I'll take the Earnshow, because I already have an Omega Speedmaster. No just kiding, I'll chose another Omega. No, just kiding, I don't have an Omega and cannot afford a first one. I'll take a Cadisen, sir.
@@charlie-obrien I'm saving money to buy a sport car, so I don't want to put that amount in a watch. Also, I'm really happy with my Seiko Cocktail Time Blue Moon...
I bought that exact same Speedmaster from a UK high street jeweller 2 weeks ago (by far the most expensive watch I ever bought and it's fabulous). What a pity you didn't do this review a few weeks ago - would definitely have bought the Earnshaw instead - all that quality and heritage! :-)
Troy Nasello well, for that price the watch can give a lot of happiness to million people... I don’t love it, but for 50€ you can have a seiko movement in a diver. I understand people who like it
Hi i was thinking of buying an Earnshaw watch. I’m not worried about the price. But do you think it’s a safe company to buy from? Like will it break after a year or something like that?
So Thomas Earnshaw have made a $4300 watch, then only made 280 of them, and still have no problem handing them out for free. Something doesn't add up...
Their target is not the knowledgeable collector. It's the fashion show-off who has no idea about the real value of a watch. Build a few hundred watches for $20 each and If you manage to sell at least 2 or 3 for thousands you've already made a huge profit. The bigger the scam the most effective.
Their "marketing" technique is to have the watches at full price for a few days and then go on 70-80% discount. It is the same thing for so&co, august steiner, Invicta etc. Honestly, i don't know what they thought sending their watches to all TH-camrs lately, but hey at least now we know which ones are real reviewers and which are not. Thanks Jody for keeping true to your beliefs and offering us unbiased and proper reviews!
I would imagine this is the type of watch that you would pull out of a watch gang $99 per month subscription. It looks cool it technically retails for higher than you $99 subscription price but you can never move the watch unless you want to take an L on it
Tough, but fair. No expletives. You could get 2 Ginaults for that ticket! I dunno your pattern, Jody, but I'd at least do the solid thing and send this one back to them.
I've always heard others say, "if you don't have anything nice to say, to not say anything at all." Thankfully I've not yet adopted that motto. There is very little to like about that watch and loads to properly dislike. You were as kind as a gentleman can be, and that's the main reason so many of us enjoy watching your videos. On the plus side, I'm definitely not running out to buy this one, which is normally a big temptation with many of your other videos. 😁😂🤣
@@charlie-obrien Not necessarily. Tudor used ETA until just recently and in some cases changed more for their pieces. The quality control is surely different :) and the prestige of the Tudor brand (I mean... Rolex...) is at a completely different level than this watch.
Where's the minutes track?... It's going to be a bit difficult to use the chronograph properly and accurately without a minutes/seconds track. Great video and review.
I'm making a chronometer escapement for my watch. More specifically I'm using Thomas Earnshaw's brilliant variation of the spring detention escapement. I've just uploaded my first video of the watch build. Hopefully I can spread some light on the real "Earnshaw".
Thanks for another wonderful review. Don't mind if you conduct a check for me? Does the chronograph's minute counter advance at 59 second? My watch with the same movement does that...
You just earned my respect as a reviewer!!! - i must admit i was skeptical after you didn't use the timegrapher on the Nodus. But today I offer my apologies. Well done sir!. If you have a fan mail address I would like to send one of my 3D Printed watch stands to show my support.
Speechless. The question is: How much do you think you can get when you try and sell the one that you have? Be quick, I think they'll soon be marking down their stock.
Took a punt on a Tevise (hulk) a real piece of- I love it. A watch with "fake" words on the dial- can't beat that. Love your channel. In the bookcase Eddie Irvine book good on you.. Big F1 fan. Thanks for all you do!!!
Randomly re-watching this today and caught at the end "keep the expletives to a minimum" because you knew no one would like this thing for that price. Great review.
Thanks for another honest review. Being a fellow tight fisted scotsman, i'd not pay more than £200 for the watch. How they expect to sell them for post £3k is beyond belief. Think you hit the nail on the head, the sales people must be on drugs!
