You Will Usually Only Find Dials This Good On Unobtainable Luxury Watches!

New watch release and it's a beauty designed to compete with luxury watches from Switzerland but for a fraction of the price IXDAO dress watch. Here is an affiliate link to the watch featured in this video. https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_opWhH7r FULL DISCLOSURE Free Watch - YES, like ALL watch review channels I do accept free watches on occasions but this does not have any bearing on the review. Paid Cash - NO, although this is very common now, I never have and never will accept money! Affiliate Link - YES Affiliate Discount Code - NO Connection To Brand - NO Visit my website! ilikewatches.net MY OTHER YOUTUBE CHANNEL I Like Watches 2 - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyLMMr193PoKLu3VvXI4yFg WHY I OFTEN DON'T MENTION OTHER BRANDS IN MY VIDEOS. You may have noticed that I often don't mention the original brands that watches I am reviewing pay homage to. This is very intentional and not meant to offend you or the original brands. I lost my first channel in October 2020 which I had spent 9 months growing and invested a significant amount of money in simply because I had mentioned the original brands in some of my videos. There are people who try to use YouTubes lack of understanding when it comes to the difference between homage watches and fake watches to attack other channels and their owners and sadly I fell foul of this in 2020. This channel was also attacked recently and YouTube deleted content simply because I had said 'subby homage' and 'Rolex homage' in two videos despite the watches in the videos being perfectly legal homage watches. Please understand that I can not afford to risk my channel so I will no longer be mentioning other brands when reviewing homage watches. HERE ARE SOME MORE USEFUL LINKS!

I received this last week and I have spent some time with it. its a brand new release and can be bought via a link below. If you are looking for an alternative to Seiko Willard or an homage to that watch then this might just tempt you. The Seiko Turtle is no longer available either so again this should be in your cross-hairs if you miss that classic piece. Sometimes you need to scratch an itch and sometimes that itch is fully scratched without the need for that ever-elusive and overly expensive watch. You don't need to impress your friends...you just want a good watch for not too much money! This is a lot of watch for not a lot of money...relatively speaking! The IXDAO JD-X07S is beautifully made with the kind of finishing we come to expect from this brand. Check out my review where I go into every detail of this stunning watch.
