The complement between these two gentlemen and the approach to the plus and minus chapters is excellent, they know a lot about watches and they transmit without arrogance , a pleasure watch this show. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The dynamic between you two is wonderful. I’d love to see it kicked up a notch because it could be comical (in a great way). Also the Pat Riley reference caught me off guard 👏🏼
You two are really very good. Good format, good content, I would suggest you double down on your investment in this channel as the chemistry you have is uncommon. I have seen other channels that have had their own chemistry, then changed up the people and the chemistry was gone… shows how difficult it is to achieve what you have. Best of luck to you!
Love the summer watch choices as I have both. A black G Shock and the Mido Ocean Star Decompression Timer with blue bezel (especially summer-y on the blue strap that comes with it)
Brokeback Mountain meets talking watches! The host is more excited about the guest than the watches they are talking about! You finally look excited about the subject matter.
I pretty much agree with respect to bronze cases. The patina for me, does nothing. I too prefer at least the idea of a silver case such as the BB925, but the patina they exhibit can be unpleasant as well, particularly If there’s a distinct yellow undertone. I own an A385 El Primero, that 4:30 window isn’t for everyone, but it works very well of your open to it. It adds a little visual tension to the design. The Shadow Revival chrono is an a no date example, it looks great. As a rule, I favor no date watches, pretty much every other watch I own is a no date watch, I’d much rather have the date window at 4:30 on the El Primero. The examples with the window at 6:00 tend to be too large for my taste. That aside, something like an Omega Globemaster is a very fine watch and the 6:00 window - superfine.
Great content! What would you recommend is a good and 'affordable' brand dress watch, that allows you to sit with people wearing higher end brands without feeling left out? $3000-4000 and $5000-6000 budget? Thanks!
There’s only one way to judge Bond movies: the cool gear in them. From that perspective, it’s The Spy Who Loved Me. Giugiaro designed Lotus Esprit, with submarine feature. On the wrist, Seiko 0674 5009 with ticker tape messaging capability. And everyone knows Roger Moore was great. Just ask the Japanese photographer in Lost in Translation who schooled Mr Bob Harris.
Hello and thanks for this video. Ming underrated? Are you serious? Have you seen how it is impossible to buy one when a new model is landed? Have you seen how high retail prices are? And, about integrated bracelet, what about no vintage ones?
Really good points. Thomas made the point re construction and quality service. I have not had those experiences, but that episode landed a kidney punch on the brand. I like them and had good experiences, but the reputational hit was substantial.
In terms of best complications, I would look at what is most difficult to achieve; which is generally considered to be a Minute Repeater or Split-Second Chronograph.
Most underratted brand : Montblanc they have héritage from Minerva and Nicolas Rieussec Best 2 tones watch : my Submariner Steel and Gold blue and my DJ41 black dial or Tudor GMT s&g i love 2 tones Swatch X Blancpain best color : white /grey Best complication : perpetual calendar with moonphase and Mareograph from Yema Worst case material : bio ceramic 🤢 Best 007 movie : Goldeneye of course Best summer watch : Norqain wild one turquoise Best date window : 6 o'clock Best integrated bracelet watch : Vacheron Constantin Overseas or Bell and Ross BR 05 and maybe Piaget
AP summer edition RO offshore Byblos edition. Probably going to be my next to last watch if I can ever afford one. Close second is the 5968A with orange strap but the 2X price tag is a bit of a turn off. These two just scream summer to me.
He was looking to close for a date window and sustained nasal trauma. I am a nose doctor (Modern Nose Clinic). We see it all the time in watch aficionados. Just sayin’
Ok Thomas how long are we going to continue perpetuating the customer experience criticism against Ming? I just ordered a strap from Ming, it was lost in transit by FedEx and they replaced it immediately and sent me a nice little something extra for my inconvenience (that wasn’t their fault in the first place)? 2 years? 5 years? Have you had any experience with them recently or are we just regurgitating something that happened (and was a valid criticism years ago) ?
@@tim-lennart3445 lol I’m not giving Ming their flowers for ensuring I receive the watch strap I ordered; I’m saying the customer service was great, even though the carrier lost my package. Thomas implies Ming customer service is sub par and I disagree and question whether he just perpetuates a valid issue from years ago
Carbon fiber cases are no more luxurious than plastic. Filler, resin, mold. Fine for a quartz lcd, upscale Casio for instance, but just ridiculous for a quality mechanical watch.
i think its not okay that you dont tell why your nose was broken. i need a free head for the conversation without asking myself all the time what happened to the nose
Does anyone else see the human versions of Chip and Dale here? These two guys are just two adorable chipmunks who know a lot about watches. ❤
A fantastic series. You guys are great. Always look forward to these.
Much appreciated!
Love the banter between these 2! I want more!

