Five Watch Collection for less than $450 from AliExpress
I have been indulging myself a bit with the recent sale on AliExpress. I put together a nice little five watch collection for less than $100 per watch. All five have Seiko movements and sapphire crystal. Four of them are Tandorio and the last is a complete impulse buy from Pagani Designs. Here are all five.
Tandorio SKX homage with tsunami dial. 37mm and 200m WR. $67
Next up is a 36mm CUSN8 bronze case field watch that also has 200m WR from Tandorio. $95
This next one was a bit of a surprise when I ran across it. Tandorio 39mm Pilot watch with a titanium case and 200m WR.$90
Here is another surprise from Tandorio, a Rolex Explorer II homage/rip-off with the new NH34 GMT movement and 200m WR. $99
Finally, the watch I am calling the Capricorn One, the Pagani Designs Moon Watch homage/rip-off of the Mission to Mars MoonSwatch; hence the name Capricorn One, from a movie about a fake NASA Mars mission. 🤣 $86

I've never given Tandorio any consideration, how are they? I too have the MoonSwatch, and think it's a far better watch than the original.
I think you get a lot for your money with Tandorio! Even more so than with Pagani Designs. I think the quality is similar to PD, at least in my experience, although it is easy to spot where money was saved. All casebacks are the same design, no signed crowns, cheap hardware on the straps, and some sharp edges. However, I have not seen any dust or debris on the dial, the brushing is consistent, and sapphire crystal and 200m WR are standard features on all the models I have looked at on AliExpress. I would recommend Tandorio as a good budget option to fill out your collection.
Great Selection!
How are the quality? Seems good

I am actually surprised by the quality of Tandorio watches. You get a pretty good watch for minimal money.

That’s great!
That mission to mars Pagani better than the Swatch/Omega brand good deal I like that. Capricorn One was sure a OJ classic.
