Seriously though….what’s the name of the cologne????

The picture of the prx wasnt an automatic one...

Hint. When you are talking about the watch, have the watch on the screen. If you are talking about something else, you can show your faces. Otherwise its very very annoying.

Great video Love that Rolex date with the gold textured case and bracelet. Not seen it before. Thank you for sharing. I thought the Grand Seiko 2023 release of the platinum SBGZ009 with the white birch texture case was original. But now I see Rolex have played in similar spaces before.

Love these videos!!

So what was the cologne?

Prx shown was quartz…all automatic have waffle dial both 35mm and 40mm

Thanks for the feature!

Cathedral hands are also used on Oris Big Crown Pointer Date and it’s awesome! 👌🏻👌🏻

I hated cathedral hands, but when i saw the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date that statement changed quick

Florentine comes really from being from the city where they pass the technique from generation to generarion of jewelers. It goes fron jewelry even into some special furniture and needs special tools until today etc.

Cathedral hands are on the best starter watches. The alpinist, the murph, the big crown pointer

the picture of prx tissot wrong, u said it is automatic, but on the picture is quartz model

I’ve tried looking on the site but I can’t see what model that vintage JLC is. Can anyone help?

"A healthy collection evolution"...I will use this on my wife when asked about another watch (or guitar) purchase.

This Omega Contellation Electronic is an absolute pain to take care of and service, but man, look how beautiful it is....

I fell into the "3-4 watch collector" space having anymore than that makes it feel impossible to rotate them with sufficient use but the 4 in my collection is a rolex air king 5500 ref. Cartier ronde solo/ tank must and a jlc reverso monoface with the exception of a b&m Hampton that's TBD

Cathedral hands on round case watches look funny to me. On square, rectangular or tonneau they seem to fit better.

The seamaster chronograph is a beautiful watch, but with 35 mm case it seems too thick to me on my wrist for a small watch. I therefore prefer chronographs around 40mm. I wear 35 mm watches, but only flat 3 hand watches.

That last watched looked similar to the Hamilton Ventura

Is it just me, but I went to the theo and harris watch shop and couldn't find any jlc.

When I got into watches, it was all about Rolex, had a couple, made me feel great. But deep down it was all about impressing other people. Moved to Omega, love them, flys under the radar and beautiful. But I never really connected with Omega. Now my taste has changed completely and JLC is the next step for me, they are beautifully made, elegant and timeless. Not overly flashy, but if you know, you know. What I have realised on my journey, is that watches have been very transactional until now. I want a watch I connect with, but isn’t for other people. I am looking for a watch / brand that I will have forever and hand down to my children.

Nah!! All luxury watches are overrated. I was heavily into Omega. Owned many Seamasters, several speedies- Moon watch and MkII. WW2 dirty dozen and even a Concorde Flightmaster. The brand did nothing for me either. I sold all of them and got into Rolex and JLC. I now own 7 Rolexes and 2 JLCs. Subs, Sea Dweller, Explorer I & II, OP, Daytona white gold, Reverso Duo, Memovox. I recently bought two of the Swatch Fifty Fathoms -Atlantic and Antarctic. Now I just wear my cheap bio-ceramic Swatches. The Rolex and JLC sit in the watchbox and winder. All you need is a Swatch. Save your money. Spend it on your health instead.

I have owned, used, and treasured 18 G-Shock quartz watches from rare to limited edition.they ranged in price from thousand to hundreds In addition, I owned 5 automatic watches: Tudor Longines, Tissot, Omega, and Breitling Just a month ago, I dropped my Tissot automatic watch and it started to run five to ten minutes faster. I had to get it serviced and repaired. However, I dropped a number of my G shock watches multiple times without ever having to send them in to be fixed. The only things that separate an Automatic watch from a Quartz watches are their longevity and how fragile they are when dropped; because of this, I do take great care to avoid dropping any more of my other automatic watches.

Current collection: Omega Speedmaster “Moonwatch” Sapphire, Tudor Black Bay “Heritage”, and Garmin Fenix 5. Next watch…

White Gold is kinda meh! It’s “grey” and platinum is @ historic lows but all the watch companies are still charging us the inflated price for platinum. Platinum is truly white, has so much more brilliance than white gold and platinum is awesome for the frequency/vibrations of high beat calibers like the mighty El Primero!

Ironically, she loved to cook, but she would always need an assistant to taste her cooking. Her dishes tend to be super spicy to compensate for the lack of most of her taste. I don't think she's into watches, but if she is, I wonder what kind of watches she likes.

how do you guys have the nerve to charge $8k for a 1603 datejust? that's at most a $5k watch.

Not sure whether you will see this comment but I think that these kinds of videos are not what the majority of us subscribed for. They are excellent videos, though I think that you are more than just a channel for ”watch news“ and new stuff. I personally find myself rewatching some older videos of you, as I think they have an element of personality and originality. As said before; there is nothing wrong with these videos and you seem to get reasonable views with consistency, but they don’t really feature your core qualities of storytelling and personality.
