Andrew: once again, you nailed it. All of your selections are damn near perfect. I almost spit out my tea upon hearing a couple of those similes! Well done. Well done.
Every time I see that Credor, my blood pressure rises. It's absolutely perfect in its simplicity. And that Grossman, stunning. The VC 222 is also beautiful.
What wonderful writing!!!! Only from an language -loving engineer can abstractions lead to such witty analogies! Great fun! (Talking) Hands down, the best watch channel on the internet.
Dazzling collection ! Hillarious narrative ! A video to watch several times to soak in all the verbal comparisons, to appreaciate all explanations, to relish in all the macro shots and minute details of the world's top artisans' work ! Terrific stuff !!!
Loved your content throughout 2023, but dang you saved the best for last Andrew. "The watch basically pays for itself" and "even the watchmaker rubs one out onto it." Comedic gold. Oh and the Vacheron 222 is unreal.
@@michele_The joke is that by the time you’ve regaled all your mates down the pub with stories of how the hands on the Grossman are heat purpled, they will have left, and you can finish all their drinks for free.
Best writing in the watch world by a nautical mile no doubt. What a perfect video to close off the year! To me the part about the 222 was the best bit 😂
Just absolutely faultless, without being boring or unoriginal in the slightest - would never be able to justify the money to buy one new, but it's the sort of thing that's just so nice that secondhand becomes tempting... Bet servicing is ruinous, mind you!
So entertaining I'm tempted to buy one of your novels to see if it's as full of running gags. I'd swap out the Longines for the Omega CK859 as a sector favourite. The Explorer is that friend who never says or does anything to offend or upset you, is always there when you need them and never upstages you. If I wore that VC, beautiful as it is, it would be like Marty Feldman accompanying Uma Thurman.
Some ppl are just meant to be , and you were born for this , judging how watching you and seeing your hands moving and explaining things better than any watch out there mate 😊
Love how you show off the beauty of Credor and Seiko. The history on the earlier watches was also terrific. You get watches, humor, and history. Thanks
No flashing images of watches that make you feel nauseous,just about one of the best reviews i have ever seen.Makes you want to buy them all.Not a bad word for any of the timepieces,just a matter of personal taste.A wonderful,just under 20 minutes,watch education.Can you choose another interesting bunch,you know your subs,to the above lot?Thank you,Andrew for your time.Just wonderful.
Nice video with some exceptional watches for their simplicity, high quality and good taste!!! But for me, the perfect watch on that list is the Omega Speedmaster, I had 19 different version of it, and of all of them, the one I liked the best was the one with automatic Caliber 1045 in a Moonwatch case. It had Day-Date at 3, Concentric minute and seconds chrono hands, 24-hr indicator at 12, 12-hr counter at 6, and running seconds at 9, was water proof to 100 meters, beat at 28800 VPH, had Column Wheel and Vertical Clutch, anti-magnetic, and had luminous indicators. Lamentably, I stupidly sold it in 2009...........
Picked up a amzwatch's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!
I was shopping for a GMT watch. The choice is the Rolex Explorer II or the GMTII. The explorer II was about $5,000, while the GMT II was about $7,250. Cheaper or what i really want. Cheaper or what i really want. I had just survived a heart attack, a 5 way by pass and heart valve repair. I said the hell with it, go for broke. Got the GMT II. Never regretted it. Such a gorgeous watch.
Hi Andrew from down under, Tasmania. Have just subscribed to your channel. Your presentation is first class and top marks for your so original commentary. The watches you feature in your presentation are so interesting and good to see some of the ones that pass under the radar. I had a sector dial Longines like the one you mentioned but I parted with it some time ago. Damn!
Big fan of the channel and first comment here - maybe your most brilliant commentary ever. Wicked smart and funny as hell. The Grossman watch quips had me laughing out loud and sending this video to my non-watch guy friends. All the best for a stellar 2024.
