Wear your cheapest watch when shopping for another watch. If the sales assistant treats you with disdain then buy from elsewhere. Don’t have the dial on the inside of your wrist. That’s silly. If you’re gonna remove links, remove them from each side equally so the buckle sits centrally on the other side of your wrist. If you enjoy having the seconds hand of a chronograph run then let it. If it’s automatic then that’s fine, doesn’t have to point at 12 all the time. Always find something nice to say about other peoples watches, even if you don’t like them (or their watches) My biggest one. How your watch sits on your wrist in relation to your ulnar styloid (the nobbly bit on the little finger side of your wrist). Distal, proximal or over it. I still haven’t figured this one out and it kills me.
If anyone who's not a watch nerd says "That's a nice watch" just say thanks. Continuing will lead to vacant looks, glazed eyes, and the other person looking at the time on their phone, and telling you they must rush to a dental appointment they've just invented.
I have been fooled by so many people wearing Invicta! I'll say, hey thats a nice watch! Thinking its a Longines or something and then they'll go "Oh, this is an Invicta!" And in my head I am just palming my face. Only once, have I complimented someone who had a nice watch and they were wearing a Tag Heuer Dual Time that they had bought themselves as a graduation gift.

The «Looking at the watch during conversation» can be a powerful tool. At work people tend to trap me between meetings, in the hallways or at the coffee machine. This is a non-scheduled meeting, I have limited time. If its so important they can send an E-Mail or book an actual meeting. One glance at the watch and they know they’re stealing time. On the flipside it gives the watch another function than timetelling, its a symbol, to get in line, that there are other more important matters.
At my job I have a guy that doesn't take hints like that. Even if you interrupt him and say 'I have to join another meeting ' he still continues to talk, sometimes saying 'have a little patience'
There's an exception on the "don't wear your watch over you clothing" rule: if you're wearing a skintight neoprene diving suit, air tanks, weighted belt, mask, and flippers, and you're going to dive into an actual body of water. If this outfit is your sartorial choice for taking the bus to Ealing do not wear your watch over the suit, it'll look silly.
If Wang x H&M was a good neoprene exception, what would the watch be? Please, don't answer with Hublots or Invictas! I'm actually wearing one (a parka)
Saturday morning it’s time to mow the lawn. Living in the Caribbean, one has to protect yourself from the Sun. My outfit consists of long jeans, hiking shoes, long sleeve beach type T-Shirt, gloves, a hat, goggles… Oh! And OVER the long sleeve behind the gloves, my Casio G-Shock GWM5610. Can’t blame me for breaking your second rule.
@@Roberto68n i live in the Mojave desert, I understand the need to either cover up or to plaster yourself with SPF50 sunblock. I still don't wear my watch over my clothing. Whatever works for you.
When I was driving Corvettes in GT endurance racing, I wore my watch ⌚ on the outside of my driver's suit in order to to be ready for the next pit stop. We didn't have radios in the car 🚗 àt that time to communicate with me pit crew.
Other than "commander" and Saturn V, also you can wear your watch over the shirt sleeve if your title is "Lawyer" and your name is "Gianni Agnelli", who famously wore both his ploprof and his Patek 1415hu over the sleeve (and he was doing it in order to avoid the sleeve to be consumed rubbing against the watch). Oh, and who also owned Ferrari, Maserati, Lancia, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Innocenti, Autobianchi etc etc... My rule? Try to associate colors well: and no, black boots don't go well with blue belt and brown strap. So, belt/shoes/strap should be, if not the same color, at least be well amalgamated.
Maaan! I loved this video! 😂🙈 I’m afraid I’ve broken 1 & 2. I love wearing my Cartier tank a bit more loose! The tank solo on the bracelet can feel more like pretty jewellery so sometimes I wear it loose. 🙈 and for number 2, when I’m cycling I love wearing my watch over my sleeve! Then I can actually see the time without moving extra tight lycra! 😂🙈
Ha. I wear my training watch too over my sleeve in winter when I am out running. But not sure my Polar can be called a watch, probably more like a training device linked to a heart rate monitor.
@@travelandwatches8 😂😂🙈 whatever you’re comfortable in I think! I always kinda felt like… THERE ARE NO RULES! Collect what ya love! Wear it how ya like! You’ve got a tiny amount of time on this floating rock in space… do what you like!
