Bought this for my wife to wear at the lake for swimming and rides in the jet skis. Perfect for the summer with little cost.

Corgeut has a 36mm NH34 watch, similar to this but has the look of a Sub vs a SKX. What is your opinion of Corgeut compared to Tandorio? Water resistance, quality, etc.? Obviously both are sub $100 watches on sale so not expecting premium quality

Tandorio is my new favorite AliExpress brand, I’ve seen a few mod videos and they all look awesome when finished. Yes the lume on them isn’t that great and I never trust the water rating on any AliExpress watch. Who is going diving with these anyway ? If I can wash my hands and not destroy my watch I’m ok with that.

@@darrenfry4695 Very true. Guess “expensive” wasn’t the correct word. 😅. My point was, I would rather spend the extra 40 quid or so and buy the better quality Steeldive or Heimdallr. Although for some, 40 quid is not an insubstantial amount of money.

I had an orange tandorio skx and it got dirty so i lightly rinsed it under water in the sink for about 5 seconds and water got inside it. The crown was secure and so was the backplate. 200m? Not even a meter and it drowned. You get what you pay for

Hi John great review and a nice looking watch. Tandorio do a Seiko 5 GMT homage with the Batman bezel and the NH34. I’d be lying if I wasn’t tempted for around £70-£90 but I’m wary of this brand because of the iffy lume and dodgy water resistance. What do you think?
@johnswatchjoint

Hi Michael. You have answered your own question. The Lume is not the best and there is no water resistance. I think therefore you should look elsewhere. I have reviewed a few GMT watches. Check out my playlists :)

I am quite happy with my Seiko/TMI NH35A calibre watches from Invicta and Tandorio :) I think Seiko packed up the SKX, because they could not keep the price down, without cutting corners! You can still get them with a Prospex badge. They also still make lower end watches, but they no longer try make a 1000 dollar watch to sell it for 200. Citizen on the other hand is a bad story. 4 of 7 Citizen/Miyota quartz calibres failed in both of my Citizen and three Skagen watches, with only 2 Skagens left now! On the other hand, I still have every Seiko/Hattori/TMI quartz calibre watch that was not stolen over the years, and they are up to 35 years old. I simply do not trust Citizen anymore, but Seiko/TMI calibre watches, mechanical and quartz, I will buy any day, as I did on a recent watch-mania spree since Xmas with 4 NH35A (2 Invicta Pro Diver, 2 Tandorio field/Flieger), a PC32 Invicta Pro Diver, and a Pagani VK63 Daytona homage!

Islander fanboy hearing stating the obvious (for US customers- I understand import/VAT might disqualify the following statement): ISLANDER 38mm's are the absolute best value 013 and 007 clomages. They come stock with all 0f the mods a proper watch geek would make to a Seiko, for the OG price of the 013 and 007 (200-300 USD) and Marc and his crew/family are the absolute BEST, providing outstanding cust. svc.

i actually watched your first video and purchased the Tandorio, since i had a 42mm Seiko sport and was looking for a smaller alternative. its a great watch but the bezel ruins it , because of the matte finish it looks like someone glued a bottle cap on the watch and it ends up looking crap even the finish makes it look like I used a spray-paint can to color the bezel. if they just changed the finish of the bezel or made it a different style instead of the bottle cap it would be a fantastic watch.
