HOTTEST watches in Dubai

[@LSBContractingLLC]

Flashy and expensive watches. Thanks for sharing this experience!!

[@RaphaelSafr]

​I agree with you.A finance advisor can also provide you with objective and unbiased advice, especially when you are facing emotional or stressful situations.They can help you stay on track and avoid making an impulsive decisions that can harm your financial future.

[@rodsalvador3608]

Fun seeing FC amongst the heavyweights! Their perpetual calendar for around $7k or so is crazy

[@Sam_D]

Mb&F HM11 is one the best watches ever made. The design, the engineering, the execution, material, finish,... everything about that watch is top notch.

[@m.s.519]

apart from the practical use...

[@mikelewis2456]

Definitely in 2 years will visit Dubai Watch Week. Adrian did good job giving us a quick taste. There were some amazing watches at the show.👍

[@paulkukula6541]

Top stuff. I also love the Chopard. Love to see a full review. Out of reach for me. Thanks for bringing some watches that are left of field. Paul.

[@BB-gl7zt]

Good on you to highlight the Frederique Constant. I like what they're doing!

[@abdullaharmoozi4311]

Welcome Adrian to my city !! I’m a long time admirer of your channel , stay blessed 🙏

[@RobinHood-us7sg]

Great to see you hanging out with Tim Write and the German crew 🤙🏻

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

Let’s goooo!! Can’t have a better feeling than an Adrian Barker notification ❤

[@SteveFWatches]

Love the Remy Cools! Need a whole video on em

[@BarkandJack]

Yeah I want to catch up with him again. Seems like such humble guy and on a cool journey.

[@meinhair]

The Chopard "would look absolutely killer on a NATO strap" 😮😮

[@edmedm7993]

I know right? Completely unpopular opinion

[@frogsplorer]

Was the NATO strap quip deadpan humour?

[@MrShinobi797]

That Bentley in the Intro tho... it screams : " Here I am MFOs!! "

[@WatchClyde]

Dubai is on my bucket list amazing watches and cars a mans playground...great video!

[@krooner]

The analogy of Hublot Unico being G-Shock is on point. Internet BS and some Hublot issues apart, this watch is beautiful with this technical industrial design.

[@billstonestreet904]

I also think Hublot are bloody great , but must have in-house movement

[@luxelist]

It's an incredible collection we have down here! Loved your coverage of DWW.

[@ashleyg6479]

Adrian Sir …you are still the best you tube watch enthusiast by a country mile !! …always have respected and valued your opinions ..almost a guiding light

[@BarkandJack]

Thanks so much mate.

[@notenoughtime7274]

Great video, really enjoyed. Thanks for sharing. I went to W&W early this year and really enjoyed but this looks way more accessible in terms of getting up close and trying on watches from all brands.

[@TimWrite]

I like that comparison between the old Daytona and the NEW and improved Le Mans Daytona! Which is way better! 😎Cheers Adrian! 🥂

[@RobinHood-us7sg]

@Paulie8887but did you enjoy his daily livestream from DWW? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ser_pippy5794]

Surprised myself but I quite liked that Hublot. Frosted blue is a bit of fun.

[@tim462]

It would be very interesting to review some NOMOS watches :) would like to hear your thoughts about them 😊

[@BarkandJack]

Yeah I really want to spend time with Nomos.

[@tim462]

Great idea! :)

[@JimmieJohn]

Nomos are for homos

[@RobinHood-us7sg]

I think Nomos has already spent their budget on “influencers” *cough* Britt 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Paul_F_C]

I went the Rolex Daytona museum at Le Mans this year in France and it was pretty epic and I was amazed to see all those special Daytonas in one place , felt very humble to see them all

[@christopherbero3388]

AWM - total legend 🎙️

[@AndrewMorganWatches]

Thank you sir!

[@Timjacks01]

Adrian and Dubai. The two go together like Rolex & sports watches 😊👍🏻

[@djzrobzombie2813]

Or only and fans

[@Cheeseiest1]

.....it's sad and horribly misinformed that you think saying someone pairs well with Dubai is a compliment

[@AliReza-do5my]

My favorite part was Andrew Morgan standing as a Greek god

[@AndrewMorganWatches]

More feta cheese than Greek god 😅

[@AliReza-do5my]

@@AndrewMorganWatches Humbled and blessed :D

[@egutzait]

So Chopard made a Bel Canto for 15x the price?

[@BTLwatchcollector]

Hublot is the G-Shock for rich people... LOL. I'm stealing it. Great vid, as always!

