The yacht master blue dial is an elegant all round stunner. I only think that it’s prices stops if from being mainstream which is consequently also one of its great benefits at the same time.
That's is one nice Yacht Master. I love the deep blue dial with red second hand. Good looking watch that just made it to my 43rd bday wish today. Have a nice weekend Tim and the rest of the guys and girls in the studio. Thank for another good weekend show.
I have been very fortunate to own the same model YachtMaster for the last two years and am absolutely delighted with it. A very special timepiece. Great show Tim, you really know your subject and your enthusiasm is infectious.
Tim, you nailed it. This YM is a slept-on Rolex that is a conversation starter and ender. When you see this in the wild it has very “powerful” presence, if you know what I mean.
Hey Tim!! Welcome back to Sundays, great show as always, watching it with the morning coffee. We missed you! Dude, your videos are making my life a mess haha, I bought a two tone datejust this past week, and two speedmasters while you were away, the speedmaster daydate (or triple date) and a moonwatch reduced. I think I own 5 watches you made videos about but I never bought one from you guys, shame on me getting all this knowledge for free!!! haha. I'm telling you again, I'm buying one omega or rolex from the watchbox in my next trip to the US for sure (in a few months, honeymoon to hawaii). I don't know why I'm telling you all this, but this show makes me feel like I'm talking with my friends about watches. Oh and the app is perfect for following the real time value of my watches, and also to explore others. Great job again man, but my wife hates you hahahahahaha Cheers!!
Thanks for supporting my show. I'm happy to provide a resource to the watch community for general knowledge... and if you **do** choose to buy a watch from us, I'm grateful for that. Best, Tim
Seriously Tim best show ever. The Vacheron & JLC's today were just 😍...I'm at a loss for words. I don't care what anyone says but those pieces are true works of art. I recently got my best friend into watches. She has 2 Rolex's & was tired of being basic so I took her to a couple of boutiques & showed her some good pieces. She decided on a JLC rendezvous with a steel bracelet. She is petite & super tiny so it fit her wrist perfectly 😇 and looked absolutely stunning. I can't thank you enough. I have been watching your videos for the past 3 years & learned so much. 😎 If Archieluxury is the pontiff then you sir are The Ambassador!
Darn, I was getting ready to say that the Vacheron Saltarello reminds me of weight scales, then Tim beat me to it, "the bathroom scale from heaven" - I agree Tim. I like the retrograde jump hour, but my Reservoir Supercharged Sport is way more affordable for me, I got interested in that brand thanks to you Tim.
25:06 Finally a drift-compatible watch. This is exactly what I needed to be able to slay kaijus while checking the time, regardless of where I am. Thanks for the tip, Tim.
Great show Tim. Just to add info to your 5131R presentation, in production for 3 years. The 011 is from year 3 and the difference is the city ring was changed for each year of production. The R was the first time Patek used white enamel for snow on the WT series. 👍
All of this is excellent to know. There have been a couple of 5131 reference rings as Caracas has gone off the rails and Moscow has changed its mind a few times. Perhaps there's a few others, too. Best, Tim
WatchBox Reviews The 3 main differences were: year 1 - London is on the outer ring of cities, the red GMT indicator is larger: year 2 - London moved to the inner ring, as did all the corresponding cities that were on the outer ring, Moscow moved time zone and both Sydney and Brisbane were on the piece despite sharing the same time zone for 6 months of the year, red GMT indicator got smaller: year 3 - Brisbane was replaced. There are other differences such as the circumference used by Patek for the city rings (that is too geeky to mention 😉) - but at a quick glance it is easy to tell the 001, from the 010 and the 011 (your piece in the show) using the main differences highlighted. 👍
I've probably watched this episode 3 times, I watch this stuff all day long. Yet that crown setting, that little button surprises me every time. Until you pointed it out I forgot it was there. Watchmaking Virtuoso Perfo
Long time fan Tim. I enjoyed the fact you were wearing a long sleeve shirt today. Gave me a better idea of how the watches would look against a more formal work scenario.
