I’ve owned this watch for a month and absolutely love it. Wears really well on my 7” wrist. The fact that so many people hate it makes it even better for me. That’s just my opinion.

I dig it! I've always been a fan of watches that are bold and different. I respect them for doing something they know is gonna get some negative reactions but they do it because they like it too.
@cascais2000Күн бұрын
I’m not really into funky watches, but I love this piece! I think the price is spot on for what you get: an unusual watch with great specs, and certainly something no one will have ever seen. If you’re fortunate enough to be able to make watches and you didn’t make a wild piece that’s tethered in design precedent but takes it out for a weekend bender, are you really even making watches? This is what real horologists should be doing - taking risks. Great to see!

I'm a Marc Frankel fan and have bought a fair number of watches from LIW. I also like TVG's channel. I bought a black dial Rangemaster Ii on the day it was released because its appearance and features appealed to me, and it's one of my most frequently worn pieces. BTW, I recently started watching and subscribed to your channel and I love that you cover a much wider range than those of many others--I really enjoy learning about brands and features that are new to me. Kudos to you!

it's great to see something a bit more on the extreme side when considering 9075 GMTs. There are multiple points of the design that are just different enough to say, did they go too far or is it right where it needed to be for their target audience? white this time

That dial is pretty cool. I’m a sucker for Arabic numerals. The more the better. I don’t personally like the case and the open slits. I also am not crazy about the sides of the case, those wings. I’m glad it’s got a Miyota 9075 in it. Those things are scary accurate right out of the factory. Overall, it’s a little too big for my taste but a pretty good value for the money. It’s got great specs. I love that Marc continues to do these collaborations. Great video, thanks!

It's certainly bold, and kind of chunky ugly, but it's also interesting too and strikes me as being more as a tool watch, maybe? Love the side on view, but I would honestly not pay such a steep asking price (especially when converted into my local currency), when there are so many much better looking designs available around this price point. Nevertheless, I really appreciate the great review.

As much as I like and admire both Mark and TGV I wish I could like this watch but unfortunately don't. Overall there's just too much non-subtle stuff going on in the case and dial design, which makes the watch appear less premium. High marks for originality though!

I am a bit disappointed… I was waiting for the third rangemaster - cuz I missed the first one, didn’t buy the second cuz they already teased the third one coming as a GMT… but this too crazy, too expensive for such a funky thing that I would not honestly wear that much… and I hate… HATE… the hour hand… makes it look cheap… pretty sad about it and lowkey hoping for a fourth one now…
