I bought a rolex explorer 1 36mm for my boyfriend and ever since it had been his every day watch on any outfit he put on. I'm just amazed how versatile the explorer is.
That F.P. Journe Chronometre Optimum Boutique Edition is a nice piece.... F.P. Journe does have some nice pieces. A Lange never stop to amaze... Have a nice weekend guys.
In the coming Zombie apocalypse, when the last remnants of humanity are trying to find that fabled walled city in the mountains for safety, I shall launch a quest to find and raid the Watchbox vault - I shall die in a heap of undead with F. P. Journe on my left wrist and the Lange on the other.
So nice to see all those ALSs...TerraLuna is My all time favorite ever since at the 2014 NYC Show when Gaeton took it out of the locked case and let me wear it...
I think a green picture of the sunglasses in the background would be a good addition to the new studio My favorite two watches on the table would be the ALS Richard Lange Pour Le Merite and JLC Master Ultra Thin 1907 I have to say IWC has to make more like the Portugieser Hand Wound 8 Days 75th, looks much better than their current font and shape.
3 votes 1. Ufff AL&S Perpetual Celestial and 14 reserve, amazing mechanical piece the Best of the show... 2. Extraordinary High Tech Zentith hipnotic 1/100. 3. JLC ultra thin Best quality, simply elegant, great watch.
I much prefer my TT Root Beer (126711CHNR) to the all everose 126715CHNR. The interplay of the everose and oystersteel is extremely interesting to look at. Much more eye popping and stunning than it's big brother, IMHO. It's like a work of art. The all everose is monochrome and boring in comparison. Just my opinion.
@austin rosin I agree about the mass. That's why I'm wearing my yellow gold blue Submariner, 116618LB, right now whereas I was wearing my TT Root Beer earlier this evening. The reason I was wearing my TT Root Beer earlier is because my YG blue Sub would have been too flashy at the party I was attending.
Tim, you remind me why I bought the navitimer (that ref), and if possible you make me love it even more! Bwings forever! Best in the business and great taste too Mr Mosso!
Great vid Tim. What’s your feeling on the Zenith logo applied to the crystal? Do you feel it’s obtrusive or detracts from the watch or is it a non issue for you?
This kind of logo is the rule for skeleton or open dials, so I'm at peace with it. Other than printing the name on the bezel, there aren't many branding options, and I can't imagine and LVMH watch brand going no-logo. It's not distracting, either. Best, Tim
Yes. Right now, the smart money is buying brands like Lange, Glashutte, Zenith, Vacheron, Omega, De Bethune, Kari, JLC, Bulgari, and others that are not hyped and inflated to the level of Journe, Rolex, and (some) Patek. Best, Tim
Terrific selection of monumental timepieces, presented very professionally as always by your good self Tim! Hard to choose but those two featured "Panerai Luminor Submersibles".Both are fabulous and I can just picture each one upon my wrist. Panerai have really excelled themselves in recent years in design, use of colour and materials. Do please feature more in future video presentations Tim if possible. Great show all round!!!!
That Lange Cabaret tourbillon, stunning! Love that enamel dial on the Richard Lange as well. The Reverso very nice indeed too and Panerai Luminor Submersibles are my favorite dive watch design. What’s the accuracy rating on the Journe Elegante 48 quartz? The standard +/- 15 secs a month of standard quartz or closer to GS high-end battery powered quartz watches with their, what is it...+/- 10 secs a year!
It's tough to translate directly, but +/- .5 seconds per day seems to be the claim. When Grand Seiko claims this margin, it translates that into +/- 10s/month while listing the +/- 1s/d as a 15-second-per-month watch. Best, Tim
WatchBox Reviews all a little ambiguous then, still 0.5secs a day. Well that’s officially at least about twice as accurate as standard quartz I suppose (on that daily basis anyway) if not up there with the high-end battery powered (as opposed to Spring Drive powered) super accurate GS line. Maybe Journe will incorporate thermal compensation amongst other refinements is future versions? As GS/Seiko (and now Citizen) already do.
Great presentation by the man thank you Tim. ALS tourb is the sweetest to me. Watch box has stellar watches for the hi rollers. All the best to you Tim and watch box staff. Stay safe and warm.
In my opinion you are by far the best in the business and I absolutely love your videos, but I don't think I've ever seen a shirt that's been in more need of a good ironing. ;)
Watches need meaningful mainspring torque to self-start. Usually, a few turns of the crown are required to start an escapement. Automatic winding systems usually don't provide that kind of immediate energy to a depleted mainspring, and that's why all automatic watches can be wound manually for a quick start. Well, all but an old JLC Futurematic. Best, Tim
Would like to ask you guys, do you all believe Tim's wrist is 16cm??? Mine is 15cm but it looks like a tiny little baby wrist and Tim's looks more like a 17cm+ wrist. Anyone with similar size wrist can comment on that?
Mechanical watches are not worth the time or trouble. I want a high quality and highly accurate watch rather than just a status symbol. I am wealthy enough to buy high end watches, but I choose to wear quartz watches. My daily rotation consist of a quartz omega golden eye seamaster 2541.80, a quartz omega double eagle gold constellation, a omega seamaster black sword hands 2254, and Seiko sne441. Please convince me to buy a Rolex Explorer 1 or Submariner no date.

