My First Watch!

Probably watched a Nico Leonard video which got me hooked onto watches back in September 2021, which led me to desire a watch.

After watching more videos on watches and discovering the world of automatic watches which is funny because most non-watch people have no clue what an automatic watch is, even though it was made before quartz watches. I fell in love with the Rolex Batgirl, I loved the Blue/Black ceramic bezel and the jubilee bracelet and because my budget was very small I went for the cheapest watch on Ali Express with a Blue/Black bezel.

Due to my limited watch knowledge it was advertised with a GMT bezel even though it doesn't have a GMT complication resulting to a useless bezel which does rotate though. It came on a horrible bracelet so switched it out for a Marine National style e-nato which was also purchased from Ali Express. 

Overall, I learnt more about watches and what to expect and look out for when I make my future watch purchases.

Yeah, gotta be careful on AliExpress. Here is a watch I ran across. It took me a minute to catch the problem.

Good choice of strap.

Please be aware that it most likely is NOT water resistant and definitely is neither a chronometer or certified.

There was a demo video where they put it in a cup of water but haven't tried out if it is water resistant or not 😂

You can use it for a second time zone. Just turn the bezel until the hour hand points to the second time zone.