Jody, great video!! I ACTUALLY own one Earnshaw watch, gifted to me by my wife. Teh watch is not a beauty, but is fairly decent, very toned-down from the on you received. First it has one of does chinese movements, which works ok, not great because the winding system is almost non-existant, you better hand-wind it to be sure it will work all day. But the must important part is that beeing a Thomas Earnshaw, it cost no more than 48 british pounds, not a penny more ( the MSRP in their website says 285 british pounds, which would be ridiculous). I agree that their business model is "a la Invicta". Have to add, I enjoyed your video while wearing my Thomas Earnshaw Westminster!!!! Great job!!
Madness. Outside of the movement, this is a £200 watch - basic case with absolute minimum finishing, singledome crystal with cheap 1layer AR, cheap handset and dial, cheap strap.. The movement is the only actually expensive thing in this.
Ha..."high on crack" love it....funny guy.... nice of them to let you keep it..put it straight on ebay and use it to fund more great vids...great review perfect to wake up to on a saturday morning. .thanks pal.
Jody, I don't necessarily think you should send it back, but what exactly will you do with it if you keep it? This thing should have an Invicta logo instead of Earn...whatever the name was. Funny and candid review.
Hello Jody, I heard you say "Hello and welc",,, when I saw the shirt you are wearing and thought to myself, a fellow trekkie,, good form. Oh yes, the watch... The dail was all too busy and would make me panic.
I like the black/gold/purple combo, but goodness, for that price, they couldn't do real exotic leather instead of embossed cow leather, pile some extra lume on if they're doing any of it, and get it down to 12 mm or 13 mm thick?
No offence to Jody, but it doesn't inspire confidence that a company is sending free watches to youtubers with subscriber numbers in the 10s of thousands. The amount of reach needed to get similarly priced pieces from Omega, for example, is at minimum 20 or so times as much as Jody. And yes, I know I am very late to the party on this one.
Oh my oh my a lot of invicta there isnt it . I'm sure someone will love it . Just not for me . For the price it will always be the speedmaster for me . Great vid and giving a balanced view .
Great review Jodius! Thanks for keeping it real! I don't see how they can sell even one of these! Reminds me of the $15 Forsining 3D Luxury watch on AliExpress.
A who for how much?!?! They’ve got to be kidding, £3k can get you a huge selection of fine watches and if you try say watchfinder you could have Rolex, IWC, Omega, Cartier and even jaeger!! If you buy that Earnshaw your probably already wearing a Daniel wellington.
Fecking love this guy. Long time subscriber here. And that was an amazing and honest review. Sell that crap, buy some detox with that money and mail it to them!
I like EarnShaw, did a video. They do have several Swiss watches also. Not bad for the price. The cheaper ones, that is. I wouldn’t buy the $4,000, but I’d buy a 300
It's strange how the tachymeter says "base 1000m" implying a telemeter, but the numbers definitely correspond to a tachymeter. It looks like someone in the design department screwed up. Telemeters measure how far away a phenomena is. You start the chronograph when you see the phenomena and stop it when you hear it (think lightning and thunder). Based on the speed of sound it tells you how many meters away the phenomenon is. A tachymeter measures how many times a task can be accomplished in an hour. You start the chronograph when the task begins and stop it when the task ends, and the number tells you how many times you can do that task in an hour. Earnshaw must have confused the two...
I appreciate the honesty here, they gave you this watch to keep and you reviewed it honestly. Fair play 👍🏼. I think it’s a ok looking watch but it’s not much better than a seagull 1963 really.
I love the case shape from the side, really nice, quite unusual, but thats where it stops. It looks like a routine fashion watch that can be picked up for £300 on any High Street. I wouldn't pay 300 for it though, and definitely not 3000! Who would push past most of the Tudor range to get to this?
Henk Van de Goor my goodness you are annoying. You must work for this company. The watch is ugly and overpriced in my opinion. It looks gaudy, as do many Invicta timepieces.