Tim is such a class act I don't even mind that I can't currently afford a single one of those watches.
I hope I'm not speaking out of school, but I think that that Lange is the most beautiful rectilinear cased watch I have ever seen!
Glad the watches and prices are listed now. Very informative.
Except that Singapore GP AP...this is the 1st time I absolutely adored *ALL* the watches on that table !!
Tim bringin' out the big guns tonight 👏🏻👏🏻
Always love seeing Lange up there! I wear that Explorer almost everyday and love it, one of my favorite Rolex watches. Great show Tim.
It may be hard to believe, but I have a groups of even more exclusive Lange complications ready for next week!
Best,

let me know if you need help with that.....

I love it, but I realize that I'll never have a wrist of sufficient size to wear the watch! Pour Le Merite for me...
Best,
Tim
That Lange Tourbillon is my new No.1
We all love ya, Tim, but $8,450 for that Explorer is insane. 😂
Seeing Tim without the green sunglasses, is like seeing Burt Reynolds without the moustache. Very unsettling.
Yeah especially because we can see the awkward spiral at the front of his head 😆

one of the better shows in a while.....great spread 👌
Wow, that ALS celestial piece is absolutely amazing. Thanks for showing us commoners that one!
Wow...fantastic video. Appreciate the effort. So much information and watches. Like breakfast at Tiffany’s!
38:09 Lange's new Sydney boutique has this watch on display, I saw it at the grand opening ceremony
More exotic Lange to follow: this is only a warm-up for next week.
Best,
Tim
@WatchBox Reviews, you gonna bring out the Lange Arkade, Tim? 😄
VC Overseas Chrono's are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥, i love them!! One day VC, one day.
Tim, you remind me why I bought the navitimer (that ref), and if possible you make me love it even more! Bwings forever!
Best in the business and great taste too Mr Mosso!
Explorer 1 214270 at 39 mm is the next collector time piece. Only sole survivor at 39 mm. If phase out, may be even more in demand.

I got the defy el primero 21 in midnight black ceramic... believe me: it is really no issue
Oh yeah my weekend watch porn!
Damn that Everose GMT is a cutie.
Wish F1 was indeed still "loud and proud". The hybrid "engines" sound flat and like a vacuum cleaner. Give me the old V12 era any day.
is demand in the USA so high that even an Explorer can be listed at almost 2K over MSRP?
Yes. Right now, the smart money is buying brands like Lange, Glashutte, Zenith, Vacheron, Omega, De Bethune, Kari, JLC, Bulgari, and others that are not hyped and inflated to the level of Journe, Rolex, and (some) Patek.
Best,
Tim
WatchBox Reviews exactly - that’s why I got my Glashütte SeaQ Panorama Datum - sold the Rolex SD43 and was the best decision ever ...
Rolex prices on the used market have gone full retard, unfortunately.
No, $2k is excessive. Numerous models for $1k within retail on Rolex forums and Chrono24.
S C feeling fortunate to have bought mine at MSRP only 3 months ago.

How about 36mm Explorer1 ref. 114270 for one top daily watch?
It's a good choice. Certainly, you have your pick of many different references, years, movements, and dials if you decide to buy a 36.
Best,
Tim
A tour de force review, only I'd like to have seen that Journe lume dial lit up in the dark.
That Lange Cabaret tourbillon, stunning! Love that enamel dial on the Richard Lange as well. The Reverso very nice indeed too and Panerai Luminor Submersibles are my favorite dive watch design.

damachine3 lol
That FP Journe is really interesting
Wow Tim! My pick three; FP Journe Elegante, AP Jumbo, and A Lange & Sohne Richard Lange. Please lol
I’ll take one of each thanks. Another awesome review Tim.
Tim, love that ALS Terra Luna... maybe you can ask ALS to make it a reverso? :)
Or add pivoting lugs like a Patek 5175/6300.
Best,
Tim
Tim sounds a serious version of the fast talking Dan Aykroyd salesman character from SNL lol
First! Wakey wakey! Good morning Tim!
Great to see you here, Clarence! Did you have a favorite? My own was the Richard Lange Pour le Merite.
Best,
Tim
For me, the ALS Terra Luna without a doubt.
Surprised the second hand didn't advance on the no date sub when Tim picked it up. Time for new oil?

Brilliant again Tim ! Thank you

B0bby Moon I think his is more flat than round
Geezz I love 14 out of the 20 watches here. I think I have caught the virus.
Jaeger le-Coultre. That's it. Why would anyone truly interested in watches spend money on a Rolex when he/she/they could buy a JLC?
You forgot to do the PO
Great job Tim. Yep..... this is a disease!
Chronic, indeed.

Cabaret please 👌
5:24 not 02 but 2? ugh!
Explorer numerals are too boxy and look like digital numbers...Don’t know how this watch became a classic.
the scratch on the side of the Jumbo hurts my soul
the price of the 214270! omg
That F.P. Journe.. one day
i meant to say , and make yrr decisions
Nice presentation. But he should get his shirt ironed 😂
Don’t make them do it, he already had to give up his sunglasses 😂
