Currently somewhat tempted by this Epoch watch on Ali.

At £200 it's the higher end of what I'd be willing to pay from there, especially when I'm almost certain it won't be a patch quality wise on a San Martin.

Still, multi coloured Tritium for under £200 appeals to the child in me!

I'm a fan of the Chinese stuff In general, and I use Ali Express quite a lot, but I wouldn't want to be paying 200 quid for one I don't think.

I agree, the numbers look off and it looks cheap from the photos, so who knows what it'll look like in the flesh.

I think there's a few brands I'd spend nearer to that amount on. Sugess or Seagull but they do tend to be a bit more tried and tested. I do love a bit of AliExpress but any watches I wasn't sure on, I'd be checking out for Youtube videos or online reviews.

Speaking of Sugess, their Breitling Premier copies are going for £90 on Ali, which is a fair bit less than usual.

Oh you rotten sod! Offer fatty another cream cake why don't you?

Fortunately for me 40mm is a bit on the large size (why would you when there's a 38mm available?) and I don't like the chrono second hand on the 38mm versions.

Edit: Would you look at that? My PH account is 21.

Probably the wrong strap colour-wise but I couldn’t be arsed to resize the bracelet. Plus this strap is broken in and super comfy.

Anyway, case bezel crystal and bracelet are all absolutely unmarked. The Nh35 is running pretty much bang-on. Not bad for £52 shipped to my door (€60)

So, I almost bought the original all black bezel one which is currently available on Amazon for £122, but at the last minute switched to the half burnt orange bezel version of yours for £92 new, because it looked a bit more interesting and I already have a black, grey and orange striped NATO that I think it should look great on. Free shipping from US, will report back when it arrives.

I did have to laugh at the name of this brand... Don't know if something has got lost in translation or it is deliberate and they know their typical customer very well.

But, I present to you...

Walter Mitt military style watches.
