Hi Guys,
I borrowed a watch off a newly revamped watch company, not quite a start-up, but they are called Ollech and Wajs and this is their P-101. It's a cool swiss made tool watch powered by the ETA 2824-2.

done, i've watch your first video on youtube up to this current video.
i don't need to hit the notification bell cause i always check your channel for new videos everyday. keep it up! love watching while drinking coffee.
jundyl calo thanks so much buddy. That’s awesome of you. 🙌🏻
@@BarkandJack You're welcome 👍
Its great you're covering watches at around this price . More please!
I think this price range is an interesting one. There will be more. 👍🏻
@@BarkandJack excellent!
Do a seiko sumo and tuna.
Back to your rambling best. These ramblings lift your watch channel above others.
Regards
Haha. Thanks a lot Sam. 👍🏻
“Why am I such a prick?” 🤣
It’s okay buddy. We still love you.
Steve Dave haha. Cheers mate. 👍🏻
"I can make that jump"
Narrator: *He could not*
At 8:59 you can even see a small bridge over the stream!
This video is Bark & Jack on steroids. The opening music never sounded so fitting 👍
Haha. Thanks mate. 👍🏻
I’d love to see you review the Yema ‘Superman’ or any of their heritage inspired collection. Very tooly and with genuine history.
@Barkandjack Yes! Review the superman heritage please!
Picked a yema
up last month. 15 min after arriving it was back at the post office to start it's refund journey. 10 days for watch to come 20 days for refund. Avoid the whole watch felt crude brushing rough bezel lock thing poorly Finnished worst of all watch was a quartz when listed as an automatic. Unforgivable
@@timeintheuk I have my doubts about Yema also , I'm thinking there made in Hong Kong and assembled in France !
@@juniorjohnson5961 I picked up the maxi dial version in the black Friday sales I did a review on it
@@timeintheuk I'll CK. It out .
As a car guys, I VERY much appreciate the inclusion of sports cars in your videos. Cars and watches go great together, thanks for the video! 😁
Good to see O&W being covered. I bet you didn't know that the two main characters from the 70s UK show "The Professionals" both wore O&W
Wow I didn't know that and I've watched that series a hundred times. I'll now have to watch them all over again to see if I can spot the watches, another week of binge watching. They don't make them like that any more, it's so un-PC it's great🤭
@@jules07870 one of them wears the OW Caribbean. I think that's the name of the model...
Worth it for that foot in the water... pissing myself, thanks for including that!
Haha. Glad the effort wasn’t wasted. 👍🏻
indeed. I think a lot of utubers would have censored/edited that out. But it was hilarious and very Adrian! Poor Timberland's
I absolutely loved this video Adrian, the cars, the scenery, the videograph - all of it is just awesome! Thank you for a fantastic review as well :)
Would love to see a review of the Christopher ward mlitary collection. I think they would take the fight to this piece at the same price. COSC too
Sir, your fairness in comparison and review are second to none. Winding a watch hasn't ever been described so well, and I agree with that.
Thanks a lot mate. 👍🏻
Great video!
I totally agree on it's a good looking watch, and I actually considered buying one until I saw the lug-to-lug measurements...
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE my P-101! I can't wait for them to resurrect other models and bring them into 2020. I think I can see myself with a C-1000 here soon!
Forget the watch for a moment, the guy's passion for watches and things he loves to share just makes my day :)
You’re starting to look like a genuine old money Scottish lord, with that jacket and Land Rover! Great video again, Adrian.
Haha. I am getting into the country life up here. 👍🏻
@@BarkandJack what jacket are you wearing in this video Adrian?
Mr Sigma hey, you pay extra for the dung. Especially if it’s not artificial.
I bought my brother his first automatic watch and made sure I included 2 of your straps with his present. I still comment to people on the amazing service that you provided, which included a hand written thank you note with my purchase. Love your videos they are such a breath of fresh air compared to other reviewers.
Bark and Jack is now an exploration channel. Exploring both watches and beautiful scenery. Love it.
I measured my wrists to see why almost every one of the current style "Slab O'Watch" trend looks like a cinder block hanging off my wrist, and it's because I too have anemic, tiny, Bambi noodle wrists at 6.5 inches as well. It's made your channel infinitely more relatable and interesting.
Great video!
Where's the drinking coffee bit?
Bark and Jack is the only good brand with "and" in its name
Ollech and Wajs considered
Theo and Harris considered
Haha. Thanks mate. 👍🏻
Lange?
case is pretty thick and you cant deny the amazing clicky feel of a bezel, it's got such a beautiful satisfying feel
great video! You know what, this is becoming my favorite Watch Channel on TH-cam.
