If a watch doesn’t have a micro on the fly tfit adjustment I won’t buy

I have CW with the 330 and it’s amazing usually within 2 seconds a day and smooth as silk to wind and set. You need to look closer at the finishing it is easily the equivalent of Tudor.

Being compared to watches twice the price and over is praise enough 💯

If you are gonna spend $2,400 get a used Tudor. Much better value for your money.

I would never choose a monta over a ball gmt & they're priced the same

If you purposely shake the watch then you may hear the rotor ceramic bearing but are you heating the rotor bearing when you wear the watch normally ? No. Necessarily no. Furthermore tapping on the watch as you did and shaking it too is not normal use for it and may damage it…

My go to watch is a 31mm grand Seiko, it actually depends on your wrist size not the watch size

I love this club so much

Great video!! Armand Nicolet is definitely not a microbrand, but an independent. They've been around since 1875. They are popular in other parts of the world, just not very well known in the US. And for this reason, you can get a great watch that is very well made from Switzerland for a great price. Very underrated brand.

About video & audio quality: highlights blown out, about one stop too bright. Audio at level too low. Whatever video editor you are using try to keep the audio levels hovering around -12 dB and peaks at -6 dB (digital/absolute). It is OK to record at lower level but turn the volume up in post.

I’m rocking the the same watch with black dial and my wrist is 7.25” it looks good 👍🏼 was thinking about getting the datejust 36mm but no need with the maxi case lugs it wears same as the 36 datejust

2 questions about bracelet. Is it hollow and light? Is it sharp at all in any place? Thx cool vid.

Giant watches are just stupid. They’re not classy, they’re not sporty, they’re just dumb. Nothing says you’re ready to go do some outdoor active stuff like a giant steel dinner plate on your wrist. The only acceptable reason for a watch to be 40+mm is if it’s some bulky chronograph, or it’s made to operate the bezel with gloves, or it has some bulky shock absorbing system, or it needs a giant legible face for scuba diving. To wear a giant watch for no reason other than looks is just dumb.

34 to 36mm is the proper size for watches like this; the 41mm perpetuals and datejusts are an abomination in my opinion. They are way to large for the style of watch that they are. The problem started with sports watches all going 42mm+ for the past few years so the watch companies thought it was a good idea to make all of their watches that size. Thankfully common sense is returning to the watch industry and we are seeing the more dressier options come back down in size a bit.

Awesome video brother! And I agree. As a guy with 6.25” wrists, I’ll go a step further and say that we need more 34/35/36mm divers.

It's worth less now good job.

Why would you do that to a vintage watch?

thanks a lot for sharing your experiences, I think I'll skip the blue BB Chrono and go for the Omega AT Summer Blue instead.

Yes some Speedmasters be off a half a hair. But not a full second

Looks fantastic!

Tudor is great. Next to a Rolex you can feel it's a little less quality in the construction but it's solid. Tudor Easily ranks up there with a seamaster or aqua terra's Winding of the watch? That's how B01's wind. No big deal. Better than valjoux 7750's

Looks clean! I’m going with a 36MM.

Puuh not my style own a datejust 41 it's minimum for me

Who in 2024😢😢❤❤❤

i have 1216cm wirst and im thinking in a 34mm watch thxs for the review!

Oisin On alley said winding it is like rowing a boat! Again I don't mind that either,its a bada$$ time machine it should feel like this. Besides it loosens up a bit w/ age I hear.

I only have one problem, I like the watch so much I'm having a hard time giving my other watches some air time.

Exactly what I needed. Thanks ser.

I think it all started w/ rappers in videos,they always had monsters on. I don't know how Rolex measures them cause I tried on a date just the other day,the jeweler told me it was 40 mm. It did look small & I don't care for huge pieces.

Inolvidable experiencia estar allí en un partido europeo

A couple of years ago I was at the AD about the pull the trigger on the Tudor panda and didn’t because I saw the chronograph hand would not reset exactly to 12 o clock position so didn’t buy. I have a Pelagos FXD and it’s already been to Tudor twice in a year. When setting time the hacked second hand jumps like it is catching and the bezel action is awful. It’s not a Rolex. First and last Tudor.

You just use a paper clip or a toothpick - takes 30 seconds The watch is a panda chronograph and it's got date window and you can swim with it.. the watch is proper badass Looks good in the Sun! 😂🎉

Been enjoying my BB monochrome, no issues. Not to gloat but to offer varying opinions

I’ve seen videos on KZbin how to reset it if it does this maybe you should give it a try

Ive just received this exact watch id rather the bezel was ceramic but the tudor that its based off isnt ceramic either.I prefer it being 39mm and thinner than the tudor.

Great video , thank you !

I feel for you on this issue. Hang in there. Watches are complex mechanical devises and things can and will go wrong. No watch company is perfect with zero defect otherwise they would not offer a warranty. Cars are the same. The best cars in the world have issues and recalls. No different with a mechanical watch. I suspect the sweep hand tube may have slipped slightly on the center pinion under a possible hard reset from the bottom of the dial. Likely will just have a new sweep hand installed and set and you will be good to go.

I own two Armand Nicolet watches A great micro brand for a great price

built your own computer and your desk behind you will look more amazing. my build PC was 5k now my office is free of apple.

I have this watch in the white/silver dial. My crown is difficult too. What I do when winding is hold the crown still and turn the watch to wind it. It sounds weird but doing it this way saves my fingers.

If it's too small give it to your woman.

Id rather wear a small watch, than a huge metal chunk around my wrist.

Nice - bought mine (first iteration, blue, 39mm) a solid 12-13 years ago for less than 2K, preowned full set too. Works perfectly !

I’ve owned a Hamilton jazz master chrono and that watch is build like a tank…15 years no service on the winder all the time and it runs perfect. On the same note, my Speedmaster, Seamaster professional 300, Tudor BB GMT, and Breitling galactic 41 zero issues…but my steinhart and Squale did have many issues when I first got them. Luckily Gnomon who sold them to me serviced it and since then no problems. Hope you get yours sorted out asap. I know that feeling, it makes you uneasy

Just subbed. I have had some BAD watch experiences so after 4 months of non- stop wear my new TAG HEUER Glass Box Carrera……blue, tri-compax, date at 6:00. Runs 4 hrtz and 39 mm. It will take awhile to get comfortable. It was close to $7K USD but man, it’s gorgeous and so far, no problems. Give the new Carreras a look. Fine vid. I do not own a Tudor……yet. :-)

I just purchased a armand nicolet jh9 chronograph on jomashop, beautiful watch nice quality for the price 😎

The reality is that no one cares about what you wear. I have had Rolexes. Blancpain. Iwc. Cartier. Oris and lots of homages. No one has ever said to me, " dude that's a nice watch." The only person that cares is you. Buy and wear whatever you like. No one gives a shit at what you have on your wrist.

I fell asleep after 48 seconds

It's sad when the fakes with mecca quartz movements are better than the original

I’m a man and wear a 34mm OP daily. It’s perfect.
