30m is barely pool safe, let alone diving to that depth. Totally different things

Agree with your Bremont take. I was thinking youtubers were avoiding discussing them because they didn’t want to dump on them. My watch box(es) are full and Bremont are a bit beyond what I want to spend but the 40mm supermarine and solo37 had my attention. The new offerings don’t seem to come together in the same way

That black bay monochrome is just 👌🏻🔥 another watch that’s been added to my ever growing wish list 😂

If I ever need to go deeper than 30M with my Patek minute repeater chronograph perpetual calendar tourbillon I hold my left arm up.

Christopher Ward has launched the new C63 Sealander GMT in 36mm as a go anywhere anytime anyone watch. ⌚️

A note on Patek and 30m: depth ratings are done in a stationary environment. That means they do not account for pressure due to movement. You know, like the pressure of your body moving when you swim. Rule of thumb is whatever it says it can do, assume it can do half of that when diving. Safe side.

Not actually true, from Jack Forster in 2017 on Hodinkee, "Without repeating all the calculations here (they involve denominators and the Greek alphabet and are PITA to type out), at a depth of 330ft(100 m) and moving your arm at 3 ft/sec, the dynamic pressure is in the order of magnitude of 0.14 feet of head or 0.04% of the depth. Even assuming you could move your arm at 20 ft/sec (14 mph!) the dynamic pressure is only about 6.2 feet of additional depth (

I'm totally reverse on my thoughts about Bremont. The new logo and moving from being focused on mainly pilot watches to having land/sea/air watches broadens the audience, including to me. And since when is lowering prices a bad thing?

Tag Heuer, Cartier and Tudor for me. Thanks for the video. Another great start to my day! Happy weekend !!

Is the bb58 gmt metas also?

Britt - you can def be a wedding singer on the side...🤣

AAAAHHHHHH. Britt.. 30m of water resistance doesn't mean it works to a depth of 30m, it's the dumbest standard ever but 30m means it is safe to wash your hands and if you get stuck in the rain you'll be fine. Don't swim with 30m watches. Patek probably doesn't want to hold their warranty for those that swim in their watches.

Auntie Britt! Great video and recap of the show. As a card carrying member of the Tudor cult, and according to many a very boring guy, I messaged my AD, at 6 in the morning of the release, to have my name put on the list for a BB Monochrome (with the not-a-Jubilee bracelet). I did think about the BB58 GMT for a moment, but I have a BB GMT "Root Beer Lite" already so my need for a gilt dial and bezel has already been scratched (And the 41mm does suit me a touch better). Keep up awesome content. Long Live the Cult(s), and 4:30 date windows.

Britt is here... 😊🤩 And yep... Tudor is on fire. Love the look of the GMT but need to have it in my hands to decide on that one. The all black BB on jubilee bracelet, oh no... sorry.. 5 link bracelet 🤪... looks stunning and 41 mm is spot on for me. But for me the king of W&W has to be the full gold Deep Sea, I think that's just absolutely stunning 😍 of course I cannot afford it but that another problem 😁 Cheers Britt, great video and enjoy the weekend !!!

I liked the FC releases too.

I didn't really pay any attention to Bremont, but I like their GMT's. No nonsense and very legible.

I’m with you about bremont. I loved their designs with the MBii MBiii. And a lot of their dive gmts. But their new stuff this year…I mean it’s such a departure and looks really bland and horrid.

Winning releases for me, in no particular order: - Parmigiani Toric - JLC Duometre - Nomos Tangente 31 colors collection - Chopard LUC XPS Forest Green - Cartier Tortue Monopoissoir - De Bethune Purple Rain - De Bethune Kind of Grand Complication - VC Traditionelle Tourbillon Chrono - Czapek Promenade Guilloche - IWC Portugieser Chrono with Dune dial

SO GOOD!

