5:13 is strange that Marathon used this guy as the watch matter and turning that roter with his bare finger😂

it's a nice watch but too much homage to GS an Rolex. Not for me

I dig it, but can’t see it as a hall of famer (proportions feel like an Oceanus). They’ll pull the pin on it by 2026 and then it’ll be priced into stratosphere from then on :-S

Love original Silberstein’s, never pulled the trigger on a vintage one cos finding a replacement pushers/parts would be a royal PITA.. but yeah totally agree about this release… don’t want the watch but I do want what they were smoking in the design room when they came up with this one! lol

I wish they made this watch in titanium with a titanium bracelet

great video! I can tell a lot of work went into this, good job

Thank you for the interesting comparison. I am sure the Lacos and Stowas are nice watches with some nice bang for buck, but the IWC is a different league altogether in terms of finishing, design and features.

I bought number 94 in the production and it's a head turner of a watch it's a sexy piece in real life

The cartoon is really lame. Liked it until I saw that.

Can I buy it for 3900 pesos? Is that the way it works? 😂

This and the fellah that does the clown face with the eye, check is at the end of his name,just don't like that look .

Perfect review! Planning on getting the GMT, but its a shame they dont offer it in this dial color Earned my sub :)

AUD 6500 not Euro.

Looks very gery beautifull. Love it. But for an Sellita Movement wich is not inhouse i think 6.500€ is a little bit Expensive. When i was think about Tudor for example. But Raymond weil has a good Name in Europe.

I've had the Laco before and currently have the IWC MkXX. Laco is a great brand and the watch is good, but I have to say the IWC is sublime in its user experience, at least for me. It wears so well on the bracelet and is currently my favourite watch. I know it's a lot more money for sure, but it's a forever watch for me. The Laco got sold and I don't miss it.

There’s also Stowa

Wonderfull Video. Good Text and good Pictures. Abbo is klicked. Love Fliegerwatches. I wish i can get the mark xx some times.. laco is wonderfull. But the mark xx has 5 days reserve and the best bracelet for fliegers. Your Intro is cool love the Chello Sound. Keep going. Greetings from Austria.

Congrats! But oh man! I love checking out who’s corrected the rear track on random 70 series Cruisers as a hobby lol

Wait till you see the kingfisher sunburst blue dial on the 39mm CW Sealander...

6:13 I don't have the money, nor do I have the urge to buy all the so-called important pieces that mark defining moments. So I'm suddenly not a watch lover? That's no philosophy, that's bullshit.

Let’s just be grateful that Toyota still produces this relic.

It's 100k and another 100k so you can live with it.

Still around the $100G mark?

This guys right! Fix that fkn wheel track. Can’t stand driving behind these things. I have a Hilux and a Hiace awd and I agree with all these point. Whoever is arguing that it’s a work horse, it’s 2024 ya doosh canoes. The wheel track was wide at the front because of the V8. Now it’s a 4. Fix it ya Gronks. For ages the gxl came with an upgraded digital clock out of a 1995 celica. Not good enough.

It's a Toyota... work horse... not a Honda

You obviously dont know why people buy toyotas. If you want a luxury car then buy a mercedes and have fun with the service bills

You buy a working horse and you complain that not an arab. But u can be sure that this car goona drive even after u get 100 years old

waiting for FM rabbit limited edition 😉

I dont get all the people out there complaining about not being able to afford a rolex so that is their reasoning behind hating. I mean, it's not for you then, right? It's like hating Rolls Royce for not selling an affordable car, or not being able to afford a yacht, or not capable of eating caviar because they cant afford it. No common sense. No one has any right or even entitlement to own something. If you cant afford, you cant afford then. Theres nothing wrong with that. Why the hate?

Well said.

❤

Jist found the channel. Initial response, you guys seems interesting. Good editing, I see a bright future for you guys! Keep it up.

Golden hands will always beat the silver hands.

Hi, regards from Pakistan Alliance Logistics

Bullshit. You don't Have to buy overpriced watches from iconic brands. Alot of micro brands offer much better features. Meaning micro brands TRY HARDER for our business.

I have one, and although it's a great watch, the case finishing is quite poor

'What other watch is going to give you that?' Perhaps watches shouldn't be political to make a timeless point.

Checked out Vesterhav by Henry Archer?

Everyone but divers are hung up on dive watches

It seems rather expensive...

I LOVE finding new and interesting watch content!!! Got my sub💪👊

No one is going to pay 10k for a Studiounderd0g watch with a Sellita movement. The brand has niche in the watch market which includes price. As it is, it’s 2k for the salmon dial watch with a Sellita movement.

Rolex hates the consumers.

the price. until 2000 a Datejust or an Explorer cost a monthly salary. now triple or quadruple: unjustified The purchasing experience. you have to be a good customer, that is, buy other things first just to get on the waiting list! (a bribe) the list. we all know it's artificial scarcity

The AD waitlists and grey market just sucks. However, the watches are fantastic. The reason they are so desirable is that they are recognizable and have only changed slightly over the years. To be recognizable it needs to be somewhat common. I love my submariner. When I see someone else wearing one we acknowledged each other, like Harley or Jeep owners. It’s cool.

Much of the Rolex hate has been surrounding how ADs work. ADs preferentially selling to volume flippers created increased scarcity and frustration for potential new buyers. This peaked during the pandemic. Now that Rolex purchased Bucherer, I would like to see them gain more control over sales and distribution.

Rolex is the Seiko of the wealthy. Why people would beg a Brand or Dealer, for a mass produced watch, is beyond me. Having to make small talk, to justify why I want to purchase, or listen to the suggestion that I need to purchase things, I don’t want, to be considered, to give you my money, is akin to a strung out drug addict, groveling for drugs. It’s not like I’m dying and need a Kidney, so I sit on a wait list, hoping I get the call before I die. If you want a Rolex, go to the secondary market and buy what you want. Supply and demand dictates price. Worth is relevant to how bad you want it. Or, be patient and eventually the dealers will be giving discounts, on what they need to move, before next year’s inventory comes in and they sit on their cash. By that time the discounts, on the secondary market will be fat when all the hype buyers figure out it’s a mass produced watch they over paid for and want some of their money back out of it.

Projected value and prestiege is something that is universally agreed, if you project but it's not receptive to anyone then the value doesn't exsist. So I guess we're all just really good actors in playing along with the scheme. Personally, I understand that Rolex has a place at the heart of the Swiss Watch Industry, but I don't thinking they should be lauded as the absolute watch brand that some people carry on for. There is plenty of love to go around and every brand has its own unique spin on the craft of watch making and expressing horology. Shout out to my most unmentioned brand Carl F. Bucherer. Thanks for bringing about this discussion though. I love that the watch industry is very self-aware and open to have these heated discussions for something so meaningless in the grand scheme of the universe.

Some people like Rolex, some don't. Worrying about it is a waste of time.

Overrated and overpriced and waitlist?? =DDD really =)) =)). Not to mention 70% people around me wearing Rolex know nothing about watch, literally nothing. Some of my friends just buy Rolex to look like a business man doing transactions, and they ask me when they need to change the battery :)) :)).
