Dropping is definitely a no no as far as magnetism I don’t see this as a problem unless you work at a hospital around MRI machines. Normal magnets or computers aren’t much risk I have never magnetized any of my watches over the last 10 or so years I have been collecting. For over winding most modern watches do not allow this as they have a stop to over wind but for vintage it could be a problem. For water damage over 100m and your good unless your scuba Steve

Was surfing with my daughter and pushing her into waves. She caught a wave and as she sped away, her leash caught perfectly on my Omega Planet Ocean and snapped it off my wrist. Three hours later of diving to the bottom over and over again to look for it, I finally had to give up. Still pains me to think of it. I loved that watch!

As Forrest would say,” stupid is as stupid does!”

I think a good rule to go with is just don't take your watch off in random places (public restrooms, at a friends place, basically anywhere that isn't beside your bed or to put in a safe). You can't lose your watch if it is simply on your wrist (the chances are really low for it to randomly pop off). Yeah someone could point a gun at you and take it but that's an entirely different discussion. Point of the matter is, you can't lose the watch if it's on your wrist like Adrian said. My mother told me this when she gifted me with my first rolex (submariner) when I graduated college. I've been wearing it for almost 5 years straight. Yeah it's scratched up but it's still on my wrist today.

I would like to add : do not take a shower with your watch, regardless of its water resistance. Soap and shampoo break the surface tension of the water, so it becomes much more capable of seeping into the smallests of openings. A seal capable of stopping pure water may fail on soapy water. Soap will deteriorate the silicone grease that has been applied to the seals.

that Grand Seiko gets me every time ❤

Your story about the Kermit just sank my heart….holy smokes, what a close call!! Glad the English Channel was kind to you and returned it!! Saludos from San Antonio!!

Love the idea for the content and you have really started editing them very well. You have an archive of footage and it’s great to see it all coming together. Keep it up (the good work on the channel, not putting your watches in the ocean. Can’t believe you did it for a second time...)

Just a note for anyone considering a railmaster based on antimagnetism. All Omega Master chronometers can withstand up to 15000 Gauss. The railmaster was a tool watch built for antimagnetism back in 1957. But all modern omegas boast that spec.

The railmaster is most heavily advertised as being anti-magnetic because of its heritage. But actually any Omega calibre 8400 & 8500 are equally anti-magnetic. That includes watches in the Aqua terra and Seamaster range of products.

Loved the story at the end and my heart sunk as you said the watch disappeared. It’s funny as I know you have the watch and haven’t lost it to the sea but it still sunk.

Oi - that story at the end raised my heartbeat, lol (and good of your wife too). As a certified watch nerd, I knew most of these things already, though not to the extent you mention. I knew it's not cool to set the date between those times, but I did not know that 6:30 was the safest time to do so. And also even though I'm aware of magnetism, I was not super conscious about common household appliances. I will not, of course put my 1940s vintage Omega on my HiFi Speakers. PS - really contemplating a 14270 (or a vintage black dial DJ)... It's tricky to find the Exp with lug holes. I can't find any currently. Thanks, mate.

Great advice. Still getting used to my seiko 5 sports 55 phantoms loving it but i do follow the time setting guidelines you pointed out. Just taking sometime getting used to it as other watch is a citizen eco drive and does not need wound

Nice video as always and I think the most common big neglect stupid mistake is not to service the watch when it should be.

Another GREAT video Adrian! Info is practical and appreciate you being vulnerable enough to re-tell your "don't be stupid" story. You had me on the edge of my seat wondering what happens next!

The foto of your explorer in the water still is one of your best though. Nice video. Cheers

thanks for the video. I had a good laugh (at your expense:) ). your wife is a brilliant person, first, to agree on an "expensive" watch collection (let's be honest, it can be a challenge, right?), second, to help you in a panic moment. Kudos Madame. I have seen tons of watch videos, and I can tell you I appreciate the quality and the tone you put in. Keep up the good work, Bravo!