Like the Navy, I have my twice-yearly uniform swap. Around late November or early December, I swap from short sleeves to long for the winter. Best, Tim
God bless you Tim. I didn't know they made a full platinum AP for 2019 too, WOW. ITS BEAUTIFUL. The black Jaquet Droz and the Patek with Green strap are beautiful. Everything has been a miracle. The Vacheron Patrimony is beautiful too.
Glad to have the show back with my morning coffee. And you brought it back with a bang! The standouts for me today were the Saltarello and the Reverso, both of which are among my favorites from each brand. The quirky yet graceful Saltarello haunts me as well, and that Reverso is pretty close to perfect. Both are contenders for a "trade" of a personal grail of a different mechanical persuasion. Congrats on experiencing yours.
I was thrilled to present those watches. For god's sake, we don't need more steel Rolex, AP, or Patek, but when Vacherons like this show up, I'm almost at a loss for words. These watches are what the hobby is all about; discovery. Best, Tim
I’m very intrigued with Jaquet Droz and it’s great to see you bringing one on the show. I’m most interested in the Grande Heure Minute Quantième Côtes De Genève; gorgeous!
I am struggling to decide between that Yachtmaster from Rolex and the blue dialed Omega AT... The Aqua Terra is 5k and the Rolex YM is 10k, but over 10 years of wear, what would I get more joy in wearing?
So I think I have asked before, but why not. The question is; if the Pt can't wear the ceramic pins, what stops the ceramic pins wearing out the Pt, therefore creating holes too big for themselves leading directly to bracelet stretch?
Hey Tim, Do skeletonized watches have their dials carved/chizzled off or do they just have a dial without a watch face? A bit confused. Wouldn’t the latter be mush easier?
Skeletonized watches feature dials or movements that have been cut away so that only a "skeletal" structure remains. "Openworked" often means same thing from a technical standpoint, but as a convention, it's also applied to watches that have almost no dial at all rather than a delicate "skeleton" of remaining material. Best, Tim
YOU are the very best reviewer on this earth! YOU are as good as the super great watches that you review! WOW.....a master with master pieces.....true true true....
I can't believe you could have that Yacht Master for under 10,000, no waiting list and people will still either; pay out the A hole or sit on their hands for years waiting for the 'The Call' to tell them they can have the privilege to give them your money for a steel 3 hander. Lunacy!!
Tim, I'm torn between 3 Rolex options for similar money, give or take. Yacht Master 40 Rhodium latest generation, hulk, sea dweller 116600, which impresses you most? And does the Yacht Master scratch and ding easily. Good to have you back!
It’s great to see you back Tim ! If you had to choose between that OysterFlex Daytona white gold or the new yacht master 42 Which would be your favourite?
I'm a Cosmograph guy as a car and racing fan. While the new YM42 is a very compelling product, I'd have to think long and hard about whether to choose the 116519 or the 116518; yellow gold vs white on a Daytona would be the only choice. Rolex's yellow gold Daytona/Oysterflex looks shockingly good to this non-partisan of yellow gold. Best, Tim
3 exceptional Watches today Octo Finn Tourbillon with all the GG ADN. FPJ máster independent, no More to say. and of course JLC Reverso Tourbillon 2 manual , real jewel on the table
Best way to start Sunday :D Awesome as usual Tim, and a great variety of watches. I especially like the Vacheron Constantin Saltarello, and the Jaquet Droz Astrale both are eye candy :D The Sinn 104 might be the best 1k watch ever made, in my opinion. But my favorite has to be the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Automatic, what a feat of engineering and art. I think the JLC Master Ultra Thin Perpetual might be the best "affordable" luxury perpetual calendar watch to get, Its definitely on my list.
I can understand that you might have felt like you were accumulating way too many JLCs, but... if that Reverso Platinum Number 2 was your true grail, why did you let it go?