1. Blancpain
2. Rolex GMT Master 2 'rootbeer'
3. Ocean of storms I guess
4. Tourbillon
5. Bronze
6. Casino Royale
7. Squale 1521 Ocean
8. 3 oclock (easy peek from under sleeve)
9. Vacheron Constantin Overseas
Agree on 2, 4, and 9.
7.8.5 agreed
Best concept out there right now. Love the long form content. It would be interesting to get a “vs” show where you go watch vs watch

That Ming watch just keeps stealing my attention.

Buy what you like. If you can't sit with people who wear higher end watches because of the watch you are wearing, fuck them.
My favorite watch segment in all youtube
Thank you!

The guy on the right is the grumpy to the guy on the left side happy. It works though
one of the 7 dwarfs??? haha
Hoodie?
What model Ming is Bal wearing ?
17.09 Burgundy
The oxidation of a silver watch is also caused by the copper in the alloy, that will be at under 5%
This was great, big ups for Goldeneye!
Great guys👍👍👍 thank you… I love it

Agreed, Goldeneye!!
Integrated bracelet: Moser Streamliner.
In terms of best complications, I would look at what is most difficult to achieve; which is generally considered to be a Minute Repeater or Split-Second Chronograph.
Great point 👍
Most underratted brand : Montblanc they have héritage from Minerva and Nicolas Rieussec
Best 2 tones watch : my Submariner Steel and Gold blue and my DJ41 black dial or Tudor GMT s&g i love 2 tones
Swatch X Blancpain best color : white /grey
Best complication : perpetual calendar with moonphase and Mareograph from Yema
Worst case material : bio ceramic 🤢
Best 007 movie : Goldeneye of course
Best summer watch : Norqain wild one turquoise
Best date window : 6 o'clock
Best integrated bracelet watch : Vacheron Constantin Overseas or Bell and Ross BR 05 and maybe Piaget
Fist bump denied, at the end 😂😂😂
Most underrated brand for me is Squale , crazy history , strong character exceptional style
Everytime I see the guy on the right he looks like he fought against Roberto Durán.
Breguet is top shelf. My favorite brand.
AP summer edition RO offshore Byblos edition. Probably going to be my next to last watch if I can ever afford one. Close second is the 5968A with orange strap but the 2X price tag is a bit of a turn off. These two just scream summer to me.
The best place for a date window is no where like Thomas said. 😂
Did Balasz have a fight? He looks beat up.
lol. He always looks like he just went through a ten round fight.
He was looking to close for a date window and sustained nasal trauma. I am a nose doctor (Modern Nose Clinic). We see it all the time in watch aficionados.
Just sayin’
Eberhard and Credor got my vote for most underrated brand(s). Both dont have much brand recognition outside of real enthousiasts.

At least in the EU as a commercial seller, shipping is your risk so you are legally obligated to replace it.

Tom is very touchy today.
Ming had a major booboo in customer service with one release but have more than ironed out these issues - customer service these days is top notch.
Best summer watch? Something from Christopher Ward 👉👌
The guy in brown jacket looks like had a bar fight last night with cut on nose .
Carbon fiber cases are no more luxurious than plastic. Filler, resin, mold. Fine for a quartz lcd, upscale Casio for instance, but just ridiculous for a quality mechanical watch.
Mark Zuckerberg has modeled his latest look on Tom 😊
Best two tone… Glashutte original seaq panodate
Quartz watches need battery changes ...that is what annoys me about it and Iam sure I am not alone
Skyfall is the best Bond film!
i think its not okay that you dont tell why your nose was broken. i need a free head for the conversation without asking myself all the time what happened to the nose
That’s quite nosey of you
why does the guy on the right always looks like he got hit by a bus? alcoholism or some worse?
Let’s be respectful please
Might be an older take, just after his bike accident.
Ball most underrated brand…
Ceramic is frigging terrible
Rolex is the most underrated brand because it's excluded from the holy trinity.
😂
@@tim-lennart3445 I know, it's ridiculous
guy on the right looks kinda funny
Ming terrible name wouldn’t buy
Why are these Ads have other ads inside them. Uneblievable and disgusting that this commercial channel is not commercials free.
