Hi guys. I would just like to say a massive thank you for giving my channel a chance. Never in my wildest dreams would I have expected so much engagement from my first video after only a few days! I’m currently in the process of creating my second video, but hopefully you can appreciate that a lot of planning, editing and designing goes into making content in this style. So please bear with me whilst I do so. I promise, it’ll be worth the wait. Thanks again, I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone to create this channel and I’m so happy that it’s paying off. Everyone’s positivity and engagement is greatly appreciated. Nath!
With all due respect to your opinion, saying the F-91W is garbage because many terrorists use it, is like saying water is garbage because hitler drank it. A watch's capability is judged based on its time keeping accuracy. And it does that at almost no cost, with sublime precision. The other watches in your list are well deserving of their spots, because you have pointed out how they are overhyped, brtittle and less like a watch and more like a show. The f-91 outlasts all of these. It is the most sold watch on earth, simply because you dont have to make a hole in your pocket to know the time. I understand, including the F91W has given your video traction. And in a few months time, you will make a video on why it's god tier, just like any other watch youtuber. reviewers come, reviewers go, the f-91w will find your wrist anyway. Thank you, thrive.
I avoid the ennui of owning expensive watches by instead owning interesting inexpensive ones that provide all the aesthetic pleasure with none of the risk. And if in the process I fool a nearsighted person into doubting their worldview, that only adds to my enjoyment.
Excellent video and spot on about the Submariner. Nothing says "I'm a lemming" like a Submariner on the wrist. That being said, the cheapest and arguably the most popular watch of all time, has a place in my collection. Cheers.
@@tonydilucente2342 haha as long as people are buying a submariner for the right reasons (ie: they actually want it) rather than because of what others think of it, then fine! Ive not had an F-91w in the collection for many years, but I feel it’s probably my duty pick one up to mark the day I started this channel. Thanks for watching!
A compliment on a watch I’m wearing, is what it is. And it is a very nice and rare feeling (because most people don’t give a dam about it🤷🏼♂️), and it got nothing to do with the price of said watch. Someone mentioned it because it was attractive, or interesting, or it fits your look perfectly. It very well could be a 100$ piece, a 300 one or a 3000 one- it feels the same for me, because I appreciate and love all my watches.
@@Zotrax1946 exactly how it should be! But the only compliment on a watch that’s actually worth any consideration, is your own compliments! Thanks for watching!
Marathoned all your videos and have run the notification bell. You should be WAY larger than you already are and I cannot wait to see where you go in the future!
@@ColinLack thanks mate. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. I’m still learning a thing or two but hopefully the quality of the content will keep improving. Again, thanks for the support!
@@FullyLumed No problem! If you're not familiar with them VidIQ is a great resource. If you haven't considered this as a topic I'd love to see a video from you about celebration watches and what you'd get and why. :)
Thanks. Yes I’ve been looking at vidiq and wondering if it will be of help. But to be honest, I’m a little overwhelmed with how quickly the channel has grown in 4 weeks and I’m unsure if I can handle the pressure of trying to grow it even quicker at the minute 😂 Always happy for video suggestions, I’ll add it to my list thanks!
@@zosothezephead837 thanks for watching. The next one will be a discussion of a problem in the industry, but hopefully you will still find entertaining. It takes a long time to write and edit in this style (mainly because I’m new to it) but please stick around and I’ll try my best to not disappoint! Thanks again!
Youre right. Ive had a subby, an explorer 2 and a seadweller. Didnt feel special in any way. Sold them to buy watches i love. Not watches everyone else craves from hype
Buy Casio F-91W now while they cheaper before it becomes a high value classic watch someday cause this watch has good reputation, rich history, now, a legendary and classic high quality cheap watch that you can afford.
@@alfredbalurandavocol5769 maybe buy two and keep one boxed. And you never know! But I can’t see Casio stopping the production run any time soon! Thanks for watching!
All this stuff about hype watches, status watches, etc... It only exists in the minds of us watch geeks. There's only one brand of wrist watch anybody cares about, and almost nobody could identify one on sight. Unless you're wearing a Rolex, everyone just thinks you couldn't afford an Apple Watch. The exact same boring, styleless, soulless wrist computer all the other cult members have. Be DIFFERENT! Be BOLD! DARE TO FLARE! Get yourself the craziest, blingiest, 55+mm Invicta you can find and wear it absolutely unapologetically!