I’m so sad that I wear my sleeve over my watch when cycling in case I fall. I’d rather damage my clothes than my watch. And if I need to find out the time I stop and have a look
You are a comedian coupled with your watch expertise is truly entertaining! It’s really refreshing to have someone that is so knowledgeable about time pieces not being so snobbish and condescending! Thank you!
* Adventure travel and expensive watches don't mix. * Never buy a watch from a television shopping channel. * Don't discuss your watch with a potential girlfriend (unless it's Jenni or Britt).
One person who notoriously wore watches outside of his shirt cuff was Gianni Agnelli, once president of such enterprises as FIAT, Scuderia Ferrari and Juventus, but I think it was more like "I have enough money to do whatever tf I want". Your comment grouping the esthetics of AP, RM and Hublot was so funny (mainly because it is also very true).
This was very entertaining - I especially connected with the "too tight/loose" watch on the wrist. It triggers me so bad, and it really shouldn't...but it does 😅
Do you live in London mate? I've walked through all the time in South London and never was even attempted to be robbed, if you look like a target you will be a target, the more of a force you look like the less likely this will happen.
I think the sizing advice is not good because it doesn’t necessarily work for smooth metal bracelets, for example mine is tight enough because I cannot slide my i finger under it, but, the whole watch still slides down to the bone at the wrist! Additionally if I do a push-up or sprain my wrist the same bracelet WILL constrict my arm AND leave a mark.. so ..yeah I think it’s appropriately sized but it STILL slides down to the wrist
same. my wrist expands and contracts a lot and my wrist bone isn’t prominent as others. so a heavy watch can slide, but taking out a link makes it too uncomfortable. As long as it’s not doing a full 360 around my wrist, i call it a win.
Re:Rule Number 3, Fitbit actually solved this for me! They make a model called the Luxe which is thin and can get thin bracelet-like attachments to make it fit nicely in a bracelet stack on the opposite wrist. Then you can turn off the always on display (so you have to aggressively tap it to see the time), and turn off notifications. Now, I basically just use it for fitness and sleep tracking and still wear a mechanical watch regularly.
I wear my watches loose on a bracelet. Don't know why but it feels just right for me. Probably because 'just right' means I have to dig through 3 layers of clothes to read the time most of the year
i wear two watches often in my own house, because i like them ... and i like to compare them ... occasionally i go out like this accidentally and am mortified.
Gianni Agnelli remains the only person who could pull off the watch over a sleeve look. Thanks for the great content. Subscribed before the video even began.
one way to get the best of "two watches" is to use a NATO strap and have 2 watches on the one strap, smart watch under the wrist..swiss watch on top.. blows your Rolex GMT out of the water for features.. got that off T.G.V
Rule #1 Always keep your Vostok on a winder. Makes them more accurate after a year and easier than setting the date when you haven't worn it for awhile.
Watches in the shower was always a weird one for me. Why subjugate it to such risk with all that heat and steam - plus, will your wrist ever truly be clean?
I wear an oversized g-shock over my sleeve when wearing a thick polar hoodie in my cold house. The hoodie has sleeve retainers that make it hard to dig out the watch when it's on the wrist, and if I pull the sleeve up I get unevenly cold on one wrist compared to the other. And come on, it's a g-shock, I've been shoveling snow today with the thing on my sleeve, it didn't care, so I won't either.
The first 3 all got me, but I've got a good excuse! One watch I'm thinking of selling for put out of sight for about a month to see how it felt, and when I put it back on finally, I found it too loose. Guess I lost weight, need to resize it, but no time before work, so loose it is for now. And I'm going to be inside the Arctic Circle come late January, and I'm going to wear my watch on the outside of my sleeve. I'm not pulling up my sleeve to check the time in sub zero Fahrenheit temps! And I wear a watch on each wrist, fun watch on the left, smart on the right. Really only want to track health stuff, and the smartwatch was expensive and before I got back into watches, so I'm wearing both for now. When it dies, I'll probably replace it with a ring instead, no need for 2 watches.
The only person I'm aware of that can pull of the smart-watch-double-wristing look is Harry Metcalfe. The combination of his age and the Panerai on the other wrist might play a role there I suppose.
