It's stunning and arguably Rolex's finest sports watch. It's nearer 38mm, while the 36mm is nearer 35mm and looks like a kids watch it's so dainty. I was fortunate enough to visit an AD in Macau of all places who had the Explorer 1 40mm in stock. No silly games or "due to unprecedented demand"... I bought it there and then. If you want to avoid the stupid AD games, go to small, but high volume tourist cities and visit ADs there. A portion of their stock will be allocated to walk ins, because of tourism. Also avoid ADs that are part of a large group like Watches of Switzerland if you want to avoid the famous games they play.

GMT is useful for people who travel or communicate with people in different time zones with regularity. Obviously if you don't do those things it's not going to be useful to you.

I don't own an analog watch, I only have gshocks, don't think you can beat them all things considered and for me a countdown timer with an audible alert is absolutely essential for timing things, I prefer to use a watch over a phone for telling the time, its just better and keeps me from getting distracted.
The best complications , if you really need one, are Date and/or GMT(if you travel a lot, have a family member or business in a 2nd country)
I would rate an annual calendar (if it had a date) as No. 1 😈
I'd rate GMT as the most useful complication imo.
There can’t be a better ambassador for “God Tier” brand - I bought 40 watches from this brand since October 2023 ! I like the AW-80 a little more than 81 (I don’t have either of these in my collection though)
I love the look of chronographs but I refuse to buy one. Because you’re right, there’s no functional application for me (or anyone in 2024). I lean more into gmt and dual time (also world time) and calendars. Maen makes cool Lille 36mm triple calendar that looks like a chrono. It has three dials to display month, day, date. I wish higher end makers would do the same. My next acquisition is likely to be a JLC triple calendar or dual time (Master Geographic). At least those complications have an application in my life.
Not sure it has a name. Telememo 30 perhaps?
I absolutely hate analog chronographs! I had one in a G-shick and it was useless, I could not measure time with it accurately. I much rather prefer a rotating bezel... But then I hate thick bezels so I just remember where the minute hand needs to end up when I am cooking. Good video.
The yellow was just a sticker on the rotor.
Hold my Beer.....
I cannot find my loupe but it looks a pretty good sticker 😃
@@wristopia4101 Some say it's a sticker others say it's painted!? On my only NH35 driven Invicta, two tone blue and steel I only have the standard TMI rotor. It was a massive disappointment when the watch arrived to find it came without the yellow rotor! That, of course has given me reason to collect further Invicta's with yellow rotors only.! 😄
@@markthomas741 I certainly would not want it painted on. High end/ high tech applied vinyl seems the best option to be a bright yellow. It looks well done to me. At least the same quality as the watch IMO.
model name of analog digital watch plz
Casio AW81D-2AV
I use my speedy chrono to time food on the grill about 3x per week. After being on my phone all day for work I like to put it away when I get home. Watch stopwatch is perfect.
Great to hear you love to grill too 😋 I do not want to rain on anyones BBQ, but I find other things just work much better. I do not like using phone either. If I am cooking with probes I need to use the app though. Countdown timer on my cheepy outdoor thing is my fave. I set Alexa indoors anyway too, as I can set multiple stages of the 'Smoke' by voice command all at once for reference.........or I just wing it lol. I am lucky enough to have multiple watches, so also love being able to enjoy wearing any watch while BBQ'ing. Summer vibes and all that ; )
Nobody uses a chronograph to time things.
What else would you use it for?
I mean you're not wrong but admittedly I've found my chronograph quite handy while doing lab work. Say if I wanted to open a valve for about 30 seconds, having that tactile feedback of the pusher is preferable over tapping a phone screen but at the same time it's not worth carrying around a dedicated stopwatch.
It wasn't until after I got my first chronograph that I realized the subdials are too small for me to read down to individual minutes. In five minute intervals I'm okay but otherwise forget it.
GMT is another dubious "feature". I suspect analog chronograph watches wouldn't be nearly as popular had it not been for the Rolex Daytona.
GMT is useful for people who travel or communicate with people in different time zones with regularity. Obviously if you don't do those things it's not going to be useful to you. Most people are better served with a timing bezel to time things than with a chronograph, but if you happen to want to time very short periods of time or very long periods of time you kind of need a chronograph.
The Daytona is certainly the King of Chronographs IMO, but think the genre would still be a watch guy thing without it. Zenith 10th second would be more respected if they beefed up the case/bracelet. Tag Chronos are also in a world of their own.
I can not fault you.
