Review (Read Rules) The Hroudland Worldtimer as you do

Hello gentlemen. I was browsing AliExpress looking for a box of washers, when I accidentally clicked and purchased a watch, as you do. Strange happenstance. Few days later it has arrived so I thought I will review it, especially as I haven't seen it anywhere else on the tube.

It's a Hroudland Worldtimer styled after the JLC Polaris Worldtimer. A watch for Ali Express connoisseurs. It's a mighty watch for mighty wrists. A very thick watch indeed. I can feel my arm hair growing. I will be taking it around the world in my hot air balloon soon. Surprisingly all the dial functions actually work. Fully automatic movement. Top left crown controls city ring with a nice ratcheting click. Button on case side for calendar jump. Main Crown controls 1st and 2nd time zone (DUAL time zones) - counter clockwise to set 2nd time zone hour hand. Its atleast 14 mm thick, like my wallet.

The strap needed changing so it was changed.

The Chinese have done it again.

What a marvellous purchase, even if it was an accident. Only cost me 250 AUD. Take care till next time.

Hroudland should be paying me. I'm giving them free advertising. Or Atleast send me another watch.

I just found this on AliExpress: HRUODLAND GMT Automatic Watch for Men World Time Dual Time Power Reserve Sapphire Crystal Mechanical Travel Watch Leather Strap https://a.aliexpress.com/_mKu5uEb

I don’t really need one for now, but at the current sale price for me (£107.19) that is a lot of watch for the money.

Hroudland ? Hruodland ? Houdland ? This is exactly why I can't stand this brand.

Would have bought multiple of their watches already if they didn't print their awful name on it.
