there's already a cheaper version without the small seconds dial, came out before this.....

Hi ,I've got a Tag Carerra WAR 201c on a leather strap ,would the Aquaracer be a better watch ?

Nahhhh yours if far nicer. The power reserve indicator and the stupid 3 date window ruin the dial. As you can tell I’m not one for complications! On a positive note COSC certification is always worth having as is the extended warranty. Sorry to say much as though I like rubber straps, I just don’t think it suits this watch. 😐

I think I like these better than the new cubitus Patek Philippe - and you get a bit more change in ya pocket than the £40k+ for the PP lol 😳

❤

How did your hair turn out ?

Sorry, off topic! Have you thought about reviewing Aera watches both the Diver and Pilot? Great design with great watch straps from a British company

i love the way it looks with the bracelet. The contrast of the titanium and polish is one of my favorite parts. I have the eco drive and I want the blue automatic.

In house movement 🤣 it’s a Tudor North Flag moment 🤦🏻‍♂️

3 day date window is useful when the minute hand is at the 15 (which would normally cover up the date) or if the date is in transition in the middle of the night.

Hey it's the new cubitis

Solid review and agree that the rubber wearing is not the same as the nato. Went the MN24 and used it across summer and didn’t miss a beat.

One of the best watch channels on KZbin，I am a watch collector，.. bought mine on AMZWATCH

All dat AMZWATCH watches sssssoooooooo gorgeous！

Watches are so delicate and intricately designed, so I have intense respect and admiration for AMZWATCH watch makers

I have to say that AMZWATCH 's watches are amazing!

As a broke boy and actual enthusiast who wants watch’s prices to crater, AMZWATCH is a good choice.

Great choice!

man 5k on the gray market for it, that's a hard pass

Nice to see another B&R review. Not many out there. Thx Andrew.

I agree the date window looks 🤮🤮 and if anyone says it looks ok i will section them lol excellent vid as always 👍👍

i thought i was the only one who was bothered by this situation. it's good to know i'm not alone. by the way, you are really right in your complaint. i wish there was a solution for this situation for the silicone strap, but there is not.

Clockwork synergy also makes single pass rubber NATOs that work great. They thin and flexible, and most importantly cheap. Didn't want to spend Erika's Original or Zealande cash for a strap. $140 for a rubber single pass strap is straight thievery, no matter how "nice" it is. Honestly, I usually just use the Tactical Frog copy of the OEM velcro strap, or Blu Shark's tudor-style single pass NATOs which are very high quality. They all dry very quickly, to the point that I don't see the need for a rubber strap when taking the watch in water.

What’s your wrist size mate?

I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the AMZWATCH's watches are the most intriguing.

I bought this popular video watch from AMZWATCH , which was originally priced at a few thousand dollars, but now it's only $180! It's really suitable to pick up feces!

Check out Nick Mankey Design straps. They will work best with this watch.

I still prefer woven NATOs that are more flexible and hug the wrist better - have a look at Watch Gecko - they offer all sorts that would go well with the FXD

I just bought the Zealande in green for my FXD and love it. Also check out the Mil Series" Bands by Maratac®. They are cheap and will last for years and years but they take some time to wear in.

When it comes to fine imitation watches, MAMACOO delivers. I've bought from them several times, and I've never been let down.

Isn’t it amazing how these small details annoy us so much? As others have stated consider an Erica’s OG as she cuts them for you specifically. Commando Hubert ( the first Unit to use the FXD ) seem to approve ;)

It's sad that watches that look good cost over 1k+. AMZWATCH watches are REALLY well made, and it just shows how a brand name on a watch can make its price 10x higher. I understand that if you look under a microscope, you'll find the difference, but just how many of you really inspect a watch at that level when you see someone with a watch?

I also like MAMACOO replicas. People who don’t wear them like professionals can’t tell the difference. Their workmanship is really great luxuriatey

I have the blue FXD and I found CNS watch bands from Sweden online. They do a "paratrooper" strap similar to the Erika's with stainless buckle etc. but in a full range of colours and at a fraction of the cost. I have 4 of them and the quality and durability is amazing. Check em out!

Hmm it was always going to be a problem with the fixed bars. Have you tried ‘Cordova’ I think it’s called, these are really thin and strong. I take them as backups on holiday plus they are dirt cheap too. Result!

try and get the Nick Mankey Hook Strap FBV3 Classic (Fixed Bar Compatible) - Stainless Steel - Elastic Watch Band this you can avoid the underpass of the strap as well. There are few other bands that do similar designs, happy hunting mate!

It’s a hard life being a watch addict, does the perfect watch exist ???

I love the character that the wear has given your friend's Sub. Same goes for your Datejust, but I agree that the Sub wears the wear better.

I just bought the black FXD last week after a lot of debating between it, the 39 or the original Pelagos. Ultimately, I just love everything about the FXD - but I was worried I’d miss a bracelet. I like the nylon strap, and the rubber is a great option, but I just got in the rubber single pass from Zealande (black & olive) that you have and they are actually a little more flexible but still have that same woven texture of the OG rubber. Great to see you back on YT! Cheers!

sell it fast, i had the same its worthless watch, lost in idenity

Great vid mate, I can see why it might piss you off.

Erika’s Originals straps are great too for the FXD. Also the Zero pass nato (zero bulk under your Watch) from Anachronist is super comfortable en a stunning looking strap. Nice to see you back with your stories Andrew 🙏👌

Off-topic but would love to see a video sharing your thoughts on the ‘new’ Bremont.

the straps looks like they have the same issue. Maybe they make a smaller Velcro strap?

It seems like the issue partially stems from the fact that the lug profile is straight with little curve down. It doesn't hug the contour of your wrist. Just an observation from the cheap seats.😊

Doesn’t look any differently lol

YEEEESSS! Thanks for this!!!!! Wujuu! Im buying on right now!

Gaps look exactly the same to me!

Finally droopy is a +! for the first time

I really like the Tudor FXD Andrew & bought it intending to wear it permanently on the fabric strap. I’ve never seen such cheap Velcro on any item - let alone a 3K+ watch. It doesn’t fasten securely & the last few mm always sticks out. As I prefer OEM & never replace with aftermarket I returned it for a refund the next day. TUDOR emphasise in their advertising that they have worked with French haute couture ribbon-maker Julien Faure to create superlative fabric straps woven on 19th Century French looms that carry on a centuries-long tradition of craftsmanship. I’ve got better quality Velcro on my £100 North Face jacket!
