Invicta: “I am the most outrageous watch ever. Nobody will ever match my gaudiness.” Tauchmeister: “Hold my beer!”

[@BeerandWatches]

BB hahahahahaha, that made me laugh lol, too funny but SO true!!!! Have a great weekend my friend :) Best, MJ

[@raymondrichardson6061]

Makes an Invicta look like a shy introverted child. Fun video :)

[@BeerandWatches]

Hahahaha, that it does Raymond. Who would have thought their would ever be the day right ;) Best, MJ

[@BourbonDrinker]

I never tire of good card tricks.

[@BeerandWatches]

Haha, I may just bring a few more bits of magic to the channel to lighten it up a bit ;) Cheers Darren Best, MJ

[@captainturbo4164]

An interesting review Matt. If You don't wear it on Your wrist You can always use it as a wall clock😊 Have a Great weekend 👍👍

[@BeerandWatches]

Hahahaha, that made me laugh CT lol. Have a great weekend too. Oooo and don't miss today's video, it drops in about an hour. It's a good one ;) Best, MJ

[@gavowassy7655]

Cheers for another good video Matt!.. I think that watch suits your style.... Has some steam punk vibes going on.... Oh an loved the card tricks.... Tricks & ticks lol

[@BeerandWatches]

Hey Gavo, it's so funny you say "Ticks and Tricks", I did come up with that too, great minds think alike ;) Glad you enjoyed a little magic thrown in. I had fun doing this episode :) Have a great weekend my friend. Best, MJ

[@johnv6542]

Looks great love it great review matt

[@BeerandWatches]

Thanks so much John :) Glad you enjoyed it. Have a great weekend my friend. Best, MJ

[@seanofto]

Great review. You got yourself another subscriber.

[@mattys1467]

One mad watch ⌚ Thoroughly enjoyed the mix of watches, magic and beer. Absolutely unique 👌

[@BeerandWatches]

Thanks Matty, glad you enjoyed that :) I had fun with this episode. Have a great weekend my friend Best, MJ

[@j.a.h.vandelaak3477]

I’ve got this model (T0192) since a year of five, great watch. Runs well, recommended! Very similar to the model shown in the video, but with automatic movement.

[@BeerandWatches]

I would love to see this with an automatic movement. What movement is it, do you know? Have to look it up. Best, MJ

[@woonfaseng8737]

i bought a very similar version of the same brand about 5 or 6 years ago. it wears NOT really that big actually somehow despite i only got about 7inch wrist (maybe this version here is even abit larger???, yes my version is case 45mm, lug to lug about 53mm ) .... the only difference is it is automatic (using the Miyota 8xxx auto movement ) which cannot hack but can wind up to power up .and it has a manly metallic glass protector much inspired by some Russia/Military trench or militay watch from early 1900s or around ww1 era. the crown is exactly like yours and the only thing we need to get use to is how we wind ... it is on the opposite side from where we normally wind and the clock wise or anti clockwise how we wind remains the same , just do it the opposite side.

[@Globetrotter-1]

The lug strap size for the watch is of course 24mm not 23mm! 😂 I own several Tauchmeister U-boat style XXL watches, including the alarm model. I've used them worldwide under extreme conditions above and below water, and they have proven to be very strong, robust and reliable. They certainly match my Seiko diving watches and I can honestly say that Tauchmeister are superb value for money.

[@BeerandWatches]

Thanks so much for the post and the info on these watches :) I appreciate you taking the time as I know many of my subscribers will find that to be really useful info :) Best, MJ

[@leannefaithful2702]

this watch is so cool good review matt

[@BeerandWatches]

Thanks so much Leanne, glad you like it :) Have a great weekend. Best, MJ

[@jasonbostock408]

dam I may as well put a grandfather clock on my wrist but i like it the crown would dig into me by the looks of it great review

[@BeerandWatches]

Haha, too true Jason lol. They do make smaller watches. I think I will have to order one for the channel one of these days to see what they are all about. Have a great weekend man. Best, MJ

[@silverhippie3910]

Great card trick!! Thisl watch is clearly to big for me and most Human beings. I work nights so I love starting my day with some breakfast and a Beer and Watches video. 🍻⌚✌

[@BeerandWatches]

Glad I can be a start to your day my friend :) Thanks for the continued support. Best, MJ

[@surfitli]

Nice review. Definitely too big. My limit is 45mm-46mm, 55mm lugs to lug max. I do like the pale yellow dial. If you were to described it, the color would sound terrible, but it’s actually a very nice color. The red second hand looks very good as well. I have heard of this brand. They also have automatics.