[@nabila1327]

Besides the watches it was cool to catch a glimpse of you as well. Next time I should say hi. On the watches, I was stunned by the quality of Moser watches. Beautiful.

[@FunWithAJ]

Cool to see the other side watches (the unobtainium). Not interested in buying any of them but happy to see what brands are doing.

[@gavinrain7824]

Your favourite was a splendid choice and I must concur!

[@Hnair1982]

Was good to meet you at the zenith dinner event

[@AKAEalansari]

Arnold & Son had an amber dial watch in their booth. They showcase the patina as time passes 😍

[@koolpep]

It was nice to see you here Adrian! Please come again one day or hop on our podcast….

[@DCTag]

Andrew was looking for his beach ball.......

[@AndrewMorganWatches]

Have you seen my beach ball?

[@musicguy595]

Owning a watch with a chime has been such a life goal ever since the Hodinkee Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime video, so incredible. At least the Chopard is a ... little cheaper!

[@joeg9478]

Christopher Ward Bel Canto.

[@jamestamu83]

That MB&F watch is amazing! That's my vote for best watch you featured. How ingenious, complicated, and beautiful.

[@GordonMoat]

Know Chopard from their Mille Miglia line of watches. That one you showed here is quite surprising, and well made. Didn’t expect that.

[@arcadialive4265]

I love hublots, too bad buying them is like buying a flashy Italian sport car that doesn’t hold its value 😂

[@HoroHigh369]

That Chopard….🔥🔥🔥

[@clintonshiells3095]

This is great. I’d like a one hour version of this please!

[@seanlukecorroon]

It was great meeting you Adrian. Glad you enjoyed the show and hope you come back to Dubai again.

[@callum2474]

That Chopard makes me wonder why there’s not more and more hour repeaters available

[@mcstarling07]

Makes me realize how much of a "deal" the CW Bel Canto is in comparison (although I love the movements that Chopard uses in the LUC watches)

[@lamystorius]

Love the Frédérique Constants

[@esedes1702]

For me one of the watches that really stood out is the Czapek Antarctique Royal Onyx, have you seen it there Adrian?

[@wisamal-hakim5531]

Good to see you back doing your own stuff For a watch enthusiast from the UK would you recommend watches and wonders Geneva or Dubai watch week?

[@ferrisk9116]

can you please get me more info on that watch at 7:57, does it have a rusted dial?

[@fabulousfab_ffm]

Hi Adrian, I really dig your content and always appreciate your openness. Therefore, a direct question: Was the trip paid for you? Thanks and best

[@BarkandJack]

Thanks mate. Yeah the travel and hotel was paid for. DWW pays for all the journalist's travel. The same with Watches and Wonders.

[@AndrewMorganWatches]

@@BarkandJackwait, what?

[@bradcrafton4929]

The DeBethun was breathtaking

[@user-dp6ig5pi4g]

Hublot - g shock for rich people 😂 spot on

[@googleaccount718]

The 💯 on the new Daytona means that you have 100% chance of not getting it at your local AD.

[@bobmclennan1727]

I heard elsewhere that the Rolex exhibition featured a short film about the Daytona. Was there any indication that this will be released to the public any time soon?

[@BarkandJack]

Yeah it was actually a cool little film. I think it was a mash up of a few videos they have online. It was very much like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJCWoX-IqLaEhJI

[@statlerwaldorf7130]

Brilliant, many thanks Adrian :)

[@georgeii2629]

Good thoughts! Great watches! To the Chopard, fantastic watch, but nevertheless it still doesn't give me the "want to have" effect.

[@Not_Mark_Twain]

A few breaths of that money-soaked Dubai air and Mr. Tool Watch goes native....

[@BarkandJack]

Haha. It is contagious. I like to use watch fairs as opportunities to explore stuff I don't usually look at. If I want to look at an Omega or Tudor, I just send an email. These watches are harder to find, if not impossible.

[@jamesthompson3055]

What was the watch Andrew Morgan was wearing?

[@NickTsiotinos]

The Frederique Constant Platinum is easily my favourite.

[@kahsings]

Max and Wei nice one…

[@billcore6295]

Good video, I live in the middle east and been to Dubai a few times, fun place and great place for a watch geek 😊😊😊😊😊😊…. love the UN AD at Dubai Mall ❤. I love FC and own several

[@chadyabd]

I know it’s silly to wish this but that chopard, I wish it can come in Steel without the chiming. It would still be stunning but would also be accessible. Good job by Chopard though.

