I've been wondering the whole time what you were actually talking about. If you want a diving watch because you're always diving 300m deep, then you buy a diving watch. But if you want to wear a Rolex that not every idiot wears, then you buy a Yachtmaster. That's it! If you like it, then you like it, if not, then you don't. Since I don't have to decompensate all the time, a bidirectional bezel is perfect for me because I need it every day to measure time. What idiot needs a clicking sound?

Great review Leo. I just bought mine after hunting it for a few years. I have it on leather for the moment but I'm oscillating between a jubilee and a president. Să-l porți cu plăcere, daca îl mai ai :))

U do realize that Squale used to make the cases for alot of Watch companies diver's in late 50s, then 60s and 70s(Rolex,Breitling,etc). They started making there own watches in the late 50s i think

I like the Barracuda, but i'm surely biased because i love the old 1016. People despise 'clomages' and oftentimes correctly, but i believe that long discontinued watches (or references, in this case) shouldn't be treated like that since the real ones are essentially unobtainable today anyway.
@CaptainAhab-im3kdАй бұрын
Face it, you cannot see that blue seconds hand. I like the earlier generation Platinum dial Yachty just as good, with its sand-blasted Platinum dial and red seconds hand. New is not necessarily better, because once you buy one of these things, it won't be long at all before it becomes "the previous model".
@hoidongbaocong4640Ай бұрын
Be real careful on that Yacht Master bezel. It can be scratched easily. I used to have the blue dial and I end up selling it. It costs a few hundreds dollars to repair. I really like the submariner bezel much better due to scratch resistant.

That watch would look so much better with a nice regular strap. Nato straps do absolutely nothing for the appearance of any watch, they always look too bulky and dominate the watch.

Islander watches came out with the Rangemaster a couple years back and it takes inspiration from the Rolex explorer, Tudor ranger, Seiko Sarb033, etc, it’s 38mm 100 meters wr, sapphire glass with AR coating, solid links with solid female end links, BGW9 superluminova and finally a Miyota 9039 Hi-beat automatic movement inside.

Very nice collection, Leo! That squared-off Zippo you have is really unique & cool. I have a couple Zippo lighters; one regular & one with a pipe lighter insert. I also have & use a Zippo hand-warmer when camping. Last year, we were camping in the ANF so we stopped in at the Zippo/Case Museum in Bradford. It was a cool place & I’d recommend it if you’re ever up this way! Did you fire up that Cohiba in the background?

Great vid. I like your approach comparing them on their own merits vs any sort of point system like some reviewers do. I do really like the patina of the WMT. Not sure I'd buy it as my only Explorer homage though, at least not that version. The Smiths is great as well. I like the Islander, esp if you prefer an 'inspired by' approach rather than a strong homage. I bought an 36mm Alpha for cheap and... it was OK, but just feels relatively cheap. It's fine on wrist but when handling it, it is pretty subpar. No Miyota stutter on mine. Then I got a Tisell a while back. I went for the 39mm. They are creeping up in price. Mine was $225 when I bought it. Some may say it is too derivative but it doesn't say 'Rolex' so I prefer to think of it as a very close homage. Great bracelet and clasp as well though I usually wear it on a grey vintage leather strap. It's a top five watch for me. Maybe top three.
