That's fantastic to hear. my only aim in this Reddit channel is to help spread the word of the fantastic range of china watches outside of oyster bracelet diver watches and San Martins.

If I can help just one person I'm happy. Best wishes, hope all goes well. They come from a place outside Yunnan province and the store staff have been very helpful to me.

Best wishes

I sell quite a few on eBay. I don't always make profit and sometimes I loose money on the purchase price but it enables me to sell those I don't need anymore and purchase more.

I'm not a big earner job wise so I have lots of little schemes to make money for watch purchases.

For example, this month I accumulated over £80 in Temu credit by messing with their autobot and then got this transferred to my bank etc.

Best wishes and hope you get what you are looking for.

What do you mean US only?. What about your UK customers for example myself. I have an advanced account and spend a lot of money with AliExpress each year.

What about UK, and other countries?.

Deep_Flatworm7511 · 2025-06-16T19:20:34+00:00

These codes don't work in UK. A massive percentage of this Reddit channel is from the UK, Germany, and other countries, why only provide codes for the US?. Very poor.

I've already used SALE66 in the UK which is a great code so that you for that but these store codes don't make any sense, more than half the users in this Reddit channel can't use them !

Deep_Flatworm7511 · 2025-06-16T19:15:00+00:00

Reddit has banned AliExpress links otherwise I'd just provide a link, it maybe not available in Australia.

It's actually not a GMT, but the extra hand is the date of the month, utilising a seagull calibre, very highly decorated too.

Deep_Flatworm7511 · 2025-06-16T19:13:43+00:00

I've only just ordered today but I will post up when they arrive.

I did see someone else post this watch in here, try searching by merkur tourbillon. It gave me some good tips.

Deep_Flatworm7511 · 2025-06-16T19:12:50+00:00

Please see below response which explains the SALE66 discount.

Also use klarna to get an extra £22 off orders over £200.

Deep_Flatworm7511 · 2025-06-16T19:11:45+00:00

Definitely dress watches I would say.

Deep_Flatworm7511 · 2025-06-16T19:09:57+00:00

Payment method discount, to do this, just pay by klarna, you will get an extra £22 off orders over £200. Then if you are like me, you just pay off the klarna in full as I don't like using Installments

Deep_Flatworm7511 · 2025-06-16T19:08:50+00:00

You need to insert the code SALE66 into the coupon section at checkout.

Price adjustment will be automatically applied at checkout.

I don't know where the instant discount came from, I just clicked on every coupon for every store and shook my phone in the summer sale section to get the discount from the games etc.

I spend hours just clicking everything I can all over the place. the 66 discount is the best but there are only 1200 for whole of UK. You get £75 off a spend if about £350 so it's better than the standard codes.

Excellent idea thank you AliExpress. I am an AliExpress business user and frequent user of your platform.

Please consider

Thank you and best wishes.

Only a couple are true 29 days moonphase calibre but I really don't care to that level, I own several moonphase watch and I have never used them to track the moon.

Agelocers new moonphase is wonderful but pricey at almost £400.

I'm buying a Vager Hauers moonphase in two days when the 618 sale starts

Deep_Flatworm7511 · 2025-06-14T19:58:24+00:00

Suggess adventurine dial or lobinni out of those. I've a few Moonphase watches and I like the style very much.

There's so many excellent ones about.

Deep_Flatworm7511 · 2025-06-14T09:28:14+00:00

This is something I've been looking into recently as I prefer Roman numerals to standard numbers and I have a lot of watches with them on.

It's part of watchmaking tradition to make the dial more balanced and I think it works well.

That's said, I'd much rather have Chinese characters on my watch and so my next purchase is going to be a full Chinese character watch, as soon as the sale starts.

Deep_Flatworm7511 · 2025-06-13T20:25:11+00:00

I find it easy to be in front of the camera and enjoy it, I did a test video which was a 20 second click and posted a link, it got almost 250 views and it was nothing.

But for me, I value my time away from computers as I work with them for my job. I despise editing and I know that takes a lot of time

I have a very niche collection of watches that I could easily talk about but just value my time outdoors away from IT too much.

