April 1st came early this year.

[@dashwerks]

Yeah he has quite an advanced calendar

[@TheOwlGuy777]

That's nothing. I do every time.

[@menaseven9093]

The Pink Gold Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Emerald Dial with Sanskrit numbers is drop dead gorgeous. The Franck Muller Cobra watch is beautiful and cool. I wish Franck Muller also make a gold Cobra bracelet for the watch.

[@pistolgrippoet]

I had to check the date to confirm today wasn’t April 1st. Good stuff!

[@TheRiteHand]

I wasn’t really paying attention after a tiring day so when my ear caught balloon animals etc i started steeling myself for the prospect that I’m probably in the last stages of consciousness before a stroke fully hits. This was executed brilliantly, and put my sanity in question for an uncomfortably long moment.

[@MrDandenio]

6:49 I heard you laugh too ahah

[@nukie404]

You sure your researcher was only drinking? 😂

[@samadrid6321]

He was looking for the ever elusive ganga dial timepiece.

[@steven_vogt]

i was shaking with laughter so much I almost over-wound my mainspring! :) Thank goodness for someone who doesn't take horology so seriously sometimes. Kudos. BTW better fire that researcher! ;)

[@chi-towncalifornia5916]

Interesting coincidence De Grisogono came up, because the company just filed for bankruptcy today.

[@michaelheery6303]

Poor guy..

[@panaceiasuberes6464]

De Grisogono wasn't a brand... it was a laundry shop for Isabel dos Santos and her hubby.

[@aromaticsnail]

@Mark Michael actually girl...the daughter of the former president of Angola (about 40 year tenure). Although I think it was her husband who 'managed' that side of the business, him also being part of one of the wealthiest families in Africa....all from hard work for sure

[@morgan97475]

Still....interesting looking watch. Maybe they will be offered at cut-rate prices now.

[@oneal14attnet]

Too funny! I needed that respite from the seriousness of our hobby!! More of this. Your humor is spot on!

[@kanadsinha1375]

No one: Watchfinder: Balloon animals.

[@bermchasin]

how many people are going to parrot this as truth?

[@GuilhermeAtencio]

You had me fooled until the "balloon animals".

[@benfrancis4628]

Looks like the weed bag that was lost over Christmas reappeared... and gone by the end of this video 😂

[@samadrid6321]

I can just smell that sweet scent.

[@krokodyl1927]

What a wonderful delivery of wonderful stories. Thank you. 😊

[@jauharshahbaz]

The sarcasm used in this video is lit🔥

[@ricsonchua4264]

Finally a Franck Muller! Feature Crazy Hours next please!

[@PeO.]

AP must be loving you right Now! A homage to the Balloon animal artists!

[@jigunawa]

love the satirical twist on these watches. It really cracks me up, great job mate!

[@maverickbonato8164]

Had to look at the comments to confirm this was a joke. Thanks, I now feel like an idiot haha.

[@goldendawn7]

Me too brother

[@georgeoshea9961]

This is a hugely underrated video. As much as I love all Watchfinder videos, it’s always nice to occasionally mix it up with something a little more playful.

[@chinchinche]

One of the most entertaining videos you've put up guys. Bloody well done.

[@david-wo7kz]

I have actually never seen these before, good job

[@caseyjones4849]

David Stejskal u can buy them on eBay mate

[@rousseau327]

@@caseyjones4849 Doesn't mean he's seen them before

[@caseyjones4849]

ewt415 who said it does 🤨

[@rousseau327]

Casey Jones lol, seriously playing that semantics card? Lmfao

[@caseyjones4849]

ewt415 really assuming things ? Lmfao what are you a political joke

[@MilanNikolic96]

You know, the moment u said balloon animal guild I immediately went to check the date this video was posted

[@fastman119]

I think this was the first satirical watch review video I've ever seen...

[@klimaxsg]

Once again a very very good explanation and RESEARCH.

