You can still get a whole lot of watch for (roughly) a fifty on Ali in 2024! Shame that Miltado crown is inconsistent, as that is an epic little watch for $40. Cheers, Jody

Thanks for reviewing our Militado ML05, Jody . Sorry that the ML05 you got doesn't have a good crown, this is the first year 11.11 sale of our brand, the warehouse got a little bit mess, but we have add 3 workers now, so let's expect better quality control of our brand .

A bit of sticky tape pulls the whole lot off the crown in one go. Bonus points if you manage to use the shipping bag's sticky strip.

Not sure I like how much you're making me like these Ali Express watches. Someone with my level of lack of self control does not need to be interested in watches this affordable and attainable. If i start I'll be buying one every week!

[scottlewis]

These VH31 powered Ali watches are an incredible bargain.

I picked up the Miltado ML05 with the sterile dial for all of $33 US. Threw it on a brown suede strap and it's a stunner and so comfy. My crown fits just fine so perhaps you just got a buggered one.

I have that exact same Militado, I got it last week. The crown on mine works as it should. You are probably right about the stem length.

[williamthompson]

Oh, how I missed the pigeon jokes! That made my day.

[OldGregg]

Definitely a bit of Islander Port Jeff about that Cadisen, I guess Marc must feel honoured to have had a design clomaged!

I got a Militado ML08 Murph on 11.11 for about €50. I absolutely love it, fave watch of the year, fancy the ML05 too now

[Oldmanrules]

I took a chance on the Addiesdive, and, although I agree with your 'niggles', this watch is nothing short of amazing for the money. I love looking at the dial, it mimic's a $2, 000 Longines Conquest. Having had many Chinese automatic watches movements fail on me (mainly PT5000's), I am now a huge fan of the VH31 mecha-quartz. Not only is it far less expensive, it's thinner, lighter, incredibly accurate as well as ultimately much more reliable. All good things. I hope more manufacturers would use this movement as an alternative to say, the NH35 across their line-ups. Build it and we will come... and buy!

[chrisday]

I bought all three after your video, along with a Boderry Voyager. Excellent watches for the price. That Miltado is an absolute strap monster. Looks and feels great!

[BrianPorterBsCs]

Picked up a Militado ML05 this go around as well. Absolutely thrilled with the purchase and have not taken it off since I received it last week. Threw it on a brown leather single pass and it's the bee's knees! Looking forward to your full review.

[kumarshashank]

The addiesdive is clearly inspired by the new longines conquest.

[thomasgavris]

I bought the Cadisen after i saw your video about the 11/11 sale and i have to say I'm so happy with it. I got it for 77€ in Greece and it's a cracking watch, feels really sturdy and the dial is very pretty. Thank you Jody for the recommendation, I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't for you

[plasticstoat]

Love your videos Jody, just purchased a Steeldive 1970 as you recommend them so highly!
Absolutely banging price on Ali so why not!
Keep up the good work and can't wait to hear the words ...

Weellllcome to just one more watch again!

[jonbarclay]

Hey Jody
Great video as usual! The Addiesdivve has 19mm lug width if you’re up-strapping it… I’ve measured & remeasured and a 20mm strap won’t quite squeeze in! 👍

[ToddCaldwell]

For removing the crown protector I use a Q-tip dipped in isopropyl alcohol. Comes off in a jiffy with zero scratches 👍 Another great video 🔥

[Nyowa]

Scotch tape works great at removing those crown protector stickers. Just press the tape over the crown/pushers then pull it off, the sticker comes with it.

[shahzaibshah-xxji]

Hey keep up the good work I love your videos I recently lost my everyday watch seiko5. About around 1.5 and now price of increased. So I didn remember you making videos on these cheap watches that were bank for your buck. So thank you so much for helping me out

Take the sticker protecting the crystal and press it on the blue sticker. It should peel off super easy that way.