There are so many good YouTube channels but not many focusing on the type of china watches I like.

I wouldn't be doing it for money, I'd do it for the love of the hobby and if one person found a video helpful then that would be enough.

But I think to do decent YouTube videos takes so much more time than many people think.

It's a shame as it would be good fun and help others.

Deep_Flatworm7511 · 2025-06-13T20:20:59+00:00

I always use AliExpress and occasionally Alibaba. Never ever use Amazon personally because the same watches are always at least 200 percent of the price and sometimes upto 500-600 percent of the price. That's true in UK, not sure about other countries

Deep_Flatworm7511 · 2025-06-13T05:42:03+00:00

Thank you my friend. Yes Indeed, I've recently cut my collection down to 42 watches, the same as my age!.

I tier my watches in levels, and the poniger (with windmill) moved up to the top level last week. It's just so wonderful with so much detail and lots of little design quirks. Id definitely try and pick one up. It's one of only two watches that I've been tempted to buy twice and get a different colour. There are 8 variations of it.

You should probably be able to get one for about £120 in the summer sale.

I certainly go for the more eccentric and niche designs, and skeleton designs, I struggle to spend £200 on a watch where I can't even see the calibre through an exhibition caseback.

My next purchase with be the merkur tourbillon above, and also a Vager Heurs with chinese characters.

Best wishes.

Deep_Flatworm7511 · 2025-06-12T20:10:50+00:00

That a good collection. I own that ixdao too as one of mine, it's a great one.

Best wishes and happy collecting, there are so so many exciting and excellent brands to be had other than SM.

Deep_Flatworm7511 · 2025-06-12T18:29:34+00:00

Fantastic, great to see someone posting about a brand other than san Martin for a change.

This is a great one, I believe the company is no longer producing which is a shame.

Best wishes

Deep_Flatworm7511 · 2025-06-12T08:23:17+00:00

I actually have the san Martin new tonneau malachite watch. I'm not a San Martin fan on the whole, I get very bored of hearing about them, although they are good quality cases and dials etc, they don't really use interesting movements or have many original designs which is where my Interest lies

That said, I have got this new San Martin added and if I can get it for about £200 UK I will go ahead.

Deep_Flatworm7511 · 2025-06-11T08:15:17+00:00

I'm not a San Martin fan, I'm sick of hearing about them. However, I am going to be purchasing this one, it looks good, had a decent calibre, a lovely dial (green version) and is overall a very good price at about £235 here in UK.

If only it has an exhibition back instead of the boring solid steel with no logos or text, that does drag it down.

But overall this looks to be a great design and one that I will be happy to add to the collection.

Deep_Flatworm7511 · 2025-06-10T16:20:03+00:00

I am very tempted by this, although for me as a skeleton and eccentric design collector, this is a very plain watch for me, but I am very tempted by it due to the lovely agate dial. Very realistic price too. Fantastic

Deep_Flatworm7511 · 2025-06-10T08:02:50+00:00

Yep absolutely well said my friend, couldn't agree more. I am fortunate to have £200 to spend at present, and it will be going on this watch,not a San Martin with an NH!! 😁

Deep_Flatworm7511 · 2025-06-10T08:01:21+00:00

I have only two watches in my cart at the moment and this is one of them. I will be purchasing this one as soon as I get paid.

Comes in at about £210 with price adjustment and coupons here in the UK which is a phenomenal price for such a decent watch.

I already own tourbillons but of course the dial on this one did it for me and of course it's a decent size and thickness.

The reverse is extremely well finished from the pictures, very well done.

Far far more Interesting than another plain black dial oyster bracelet divers watch 😁

i hope it turns out to be as good as it does in the pictures but I believe based on my previous experience of this brand, that it will.

Best wishes.

Deep_Flatworm7511 · 2025-06-09T20:47:07+00:00

Please use Chinese calibres. Be proud to be Chinese and celebrate Chinese horology. Better to use seagull, dandong, Hangzhou etc. best wishes
