Thank you for watching! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
How to use the Alpinist's bezel:
1. Align the N marker at 12.
2. Repeat every time you look at your watch.
LOL. You know it!
Then look at the actual compass you brought.
Then pull out your smartphone
Classic😂
I think a telemeter has military application, to measure the distance from artillery explosions.
I will never get tired of seeing those zeppelin 100 year series ...
They are things of beauty.
I got Zeppelin Flatline open heat with blue dial, very affordable, simple Miyota movement, but looks gorgeous for a dress watch.
I just bought the Zeppelin 8680-3. Love the vintage look of it.
@@islandwatch love your channel.
I do so appreciate your "watch and learn" videos(also like the pun!)! Gives geezers like me an understanding of how various measurements on a watch work! Please continue to make more of these videos!
Got my snzh57 yesterday from LIW. I love it and now I'll be timing everything since I just learned how to use the bezel. Great video.
Very informative video Marc! I may pay more attention to timing between lightning and thunder since our home was struck by lightning back in July. We were very fortunate to not have had a fire! Half of our electrical outlets had to be replaced, but the house is still standing! Our solar power system apso had to be replaced. I am definitely paying more attention to lightning than I did in the past.
One of my favorite watch videos. Thanks Mark!
Best series ever. Thanks!
In the last two weeks, I have watched all 74 watch and learn videos you have posted. You have got me interested in watch collecting and restoring. I’m already looking forward to your next videos. I’ve checked out and saved your store, one day I hope to get to the point where I can put $300 into one of your islanders. I know watches a worth that much but I’ve never owned anything more than a $150 citizen. Which was the most expensive I’ve ever owned. I know that is a laugh to true collectors but we all have to start somewhere lol. Thank you again for very well done videos, and you keep it interesting.
I paid $50 for a timex from walmart and liked it more than the $25,000 big shot watch I tried on the luxury shop in Naples. lol.
Thank you so much for this excellent explanations. It opens me a new door to use my watch. Cheers. 👍👍👍
Hey Marc, thanks to your videos my wife just bought me a graf zeppelin 7680-1 that I've been looking at from your site a couple of days ago.
:)
Rock on!
I love the dual time. Hour tracking, time elapsed, second time zones, adding and subtracting time, plus it's convenient to look at and see time quickly. Love those bezels so much. I use the half tick marks to quickly see the time as well, if it's behind the dot it's the second markee, if it's after the dot it's the third marker. So if it's between the 12 and the 1 I know before the dot is :02, and after the dot it's :03! Idk if anybody uses this method.
I really love this kind of videos. Thank you for the e learning session:)
My pleasure!
I liked that Arista, Mark, but loved that Zeppelin! Great tutorial, thanks!
Thanks Marc. Great video. Just pulled the trigger on an Islander 19 -- and can't wait to try the bezel.
Thank you!
Thanks for the videos! Always cool to learn new things especially these days. keep up the great work!
Thank you
Excellent video, Mark! A one stop reference (I can never seem to remember the rules for compass bearings!) - about to slide into the slide rule bezel next and I know you have a whole video on that - I’ll be revisiting that one regularly when my Flighty arrives😁
You are a good teacher!
Excellent! As always. Thanks, today I learned something new.
Great, thank you.
Fascinating video especially the less common bezels. Thanks. Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video Marc, love the watches you included
Thanks for watching!
Very informative, Mark. Several things I didn't know. Many thanks!
Glad to hear it!
What a great educational video. Thank you.
Always great content for watch and learn.
I appreciate that!
Thanks Marc just learned something I needed for my ISL👌👌👌👌👌💯
The most informative watch video I've seen in ages. Thanks a bunch!
Wow, thanks!
Fascinating stuff, i can see me watching this a few times trying to grasp the maths lol .very educational content ,i almost felt i was back at school (not that long ago..Ahh hem😉) Nice piece sir.
Very helpful. Thanks
Awesome, I’m going to order one of those Aristo pulsometers for my mother in law!
That was wonderfully entertaining and educational, nice one thanks.
Great teaching methods and examples!
I love this episode of Watch & Learn.
Great, thank you.
very interesting! Now I finally learned how to use the pulsometer on my Girard Perregaux that I got as a gift 10 years ago
Very helpful. Thank you.
That was both fun and informative. I like the doctors watch. Unique indeed.
Thanks
Amazing video Mark as usual thank you
Glad!
Very cool video. Thanks.
I love the zeppelins great looking watch.
You and me both!
Great vid Marc! Thank you!!!!
Glad you liked it!
Great video,thanks!
Great, thanks Marc for the info.
You bet!
Great video.
One thing, you can use a 12-hour or 24-hour Bezel as a minute timer as well. It’s not ideal, but it can be done. You have to use the minute markers on the dial and compare it to the PIP on the Bezel, so you still have the ability to time up to 60 minutes.
Great tip!
Well done!
Awesome video! I´m happy to see the Citizen Nighthawk which i love! The other watches are more or less my wanted list ;-)
Glad you enjoyed!
Excellent video
Great Watch & Learn!
Awesome video!!!
Thanks!!
Great video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome video
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Oh the homeschooling use for the tachymeter- my life’s hell at the moment
Lol
Very cool! I want all those watches. haha. Great video.
Thank you.
Not a fan of the colour green , but that damasko looks great , and as always a very informative video , Thanks Mark
Thanks for watching!
LOL the tachymeter analogy with the child complaints is too funny
Thank you for video, i knew how to use all bezels, but watches are gorgeus :) btw: you can use divers bezel as compas bezel too.