A personal one for me, when going on vacation and taking the three watch roll with me, I like to give myself as much variety as practically possible. Only one watch per brand, and I like to include one of any style; such as diver, field, casual, and dress, for example.
Completely agree about the don't check your watch during a conversation. And how the hell did it even became a thing to wear a watch over your sleeve ?
Ha ha... I wear my 35mm Tissot PRX exactly the way you've shown I shouldn't... Except that I'm lefty and I wear watches on my right wrist. So no crown digging anywhere. And I really like it. The PRX worn loose is so comfortable, its amazing. Generally, I tend to wear my light and smaller watches pretty loose, but those larger and heavier pieces have to sit "just right" as you said.
I prefer my watches loose and below the wrist bone. Much more comfy for me. Not to mention it looks a bit goofy when I see people walking around wearing their watches up by the elbow. Little silly!
I used to only wear G-Shocks, not the Casioaks, but the original GA-110s. If u had one on your wrist in my place back in the days you would literally be the cool kid on the block so I was really glad I had one. Until I realized I would look like a dork wearing that one with, say, a suit. Not to say those who wear them with a suit and tie look bad though. They can look really great! But personally for my small wrist I don't think it would be really fit to wear it for an interview lol, not to mention my cuffs aren't meant for a watch that size
Plastic watches with a suit. Especially a dark suit. I have known some fresh out of school young accountants and attorneys, where all ‘partner track’ at a large firm… And what ways ‘killed it’ for me was: 1. Plastic, digital watches (yes, some swatches are clean - dialed mechanical)…. 2. Wrap around mirror lenses (orange in particular), that are meant for use during a triathlon. Suit and tie? Mechanical watch. Leather or metal band. And sunglasses? If your glasses are the same brand name as the athletic shoes you work out in - no. Suit and tie are ‘analog’…your accessories should also be. Even no tie, but a sports coat is analog.
Andrew mate, the opening is so hilariously funny 😆. Frankly, there were a few years I wore two watches, one on each wrist 🤷🏼♂️. Yet I had a very good excuse….
One thing to remember is that your wrist tends to "swell' a tiny bit as the day goes on by the evening, so a bit loose in the morning (not dangling loose) is fine, specially metal bracelets. Better to have some wiggle room in the morning.
Wiggle room in the morning is for another part of your anatomy mate, your wrist doesn't swell in the heat so much that it excuses loose wearing it looks as Andrew stated here.
I don't really have any watch rules. However I know most people would find the way I wear my watches too tight, I did do the whole traditional and smart watch thing for a bit but I found it defeated my purpose for wearing a traditional watch in the first place (a way to have a grounding device when anxious) because my smart watch would just inevitably make me anxious. I also have broken the smart phone / looking at watch rule around close friends (they know I do it as a way to control anxiety when it kicks up so around them not so much a faux pas, I don't do it around people I'm less close to I just find other ways to fidget) - so yeah I definitely have a long stay in watch jail!
I think rule 5 can be excused under one circumstance: if the very topic you happen to be discussing is the watches you're wearing. Feel free to whip it out and show it-- the watch, that is. Rule 6: wear what you want. Wear what you like. Don't let others tell you what that's supposed to be.
@@andreleverettejr3747 I think the people who wear illegal replicas aren't bothered by "the rules". They just want a timepiece that looks like something expensive and I assume they don't care as much for watches per se. (Disclaimer: this is all assumption.)
Usually, only dress watches and tool watches on specialized straps (NATO, bund strap or rubber diving strap) are supposed to be worn "above-the-bone". Wearing watch on a shiny metal bracelet above-the-bone defies the whole purpose of the shiny metal bracelet. Metal bracelet is a jewelry, no matter how brutal it may look. Wearing a luxury watch on heavy metal bracelet below-the-bone is a subtle flex (or a parody of a subtle flex in a case of Invicta Bolt). It is the same type of flex as wearing Converse High Tops with a 3-piece suit like David Tennant's Doctor Who.
Quantumphysichs lecture is all well and good, I listen to them sometimes while scrapping in the garage.. However I fail to see the kardashians ever attending one. When it's not a quantum lecture I listen to it's usually a playlist from a pair of talking hands in the background.
