I work in a menswear shop, and it happens often that I get to compliment customers on their watches, some of which strike a conversation. One customer's wife had the same reaction described here, where I told her she had a great looking watch (white dial full steel Daytona) and she covered it with her hand all shocked. You silly woman, use an ounce of grey matter and understand the difference between "I love the look of your watch ma'am" and "give me everything on your person or I'll pick off your kneecap, then your head"

Mike, TB did not such a good job at the Bucks and then retired? Dude, he won a super bowl for them!

Love the flurry of recent videos and consistently great content. I really enjoy binge-watching this channel. Beats Netflix with no monthly subscription fee!

The morning video drops are my absolute favorite way to start the day. Keep it up Gents, nothing but bigger things ahead for both of you!

I think the VC Overseas Chrono is a much nicer watch than the Code for a similar price

I once did a Doordash delivery to a lady in a nice house. I knocked on the door (precovid) and when she opened it I handed her the food, she looked at me for a second before gasping and saying "oh you scared me" before taking the food and slamming the door.

You guys are firing on all cylinders! Thanks for another outstanding episode!

Early morning Christian in his bath robe throwing his crypto password in the bin 😂😂.... I almost pissed my pants 😂😂

Michael is blessed with common sense (which is the most sophisticated type of intelligence)

He won the SUPER BOWL in Tampa in their home stadium ".... not such a good job", come on guys you are better than that. (I still love this channel, and you guys are awesome. This was said in jest)

Did not so good a job? He won the Super Bowl year one with the Bucs!!! Sorry my fandom took over.. I'm here for watches... great work fellas 😂

I had to fast forward to the AP Segment….idk how i feel about it. I’d def still go for the Daytona tho.

I'm sure you know Christian, but for the rest - They aren't screws on the royal oak. They are bolts dropped in from above and screwed from below. That's how the get they perfect visual placement. 😇

Imagine being Michael's enemy... HE IS ONLY THE NICEST MOST LOVELY HUMAN BEING!

perfect time for my morning coffee and cardio sesh!!

The Code 11.59 looks sporty, but is actually very fragile and has only 30m water resistance. A Daytona is much more suitable for everyday use with 100m water resistance and a robust movement. With the Code 11.59, which has a sporty look, AP missed the chance to release a watch suitable for everyday use. This is by no means a competitor for the Daytona...;-)

Love theb new Code 11.59 in steel !! stunning watch, but would love to see it in 38-39mm

It doesn't matter how generically basic the 1159 looks, you'll still have to buy 1or 2 to get on the Royal Oak waiting list. That's the only reason this thing still exists. And the secondary market will be flooded with these after all the hopeful RO buyers, who were forced to buy Codes, then try to unload them. No reason to rush to pay MSRP.

The brown/black 11.59 is ceramic for 2k more… already on the waiting list for it

“As the World Caves In” Matt Maltese. I wanted to hear it, but I had a hard time finding it. Thought this might help anybody else in the same boat.

Ripple was a great description of the AP dial.

I saw someone with a gold AP Royal Oak. I asked him about it and he was clearly nervous. Now I guess he couldn’t see my two tone Omega Seamaster 300 but still. He’s wears a rear gold watch. It’s hard to imagine that he thinks no one is going to notice.

uh, yeah, that code 11.59 is fine, but it doesn't make my socks go up and down like it does for you two. i would still MUCH prefer the Daytona, and I'm not even that much of a Daytona fanboy

I agree! At 8:50, I'd remove the IWC logo too. Logos suck! On most every watch they suck. The worst offender is Grand Seiko with their clashing "GS" and "Grand Seiko" fonts. It's like scratching on a chalkboard. Using the word, "Grand" in a watch design is already cheesy enough but to add insult to injury with their hideous logo makes never want to buy a Grand Seiko. I would love to have a vintage 6185-8000 but nothing new.

Congrats! You just gave a proper name to the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 watch. At 30:50, it is now officially the "AP Ripple" watch.

