Tudor North Flag - Collectible Staying Power - with Watch InTime 

Those are the kind of watches I try to get in my collection, the ones I could enjoy and not be afraid to scratch.

That's the only Tudor watch that I would buy. This one is truly original. Forget the many BB's...

The northflag on a bracket is the watch l wear daily !! After 2 years of ownership it got me into horology. Love it so much !!

Hi Bruce and hi Giovanni. Beautiful story and very relatable. You always manage to explain the philosophical aspect of the watch collecting!

The North Flag is just an odd and fun watch. It looks like nothing else and feels like nothing else. It was a booger to get it to fit right. I had to track down an extra link... but now it's set and I love the way it feels. I think one of the great DNA features it gets from its Rolex cousin..... the highly tapered bracelet. Something about that taper really makes it fit well when properly adjusted. I will sometimes come home and change into the Tudor North Flag just to get a little lift. It has a permanent place in my collection.

The North Flag mixes perfectly sport/casual looks and classy style. I love the interaction between watch reviewers. No borders for watch enthusiasts,right Bruce? Great vídeo! Greetings from Brazil!

Fantastic video and collaboration Bruce and Giovanni. I totally relate to this story. The North Flag was my first "expensive" piece. I remember seeing it by chance, online. I was immediately drawn to its design aesthetic. I love how it is on the periphery, its not the explorer, yet to me it oozes the adventure vibe. Mine has taken plenty of wear, and it has total staying power. Thanks

Love mine, and what I like most is the incredible legibility day and night, and so accurate with a great reserve.

I like the North Flag because it's Tudor, because it has a power reserve indicator, and a display case-back.

I concur with Giovanni and your thoughts about the North Flag. So unique and with the integrated bracelet and Tudor's first In-house movement very difficult to ignore.

I love how he doesn't care if he gets scratches on it, almost to the point of welcoming them as he goes on about his journey in life with his trusty Tudor by his side 💛

Giovanni is fantastic. Very philosophical. I have the North Flag, and it feels special to me too.

Excellent collaboration, enjoyed it. Thanks Giovanni and Bruce 👍🏻 Love the NF, easily Tudor's most appealing watch amongst a sea of homages IMHO. Wanted one for so long, but the integrated bracelet is a stumbling block for me so I will get a Seamaster instead...but maybe one day 😉 Thanks Gentlemen 👍🏻👍🏻

This video need its own series.

I love Giovannis presentation style, I could learn a thing or 2 from the intonation in his voice.

Cool segment concept Bruce, well done Sir!

North Flag was my first Swiss watch. I love it because it's such a bold departure from the rest of the Tudor/Rolex lines that tend to be conservative, classic designs. It's a milestone watch because of the inclusion of the in-house movement and I think it represents Tudor's arrival as a brand that's more than just "rolex light".

Really enjoyed this one. 7:55 - Well said, Giovanni! It's about the pleasure. I'm determined never to buy the watch I don't like as much because it's has better value retention.

Bruce, what you describe @ around 7:30 in is what I call the learning mindset. When I am in that state, I follow the things I am genuinely interested in and have a connection to. It is not one where money and status are factors. Rather, it is a mental/emotional mindset that seeks knowledge, insight and interaction with what I love. It is open-minded in nature. Thanks to you two for your two videos in one. Thought-provoking stuff. --Michael

I guess it's true that Italians do talk with their hands!

Excellent video! I want to see more from Giovanni, he was well spoken and had great points. We need to hear more about why watches are special to people instead of what a great value or investment they are

Great video. Like it. My first watch since I got back into it was a Seiko snk809. I then bought a SINN 556 ib, then an Omega aqua 41, then a Rolex OP 39 then a Tudor BB58, then a Seiko turtle with a strapcode jubilee. Have all except the BB58, sold it. The watch I wear 87% of the time is my turtle. Strange.

Great episode Bruce! I really like the new format. Very refreshing! I can absolutely relate. I'm at the stage of watch collecting were I went down the road of classic watch collecting goals and reached pretty much the end. I had my grail (Audemars Piguet) and was pretty much done as even higher end watches are definitely out of my budget. So now I'm going to consolidate more and the most important part: Just keeping the watches I personally love and wear. I don't look at things anymore like "do I have a manual wind Chronograph? Do I have at least one classic Rolex? Do I have...". I don't check any boxes any more. Of course I try to keep my collection diversified but mostly it just comes down to personal preference. And that's a really fun part of watch collecting! And I think it's the most reasonable part of the watch collecting journey.