I do like this watch. I really like the brand myself. I have one of the LD Lapidary Tiger Iron and Love it the packing was great too. Ive have been wanting another of their automatics. Like the Meteorite dials would love that. but at the price of this one well sorry to say it should have cost less. Oh and if you don't want that ONE I'll Take it for Sure. and Review it myself, Hoping i can Keep It Thank You and great Reviews.
I remember wanting to buy an earnshaw for a while, and I saw the absolute insane pricing on them, then I later discovered that they were on like 70% sale or so. Something didn't add up. So, I bought a hamilton jazzmaster instead.
😲😲😲😲 Mushrooms!!!!! Magic ones, that's what the pricing department is on, as well as crack!!! And if I see one of the 250 on anybodies wrist I'll be making the assumption they too are stoners. I mean, seriously!!! WTF?
Great video. There is a small slew of brands that have similar pricetags. Needs a magnifier to see if its really worth compared to established brands , and it is not.
Stick an NH36 movement in it, take the chrono away, and it's worth about $120. For the record, ETA use Sellita to make some of their movements under license
I've been thinking of getting a nice automatic chronograph, and I have my pick of established brands for half the price of that Earnshaw. Even if you want a proper limited edition, you can get a Sinn 103 green dial, limited to 500 pieces for only $3,000.
Hello Jody Excellent review as always. For that kind of money I would imagine that unless you loved the style , it will struggle to sell. Have you a ever reviewed an Alpina ? I have just acquired an AL- 750 chronograph and the quality is very good and the price of these are very competitive. Keep up the good work Dave , uk
Speaking about value, does anyone have any experience with the San Martin brand on Aliexpress? Just looking at the specs on some of there watches alone, they look like an excellent value for money. I'm particularly tempted by their bronze diver with an ETA for around $400. I would way rather gamble on that than buy the Earnshaw, thats for sure.
I own a 1861 hesalite Omega speedmaster, that thing is way cool and a bargain can be had if you shop around. Buy that if you got anny sence, you can get some money for one of those if you do try to sell it.
This came up in my suggested videos so thought I'd take a look at the Thomas Earnshaw website. No surprise to see most of their watches are priced between £100-£500, not sure I'd even buy one at that price but at least it's not over three grand FFS!
Reminds me of the watches sold on german shopping television. "Retail 2500 Euros, now, special sale for only 179" and they sold cheap millionsmart 10 Bucks Automatic watches that looked pretty much like this one...
if it was a bit thinner, the dial looks rather interesting, but unless the case is made of gold it's not worth that much. The brand doesn't have what it takes so far. Could find 4 watches on chrono24 under 200$. not a good sign.
I've bern looking at the skeleton as it caught my eye, but trying to find some information is proving quite difficult. I own a lovely Omega Seamaster De Ville, I know it's not a chronograph, but as a dress watch, it beats the Earnshaw hands down & and you can pick one up for half that price of three grand.
As someone who purchased an Earnshaw a couple of years ago, I would not take the list price seriously. The watch I purchased cost me $80, but listed for close to $500. Thomas Earnshaw seems to me to do the same pricing scheme as Invicta; ridiculous list price so people feel like they are getting a huge bargain when they locate the watch for a fraction of the list price. As a side note, I absolutely hate the Earnshaw buckle design.
Off topic: This should confirm what I've suspected: well-known bloggers and reviewers receive free watches as freely admitted here. Watch reviews may be biased in the interest of obtaining complementary product. No reflection on this particular review. Just pointing out that free watches are given watches when it likely pays to give free watches. The companies keep tabs on reviewers.
I'll take the Earnshow, because I already have an Omega Speedmaster.
No just kiding, I'll chose another Omega.
No, just kiding, I don't have an Omega and cannot afford a first one. I'll take a Cadisen, sir.
paganizonda51 Had is in the first part, can’t lie
The Speedmaster is my personal 'Grail' watch. I am putting aside a little each month, so that I can give myself one for retirement.