Overall good video on do's and dont's. I guess a new don't for me is not to put a nato strap on a P01. The hybrid strap is purposefully built. Just not a fan of brown suede. Looks like i will have to put it back

Love that story about the Kermit! My heart was in my mouth the whole time! Nice to know I’m not alone in being a pillock occasionally :D

I totally connect with the wave shot story. It's kinda my thing to 'baptize' my new dive watches with a wave shot and yep they've been sucked into the sea plenty of times. I've retrieved them all though and don't seem to learn. Maybe I'm just doubly stupid. 🤣

I think it's how hard you hit the end of your manual wind watch. With my Speedy, I wind it every other day and wind it till it reaches the end of its wind as recommended by Omega. I can feel when it's reaching that point (and also count the winds) and slow down and approach the end with care till I gently nudge the end of the winding action.

I wore my (previous) Explorer II whilst swimming when swimming off a beach in Hope Bay, Jamaica, and regularly whilst having saunas. I've been in saunas with my current Explorer I. No issues at all in any of those situations.

Hi, I want to start a watch collection. Always love watches but never got the chance to start but I do now. I've seen a few I like but want some advice on where to start if you can

I have had to deal with watches i thought were magnetized and iam away awear of magnetism, but this video has made me wonder whether lights or in my case one of those ones you just touch to turn on can affect your watch?

Great video. Just a silly question. Is there any issue if I change the date at 10 p.m., for instance, using the quick mode but the watch just stopped naturally in that time? or should I change the hour manualy until surpass 3 a.m., and then apply the quick change? Sorry if I can not express the idea clearly, I´m not english speaker. Thank you!

I once dropped my Daytona face down on a ceramic floor from about four feet.......my heart stopped, but luckily no damage done. I absolutely LOVE the last two shots of your Explorer!

Shock destroyed one of my autos (cheap, though) - riding a motorcycle across australia. But live and learn...I do think about shock when looking at things like applied versus printed indices and logos, as well as the movement.

Had fun with one of my watches I wore in the sea I didn't realise the the pins had rusted until I tried to change the strap so I always make sure I give it a good clean with fresh water after using it in the sea

always different... i love the way storrytelling..

Love the Casio! Amazing value, require very minimal service.

Enjoyed sitting in a jacuzzi with my Omega 300SMP. Didn’t check the helium escape valve 🤦‍♂️. Long story short: $1200 and 6 months later Omega was able to fix my electric ⚡️ blue lovely and I literally got a brave new watch. I tighten my crowns etc weekly now and more.

So a question that I don’t know the answer to. When flying, should I take of my Omega Seamaster 300 and have scanned, or wear it through the body scanner?

Even though this appeared a year late in my feed, it's great advice! I always use my G-Shock GG-1000-1A3DR when trekking and mountaineering and a cheaper Seiko diving. My good watches I keep safe. Did have one scare, we were checking out furniture and a slightly bent spring bar (I had meant to change it) on my Seamaster popped off and fell behind the cushion of a couch. Only noticed it was missing later. We were still in the store, and blessings on my daughter, she went straight to the couch and there it was!! Phewwwww!! She got a well deserved new laptop that Christmas!!

Where was this video 30 years ago 😂...I would add if you have a vintage watch, it doesn't matter what the depth rating is - keep it out of the water 😳(It took me a couple of times to learn that lesson😔) This is fantastic Adrian - informative and entertaining as always 😊👍

Real gud one!!!

Adrian! Do you have an opinion about the everest pŕs 25?

I managed to magnetize my watch some weeks ago, it went from +2s/day to +7. A bit annoying. If I have the tool demagnetised, will it return to its former glory, or not quite?

That Railmaster is a good looking watch.

Quick tip for taking shots like that rolex shot. Fishing line attached to your leg and to the watch. Really easy to cut it out in post, (if you need to do that at all) and safe.

Brilliant as always..... can you tell us all where you’re planning on photographing your watches.... so we can follow on after you with a metal detector!!!

You make really cool videos ! To me the Seiko Turtles fit best into water. Especially the Save The Ocean versions. 🌊 🐟 🦈

Good video! It's bad that the information about the date change is not more carefully spread from dealers. Probably many owners of automatic watches are not aware of it. But why should I adjust the date at 06:30? I use to do it at 06:00. Does it really matter?

Watching this while wearing a 35 years Steel Square G. Feeling quite at ease... that being said... my Oris Flight Master is in the shop for a checkup after it started gaining over 1 min per day.

Omg thank you so much i didn't know i shouldn't drop my Rolex..
