Salam and hello guys, in this AliExpress Choice Day sales special I’m checking out the Militado ML16, and I honestly think this one is going to be a hit. Normally when we talk about Militado, I think about super affordable pieces like the ML05 and ML10 (both VH31), but this time I feel like they really hit a jackpot with the design and the overall value. The ML16 is basically an homage to a certain German brand (you guys who know Sinn will probably recognize the vibe), and for the sale price it’s really hard to beat on AliExpress. I go through the full sizing and wear on my 6.75 inch wrist: 39mm case, 10.4mm thickness, 45.6mm lug-to-lug, 20mm lug width, and about 117g after I removed three links. You’re getting a bead-blasted case, a 120-click bezel that’s crisp, easy to grip, and most importantly aligns perfectly (not like your typical Seiko). The dial is matte black with big hands, red accents on the bezel and seconds hand, 200m water resistance, sapphire crystal, and the strongest lume among my Militado pieces—BGW9 that glows blue. My main nitpick: the hands look whiter than the indices in daylight, so I hope they improve that in the next iteration.