The unexpected roast of Bernie Ecclestone is top notch. While football has Peter Drury, horology has Andrew Morgan. Keep doing what you're doing mate, it's delightful. Have a great 2024!
Been watching your videos for a while now and was inspired to start a collection. Started with the amzwatch, its specs for price and clean looks, now am looking for a dress watch to add.
Nice to see you highlight some obscure brands. The process to make the Credo is fascinating. You should do a video on similar small, obscure or niche brands. Great video. Keep up the good work.
Love seeing watches I've never encountered before. I am presently enamored with the Seiko True Pogue. Mainly because of the story behind it. But also because of its approachability. And the song is Echoes by Pink Floyd.
I love your reviews: erudite and entertaining! I do wonder however, why watches that are not-so-good one week, become fantastic the next!? Whatever; I love you! Keep it up! 😁👍
I love your content and witty banter. You've got a great voice too. You use watches to talk about people like Top Gear did with cars. The airfryer similie is pure genius. ❤
"I don't want a Rolex, but I want a Rolex..." So true! I too don't want a Rolex, but want a Rolex. And if I were to ever get one, it would 100% be the 36mm stainless steel Explorer.
The near perfect watch for me is my recently gifted to me for Christmas Citizen NY0040-17L promaster diver’s watch. Day date, good lume, decent accuracy with a handwinding and hacking movement, 20 bar water resistance, ISO Diver’s certification, well designed hands and indices that make it very legible and a sixty click bezel that like the chapter ring aligns up properly and all for just over €200.
@johnmacintyre6231 explorer 2 is the only watch I've ever regretted selling and ill buy another when I get offered one. Skydweller is beautiful, but I'd love it in a true 38mm
Amazing as always I Could argue the simplicity of the Omiwatari would be my GS choice And I think even if it might feel main street, patek world time (5231) enamel dial is a perfect watch I would throw in a curve ball as well such as the Casio Ca-53W-1ER, ie the calculator 😊 Happy holidays
Oh my, I just discovered this channel! You upped the game with jokes and pacing - wonderfully entertaining, and some great watches, of course. Thank you!
I'm a knifemaker. Heat treating steel is an absolutely vital aspect of my job. It's what makes the difference between a knife that will last a lifetime, and a piece of steel that just happens to be shaped like a knife. When it comes to watch making, colouring screws blue with heat doesn't offer ANY advantages over colouring them by any other method other than satisfaction for the watchmaker. MASSIVE respect for the skill required to use that method!
This is now my favourite watch channel on RU-vid , such great content and done superbly, well done sir and I got my favourite watch at amzwatch， it hasn’t left my wrist for weeks
Super shocked when you mentioned the SLGA021 as one of the watches on this list since thats the watch im wearing right now. 🥰 Thanks for the justification 😂
Get it, but be warned, the current 36mm will give you a big shock because it's very petite, but if you persevere, it will grow om you so much that you will want to wear it everywhere. It's known as a very slow burner.
Happy New Year Andrew. Thanks for your content. When watching your videos, I am completely focused, to the point that I ignore everything. Oops, I just went through a red light.
The title was a bit assertive, yet you made very solid choices, my leige. I may have changed maybe a couple of them for my taste but they are iron solid nonetheless. Great video and great taste!
I cant listen to teddy and his bf mr wonderful after hearing this. I can relate to this and I realize this hobby will continue to bear unspeakable financial consequences.
I love my Vache overseas...most beautiful watch ever...nicest blue ..... 222 is legend... but way to expensive for me the 57260 is the famous pocket watch...but a song ? Miles Davis ? or Pink Floyd ? The seagull sound ? all the best, from Spain
It's good to reward ourselves sometimes . While I'm not one to spend on high-end watch (I spend too much money on travel, lol), I can appreciate your gorgeous and timeless watch. I love how it's a symbol of all your hard work.And i choose NKUWAN every time honestly
It's my birthday today and the best way to start the day? A new Talking Hands video.! Loved it Andrew. Thanks. And yeah, I've got a couple of those, age brings wisdom :)
