I want to give a thank you to you as I asked you a bit ago to please feature some bigger watches here and there for us bigger blokes and I'll be buggered if you didn't do it! So a well deserved THANK YOU MATE. Great video and I really like the puck.... I'm looking into that and 2 more of these. You've now become my go to channel for AliExpress watches.
The Addiesdive would make a good self-defence weapon. I do like the look of the Tandorio - still need an orange dial in my collection. The hockey puck aside, these are great choices, John. Taste is truly relative, as the cannibal remarked while eating his cousin. Cheers 🍻!
“Hey Molly girl. You want to come see my new Tuna Homage?” “Did you say Tuna?!” (Falls promptly asleep - too cute). Although I never thought I could pull off a Tuna, but you may have changed my mind. Looking forward to the full reviews!
The world timer is a beautiful watch. I bought it on one of the sales and I just love it, fits my wrist perfectly! I cant wait for your review on it John!
Great haul from the sale! I also had to hide a purchase from my wife, but only for a day. I got the same color Cadisen that you did. I put it on an orange nato strap and it really looks good! And, as an added bonus, my wife really likes it too!
Hi John. Just treated myself to the baltany discoverer quartz, in enamel purple😋, everything about it appeals, except the “10 year battery life” script on the dial, but that’s a relatively minor annoyance, i’ll just have to squint out of focus when checking the time😂!!!! Hopefully it will arrive in Macduff in time for my wee break to Rome???, wife and myself flying oota Aberdeen at sparrow fart o’clock Thursday morning Thanks again for the content, the fact that you are based just up the coast and include places that I have walked and cycled through- bow fiddle rock for example- adds an air of familiarity and pride to your content, we are fortunate enough to live in a stunning area👍
Hi Alistair. Good to hear from you my friend. I do try to bring our beautiful area in when I can but it's not always possible....and we do take it for granted. Enjoy your new watch and more importantly have a great holiday. Thanks for your support :)
I have the Tandorio in green (unusual for me) with the gun-metal to black bezel. A big fan of it. I have seen the water resistant test Gary did on I Like Watches. Not sure if he was just unlucky with them but it leaves me wary about how water resistant they are. Does anyone know if they have improved or of other tests suggesting they are atill ok for a swim..?? Great channel, John. I was an early sunscriber. I was on to a winner.
Hi John. Tandorio are being rather naughty. While the watches have that fun factor they really are not water resistant. My original fogged up on a cold and wet day here. It was gone but not confidence inspiring. My latest W10, I got wet on purpose to see if it would hold up and it did (paddle boarding) 50m max I would venture. Thanks for your loyal support 🙏
John, it's time of thinking on hiring a new producer. The one you got right now seems so excited for her job, she falls asleep and does not care if you or anybody else notices. Talking about your first video, I just saw it for the first time yesterday, and I have to say that I'm seriously thinking of getting that Tandorio on orange or green dial, just from that first video (you nailed it, there are many YT channels that would love to have such a professional first video). Best regards from Mexico
The Addiesdive is a steal. It glows as they say it does. Only thing to change is the clasp, but for that money (got it for less than 50£) they had to go cheap somewhere ;)
I bought the Hag in grey. Decent for the money. Tag Heuer is a brand on the rise with some of the new offerings getting a lot of respect so might be a good time to pick one up one of these before they overtake Faulex and Fudor. 😂😂Nice haul. Look forward to reviews/comparisons. Love to see a happy pet but how many humans and animals great a great life while others aren't so lucky and who decides?? Life is imponderable. 😊
Do you fancy doing some water resistance tests of these Chinese watch brands John? A lot of us buy these as beaters / holiday pool watches and it would be good to know which of these brands are telling fibs about their claimed water resistance. We only need them to survive messing about in a pool, so realistically 3 bar would be a reasonable pass criteria.
If someone wants to stump up the cash for me to do it then yes but I buy these watches just like you I'm afraid and this is an expensive hobby as it is ! :/
@@johnswatchjoint aye fair enough, no idea what those desktop water pressure chamber things cost. Alternately you could put 10 watches on each arm and jump in your local swimming pool. That would make a highly amusing bit of TH-cam content 🤣
@@johnswatchjoint okay thanks for clarifying.. Look forward to the review. That addies tuna looks good too, would be interesting to see on black chunky rubber strap.
Your reviews are brilliant and I especially like your fur ball totally in her element in your cabin. That SM looks sweet and you might have just persuaded me to invest in another timepiece I neither need nor should buy but will probably get and never look back 😀
I do love how Molly is lounging on your best dad pillow and I think my favorite out of the bunch might be the world timer it's definitely going be a fun conversation starter explaining how the bezel works.
...hahaha especially when I am bluffing all the way. Never needed nor handled one but it just looks so cool. Looking forward to reviewing it and putting it through its paces :)
So, here we go on this Aliexpress late summer sale, there's a lot like about the so called 'San Martin GMT', although in truth it's not a genuine/proper GMT watch, but that's down to the NH34 movement. The 'Hag Teuer' does very little for me, it has as much 'Seamaster' or something else than anything else? I do love the Tandorio with orange dial watch and the waffle divers strap is a bonus, just don't expect it to be water resistant, buy something else if you are doing anything other than the washing up! Sorry but the Addiesdive 'Puck' is just a BIG NO from me, just too slab sileded which I just don't like. I'm looking forward to the Steeldive vs Cadisen 'subbie' comparison.....
Ah well, I generally find a lot of 'up' folk on this channel but now and again we get someone who just has to stick with the negatives. So sorry you look at things this way and wish you would just have fun watching? Ah well. Thanks for your input anyways...
I love how dodgy it is that we need to keep our watch collections hidden from our wives 😂
You thing they tell us all about their shoe purchases?
@@MrBacchus18 mine is very transparent, it’s me, I’m the problematic shopper.
Haha...sssshhh!
The struggle is real.
I want to give a thank you to you as I asked you a bit ago to please feature some bigger watches here and there for us bigger blokes and I'll be buggered if you didn't do it! So a well deserved THANK YOU MATE. Great video and I really like the puck.... I'm looking into that and 2 more of these. You've now become my go to channel for AliExpress watches.
No problem Sir. I do try ;)