The Clickbait Award goes to... THIS VIDEO! Not only does it take aim at the world's most popular and accessible watch, the F91W, but it also targets trendsetters like the PRX and timeless icons like the Submariner. Truly, a masterclass in low-effort content.
Vid is one point. I dabbled in Chinese homages and microbrands. And they always lacked something. I dont wear a watch for just time keeping or horology. i also wear it as a male jewlery status symbol. People who say no one notices what you are wear are full of it. People notice even if they dont say anything to you. And no I'm not a Rolex fanboy. I just like a watch brand that says this guy has good taste and sophistication. Big fan of Omega, longines, Seiko, Tudor. All portray quality without ostentatiousness. For me to buy a micro it really has to wow me. Anordain, Christopher Ward are a couple id consider.
@@jerryglasses2229 a microbrand called Venezianico have been turning my head recently. Their experimental take on different materials is really interesting. They have an amethyst dial dive watch out that is a stunner, but I’m a sucker for a purple dial! I agree with CW as well. Innovating is 100% what sets a micro apart from it’s competition. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your thoughts. I have an older Rolex 2-tone GMT Master that I seldom wear. I think it's too ostentatious, or maybe because I'm only it's caretaker and it really belongs to my wife. I'd much rather wear my Omega Seamaster 300 Professional, Seiko Alpinist SARB017, or RDUNAE Captain Willard homage (GASP!). I also have an F91-W somewhere around here and a few other watches, too. I meet some ROMEOs (retired old men eating out) weekly for lunch. There are 18 of them. I'm sure all of them could afford a Rolex, however, only six-ish wear one. It seems they aren't watch people and don't care what anyone else wears. The two watch guys in the group mostly wear inexpensive quartz watches... of which they have many between the two of them.
As long as you love whatever you’re wearing then it doesn’t matter what others think. I think we all fool ourselves that others care to a point though! But I too have a Rdunae 6105! Amazing watch for the price. Although, I’ve modded mine and I’m in the process of ‘aging’ it. Purely for aesthetics though!
@@FullyLumed I chose the Rdunae because it is the closest copy of the SEIKO, right down to the 19mm lug width. And... it has a better threaded crown than the original. Win-win!
@@George_Lewis yes! That’s exactly why I chose it. I love how they even included the lock text on the crown! I’d love a genuine 6105 but I don’t fancy spending thousands on a battered old watch that’s had water ingress!
Thanks for the support. There’s a conspiracy theory in the comments that I’m Ben. It’s not true haha. But I’ll gladly accept the comparisons with both Ben and Andrew Morgan, I aspire to be at their level one day. Again thanks for watching and the support.
I really enjoyed your video, very entertaining indeed and well put together. Keep up the good work. I have subbed. I think your channel will be very popular. Keep up the good work.
i mean i dont think he is wrong about anything, he is just speaking facts that we try to hide, but personally i love the prx but not the garbage "TIFFANY" color i like more just white and black diles
Despite what I’ve said, I love the F-91w and intend to get one this weekend as memento of starting the channel. It’s all in jest. I hope you enjoyed and thanks for watching!
I can't agree more about Rolex sports watches in general. While I will get one, I decided to buy the Cartier Pasha instead this past year while on a trip to Vegas. 41mm Blue dial. I love this watch. It's different, but it pairs well with a suit. And it's just unconventional, you can pair it with a linen guayabera, and damn... 😊 Anyway, I am surprised at the lower number of viewers you have. The overall production value is quite good.
The Cartier pasha is a beautiful watch, not my style, but I can appreciate why you love it. Thanks for watching. My channel is very new, this is my first proper upload, so taking that into account, I’m absolutely overwhelmed with the views and engagement I’m getting. But I’ll take the compliment, thank you!
Great 1st video, entertaining, thought provoking and maybe a bit controversial in a fun way. The voice sounds sort of familiar though, can't think where I've heard it before😉, keep up the good work, you've now got a new subscriber👍
@@Stricko72 thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. My next video is a few days away from being released. Hopefully it’ll dispel the myth that I’m Ben 😂 Thanks again for watching and subbing!
