Well hello everyone and happy Wednesday! Where is Christian?! Where did he go?! Today a very lonely Michael sits down and chats his life away. What subjects does he go over? Well only three, but three great ones if I may say myself. First we start off with some JLC action, then we move on over to Ming, a watch brand that isn't talked about a ton but nevertheless has some absolutely stunning pieces.
Finally though we talk Tudor and their new Pelagos FDX Marine Nationale watch. One for Tudor's history books! How does it rival the black bay? What about the original Pelagos? Let us know!
Are you interested in Rolex? Omega? Grand Seiko? Tudor? You've come to the right spot!

As the FXD is on my Wish List, I’ve watched every video on the Reference. This video is in the Top 2. Although your comments were few, they were fresh, well thought-out and on-point. Nice job! Oh, regarding the T&H videos, Michael should continue doing videos on his own, with the “occasional” joint discussion videos thrown in…just a few times a month. Michael you’re a natural in front of the camera and T&H needs to take advantage of this.

@lucholland3938 2 года назад

agreed on all fronts. a lot of watch reviewers were haters on the design and saying it was a missed opportunity. Agreeing with Michael here - they nailed it with an intelligent and thoughtful design with no fluff - just purpose. rare in watches these days. spot someone with that watch we are having a conversation!

Great review of the FXD

@Canteaus 2 года назад

Listen, I love the lines of a vintage Rolex way more than a modern one, but to say that modern rolexes are less "utilitarian" because of their more "luxurious" design is not really scientific. In my opinion, a modern rolex submariner is MORE heavy duty and utilitarian than a vintage one. Why? Simply because its made to modern tolerances with more modern technology. If I had to take a watch to war without worrying about price, id take a modern Tudor or Rolex over a NOS vintage model any day.

@rafaelh2504 2 года назад

If not mistaken, on the Tudor FDX, you forgot to mention that the bezel numbers are inverted, therefore displaying the time left rather than time spent... If you did mentionit, for some reason I did not capture. Anyway, nice video!

Good commentary on the FXD, I like that they designed and built a real tool watch. I will keep wearing my BB58, however, as I absolutely love everything about it. Good points on the Ming, which reminds me a lot of a Movado museum watch. And that is a compliment, as I have always loved the purity of design of the Movado and have owned a museum watch for a long time. BTW, what happened to Anna?

@markjonz Год назад

It's a dive watch, a tool watch, and it's supposed to be clearly visible on the wrist underwater. I have the Pelagos with the bracelet and it wears just fine on my 6.5" wrist. I also have 36mm Explorer for reference. Dive watches are supposed to be large. Choosing all 38mm watches (or whatever you think is your sweet size) from different categories would be a mistake in my opinion.

@vgcamara 2 года назад

$5k CHF (pre tax) for that Ming 🤣 what a joke! I think the minute markets on the bezel of the FXD make it tool too busy. You already have a inner bezel, no need for that on the bezel too. The fixed lugs are a terrible mistake imo, as well as not making it smaller. Killing the date is the way to go though

@CH-yp5by 2 года назад

For a Dive watch 38 mm is pointless as the count down bezel takes up too much of the dial space, 40mm to 41mm is perfect, you just need lug to lug length that a no bigger than 48mm for it to fit your tiny wrist. Its a pity they used a count down timer thats bi directional so its not a proper diving bezel.

@Bisley1 11 месяцев назад

This aged poorly with the BB54 now released😄 just kidding, i tried it on and do feel, that the dial is a bit too small, even though I like 36mm watches. The rotating bezel just takes up too much space and the BB58 seems more suitable. That being said, i would still wear the 54, but i prefer the 58

@canadianwatchmonkey3992 2 года назад

@andrewcampbell5699 Год назад

My wish list for the Pelagos - remove at least 3 lines of text. We don’t need it. Watch makers write far too much on their dials. - I don’t like that minute markers don’t fit in some cases so they simply dropped them. That doesn’t seem purpose built to me.

@jamesblonde2271 2 года назад

Mate, as to functionality, the count down bezel is for combat navigation, a bit like a pilots bezel. The problem is for civilian scuba divers want a count up bezel. The extra functionality is only of use to the Navy guys. (Theres lots more to this) But, as a hobby diver we want a quick back up reference to measure elapsed time, as the training sez. Ironically the tooliest tool watch they do will be v unlikely to go underwater, cos the last thing any guy on his three week annual vacation needs is an extra confusing detail. Fucking annoying if you ask me and an option or spare bezel insert with a bit of marketing bumf to explain and add coolness woulda been clever

I wish watch reviewers could do their homework before talking about any watch but I understand it is unrealistic. Tudor Pelagos owners have been reporting issues with the lume falling out of the bezel for years but I am not seeing any luxury watch related channel on RU-vid talking about. It is very disappointing. I am wondering if this new Pelagos FXD is having the same problem. More and more the comment section of these channels is becoming a better source of information than the videos themselves.
