Thank you so much for WATCHing my video and I hope that you check out all my other content.
I release 3 videos per week, all watch related, including reviews, first impressions and general watch related topics.
I try very hard to diversify my content as well and will feature big known watch brands, microbrands as well as Aliexpress watches.
The majority of the watches I feature are in the affordable range but I do try and get some less affordable watches as well.
Most of the watches that I feature I have bought with my own money. I buy them to enjoy and wear but I also to feature them on this channel.
If you are looking for watches from well known brands then it is worth checking out:

As an affiliate member I may leave affiliate links in the descriptions of videos. These links will direct you to the watches that I’ve experienced, reviewed and would certainly recommend. If you choose to use those links I will earn a very small commission.

That bronze Hruodland is one of my favs 👌🏼👌🏼

[adk]

Thanks for bringing this up. A grail watch doesn’t have to be thousands of dollars in my opinion. There are people out there who would have save up for a long time to purchase a $500 watch.

Nice selection James and I cannot disagree. All these watches would fit in with the Ali Express grail category. I'd wear all of them. Excellent video.

[rayintheforest]

Love your selections! Always a bit different from other YouTubers and always fantastic watches. You can't go wrong with watches recommended on this channel. That's been my experience!

[WATCHingJames]

There are some incredible watches available from AliExpress. But there are a few that are outstanding

[tonyalbrecht]

bronze is interesting but I have no experience with it yet.

[curt]

James, liked the selection & descriptors but please be clearer in your diction or post more details somewhere, the second last watch the bronze one, could not hear the brand, Roden, Roland, ???? Not everyone is familiar with all the Ali Express brand names so I have no idea how to find that watch. Cheers Curt

Thanks for this perspective. I have the Ipose with a California Dial and i find it very cool. But i wanted to ask you about the Merkur Skin Diver. When you put it up and screw the crown, with handwinding movement, , how long does that work until you have to correct the time again and hadwind it?

[fsdafdsafdas]

What watch is the IX&DAO Ipose a homage of? I'd love to learn more about it I'm just a bit unaware!

[faitestealer]

The Merkur field watch is on sale right now for $85 shipped to USA.

[slateization]

Thanks! Have you looked at the Merkur/Pierre Paulin jump hour watch yet? Would love to see a review of that

[wingi]

Some of these are really nice! Wish you showed some lume shots though.

[davidcrandall]

These watces are quite beautifull but I dont want to lose money if I ever want to resll them!

[dolcefarniente________]

What about Franck Muller at aliexpress are they good to buy?

[curt]

My apologies just found the links in your extra info.

[EarlWallace-iuww]

Not even wearing a watch- while doing a watch video- imposter

[fdloop]

All the watches showed in this video are ridicule. Complete waste of time

[DarthPlaya]

We need to come up with a different word. I think, like many other reviewers and watch aficionados the term "Grail" is being misused here. A persons grail item, be it a watch or anything else is personal to each individual. James and others tend to use the title "Grail" like it's a catagory or type of watch. Technically and literally the term "Grail" is used for an item that is highly unobtainable but also highly desirable by an *individual!*
Your Grail ain't my Grail and my Grail ain't yours!

Both the bronze watches look fantastic James. I think the “200m water resistance” on a chrono though is a tad much.I’ve got a bronze San Martin flieger & it’s great. The ST1901 is a terrific watch movement. I have a number of Chinese & or AliExpress watches with that movement. I also have the Ipose but with a different dial & the PT5000 movement. I went for this over the SW200 mainly as I have a number of watches with that movement. The PT5000 is a very reliable & accurate movement. Overall I have not had one issue with any Chinese watch I’ve bought over the last 5 years or so. Good selection!👍🏼😎

I love that bronze Hroudland at the end James. That is the one for me when I spring for the bronze piece to add to my little collection... Stunning