I am not a Rolex fan boy, I do not even have the budget for a Rolex, but I kinda understand and appreciate the reason why they keep their releases more conservative. I think watch brands like Rolex don't change their watches much and play safe to keep their previous releases relevant to their owners. Of course I do not agree with their expensive metal only releases, but I understand the reason of not changing their design much. I think that what Rolex should do is to stop releasing precious metal watches and start making more stainless steel version of all of their models

Vacheron are always my winner - but Zenith blew me away this year!!! I got to try on and learn the back story and I love it!!! The skyline Chrono is perfect on a larger wrist and I want one!!! Exciting year for me next year as BC 270 and Zenith 160 anniversary… Keep up the great work Britt 🎉

Yeah but most Patek watches comes with leather straps. The watch may survive the 30 meters but the strap won’t, and being Patek I don’t think they will be cheap to replace. Patek needs to make more comfortable bracelets. I for one don’t waste money on leather straps. I like to use my watches, and leather doesn’t last very long.

Thank you for the episode, and I am excited for patek to be more water resistant

Love your videos. You freaking rock. Congratulations on your baby. I never knew I could love anyone this much until I had a child.

0:20 Is that a Chronomat ripoff? Lol 2:33 Is that a deadbeat seconds tourbillion? 10:43 I think this is mostly a miscommunication, which was largely created by the watch industry conveying water resistance in the most unintuitive way possible. It also is confusing that you’re treating the water resistance in meters literally, but in the next sentence treating it like how we‘gs been conditioned to understand it

Lovely watches; but the Monochrome GMT with the green hand is stunning! I’m building a Seiko Mod GMT homage, but with a blue hand and GMT lettering.

Zenith had some interesting releases. The Defy Revival diver is a cool watch. The extreme diver they offered, for what it is, it’s unique and well thought out. The Skyline chronograph, while I doubt the world needs another integrated sports watch release, it was missing from the line, also well executed. I do t gravitate towards white dials, the white disk version looks particularly good. Had they released the Triple Calendar El Primero now rather than a couple months ago, it would have made a bigger splash. My biggest disappointment from them is failing to refresh their Elite dress watches. Zenith, I think their releases were too quirky to make the best of list, but definitely worth a notable mention.. The Defy Revivals - once you learn how to look at them, they are very fine watches.

Yay! & a day early, love a non watch sponser too. Wanna see that Chrono for Bremont but.......yeah

Why nobody mentions Panerai? Not you Britt, not Nico, not Teddy…

Vacheron OOF!! Must get my hands on them!! ❤

9:39 of course. They are the most prominent watchmaker in the world. Can’t help but notice this year lots of people hating on Rolex for bringing out the 44mm gold deep-sea. probably the same people hating on the 44mm yacht master 2 (known colloquially as the “clown master”). Well, Rolex discontinued the yacht master 2 in lieu of that new gold deep Sea. Definitely a cleaner and classier 44mm for large men who require a large watch.

Been low-key eying Tudor for a couple years now. The new Black Bay 58 GMT Coke has sparked my interest in a very concrete way. The looks and specs are perfect for my liking, especially the size!

Totally agree about Bremont; always liked their aviation inspired watches (I have one0, but the new logo is meh (at best!), and I don't know what they're about any more. It's so generic now. As it stands I'm not attracted to any of their products.

The Rewind is so awesome. It's baller to spend $38,000 on any watch. It's even more baller to spend that much money on a watch with a backwards dial. Love interesting watches like this

I've replayed several times your facial expressions when talking about the VC Green Dial Overseas!! I almost want to rush out and buy one. (almost!!)

No mention of the dual time Cartier? To me that was their stand out piece and hopefully something that is in my collection soon!

That Grand seiko looks so GOOD in the skeleton too! It just makes it more GRAND! and!! the VC pocket watch (is that a pocket watch?) just looks so good! I would love to have that instead of wrist watches, cause that looks beautiful and unique. Sometimes I feel like getting one but I end up buying a wrist watch😂 I remember even Tissot had pocket watches like 10 years ago like even I was 7 at that time and it made me wonder why are they making pocket watches when the trend's gone? BUT! now I know there are people who even have this taste including me😅. It's kinda funny and cool that they are still being made... Thanks for the AMAZING video WATCH GRINGA!