[@BeerandWatches]

Hey Surfitli Too big for me too. I think if they shrank the whole thing down to a 44 it would be cool. They do have automatics and smaller cases too. May have to give them a relook for something a little more reasonable in size! Best, MJ

[@surfitli]

@@BeerandWatches I just looked at my comment, Sorry for the spelling, auto correct messed it up. I have fixed it.

[@BeerandWatches]

@@surfitli Didn't even notice. Happens to me all the time ;) Best, MJ

[@wayneturner1336]

I looked at that watch a year ago and just couldn’t do it. I’d end up putting a tea cup down on it. Or using it as a serving tray. Tough to say. But huge. Huge may be understated. Could serve a family of four off of it. The real reason I didn’t grab it was the fact that it said automatic but was quartz, that was a little confusing. I like quartz, don’t get me wrong, however I also like accuracy in manufacturing. Cool, glad to see it, dodged a bullet I think.

[@BeerandWatches]

Hahahaha, glad I could help Wayne ;) Don't forget to get back to me on that new filming date. Sent you an email. Have a great weekend my friend Best, MJ

[@bevboakes8982]

Hi Matt,well that’s certainly one monster of a watch. I think that you would have to put your arm in a sling to wear it. When I was down in the Falklands the Russian whaling ships that came into Stanley used to be captained by females, that watch would look tiny on their wrist.They where big girls but had a great sense of humour. I’m waffling so chill enjoy the rest of the week thanks for your review,catch up with you on Friday. Ps enjoying the magic nice surprise every now and again,keep it up.

[@BeerandWatches]

WOW, if this watch would look small on a Russian female sailors wrist I think I would be running the other way lol Glad you are enjoying the odd bit of magic sprinkled in now and again. Had a lot of fun doing this episode :) Take care my friend. Have a great weekend and see you Monday. Best, MJ

[@markedfortime]

Wow..are you sure you didn't buy the wall clock? That's huuuuge! I actually had a smaller watch from this brand. Small enough that my wide frequently borrowed it from me.

[@BeerandWatches]

Hahahaha, may be I did lol, that made me laugh. I do know they have smaller watches in their line so I may have to check some of those out and see what they are about. I dig the crown cover. Best, MJ

[@shaungreen8997]

That is huuuuuge! I love it! It's ridiculous but I'm happy with that! I'll buy that bad boy off you when you decide you don't like it 👌

[@BeerandWatches]

Hmmmmm, I may be into that Shaun. Not my cup of tea, just brought it in for review. Possibly a trade ;) We could chat more. Send me an email. Best, MJ

[@woonfaseng8737]

[@BeerandWatches]

Hey Woon, thanks for the message. Yes this version is indeed quite a bit bigger than yours. I find it easier to turn the watch upside down to wind the crown :) That way it is like winding a regular watch and setting. When you are done turn the right way up :) Thanks for the message and enjoy your week. Best, MJ

[@gavindalziel9022]

I might buy one and rent it out on Air B & B...

[@BeerandWatches]

Hahahahaha Gavin, now that made me laugh lol Best, MJ

[@timothythomas1626]

Really Cool. But I would look right wearing it. I could see Arnie Wearing one of these

[@BeerandWatches]

Hey Timothy, I think you might be right on that. Needs a heck of a BIG wrist to make it even remotely plausible as a wrist watch! Too big for my wrist. Have a great weekend my friend. Best, MJ

[@edwardgreenaway1808]

I have a friend who is 5'18"(how he puts it to make us short people "Feel better.") with wrists to match and it would look big.