As a watch collector, I almost always wear two watches, one on each wrist. Mechanical, vintage, quartz, big, small, whatever fits the mood or my outfit. No smartwatches though. Live is to short to just enjoy one watch a day😎
Andrew won't tell you which wrist to wear your watch on. I will. If you're right handed it goes on your left wrist. Left handed? You got it, right wrist. Seeing as watches have been in a bit of a resurgence, I don't think many getting into it ever had anybody to tell them. Non-dominant wrist, people. Also, don't wear it ON your wrist bone. It goes just higher. Andrew did kinda cover that with the flopping around bit cuz it doesn't go on your hand either. But man wrist shots on social media are cringe sometimes for more than just way too tight watches.
Threatening an Invicta around my ankle isn't going to do anything because the Grand Divers are stunning. Now, if you had said a Hublot around my ankle... well, that's different.
Shit 🤦🏾♂️ that last one I’ve done so many times. I haven’t even noticed I was doing it, maybe it’s a short attention span thing? When someone is boring me with some trivial shit about their life my brain wants to watch my watch sweeping for some light relief. Didn’t realise how rude it was… thank you so much 😂😂
I do enjoy wearing my watch just slightly lose, however not too lose that it spins around my wrist. I can squeeze my pinky finger between my wrist and the inner side of the clasp. If I have it any tighter it starts to bother me and end up just not wearing it at all. Just how I feel comfortable with my watch fit
I wear a traditional watch on my left wrist, and a smartwatch on the right. Guilty as charged. BUT. I need to monitor my steps and my heart, and I haven't yet found a smartwatch that is both aesthetically pleasing and effective at its job, and I love traditional watches too much. Hence, I dual wield. Society seems to tolerate people covered in piercings and tattoos, so I guess it will be fine if a guy wears two watches. ;-) Cheers! //Rick (Psst… I'm a subscriber. Be lenient with me!)
I’m guilty of looking at my watch when the other person doesn’t know how to stop talking. And sometimes it still doesn’t work. That’s when I whip out the phone and pretend I have an urgent message to respond to
well... like your series, but... this set of rules... highly disagree... or rather- ignore. For exmpl- tight/loose strap- there are perfectly legit two groups of watch lovers. Add- over sleeve- Mr Agnelli didnt follow youtube advices:)... why should rest of us. But- keep rollin. Great stuff!
Andrew was steeling himself at the end for the inevitable slap. Should be Rule #1 Thou shall not interrupt thy girlfriend/wife talking and gesturing. 🤣
I feel personally attacked - I definitely know the difference between a salad and a dinner fork, but even I am not that fussy with dress watches lolol. Just wear something elegant.. or don't! Your wrist, enjoy your watch :)
It's proper etiquette, at those events you aren't the event, if you show up to a wedding with a RM over your Cuff your taking the moment away from the bride and groom. Or at a funeral, some places you go it's not about you so with respect to you personally sir fuck the "your wrist" when it's not your event to show off
I broke my own watch rule on Saturday. I enlisted myself onto a 5 YEAR wait for a Rolex Explorer 2 (Black dial). I figured a stupid wait was better than a stupid mark-up in the grey market. By the time it arrives I will have gotten over my shame.
Always have a ‘Navy Seal’ watch. By that I don’t mean a military inspired watch I mean one ready no matter the task or time. For me it’s the radio solar powered Casio Oceanus T200. I’m snapping that on while the wife dons her little black dress and we’re both ready in a pinch.
What are your watch rules? Admonish me here!
1. Wear Ballon Bleu 42 to rob the Fed
No gold dress watches with a jogging suit. *SLAP!*
@@michaelcollins2473 Gold sports watches, on the other hand… Tony Soprano style.
My rule is not having any rules and enjoy my life. It's just a watch. Maybe the only rule is, not judging others based on their watches or outfit

Rule #1: Never tell your wife you bought a new watch, and never how much you paid for it.
I can’t tell if this is serious or a joke haha.
Until she finds out... She can use google. Just be honest about it, and about what you can afford if you don't want trouble.
@@attila2246 But then again, asking for forgives is easier than asking for permission lol

ALWAYS compliment on other people's watches. Even if it's an Invicta!