Thanks for the tip!
"My child will complain 400 times an hour" too funny :o)
awesome!
I wish there was a competent, and honest watch repairman within an hour from me...
Love the look of those Zeppelins....wish they offered a 38-39mm version of this model.
Zeppelin needs to make smaller watches, agreed.
Storm is 1500m away! Great watch! But then again, you don't need a watch to tell you a storm is 1500m away. You look in the sky and say "Look at those big ####ing angry grey clouds coming our way!! 😂😂😂 Seriously though, that's a very informative and excellent video, just in the mood for a joke this morning!😜
Awesome! Informative! you missed the mechanical metronome watch from SEIKO
Sehr gut erklärt 👍
I have used a watch as a compass once, pre gps, I didn’t know if I was going north or south and I figured it out.
Really enjoyed that! And some lovely watches, that Seiko sure was pretty. And impressed by that Zeppelin, a watch I'm not very familiar with. Do you have other videos which feature them?
Sure do. Just search up the channel.
Brilliant Thank you. (:
You're very welcome!
You are also able to use a “count up” bezel as a count down, just subtract the minutes you want to be underwater, or timing a steak on the grill, and set the minute hand to that number. As time elapses, it will “count down” to how much time is left.
Any moveable bezel can be used to count up or down, you just have to use a little common sense when setting it.
Thanks for the feedback.
Hi, Mark. Great video again. What is the seiko model, white dial with compass?
Shout out for mentioning home schooling!
Cool vid! Thanks for sharing the knowledge. I guess you always do London as for the second time-zone because TGV rocks
Very true!
Oscar P.
Doesn’t TGV live in Philadelphia these days?
Luminox has a Bear Grylls watch with a pedometer. I would love to pick one up but they're pricy for quartz. You time how long it takes to walk a certain distance (100 feet?/30ish steps?) and the scale tells you your walking speed. Pretty neat for hiking
Thank you, Marc, for another watch nerd public service! Unfortunately, think regular consumption of "watch and learn" is making my head progressively pointier. At this rate, I'm going to have to ask for a gnome hat for Christmas......
That Zeppelin is gorgeous.
Thank you.
That rotating bezel sounds solid...
Yeah, super "ka-chunk"
LIW, Looking at getting a Citizen Skymaster-not the Blue Sky version. I notice that there is no tachymeter on the watch. I assume the slide rule is more versatile, particularly if you know the coversions you regularly use that are not on the watch.
Great looking watch. Do you plan on selling the Seiko Capt. Wilard (Green with black strap)?
Now I can explain to people (and my wife) why I need to wear 2 watches. The telemeter to find the distance to the storm and the slide rule to change km to miles
There you go!!!!
The Seiko SND399P has a non-rotating bezel with the compass points. Is it just for looks, or is there a way to use it without another compass?
Just saw a scale i've never seen before on the chapter ring of a dive watch: instead of 60 seconds for a full rotation, the scale is to 100. What is the practical use for that?
if you have a watch with a gmt hand set to solar noon, you can just point the gmt hand at the sun to find a pretty close representation of north-south at 6 and 12
Cool, thanks.
Excellent Marc, thank you. I hadn't seen that many scales before as most of mine are Diver's! Oh, I owned a Flight Master once, but had to sell it as my eyes are too old!!
any thoughts on non hackable dive watches? seems counter intuitive, but the citizen diver promaster (?) is non hackable but used by italian military? i could be way off but it seems like you should be in sync
SKX007 is non-hackable, arguably one of the best selling affordables. Personally, doesn't bother me.
I have a clock that shows two times. One I set to Zulu Time (GMT), and the other to local, GMT - 7 hours. use it for ham radio
Mark you have any after market bezel and bezel insert for kamasu?
Not yet.
very interesting...now we just need a bezel that works out how may hoodies you own
More than 5.
Please put links to the watches in the description.
I have a fossil blue. The bezel has a 30 and the opposite side 60 and on each of the sides of the, numbers, their are 13 notches or indents. How is that used.?
Hahaha! Timing the childrens' complaints for homeschooling! Well done, Marc, well done! 🍻
Hehe
what is the inner bezel with the 100 graduations for?
😎😎😎😎😎
:)
Is the islander duel time bezel bi-directional?
Nope
Saw your wall clock. I'm sure it's a quartz but has an automatic movement. Why can't they do that for quartz wristwatches? This is a real question for me.
What about a bezel with no numerals on it like Breitling makes on the superocean Heritage II? Why would they do that? How can that you can consider that usable for an actual diver which of course never gets used that way but you know what I mean. What's the big deal with at least putting a few of the reference numbers.? I mean, is there something I am missing or are they sacrificing that 100% for Symmetry and look?
I had a Poljot Pilot Chrono some time ago and it had a unidirectional bezel and the markings were 24 at the top and then it counted up from 13 (at the 1 o'clock position), 14 (at 2 o'clock), etc.
Still don't get the point of this
military time?
does the aplinist come on a bracelet ?
Yo Adrian you guys ship to Canada or what bud?
Yup
Is there a bezel to time the number of TH-cam watch channel videos I can cram in to my 2 hr late night viewing?
How does the bezel on a vintage Rolex milguass work? 6 hours. I can't work it out.
That's a good question. Let me research this one.
@@islandwatch Cheers!
I don't get 12h GMT watches. For me it's hard to also keep track of am/pm.
My gmt has a bi-directional bezel.
Marc, I would consider changing your logo on your watches to something like LIW . Sorry but I’m not a fan of the icon. That said, great video. Thanks for the information
