My review of the Baltany Constellation s4106

Hey guys, just finished reviewing this beauty. Baltany really nailed this one 🤯

I genuinely think this is one of the nicest affordable dress watches I’ve tried in a long time. Very vintage Omega Constellation Pie Pan vibes, honestly even more appealing than the current models imo. The proportions are fantastic at 36mm x 9.7mm, the top hat sapphire looks amazing in person, and the dial has way more depth and character than I expected.

Also really surprised by how refined the whole watch feels. The Miyota 9015 keeps it thin, it has a custom rotor, great finishing, and even surface hardening.

If you like watches like the Orient Bambino or even the Nomos Club Campus style, this one is seriously worth checking out. You’re saving yourself a lot of money if you don’t care too much about having a traditional luxury brand name on the dial.

Baltany Constellation Pie Pan 36mm 🔥

Hey guys, just finished reviewing this Baltany S4106 and honestly I think this might be one of the best vintage Constellation homages currently out there for the money.

Usually these vintage Omega inspired pieces miss the proportions, go too thick, or cheap out on the crystal and finishing, but Baltany absolutely nailed this one. Proper 36mm case, only 9.7mm thick, 44mm lug to lug, top hat sapphire with AR coating, hardened steel case, sapphire display caseback, and a Miyota 9015 so it actually stays thin and wearable.

The dial is what really sold me though. It genuinely captures that vintage Pie Pan feel better than a lot of watches I’ve seen under the $1000 range, and honestly I prefer the overall execution over many modern “luxury” reinterpretations.

If you like the Orient Bambino, Nomos Club Campus, vintage Omega Constellations, or just good homages done properly, this one is seriously worth a look. For the price, I think it punches absurdly above its weight.

Baltany S4106 Review

Hey guys, just finished reviewing this beauty. Baltany really nailed this one 🤯

I genuinely think this is one of the nicest affordable dress watches I’ve tried in a long time, especially for the price. Very vintage Omega Constellation Pie Pan vibes, honestly even more appealing than the current models imo. The proportions are fantastic at 36mm x 9.7mm with a 44mm lug to lug, so it wears incredibly well even on smaller wrists.

The top hat sapphire with AR coating looks amazing in person, the dial has way more depth and character than I expected, and the whole watch feels much more refined than the price would suggest. It uses the Miyota 9015 automatic movement, has a custom rotor, hardened 316L stainless steel case, sapphire exhibition caseback, genuine leather strap, 18mm lug width, and 50m water resistance.

Also really surprised by how refined the finishing feels overall. If you like watches like the Orient Bambino or even the Nomos Club Campus style, this one is seriously worth checking out. You’re saving yourself a lot of money if you don’t care too much about having a traditional luxury brand name on the dial.

Review of the Boriage B8002G

Hey guys, just finished reviewing this Boriage B8002G.

Would you say this is Original 1000% or homage of something I havent seen yet?

The dial is the highlight, featuring a rotating Earth subdial at 9:00 and an 18k white gold logo that gives it a high end shine you usually don't see at this price. It isn't perfect, though. The brand name on the dial is one of those weird choices that might split opinions, and for a watch this beefy, it only has 50m water resistance with no screw down crown. It is fine, but it feels like it should be more robust.

Boriage moon and Earth review

Hey guys, just finished reviewing this Boriage B8002G. The finishing is definitely the first thing you notice; the brushing is clean and those polished transitions are sharp. It sits comfortably in that middle ground above Addiesdive but not quite at the top tier San Martin level. It has a real presence at 42mm and just under 170g, so it feels like a substantial tool watch on the wrist.

It is fine, but it feels like it should be more robust.

That said, the bracelet system is absolutely genius with a button actuated quick release built right into the end links. In general, I really like the watch despite the quirks. If you are interested, check out my full review here: https://youtu.be/AhAMoj8Hq0Y

Hey guys, I just finished putting together a pretty big AliExpress watch haul video and thought it might be interesting to share.

The lineup goes from ultra budget pieces from less than $10 to more high quality watches bit not super expensive. I tried to keep it focused on real value rather than just random picks. There’s a mix of quartz, automatic, mechanical, digital, and ana-digi watches in there. Some are straight up fun beaters, others are surprisingly well made with sapphire crystal, decent lume, solid finishing, etc.

From the list most of the watches were sent for free by the brands or Aliex 👌

Hey guys, I reviewed this beauty, in the video, I put it through proper real world testing, including underwater shots, macro work, different lighting conditions, fire and freezing tests, plus direct comparisons with other options. I also go into detail on things like the AR coating on the crystal and the actual origin of the brand.

I touch on some logistics too, like current shipping delays, along with a bit of background on the brand’s name and history.

Quick correction: I said in the video that the dial pattern was Japanese, but that’s not quite right. While it was popularized in Japan, the design actually originates from China. I’ve already corrected this in a community post and double checked the information.

I just finished my video review of the Warrior and I'm sharing some information in there that I think is nowhere else right now. I actually contacted the brand directly to get some of the details, the timeline for new stock, and the actual specs on that invisible glass.

I also put the watch through it's paces with a fire test, a freezing temperature, and some tight macro shots of the finishing and that specific dial pattern. I do my usual stuff, taking the thing outside and underwater etc etc

Just a heads up, the discount codes in the video aren't working anymore because they got used up, it's just a temporal placeholder, I'll be updating them as soon as I'm allowed to generate new ones next month.

I actually contacted the brand directly to get the real story behind the shipping delays, the timeline for new stock, and the actual specs on that invisible glass.

What do you think about it? is it a Christopher Ward or IWC homage, or is it actually an original design? I look at the Mongol-inspired heritage and that Japanese Seven Treasures dial pattern and think it stands on its own, specially knowing how well they were able to get the IWC ingenieur

I put it through its paces with a fire, freezing temperatures, and my usual stuff...
