Can't go wrong with certain brands on AliExpress. A lot of bang for your buck. Screw the snobbs who look down their noses at us who buy homage watches from China. I have yet to be disappointed by any of the pieces I have bought from them in the past two years.

I would submit that the Duro has become a modern classic in its own right. A great, and maybe the best, dive-style watch to get you in to collecting watches. Also, there are quite a bit of mod parts out there to make it your own.

I've wanted one of these for a long time, but they are never in stock and they also ship from the UK.

Would have to be a Datejust. I'm torn between this and the Oyster Perpetual without the date window and cyclops. Right now, I have a Seiko 5 SNXS79 that scratches the itch for now.

Looked at this brand before. They make a nice Tudor Ranger homage. They have it on AliExpress that offers either a PT5000 movement (Chinese ETA 2824 clone) and a Sellita SW200.

Glad to see more folks on the forum showing love for the new Pagani chronograph!

I ordered one from AliExpress as soon as I saw the review Jody (Just One More Watch) did on youtube. I do like the blue, but went with the panda dial and added a leather strap to it.
