    enjoyed this a lot – it all seems very subjective – today's tastes may not be tomorrow's as quality criteria ramp up – never imagined i would get hooked on timepiece ocd

    the Sugess Revival link is wrong, it send to other sugess watch

    Thanks for all the great insperational videos. You've cost me small fortune but it's all been worth it. Great advice.

    I took advantage of the 11/11 sale and ordered Steeldive 1970 and the PD moonwatch. They both arrived today and very sad that PD sent me the wrong watch. The Steeldive is very nice for the money though. Wish I had received the correct PD.

  • @tenofcilantro

    It's a good feeling to have those "homages" from big brands sponsored by pagani on ur wrist but we all know what happens to them after a few months 😅😂🤣..u should include the pagani "longines spirit" look alike!😃

  • @mandobob

    Thanks Jody for another great Aliexpress review. I have bought 2 watches based on your reviews. The first is a Loreo Rolex submariner homage from a few years back. Great watch for the price (75$ US). The second is a Steel Diver 1970 "Captain Willard" Sekio homage. This one, which is on your current list, I got last year based on your recommendation (also around $75 US). Both of these watches are an exceptional value for the price. I'm amazed that these Chinese made watches. The quality is unmatched for these prices. I just bought the Pagani "World Timer". Can't wait to get it.

  • @johnadams-wp2yb

    How come the chinese can build a decent watch, but their buildings are falling down?

    December 21, 2023 at 6:46 pm
  • @keepleft

    I guess the Zenith lawyers sent a nicely worded letter, cause the Sugess "Revival" is no longer available. 🤣

    That Transformer watch is 40p now. PMSL.

  • @leondjames

    Thanks for such a great rundown Jody! I’m having a problem tracking down the Sugess “Revival” on AliExpress. The link you’ve provided takes me to what looks like a very, but slightly different watch. Same looks to be the same dial but a rounder case.
    Is it just a trick if the photography? Appreciate any help!

  • @chumbawumba3617

    Ali Express should just rename themselves CRAPOLA … I recently purchased a Xeon motherboard bundle that came with defective dimm for memory. Trying to get any replacement/refund involved dealing with Chinese seller and then once that failed had to contact Ali Express Customer Support. Lots of back-n-forth – asking me to prove something was defective for a PC that would not post. Then, after two weeks of the back-n-forth (even simple email exchanges always take days due to time differences) they tell me *Your date for buyer protection has EXPIRED … GRRRRR 😡😡😡

    Anyone else have a hard time finding the Sugess Revival?

    December 21, 2023 at 6:46 pm
  • @koen7648

    Seeldive question; is the sd1970 and the sd1974 the same colour? I wayched your video of the green 1970, but in other videos the colour looks way better than in your video. Also on alie express self the 1974 looks better in green than the 1970 model

    December 21, 2023 at 6:46 pm
  • @jameswcollett

    Jody, your link for the Steeldvive 1970 needs attention. It took me to a page pricing the watch at £423.46 but also stating, "Sorry, this item is no longer available!"
    I'm tempted to add one of these SD 1970s to my collection, and I don't mind you getting the finder's fee.

    Don’t buy Chinese watches.
    Ask yourself why can be these watches so cheap? Many products are produced through forced labor from prisoners in China. Don’t support this .

  • @virketalpatel

    I’ve been seeing the seagull chronicles mechanical for 60 bucks. Is this way too cheap to be true.

  • @gandhabba69

    What do you think about steeldive 1953 sub homage under 100dollars , compared to the cronos..

    December 21, 2023 at 6:46 pm
  • @bensara9213

    I ordered 2 Skemi transformer watches. Just got rejected by Aussie customs.

  • @rumcajs009

    11:27 – that one suddenly disappeared from literally every store on Ali. Dont know what happened, wanted to pick one up.

  • @RavenWindrunner

    I just picked up the patek homage for 47 usd, looks like a pretty awesome deal.