The CODE11 is just... Boring... Looks like any mall watch chrono... I knooooow the finishing etc is better but still

I have the rose gold Daytona and cannot wear it. To me it's a ladies watch (looks amazing on my wife). The 11.59 Chrono (Rose Gold) turned out to the the perfect watch, that I had thought the Daytona would be. Oh, and I could buy at retail. There's no comparison between the two, except the hype and overpricing of the Daytona. To wear the Daytona on the Oysterflex is the right watch for the ladies, it's just too small for a guy. Saying that my 39 Seamaster Trilogy is the perfect fit.

I think the screw lines are used to lift the bolts to the watch.

Oh I see, we are going to take the logos off of IWC watches because "watch people " would know what they are, but we are going to leave them on Rolexs and everyone knows what they are 🤪. Not a a great call Christian 🤔

That IWC is the best use of a dial visible tourbillion ive ever seen.

Went somewhere else, won another Super Bowl…. 😆😆😆 stick to watches boys

With respect to the value discussion on the 11:59 as well as the jumbo... One massive oversight that wasn't mentioned is that AP no longer hand finishes the movements in any of the watches discussed. With AP today, you're getting a JLC quality movement. No more, no less. Yeah, the case finishing is more complex with AP, but that doesn't make up for what's been lost in the movements. I'm not an AP hater by any means... I just hope more people realize what they're actually getting when paying for an entry to mid level AP (and that includes the 16202!)

If you’re comparing the code 11 to the Daytona then why not do a side by side comparison so we can see what you’re comparing? There are many variants of the Daytona in the 30’s that blow these APs out of the water stylistically; you’re painting a very boring picture and having us imagine a bland and muted “plain Jane” Daytona (if one exists) that actually start at $14k! sure, If you’re comparing a sterile looking silver steel on steel bezel / bracelet combo than ok any of these AP dials pop compared to that, but there are many different Daytonas in this price range (they start in the low teens and have many more crazy options in the 30’s) that easily look much more luxurious and better than this line of AP that appears to come on a nato strap for $30+k. The everrose meteorite dial is in the 30’s and the John Mayer Daytona is also in the 30’s (retail) and both blow all of these code 11’s out of the water visually. not saying it’s a better overall watch at all, but I bet if you polled 100 people that are brand agnostic 75% would pick the Daytona’s in the 30k+ price range over these AP’s on looks alone all day long especially in gold and rose gold, so which Daytona’s are you talking about??

An episode about your favorite Sinn watches would be interesting :)

Exactly!

Daytona over that AP.

ALS makes little Lange 1 which has very similar pattern to that AP

Guys can pleasseeeee do a state of the collection video!

Along the same lines of "How did they screw down the AP screws?" I love when people now judge other watches with screws that aren't aligned in a specific direction....It's because AP uses bolts and other companies use screws. Basically, they are judging other watches based on their lack of knowledge of both AP AND the difference between screws and bolts. They are the same people who think the most recognizable watch on the planet isn't flashy.

Tom Brady went to the Bucks and won a Super Bowl the first year with them...

Christian, I think a better look would be to button the next button and to find a good laundry.🤔

Love you guys’ content. However, doesn’t Omega make a Speedmaster in stainless steel under €10.000???

22:51 The look of distain

Guys. Its not really a pocast, if you don't put the episodes on the podcast....

I’d buy the new Code 11:59…after having a Daytona in the collection

Pats fan here but to be fair, Brady won a Super Bowl in Tampa Bay, so he did ok...

in the new show Tulsa King, Sylvester Stallone rocks a Piaget Polo.

I feel more open to the code 11:59 after this video but damn would I never buy it over a daytona. Maybe it's just my dainty wrists, or my love for the Oysterflex, but you can essentially get a gold daytona for the price of a steel 11:59 so...

Little misleading... Code 11 59 time only isn't 20k its 28k and the chronograph isn't 30k it's 38k in USD. Look at their website.

