I recently bought a Hamilton from this guy online but decided to pick up the watch in person since he stayed nearby. I had a short transaction in mind, but the moment we met and started talking watches, an hour had gone by and I hadn't even noticed. Meeting watch geeks in person is just a pleasure and a privilege of its own dimension!
Wow, I never really ever noticed this watch before. I think I kinda love it. I've been looking at so many Datejust lately trying to find one to fit my budget, but they all seemed to be very highly priced, especially the good ones. This one I think would suit me really well, I'm so glad I found your video. It's so beautiful, and the strap you have it on is absolutely gorgeous, too. Also, I was so moved by the way you talked about Trevor and how appreciative you were to be able to have that experience with him. More than the watch, it was the experience you shared that I connected with most. Brilliant watch, brilliant story, brilliant video. Thank you for sharing, and be blessed always.
I'm usually not a big fluted bezel guy, but this is a beauty. I think the smaller proportions do it. And the chocolatey leather wrap is just perfect. Plus a wonderful story. Congratulations all around!
Good for you....both of you. I truly love stories like this, and I'm so glad that you shared it. With all of the problems of the world today, and all of the negativity that we are inundated with on a daily basis, stories like this, renew my faith in humanity. It reminds me, that there are still good people in this world of chaos, in which we live in. Something as simple as a watch purchase, has the ability to develop a bond between 2 like-minded individuals, that may potentially last a lifetime. Maybe there's hope for us after all.... Cheers Peter
Well said. One of *the* best facets of this hobby is stories like this one. Spotting a 'fellow traveller', saying 'nice watch' and finding yourself chatting all things watches with a perfect stranger as you wait for your coffee or ride an elevator. It's akin to running into someone from your home town in a foreign metropolis!, an instant connection, an instant short-hand in your communication and, for me anyway, an instant little jolt of happiness in an otherwise routine day. Honestly, it's a great feeling!
I really like positive and kind stories and videos just like this ,the way the hobby should be without all the trying to be better than others attitude
Hey Peter, congratulations on your new watch, it is absolutely lovely. Enjoy. Also, thank you for being such a humble and terrific gentleman. Folks like you make the world a better place. All the best my friend.
Beautiful story for a handsome watch! I envy, and live vicariously through, your ability to get out and meet others who enjoy this hobby. The watches are great, but the stories and the people are even better!
Last year I got a Tudor Style with 18k bezel and black face. It's the best deal for I dress watch I've seen. I got it for 2k US and it's amazing. I don't understand why they are not collected more. I guess people just don't go for dress watches lately. I really like this 2005 model you got because it has the curvy case. It's a winner!
Nice story.... Anytime you are in Ohio.... you are welcome to come over for beer/ whiskey, cigars and talk watches.......love this channel....fun fun fun....nerding out....
I love this Tudor Prince Date Day. I was at the Servo & I noticed the bloke behind the counter had one on & he noticed the Air King I was wearing. That Prince is probably my favourite Tudor.
absolutely stunning watch and story mate ! Ive been eyeing a two tone , fluted bezel 36 or 38mm Tudor prince date for ages. Will pick one up this year! Will try to get the jumbo but those are way harder to come by
Hi Thomas. I believe the guys at Del-Ray run a 'waiting list' for the jumbo Tudor Prince Day and/or Date-Day. At least they were a few months back... And they don't tend to price gouge by the looks of it. Never bought from them personally though. Hope this helps mate. ✌🏼️
Love this watch and loved the story. Also thanks for showing the instant day change at 2:09 I’ve been wondering for a while whether it’s an instant change.
This is really a lovely watch, congratulations for this purchase and the experience associated. You're not really a stranger to most of us Pete! However I would have liked to see the watch on the bracelet. On a side note it must have the most beautiful applied logo I've ever seen. Cheers!
What a chance encounter . That's a really beautiful watch and it looks in great condition. Would have no qualms straping that to my wrist , would be nice to see it on the jubilee
Only you, cause it's you! Enjoy! (Don't you love these simple small 3 hands watches? Essence at it's peak!) Now you also have a(nother) friend, both blessed you met to talk about your common "watch disease"... 😉 PS "Κανε καλο, κι αυτο θα σου γυρισει" μου'λεγε η γιαγια μου, κατι ηξερε. Κι εσυ εισαι πολλα καλος αδερφε μου, παντα τετοια. Ευχομαι ολοψυχα να εισαι καλα κ στην υγεια σου. Σε φιλω αδερφε, παντα καλο να σε βρισκει. 🙏
Congratulations Pete. As you often say, this hobby of ours is a healthy one. I think the story within this upload highlights that. Great purchase too! One of my favourite timepieces - full stop. Don’t get me wrong, if I could afford it, I’d take a vintage yellow gold Rolex Day-Date over a Tudor - but the Tudor Date-Day *is* available in a 'Jumbo' (or 39mm) size *and* being stainless steel, it's eminently more practical, more wearable. Unfortunately, my finances don't even allow me the Tudor! But I do have a Ricoh Dynamic. I know that you're not a fan of homage watches, but I (with some caveats) don't have an issue with them. My Ricoh is a 36mm gold-plated copy of the 1st Rolex Day-Date - the one with alpha hands. And I love it. Even on my ~ 8" wrist it wears a treat and has a *heap* of presence for its size. I wear it on an almost identical strap, in an ox-blood red, but I don't wear it often (inspired by your review I am wearing it now!). Great upload Pete. I've been on a break from my socials since mid Dec. and it was great to find this atop my feed when I logged back in today. Cheers bud, and once more; congratulations on the new purchases. ✌🏼️
This illustrates what another TH-camr (John P) has mentioned: it's not a good idea for the novice to get into real vintage watches; he's just not going to have the requisite experience or expertise. But a more recent model (2005) - there's a safe bet. As it happens, your sample looks like it just rolled out the factory door. Your superbly detailed videography brings all of your watches to vivid life.