Last time you said no more W&W videos 😂

Rolex did do great this, so they are not losers !

Too much precious metal for us the classic humans 😊 but IWC, JLC and Cartier lunched some really great watches. The mono poussoir in steel would have been a fabulous hit !

Great point about Rolex not hoarding all the attention due to their less than exciting releases. Haven’t heard anyone else make that point. 👍🏻

I really like the platinum 1908 🥺

Rolex own Tudor, and Tudor seems to be filling the gaps in what users want from GMT and Pepsi styling . Maybe rolex focus has changed to a more luxury focus with Tudor covering the lower end.

The gold sea dweller is receiving the same hate that the rainbow Daytona did, and now it's a classic that no one can get. It's not in the same league of course, but it's an amazing over the top but at the same classic watch

We loves ya, and have a great time with the coming baby! If Grand Seiko is homaging you, you know you did something truly great, meaning my winner for this year was Tandorio! OH, and I wish Glycine would reissue their classic Airman Purist 24 hour calibre/dial models in at least 50 meter resistance and a larger crown, that sticks out further like the Contemporary, so it is not blocked by the bezel crown 😀

Bahaha it really isn't! But I absolutely LOVE the BB58! It's just a bit of a crowd pleaser - but definitely still not for everyone

Seiko (Grand Seiko) proves there’s always something new to do with mechanical movements. The Duometre makes me wish I had a spare $168K lying around - it looks “bad ass”! The red-dialed reverse Santos is the first Santos that I really like. I like Rolex but a diamond-bezel Daytona?!! I sold my Calatrava because it was an Aqua-Not! Is Bremont the new Tag-Heuer?!!

The new BB58 GMT is now the watch it should always have been in the first place (even if it has gilt hands 😫). I can’t bring myself to feel grateful to Tudor for finally fixing its own original egregious slab-sided error. About ruddy time! 😅

Tudor 18k has hollowed links in the bracelet to save costs but still around 30k, makes very little sense

That is exactly what patek has said, the sports watches have more than 30m, but just say 30m for the sake of uniformity. They didn’t change any of the contruction

Bremont are absolutely torching their brand! They are losing all their existing fans and only offer very generic uninspired copycat-style watches with very cheap new logo. Possibly the worst rebranding in the history. I really hope they do see it as a failed experiment and backtrack a little. The new field watch is quite handsome and only really spoilt by the cheap nasty logo & font. It would be more faithful to the Bremont journey and more appealing (IMO) if the watches had a more elegant logo and were using Bremonts new movement and had "Made in England" on the dial. I acknowledge that would probably add $1000 to the price

Agree with Bremont take. I’m not a huge fan but I do like the lineup (just a bit over priced IMO). But this new Tera Nova is horrible. Sorry but it’s a dog with fleas. They need to go back to their chronographs and divers/GMTs that made them. And lower the price a tad!

I love the Bremont watches which marry with the traditional British expectations - high quality, reserved, stylish and timeliness and highly priced. Their dress watches can be incredibly (especially on wrist), but they seem to not be the future of the brand which is worrying. If I had the money I’d buy a Victory tomorrow though.

BP. Commenting from London. T4YC. 1. Love the Cartier Rewind but $38K. 2. Rolex; the story was the non cancellation of the Pepsi. I blame the watch dealers who YT. One billion percent!!! 3. Bremont; the range WAS mixed and confused. Now it's more focused but the Stone Island logo???

Britt, would you be interested in featuring a writer on your blog? I have lots of writing experience and am looking to break into watch journalism.

This year's Rolex definitely felt like they are trying to move more luxury than sport. A lot of precious metal, a new dress watch variant, Daytona's with luxury materials, discontinuation of the Yachtmaster II. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a perpetual calendar in the near future, or other high horology models.