So true :)
Rotary seamatic in orange is nice
“Hey Molly girl. You want to come see my new Tuna Homage?”
“Did you say Tuna?!” (Falls promptly asleep - too cute).
Although I never thought I could pull off a Tuna, but you may have changed my mind. Looking forward to the full reviews!
My curiosity got the better of me...but that's what I love about watches :)
I tell the wife its just a new strap. Always works as they all look the same to her 🤣🤣
Hahahaha 😂
😂
I’m waiting for the review comparing the Steeldive and the Cadisen. Thanks for the nice video.
Coming soon!
Thank you for the suggestions John. That San Martin is now on my list to purchase. Have a great weekend
You too Clay 😄
The world timer is a beautiful watch. I bought it on one of the sales and I just love it, fits my wrist perfectly! I cant wait for your review on it John!
Well done...send me an instruction video please haha!
That San Martin world timer looks preem, really cool
Just getting the instructions...;)
Great haul from the sale! I also had to hide a purchase from my wife, but only for a day. I got the same color Cadisen that you did. I put it on an orange nato strap and it really looks good! And, as an added bonus, my wife really likes it too!
Amazing what you find falling off the back of a lorry eh? 😆
I need a watch joint. I’ve created a secondary watch drawer but she recently found it….oh the side eye!
Zoinks! Oh no I feel for you buddy. Good luck 🤞:)
I normally dont mind the steeldive big logo, but it looks out of place on the 1953. The Cadisen looks better too me in that department

I’d really love to know how water resistant that Tandorio really is. Can it survive a rain? Shower? Dishes? Or maybe even a trip to the beach? 😀
50m. Does me fine in lots of wet Scottish weather :)
Love that tandoorio
Orange tandorio is a bangerr, need follow up video
Coming shortly ;)

@@johnswatchjoint I will be careful with mine and report back if / when it gets wet and how it holds up. Thank you John.
Even though ali express say they post free to uk for some unknown reason N. Ireland is not part of the uk. Strange that.
John, it's time of thinking on hiring a new producer. The one you got right now seems so excited for her job, she falls asleep and does not care if you or anybody else notices.
Talking about your first video, I just saw it for the first time yesterday, and I have to say that I'm seriously thinking of getting that Tandorio on orange or green dial, just from that first video (you nailed it, there are many YT channels that would love to have such a professional first video).
Best regards from Mexico
Yes...she does have a bit of a God Complex hahaha 😂
The Milsub GMT looks great, one of the best looking GMT in the price range.
It does look 😎.
The Addiesdive is a steal. It glows as they say it does. Only thing to change is the clasp, but for that money (got it for less than 50£) they had to go cheap somewhere ;)
Yeah...even though it's big I had to test it out. Been putting it off for a while :)
Nice to see you, man! (in reflection)
Sorry...hideous in that with white light!

Yeah....cause I have negative buoyancy and can't swim...way to end a channel quickly haha! :///...
ADDIESDIVE and Tandorio cant be posted to the u.k from the links you posted im just asking how did you get them
Sorry but that's not the case. Exact stores I got them from. Check your location settings on Ali. Or do you have a VPN?.
That h6 looks like a clock on your wrist. But I like it. Damb, now I need a clock on my wrist.
Everyone needs a clock on their wrist ;) haha 😆
Why is the Tandorio orange dial indices smaller than the black dial version
I thought so too but it is an optical illusion.
@@johnswatchjoint okay thanks for clarifying.. Look forward to the review. That addies tuna looks good too, would be interesting to see on black chunky rubber strap.
@@johnswatchjoint I had a look again, looks the orange dial is an old version and the hour mark indices are smaller indeed
Your reviews are brilliant and I especially like your fur ball totally in her element in your cabin. That SM looks sweet and you might have just persuaded me to invest in another timepiece I neither need nor should buy but will probably get and never look back 😀
This one is rather special, given that SM have been dropping the ball of late. Nice to see them recover. Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it 🙏
I do love how Molly is lounging on your best dad pillow and I think my favorite out of the bunch might be the world timer it's definitely going be a fun conversation starter explaining how the bezel works.

A HAG Teuer homage? Maybe you'd like to know: "teuer" means "expensive" in German 😄
GAH, teuer! 😂
Nice San Martin and I think the Cadisen looks good value too 👍 I hope your wife didn't catch you 😁
Not yet!
👍
Kitty!!
Aye. Some producer. Caught asleep on the job again 💤 😆
Is your cat OK?
Hi there. Yes she is absolutely fine...thanks for your concern ☺️
