Oh BOY! I got hit by a car on my bicycle a few months ago. MESSED ME RIGHT UP! 🤣🤣 but my OP took it like and ABSOLUTE CHAMP! Still keeping PERFRCT time! A few extra scratches on the case. But yeah! She’s been a STAR!
That dude throwing his "Rolex Sports Watch" up in the air does in fact NOT care if it breaks. He can afford to abuse it and that's the flex. It's still stupid but..
as marketers I gotta say I think you dropped he ball, a raffle? Wow, whats next, you want porche do sell a scratch card to win a hat. Talk about devaluing the brand. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😢
Some of us are waiting for Christian to speak on the TPG ordeal. Across several creators theres talk of how you guys did a video together in the early days. Also some are claiming that youre Z who Wesley and Anthony did business with. Not saying any of it is true but we'd love your side.
i love the channel, I really do - but again, you used to promote the plastic coating stickers to stop your watch getting scratched and now, and on many ocasons you say ‘hey wear your watch, let it get scratched.’ Gotta keep on top of the products you are schilling guys. 😂😂😂😂😂
Yes. Driving that darn G Wagon is exhausting. Completely relatable gripe....I'm just hear to here you dunk on Anthony. Come on, let's get to it already.
Or simply Quartz. It is upsetting how so many brands have stopped making quartz. I love my quartz Aqua Terra. Grand Seiko makes quartz as well, but too many brands have stopped (Rolex, Omega,I think even Hublot!).
I have a grey what if, it is far quieter than my other swatches. I can leave it on the bedside table and can't hear it, unlike my other swatches which need to be locked away in a watch box in another room 😂
Really like this episode. We're all bombarded with YT videos telling us how great and incredible the flavor of the month is. But it's rare to find a video talking about the reality of having a demanding princess handcuffed on your wrist day in and day out. I accidently dropped my watch 3 ft on to the floor once and had to send it in for repair. It made me understand Kikuo Ibe's quest to build a G-Shock. Funnily enough, I never remember my dad or grandfather having to take off their watches before doing something like chopping wood or hammering. They never took them off except when showering or going to bed. And they almost never sent them in for servicing. I wonder what the difference is between modern watch movements and back then. Maybe it's not the movement but people's expectations that have changed. Neither my dad nor grandad gave a shit if their watch was off 5 min a day. They'd be like, "why don't you just reset your watch everyday and stop obsessing about it?" Ahh, those were the days, when people had so little to worry about 😂
They totally took them in for servicing. Go talk to old jewelry store guys. If they did not have a watchmaker, they sent the watches to a guy who did nothing but service watches. Winding stems broke all the time. Now, Timex and the like were disposable, so they were not serviced (they had no jewels and were not serviceable). But normal watches were absolutely serviced. Not only that, but toasted and televisions were fixed, clothing was patched, tools were fixed, pans were patched and polished,…, we used to NOT be a disposable society. We must return to our grandparents’ ways.
@@sinesaii Yes, they took them in for servicing. I remember my grandfather doing it one time. I said "almost never" because it was maybe once in 20 years. What I'm curious about is were movements actually more durable back then because the parts were made from higher quality metal or something? Or were my granddad and dad just less picky, so that as long as the watch was running they didn't care if it was "a little broken" or needed servicing. And your right, I remember my grandmother would take in small electronic items (toasters, shavers, TVs, etc) to a local repair shop every now and then. My grandparents never threw anything away. The repair guy would keep them and use them for parts if he couldn't get the item working. But that was during an age when companies built products meant to be repaired and used for decades. Getting society back to that time would require governments ensuring that companies built better products. First, we would need better politicians who aren't corrupt and already bought by those companies. We might as well wish for unicorns and and marshmallow rainbows.
It’s so funny the story of your buddy throwing his Rolex for fun Reminds me of the indestructible Nokia cell phones with the blue screen & black letters and when you popped off the front case there was a rubber pad for the numbers/buttons 😂 That thing was unbreakable As kids we’d literally chuck it like a football down the street . It’d crash land on the street break into a few pieces (battery , front/back case and the rubber button pad And you’d just snap it back together and it was brand new 😂
Christian, I am sorry if this offends your USian sensibilities but Jeeps are not reliable. JD Power rankings has them below industry average. BMW slightly better. I think a nice Hyundai Tuscon would suit you great.
It should be rule #1 of watch collecting. Do not abuse your watches. Beyond that, there is a good reason to keep a couple of beaters in the collection. Casio G shock, Timex Ironman, old Seiko or citizen quartz. Whatever. Something that you won’t shed a tear if you lose it.