Thanks man, I needed a feel-good piece this week. As for the Tudor, simply classy looking. Great lines, looks great on the strap. Too small for me at 36mm, but it would just be a dream at 39mm.
Hi Peter, I have a great news and would like to share with you, I saw this prince dd video last yr and keep in mind so far, this 76214 is so amazingl and unique, I tried to find here {HK) and finally God give me a great chance yesterday to get it in the second market, it still keep in good quality, I super love it, l will change (same as you) to a leather strap, may be light orange or brown color which is perfect match with this silver dial white 18k bezel watch case, what a nice time piece, is so satisfied. 🤗🤗🎉🎉
ThankU Peter! Stunning watch, I have a vintage version in gold, a lifetime watch. What ‘local forum’ do you trust to visit and purchase form our locals Pete? Each day I chat to some of my customers, about the watch on their wrist, great humble people quietly accentuating their personality in what would be considered an old school way nowadays - not being a smart watch!. This week alone, a wonderful woman with an LV with that interesting ‘dive’ case and diamond LV/black dial, a vintage Rolex Pepsi, a vintage 35 years daily wear gold Seiko Sports 100, and an Ares on a Navy watch enthusiasts wrist. I revisited your strap videos and made some purchases, hopefully they are affiliated links to help support your channel! Cheers Mate!
You can come to my house Peter anytime, got loads of tat to flog , lol. No seriously love the tudor , it's a classic design. Did you say it came on a jubilee bracelet ? Because the ones I've seen come on a unique one designed by tudor. Seen a lot of these and that's the best colourway in my opinion. A great addition mate.
Yeah it’s a unique Jubilee that Tudor makes, I like it, it’s comfortable Needed to try some leather though 👍 Put the kettle on Martin, I’m coming over to check out that tat you wanna flog 😊😂
@@PeterKotsa, lol well I've got about 30 watch straps , a couple of rados and a tag , lol. Got 2 broken ones too , an edox hydro sub quartz and a Sieko BFG that needs a capacitor !!! Welcome any time m8 , vaccinated or not , lol. Sorry couldn't resist the old tennis quote !!!
...hope for you that this doesn't mean that you had to get rid of the SAR rescue timer to make these purchases instead.... Your intro suggest that you did. ;-). I personaly love the Black Bay 36 without day date.
Great video! Peter, do you know that the Tudor Prince Date+Day is still in production and can still be bought brand new from a Tudor AD? It's been a common misconception that this watch has been discontinued and can only be secured as a vintage piece from the secondary market.
Exactly right still in production ! Only sold in the Asia markets and listed on the Tudor websites for the China, Macau & Hong Kong region. Since 2020 the Tudor DD as well as the Tudor Date (34mm) comes with a Sellita movements.
Hi Peter. That was a great video, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The Tudor Prince Date+Day is a beautiful watch. I have had my eye on it for a few months now in the same dial colour you have. They seem hard to come by, even on Chrono24. Is that model now discontinued? I want to ask your opinion/advice on something? Is this Tudor a good compromise for someone who lusts after a Rolex Datejust 36, but can't justify the additional expenditure? Will it scratch that itch?
It depends, if you are after a ROLEX, then everything else will be a band-aid for you. As for this watch scratching that itch..its got all of the DNA without the high price tag of precious metals (albeit it does have a solid white gold fluted bezel) Can I justify the price difference..for me NO, for you, you have to make that choice. I purchased a Rolex OP last year in 36mm and a standalone its a great watch. Did I buy it because its a "Rolex"?..no..I got it because its a nice watch that I had my eye on At the end of the day, its up to you 👍
@@axwell955 I believe the model Peter has in this video is the 2005 Tudor Prince Date-Day ref 76214. They are currently going for approximately 3500GBP with box and papers on the usual big online marketplaces, which is a huge increase compared to last year. It's a beautiful watch and it certainly seems to be more rare than a Rolex Datejust. The problem for me has always been if you have 3500GBP to spend on a Tudor, you're almost in Rolex territory so why not go the extra mile.
I hope its not Trevor from GTA 5 🤣🤣🤣 That Tudor looks the same quallity as Rolex doesnt matter if its homage when its same owner of both brands. Wear it in good health Peter.

Gorgeous piece and a great story. Love it on that strap too.
Beautiful Tudor. And looking forward to future reviews with you other new purchases. Cheers Mate
More to come! 👍
What a beauty! A day date you can daily wear without worry. Put it on a stainless president style bracelet and it will look killer.
absolutely stunning watch and story mate ! Ive been eyeing a two tone , fluted bezel 36 or 38mm Tudor prince date for ages. Will pick one up this year! Will try to get the jumbo but those are way harder to come by
Hi Thomas. I believe the guys at Del-Ray run a 'waiting list' for the jumbo Tudor Prince Day and/or Date-Day. At least they were a few months back... And they don't tend to price gouge by the looks of it.

Congrats Bro ! Nice one and love this kind of events. Please enjoy your new babies. Cheers!
Thanks! Will do 👍
This version of the date and day on top is done by no one better. Perfect symmetry, coloration and style.
its in same company and movement as rolex, i'd prefer rolex dial but it costs a lot more.
Love this watch and loved the story. Also thanks for showing the instant day change at 2:09 I’ve been wondering for a while whether it’s an instant change.
Awesome watches and great story. Way to go Trevor