@@AndrewMorganWatches At least they can't sneak up on me, I'll see them coming from a mile away!
@@Hrethgir they’re disguised as Rolex ADs
@@AndrewMorganWatches Well, then, they'll never see me! I can't afford thier games, so I stay away!
Totally agree!! (Do I get extra points for catching the 1965 Beatles reference?)
Yes! Tally them all up at the end of the year 👍
Great tips my man 👏
Im guilty of that last one, ouchh😂I just get so bored sometimes
The only person I'm aware of that can pull of the smart-watch-double-wristing look is Harry Metcalfe. The combination of his age and the Panerai on the other wrist might play a role there I suppose.
A personal one for me, when going on vacation and taking the three watch roll with me, I like to give myself as much variety as practically possible. Only one watch per brand, and I like to include one of any style; such as diver, field, casual, and dress, for example.
This was really good. Made me smile. 😄😁
Thanks 😁
When I am backpacking it's very much easier to wear a g-shock over my shirt so I can easily see our pase but other than that, diving or space I agree
Completely agree about the don't check your watch during a conversation. And how the hell did it even became a thing to wear a watch over your sleeve ?
If there’s one things humans can be relied upon for its to try things they shouldnt
👏👏👏 for the Beatles lyrics. 👍
You seem somewhat liberated. Great!
A practical application for double-wristing: not having a GMT watch and working a job that requires UTC coordination.
15th Century painter - brilliant!
Ha ha... I wear my 35mm Tissot PRX exactly the way you've shown I shouldn't... Except that I'm lefty and I wear watches on my right wrist. So no crown digging anywhere. And I really like it. The PRX worn loose is so comfortable, its amazing. Generally, I tend to wear my light and smaller watches pretty loose, but those larger and heavier pieces have to sit "just right" as you said.
That sounds like watch probation at least 🤔
I prefer my watches loose and below the wrist bone. Much more comfy for me. Not to mention it looks a bit goofy when I see people walking around wearing their watches up by the elbow. Little silly!
I used to only wear G-Shocks, not the Casioaks, but the original GA-110s. If u had one on your wrist in my place back in the days you would literally be the cool kid on the block so I was really glad I had one.
Until I realized I would look like a dork wearing that one with, say, a suit.
Not to say those who wear them with a suit and tie look bad though. They can look really great! But personally for my small wrist I don't think it would be really fit to wear it for an interview lol, not to mention my cuffs aren't meant for a watch that size
Plastic watches with a suit. Especially a dark suit.
I have known some fresh out of school young accountants and attorneys, where all ‘partner track’ at a large firm…
And what ways ‘killed it’ for me was:
1. Plastic, digital watches (yes, some swatches are clean - dialed mechanical)….
2. Wrap around mirror lenses (orange in particular), that are meant for use during a triathlon.
Suit and tie? Mechanical watch. Leather or metal band. And sunglasses? If your glasses are the same brand name as the athletic shoes you work out in - no.
Suit and tie are ‘analog’…your accessories should also be. Even no tie, but a sports coat is analog.
Andrew mate, the opening is so hilariously funny 😆. Frankly, there were a few years I wore two watches, one on each wrist 🤷🏼♂️. Yet I had a very good excuse….
😂 thanks!
Jingle jangle… bit Saville 😂
Ooh err!
The last HARD slap ... that killed me! I think I watched it 12 thousand times. LOL
It’s my wife’s new message tone 😁
Fantastic !
One thing to remember is that your wrist tends to "swell' a tiny bit as the day goes on by the evening, so a bit loose in the morning (not dangling loose) is fine, specially metal bracelets. Better to have some wiggle room in the morning.
Wiggle room in the morning is for another part of your anatomy mate, your wrist doesn't swell in the heat so much that it excuses loose wearing it looks as Andrew stated here.
@@andreleverettejr3747 I meant wiggle room, not loose wearing.
I don't really have any watch rules. However I know most people would find the way I wear my watches too tight, I did do the whole traditional and smart watch thing for a bit but I found it defeated my purpose for wearing a traditional watch in the first place (a way to have a grounding device when anxious) because my smart watch would just inevitably make me anxious. I also have broken the smart phone / looking at watch rule around close friends (they know I do it as a way to control anxiety when it kicks up so around them not so much a faux pas, I don't do it around people I'm less close to I just find other ways to fidget) - so yeah I definitely have a long stay in watch jail!
