There is nothing noob about appreciating a movement's intricacies through a sapphire display back. I've been staring at them while pondering thoughts for decades. Looking at a piece of engraved metal no matter how finely finished is never as hypnotizing as watching a movement's gears and springs work their symphony.
To me at a $16k price point, you need to have a nicer looking movement. It looks like a Seiko 5 movement. Plus that’s really really pricey. For that price you can get a preowned Lange or Patek with a display back.
I love how marveled you guys were at the concept of a solar powered Cartier when Seiko have been making solar powered Cartier tank lookalikes for years.

Christian, I completely agree with your comment about undecorated movements with display casebacks. For many people, just the pure wonder of a mechanical watch is enough to make even the plainest movement interesting.
Really? A little too much of a homage to all other retro chronos. Add to that the fact that it is top heavy (same height as a Seiko Tuna), It falls below the radar. As these guys said, if it were a manual-wind 12mm, then there would be some “wow!” to it.
14:45. I am happy about the point you make about movements. I may never own a super high-end movement that is 10k or more, but I enjoy and appreciate even my 6R15 Seiko movement as far as the way it looks and watching it move. So somebody like me would love to see a Tudor movement. Some day I plan to get a clear case back for my Datejust. I would love to see that movement everyday.
Awesome I'm almost got 1. The way I would have preferred it is with a 12 hour counter instead of the date window. Still a great watch though. I'm looking into a Tudor Prince Big block chronograph from 1999

You two are my favorite two dorks on the internet right now. Such contrasting style but you get the two of you together and it's like the DBZ fusion dance into a hilarious douchebag.
I think Tudor's display backs were done simply to save money (since cases are precious metal). That said, I love the silver one and don't much like the gold.
Why would they? Its a vintage piece worn by numerous people before, some of them might have been way careless than him. It could even have been taken off a dead persons wrist. Who cares if its still running fine and looks good?
Love the content- a great video idea would be going through your shop and giving brief descriptions about the watches. Would love to hear your thoughts on them
That solid gold Tudor is fugly bullshit. And stupidly expensive. Conversely, the sterling silver one is lovely. Still too expensive, but beautiful and much more reasonable than the gold.
Honestly that tudor is ugly, looks so bland. And many of there watches I feel wouldn't succeed if you slapped another name on them. Some of the Tudors are great but honestly overhyped imo. I remember the first time I carried one, it was almost like the saying "sometimes it's better not to meat your heros" cause it just didn't live up to the expectations sadly.
I don't see the reason for a sterling silver case Tudor. Gold one at least looks gold. Silver case not only tarnishes but is way softer than stainless steel, while not looking that different. Why not make it in SS. No one wants to polish their silver watch every month with gooey silver polish 🙄
VERY Odd Decision is not to mention the incredible 90th Anniversary Reverso from JLC in either of two parts. The only truly horological premier of the show. Keep going discussing new dial colors, case materials and bracelets. As if this was a bijouterie channel, not the watch one.
A nice 👌 watch but I think the Tudor Prince Big block and Tiger from the 90s destroy the new Tudor chronograph. I really like how the Prince Big block resembled the early years of the Rolex Daytona except they had a cyclops date window. What would have made more sense. Is if Tudor dropped the date window for a 12 hour counter. On the new chronograph
i love those new bronze divers65s. the part about the depth rating makes no sense though. when you say they mean 100, not 99... its got nothing to do with meters really, and you probably know that too. it means 10atmosphere pressure resistance. it doesn't mean you can go 100m deep with it. it would survive the average pressure of a body of 100m water on top of it. but that would mean you got the watch down super gently, and you don't move it, cause if you would move it quickly upwards with its dial up, it would mean the pressure for few seconds would exceed 10atmospheres and water would most likely get in thru the crysta, seal in that example. then you say some people swim with 100m watches... yeah, cause that's what it means. 10atmospheres of pressure means if you do a stroke with your hand the pressure still won't exceed that equivalent of 100meters of water. 100m water resistant watches are safe for swimming. as for diving, you could probably go 40-50meters deep with it, which is more than you ever will without pro equipment. for 'skin diving' its perfect, but not for professional diving. nobody really needs more than 100meters of water resistance(okay if you do water sports, or you actually do deep diving with pro equipment going down to like 70-100meters deep, then you do, but that's like 0.0001% of all watch owners who wear a dive style watch).
As long as it was a Canadian goose... And yes, you can totally make fun of the French. 'Cept aren't Patek et al Swiss? Almost as funny as a gold Tooduh. Exhibition caseback on the '58 is a cost saving. Cheaper than gold, less obviously budget than steel. LOL
I wish the watch industry didn't pay for a Pantone color book, just make watches that you (the company) and those requested colors the customer wants. Perhaps I am a plebian and Porche should make colors other than black, silver and red... Or not.
from where the Rolex hype is coming from? limited unexpected collaborations (special dials etc.). Currently, they stopped doing this. So what will happen with their price and collectibility in the future (new models)? it will drop. Good that somebody else is taking a hit paying 100% above retail ;D