I love seeing unattainable watches for me. Cheap entertainment. Your video the other day about the Seiko gmt peaked my interest. Have you ever thought about doing a Hamilton or Citizen video? I still have my grandpas Rolex Submariner he bought for the princely sum of $150 back in the lat 60’s. I keep it to hand down , but I really don’t get the attraction. Adjusted for inflation , new Subs should be around 3k. You’re just paying for hype and FOMO. I would much rather have different Seikos. I still love the channel. It’s one of 2 I watch (punny😂) regularly. Keep up the good work, gringa 😎

(Upopoular opinion?) Id take the full gold deepsea over the full gold tudor if I had the choice. Something lovely about the Rolex and something off abour the black bay to me

Hublot Orange Unico. Hope no one thinks this so it can be had in secondary market at 50%+ discount.

Wasn't the video the other day supposed to be the last w&w one?

I have no idea why Tudor still make that BB 41 with over 13mm thickness, the gmt movement is more complex , thinner case and SAME level of water resistant . All that because of …. Rolex ?

I hope the BB58 GMT is a success for Tudor, because I’d love to see more colorways down the line, but it’s definitely not for me. I had a blue bezel Black Bay partly because I just don’t get on with gilt dials. So I definitely won’t be trading my Diet Pepsi in on the Caffeine Free Coke Zero (black, red, and gold, look at the packaging), but then again, I have a wrist big enough that the extra size of the Diet Pepsi isn’t an issue. I would love it to be thinner, but I can manage. Nothing at W&W has really gotten me going except the Zenith Defy Skyline Chrono. I feel like it’s the best alternative to a Royal Oak chrono, which is, sadly, far out of reach for me. $13,400 is a bit steep for a steel chronograph that doesn’t have a name like Daytona, but if they dip below $9,000 on the gray market, that becomes very tempting. Only question left would be black or blue.

Loved the VC retrograde date (which is stunning on the blue Overseas moonphase retrograde date too - the most beautiful Overseas imho). Meh about Tudor which is a bit too much of a vintage replica department of Rolex.

You didn’t really explain why you feel that way with bremont. What is it about the new releases you didn’t enjoy?

I wish the screws on the santos were lined up... Who's with me?

Surprised IWC didn't get a mention - while I'm certain the Eternal Calendar will need service at least once before the 45 million year moonphase needs to be adjusted, credit to them for being so extra. The new horizon blue Portugiesers look slick, too. The Santos Rewind is a cheap gimmick (it's been done before, it'll be done again). Tudor stole the show (I got a Zulu Time a few months ago so the GMT, slick as it is, is not for me). Everyone kept saying how the platinum Rolex 1908 was such a hit, but it remains to be seen how many people shopping that price point for a slim, precious metal time-only watch will want the same logo as the Brolex crowd.

I had a Vostok run backwards for three whole weeks and that was 60 bucks.

1908 for me. It’s a sexy piece. I was hoping for a Rolex Coke, the Tudor is just a tad underwhelming and the gilt touches are just too try hard. Last year’s show had more fizz. This year the champagne was served warm and flat. But, hey, warm flat champagne is better than tap water. Just.

At 11:00 there can a little debate about static vs dynamic pressure (unironically we had this debate at my science class in uni because my professor was also a watch enthusiast!). And if i understand correctly 30m wr = 3bar resistance. If we had a watch that breaks exactly at 3 bars i wouldn't take it for 30m dive because at 30m there is actually 4 bars of static pressure (one from the surface air + 3 from water above you) plus water movement generates dynamic pressure. But hey, i'm yet to see anyone using their dive watch as a dive watch, simply because diving computer does everything better. I take my watch for occasional diving (AOWD, i'm not a pro by any mean) but more like for luls, not as a tool. And according to google, pressure car washer is around 110-160 bar, so even doxa sub 1500t/rolex sea-dweller might give up lol. So here i said it, if you wash your car with those pressure thingies your lifestyle requires that new rolex deep sea. And don't wash your car in a patek, please, lol.

What about Zenith? What do you think about their new watches? For me, they’re the winners!