TB did win a SB in Tampa so it wasn’t “nothing”

The case is perfectly round, there is virtually no bezel. the lugs are not at all unusual. So what is it that "Screams IWC"? I sure as hell don't see it.

This AP chrono is my new grail watch - what is the model no?

Which would you pick, all within 5-7k it seems 🤔 New AP code 11:59 ~20k VC overseas 4500v ~24k GP laureato skeleton ~ 26k

If I could I would I’d be a fucking magician. 😂😂😂😂😂

Code looks like you can pick that up at Macys.

Keep it!

How many titles can Mike make in an hour? 😂 I can just picture him sitting there pulling his hair out waiting on the clicks.

My apocalypse watch: Sinn U1 :)

Sorry rather go VC or Patek calatrava for the same price

Nice vid as usual.

I can’t submit anything to carrot cause I wear my watches only naked

11.59 pricing is off in my opinion.

i would buy a code 11;59.

"XX beat Rolex". Insert a watch company for XX and you have the title to the new Theo and Harris video. They all have the same fucking title. As if people buy the Daytona because it's the best. They buy it because it's a Rolex.

In an apocalypse and putting on my citizen ProMaster Tough. It's built like a brick shit house and the solar will last longer than I probably will. If I had a solar G-Shock that would be my pick... Note to self buy a 5610 Solar g-shock

The new Code 11.59 Chronograph in stainless steel retail for $35,000 and is on a rubber strap. That’s over 2X the retail price of a stainless steel Rolex Daytona. I agree with you guys, this is by far the best Code ever executed but don’t you think is already too late? They should have released this model 4 years ago at least the stainless steel version to target the new watch collector generation. Thank you for such a good content and keeping us engaged week after week.

the lisp killed me instantly

came for everything right with the watch world almost left due to everything wrong with the watch world

Code 11:59 is the El Camino of watches.

No offense guys but these APs do not float my boat whatsoever 😩☹️

I agree completely. The new code 11.59 design is great

Didn’t do well at Tampa? The guy won a SB there…

AP ad

what are the glasses he wears!!

4:30 date wheel is atrocious. Thx but no thx

I love it when smaller framed Alpha males go for class over big gaudy over compensation. I’m a big alpha male from Miami so there’s no hope for me however still love to see it 😂

Tell me you don't watch football without( yet) telling me you don't watch football ... Y'all said he sucked at Tampa Bay and he won a Super Bowl in his first year .... haha

Id really love to hear what yall have to say about Pitzmann watches. Its pretty incredible value at $900

Michael ‘I date hot chicks who live on Pretty Privilege’ Kristy and Christian ‘Why are you stealing my TV’ Theron - never change gentlemen! The new AP chrono is amazing. 👏

Not convinced. Daytona is still the King. This AP design is not timeless. Resale will be not as easy as the Daytona

Maybe she’s wearing a fake Piaget. That’s why. Lol

Love you guys but Michael's stray hair sticking out in front was a little distracting 😅. Great video though.

Click bait?!

Rather than listen to this, I think I listen to Teddy Baldassare talk about watches. JUST SAYING. NUFF SAID

Man I like you guys but AP hasn’t beaten the Daytona in the chrono aspect whatsoever. Gotta stop the clickbaity titles featuring Rolex just for clicks.

AP Beats Patek Philippe

Quick reminder: The Daytona FAILED the NASA test. It's a loser watch.

Friendly feedback: You guys need to calm down with the RU-vid Title keyword-stuffing. It's getting old. We come here for the content, not because the algorithm Gods smile upon you.

Fools trying to compare a Rolex Daytona crap, to a AP a mastery in ultimate Haute Horology watch making! Like comparing a Ferrari to a Kia!

You guys get way too horned for AP. Very overrated brand.

I had to skip 60% of the video because it’s so full of BS. Please focus on watch content.

So? Omega has been doing it for decades.

Ap is trash. Most over rated watch right next to RM. Ill still take the Daytona any day. 30k for a steel watch that costs 800$ to build. Jokes ! 😂
