The Vertex M100 is a beautiful piece. I took a gamble on one several years ago and was not disappointed. It's been my go-to watch for a few years now, with much more expensive pieces collecting dust.
I purchased the Vaer when it came out a few years ago when it came out. It was a nice watch, but something didn't feel right, so I sold it on. I purchased the Vertex M100A last year, with no regrets at all. I keep going back to it, It's a strap monster 👍 Great comparison
I have my late father's Vertex Dirty Dozen circa 1944, used it regularly until about 11yrs ago and although now in a display case it's wound every day and is still keeping good time.
I took it to a local watch repairer recently intending to have it serviced but after the consideration of the dangers of the radium on the face and hands and the work involved I've decided to leave things as they are and keep it in the display case unwound. I have had offers to sell it but it is of great sentimental value not only to me but also to my grandson who admires not only for it's looks but also it's history. Thank you for your reply.
I recently got a Hamilton Khaki Field Auto. I’ve had it for a couple weeks and I love it. It runs less than -1 second slow per day when I wear it, and on the days I don’t wear it and it sits dial up in my watch box, it’s been about -2 seconds per day. I’m very happy with it.
I have the Vertex MP45 automatic limited (200) edition and the Vertex M100 bronze 75 limited edition watches. I absolutely love them and think they are the best modern interpretations of the original WWII dirty dozen to be reproduced by any of the original watch companies. Vertex puts companies like Bremont to shame for wonderful designs and value for money……
great narrative review, very different from just the specs etc. However, one question remains about the M100a in my mind. Does it have a ghost crown position (for date setting), or is there only one pull out position for setting the time? Would be great to know.
I find the Vertex M100A the best most modern version of a dirty doesn't watch. I am surprised nobody ever mentions one more original Dirty Dozen manufacturer that's still making a very authentic version of the Dirty Dozen watch today. And that's the Timor WWW. It has a heritage and certainly looks the part. And the price point is fairly reasonable also. I recommend checking them out if you haven't.
I have the Timor WWW and am very pleased with it. It's almost identical to the 1940s original, made in Switzerland with a modern hand-wound movement and sapphire crystal - all at substantially less than half the price of the Vertex.
You really should have contacted Timor and included the Timor Heritage field. I think Timor did a much better job with their rendition having the same dimensions as the original and offering a manual wind movement as well as an automatic and for a much better price than the Vertex, and of course Vaer no longer offers the A10.
Love a good CWC! I think the Vertex probably needs to be in a separate category of Luxury military field watch because it is so well made and finished and because of the cost. In reality it would be way above the spec necessary for a military piece.

That MP45 is incredibly beautiful.
Surprisingly one can’t find more videos on YT about it.
Thank you for reviewing it

That’s great to hear that you still have it and it’s still running!

Great show my friend
Thank you so much mate! Hope you’re well.
TMWC could try to review the Mp45H… what a masterpiece
The M100 is by far the best modern dirty dozen

Totally agree! Just the price point is abit much for some (if you do not compare it with the Bremont). I hope it can be under a grand.

I have a M100A. No ghost setting. One pull to get to hacking!
I came here for the Vertex, but looking at Vaer's current lineup the A12 Dirty Dozen 40mm looks pretty nice to me.
Great Video-I was curious about the lume- maybe next time!

without fucking lume on the numbers.
Wonderful review and even better straps!👌🏼
Thanks Michael! Much appreciated.

CWC 72 Mellor from Silvermans London….£499.00. A fabulous watch, mine is incredibly accurate, had it for nearly two years…..Go and look.
Love a good CWC!

Did you iron it, or did Mrs Under the Cuff?
Definitely me. I’m responsible for ironing her stuff!
@@underthecuffofficial Does the comment have to be relevant to help with the TH-cam Gods?
We can only hope
What about the
Timor?
The M100 will be released in 36 mm for the 80th anniversary of D-Day in limited edition
Vertex told me it would be released on D-Day, however it would not be limited.
No lumeshot? How is it so many reviewers miss this important function? Boggles the mind
I own the M100 and believe me, if there would be a lumeshot, the camera would be ruined. I've never seen lume like this.
Bonitos aunque caros