Thanks for the back up ; ) Its been bugging me for ages 😂
What a whoppa I love it! 🤣🤣
Whoppa™ Love it!
I liked this one for a while. But during the wait list i really started to dislike it, so a wait period was fortunate for me. Much prefer my Tactical frog FX. Originality be damned.
Great to hear you found something you love more ; ) Will check that out. I now have the steel blue/orange Khuraburi which I prefer, but the duck egg blue lume and yellow tip seconds hand is so good on the Ti's white dial.
@@wristopia4101 Yeah you should definitely check it out. It has some similarities. Both titanium cases and bold designs (for example the indices on the Frog are larger than the Tudor it is homaging). But i prefer the matte ceramic bezel insert over the shiny insert on the Helm.
@@wristopia4101 Yes you should definitely check it out. It has some similarities: both titanium cases and bold designs (for example the indices are larger on the Frog than on the Tudor FXD it's homaging). But i prefer the matte bezel insert over the shiny insert on the Helm.
I’m not sure if you’ve seen the bracelets from uncle straps. They have half links and other bracelets to choose from that are super nice.
Hi, I know of them but try to stick to OEM if possible, and I do not like the fake rivets anyway. I was looking into wether the historic non riveted Tudor bracelet fitted the BB, but did not see it through.
@@wristopia4101 I think the Ranger bracelet fits the bb58 but could be wrong.
I have a BB not BB58
@@wristopia4101 ahhh see I didn’t catch that bit🙈
와이파이 세팅 password는 공통인가요?
Hi, I did not need any specific password.
Any issues with the second hand coming off like the bluetooth version
Hi, it was the minute hand, but no issues with this one ; ) Did me a favour really because the WIFI one was not out then and its so much better. Also 'First Class Watches' were great about the return and it just gives me even more respect for them.
I think the Omega looks a bit more polished and interesting, the Rolex looks like a Seiko
I would love a Seiko that wore like a Deepsea 😈
Is this a quartz movement?
Yes, very electronic! Even more accurate than a standard quartz or the bluetooth version though.
Too big too thick. Mine are the sword hands SMPs from Omega.
Too big and thick for you do you mean? The SMP300 escapes being called too big, when another watch of the same size would be.
@wristopia4101 yes I went the Geneva boutique twice to try it on, ready to buy, until a little voice told me way too thick. I left. As for my SMPs, they have the older small escape valves. I don't like the new ones.
@@robynsjp Nice, I do love the SMP's lineage ; ) I'm assuming you mean the 300's? Have you tried a 600 Planet Ocean? The 43.5mm is my favourite watch, and its odd the smaller version is not in shops, yet was the size chosen for the Summer Blue!
@wristopia4101 My collection is vintage. My divers are support pieces for the beach, the pool, outside activities. So the 4 SMPs purchased at about 2K each do the job ! I don't think it makes sense to add a diver. My focus is on 1960s rare pieces.
Just got the gold bezel with the white dial.
✊
Hey, how'd these scratches get on the case?
I did not realise the composite vernier callipers were so dangerous lol. I am dailying it, not babying it (the Explorer) though thankfully. Its a lighter steel apparently too.
I’m so glad you are a watch channel not hating on Invicta like all the others I just got the Hydromax Automatic NH34 GMT like yours and I love it I hope your channel succeeds and grows as you’ve got great presence and interesting content All the best good sir
Thanks dude, and glad you love the watch. I try to keep it real and the only thing I hate on is hate. Friendly banter is ok though haha.
It linen has a vertical pattern.
I thought it was more horizontal which just gives it possible visual alignment issues. lovely watch though.
got the ultra deep 75th anni, with the limited edition dial. Its a great watch the smaller dial makes it look more useable and less invasive on the wrist.
Nice one ; ) I did not realise that the Ultra Deep SE was a smaller dial.
Terrible dude
If the Rolex was a Cameron blue dial, I'd go in that direction. With the black dial Rolex you have there, the Omega is the winner.
Hahaha lol, that's exactly why I wanted the Omega! I do love that the black dial Deepsea is just a bigger and badder Sea Dweller though 😈
rehaut looks a little deep ,cool clasp,the cronos version is 110 US on sale right now
Stop it! This has to be the last one!! Haha.
Thanks for the video. Cannot argue the looks!! It is a great looking watch.
Cheers, Yeah I love it!
That's actually pretty nice eh
Yeah, I am very pleased with it. Screwing crown back in is very sketchy though : (
