whats with the bell ding tho

I appreciate the effort but the design of the skeleton is pretty terrible. That weird "bow-tie" design under the logo is pretty cringe.

I think rolex is overrated. When you don't have one, you think, "I want one of those." When you get one, you think, "Meh, very average watch."

I always stay away from Aliexpress watches that seem too cheap. But this one seems good for the price. Only the longevity of the movement is to be seen.

actually a nice looking watch

This watch seems to avoid the gaudiness that many skeleton watches seem to fall victim to- making it a lot more versatile. I like it 🙂

Interesting watch, I’ve never owned a skeleton watch before and those timegrapher specs are impressive! Thanks for the generous giveaway!

Really like the fact that there's a very good view of the escapement doing its thing. Some skeletons fail on that part. The butterfly clasp is not so good but what can you do.

I've got a Victorinox Chrono classic XLS MT which I belive is more similar to the Breitling than the DS 8. Bought it ten years ago för abot 1 000 $ and it works perfectly.

Looks good, enjoy the new house 👌🏻

Should have waited until the end of the video to leave a comment, haha. You're giving this away! That's awesome, and thank you for the great review, I'd love to know your thoughts on this Hangzhou movement, as I have no experience with any Hangzhou movement. Thanks again!

It’s an art piece, so it might not be a bad thing that you have to take a long look to get the time. I do like that bracelet, too.

I'm on the fence on this one. I've always been a HUGE fan of a well made skeleton watch, but these Chinese watches that I can afford always offer up boring, and flat looking skeletons. This has depth like higher end skeletons, I might have to pull the trigger.

Nice looking watch. Thanks for sharing.

Nice looking watch. Thanks for the review

pretty cool

Such an interesting watch. I remember finding it in AliExpress and I'm glad you made a review because it seemed too good to be true. I guess it isn't...

I like the subtle butterfly on the face. It’s a good watch to look at. All the best!

Was surprised on the cost of the watch. Enjoy your move.

Love this watch. Excellent review

Great review! Do you still have the Bulova Surveyor Skeleton?

almost as nice as the tourbillion

I bought this watch over a year ago and it had spent more time at the shop getting its besel fixed than on my wrist. It is a piece of garbage.

So has uncle seiko made a bracelet

I have this watch and agree - the orange bezel is so striking and beautiful. This is my summer chrono.

Your videos are very interesting and well filmed (love the close up shots), keep up the good work ! 👍

Love it! And the snow made it look even better btw 😂

Lesson I learned is that Sarx 057 is pound to pound the best watch ever!!

I feel sorry man. Design is pretty good though. Like other people in a comments, I'd say don't give up, it is an experience anyway. Btw, 6k sounds a lot, is it a normal pricing?

That’s a lovely design. I do think it’s priced a little high, but thems the times. I wholeheartedly agree with your call for quick release bracelets - the feature adds so much utility. And why anyone would not use quick release for any regular strap is quite beyond me these days :) P.S. how do you adjust the bracelet? Is it pins or screws?

Just got one for my travels. Love it

Nice but that is a very very crowded part of the market. It's up against the 556 which is the gold standard as far as I am concerned..

These are brilliant watches and it is really annoying that, like the best Japanese models, they are JDM-only. I fail to see how this benefits the brands sales figures.

I bought one but returned it, the bezel was not aligned (I guess an accurate Seiko homage in that way). I had seen so many in videos that looked perfect, so was really disappointed I got one where it wasn't aligned. I've bought nearly a dozen Chinese watches off Aliexpress and never had an alignment issue with any of them, so ultimately didn't re-order after I sent it back. Shame though, it seemed decently made. Every time I see these videos I kind of wonder again, but I don't want to buy and return to get one with proper alignment. Maybe bad luck, but at least that was my experience.

Thanks, I have one on order ... i hope to like it

3:21 I spin the bezel a few times under freshwater in a sink after a saltwater dive to break up any salt that may have crystallized during the initial drying out process. Without doing so, bezels have a tendency to feel rougher/harder to turn.

It’s a handsome watch. The “rally track reminds me a lot of the Islander ISL-135.

Too add a small update - I have since received the official integrated rubber strap and it's a total game changer. Way more comfortable, suits the watch perfectly and elevates the whole package to kind of where I wanted it to start with. I have a channel update video that's shows this off posted just after this one - if you're curious... 🙂👍

Orion is doing an amazing job! This is a very nice-looking watch. I love the pop of yellow. Great review as always my friend!

For the amount of work and things replaced, $700 is pretty good. The movement is a hybrid mechanical-quartz, so its service cost should be in between the two. When buying at the lower tier of used watch prices one is always rolling the dice that the watch is due a major overhaul

1. The modern Air King is butt ugly 2. I never understood the "making memories with a watch" thing. To me good memories and anything I happen to be wearing are largely separate. Same way I don't commemorate the socks and underwear I happen to wear on the day of the promotion

That is from a design point a beautiful watch! The one with the metal bracelet keeps grabbing my attention. Kudos for trying and love your vision in designing a watch!

Nice review! In short: a beautiful watch, get a new bracelet/strap and, if you can, find the watch at a discount. Cheers.

Why would anyone buy seiko crap? Knowing they cant even align a dial. Wait a few years and get a fugu for 200$

Proxima is a way better name than Parnspre or Berny 😂

They look childish

what does this watch homage to exactly?

Great video. I have my Formula 1 Calibre 5 for 12 years now. It works perfectly and in great condition

I have aeen it black ceramic gmt before few hours. Impressuve i like it. But the clasp the only thing needs upgrade, so to become the same class to rest of the watch. Price tag 1700€ in Athens.

I just bought the 1521 with the blue dial. I absolutely love the orange minute hand! Its a great watch and they are coming out with a 1521 bracelet.