Please do a review of a Longines watch someday, I love this brand.
best regards!
Maybe one for a q&a episode?
Adrian, you used to (and maybe still do) work in an arm of H.R, plus had that time in London when you felt you were being targeted for your watch...so my question, do you make conscious decisions of when to, and when not to wear a certain watch based on the perception or reaction others may have towards you- from positive to negative? e.g. wearing a £10k watch in a HR meeting
Check out the Sinn 556 or 104 range. Great tool watches for the price! On the bracelet if you can. Also Sinn just released an option to have the 104 fully hand bead blasted case & bracelet which makes it a super tool watch!
Very very cool watches. Just purchased a BB red bezel but the OW S-1000 on steel is my next watch. Beautiful steel bracelet. For the money? Super value.
Get a Monta in! Pricey, but I think the finishing is superior to Tudor.
I would love to see a review of the Christopher Ward C65 GMT - beautiful watch but i hesitate to buy it without being able to try it on
@Ron the shrink Why Ron, i have other CWard's and they are really high quality?
Someone's having fun on his channel... Great review, love the production and happy you're enjoying what you do! Cheers Adrian!
Aside from the watch and the cars, I really dig the beautiful shots of Scotlands nature
that jump😂 gotta love that guy
Hahaha.
A pity the lug to lug is 50. 48 would be perfect. Lovely watch. I love good looking tool watches. Great video
Hello Adrian, I really enjoyed the video. I really liked that you didn't only praise the watch for everything and anything, but also said what you didn't like about it.
I like the Ollech Wajs P-104, with that orange markers and hands, but I prefeer the 12 hour bezel rather than the slide rule.
I didn’t get my Tudor Pelagius like I thought I would. I am now leaning heavily towards the OW C-1000.
Excellent, Adrian This is exactly why I like this channel. Any other Prick would have left that out. I love that you left it in. Because that's what we all would have done because we'd have been worried about the camera. LOL as for brands I'm a huge Fortis fan. I think they have excellent bang for buck and don't get mentioned near enough. It'd be cool to hear your take on it.
Cheers!!!
I'm glad you covered this watch, I was kinda eyeing it since I think it's got a nice tool watch look so it's nice to have a good overall review of it. The jump was epic even though you didn't make it. Or because of it I should say!
Thoroughly enjoyed the content and your views, thank you for putting it together for us.
Thanks so much for watching. And I’m glad you liked it. 👍🏻
Great Timberland and Barbour product placement!
The sound editing from exhaust to theme tune was 👌
Haha. Thanks Ben. 👍🏻
Now that's a lovely looking Chinese watch. Thanks for the review.
Adrian literally gets his feet wet trying a new style of video! Loved it. Looking forward to seeing the Scottish countryside in the summer. How many vids can you do in a week?
Curious as to your thoughts on the Baltic Auqascaphe.
Cool lume on the minute hand is special! 4:00
like it. Looks quite like a Glycine Airman watch though. Including the long lugs.
O&W caught my attention recently because of their Navitimer version and the “Computing” watch...
That BMW V8! sublime sound.
Hi Adrian, what great vid! The cars, the atmosphere, the watch, also the wet food and your comments. More of this. Best filmed watch review this year.
Wow. Thanks so much mate. Really glad you liked it. 👍🏻
Dude, you looked cold and uncomfortable before you jumped and soaked yourself!!😂
We saw the wet foot coming. Should of used the rocks to step off. You gave the boot manufacturer a nice logo shot, so I’m sure a new pair should arrive soon. Like the mix of cars, outdoorsy and the watch review on par, keep this content coming. I do like the look of that strap, brown leather, worn with the stitching. I can’t feel the quality. Interesting how it wears after time, maybe soften up. You get what you pay for. Good price to get a tool watch collection going.
I was sure others would have mentioned Vostok, regarding the clickless bezel. No further engineering required, and you do get used to it just fine. In fact, smooth-bidirectional becomes a change of pace attribute.
Am yet to see a bidirectional bezel with clicks. The friction bezel on this watch is perfect for its intended use. As for the "grittiness" of the crown, i have experienced that with watches I own and they very quickly lose that feel and become smooth as silk.
This watch for the money is hard to beat especially with a regulated Swiss movement from a company that is proud to proclaim 90% Swiss manufacture.