[@vijanankush]

The description on AP HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Colonial Hangover at its finest

[@GP-nn9to]

Quite gaudy examples indeed! Seeing them once is definitely enough, and the laugh...more please ;) As always, thank you !!

[@paulblakey4589]

Great video

[@terrywhitworth5350]

Great video, I loved it.

[@bubbab7792]

Nicely done! 👍🥃

[@MrConraA]

That was fantastic, you guys definitely need to throw a couple of these curve balls around more often. I couldn't stop laughing😂😂

[@stevefox8605]

Brilliant. The #1 watch channel 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ghostindamachine]

So much fun! :-D I hope your researcher also stumbled upon a Grönefeld?

[@shubham-pawar]

Finding out that an old, rare Audemars Piguet Royal Oak has numericals in form of Sanskrit language really amazed me.

[@mrdripling4192]

Well played, you made me Google "Malteser Easter egg" I hope you're happy 🤣🤣

[@deepseas4925]

This is an amazing piece of AP. Great!

[@mattwasilewicz9677]

This was good. Reminds me of the sarcastic apocalypse watch video

[@SergejPergej]

Was this supposed to air on April 1st, or I am missing something?

[@BennettIsAmazing]

This feels like an April the 1st...

[@mv848]

Humanity's greatest achievement: a watch with balloons etched into its dial.

[@SiddharthSingh-zd7ny]

I actually love that AP.

[@bikerdude1375]

The Gold Cobra was an absolute master piece. WOW!!

[@MichaelOZimmermannJCDECS]

I agree, no matter what was said about it...

[@jpaltman706]

This is truly the best watch finder video of of all

[@iteerrex8166]

Those beautiful hexagon head screws are like the 3 cogwheels in a triangular pattern that don't turn.

[@kirilllait6860]

But you still haven't seen my sponge Bob watch.

[@samadrid6321]

In platinum no less. Squidly set in diamonds I expect .

[@OmerBonfil]

Thank you for this video, it was a great ending to a very very long day.

[@ofar4452]

This was pure awesome. :) And yes I am shocked this was not played on April 1.

[@douglasladowski6342]

Now that is comedy!!! Thanks for the humor so dry it should be in the Sahara.

[@opensage01]

Well you sure got one thing right. Those were truly incredible stories hahaha. Thanks for the video and cheers.

[@boxingfan5742]

Brilliant!

[@rajlovinglife]

i was surprised to see sanskrit used in the dials of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak ..... the script is some inspiration from Indian rich cultural heritage......beautiful watch this ap is. for sure ....

[@Bruhngus420]

You could tell he almost giggled at the part of the green paint.

[@Natemire]

Lol so funny. That last piece is seriously pretty though. I've been really digging the reverso lately and it puts me in mind of that, just turned on its side lol gorgeous dial

[@jaka1373]

I would like to see some F. P. Journe watches featured on the channeI, btw I like your videos very much, keep up the good work! Regards from Slovenia

[@kesfitzgerald1084]

Beautiful! It has been a while since I laughed this hard.

[@chinchinche]

It's a good day when watchfinder releases a new video.

[@WatchGeek]

The last one is so cool!!!

[@Thezax147456]

Would love to see a video on the JLC Reverso!

[@nixie2462]

Took me a while to pickup he was trolling with balloon animals thing. 😂😂😂😂 But bravo! Made me laugh all the way!!

[@SwissWatchGang]

Love that AP!

[@JefferyUniverse]

That Gold Cobra is absolutely fantastic; to be worn only by a true wildman. I love it.

[@glasgowgoatse]

This had me laughing, good show

[@erythuria]

I'd love to see a comparison of the OP39 (white) and the Explorer 1, focusing on which is the better "GADA"!

[@PSIERANCZOGRALEWOterapiapsow]

Hi, could you give your opinion on Czapek watches?

[@ConkreteMan]

This was too fun!

