Rolex GMT-Master II "Meteorite / Pepsi," Omega Speedmaster Orbis & Luxury Watches Reviewed

[@edblair5253]

I follow watches and the market. I haven't owned a watch for 32 years. Watching Tim is a break from life and all its problems. One can escape reality for a few minutes and be mesmerized by Tim's passion and knowledge.

[@edwardsauve4836]

The two Blancpain watches are gorgeous , perfect size and case shape .

[@the1916companywatchreviews]

Agreed. I agonized about which one to feature on the show before opting to present both of them. Best, Tim

[@edwardsauve4836]

@@the1916companywatchreviews Good decision .

Flyback Chrono for me

[@plostyle786]

Blumpkins are always nice

[@richardweir3342]

Absolutely agree, the colours really bounce out on the dial

[@BenTramer]

Tim: the Blancpain A Toute Vitesse were for Swiss Fine Timing (Chicago, IL). The 3rd model was the Split Second Flyback, not the perpetual. Thank you for all the awesome content and fan interaction!

[@oldenglish91]

Love love love that patek 5320G. Wish they would make a style like that in an annual calendar so it may actually be attainable price wise. Favorite on the show today.

[@alfonsopartida901]

Maybe a future classic, like say Tim. The vanilla crean dial WOW amazing.

[@saymyname218]

Thank God for Sinn, "I'm always swimming around 5000 metres underwater. All my problems are now over!"

[@TheWatcher60401]

Ha! Love the budget ad there in the beginning.

[@yoroshikune08]

Wow, we can hear the ticking of the last piece AP. Love those 2 Blancpain. Thanks Tim as always for a wonderful weekend vid. Take care and be safe.

[@the1916companywatchreviews]

Every tourbillon I've ever encountered has been a remarkably "vocal" watch. By nature, there's far more force exerted by their escapements, and it it's obvious. The Panerai caliber P.2005 series holds all the records for volume. Best, Tim

[@coolboy5428]

Yeah be safe, safe from a hoax that he lacks the balls to expose.

[@Talon173]

Really like that Orbis Speedmaster. A rare watch, haven’t seen another video of it around

[@primecreator]

Great lineup Tim, felt sorry for the Bremont following up behind some heavy hitters. Gotta love that Sinn, super cool.

[@kcgunner100]

Tim I love the weekend watches videos! Nothing like quick, to the point review for a lot of watches. I love it! Keep em coming.

[@VmanStudioz]

Tim - taking time Saturday morning to climax twice on that AP Minute-repeater! That chime is definitely etched in my mind forever!

[@the1916companywatchreviews]

Pretty impressive by 1990s standards, right? Most repeaters from that period are quite slow and quiet. Best, Tim

[@VmanStudioz]

What a fantastic lineup this morning. What?! No Moser?! But hey - Those Blancpain’s stole the show! I might have to call you. I like that Lange more.

[@the1916companywatchreviews]

BP is doing some amazing things!

[@the1916companywatchreviews]

It's a shame that Blancpain no longer offers this style of watch in this size. My only objection to the 90s and early 2000s Lemans is that many of them featured solid casebacks over movements that deserved better. These two chronographs fixed that problem AND added remarkably limited editions (e.g., 20 or 25 pieces) to sweeten the deal. Best, Tim

[@MrRoyck10]

I was one of those who questioned AP as part of the holly trinity, this AP tourbillon minute repeater is a testament of pure artistic craftsmanship.

[@melbguy1]

It is magnificent, though personally I put Lange in the Trinity, with AP just outside

[@melbguy1]

Wow, talk about leaving the best for last. That diamond-encrusted AP is stunning!!

[@alfonsopartida901]

This week the heavy weight of a brand is clearly shown, PP 5740 Nautilus Perpetual vs BP Perpetual Chrono, the price difference is brutal for a similar quality and with similar complications. My vote this weekend for the BP Lem Flyback Chrono ! Thanks Tim PS. To many FPJs ?

[@the1916companywatchreviews]

As far as value goes, I would agree with you on the BP. Thanks for watching! - Ari

[@russell996]

Great selection Tim

[@cardinalj]

Fun fact on the Sinn UX the case is ceritfied to 12000 meters, it is the movement that limits the depth rating to 5000 meters. Also the caseback has a diaphragm that expands as the oil warms and shrinks when it cools. I have a UX and I love it....very unique.

[@the1916companywatchreviews]

Thanks for watching!

[@the1916companywatchreviews]

All true. This might be the most underrated and innovative dive watch ever built. It's tough, accurate, engineered unlike anything else, fairly affordable, and even quite thin! I'm thinking of buying this for a friend. Best, Tim

[@randyallen2771]

@@the1916companywatchreviews Something you might want to check is service. As I recall, these oil filled Sinns must be returned to the mother ship in Frankfurt for service (read: battery change), RGM can't service them.

[@JB-xt3ly]

Fantastic line up Tim! Some truly great pieces in the show.

[@the1916companywatchreviews]

Thanks, Joseph! I loved the Sinn UX best. Did you have a favorite? Best, Tim

[@JB-xt3ly]

@@the1916companywatchreviews yup! The Pour Le Merite is my favorite of the bunch. That Sinn is pretty fricken cool as well and same with both the Blancpain pieces.

[@seamasterist]

Surprised about your comments regarding the date change. The cal 3330 is based on the ETA 7750- 7753 I believe. The date adjustment is typical of that calibre. Check out the Longines Spirit Chronograph with the Longines L688.4 calibre (the .4 designation on this calibre denotes its COSC certification as opposed to the standard 688 and 688.2. The .4 variant also has a silicon balance spring as does the Omega Cal 3330). Quite common.

[@cd127100]

That sinn is too cool!

3:07 I just picked up the white gold Pepsi with the midnight blue dial. I much prefer it to the meteorite, but the meteorite is beautiful. I just like how the midnight blue ties the color scheme together. Although striking, the meteorite just doesn't flow...seems out of place on this watch.

[@gregmiller6161]

Why do you withhold the journe prices?

[@the1916companywatchreviews]

@@S.PeresRC There's no bidding; we want those watches to be priced at market. The market on these is changing by the week, so we don't post a static price. Best, Tim

[@the1916companywatchreviews]

They're not offered publicly on our website, so the pricing is a private matter between collectors and the handful of people here who specialize in those watches. I'm not authorized to discuss pricing on watches not listed on the site. Because their market changes frequently, we prefer to just quote a price rather than update dozens of watch listings each week. Best, Tim

[@roybatty6368]

Journe enthusiasts have no worry of price and will gladly pay whatever WatchBox asks for any of these exquisite references.

[@DavidDatura]

Overall a great selection of watches today...with the exception of the DeWitt, that’s one of the ugliest watches I think I’ve ever seen! Who in their right mind would of purchased that thing new for a quarter of a million? 🤯 A tasteless thing, with just so many styling faux pas. It looks like it was designed by a 10 year old! The diamond encrusted AP at the end looks demure by comparison!

[@the1916companywatchreviews]

I have no idea, but I doubt anyone ever has paid retail for one of these. Given that the technically similar Journe Tourbillon Souverain retailed for less than half of this thing, I can't rationalize the original MSRP. Best, Tim
