I really like your Tank Style Series. You brought many beautiful obscured pieces into spotlight. Not just Cartier and Reverso again and again. I'm a fan now.

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Thank you so much! 🍸🍸

[@WATCHingJames]

There are some great affordable watches that have this look. A very cool watch style to have in your collection.

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Totally! Thanks!

[@zelphx]

You are now one of my watch-gods! I am crazy for tanks... and I was STUNNED you mentioned LIP watches!.

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Thank you soo much! Yes I'm always on the hunt for different tank-style watches. 🍸🍸

[@chaca500]

So glad to see you've made another video on Tank style watches (and added some of my suggestions too). I'm now in love with a different shape of watch- equestrian. The Ralph Lauren stirrup line is my new eye candy- very classy!

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Thank you! Oh that shape was new to me. Looks like Bulova made one also. I may have to explore this shape. Thanks for mentioning it! 🍸🍸

[@MirrlyonTime]

I might have to try a tank watch, something that I just can’t see myself wearing, but would like to get something just to see if I can pull it off. Great video Norman!

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Dangerous move! You might like em :) Thanks!!

[@MirrlyonTime]

@@KillingTimeWithNorman any suggestions for a a decent budget one to get to see what I think without breaking bank? DM me :)

[@Beck-Stein]

Great options. So glad you didn’t do the usual recommendations of seiko or bulova tanks. Show you did your research.

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Thanks soo much! 🍸🍸

[@MichaelMitchell-vk9lk]

So informative and interesting. What a great series,thanks for your many hours of research to enlighten us.

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Thank you so much!! 🍸🍸

[@uhrologe2596]

Herbelin is a great mention. I actually forgot their existing. 07:55 Exactly. I own a Frederique Constant Classic Quarz (not rectangular), which has two hands. Btw: an amazing manufactured watch. Talking about FC. Also the Frederique Constant Classic Carreé Automatic is also a great rectangular watch. But currently I'm focused on Cartier Tank Must Solar, if it's about rectangular watches.

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Oh! thank you for that recommendation!

[@jacksugden8190]

I couldn’t find the SZanto on eBay, however Norman, there a few stunning not working NOS Dowels in stock from the 1940’s, tempted to buy one and have it restored.

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

@@jacksugden8190 Oh! I see a couple of Dowel curved tank watches that look amazing!

[@jacksugden8190]

@@KillingTimeWithNorman I’ve never had a tank watch, todays watch is a splendid, possibly hard to come by two handed - hand wound - chrome TIMEX Mercury from 1957, one year after I was born, Sunday in London at 07:28, 16C with a high of 27C, off for a splendid roast lamb dinner soon, and a visit to my favourite park in north London 👌.

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

@@jacksugden8190 They are amazing watches :) That sounds like a splendid evening! Enjoy!

[@the_9ent]

Great finds, Norman. The Michel Herbelin and Lip are right up my alley.

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Nice! Thanks!!

[@dantimber]

@@KillingTimeWithNorman Michel Herbelin has a mechanical Art Deco on their website with a handwind SW 216-1 movement. It says the case is 33 mm x 39 mm. It may be big/long if that doesn't include the lugs?

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

@@dantimber I'll check that out!

[@dantimber]

@@KillingTimeWithNorman If you haven't checked yet I should have mentioned it is a Tonneau shape. It's not as pronounced as most but it's definitely not rectangular either. However it does have a sub-second dial and NO date complication.

[@obesetuna3164]

Hi Norman. I have heard of Michel Herbelin. LIP were once a huge company. I saw today that Gucci have a rectangular men's watch in their current line up.

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Oh! Thanks for that - I'll check out that Gucci. 🍸🍸

[@boujtonboul]

I'm glad your video features the Lip Churchill. I did mention it in a comment on a previous episode of your rectangular dress watch series. T18 is genuinely the name of one of Lip's in-house mechanical movement, the one who was in the watch given to Winston Churchill by the French government after ww2 in a gold version . Today there's not only a quartz version around 200 euros, there is also an automatic version with a Japanese movement around 500euros. (You have to pronounce the last sound of Herbelin as the last sound of Ulysse Nardin, as the last sound of "vin" or "pain" (wine and bread in french))

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

I think that comment was the reason it was featured :) Oh! Thanks for that correction!

