2 notes: 1) Why wouldn;t Cartier have a display caseback with an in-house movement 2) Tim should make the instantaneous minute change on the A. Lange & Sohne Datograph required viewing for each review of that piece
I would have thought so too... till I got my hands on one and bought it. It's beautiful and considering the geology of time in the moon and meteoroids -- very appropriate. Wears great and looks fantastic. Can't take my eyes off it ever. Wore it with a dark grey suit, black turtleneck, and tungsten/meteorite ring just the other day.
@tomtorres7581 No worries. I just imagine they have to give competitive offers to stay in business. They seem legit to me and I love his reviews. I have no affiliations with any watch business.
The reason they review these is because they bought the company…which you may know already. I agree though, high quality, bad aesthetics. And not only do those moving lugs detract from the watches appeal/appearance, I doubt it really make much difference.
I don’t understand the appeal of modern DeBethune. I appreciate they’re technically proficient, but I find them incredibly ugly. Clearly, I’m not the target audience.
@@garyboyle695wtf are you talking about I’ve never heard somebody claim a shorter power reserve is superior (with the exception of constant force escapements)
What’s the difference if you wear the watch everyday and the movement doesn’t stop and having a longer power reserve? No matter what, the more the watch runs the more it wears, and servicing will be needed. The power reserve will eventually stop once it runs out and you wear other watches.
@@garyboyle695 you know how you save on servicing costs? You dont buy watches that you can't afford to service. Casio makes some nice G shocks that might fit your budget.
Power reserve is like engine power for a car, when you don't have enough it's no good. But there becomes a threshold where having more is utterly pointless other than to serve small man syndrome.
Such a huge fan of the Omega brand.
So many watches, not enough money.
Thanks for the episode, Tim.

Do you still have the kingsmen watch
Thanks Tim, but would really love to see more Rolex.....best brand!
22:13 = i knew what it was.
Love the meteorite, just wish it was moonwatch pro sized. It's just a touch too large.
Agreed. My favorite speedy but just too big

“We pay fast, we pay cash..” just not any amount you may find fair.
sorry, if the concept of them being a business, not your friend is something you can't understand.
Shop around... I'm sure they're competitive.
Pardon me as my comment was not meant to offend your employer. Totally understand.

Tim is by far the best. His content is superb.
That DB is awful.. it’s way off in terms of styling.. I appreciate the work that’s gone into it though.. each to their own I guess
There’s some rich guy who wants a Star Trek watch out there

@@greghassen4726And you’re basing that off just looking at it and having no physical experience with it…..,

Id like to fly something so dangerous you cant remove your hands for even 10 seconds
Amazing that Cartier can’t make a longer power reserve.
I'm amazed people don't understand a longer power reserve just means more wear and tear on the movement, costing you more on servicing costs.

Is that really a ceramic case Tim?