[@kennethwilliams9924]

😂 Lol, you had me going there for a little while!! 😂

[@helmerbrobacke2471]

More of this please. Maybe not all the time but maybe 1 every 5 videos or so

[@arjdroid]

This shouldve waited for the 1st of April

[@alanwright3172]

had to check the calendar thought I'd fallen asleep and missed fife months!😂

[@lawatson123123]

Truly fascinating. I could really use some help hunting my grail AP Royal Oak reference 5402.5NIP3. anyone have any leads?

[@punavmirlekar]

I absolutely love the Sanskrit dial ❤️

[@ransuru]

Excellent departure into levity

[@nrs6956]

A proper civilized presentation. Thank you.

[@ryan_edmond]

putting the date in the bottom of the 6 marker on the cobra watch instead of covering the 6 with a circle is a big missed opportunity imo

[@anonimouse4277]

Nice review as usual, please review jacob & co astronimia, the godfather, Oil pump. thank you.

[@paceyombex]

I would love to meet your researchers.

[@glasgowgoatse]

My bits were thoroughly chuffed by this video

[@robertreynolds9228]

Only to have these watches in my collection.

[@ficko88]

I was very impressed untill I checked the comments, now I feel like an imbecile - didn't get a single joke. Beautiful watches though.

[@Hrethgir]

You had me in the first half, I'm not gonna lie!

[@killamist666]

Beautifully written bollox, I love it !

[@devynkumar1997]

you got me with the balloon animals

[@robinbanks4019]

Always great humor.

[@Milofchg]

Franck Muller = pre-Richard Mille case design minus the complications

[@jbbrabant]

I enjoyed this video. Unusual timepieces to say the least. I couldn’t be caught dead wearing two of the three offerings. The Royal Oak has really never been my cup of tea but at least it’s wrist worthy for a short time while I drink the mojito that you alluded to.

[@TheBRUCELM]

Perhaps a segment on genta?

[@tomthompson7400]

is it the start of April ,, lol , great video

[@cole1]

those moving shots are cool but LEMME SEE THE WHOLE WATCH

[@vodizzzle]

Can you do a vid on the franck muller crazy hours? maybe not as uncommon, but completely unique and intriguing !

[@blackhawk-editsandmore3654]

That sanskrit RO is quite cool tho

[@khalidalamin8069]

Great Mister...would you do a video about the Seiko Excelsior ...it may be a solar Chronograph...but it is a design Marvel

[@varunu4176]

Simplification: It's an AP Royal Oak with devanagari numerals.

[@GTgaming69]

VARUN U Whoosh

[@karanpandit0612]

Correcto! We see the numerals on a near daily basis. But it is a beautiful watch.

[@LordArioh]

there are few of them on chrono24. All over $90K tho))

[@mokshahereicome]

I can't help but think that saying they're balloon animals is sort of.... racist

[@woodruff4241]

It irks me that the date wheel has Arabic numerals

[@EhRandomGuy]

Bring the researcher back in the future!

[@leeharding8306]

I thought you might go down the Muller yoghurt road link for a minute 🙈

Regarding the Frank Muller; I can't help but think that if it was possible to move the circular date window at 6 o'clock further down and have the index above it, the date window could function as the circle in the 6

[@mokshahereicome]

I would love to have that Devanagari royal oak

[@jamielunn5869]

great content, audio seems different on the new videos? i think i like the old audio better

[@PurposePhilip]

You got jokes. I love it

[@adamrassi3516]

With all their faults, I remain a Franck Muller fan. If anyone watching this likes the cobra style case, check out Muller's Croco line. Same idea but with case resembling crocodile skin.Very cool and predates the Cobra line from FM. My favorite variant of both lines come with Franck Muller's "Crazy Hour" complication. The complication adds quite a bit of fun to the pieces.

[@STAHLBETON]

I really would like to see a review of the new Sinn 3006 Jagduhr. It is an exceptional watch in my opinion and Sinn is not covered enough on this channel.

[@ahmednayyer3466]

People need to see the mystery watch Tony Montana wears in Scarface. Omega La Magique, only 261 made.

[@WatchSociety]

Nice

[@sbeckett91]

Sanskrit Royal Oak is actually pretty rad