[@howdepressing2495]

That HM11 wouldve been more practical with another time zone function in it

[@analoguepete]

Very Rare Daytona? Hmmmm should send you the shots of mine before I sold it...definitely did not expect the watch world to take off the way that it did...one of my deepest regrets. A 6239 with the black bezel. Got a good price for it in 2001. Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda......Hey, it helped me buy a house!

[@BufanMuayThai]

When did you sell your Le Mans?

[@analoguepete]

I had the 6239 rare reverse panda, red markers on the outside dial ring, square blocks at the end like the new LeMans. Mine was not a "reissue" like the new LeMans version. Sold it 21 years ago...tried uploading a picture however, it won't let me??? @@BufanMuayThai

[@alexslist1930]

What’s the name of the watch at 03:33 with the pink sunburst dial?

[@BufanMuayThai]

H. Moser & cie. They make great watches with stunning dials.

[@MrAumbra]

Love the LUC. stunning.

[@z06cowboy72]

Shame Rolex missed a great opportunity to increase the case size of the Daytona to equal the new Submariner or titanium Yachtmaster, increasing the legibility. Still a pretty piece of jewelry.

[@wjwj741]

there's a mistake with the reference number at 1:54

[@ashleychambers7602]

The watch with the ambient temperature feature is absolutely hideous

[@garrettstupperware3754]

That MN&F is what people who wear Richard Mille think they're wearing . Poor things.

[@michaelriera6277]

Gaudy city, amazing time pieces, great overview of the event.

[@brownmcpherson5724]

What was Andrew wearing?

[@AndrewMorganWatches]

A unique piece Moser owned by a friend of mine!

[@brownmcpherson5724]

Thanks Andrew. Amazing piece.

[@metro2171]

Love the Daytona

[@tsma24]

Probably took inspiration from Zenith reverse panda

[@larry.l]

i could be wrong, but Adrian's mention about Hublot starting to grow on him and linking that to Hublot's inhouse movement...to be honest that rubbed me off the wrong way, since his biggest gripe about Hublot was the fact that they had been using ETA/SW movements for the price they are charging. Now that he's seen an inhouse movement Hublot he feels like its now worth exploring, especially when their inhouse movements arent exactly a value prop in any sense? Once again i could be VERY wrong about what he's mentioning but he just sounds like a massive movement snob getting his thoughts and opinions from the internet without critically thinking about the product for himself.

[@BarkandJack]

My biggest gripe about Hublot is the obscene pricing. They still aren't "worth it", and certainly aren't a value prop. But are G-Shocks actually "worth it"? £150 for a rubber made watch with old technology? They are loved because in a world where people spend £1,000s on watches, £150 is just a bit of fun. Doesn't matter if the rubber strap changes colour after a few months, or the the "glass" scratches after being sneezes on. It's just fun. If you spend £100,000s on watches, then a £20,000 watch is just fun. Same logic.

[@kahuhipajae4088]

What an experience, great job.

[@simon0044]

Watch washing now, stay classy Adrian👍

[@TheTomarild]

Planning a vid about Chrisotpher Ward?

[@andygregory2145]

5:49 imagine knocking this on door handle

[@USA79999]

Dubai is super safe like Singapore. Europe is a crime zone.

[@tfergieman]

Oh my, the LUC is a knock off of the Bel Canto...with of $2,000 of added white gold, & $60,000 of added nuance. Beautiful, but sheesh.

[@DCTag]

Yay!

[@boombringer4078]

Rather you than me ade, I can't stand dubai😂

[@frogsplorer]

G-Shocks for rich people 😂

[@david.9633]

Nice video

[@BufanMuayThai]

Dubai is a sad place in my opinion. That Chopard is absolutely stunning…. As a steep contrast, that Le Mans is Rolex giving up.

[@zer0875]

Putting a nato strap on the Choppard - seriously? 😮

[@masterwatch]

Ooh nice video..

[@Les_Grossman]

Always cool to have a "hands on"!

[@ElimRem]

7:00 hour repeater

[@Brownrebel]

Next SOTC? lol

[@Johnny641]

I cant help but think the luxury watch industry is a slow sinking ship. Exorbitant price increases catering to an ever shrinking demographic and to cover the costs of shows like this that the general public are just not interested in. The industry tells us that things have never been so good , yet every time I pass by an AD they are dead. This includes high traffic affluent areas like Dubai, the AD's are literally ghost shops.

