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. Featuring known watch brands, microbrands, Aliexpress. Some I have purchased new, others second hand.
The majority of the watches that I feature I have purchased. I buy them to enjoy, wear, have in my collection. I then also feature them on this channel.
Being a smaller channel it is challenging to cover the cost of all the watches that I buy and partly because of this I have become an affiliate member with a number of companies including Aliexpress and Ashford.com.
If you are looking for watches from well known brands then it is worth checking out:
www.ashford.com
If you are looking for great strap options then definitely check out:
vario.sg/
and
artemstraps.com/collections/s...
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.
Thank you very much if you choose to use those links.
Below are affiliate links for my absolute favourite watches on Aliexpress. Each of them I have owned and had positive experiences with the stores that they are linked to.
Hruodland Turbine Pilot (The best watch on Aliexpress…… yes I said it):

San Martin SN004-G (my favorite San Martin Watch):

San Martin SN0121G (The best San Martin Watch)

Tactical Frog H5 (Simply stunning):

Escapement Time Type-B Flieger H0292 (Incredible. So well made and a joy to wear):
s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DlB...
Gustav Becker (This one surprised me how much I love it):
s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DFF...
Baltany 1921 (incredibly well made and a percent part of my collection)
s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DFw...
Cronos L6015M (the best subby homage)
s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DBt...
Merkur Skin diver (just incredible)
s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DF5...

Congratulations on your purchase. Right now the most expensive watch I could afford at the very most that I would spend is approximately $500 plus tax that’s all I could legitimately afford right now. Most of my watches are affordable watches the $150-$350 range.

A beautiful watch James! I bought a vintage 1930’s Langendorf pilot watch a couple of years ago. It’s pretty much the same as your IWC. The bezel action on mine is exactly as you’ve described your flieger. I’d say it’s liquid smooth! Wear it with happiness mate!😎👍🏼

If you are open to used watches, Nakano Broadway is like DisneyWorld for watch nerds. The exchange rate between the Yen and USD is very favorable and the watch shops waive the tax on the transaction when you present your passport!

Okay, that is absolutely gorgeous. For a minute I was going to say "I'd prefer getting the Longines Pilot Majetek..." figuring there'd be a pretty huge difference in price, but turns out the IWC is only a bit more. And well, maybe I would still prefer the Longines, but now I honestly can't say, as there's elements of both I prefer over the other. This is a great watch. I absolutely love it. Congrats on getting a grail!

I have only one question. How did you get this one past the wife? About 6 years ago, I bought my first Hamilton, I still get the hairy eyeball to this day when I wear it. My grail watch is the Rolex Air King. If I brought one home, however, I would be keeping Jimmy Hoffa company. I bet like George Banks, you feel a surge of deep satisfaction, I know I would! Happy wrist gazing, James.