[@carlito1777]

Yes, but mechanical one seems too big compared to original Churchill. The t18 quartz is the best modele in my mind (to slide it through a shirt, what is the real purpose of the original watch).

[@rezathenightfly]

Hi Norman. Your late-night editions have become a staple of mine. Keep up the great work. By the way, the first timepiece on this video is properly pronounced as Bruno "Maali", with the G being silent. I've been a huge fan of their footwear for more years than I either care to count or admit to.

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Thank you! Glad you are enjoying! Thank you for that correction. Pronunciation is always fun hehe 🍸🍸

[@rezathenightfly]

@@KillingTimeWithNorman You are quite welcome. I too have been into horological pursuits for the past 35+ years. Consequently I have amassed a rather sizable collection. My dear wife is always egging me on to showcase the aforementioned collection on YT. However, part procrastination, coupled with my natural aversion to narrate on camera has prevented me from sharing with the world at large. Just maybe I’ll muster up the gumption to actually take the plunge and record it for posterity one of these days. 🤞

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

@@rezathenightfly There you go! nice 🍸🍸

[@_guillermo]

Can you please make a playlist on your channel for this ongoing series? Would love to revisit the older episodes!🍸🖤

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

That's a great idea! I'll have to do that for all my 'series' vids!

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

I'll create that and a few other playlists tonight!

[@OldLineWatches]

I desperate want to add a tank style to the collection; I just haven’t found one that really just hits the trifecta of love it, can find it, can afford it. I might just have to engage in some actual buffeting and save up for the Oris or a used Cartier.

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Yes! Either would be a brilliant choice!

[@CreepyRecordings]

im involve with the herbehin watch! omg im new to watches am a guy but love small dressy watches! tysm dude I can start small now lol I was worried the Cartier tank was too expensive for plain quartz watch ...

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Oh welcome to the hobby! Yep, small classy watches are amazing! 🍸🍸

[@danielshames8934]

Check out the Heritor Frederick. It's rectangular, automatic, has small seconds, and ... (wait for it) ... no date complication. I don't know much about the brand Heritor, but I liked the art deco vibe. Jomashop had it in stock, then it was out of stock, then they had it in stock again. I lucked out, pounced on it and got the silver dial version.

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Ohhhh! I'll have to check those out! Thank you!

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Oh yeah! Those are great looking! Looks like Joma currently has some gold ones. Huge discount in the gray market.

[@danielshames8934]

@@KillingTimeWithNorman Jomashop showed the list price for the silver dial version as $1400, which sounded absurd to me, given that at one time they discounted it for $98. I mean really? ... $1400 down to $98? When they do have it in stock their price is usually around $216. By the way, I really enjoyed your series on tank style watches. Keep it going!

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

@@danielshames8934 Yyeah. Good to know. Thank you!

[@pashag.1577]

nice!

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Thank you!

[@uhrologe2596]

05:31 I can't help my self. But the dial looks crooked in relation to the case.

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

It sure does - since it's that way in both pics - wonder if it's the curve of the crystal messing with how it looks. Hmm

[@carlito1777]

The t18/t24 quartz Churchill from lip is using a ronda movement and not myiota.

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Oh! Thank you for that clarification - not sure where I got the Miyota from.

[@carlito1777]

@@KillingTimeWithNorman some other lip got the myiota quartz, I guess it is the case of the cheaper lip Valentin (2 hands), lip panoramic (34mm vintage watch) and the lip dauphine (with dauphine hands); the ronda mvt is o At least on lip Churchill quartz (t13 (women), t18 (mixte), t24 (men, wider case), and the lip Himalaya quartz 35 and 40 mm.

[@MichaelMitchell-vk9lk]

Tanks for reviewing tanks and date windows are fugly.

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Yes they are :)

[@jamesblonde2271]

Bruno what.?🤣🤣🤣 Seriously thos were talking about two watches, the reversoand various Cartiers.....vintage Must De Cartier, (the entry level) in Quartz with an often Moser like lack of indicies is always about at less than a $1000. Much less if you hunt but on Chrono $600 to start. Tell you what, it'll keep its value too

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

Mars?

[@jamesblonde2271]

@@KillingTimeWithNorman 🤣 Sorry I was adding.....

[@Benny_M_1922]

I would love to have a Hamilton CLASSIC BOULTON Small seconds

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

The Boultons are really amazing watches!
