It comes with one or the other. I purchased the rubber separately.

Breitling is actually growing on me a bit. I've been looking at the Chronomat GMT in Ice Blue lately.

No. Either the SS or rubber are available with a $70 discount on the rubber versus steel.

That would be cool!

He's got a few years on me but he's a handsome devil. 😂

I really appreciate the comments! I also agree with you re: mixed feelings - particularly on the rounded links and the WR is a sticking point for me as well. I actually think the case dimensions work pretty well but I have an 8" wrist so a chunkier case is fine for me and the 4 O'Clock crown is something I like. For someone picking up their first new mechanical and needs to have something mostly for work, etc. I still think it's a nice option and good value. As you progress through this type of watch...a GADA...maybe next is something like a MIDO TV Big Date then maybe something like a Monta Noble and I think the journey completes for most with something like an Omega Aqua Terra. Obviously a ton of choices along the way but hey, that's why we love this thing, right?! Many thanks for the subscribe!

I would agree. This is why I use the rubber strap most of the time.

Tsuyosa Small Second. NK5010-51L.

Thanks for your comments! I agree!

That movement has definitely been bolstered to be extremely tough, yet as you say it's a pretty fancy watch that gets a LOT of attention! Cheers.

Good problems to have perhaps?

Cheers to that!

It was getting cold.

I had a great laugh, made my day. Thanks!

Agree. I guess it can be viewed as "big" when you look at the spectrum of popular watch sizes, particularly now with all the 36mm and 37mm rage. 42mm is nice on my 8" wrists.

Both amazing watches. Marathon has been haunting me lately...

Absolutely!

@ Thanks for the reply! This what I’m going to do when I get the Aqua or the new blue!

When I saw the blue I was like "Arggghh! I want it!" But alas...one Ingenieur is enough for me and I also love the black.

@ the black is amazing! I just have so many other black dial watches that I’m trying to mix it up now.

2021 Les Paul Standard with the "unburst" finish. Super solid beast much like the Sinn! :-)

Glad you enjoyed! MIDO is a sleeper brand IMO.

@ That’s great . Your video has confirmed my decision on my Mido purchase. A Christmas gift to myself. Lol Keep up the great work.

8" - had to order an additional link with the original bracelet but took it out with this new clasp. It is a fantastic addition to the Ingenieur.

Thanks and agree!

Cheers and enjoy both classics!

The Mido MultiStar is from 1972. It's very cool and I think they may be the originator of the vintage TV vibe. As for square watches the Cartier Santos was released in 1904!

@ okay. Still love the TV watch. Looks more expensive than it really is and beautiful for what you get.

💯

Agree 💯! Cheers!

it’s nice, how much?

Glad you liked it!

Hope you have a Merry MIDO Christmas!

I've always liked them and they seem to keep stepping it up.

Thank you for clarifying.

You're reit, I should do that. Maybe I'll do that toneit.

@@ConstantCadence LOL. Love the response. Followed.

I have explored the documentation fully and, unfortunately, this watch does not seem to have a LED light! I don't think it matters to me though! Thank you very much for commenting!

Only the Display is Illuminated in orange

The MIP offers way more than I'll ever use but it's great having all you need at a glance. I agree with you on the compass bezel...I wonder if anyone will actually use that? Then again, I don't use ANY bezels on any of my watches, and then only to have a little clicky fun.

This watch is a must have in the collection list even though it doesn't have atomic time or compass etc., it's great looking and lume as well as that MIP giving it breitling aerospace looks are enough for me to buy it ❤❤❤❤❤ lovely lovely watch 👌

You don’t really notice the bezel in person.

Well I didn't know who that was and I can't say I'm glad I do now, but I suspect he pronounces his name with a hard "s" as typically used with the word "sin" where Sinn is pronounced more like "Zin"...which should remind you of the tasty and potent red grape/wine, Zinfandel. Follow me for more tips and coping mechanisms. 😂😆🍷⌚

@ConstantCadence he was wearing the watch before one of his videos hence why it's hard, no pun intended, to get a Sinn on my wrist, thanks for the review anyhow

I feel your pain. Resistance is futile! 😂

Funny you should mention those two things - I was thinking the same thing and noticed duration wasn't too hot and the fact that I lingered on the still a bit too much. I may actually incorporate some sort of activity in the narrative in the future...maybe tennis or paddle boarding or driving...just need to figure out the camera work. I truly appreciate your feedback.

Thank you. I truly appreciate the feedback! Up next I'm thinking a Sinn 556 A RS review.

@@ConstantCadence Hey Matt! Thought I'd let you know, since your video got me to do it.. I just bought my first "serious" watch (other than a couple of g-shocks I've owned previously) this saturday. I decided on a black/gray dial Mido Multifort TV Big Date with a bracelet. Truly thankful to have found your channel, happy holidays!

@@tomasroznovjak3089 That is AWESOME! I'm actually wearing mine now. You are going to love the watch for years to come. I also highly recommend the rubber strap if thats something your interested in - the orange is amazing with your dial. Happiest of holidays to you, Tomas!

I think a green face with a brown leather strap is a SOLID go to as far as watch/strap colors go. That being said, rubber isn't leather. I think that rose gold version is FIRE and I think that brown rubber strap will look awesome on both watches.

Fancy right?! 😂

Love to hear it!

Agree! It's a great value IMO at around $1k.

Thanks! Should be fun...as long as I don't break anything! 😂

@@ConstantCadence i know that feeling good all too well. My daughter has taken up tennis so I get to chase tennis balls and try to keep up.

Thank you! It's a Standard with the "unburst" finish FYI.

True! I talk about this in the review. The case and orange strap are def aligned...but that's where the similarities end. If only the Aquanaut had a big date complication...then I might consider it! 😁😆😎💸

The Mido Multifort TV was released in 1973, three whole years before Gerald Genta debuted the Nautilus for Patek in 1976. The Patek is the homage.

​​​​@@montys8th the 1973 version looked quite a bit different than this 2023 reissue but your point is well taken!

I try to keep them to around 10 minutes and stick to the basics. Thanks for the comment and thank you so much for subscribing!

Thanks for commenting! What's your style? I'm looking for different watches to review!

@@D3athN0t3 visits to the boutique are by appointment only. I just filled out the Contact Us form on the web site and Alan got right back to me. Interesting about the drilled lugs...I think they are a cool retro look and make bracelet changes easier but some don't like holes in the case. Also, his straps come with quick release spring bars. What do you like about drilled lugs?

@@ConstantCadencedrill lugs gives the flexibility of changing straps that don’t have quick change springbars also prevents from case back scratches due to digging or slipping IMO

Glad you liked it!

I'm not familiar. Is that like Joma?

It's Bronze. It's my first Bronze watch and I really like it. It seems to be finished pretty well also as it hasn't tarnished much but I'm sortof looking forward to that. Apparently, Bronze is about 10% more dense than steel which would explain why it felt a bit heavy with a big Bronze clasp - don't get me wrong there's definitely a place for it but when I'm doing stuff like typing a lot the clasp can get in the way. The Delugs or any minimal clasp with FKM would do nicely I think. I also think Bronze looks really great with leather...just can't wrap my mind around leather with a dive watch...even though most folks that wear dive watches don't actually dive I do swim a lot as a boater and someone who lives on the water. Thank you for commenting!
