Bob FromBrisbane The newer version has solid gold links thus it's quite substantially more expensive than its pre ceramic counterpart. Would still make for an interesting video though.

That monocoque case, and the watch assembled all from the front, really something special. The case measures 44mm but the bezel only 42mm so people often report it wears smaller than other 44mm Seiko's. Bit of a grail for me, and will 100% own one at some point.

Buying watches is all about impressing ourselves. Because most of the time the watch is half hidden in your sleeve. You got those watches because of love or earning something. But yeah, some watches exist to scream "NOTICE ME!"

Loving your new collaborations with Jon! The chemistry that you lads have is hard to beat! Keep at it TGV! Cheers, Joshua

The MM300 is one of those watches that makes you go "How was my Explorer three times more expensive?!"... The brushed hands with polished edges, hand applied lume, and the hand assembled (allegedly) 8L35... AMAZING watch. I don't love the bracelet so I put mine on a black Isofrane for that modern-retro look. If you have a chance to try it on rubber I think it makes the watch truly shine, and nearly impossible to beat in its price category. Its a little top heavy on NATO but I still do it ;). Great Video!

I have owned a 16613 2 tone Sub for almost 20 years. I was a grail for me back then and I still cherish is as much now. I know it's kind of and overused phrase, but it looks great with jeans or a suit. It's the watch you take on vacation; perfect for the pool or formal dinner. And I never tire of looking at that blue dial. Great job, Gents. Love the chemistry and the way you guys play off each other. Keep up the great work.

Thank you Scott, love the 1060 too, I almost bought one myself. Best regards, TGV

The Seiko works so well on him. I can totally see him falling for it lol. Looks very down to business and it doesn't get much more "tool watch" than that. And I'm always saying that more full-body images should be present on r/Watches and other watch forums. So many people ask "is my watch too big" and post an image of just their wrist. But the entire build of the person is how it should be determined. As a fellow Italian (well not all Italian, but I seem to have gotten all the Italian genes lol!) with a similar build, seeing the Seiko on GCR's wrist made me want it too! As far as two-tone Subs, love them! Blue and gold just screams navigation/ocean to me. And it was stunning to see it next to the Seiko as well. The Seiko looks like (and IS) a tool for real divers. And then you have a two-tone Sub that looks very oceanic, but isn't really practical at all. It says something that you two even laughed at it when thinking about it being used as a real diving watch - because in all seriousness, it'd absolutely be a bit ridiculous. Had me cracking up about diving into champagne lol. So while I like them, they're almost all aesthetic. They remind me of water and boats, but don't actually belong in the ocean. I could see someone on a yacht wearing one, relaxing on the deck. Then taking it off, putting the Seiko on, and jumping into the water. If you're into boating, sea-life, sailing, etc. then the two-tone Sub is the way to go. But if you're going to want something tough, rugged, and for actual diving, get the Seiko or a normal Sub. Also, I think you said it perfectly with, "It's tastefully done flashy-ness." That's honestly the best way anyone could describe the two-tone Sub. Completely not in-your-face, but also definitely not subtle either. Just clean, classy, and luxurious. It knows what it is and isn't afraid to let people know about it.

Hey TGV, Great great content! That Marine Master is soooooo beautiful! Cheers!

Just picked up an early 2000s used no date submariner after watching your videos. Hard choice between that and the omega PO but I am happy with the sub.

The ceramic version of that sub is absolutely my grail of grails. I tried one on recently and it is in my opinion, the most gorgeous watch I've ever seen.

As always a good show, Tristano! And my thought on the two-tone Rolex is: to each his own. Keep up the good work, sir!

Great vid as always but some soft furnishings to dampen reverberation and tone down the Daz-white background would make it even better ;)

OMG this is so great you guys freak out over watches just like I freak out also

Love that show!

After much thought I bought the Seiko MM300 partially base on this video. Thanks.

