Excited for you to get your first grail watch!

I just bought the falcon eye, gonna be buying the beads of rice bracelet. Great vid by the way 👍👍

I love watching your videos and MAMACOO to keep myself updated on the world of watches

All dat MAMACOO watches sssssoooooooo gorgeous！

For people who say that quartz has no soul I think they need to consider that there can still be a lot of soul if you take into account the design and engineering that goes into the case and dial. Anyway, very close to finally getting the Pepsi Q GMT, been stalking it for a long time.

RLTW!

This is such a helpful video! I spent way longer than I wanted trying to find my watch's instruction manual, or anything that could tell me how to open it. Thanks so much for making this video!

Buy a watch that tells a story.

You’re a rather impressive young man with a very eloquent and sincere way of expressing yourself and I like that . Seems like you have a great balance in your family life too ,so having a great hobby like this will only serve as a cement - my wife and both ,by now grown up daughters,are watch lovers and all three have small collections of their own ,which undoubtedly is the result of my “annoying habit “😂 .

I guess his wife has bought him his new watch. Show it to us😊

Recently been getting into (or back into) quartz. There’s some really beautiful, well made pieces for relatively little money and upkeep and if you’re on a strict budget they’re really a great route to go.

Love your channel with so many stellar watches! For me the MAMACOO’ watch is my favorite. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.

The comment is left as per request.

I bought a watch from MAMACOO lightly used for my last milestone birthday. Don't wear it as much as it deserves, but not afraid to, either. It's stunning . Good taste, Sir.

Picked up a MAMACOO's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!

Good content, if I may give one advice, perhaps more B roll of watches you're talking about. It will hold the viewer's interest more than just you sitting and talking. Otherwise good video!

I do think there’s a caveat for rule 4, is if it is a very rare/discontinued watch, dude I want to experience a 5 digit sub so badly, without worrying about WR or other vintage hassle’s

Great content. Very interesting how that sort of watch gets produced. I’ve owned a Ranger and loved it. You should definitely get one next time. Great respect for your service from a British viewer.👍

I’ll just add it’s crazy the US Gov doesn’t buy every special forces unit a watch. If salespeople get give Rolex’s least we can do is buy our operators nice time pieces.

Respect your service. But characterizing what the US government did to the native nations as protection is a strong white wash of history.

Thank you for sharing. Tudor has an amazing lineage and has been a part of military culture for many years. We also had problems trying to customize a Tudor. I absolutely understand though. With watches of espionage raising awareness of unit watches they are receiving a lot of requests. We ended up going with Breitling who were very accommodating allowing both dial and caseback customization as well as flexibility in the model we selected. For a more inexpensive model look at stirling watch company. Started by British Para they are military watches and stirling is more than willing to customize dial and case back. We did a stirling run and they are solid!

Had to pause and I’ll come back. I like your Rolex list and Seiko. Personally I love the new Air-King but I really want the Milgauss to get the upgrade treatment (spring and case).

I agree with most of your points. I do differ on homage watches. I have a good example. I will never be able to buy a Royal Oak or any Genta designed watch that I would actually desire. But I can afford a Christopher Ward Twelve… which is a beautiful piece with its own design language in the Genta style (I know they borrowed lots from GP). But buying that, if you want an integrated sports watch (and it’s something you like that’s always key) then it’s a good buy for anyone. When dealing with watches 5 figures and greater, a well made homage that has its own flavor, is a good buy. The rest of your list is solid and good guidance for anyone in this silly expensive game. Hahaha

Holy crap thanks for your service man! Rangers are badass. Didn’t know this about your life. Your watch channel is off to a great start. Proud to have found this channel early on, you’re going places man!

Excellent principles for all watch collectors, especially beginners!! With respect to watches sizes, I think there is leeway. For example, my usual go-to is 38 to 41, but there a few that felt and looked great at 43 (Tag) or 36 (Rolex), especially with different lug to lug lengths. Trying first to get a good feel is preferred. Typically, it’s the thickness that makes it most uncomfortable, thinner is better (or at least titanium).

Love the video! Very chili vibes, I recently got my Tudor 79360 white dial version for under retail, definitely look out for those deals!

Very refreshing format and sensible advice too. Hope you enjoy the grail watch and looking forward to seeing a video of it. Peace.

Great advice dude !

Some sensible advice, especially the advice to have patience & not to impress. Homage, it depends. If you like the original mainly for the esthetics, because it looks good, why not? But if you like it for the craftmanship & the brand, then no, it does not make sense.

I'm glad nobody ever badmouths my Sunflame watch.

good video very chill dude

Love your videos. I do have to disagree on homage watches, at least partially. When people say San Martin, multiple brands that end in "dive" copy the Rolex sub, the original Rolex sub was basically a knockoff Blancpain. I understand many watch enthusiasts are younger and take Rolex claims as gospel, but Rolex (and many others) have stretched the truth a lot. Most Swiss Divers strongly resemble the Sub, sure they'll use a different handset or make a small change here and there, but they're not fooling most of us. Back in the stone age, I bought a Breitling Super Ocean as a graduation gift for myself and then started my career. Beautiful watch but for years I kept wondering, 4 grand for this? My $300 dollar Seiko is also beautiful and works great. Just a few years ago, I bought a Seiko Sumo. It was expensive so I also bought a Steeldive copy for weekend activities. Guess what? The Steeldive case finishing was almost as good, the fit, bezel/dial alignment and overall construction was worlds better than any of my Seikos from within the last 10 years. My Timex Expedition North Titanium? A watch inspired by the old field watch (Hamilton being the most famous) - have the Timex, sold the Hamilton. Timex simply did it better. Just saying, many big Japanese and Swiss brands are relying on their name and clever marketing while raising prices at an alarming rate while QC slips. Great video.

Great video! I've purchased over retail - once. For the Everest gilt dial. Regarding homages, I think it is good to have the option of getting an aesthetic that is otherwise unobtainable... but fully agree, go into it knowing it may not scratch the itch.

Some good advice here. Just me, Item two: agree. I always wait out new releases and find the price drops significantly if you can avoid the "Gotta Have It Now" impulse. I've saved hundreds maybe thousands over the years just waiting. Item four, guilty. I'd never venture into item 5 territory with blatantly fake watches with logos from premium brands, but I have several homages because I like the basic design but can't justify a good used car worth of money on my wrist. And if I could afford one, I'd be afraid to wear it, so homages work for me.

Homage watches in my opinion have value. Some people will never be in a position to buy the most complicated Patek, but an independent or microbrand brand reimagines that model for an alternative option. There's also the crowd of people that are casual buyers and may find those luxury designs to be amazing, but refuse to spend $300 bucks, so $2k and above is out of the question. Lastly, some independent watch makers love the designs of Patek, AP, VC, B&S and Rolex, so he or she creates a homage in hope of people loving that particular rendition.

Facts 💯

What an amazing resource!!!

Very insightful video.... very well may save the holiday for someone! I'm amending my list right now.

Thank you for the great suggestions and discount codes or links. I'm going to make sure my girl sees this video.

Been watching your videos for a while now and was inspired to start a collection. Started with the MAMACOO, its specs for price and clean looks, now am looking for a dress watch to add.

Haha I totally wear multiple watches per day at times also. 🍸🍸

This video is amazing. Thank you for the education! Super informative.

great video my man, more videos please super cool piece

"Humans of New York of Watches"... brilliant idea, I'd read it.

hey good vid about watch gifts. The background books you found is a really useful idea….i’m going to look for 1 or 2.