Agree with you about the finish on the hands. Under macro they are very coarsely done. But even still you could forgive them for that as this watch is essentially a workhorse tool watch not a show pony.
awesome barbour jacket!!
Have a look at a German brand called Archimede. They're one of a few brands owned by Ickler, a German case maker since 1924. I have their dive watch called Sporttaucher (meaning Sport diver) - quite an original design given the plethora of sub homages out there. It's a bit 50 fathoms with 12, 3, 6 and 9 markers, but a nice alignment of date window and crown at 4 o'clock
The O&W watches are 90% Swiss made unlike many so called luxury efforts.
I am biased I like them especially the C1000S.
I am a fan of the original O & W watches, I have a neat military model from 1992 and I had a yellow faced XXL which was a great watch, solid and well put together but at 43mm too big, they used to make some great divers watches and their military watches were very popular with American G I’s. This new one is too thick at 15 mm and lugs are too large, I agree the hands look unfinished and the bezel looks like cheap plastic.
Appreciate you leaving in the river jump lol, nice video man
Haha.
Getting better and better Adrian. Would be good to see your thoughts on Yema
O & W were the watch of choice for a lot of GI’s in Vietnam.
That’s really cool to know. Wish I’d known that for the video. 👍🏻
Idea for a video, if you can...
Everybody only speaks about ETA and in a smaller amount Sellita. As you know eta will be reducing its sales to non swatch group companies thus need to use other movements, but their are some other movements from Switzerland that nobody speaks about and that must be good, maybe you could do a little video about them, and the watch that they power... (technotime, vaucher, soprod, felsa and others)...
I looked at their dive watch , the 1000 but was a bit put off by the lack of lume . To be advertised as a diver tool , if you can't see it when your down in the dark at depth then it isn't doing its job properly. Just my opinion. I've been a diver ( military trained) for 50+ yrs so I know what works for me . Other than that , it's a nice looking peice . BTW , pretty funny video . Nice jump Adrian !!! Lol
20 year old Adrian, I can jump a meter...
40 year old Adrian, I can jump a meter, splash...
Sorry if I got your age wrong, love the videos.
Forty? FORTY? I have a bit of time yet until forty. Although I do look it. I blame the kids!
@@BarkandJack Haha, sorry man, I figured I was off a bit. I have 3 little rats, I feel your pain.
I would suggest a Damasko chrono for a value proposition in the 'tool watch' sector. I bet they'd love to borrow you a piece.
The photography is top notch. I thoroughly enjoyed the fantastic view. The watch is very unique looking and I give them credit for that. Had it been a bit more refined, it would be a great contender for Oris, Yema or Doxa.
Thanks a lot Paul.
Very nice looking watch, a classy vibe but no clicks!!! and also another great back drop for the video. Your actually getting good at this.
I agree with others that the C65 Trident GMT would be a great review. Loved this one.
Really enjoy your outdoor reviews, Adrian. Much better than the average run of the mill studio reviews you see all over TH-cam. Very TTWC of you!
I kind of like the deep furrows on the hands, as it sets it apart from what I see on a zillion other watches.
Yeah that’s a fair point.
Adrian, have you ever heard of ZRC Grands Fonds 300? A very toolish watch, reissue of a 1960s French Navy dive watch. Interesting bracelet, very interesting crown, and one-of-a-kind bezel.
I think its great to start looking at lower price point / micro brands as I think there are a lot of great watches out there at a lot more affordable price, not taking some great high end brands as have an Overseas but equally get as much pleasure from brands I have including, Boldr, Nehtuns. Great Video.
Check out the new Eza-1972 skindiver. Comes in 39.6 mm and 35.6mm. Its is comparable to the P-101 dimensions wise.
Car reviews coming soon 😉 I think you should 👍🏼
Lol love the jump
In regards to the watch being named after the F101 jet, which was the first jet to reach 1000mph (as indicated), Ollech and Wajs was the first watch company to produce a 1000m water resistant watch. Must be related, no? Great review!
The oris Pilots Watch is also a Great Watch in this Price Range :)
I feel the lug to lug is great of course I have a 8.25 wrist
Adrian, you just made me laugh out loud in public because you're athletic skills to jump a river are of the charts. Nice video, nice watch but not worth the money I reckon. Anyway cheers
Hahaha. It really was a pathetic jump.
Love the new nature setting format! Keep it up
Thanks a lot mate. 👍🏻
Nice looking watch, a little rough around the edges maybe, but nice none the less. The worst part of the video was landing in the cold water, that had to send a jolt through you! Awesome video as always!