Definitely definitely

I had this exact mindset when I bought my first automatic watch
-Seiko does it. -Who?? LOL I laughed at that loudly.
Silver Tudor looks awesome, display case back maybe to cut cost on precious metal
Lol i’m french and your imitations are pretty good for someone not saying a french word
I was about to say the same
Indeed 👍!
It’s lovely to see Christian being so down to earth and chummy with the underlings. ☺️
My AD told me that the Tudor BB58 silver will not tarnish.
C’mon that Tudor chrono is fire 🔥

Congratulations brother. I also got mine. It’s even nicer in person
We’re it in good health

11:00 there it is the green we all wanted for the Explorer anniversary.
Correction: ISO certification still rates 100m of WR to be sufficient for diving.
Very with you on Tudor needing a better Datejust equivalent. An updated Oyster Prince should be on their to-do list.
I love to see Tudor bring back the Prince Big block or the Tiger chronographs exactly 💯 like they were with the cyclops date window 😉
The intro always makes me feel warm and fuzzy
Supposedly the Sterling Silver is coated in an Anti-Tarnish finish, hence it won't tarnish apparently (Tudor said it)
That ruined the watch for me completely!

Love this video, made me laugh so hard after a long masked day dealing with covid patient loss and fatigue.
Keep it up! These videos are really entertaining.
They probably save money by making it a see-through case. No gold needed, put a crystal instead.
Exactly. Save money on the silver one too by doing that.
You guys are great. Thank you for the instant laugh and playfulness. Best channel on youtube, right now.

That burgundy Must de Cartier is beautiful, and the direct descendant of one of the '80s editions.
~Nice video mate!!
6:02 if it is a true 100 m, then it is certainly a dive watch
Great video!! That’s the thing with Tudor. U can get them. I got the panda chrono already..
I would love to know what's in that cup. I'll bet on whiskey...
The new 5711 with diamonds will be the watch du jour in the most expensive gentleman's establishments of Miami I'm sure... ;)
Junghans is also doing solar watches - Max Bill (Mega Solar) for example, you cannot see the difference to the automatic Max Bill
Think the exhibition case back on the Tudors was to save on precious metals. A sapphire case back is cheaper then gold or silver. All to cut cost.
do your clients ever get upset when they see you wearing their watch for the watch check??
Why would they? Its a vintage piece worn by numerous people before, some of them might have been way careless than him. It could even have been taken off a dead persons wrist. Who cares if its still running fine and looks good?
@@LimitedEditionEDC I personally don’t care, but some people might be super particular about that kind of stuff.
Near perfect James Baldwin impression at 23:00
The only reason Tudor has a display back on that watch is to cut cost. Less gold....
Those god damn tints lmfao 😂 great video fella’s

tudor chrono panda with the leather strap is my new grail.

Michael, it’s must DE not must des, and it does not mean must HAVE Cartier. De is of... love u Michael
Why didnt he just take the tints off?