There’s a permanent place in watch jail for people like you 😂
@@AndrewMorganWatches I'm actually happy to be there. We can all nerd out over our oddball quirks! :P
@@ColinLack maybe watch jail is where the real party is at 😂
I think rule 5 can be excused under one circumstance: if the very topic you happen to be discussing is the watches you're wearing. Feel free to whip it out and show it-- the watch, that is.
Rule 6: wear what you want. Wear what you like. Don't let others tell you what that's supposed to be.
That would include replicas then
@@andreleverettejr3747 I think the people who wear illegal replicas aren't bothered by "the rules". They just want a timepiece that looks like something expensive and I assume they don't care as much for watches per se. (Disclaimer: this is all assumption.)
Usually, only dress watches and tool watches on specialized straps (NATO, bund strap or rubber diving strap) are supposed to be worn "above-the-bone". Wearing watch on a shiny metal bracelet above-the-bone defies the whole purpose of the shiny metal bracelet. Metal bracelet is a jewelry, no matter how brutal it may look. Wearing a luxury watch on heavy metal bracelet below-the-bone is a subtle flex (or a parody of a subtle flex in a case of Invicta Bolt). It is the same type of flex as wearing Converse High Tops with a 3-piece suit like David Tennant's Doctor Who.
what do you have against invicta?
The wrist slaps could be the start of a third channel! 😂
Ohhhh... I love my Invictas! 😲
My rule 1: Don't take advice from TH-cam self-proclaimed pundits🙂. I had a good chuckle as always.
I’d amend that to say,”Watch self-proclaimed YT watch “pundits” for entertainment purposes only. Watches are fun & so is their punditry.
My advice was to ignore my advice so that means you must comply 😆
Haha great video. Agree with all of these 😂
Quantumphysichs lecture is all well and good, I listen to them sometimes while scrapping in the garage.. However I fail to see the kardashians ever attending one.
When it's not a quantum lecture I listen to it's usually a playlist from a pair of talking hands in the background.
As a watch collector, I almost always wear two watches, one on each wrist. Mechanical, vintage, quartz, big, small, whatever fits the mood or my outfit. No smartwatches though. Live is to short to just enjoy one watch a day😎
When I'm outside skiing I wear it over the sleeve, so I can you know, tell the time.
Time to ski!
Andrew won't tell you which wrist to wear your watch on. I will. If you're right handed it goes on your left wrist. Left handed? You got it, right wrist. Seeing as watches have been in a bit of a resurgence, I don't think many getting into it ever had anybody to tell them. Non-dominant wrist, people.
Also, don't wear it ON your wrist bone. It goes just higher. Andrew did kinda cover that with the flopping around bit cuz it doesn't go on your hand either. But man wrist shots on social media are cringe sometimes for more than just way too tight watches.
Threatening an Invicta around my ankle isn't going to do anything because the Grand Divers are stunning. Now, if you had said a Hublot around my ankle... well, that's different.
"Spode" was the villain in P.G. Wodehouse's "Code of the Woosters." If your Spode knew the reference -- it's even worse than you think.
Oh god 😅
So why is it that one setting is too tight and the next is fall off my wrist? Are watch bands secretly designed to put me in watch jail?
It’s all a conspiracy to see you behind bars!
Shit 🤦🏾♂️ that last one I’ve done so many times. I haven’t even noticed I was doing it, maybe it’s a short attention span thing? When someone is boring me with some trivial shit about their life my brain wants to watch my watch sweeping for some light relief. Didn’t realise how rude it was… thank you so much 😂😂
I know, right? And I love the way all of my watches look, so it's an "Ooh, shiny!" moment for sure.
@@waffle911 glad I’m not alone in this 😂 watches are a nice distraction when people are talking shit
Report to your watch probation officer in the morning!
Genius as always 🤣🤣
Thanks 😁
Hilarious! Loved this
Thanks 😁
Another exception to the rule of watch over shirt, is if your name is Gianni Agnelli
Intro gave me “Allo Allo” vibes😂
😆
“Listen very carefully, I will say this only once.” 😆
Good Beatles reference
Thanks!