The intro was fire! 🔥 🔥 🔥
You, Sir, have excellent taste in cars as well as watches...my compliments.
Great video Adrian.
Kind of fitting that you did get a wet foot.: I guess the guys who were wearing the original Ollech & Wajs did get some wet feet occasionally while approaching the pitching carrier deck in their A-4's F-8' or F-4's when coming back to the boat from a mission out of south asia, as well as the guys on the ground walking through the jungle and the paddy fields.
I totally agree with you on the mentioned improvements that should be done. Besides that, it's a cool looking watch IMHO.
Best start to your videos. The enthusiasm for the cars was brilliant and the “I can jump a meter “ was comedy gold...! Love it. Oh yeah, the watch was nice too :-)
Why do you put SFr and not CHF? I thought CHF is more universally known.
Hey Adrian! 👋🏻 I need a good quartz watch that can take a serious beating for work as an RN. Preferably an analog as all the other nurses wear G-Shocks or 🍎 watches so I’d like to be different.. (also on a rubber strap so I can clean it very well with disinfecting wipes)
Thank you for all the amazing content. 👏 -Nikko
Wonderful terrain , lol I hate wet feet too. My whole body can be drenching wet but not my 🦶😓. As to the hill well congratulations you just found out that there is more elevation to a mountain lol 😂 great content !
Now that’s a high class dogging location.....pish mysel with the long jump. The strange thing is the blackness of the date window makes the dial look grey.
Clouds are Alto-Cumulus...
Those flowing stream shots 😍
I was willing for you to fall in. Lmao
Great video, love the setting and I thought a very fair review, I’ve got the sister O&W P-104 and would concur with crown, I’ve got 7.5” wrists to lug to lug doesn’t affect me but compared to my Chris Ward 42mm they are long. Mine also had the slide-rule bezel which for a 60yr old is impossible to read. I got the watch because I have an older O&W and I liked the black and orange colour scheme.
Thanks for the review.....refreshing to see a review of a nice, but relatively unknown (at least to me) timepiece. Well done! 👍
How about the Orient Kamasu? Can be bought for under 300 probably, sapphire crystal, on house movement with hacking and hand-winding, relatively small dimensions that can fit smaller wrists, and can be regulated to within 5 seconds. In my opinion, the green version is the nicest, but the one with a red dial and black bezel is nice too.
Probably one of the weak points is the bracelet, which has folded endlinks. However, the strapcode bracelet for the Kamasu is out, but I'm not sure about the quality. What are your opinions on Strapcode bracelets?
Looks a great watch for the price.
Jump made me smile 😃. Re reviews - Certina DS PH 200 for £645 - good solid tool watch.
I love this channel! Thanks for the hard work
Thanks so much for watching mate. 👍🏻
I really like how you do these reviews. Thanks Adrian.
The strap is a key thing. Longines make great watches but somehow often fall short on straps, I got all the straps they provide for the Legend diver and each one falls short in one way or another. Rolex bracelets are industry leaders, but they should be easy to swap like on an overseas and all should have glidelock. Every single watch above a certain price should pay a lot of attention to straps and bracelets and have quick release exchange as a basic. For me it is laziness from the industry not to have this. The strap is important, being able to change it as you like for your mood or occasion is something that should be easy and not require any tools.
Great video, and on so many levels. New-to-me watch brand, stunning scenery, nice duds, and feats of strength... you had it all in this one. It was a real pleasure to watch. I’m feeling a pull to relocate and get closer to nature, those shots are hitting me in the right spot
that watch is kinda....beautiful
Adrian.....Thank Gawd you've pronounced Wajs correctly as Oh Lech and Vice....a few years ago Mr Wajs was still working from an office in Zurich selling NOS movements and AOPA Navitimers... BTW....O and W were most during the Vietnam era for their 24 hour Blue and Red Bezel O. W. Early Bird it was an iconic watch....just saying...
Haha. I did contact them to ask how it was pronounced. The J threw me off.
Adrian... ...Albert Wajs was always very approachable, he was perhaps the first manufacturer to cut out the middle man, he had no ADs and dealt directly with his customers.. He made his reputation dealing with PX stores and US servicemen during the Vietnam war. He passed on the O&W company to a French collector in 2017... His O&W Early Bird is a modern classic and makes big money now...any other info....just let me know...
Nice little watch but diameter is far too small for me. Brand not world wide recognisable. Overpriced taking all above under consideration . Anyway , presentation was very professional and interesting. You deserve 👍👍👍
Thanks a lot mate. 👍🏻
