I love the presentation of your video today. These seem to well thought out options. I will probably get the Milifortic and it’s automatic D12.

[@mydudewatch]

@@Simon.Alistair Hello Simon, as always thanks for be a part of this thing. I will likely do a full review of that watch soon.

[@onemorewatchplease]

Amazing video! The comparisons were super helpful, and I appreciate the insight into design and durability. Definitely adding one of these to my collection soon!

[@StaceyTwos]

Lets' start the day out with fruit loops and MDW. The Milifortic is a great affordable option. I will definitely grab this one today right after breakfast. I enjoy field watches.

[@mydudewatch]

@@StaceyTwos nothing wrong with Fruit Loops….. I grew up with those things. lol. Yes, I will likely do a full review on this watch soon. Jason

Jason nice collection

@@dazzlerjohnwatchman8215 thank you Brother…. Hope all is well down under.

[@MirrlyonTime]

Jason fantastic video and great options for a classic field watch! Well done sir, I am super impressed with what Baltany are doing so if I were to go for one of these the Baltany would be my choice. Thanks for the great video

[@mydudewatch]

@@MirrlyonTime I really enjoy your channel and appreciate the nice words. I will continue to send people your way and honestly love how your videos flow so smoothly. It’s a fun watch. Wishing you the best… hope to chat again soon. Jason

@ for sure Jason thanks m8!

Hello ! You forgot a San Martin with a Rhonda 6004 quartz movement ! That movement has been in Tag Heuer watches so it is very good ! Price is 100-130 dollars !

[@mydudewatch]

@@michaelkaasbundgaard7798 Hello Michael, I tried to find that one as well and shows unavailable, or at least it did a couple of days ago. I’ll look again because I really would like to get one in for a full review. I have the Milifortic on the way. Thanks so much for watching…. I appreciate that. Jason

[@holgermuller3597]

After lunch there is only place for a coffee --- so let`s sstart the show 🎉

[@mydudewatch]

@@holgermuller3597 thanks for watching…. Do you have a favorite from these 4?

[@holgermuller3597]

@@mydudewatch The Vaer of course. I have an 8,5 inch wrist, so 40 mm is the minimum

[@jondv5278]

nice video, do you know the relevance about the crows foot (the 3 pronged up arrow)? with regards to military watches?

[@mydudewatch]

@@jondv5278 Hello there… this is what I could find out: The crow's foot, also known as the broad arrow or pheon, is a symbol that appears on military watches to indicate that they are owned by the military.

[@mydudewatch]

@@jondv5278 The crow's foot is a heraldic symbol that depicts an arrowhead. It is a simple symbol made up of three lines that meet at a single point and point downward. The crow's foot was used to mark objects purchased with money from the monarch, or to indicate government property. The crow's foot is one of the most well-recognized markings in history. The exact origin of the crow's foot is unknown, but there are several theories. The crow's foot was used on the remains of the ship “Mary Rose” in 1545.

I love the military watchers so I enjoyed this video. I. Think thorn does one also. I have a tandorio automatic that looks nice but lacks the small seconds hand. Could you please do a world war one and Vietnam war watches video? Thanks, Neil from Adelaide

[@mydudewatch]

That’s a great idea my friend. I’ll put it in the rotation. I appreciate the suggestion. Jason

[@gregtolley3455]

I'm waiting for the next batch of Smiths prs 59.

[@mydudewatch]

Yes…. Greg I have a couple of friends that swear by those watches…. You have experience with Smith?

[@vincesacca5025]

I can barely see you on my monitor. Nice watches.

[@tonydilucente2342]

I like the Milifortic for the mechanical movement. I'd pass on any quartz version of a Dirty Dozen homage.

[@mydudewatch]

@@tonydilucente2342 Agree… I’ve ordered the Milifortic for review.

[@Daniel_V23]

Haha you lost the tie so we're making progress 😂 Just gotta rock the button down without the jacket and you'll be golden.

[@mydudewatch]

Haha… where you watching from?

[@Daniel_V23]

@ Michigan.

[@gerardoarellano7698]

Glad you covered the Vario. I’ve had my eye on that one for a while.

[@mydudewatch]

Yes… Vario is incredible. That’s a good one to consider for sure. I appreciate you watching. We have some good things on the way. I can’t wait to share with you. Jason