The only nice thing about that watch is the Sellita movement. Looks like it was designed by Invicta. 🤢🤮
That's EXACTLY what I thought! Ha ha! Invicta! What a piece of crap!
Troy Nasello well, for that price the watch can give a lot of happiness to million people... I don’t love it, but for 50€ you can have a seiko movement in a diver. I understand people who like it
"Designed by invicta", those words makes no sense together
Typical fashion watch brand design
That looks like a bad China special. Decent movement or not i wouldn't pay 200 for that monstrosity
Same here and if u swim or shower with the leather band well it's gonna get f'd up

Good honist review. Definitely trying to pull a fast one with this watch.
Love the fact that you do not pull any punches with your review, no matter what’s on the line! Good job Jodi as usual.
Watches are seldom, physically worth £3k+ . The ones that are £3k+ have:
1- high demand,
2- have precious metal, or
3- hand crafting. I think. 😂
And an in house movement.
In the linked video, handcrafting is present at £8k, but not at £2k.

Excellent review as always. For that kind of money I would imagine that unless you loved the style , it will struggle to sell.

Good review. You nailed it.
To a wall......
Speaking about value, does anyone have any experience with the San Martin brand on Aliexpress? Just looking at the specs on some of there watches alone, they look like an excellent value for money. I'm particularly tempted by their bronze diver with an ETA for around $400. I would way rather gamble on that than buy the Earnshaw, thats for sure.
Is it worth buying similar EarnShaw watches if available at £100?
I own a 1861 hesalite Omega speedmaster, that thing is way cool and a bargain can be had if you shop around.
Buy that if you got anny sence, you can get some money for one of those if you do try to sell it.
Honestly? I like it, I'd pay $500-700 Canadian for it. But...
...not $4000.
Spot on review. $1,000 yup. I like it - somewhat. Can think of many other watches I would buy 1st. Thanks again.
Wow. Just. Wow. I totally agree with your assessment.
This came up in my suggested videos so thought I'd take a look at the Thomas Earnshaw website. No surprise to see most of their watches are priced between £100-£500, not sure I'd even buy one at that price but at least it's not over three grand FFS!
That's a no from me. I did get a Laco A dial the other day. Got the 42mm like you suggested. Now to sell me SARY for a SARB.
Great honest review will some real comedy value.
Horrific, as are the majority of Earnshaw watches
Horrific, as are ALL of Earnshaw watches
They have a lot of Ernshaws on Catch. And yes they are not attractive.
Thinking an Invicta would be a suitable alternative, if you like that sort of thing...
Reminds me of the watches sold on german shopping television. "Retail 2500 Euros, now, special sale for only 179" and they sold cheap millionsmart 10 Bucks Automatic watches that looked pretty much like this one...
I actually like the design. Should be solid gold though for that price.
if it was a bit thinner, the dial looks rather interesting, but unless the case is made of gold it's not worth that much. The brand doesn't have what it takes so far. Could find 4 watches on chrono24 under 200$. not a good sign.
Was the Earnshaw logo on the box off center...?
Well done Jody. Well done.
I've bern looking at the skeleton as it caught my eye, but trying to find some information is proving quite difficult. I own a lovely Omega Seamaster De Ville, I know it's not a chronograph, but as a dress watch, it beats the Earnshaw hands down & and you can pick one up for half that price of three grand.
As someone who purchased an Earnshaw a couple of years ago, I would not take the list price seriously. The watch I purchased cost me $80, but listed for close to $500. Thomas Earnshaw seems to me to do the same pricing scheme as Invicta; ridiculous list price so people feel like they are getting a huge bargain when they locate the watch for a fraction of the list price. As a side note, I absolutely hate the Earnshaw buckle design.
Off topic: This should confirm what I've suspected: well-known bloggers and reviewers receive free watches as freely admitted here. Watch reviews may be biased in the interest of obtaining complementary product. No reflection on this particular review. Just pointing out that free watches are given watches when it likely pays to give free watches. The companies keep tabs on reviewers.
