I don't like most watch reviews or reviewers on YT but I have to say that this is one of the best . Andrew knows his stuff unlike some other folk who wouldn't know the time of day.

[@stuartclubb4302]

Oh my, that piano needed tuning.

[@bennychen7433]

Ended up buying the Record watch

[@SinnerAndSaint]

Keep up the great work, guys! Your video production is getting higher and higher and as I wrote to the colleagues of TheWatchesTV before you're grown to one of the TOP watch channels out there! Similar to them you pack a lot of infos in nice short videos without chattering to much about something else compared to the more personal "one man show" channels. Thanks & all the best from Germany, Daniel

[@melchizedekpsj]

I didn't expect a piano introduction. Cool.

[@smhx1113]

I bought this watch because of your video~~

[@davidthom7127]

Super-Classy Watch.

[@Wvk5zc]

That piano intro though

[@Timeandtidewatches]

Wilson am I right 🎹 🔥

[@hogandori]

I hope that Longine will put more emphasis on the design as much as they care for the performance. Fantastic watches but... doesn't appeal to me at all. At a couple of watch forums, I saw numerous guys talking about the recent limited Seiko Presage (SPB069). A number of them heavily complained about the price - over $1,000 - of the watch due to its movement (6R15) but at the same time they could not help being drawn to its gorgeous appearance. Watch is already sold out in a few places including Hodinkee. Performance is important, no doubt! But I think it's the design that coaxes people to pull the trigger.

[@hitshot]

one of the designs for this watch is very nice i bought today. it is very classy and nice. but i dont know is the chronometer a big deal?

[@frankschaffer1159]

How would you compare the Record Collection and the Master Collection?

[@RaduGrigoriu]

Record collection is COSC-certified. Longines sees it as the spearhead collection of the brand.

[@kresimirpleic]

1:10 - 1:37 It's absolutely amazing how you made an attempt to explain what a COSC certificate means and yet you've managed to give a perfectly false explanation.

[@gilbertombp]

How thick are the Record cases (both the 38.5mm and the 40mm ones)?

[@psbose1]

You never delivered on your promise of reviewing the Tissot 1948 heritage chronograph. Managed to get my hands on it here in Brisvegas😉 last Sunday.

[@Timeandtidewatches]

Good choice! The review is coming, but so is Christmas.

[@algorithm007ify]

Can you guys review please Zenith or Glasshutte Original? You have totally ignored this brand for some reason.

[@m0rtigitempo]

Love the watch; intro sounds like Nickelback

[@richdabarber9290]

Are they anti magnetic?

[@piotrkaczmarczyk1792]

Sililcon hairspring :).

[@traquakuppler]

Looks nice

[@idokwatcher2062]

"It's bland. It's boring."... This is everything I would want in a watch for all occasions, white dial-blue hands (l2.820.4.11.6) is my favorite. It is not 44mm, it does not have 11 multi-functions, it does not have "pepsi" multi-color-rainbow bezel. All of those things are peacock feathers, desperate to attract attention to your self. But I'll never buy it, as an outsider I can't be sure there's some obscure watch makers with equally nice dress watches and on-par movements for third of the price, I do not want to spend extra 2000USD just for the brand name. That's a mug's game.

[@Pianoman1488]

Bro, tune that piano. Holy smokes.

[@dddilippp]

Maybe shorten the length of the bracelet?

[@benjamincarron9732]

I think it was probably a loaner watch for the review and not a personal watch. So he wasn't going to remove any links from it to shorten it since it's not actually his

[@giovani5586]

well would probably look better with a leather strap

[@jigrodrigues]

Giovani Altelino it really screams for a leather strap.

[@thegorn]

Shirt needs to be tighter. It's not quite sprayed on.

[@leesh771]

Every moment of this review is great except Andrew's shirts.

[@thegorn]

and that blue belt

[@ashtonkee5868]

Why only test them uncased? Rolex test and certify their watches after they are cased.

[@hitshot]

Because more money they have to pay

[@hitshot]

They must pay double

[@thegorn]

Rolex are ugly

[@luiskp7173]

The COSC process involves just the movement.

[@sublim3princ371]

Baume et Mercier Baumatic kills this watch at a similar price point. In House, 120hr PWR, and COSC. Still a nice piece.

[@mouhrissani8588]

I'm torn between the two Should I?

[@sublim3princ371]

@@mouhrissani8588 Which one do you prefer?

[@mouhrissani8588]

@@sublim3princ371 I like both brands and both watches but wondering if the 1k difference is worth it for the Baumatic (read somewhere that the in-house caliber is acctually made by valfleurier in richemont group, the equivalent of ETA making the cosc caliber exclusively for longines in swatch group) the B&M still have higher power reserve and the longines has blued hands by heat so I guess it's tight between the 2

[@mouhrissani8588]

There's also the tissot ballade at 1k cosc and 80h reserve & also has the anti magbetism silicon balance spring worth considering! I'm acctually thinking which one to pull the trigger on haha

[@ManfromJapan12]

Interesting that you say that. I chose a Longines over Baume recently .

[@sadaka201]

Nothing special with this watches. You can get a COSC certified watches from Tissot for a 3rd of the price or watches from BALL, some for about half of tat price....

[@omarrodriguez6104]

Jean-Marc Brechbühler Could you please point me to where I can find a Ball for those prices? Been looking for awhile, thank you.

[@omarrodriguez6104]

Jean-Marc Brechbühler thank you for the info. They have one up they looks interesting. Really appreciate your time.

[@leoniapaintballteam]

This post was made my Tissot Powermatic 80 Gang

[@omar10213245]

i got your ball, right here. . .

[@Chris-de2qc]

@@leoniapaintballteam is it cosc certified?

[@okumonux]

waterproof to 3 atm? what an outperformer this watcht is...

[@jaime4022]

Exactly! What is so complicated about giving a watch a 100m water resistance (or at least 50) in this day and age?

[@hitshot]

Yep because anyone with at least 70 iq would swim with a $3000 dollar watch under 50 meters

[@PK-mx7nf]

Meh

[@gbtriumph3216]

Nice video. "Price" was perfectly sufficient 20 years ago until some marketing idiot decided to add gobbledegook and make it sound more important by saying "point". Saying things in the simplest fashion is best. Adding gobbledegook only makes you sound like a huckster who is trying to sound cool.

[@omar10213245]

But I AM a huckster! And I DO sound cool!

[@yaaxarr8977]

Longines models are most of them so boring and expensive! Tissot Powermatic 80 Ballade COSC with Si Escapement a better option and less than $1000 usd.

[@bankbank]

Longines > Tissot

[@yusakufudo367]

Seiko is better

[@Chris-de2qc]

Maybe he should get some fashion tips on shirts instead
