I like the watch. I find it unique in a sense that its not a copy of anything out there, its very repairavle. At £500 i’d even consider one, but it rn there are better watches at this pricepoint.

I have the ice blue great watch going to start 2025 with it on my wrist

Happy new year Barry! keep up the great videos.

The Baume and Mercier Riviera has to be one of the best İntegrated bracelet watch designs on the market available at an affordable price tag from a well known watch manufacturer

this is one ugly watch

Hi Barry, this is certainly an interesting watch. I note what you say about the longevity of DLC coatings, and feel that B&M missed a trick by not offering a ceramic case. That would have added another dimension to its USP and avoided the wear issue. Although this watch has many excellent qualities I'd rather have a 856, frankly. LG Bob 🍾 🥂

I value your reviews, thank you for your hard work in creating so much useful and informative content. Happy New Year! :)

👍🏽👍🏽

Great value when purchased grey market or second hand the movement is the same as any IWC 5 day

OMG, I think I’ve found my dream Baume. Thanks for the review. The Baumatic movement is so awesome, and then they make this sexy DLC thing. *sigh*

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

If they made a V2, shaved 2mm off the bezel and 1.5-2.5mm off the case. Make it non LE and charge say £400-£500 it would sell well I think if marketed right. I don't mind the movement choice but that thickness looks like it wears top heavy with those retro dimensions. For me its firstly thickness is the deal breaker compared to original watch.

Could you please tell me how the anti-magnetic properties of this watch compare to those of an Omega watch?

Awesome watch! Saw one in person for first time in France. I hv mixed feelings on the dial tho bc I think it is cool, but at the same time feel as though it makes it look a little cheap. I am unsure if others feel the same but thaz how it comes off to me

Awesome sauce watch

19mm lug width? I’m genuinely baffled by such a stupid choice.

Hi Barry, my first impressions of this are that it's a really attractive piece. I do wonder about the wisdom of their branding though: there are several companies called "Timeless" both in new retail and vintage watch markets. They might have a copyright issue to deal with. In common with other viewers I find the website appalling. There is no company information and no detail regarding manufacturing processes. Compare this with the Laco, Muhle-Glashutte and Sinn sites which offer a lot more information. My conclusion is that the product looks good and has potential, but the "company" (whoever they are) does have some serious issues to deal with. End of rant! Happy New Year Barry, Mrs Barry and fellow subscribers. I'm looking forward to more excellent reviews and good news regarding your degree results Barry. It's a big year for you. VG Bob 🍾🍾🍾🥂🥂🥂

Absolutely stunning. Browsing firstclass watches, it's hard to make my mind up between this and the Laco Atlantik . Two different time pieces, but both absolutely are mesmerising

Wrist size?

I'm intrigued and really impressed by the original design, and as a potential customer I have so many questions: why is it called HMS? Why is their website so bad - they don't explain the differences between the versions, they don't give details of the watches at all. Why is the date hole in a larger date hole? It makes no sense. I thought it was a moon-phase for a moment. There is also no transparency in the volume of watches in the LEs: is it per colour, per model?

Nomos for me. I have had the OP 39 and it was a lower quality watch overall than the Nomos, except for the bracelet.

I almost bought one today and i know nothing about watches. Searxhed it today and whoa like millions of videos.

Very interesting piece . It'd be nice if you started with price as standard when refering to first class watches .like the tux style dial but as a package not quite my cup of tea but fair play to the guys for being creative.

Well, thanks for review. No doubt they put some effort and make something unique. When you show that old steam train I understand that connection. But honestly, if I see this thing in a charity shop with £9.99 sticker I would think a little and buy it for that strap:-))

If i was going art deco, it wouldn't go for that

Hello, I've been watching your videos for a couple of weeks and I can't decide between a sinn 556A or the hanhart preventor 9 dlc coated limited edition. I was wondering what your thoughts would be on which one I should choose? Thank you for creating great watch videos!

Great video and its a really good watch. I got same one

I love the look of a flieger watch but struggle to buy one as I love the IWC Spitfire (which I definitely can’t afford) but nothing comes close. This one’s cool BUT the hour hand….. I understand the functionality, I get the reason and I’m sure I’d own it if I flew ME109’s but walking round Tesco? Possibly not.😅

Great review - really shows why this untameable beast of a watchis a must-have for serious collectors!

Seems to be all sold out!

I adore Laco, I have one of their flieger watches. But needs a service :(

Luv Squale… just bought Light Blue 60 Atmo Matic… 👍🙂💥

Bronze… not brass… 👍🙂

This looks great! Nevervhad a Rado in the collection. Was thinking it would be a Captain Cook but this may be what i land on. Thanks!

I just picked one up in Osaka. I love it. No it’s not a vintage pogue. It’s a modern watch with style. It is just beautiful. I appreciate the aluminum bezel that will wear and fad over time as I wear this watch all the time. I have a few seikos. It’s hard to switch them out now.

Lindo relógio, esse modelo é bem autêntico com um acabamento sofisticado show !!🇧🇷❤❤

Does it come with 99 red balloons?

I got an original Pogue for my 18th birthday in 1974. It still runs beautifully to this day and I am now considering to get this new watch to accompany it in my collection.😊

I bought my Sinn 104 St Sa, from first class watches, it was a great experience, the staff were superb, they were very polite and took the time to help me choose the right strap and watch combination. Thoroughly recommend them and of course Sinn.

I have the Erbstuck version and it’s one of my favourite watches in my collection.

I am puzzled as to why Breitling navitimer has such terrible water resistance, especially since the Sinn 903 is the same with 200 meter water resistance. Sinn 903 all the way!

Thank you. As for metal vs blacked out, it is close - black wins by 51%.

Definitely top notch watch. I think that having to send it to Germany for new battery is holding me back.

Thank you for this excellent comparison. For me the SW300 movement is much better than the SW200 (as you mentioned the sw200 has problems if you handwind). Having said that the U1 is more legible and the crown is easier to use since it is larger.

Nice watch but the wnder is too small for my fat fingers.

Lovely watch and nice content 👍

I have a kinetic direct drive and only wear it on vacations in the winter. It has a power reserve dial on it that indicates days weeks months without pushing a button. Had for 3 years and it is still running. Have to wear it for a week to get to a month charge.

Love the PRO versions. 200m WR too. I don’t have one but considering getting one.