Anybody offered a 911 s/t would be a moron to not take it. It could easily be flipped for about 2x so making it sound like it’s ridiculous to have to spend 280k before buying the watch. It’s like saying it’s ridiculous to have to spend retail on a 40th anniversary platinum nautilus at retail to be able to buy another limited edition watch. It shows how clueless they are about the car market.
I've played so much golf my with Rolex', gone amateur diving, been skiing in -30C. and none had to go into an unscheduled service While I would not recommend it, they can certainly handle daily wear and tear
I wear my seiko diver every day to my industrial construction job I also deal with large amounts of electricity which is magnetism and it works Just fine. I guess it's just the expensive ones LOL
LOL christian really showing how out of touch he is when he said he couldn't go below a jeep grand cherokee fully decked out and saying its reliable. love you guys but, no. jeeps are not known as reliable cars and that car will run you the price of 3 hondas.
BTW, it's not the best clients who get the allocation. That's how they phrase it, but what they really mean is the client they know will let them buy it back at cost after 1000 miles, so then the dealer can mark it up (bc Porsche doesn't let that happen, so you see tricks from Porsche dealers like that and also you will hear the car is MSRP but you have to pay $3000 for a paint coating to buy it)
It's not just Porsche design. Another company that makes watches and something completely different is Braun. Braun watches are actually design classics. (I believe I have once seen a Braun clock in Moma Museum of Modern Art). But you can also get a Braun razor or a Braun toaster. (Also well designed).
Here's a problem with the Porsche Design price point: why wouldn't I just buy a Sinn 144 and save $10,000? It's not like the Sinn was some lesser homage watch, these are basically parts watches and they used similar parts. Marc Newsom has made great design across industries, though he's not a brand, his name is almost a brand.
The Rolex Daytona's screw down pushers (not the crown) are not for water resistance, but rather for protection when knocking them or accidentally pushing them under water. This has been proven already.
Porsche isn't an expensive hobby... You can get a 987 for $40K CDN or a 997 for $50K CDN. In some circles considered the best Cayman or Carrera to get. They're the last analog Porches. I got my 08 Cayman S for $37K with 65K km in 2018 from the dealership. What an incredible car! It has 1 purpose. FUN!
The Porsche Design watch is not for a GT3 Buyer bur for the 911 S/T buyer. That is a lightweight limited edition based on the GT3 RS. So even more special than a GT3 and a bit more expensive. Starts at 291 650$ in USA.
Modern ceramic Rolex watches are not as durable as pre-ceramic models. Rolex are luxury “tool” watches. The movements are tough but when they added ceramic bezels? That just made the watch susceptible to shattering. They should have kept aluminum bezels.
What a coincidence. I was actually wondering why would a microwave oven produce strong magnetic fields. And I remember to test mine today. It doesn't. I've tested in every way. I'm not saying that you're wrong, some might have some magnets to hold the door closed or something but strong magnetic fields are not inherent. Mine produces a max of 0.6 Gauss. Nothing to worry about. Both of my earphones' cases emit 20+ Gauss, when measured at 0 distance. Now that's something that could affect a not particularly magnetism resistant watch. Anyway, it's much easier to have fixed that damage due to shock or water ingress. Don't even have to open the case.
Have an anOrdain and the dial just started to rotate. I didn’t do anything crazy - it just happened. Crap just happens sometimes. (Of course, I emailed them, they sent a label to me, it went back to Scotland and they fixed it. Zero questions or trouble. Still looks amazing.)
I was out running at night, and hit my Pelagos on a massive steel post in an alleyway. I really hit it hard, and there was one hell of a clunk. When I got home, there were metal shards everywhere. I must admit, I started imagining the huge bill! But I got a needle out and pushed it through each of the grip grooves around the bezel, and in the end, all the metal had come from the steel post. There was a bit of a small mark on the bezel, and the case, but this has disappeared over time, with general titanium wear and tear. What a watch!!!
Porsche Design is actually a separate company and was founded as a Design studio independent of Porsche, so yes it is very different than just a gimmicky add-on for a 911, as they are a standalone product :)
Agree completely. Sounds like car dealers nickeling and diming. The watch and the car are amazing but the dealers should have raised the Porsche price to include the watch. Also, anyone who flips the watch is a complete tool who doesn’t respect that beautiful chrono.
I had a stainless steel gmt2 , the ceramic glass is easy to scratch , the stainless steel bracelet and case loves scratchs , and the mechanism is old. Such quality shouldn't cost more than 1000 usd . Yet everyone including me are paying 9k usd more for the name 🤦
I am a surgeon and have def almost broken a few of my favorite watches (Patek especially) that don’t have screw down crowns or crown guards… when I take off my gloves after treating a patient the glove gets behind the crown and as I take off the glove, bam, the crown pops out .. gets me upset every time and for this reason I hardly wear those watches at work
Bertucci or INOX Quartz are pretty tough. Quartz is tough in general, although my Seiko Astron is at Seiko in NJ, with Seiko charging me $407 for a service. That watch was $2,000 and Quartz. I did not plan on a service, so who knows.