REALLY WANT a north flag. Got the explorer mk2 instead. This is def on the hit list though.

Just found this cracking vid ,Just how i feel about my NF ,looked at it for months in the AD window , they reduced the price hen i was discontinued , its superbly versatile .A great watch

Thank you for always pointing out that expensive watches are luxury and unnecessary. I think that is a very fair statement and help put things in perspective for those who might be considering buying a luxury watch but might not realize that they are not in a position to buy... yet. Me included.

Couldn't agree more with the part of a watch that means something to you and buying something without regards to resale value etc. I bought my first Breitling Colt when I was just getting in to watches and will cherish it forever since I bought it with my heart, only caring about the looks and the feel on the wrist.

I like the NF. Maybe one day I will own one. Currently I’m on vacation wearing my Seamaster 300 Coaxial. Cheers from Switzerland

I love that watch, and the air king, my next watch will be the Sinn 856 utc. I think I always love watches that everyone else hates.

Nice new format! I like this international connection among watch freaks! Qualitative contents ask for the engagement of a plurality of perspectives.

Bruce, great format, looking forward to more like this 👍🏼

👍’s Bruce - an interesting review. I’ve always been drawn to this model - great aesthetics, legibility and pop of yellow. As it’s now discontinued I rang/emailed Tudor AD’s all over the UK hoping to find one still in stock. Eventually I found a new one on the bracelet - an unexpected bonus was a 15% discount when the AD owner noticed a tiny mark on the bezel 👍🙂

I love mine to death. I’ll never sell it, greetings from Mexico

Nice video guys

Fab, thanks

Nice video, thanks Bruce.

Boy that Air King is good looking.

Love the Tudor North Flag but my favourite ❤ watch ⌚ brand is Seiko since the Seiko perpetual calendar kinetic which I had since the 90s and still running no problems 😊 But Tudor North Flag which I have is still ok Since experiencing the accuracy on unregulated Seiko 8L35 movement Seiko is my number 1 watch brand

I couldn’t connect with the North Flag but when I went to an AD to check it out, I “met” the burgundy bezel Black Bay and that one stuck with me. Hopefully will get it before year’s end.

Great video. Love the concept.

Great video and great watch !!! I've been in the market for a Tudor lately but my AD has been closed due to the combination of covid19 and the riots in the closest city to me .

Keep the vids coming Bruce !

I just got mine today over the moon with it.

It looks like your links are broken to the other channels.

I do think I fell into the trap of buying my first luxury watch based on resale value / peer acceptance. Purchased a BB ETA on the secondary market for a great price, but my eye has always been on the North Flag. Recently bought the Hamilton Khaki Pilot (Interstellar) and that gets much more wrist time than the Tudor BB. Word on the streets is that the NF is discontinued in NA, gonna be harder and harder to find too..

Miss my North Flag, it’s one that got away.

The North Flag is my Tudor grail along with the BB58, and in Mexico ADAs sell them at about the same price… which, at the moment, exceeds my budget. I hope to have the (luxury toy) money before Tudor decides the NF doesn’t sell and axes it. You never know…

I have a very special seiko incoming with a very nice story behind it. It's a 5126-8130 "rally" in a very good condition. Look it up and let me k ow what you think of it I have the silver dial coming.

I like the NF but like many a GS, it is ruined by the power reserve complication (at least on the NF it goes down versus up as the power wanes unlike the illogical GS’ power reserve).

I thought I was the only one who liked the north flag and everyone waiting for it to die off 😂

Nothing quite like your first high end watch , never had quite the same experience after the first purchase. Perhaps the one quality piece and a couple of affordable pieces may have been the way to go ...

Your Air King is also a superb time tool. It will rise in future, especially if Rolex discontinues.

Bruce you aren't wearing that, it's dangling....

I'm in between this one or an IWC Ingenieur, just want one watch with integrated bracelet in my collection.

These north flag prices have shot up in the last 2 years.

His name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls him Giorgio.

I think this video just might have made the price shoot up a little lol

Tudor discontinued the North Flag according to my AD. Really sad as I wanted to buy it and now I can't find it anywhere.

It’s a cool watch but the strong yellow is just a little too much for my tastes . If the accents were red I would have purchased it .
