This week, I'm unboxing 2 watches in 1 video! That's right, we're Back In The USSR to unbox two Vostoks, a very special Amphibia, and a Komandirskie I plan on ripping apart and modding!
The Amphibia is my own special creation, assembled by Komandirskie.com for me. if you fancy getting your own one, the affiliate links are below.

P.s The affiliate link below has the Upgraded version of this watch, now with Phylida logo on the dial and the Water Resistance upped to 200 metres!
Well, this has been a long time coming.
This Phylida has been in my queue for review for months! I absolutely love this watch, but between list videos, review copies and new release videos, I kept pushing back the review for this Seamaster GMT homage.
And you know what?
I was wrong to do that! Wearing this one again for the week before the review made me remember why this is one of, if not my favourite GMT homages in the market today. Excellently put together as we can expect from Phylida, with very few drawbacks!

So, this is what happens when you have pocket money burning a hole in your pocket?
This is my third Lorus I've featured on the channel, and one of my few rectangular watches. I've gotten into the more unusual case shapes recently, hopefully you guys enjoy this unboxing.

I finally found my affordable grail! After months of searching for a Steinhart Batman GMT, I finally saw that Gnomon Watches had them back for sale.
So, not being one to miss out, I jumped at the chance to grab myself an Ocean One Titanium GMT. This is a limited edition watch themat Steinhart are no longer making (at least, not this design), so sit back, relax and watch me unbox a watch that will become rarer over time!

Big thanks to Pascal and Seestern for the first free watch on the channel!
This Doxa Sub 300T homage certainly looks the part in bright yellow,and with an NH35 powering it should be bulletproof, but is it criticism proof? Well, I wouldn't be doing a proper watch review of I didn't complain about something, so let's find out together!

This week on The Watchtower, I'm taking a look at one of my favourite brands, Pagani Design, and quite possibly their best watch!
This PD-1649 is an homage of the Tag Heuer Autavia range, and it's one of my firm favourites...provided you make one crucial decision when purchasing. What is that decision? You'll have to watch the review!

Big Thanks to Hong at Boldr for letting me borrow this Odyssey!
This is a proper full size dive watch! Much like the Phoibos Leviathan, this watch is designed for pure utility and function, but does it fulfil it's brief? And is it a full size dive watch that you would like to wear, especially with that meteorite dial?

P.S I do have a review filmed to release, the issue is I have a few pieces on loan so I needed to get the unboxings and review out quickly!

This is NOT clickbait! But, it does have a caveat...
Check out what I think is the best value Rolex Submariner homage you can find, the Steeldive SD1953. An NH35, Ceramic lumed bezel insert, sapphire glass and insane lume?! What's not to like?
I've linked where I got mine from, so maybe they'll run this insane deal again!
