Affordable Bronze watches.

Hello Everyone. My first post here! 
I am currently looking for an affordable bronze watch. By affordable, I mean AliExpress kind of price and under 400 US dollars. 
Does anyone know a good one? I am currently looking at one from Boderry on AliExpress but wondered if there are any other choices in the market?

Hi and welcome!

I have a San Martin bronze watch from  AliExpress, it's well made and does what it should.

I also have a bronze Aquatico, they have lots of bronze watches that constantly go on sale.

If you can find a good deal your budget might even stretch to a used  bronze Hamilton Khaki.

Thank you so much Robwei!! 
I will check out the San Martin one! I think I have seen some bronze San Martin ones on some of the YouTube Reviewers' channels. I believe it would be a little more expensive than the Boderry above but probably nicer! Definitely worth checking out! 
I didn't know about Aquatico, and also the bronze Hamilton Khaki. Thank you for letting me know about them!! 
By the way, one reason I was looking for a bronze watch was that when I was in a watch shop this week I saw the copper colored (not real bronze) full-metal G-shock Casiooak that came out last month, and also in the same shop a bronze Maurice Lacroix limited diver watch. Both were beautiful... 
Too many gorgeous watches and not enough money to buy all of them... 
That's why I was looking for an affordable alternative to scratch that itch. Hopefully, I can find one and share its photos here soon! 
Thank you again for your informative reply!!

You're welcome! Just a heads-up: If you like the shiny look of a new bronze watch - this won't  last. Unless you clean it your watch will become dark and dull quickly.

Also, bronze smells. You'll get that light metallic odour...

Just a warning 😉

You can find Glycine bronze combat subs in like new condition for under $400 all day long if you want to go that route.

Like this one. I know the watch is like new because I owned it for about a week (it just wasn’t for me) before selling it on to the guy that’s selling it now. LOL

I found this really good drain AliExpress if you want to get into Bronze very affordably

Tandorio —>it’s a field watch Hamilton style and it has a PT5000 movement so it has 4hz beat rate and regulated well these movements are basically as good as the Sellita SW-200‘s

Thank you Robwei for the heads-up! Yes, I know about Bronze oxidation and its patina look! The photo you posted is gorgeous. Which watch is it? 

Thank you Northshore watch about the Glycine watches! Definitely worth a look. If I can find one for around 100 dollars, I will definitely consider it as I'm located in Japan and need to add postage, import tax, etc. The watch looks amazing. Another bronze model to keep in mind! 

Thank you Simonswatch!! Yes, I actually found the Tandorio shop on Aliexpress! They seem to have a lot of affordable Bronze watches. Also, Baltany has a beautiful half-Bronze watch that has caught my eye too.

Hello everyone! 
I'm just reviving this post to let everyone know that I am now a proud owner of 2 gorgeous bronze watches. Both from AliExpress! So thank you Robwei and Simonswatch for recommending AliExpress to me! What a wonderful place for watch enthusiasts! I even went and bought the very watch that Simonswatch recommended from Tandorio, with my own name engraved on it!! Here are the photos of my two bronze watches!