Woww my head is spinning. What a great show by the master. Hi end stellar watches by the great brands. Watches for all tastes an buyers. Thank you sir stay safe and fell better please. Sinn here.
That blue dial 116622 is the prettiest 40mm Rolex. The 116655 is the stealthiest. Perhaps some day I'll have one of each. C'mon, Wall Street correction!
Any chance you could put Weekend Watches on the main Watchbox channel please? I don't want to subscribe to the reviews channel, because I don't want my feed filling up!
The only AP Offshore that appeals to me...so much platinum and 430g, that’s nearly half a kilo...for a watch! Not something you could wear for very long before your wrist wilts! A big fan of this line of watches from Bulgari. An uncommon Journe variation, I haven’t seen that one before. Why are the Sinn’s here all one grade below chronometer? For affordability reasons when purchased new? Gorgeous Reverso! Sorry, but I don’t get the appeal of VC, or why they’re part of the ‘holy trinity’. They’re very indistinct, often use (or did use?) bought in movements. There are plenty of other brands that are just as finely finished too. And they generally don’t hold their value as well as a Patek or AP either (if you’re into that, me not so much) It’s also just another Richemont brand nowadays (mind you, so is Lange) and not independent like the other two. That skeletonized chronograph is very nice though.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but for your information Vacheron is the longest continuously operating watch company in the world. Going all the way back to 1755. The only brands that are older I can think of right now is Blancpain & maybe Gallet. Although the Gallet family’s foray into watchmaking goes back into the mid-1400’s it wasn’t until 1826 that the company’s name was registered by Julien Gallet. As far as value retention goes most of us enthusiasts aren't in this hobby because we want or need an investment. That is why the majority of collectors buy preowned. I'm sure you are aware that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I personally find nothing bad about them being a part of the Richemont group. Gucci is a part of Kering and Fendi is owned by LVMH. So I ask you does being a part of a group or conglomerate automatically erase all the history & achievements of those brands?
Blake Star I’m not anti VC. And I’m aware that technically VC is the longest running watch brand. I’m also, like you not all that bothered by value retention of high-end watch brands, nor do I care that VC is part of a larger conglomerate. Lange is my favorite brand of all, and is part of the same group. My issue is in that it is referred to as part of the holy trinity of Swiss watch brands. And I don’t think it quite fits there, at least not anymore.The reasoning for this, just my opinion mind is...to be part of such a trinity you need a number of things: a long rich history, VC has that no doubt! Independence, to achieve that in this day and age is very difficult, and VC doesn’t have that. Unique trademark models that everybody knows are by you, as well as an influence on the industry that you serve as a whole. Patek and AP have those things, VC not so much. Then there’s that super high-end finishing, VC has that in spades like the other two big kahunas. But then so do many other smaller brands nowadays, like Lange, Moser, Journe, LF etc...that’s not a unique trait anymore. So in conclusion VC is no doubt a top-tier brand, just not quite up to that trinity level. Again just my own humble opinion, if others disagree, such as yourself. That’s just fine 🙂
Throw worried glances at my wrist to see if my Bvlgari is still there, err no, the watch whilst technologically excellent is hideous, not something that I would ever buy or even consider buying. I just do not get this fascination for having skeletonised dials, many of you will love this look but the design leaves me cold, not only on this watch but on all other watches built in this way.
Also I’ll just go out and say it. I don’t really like Patek. It’s just not my style. Their formal pieces are eh and I’m definitely not a fan of sports watches that you can bang around and ya know actually wear doing activities like sports.
The Yacht Master Blue dial is perfection ❤
The yacht master blue dial is an elegant all round stunner. I only think that it’s prices stops if from being mainstream which is consequently also one of its great benefits at the same time.

why is the Daytona so expensive? its usually around the 35k mark on the market isn't it?
I think they had it mixed up, that's the price of the platinum Daytona they have on their website.
Thank you Tim