Incredible channel debut mate. I saw some people poke at the Clickbait title, but that’s just the name of the game on RU-vid. Keep up this tremendous effort. Subbed!😊
@@MaksTimeless thanks buddy. I’m glad you enjoyed, and yes, a brand new channel like mine would never compete against the established channels for attention without some sort of clickbait 😂 Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching and subscribing
You’re right! My latest San Martin came in the new leatherette zip-up cylindrical case, that appears to be excellent quality, and will probably make a good travel case!
I'm disappointed that you spent the whole time talking about terrorists with the F91W, yet didn't mention the laughably garbage illumination light it has.
I own a sub homage a steinhart i love it german made swiss movment i dont care and enyoy it but people mistake it for a rolex i tell them the truth you dont have to pay big money to get a good watch
Thanks for watching and the kind words. I’m overwhelmed with how well this has been received. Honestly was expecting a few views 😂 Thanks again and I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Holy crap 4 minutes and 6 seconds in and I am subscribed. This is a very cool video. This is crap I've never even thought about. I'm jealous this is better content that my channel puts out
Haha well, I’d beg to differ, anyone that’s owned or had all of these watches on wrist, has made some very, very good life choices 😂 Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed!
@@FullyLumed yeah I will definitely be getting 1 in the future but maybe something more original or less recognisable like the legend diver Collab they did with watch dives
@@Wenxinlovesyuri yes, it looks cool, I’ve looked at the longines one for years, but the long lug to lug always put me off. Love a compressor style dive watch though!
@@FullyLumedYour video made me laugh. Cry. Throw my phone across the room. Punch my monitor. Not even Ben can elicit that kind of response from me. You, sir, are gonna be huge. I can tell.
Thanks for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed it! It’s all said in jest. I’d love to own a submariner one day. But until then, I have to stick to my pretender, my Tudor BB58!
Congratulations on your first video. You certainly put the kaibosh on those watches . By the way do you have many watches yourself?. I’m looking forward to more videos from you in the future. Take care and thanks a mill.
@@taproot381 thanks for watching! I try to keep my collection around 10 watches. Any more than that and I feel like I’m neglecting them. Hopefully you come back and will maybe see some of my collection in my next video 😉
I have a watch collection , didn't mean to but have got into the hobby of building ones based on Seiko NH35's and enjoying it. At the end of the day I like a nice looking watch but basically it's there to tell the time not pose with. Anyone spending a small fortune on a watch has more money than sense and his bragging rights would just make assume he's a dickhead. I have a couple of dirt cheap Casio's I wear for work , reliable , accurate and never let me down. I would not pay over £50 for a pre built one , costs me about that for self built one but I get to choose exactly what it will look like and can alter it at will , hands , dial , case etc. I'm not going to knock any brand wether It's Rolex or a £2.50 Ali Express Quartz cheapo , as long as it keeps pretty good time , job done.
@@bobbrowne3027 I very recently got into building, I’ve done a few and really enjoyed the process. These were all just cheap aliexpress builds, but one of them gets a lot more wrist time than the majority of my other watches. Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed it. Remember it was purely for entertainment purposes though 😉
You start your debut video by calling the F-91W garbage because terroristsused it??? How does that make the watch garbage? You know that you're objectively wrong. So why make this asinine statement?
Great video, subbed also. But I don’t wear anything for others. But I’m 66 and well past trying to impress anyone. We all get there, you will too. Just keep on livi’n!😀
@@bigriceburner thanks for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed it. Keep loving the watches you love, sir! Some of my favourite pieces are the ones that cost me almost nothing, that I built myself from cheap Chinese parts!
In its defence, as one of the ‘least loved’ Rolexes, the explorer II does at least not come with the baggage of some of its siblings, but I get your point. Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed!
So Casio is garbage because terorist use it, and subby is garbage because it makes u buy a chinese San Martin ... I dont get the title and the content of the video. CLICK BAIT Thumbs down
@@FullyLumed that's wild you sound the same as Ben, the video quality was great actually, as a casio fan I'm now adding the f91w to my collection, it's literally battle tested lol
@@炎ノ yes, to be honest, I’ve never really recorded my voice before, but even in the edit, I thought I sounded like him 😂 I love the F-91w really, I’m hoping you can tell the video was purely for entertainment. But thanks for the kind words and hopefully you stick around for my next upload in the coming week.
@@FullyLumed oh ya I could tell it was jokes when u started saying Obama didn't invade coz Osama didn't return his f91w lol, I'm looking forward to the new vids 💥 I am a creator too but mostly on Patreon, I can tell your channel is going to do well
