WOW!!! If this guy is not the epitome of a Rolex watch nerd I don't know who is! Yikes! I couldn't even make it through the first 5 minutes. The submariner is cliche anyways. Actually, all Rolex's are cliches.
i agree just take that horrid rubber band off it and put a propper leather strap on it
What happen to Nathan. Haven’t seen him after HODINKEE bought
You have got to appreciate these technical videos from C&C, informative and nicely done. It's too bad it has gone to the crapper since it got bought out by Hodinkee.
Breitling says it's only waterproof to 50m. You should correct that in your video.
As a watch enthusiast with over a dozen automatic and mechanical movements, I regularly wear a $20 Casio and have just purchased my first high end quartz watch. There are extreme benefits, and I am coming around to quartz actually being a superior mechanism...because technically it isn't even comparable. Quartz is king. Automatic and mechanical are beautiful and artistic, but simply not as technologically advanced.
So do you guys keep it running all the time or only when timing something??
The bottom pusher on my dayona wont push if it’s running.
Clear explanation, good animations, quiet delivery and no padding. Well done! .
Sorry, but nope. The 114060 with it's blocky case is visual perfection to me. But I have to say, that 50 hour power reserve is damn interesting and impressive.
Tell the IRS it’s a great tool lol
Tag Heuer is so underrated in watches. My Formula 1 watch I was purchased back in 2006 as a graduation watch. It still works to this day because you cannot go wrong. At the end of the day, they are good watches and affordable. If you want, you can go with an upgraded Carrera that will be my next one. I like the Formula one but the Carrera will be my next watch.
Please help and put both the Tudor GMT next to a Rolex GMT, both watches shown from the side, so we can see the difference in their thickness. Most Tudor GMT owners complain is that it is too thick. The Rolex GMT is 12mm thick, while the Tudor GMT is 14.6mm. So the Tudor GMT is 2.6mm thicker than a Rolex GMT. Thanks.
I don’t miss a day a week #mamacoo This show...
Guys sitting in an armchair next to whisky wearing a white lab coat, loafers and a baseball cap. This is very confusing.
When your parents walk in on you furiously winding your watch.
Mine keeps excellent time after 12 years and zero servicing.
Whoever thought of this was a legend 💯♥️
Almost a useless function. Simple math is a lot faster than messing with the crown
What are your thoughts on the 38mm Aqua Terra 8601 Annual Calendar (which is not a Master Chronometer)?
Use your smartphone. A hundredth of the price and far easier to use. Its also much more accurate and covers at least 10 timezones Smartphones, superlative chronometer!
Great video and watch choices!
How could you make a show about quartz without mentioning the company which invented the technology? I have seen this kind of partiality from the western culture to asian countries.
Did not get three time zone, nothing is pointing to 2200 hrs.
214270 MKII is the best Explorer ever released. That said, given the history of the Explorer line it makes sense why a lot of buyers would shop the 36mm, but I'm quite confident down the line the MKII is going to have a very serious following.
Benefits to a little problem (more friction) fixed by service of your watch every few years. At the cost of additional parts, more complicated movement, thicker movement, increased price and watchmakers must learn new mechanism. Im not sure its worth the hassle.
Really tired of hearing about the Rolex "Pepsi."
Use your watch how you like but I always heard the the purpose of gmt was to have the gmt hand on London time since they were designed for pilots
Good presentation and easy to understand. Keep up with the good work
After setting the three time zones, the GMT time is showing 23:00 not 22:00. Please explain
Little addendum to the compass part: It also works in the southern hemisphere but the gmt hand will point south instead.
So many reissues but you chose the most basic ones for status seekers
Great stuff! “Francaise,” though, is pronounced as frawn-sez.

Beautiful watch. Why couldn’t they make it more legible in low light conditions. It’s more like a Jewellery. Not for easy time telling
I love the elegant way Seiko decided to tackle this.
I hate Hodinkee for what they did to Crown and Caliber
super useful 😅
No tank basculante?
So helpful, thanks
Im gonna use this when i fly my Boeing 777-300ER (in MSFS)
This video is very informative even though I’ve forgotten how to use it already.
Just so everyone knows, There's a plastic seal on the antenna crown. If that's broken Breitling will void the warranty and likely bill you for a replacement antenna. so no touching the forbidden screwcap.
As accuracy is the most important thing for me in a timepiece, I’m pro-quartz.
I have the modern meteorite version with the blue face. In other videos, everyone dumps on it but I love it. Hear that it’s very popular in Asia, just not here.
Hi! Congratulations. What you think about Heuer WS2112 re-edition?
I use mine after pouring hot water over coffee grounds. Four minutes, push the plunger down and pour that delicious caffeinated beverage…
Thanks for the video. Are all mechanical watches wound in the same direction?
Love Tag! Great watch!
