it was helpful. Are you thinking about getting one then?

Mine arrived in the mail yesterday. I love it. I don't mind the bad straps because I enjoy selecting the perfect replacement strap
@@AdAstraStakePool That's good to hear. Which version did you go for then?

@AdAstraStakePool That's good that the colour isn't as much as the listing makes it appear.

@@WatchWitt Yes, they are. That's good to know about the lume on the fauxtina version too.
I have one just like this, same movement, sapphire, $60 but it's from escapement time.
Excellent - I already have the fauxtina version, but you just reminded me to get the white one. Into the Ali basket it goes. Cheers!
@@boomshanka8743 Thanks. I take it as you're buying another one you're loving the fauxtina version then? How's the lume on that one?
@HonestWatchReviewsHWR I am loving it, I posted several pics of it on a waxy green leather strap on the Chinese Watch subreddit. Lume is ok but not great, I expect the white one will be a little better.
@@boomshanka8743 Nice. I don't think I've seen that post. Do you have a link to it?

@@luist.1919 Absolutely. Will you be adding the ML08 to your collection as well then? 😉
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR Well maybe. I don’t have a watch with cathedral hands.
@@luist.1919 This would be a nice budget entry to them 😉

@@dunderhay9169 Yeah, I'm with you there on the price.
What's wrong with the hands on the Escapement Time version then?

@dunderhay9169 Ah ok. That's an interesting decision.
I like it. I really like the one with the fauxtina. Might have to get it!
@@motaman8074 It's a cracking deal isn't it?
Mine arrived today, absolute bargain. Got the same version too.
@@saure22 It really is great value for money isn't it?
@ I don’t know how they make money sometimes to be honest
@@saure22 I know right.
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR I gotta stop spending all my money on watches tho, it’s becoming a problem.
@@saure22 At least with this one it's not much money 😉
Is it me or is the 12 a bit off centre to the left?
Mine stops working often and I have to tap the glass a few times to get it going. 🤣 (I am not joking.)
@@sammer2587 I'm sorry to hear that. Is it catching or something?

@@Bob_Smith19 So, do you think the dial is a bit too plain then?
Where is the bracelet?
@@jimwashington860 I'm sure you could probably find a bracket on AliExpress that would fit it.