I chop trees and use shovels to knock rocks all the time while wearing my watches (mostly Seiko movements). I walk past airport security scanners all the time (with from Rolex to Seiko), and they are all fine. Those watches can take a beat. But I also agree that don't take your watch to unnecessary dangers. At the end of the day, if they broke, you pay the bill to fix them.
I love swatch but I''m not into the new square ones, I think they should focus on making there normal watches better if they're gonna keep pushing the prices out of the affordable range
Once I was wearing my 1601 in the countryside and I had to dig a hole and forgot to take it off, the rotor came loose. I could open it and fix it, nothing was broken, I just disassembled and re clamped the rotor, as I’d only had it, for I had brought no other watch and had to stay quite some time after that. Had it serviced when I went back to the city though LoL.
Your next car (if you can get one) is the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser! Dodge/Jeep are not the most reliable and BMW’s are a nice ride but all the electronics eventually start going, one sensor at a time. No one touches Toyota! Beautiful and literally built to last! Check out pics of the Land Cruiser.
Totally agree about making a portion of LE watches available to people who haven’t already dumped a bunch of cash with the brand. My first serious watch was the Omega Speedmaster 60th anniversary LE, and I called the boutique the morning the watch was announced. I expected them to put me at the back of the line because I had no buying history, but I was put at the top of their list and got the watch a few months later. I was very appreciative that Omega welcomed my interest, and didn’t play so hard to get.
something i have never heard anyone talk about is that spring bars typically are magnetized. test on a compass before you attach to your watch. simple to remove with amazon tool but i have never heard a channel discuss.
Once the loose spring on my Milgauss fell out of the bracelet when I was on the security check line at the airport, gladly I managed to find it on the floor😔
Tim Mossi once suggested a Submariner could be with you in the boardroom, on the dance floor, in the ballroom, in the bedroom, and I could roll around in the mud. I rolled around in the mud, and I broke my Submariner
I'm not American so its funny you called it a "polo shirt" and asked for the brand... like you just said what brand it was, Polo... its the Polo Ralph Lauren blue floral mesh btw I have it too lol
You seem to forget that most people aren't into watches, so just because someone wants an awesome car doesn't mean they want a 13k watch they've never heard about just because it matches the car from the same company, right after going through a list and choosing between extra equipment that they actually want for the car that they're excited to buy. Be sure, just because someone is rich doesn't mean they're frivolous. Fun video though, keep it up guys!
Honestly, the water resistance issue is frustrating. You have all of these watch youtubers (sorry Michael and Christian) saying don't take your watch in water but even the most minimally WR watches of 30m surely can handle a pool when they are rated to over 90 FEET!
30M in a static pressure environment (as in 30 bars of pressure from water) vs swimming around in a pool where the water pressure is dynamic & random are two very different things. it’s hopefully/probably/maybe fine, but risking hopefully/probably/maybe with a breguet seems like a bad idea to me
@@rasmusblomberg7373 Wrong, to approach the level of dynamic pressure that could affect your watch is impossible for a human. Plenty of posts and calcs written by physicists if you search the watch forums. Also, when a serious watch brand says that their watches are water resistant to x m they mean x m as long as the seals are fresh. Of course it doesn’t hurt to occasionally have a watch pressure tested.
I would suggest you look into getting the new gle400 with the Amg package. It’s a dream to ride in and if you get a good color like the metallic black or pearl white then your pretty much set for best car to drive
Maintenance is expensive and God save you if you damage anything, plus insurance for a young guy (although he is in a non-urban area, so perhaps it might not be too bad, but mine on a mustang v8 when I was young was $2,000 every six months, and my friends M5 was more, and that was twenty years ago. I think it is better to go Toyota or Honda and put one’s money is watches.
You would be right if he didn’t have the company , he can the just write it of as his company car like he probably does now with the G class. And if he gets the GLE400E with the Hybrid system he’s also going to save some bucks. I mean it can only be cheaper for him than his massive g class 😂
From what I hear 👂 is the older 48h Rolex movement's are indestructible compared to the new Rolex movement's that seem to need services more frequently. I spoke with 3 different watchmakers about it and all said the same thing
I have an older Seiko samurai with the hardlex Chrystal and aluminum bezel that I use on duty and patrol. It works great and hasn’t skipped a beat. Every once in a while a scratch or ding will appear on the aluminum bezel insert that I’m sure would have shattered ceramic.
