Ilikewatches

I’ll be making a list of the 10 most popular watches bought through my links later……a prize for the first person to guess the top 3 correctly! I’ll only be taking your first guess so make it….count!

Early access….

Bit of a set back….I’ve not given up all hope but I can’t exactly risk legal action against me….

Morning and a warm welcome to the new Patreons who have joined this month…

If anyone is having issues viewing the private Patreon only channels on Discord, please let me know.

I’ll start the 4 Xmas Patreon only Giveaways this month and it will all be communicated via email and Discord.

The Patreon watch reviews will start soon, 5 watches were sent out recently and another 5 will be sent soon..It’s going to take a while but I’d love to eventually offer all Patreons the opportunity to help me review watches…which they will then keep!

Apologie...

CONGRATULATIONS Raymond Henry! Pick a watch for the October Patreon Giveaway! 17 and 7 are no longer available sadly but I can offer you the Escapement time Type B pilots watch with the automatic movement or any of the remaining 18 watches in the picture…?

I have reported this to YouTube and Google….hopefully they will investigate and perhaps helps determine if this is genuine, I’ve also emailed the channel owner to let them know I received it and what my course of action will be…

I was thinking that this could potentially be an extension to the recent spammer scam attacks I had and the thought crossed my mind that other channels could be receiving emails from someone posing as me (someone could be f%#king with us) so I’m going to email the channel owners of the channels I know and warn them which could help prevent some conflict should someone react badly and this may also help to move the journey along to finding out if this is real? I’ll also post a video on it ...

A disturbing email….seemingly from another YouTube channel…I posted a San Martin review today so they got their answer🤣

It has been reported to YouTube and I am trying to verify the source and if I am able to confirm the email is genuine and not as a result of a hacked account or perhaps some sort of fancy name changing trick that seems to be all too common then I will sing like a bird but I first wanted to get this out to a few people in the community so should the worst happen…there is some knowledge of the threat the channel is continuing to face…This is really making me think hard about moving away fro...

These are the colours of ceramic inserts that match the closest to the colours we asked for….we have also agreed to only use the logo on the dial and leave off the name…thoughts?

This looks pretty good! They want me to help launch the watch with a review on the day of launch 9th November!

The “turtle” trademark for class 14 (watches) was owned by some random bloke in the U.K….that was until the 30th of September when it expired so I’ve applied for it…if I become the new owner this will prevent legal action against YouTubers….because, well I’m not going to prevent people from using it…😂

Early access…thoughts on the new backdrop?

These are my last 10 uploads and today’s is smashing it in terms of views…that little Chinese watch has stirred up sone interest..

3 out of the next 4 watches reviewed are brands I have never reviewed before! Shanghai Watch, Uni-Dive and Rdunae….and a San Martin comparison…

Without me knowing, this watch has been sent to me to review…what do you think of it and should I review it?

Here is the link to the watch if you wanted to go to the official store…https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9vDAur

I’m always on the hunt for the next best thing….and this might be it! PT5000 and all the good specs for $115…apparently it’s amazing…https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AK8nJ7

Can you spot the difference? No? It’s the price… one watch costs £2,700 and the other £200….😂 I’d love to know the profit margin on “Swiss made” watches 🤦🏻‍♂️

I haven’t checked with the factory that these colours can be made….

but I think these are the options I’d like to offer…top row is the black range….black markers and indexes etc…bottom row it more traditional, silver and white markers and indexes…are there any other colours we should consider?

It’s looking like logo A will be selected. I’ve been exploring colours again and I’ve added a new black indexes and marked template to my arsenal!

I have sent an email detailing all the watches I currently have for sale…

I have now added the third and final option….please picture these logos on all styles of watches and then pick…A, B or C? The font may change…we are focusing on the logo first!

More information on the San Martin agent scheme…

Here are the two finalists…..

I’ll be posting a video on ILW soon asking for votes….but it’s always nice to get your opinions first….A or B?

I wore this to Coventry…..

I really like it! Yes….the name will get some negative attention but that dial…..😍

Had a fantastic day in Coventry…

Went to Francis and Gaye but then also met up with Mike from the YouTube channel My Retro Watches and vintage watch expert Andy from the Vintage Japanese Watch Company. Here is just a selection of the watches I was able to appreciate today!

This is interesting!

If I became an agent I could potentially supply and sell San Martin watches and at discounted prices? Thoughts?

I sent the link for my video to Matic….

I always send the links to the sellers so they get the feedback be it good or bad…obviously on this occasion it was mostly bad and I included a detailed description of the problems I had with my watch when I sent them the link….this was the response I got….I’m not hopeful that they’ll change much sadly….it’s probably too late, the watches are already made…

Heard of Ironwatch? Thoughts? 9015 for $299…

Here is a link to it on the WR Watches website…https://wrwatches.com/collections/iron-watch/products/iron-watch-vintage-oyster

These watches have been sent….

…to Patreons for review…It may take some time but I plan to offer every Patreon the opportunity to review a watch….I can’t wait to see how the reviews evolve…

I’m heading over to Coventry on the 16th October….

….to look at some watches at Francis and Gaye….is there anyone local that wants to join me? I’ll be there between 11am and 1pm

I spent the day filming with these watches…

Do any stand out?