I do enjoy wearing my watch just slightly lose, however not too lose that it spins around my wrist.
I can squeeze my pinky finger between my wrist and the inner side of the clasp. If I have it any tighter it starts to bother me and end up just not wearing it at all.
Just how I feel comfortable with my watch fit
I think it makes sense to let the blood get to your hand!
Agreed. This is why I like deployant clasps - they allow a loose fit without letting the watch slide around to the inside of the wrist
Did I just witness an episode of the talking hands got slapped 5 times? Or that's someone else's hand lol
Very much my hand 😅
Driver's watch would be perfect for checking time and no-one would notice! 😂
No need for turning your wrist! 😎
I love your cooky humour . You're amazing 😁🤣
😆 thanks!
Please, please don't ever wear a watch with the face on the inside of your wrist aka John wick....
Why tho
@@pedramtajeddini5100 you'll scratch the hell out of the face for starters...
One like from Latvia. 👍
I have my watch on my left wrist and my trackeron my right wrist. I never check the time on my tracker. I am fine.
Perhaps Spode was a fan of fine pottery?
I wear a traditional watch on my left wrist, and a smartwatch on the right. Guilty as charged. BUT. I need to monitor my steps and my heart, and I haven't yet found a smartwatch that is both aesthetically pleasing and effective at its job, and I love traditional watches too much. Hence, I dual wield. Society seems to tolerate people covered in piercings and tattoos, so I guess it will be fine if a guy wears two watches. ;-)
Cheers! //Rick
(Psst… I'm a subscriber. Be lenient with me!)
I’m guilty of looking at my watch when the other person doesn’t know how to stop talking. And sometimes it still doesn’t work. That’s when I whip out the phone and pretend I have an urgent message to respond to
well... like your series, but... this set of rules... highly disagree... or rather- ignore. For exmpl- tight/loose strap- there are perfectly legit two groups of watch lovers. Add- over sleeve- Mr Agnelli didnt follow youtube advices:)... why should rest of us. But- keep rollin. Great stuff!
Hilarious. Love it.
Hilarious. Invicta, smart watch, what are these things. Explain please?😂😂😂😂😂
Best to stay naive!
@@AndrewMorganWatches 😂😂😂
I may have broken the last rule a fue times 😅. I promise to watch my manners
I knew I recognized those hands from another channel.
You did indeed 😂
Hmm… late style icon Gianni Agnelli wore his watch at times over his shirt sleeve.
Unless you’re as cool as he, JAIL
Wearing an Invicta sounds like hell, I promise I'd adhere to these rules :(
Annnd I already broke one*
Straight to watch jail
When I am with my ar*e of a mother in law I ALWAYS check the time mid sentence. Never fails to wind her up, Childish - but oh so satisfying.
oohh.. good idea!.. gonna try that.
😂
Andrew was steeling himself at the end for the inevitable slap. Should be Rule #1 Thou shall not interrupt thy girlfriend/wife talking and gesturing. 🤣
I feel personally attacked - I definitely know the difference between a salad and a dinner fork, but even I am not that fussy with dress watches lolol. Just wear something elegant.. or don't! Your wrist, enjoy your watch :)
It's proper etiquette, at those events you aren't the event, if you show up to a wedding with a RM over your Cuff your taking the moment away from the bride and groom. Or at a funeral, some places you go it's not about you so with respect to you personally sir fuck the "your wrist" when it's not your event to show off
You must be old money 😂
Guessing your version of watch jail entails offenders being forced to assemble various Invicta watches
I broke my own watch rule on Saturday. I enlisted myself onto a 5 YEAR wait for a Rolex Explorer 2 (Black dial). I figured a stupid wait was better than a stupid mark-up in the grey market. By the time it arrives I will have gotten over my shame.
We’ll be wearing moon boots and driving hover cars in five years!
@@AndrewMorganWatches Good job I own a speedmaster then 😂
@@DaveJohnson 😂
Always have a ‘Navy Seal’ watch.
By that I don’t mean a military inspired watch I mean one ready no matter the task or time.
For me it’s the radio solar powered Casio Oceanus T200. I’m snapping that on while the wife dons her little black dress and we’re both ready in a pinch.