[@philspencelayh5464]

What's the opposite of envy. I couldn't justify spending that kind of money on a watch, but didn't like any of them either so quite happy.

[@gregthomson7889]

Well these are fantasy watches because if you live in America you cant walk around most cities with one unless you want your arm cut off.

[@DanielBengtsson]

Who would you say are the typical visitor of this fair?

[@BarkandJack]

It's a complete mix of everything. I guess there's a large amount of high-end stuff because of the localised wealth, but honestly anything would go down well here.

[@robynsjp]

Problem about Dubai is that there's no history in Dubai. Nothing like in Guizeh, Abu Simbel, Persepolis, Baalbek, Petra... Just boring skyscrapers with no soul. Nice vid tho.

[@koolpep]

Dubai can sometimes come across as glitzy and shallow but it is also deep, friendly and warm and offers opportunities. You can find lovely people and places, there are some historical sights and natural beauty a lot of Dubai‘s beauty can be found - if you look for it. The watch collecting community celebrates the million dollar bangers as well as the latest G-Shock.

[@djzrobzombie2813]

Well than go to Baghdad or Kabul

[@Sam_D]

Problem! History?! What are you talking about? This is not a video about ancient civilizations, this is about Dubai watch week. All of a sudden everybody became an expert on geography and history of Middle East.

[@mr_watchaddict3146]

That's like going to Alice Springs and complaining about the surf.

[@ser_pippy5794]

But the fact you can touch watches like this and there be no fear of theft tells you what a well run country they are. Dubai is an incredible place.

[@josecarlosvillalomeli5690]

Why do you always have to sexualize watches? It’ weird every time you make strange noises and call them “sexy” 😂😂😂 Great channel, BTW

[@davidharris918]

What ever happened to reviews of watches that are actually attainable to 99% of the population?

[@Sam_D]

Where they present at Dubai watch week?! This video is about the top watches of Dubai watch week, what do you expect?! There are bunch of other channels out there that cover affordable watches, Adrian even review some of them from time to time, but this one is about something else.

[@BarkandJack]

Like 99.999999% of my other videos?

[@brownmcpherson5724]

Watches available to 99.9999% aren't interesting.

[@FightFramess]

Dubai may be friendly to the ultra - rich and for events like this that bring in tourism and cater to the wealthy, however it is a prison for the poor and it is ugly for the middle class as well. A person who says Omega isn't a luxury brand however would feel right at home.

[@Mishary127]

Stop acting like u lived there

[@djzrobzombie2813]

Nobody gives a flying fuxx

[@Sam_D]

Isn't every other part of the world the exact same way?! And what does your comment have to do with this great video that Adrian put together with such quality and effort?! If the things you said really matter to you, why don't you become a politician of some sort and try to change the world for the best, if that is even possible.

[@BarkandJack]

You think I’m ultra rich? 🤣

[@amankozha9778]

It is a change of environment;)!

[@mandomi550]

did you, like, hang out all day in the Rolex boutique the whole time, because Rolex is most-def the bestest in the world

[@Cheeseiest1]

I have such conflicted feelings about this one. Seems like such a fun watch show, and the kind of one I'd like to support. But Dubai is built on human rights abuses, and the whole reason they're pumping money into events like this, the UFC, etc is to buy positive press. Part of the reason I love watches is they're fun and functional fashion accessories that you can easily buy without supporting human rights abuses if you stick to the right brands, unlike so many other modern products. Really glad a show like this exists, but I really wish it was in another place and in another context

[@supaG-1.0]

Dude, every country has a poor human rights record, especially the US and UK.

[@Cheeseiest1]

@@supaG-1.0 absolutely, but the human rights abuses are ongoing in Dubai....that's a huge difference. Half of the US economy was based on slavery for over a century, and a lot of people think we still haven't done enough to address the ongoing repercussions of those issues. Would never try to whitewash that reality, but there are still thousands of functional slaves this very minute in Dubai. Dealing with and understanding human rights violations of the past and supporting those that are ongoing are categorically different in my mind.

[@Whatisallthisfor949]

Oh here we go, we have the white western brigade talking down any place in the world (outside Europe and US) who are progressing and showing they can do things. Please get off your BS high horse. No one who Iives and works in Dubai is forced to be there, in fact it’s quite hard to maintain your visa to stay in the country. Like it or not, places like Dubai are the future because they are over taking the crime infested Wester capitals of the world where service is atrocious, people unfriendly and hypocrisy is the name of the game. Stop bashing the global south, it’s only a matter of time till they’re on top and rightly so.
