Congratulations Mike I’ve been following your channel and got to say Mr Mike love your opinions! By the way tough you’re born in Germany or Netherlands 😂! Africander mate ! Keep up with your good work!

I don't understand the enjoyment ppl get from Nico. I enjoyed his first 2 tierlists, but at this point, all I can see from him is calculated provocation and teasing to fish for virality and attention of famous ppl on the internet. He saw what works with influencers and "experts" on the internet when it comes to other sectors of lifestyle matters/- commodities and has brought it to the watch world. I mean, I can't say it doesn't work, I'm just stunned ppl don't get tired of him

👏 I did. The partnerships with some dodgy outfits was the last nail in the coffin. He’s a loudmouth overweight drunk - I hope he gets help. He’s lucky he hasn’t been arrested in DXB for his inability to not swear. And memorizing ref numbers doesn’t make him an expert. He’s an expert at selling watches to people w too much money at silly prices.

Yes. The host here is too polite, he doesn't like controversial situations. But Nico is nowhere near to entertainment: He is the embodiment of provocation, agressiveness, vulgarity and fakeness in the watch world, just as Trump is the embodiment of vileness in politics. There are others that are very insulting, vain and arrogant, without being violent: The Time Teller and Federico are two examples. In general, for watches, I try reading books, serious magazines and websites, or i watch professional and respectful channels like this one. The democratization that came with platforms like youtube has a dark side, for sure, and influencers are mostly as bad as the plague, but a lot of smart people who didn't have a voice before can now express themselves in different platforms, which is extremely positive.

To give an idea of how much I value your work: I never watch your videos on PC, phone or tablet. I sit on my armachair and watch you on my large screen as I do for movies or good series. That's you and TGV only. Let me differ on a minor point. Quartz and other non mechanicals can be nostalgic and reminders of simple times too. I personally am fascinated by electrostatic and electric movements like Accutron ones. If I want to reconnect with my teenage years, all I need is an F91W or similar simple digital watch. Quartz has no planned obsolescence, and can last for a long time like my father's piece that I now treasure as much as his mechanical ones. Congratulations, your channel deserves to grow more and more.

I completely agree with you. A high-quality quartz watch brings back fond memories of my childhood in the 70s and 80s. While I do own two mechanical watches, my preference lies with quartz, and it's what I wear most often. In a world where new mechanical watches are released almost daily, I have a deep appreciation for a vintage quality quartz or a state-of-the-art quartz like a Grand Seiko or a The Citizen. I understand the allure of mechanical watches, but I feel a stronger sense of nostalgia for the era when accuracy and technology were paramount. Additionally, I have a fondness for super thin watches.

I love your videos just the way they are. Frankly, I don't even think you need a B-roll -- I just want to hear you talk about watches and watch brands.

The b-roll thing is also for me to put in some effort and challenge myself on the technical side of things. I quite enjoy the entire editing proces 😃😃

I didn’t care about watches when I was using them as tools that were given to me by my Air National Guard unit to use while flying C-130 missions. I used them until I broke them and asked for another. Now that I fly a desk more than an airplane I have fallen into the watch enthusiast rabbit hole. Much like your friend, it is a special event every morning when I put on my mechanical watch. I believe that as the world around us becomes more and more digital and screen based, the mechanical watch’s enchanting charm increases. I don’t need another screen to look at on my wrist.

The problem with 99% of watch "influencers" is that they dont give you any context on the watch. They all just spew their own opinions on a watch and move on, Nico infamously comes to mind. They are alot more akin to sports "hot take" personalities then credible reviewers. And the problem is these watch influencers are everywhere on social media. Very very few actually give you the history of that watch or brand. Or break down the movement inside or the thought process of the design. You are one of the few that do and I value that. At the end of the day, its about whatever watch makes you happy and you enjoy wearing. I have bought many watches that these "influencers" hate and I have loved them.

The wisdom shared on this channel is priceless. You answered several questions that I have been pondering about. I've often thought that there's a limited number of watches for me (think 3-piece collection). But that's just not realistic considering my interest in watches. Thanks for letting us all cut ourselves some slack.

I absolutely love your comment about nobody dictates what should be on your book shelf. Any troll commenting on the background of your video should be ignored, they are sad. The Mondaine clock, multiple flashy belongings in the background is for others, I like your style. Smart, and articulate...

The funny thing is that the #1 function of the Apple Watch isn't even telling time, it's the button that lets people locate where they left their iPhone. Why do I wear a mechanical watch? Because every day, I log into my computer, read emails, spend eight hours fiddling around with Excel spreadsheets, then to relax in the evening, I will read on my eBook reader, stream something, or play a game on my PC. I know this is entirely something that exists only in my own head, but I find something comforting in having something analogue, made entirely of gears and springs, on my wrist. It does one thing, and does it well, without an internet connection. It recharges when I wear it, and not when I put it down.

I do love my Seiko. The one I had when I was 12 still works today, and I've bought two more in the last couple years without hesitation. Good price points and honestly, I've never had any problems with them.

You changed the picture in the back from a jet to a biplane! It looks great! Seiko is loved because we all had one when we were younger. They have however priced themselves into a higher bracket and they rely heavily on brand heritage. When you see what you get for what you pay most Seiko's are a hard sell for me. Everything that's worth buying is also a limited edition and that sucks. If everything is limited, nothing is. Sorry got off on a tangent there haha! Awesome questions and great answers!

Sorry for asking you an ‘Impossible Question’ but, Thank you 🙏 for answering it! It’s true, you don’t learn anything from avoiding potential mistakes. Saving for ‘The Big Watch’ comes after years of buying cheaper Watches and gaining knowledge and experience in your journey through the hobby. Unless you’re very wealthy and can afford to make mistakes buying expensive Watches I guess? I guess my issue is I don’t like selling Watches so, I try not to make mistakes (despite making them like us all). I have tried to buy Watches I thought I would stick with but, have some I need to sell because I want to dip my feet into another genre of Watches. I think I’ve matured into the dress Watch genre now so, I’ll have to confront my hatred of selling Watches. Great points Mike and thanks again for answering.

That last line about something you own, enjoy, and wear says it all. Most of us have scaled back expectations.

So encourage watch folks to make beautiful and accessible products. A market exists

25k richly deserved! Thanks for confirming my identification of your accent. On a pension I cannot indulge in new purchases, and certainly not high-end ones, which is why I look to on-line auctions for affordable odd-balls - my favourite is a mechanical alarm watch of Russian origin commemorating 500 years since Columbus' voyage in 1492!

Side question if you see this, do watch brands have a lower tier that they sell at malls/outlets vs an AD? Context, was at an outlet mall and a store had all their Hamilton watches 1/2 off. They also offered Tissot and Rado at deep discounts. Made me think are all these just quartz versions of more popular models with say painted dial vs applied markers so it looks ok but its not the "real" version. Thanks again....next stop 50K!