[@BeerandWatches]

Yikes, that would be a BIG watch for your friend. BTW, hit me up when you are ready to re film that episode. Have a great weekend my friend. Best, MJ

[@simoneravenda5252]

Weeeeell.... lets say not my cup of tea, but i would see this watch on Schwarzneger wrist or in The Rocks wrist 🤣💪💪💪

[@BeerandWatches]

Haha totally. Not really my cup of tea either. Have a great weekend my friend. Best, MJ

[@Dave062YT]

It's no bigger than my G Shock Mudmaster but that horrible lump at 10 o'clock is a deal breaker for me .I suppose it's at 10 because you could do damage to yourself if it was at 4 ,

[@BeerandWatches]

Exactly why it's at 10 ;) MJ

[@dorudragoescu1311]

I actually like this watch, but 52 mm diameter with 60 mm lug to lug is a little bit too much 😒

[@BeerandWatches]

It's a BIG boy for sure! Actually just traded it with one of my subscribers :) Best, MJ

[@6ixrounds165]

great VID. i have returned

[@BeerandWatches]

Thank you :) Good to see you back! Best, MJ

[@pdmotors5027]

Not a bad looking watch, but wow, surely only for the big boys....

[@BeerandWatches]

I would like to see it all shrunk down to a 44, then they might have a winner ;) Have a great weekend PD Best, MJ

[@ovidiub7316]

The very first question that does come to my mind is "Is anybody really buying this"? I mean, is there a market for this?? Besides fully lumed dial, I cannot see any positives. And now, the negatives (oh, how I enjoy finding these for such a monstrous watch): - obviously, size. - date at 4 o'clock (ruins symmetry while trying to keep it, by align it with the crown) - hideous chimney-style crown - ridiculously small movent inside, surrounded by that cheap and huge plastic holder - boring hands set Obviously, this is not for me. Maybe the plumbers can use them as water meters... 🤫😂😂

[@BeerandWatches]

Hahahaha Ovidiu, that made me laugh lol. Great post :) I guess people must be buying them, I did hahaha. They do have more reasonably sized watches available. May have to try and bring one in and see if they are any better. Have a great weekend my friend. Best, MJ

[@seamusmuldoon9706]

Yup. Too big for me lol! I like the dial, tho!

[@BeerandWatches]

I totally agree Seamus, would be cool if it was all just a bit smaller. They do have smaller watches so may check those out too at some point. Have a great weekend my friend. Best, MJ

[@loganholmberg2295]

Nice! I'll have to keep an eye out. I'd check one out now but I just bought a new AbuGarcia fishing reel so I'm a tad strapped.....Can't wait to get vaccinated so I can hopefully try some fishing this year. Everything being closed last year sucked. Like I was going to catch covid in a park or a river side.😑😅

[@BeerandWatches]

OMG Logan, I totally know what you mean! We all need this Covid to be over so we can get back to normal. Glad you enjoyed the review. Have a great weekend my friend. Best, MJ

[@jodysilvia2]

Maybe it's really a flask. 😉

[@BeerandWatches]

Hahahaha Joe, never thought of that! I should take the movement out and drill a hole through the crown. You may be onto something ;) Best, MJ

[@Gbhmagic]

I case your submarine implodes the people on the surface will be able to see the time. Ha!

[@BeerandWatches]

Hahaha and use the watch as a life raft Paul ;) Best, MJ

[@jadger]

Is big because is 2xl

[@BeerandWatches]

It's akin HUGE!!!!

[@cliffhaylett8428]

Looks more like a novelty alarm clock than a wristwatch! Ugly.....🧐

[@BeerandWatches]

Hahahaha, that it does Cliff, could not believe it when I opened the package lol Have a great weekend my friend. Best, MJ

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

That IS a big boi! Fun to look at... on other people's wrists! :)

[@BeerandWatches]

You could look at this on other people's wrists from a MILE away ;) lol I think you will enjoy today's video Norm ;) Best, MJ

[@KillingTimeWithNorman]

@@BeerandWatches LOL totally! Oooo I'll watch for it! o/
