The bi-directional bezel is easier to measure elapsed time. For example, if measuring a two or three hours deadline. In measuring minutes, the even numbers on the bezel equals increments of five minutes. I no longer use analog chronographs because of presbyopia. Bezels are visible and intuitive. But that's just me.

I use my submariner every single day. Don’t regret it.

#1. Don't buy a Rolex! Don't be a sucker!

❤❤❤

I honestly think those black bezels and white dial look really gimmicky and make expensive watches look exciting and cheap. Whit tends to go with silver or steel case, the best and thinner bezel. That black bezel on white dial limits the strap option, too. You add another color, it automatically become 3 colors unless its black or white, and that becomes even more gimmicky.

I sure hope they release that variation! I would definitely buy one!

A marriage of form and function.

I just tried the black on the rubber and the gold on. They are incredible. But yeah they are expensive so it’s hard. But I thought they were so awesome

Well Im betting 99.9% of Dive watch owners dont go below 100 feet,or the deep end of a swimming pool much less 200 meters, yet dive watches are even more popular. Its also a safe bet more people travel across time zones than are people that dive 200 meters,so yes I agree with you. Still, I "need" one😂

Just picked mine up at the OMEGA BOUTIQUE

What would you add to this video if you had the Big Pilot 43 in your hands ?

I see it differently. I remember the 70s and 80s when nobody wore huge, colossal watches. Aside from the Pop Swatch, oversized "UFO" watches were not common back then. The current trend towards smaller watches feels like a return to normalcy, moving away from the recent years where ostentatious, "look-at-me" designs dominated the horology world. This shift represents a welcome return to subtlety and refinement. I have worn 44mm watches, in fact, I still have one. But nowadays my three favorite watches are 32mm, 34, and 35mm. Small simply looks better to me.

exactly the last point happened to me on my trip to Antarctica this year. It's such an under the radar watch and even some watch enthusiasts don't know the Cellini line. I met one watch enthusiast while dining and he kept looking at my watch and then asked me, what kind of watch is that. When I told him it's the Rolex Cellini, everyone at the table turned their heads; I think they didn't expect it to be a Rolex.

More importantly than my 124270 story/journey (3 years - one watch collection)…I’m sorry for your loss my brother. I pray you and your family are well, and God bless you all.

I have the five digit black dial explorer 2 and it is absolutely the best daily wearer (for me). The additional complications make it super practical versus the plain OP or explorer 1 and is also something to spice up the watch while keeping me engaged with it. Wearability is also fantastic (which sadly I can’t say is the same for the 6 digit variants…). I only wish Rolex made a 40mm more elegant modern version of the explorer 2… :) thank you for this video and love your content!

It's the extra hand, everyone loves an extra hand 😅

I use mine more than my other watches, the others which arguably I don’t “need”. Anyway, I do travel frequently, and I’m an active investor who needs to know what time it is on Wallstreet.

I bought it and enjoy it but it’s too thick. I changed the bracelet to a RubberB strap and feel much better on the wrist. I’m a fanboy of Tudor. I also have the Pelagos 42 blue date, 41 BB, and BB gmt opaline dial. They don’t fit like my Starbucks or mint Green Day just

I won't say what brand I work for but I can say the most cases we see come in damaged (not just scratched but broken lugs and cracked mid cases) include ceramic and carbon cases. If you are worried about wear and tear then stick with titanium and steel. IMO

I like a GMT because I use it as a 24hr clock for when I need to reset the date. Not a need at all, but a slight convenience

Love my cheap watches. 😂😂 what else would I wear on the battlefields of Brooklyn!

@tudor This watch in a black Bay 58 case size with a jubilee 🙏

I really like world timer bezels, as opposed to vanilla GMT's. I travel to Europe from USA once per year and take my Casio AE1200WH (Casino Royal movie). I do have a Citizen world timer. I also have a couple of watches with GMT hands, but I did not buy them because of it. They simply looked nice.

I live in Newfoundland where our timezone doesn't allow for a GMT to function as intended. Or am I understanding the GMT function incorrectly? Anyone able to advise?

Great video. Enjoyed it. Interested to see the others in the series, especially as I try to justify buying a moon phase 😂

Can we apply these points to wives? Seriously though great video all very true. The points that resonate most: Buy quality Enjoy the chase Another piece of advice I’d offer is a financial damage control one. When I first started £5k was an enormous amount of money for a watch. Years on I’ve bought watches in excess of £10k! It’s a slippery slope The advice is this: rather than a number of watches set yourself a financial limit and do what you want within that limit. A single £10k masterpiece, 3 £3k pieces or ten micro brands, just stay within the limit

I feel GMT’s have all that’s needed in a sports/tool watch. Date is more a solid day to day need. GMT hand is a luxury on top of the luxury. Of course it takes 3-4 mins max to hack the watch and re set the time if you don’t have a gmt function. But hell yeah it feels great when you just fast forward and pop back on. I’m considering 3 GMT’s in my corner! Explorer 2 - my favourite Gmt master ii (bruce wayne) - better sizing than the E2 Grand seiko sbgn 003 - the most accurate fun gmt strap monster. I’m over i need a dive watch for diving, dress watch for dinners ect.

Seriously this channel is one of the best watch channels I’ve been subscribing🎉

One and done? Very funny. Only if you're not really a watch collector and enthusiast...

GMT and dive bezel watches have got to be two of the least used functions. But we all love them both......even if I only use a GMT function for 2 weeks a year🙂

I fight for you for extra dial do I wanted yes do I need it hmmm don't judge me I am a gen A to Zed I can do what ever I want :)

I saw my first Sub on the wrist of a diver in Singapore when I was 14. To me, it is the Porsche 911 of wristwatches. It's design and utility embody the principle that "form follows function". So eventually I bought one and I love it everyday. However surely the vote for the 'greatest' watch of all time must go to the Girard-Perregaux 1966 chronometer? This was the world's first wrist watch chronometer and allowed the public to have wrist watch accuracy going forwards. Obviously, I wanted to say Harrisons marine chronometer (1730) but you could argue that was a clock. Still I always love an homage to my greatest wristwatch every - The Sub.

gmt is useful, not only for finding zulu time but keeping home base time while traveling or keeping in sync with another country while traveling. my friend used to wear a dual dial watch.

for me the apple watch would be used for health monitoring, I clip on an automatic gmt watch in addition the digital as a backup in case of battery failure. it works for me.

I don’t travel as much as used to. I do find it a fun and useful feature. But mostly I like the look and design of the GMTs. Lots designers can do with the extra hand and bezel.

I just learned about NG a year or so ago and have been looking up their offerings. As a wristfully challenged individual I can’t get over their dimensions. Love what they’re doing. I’m so excited.

These days we spend more time looking at our cell phone (iphone etc) so having a GMT watch on our wrist is not as relevant as before. As you said it is a novelty.

Rolex explorer did not go to Everest. It's pure Rolex mythology.

Why does the bezel read 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 ???

Never needed one, but in my 55th year and travelling much more now, it is definitely on my radar.

Simple answer - most people like having a bit of color and like the design and novelty.

I love my 11681 bought her in 2018 still a stunning

Don‘t forget: Millionaires wear a Swatch or even no watch.

18 months since the initial news release and these still aren’t for sale. Omega Vaporware.

absolutely beautiful

Best bet - order something from a bespoke maker - Garrick, AB, RGM, RS, etc. and bespoke it to your liking. Once you have a bespoke watch that you designed the touches on yourself, that nobody else in the world has, then you will never go back!