    December 21, 2023 at 6:46 pm
  • @RavenWindrunner

    Also the pagani world timer is also now available with a PVD coating on the case. Looks pretty awesome on the blue bezel cream dial version.

    December 21, 2023 at 6:46 pm
  • @RavenWindrunner

    The moon watch pagani is now available in blue as well though I'm not sure if its sapphire or not.

    December 21, 2023 at 6:46 pm
  • @zoosyndrome

    Great video as usual Jody. Question for you (or anyone who has the answer), the Sugess link took me to a different watch than the one shown, do you know how I can find it? I went to the official store on Ali, and still can't find this particular retro style case. They have a number of decent looking chronos, but for the life of me I can't find the one you showed here that echoes the Zenith Revival.

  • @julianb1474

    I came up with 4 watches to buy yesterday, the 11th, adding the last one partly to take advantage of the highest level discount coupon. Glad I pulled the trigger yesterday because today (the 12th) the big coupon is no longer available to me. So something I don't recall hearing from any YouTube watch types is that the real good sale is only for one day. Now things don't look nearly so attractive. Like your channel BTW.

    December 21, 2023 at 6:46 pm
  • @perfectwrist23

    Just when I think I've bought my final watch of 23 Jody comes along with twenty tempting treats! Pulled the trigger on three, can't go wrong really for £200, and eagerly await my first Ali express batch

    December 21, 2023 at 6:46 pm
  • @S-Ltd1000

    The original San Martin retro diver with the rivet style bracelet is the longest serving watch in my collection, just a great little watch with superb finishing. I like the seagull diver but is it actually ISO certified as indicated on the dial?

    04:40 Love it¡ Got one.

    December 21, 2023 at 6:46 pm
  • @andrewkennedy1172

    I'll second the caution warning on the Seagull ST19xx movement, I've had a couple go bad on me and at the price point they aren't worth the labour cost to repair. I still have one running example in a microbrand which I really do love, but caveat emptor as they say.

    December 21, 2023 at 6:46 pm
  • @Cuse330Ci

    Picked up a Steeldive 1970, close enought to a Captain Willard for me.

    December 21, 2023 at 6:46 pm
  • @addisonsteiner6473

    Thanks Jody…I pulled the trigger on the Pagani quartz chrono, the 1970 and a couple of others that have been on my wish list.

  • @YouTube_is_full_of_trolls

    I just bought the sm 53'. I hope I like it… I'm scared 😂
    I really wanted the sm 62mas homage, but the bracelet has those male endlinks and no on the fly adjustment.
    I also wanted the gs homage but I just couldn't pull the trigger because of the polished midlinks. I was afraid I'd scratch them to hell and be upset.. I'm hoping if I like this, I'll buy one of the others at the next sale… idk, im so conflicted

    December 21, 2023 at 6:46 pm
  • @Bob_Smith19

    Sea-Gull ‘51 is $387 in the US. The direct link takes you to a $98 version which says it can’t be sent here. This is why I hate AliExoress.

    December 21, 2023 at 6:46 pm
  • @inakirasm7034

    The “sugges revival” has disappeared, and the link leads to a similar watch from the same brand, but with another round case, not a square one. I have searched for it without success on Aliexpress.

    December 21, 2023 at 6:46 pm
  • @MSylar

    A bit disappointed that no explorer homages were mentioned in the video. There are Cadisen and Pagani explorer style watches just above 60 USD on the 11.11 sales.

    Thanks, Jody. My cart is loaded and waiting for tomorrow!

    Interesting…….you telling people to go waste their money on Chinese watches…….and THEN…..they won't have money to buy one of your watches for Xma$$…. Either you have sold all available or else…..those lights don't turn on up there……

  • @G-rig6969

    San Martin must have seen your video, that GMT is showing up as AU$363.86 lol.
    I think I got enough homage watches, been buying Seiko Prospex solar divers, easier to resell when you want a change (would be hard to offload these homages for anything)