The MM300 adjustable clasp came before the rolexs glidelock. The MM's bezel is lacquer.

this is what many Rolex fanboys don't realise when they accuse the mm300 of being a submariner copy. Granted that the bezel of the sbdx001 is not ceramic, Seiko had the glossy bezel and large round hour markers since 2000-01 way before Rolex had those.

it's such a delight to see you both or other of your friends doing videos with you tgv. brilliant and hilarious! such madness but beautiful to see. hope next vid it'll be your wife talkin bout watches and cuisines. just a suggestion anyways. more power and success to you sir😉✌

I was wondering when the MM300 would pay a visit.. That watch is dying for a TGV Review!! Great Stuff!! BMJ ENGLAND

Never really post comments for youtube but just want to say how much I appreciate your videos. Been looking for a hobby and your videos inspired me to get into watches. Your videos are super informative and is pure class! Keep up the good work!

I remember eating at a posh cafe in Bucharest once and the owner came to us and was very helpful and nice. When he sat at the table next to us I remember seeing his two tone blue ceramic updated Rolex submariner. Maaaan it was gorgeous....absolutely stunning to look at. The new Tudor two tone has a bit of that look for a lot less money

Have you had any experience with mondaine watches. I've been interested in getting one of their automatics. I love the design of their watches.

Like two boys in a candy store, love the Seiko. So clean. Curious about the rest of the days ventures. Don't wait too long. Nice job gents.

When you guys do the full review of the MM300, please look into one issue that I've been trying to find clarity on: some watch makers have urged caution over what they've found to be a weak or just poorly executed stem and crown. This is very surprising, since a robust and reliable crown/stem configuration are really key to a true diver tool watch. Thanks guys! Excellent content, as always!!!!

when it said "test driving" a diver watch, I was expecting TGV to do a session in the middle of the Pacific. LOL still a good review, though

This Laurel and Hardy watch duo made my day ! Very impressed by the Marine Master. Another winning Seiko.

I just bought the Seiko Marine Master watch only because Gian Carlo is wearing it in the video! Gain Carlo is my idol!

Thanks a lot for the amazing videos TGV! Run into a two tone sub in black recently on street, it gives you a splash of gold in a very subtle way. In some light condition, it seems just like a SS sub. It might be a good choice for someone who want some gold but don't want the shout out loud all gold models. Great video! Thanks guys!

The Federico impression in the beginning was hilarious. I miss those videos. Too bad he had to go off and move to Miami! But great video as usual. And that Marinemaster is so beautiful.

Thanks TGV, another great show! I have mixed feelings about the gold, on the one hand it is visually and I'm sure handling it is nice change for a tool watch and some would argue that it is just showing off. However, lets not forget that gold that has been chilling at the bottom of the ocean since the Spanish inquisition is still doing just fine! So really for a dive watch is there a better material?! Thanks again. Avid watch lover and truly enjoy your down to earth discourse. Jacob

mind if I ask whats the name of the song played in the intro ?

Love these episodes with you and Giancarlo! Lots of interesting discussion and nice to get a second opinion on things. Still miss Federico though. Any collaberations with Federico in the foreseable future? Sir Dog

Anyone know where the intro music is from? I'm sure I've heard it somewhere...

Excellent video my friend! Love the collabs! I have a suggestion I've been wanting to share for a while. What is a good/the best mid-range chrono? It really is a tough one isn't it? How about making a video on that? Best regards, fm

I always had it in my head that I didn't like the two-tone sub, but seeing it on the wrist, it actually looks phenomenal!

I happened to owned the exact 2 tones sub you reviewed. Got it way before the ceramic subs are out. As I already owned quite a few tooly dive watches, I wanted to try the 2 tones for a more dressier, abit of flash diver sport watch. Comparing it to the new sub, I like the size and the blue dial. The new 2 tones blue is darker, size wear bigger due to beefer lugs. For that, I am happy to give up the newer movement, ceramic bezel, glide lock features. Great video!

Hi TGV I know you love your seikos have you ever seen the skz211 aka the land shark? I've got the mm300, sumo, skx, baby tuna and lots of others but when I put on the land shark it always puts a smile on my face.

What do yo think about Jack Mason watches?

I have the 14060M two liner and I was able to install a Ginault Ocean rover bracelet which has the glidelock function and I can honestly say its the best combo between old and new. I absolutely love it and would highly recommend it for anyone who likes the size proportions of the pre ceramic subs but love the gridlock feature of the new submariners. Also the Ginault bracelet even fits my GMT ref 16710. The bracelet alone is worth purchasing a Ginault watch IMHO.
