The History of Vertex Watches and The Dirty Dozen Story

[@geraldined4796]

Looking forward to the 36mm. Hope it comes soon! Thanks.

Man, if I had the money; I would buy the entire collection. It was wonderful to hear his story and how he's put so much of himself and his family's history in each if the watches. Each watch arrives with so much history even before you put it on. That's special.

[@stebesplace]

I had a chance to meet Don last year, and their watches are absolutely incredible. You can't really find a better field watch for the money with the history!

[@anthonystevens8683]

I think Don has done a wonderful job bringing back Vertex watches. That Don is related to the person who created the brand shows a lineage and that the... I'll call it restarting of production with new watches that hark back to the originals is a great story. I love the enthusiasm to carry on but have references to earlier models, those double dots on the clasp of the new bracelet, this is great thinking. A great interview Richard and thanks for sharing. The mention of a certain 36MM watch will be on my radar.

[@alexandrovich513]

Great to hear the history from Vertex, very informative content. The idea of a 36mm dirty dozen Vertex re-issue has to be a winner, looking forward to seeing a review.

Thank you for such a gripping conversation. You can`t fake integrity. Recently sold most of my 12 wqtch collection and have been on the lookout for something special. As a Brit living in Japan with a short military background Vertex checks all the boxes. I look forward to telling people here about my future watch purchase. I wish you both continued success.

Love the look of Vertex's offerings. Great interview and will buy one in the future. Been riding the recent British wave of watchmaking with a smile on my face.

great hearing from Don first hand ! great episode

[@denisalg1171]

I would love to see a video comparing the Timor Heritage and the Vertex M100A. The Vertex looks amazing but the Timor has the same movement and is a third of the price.

[@DC-wz9gp]

People are paying for the heritage and brand not the movement

[@simonstaley1866]

Great video. I’m fortunate enough to own an original M100(M) part of the original batch. A truly underrated watch - which I guess over time is starting to gain presence amongst true collectors. It’s been worn on military duties and casual occasions. I’ll be making a trip to the Vertex boutique very soon!

[@Supercruze]

Great interview and a great story. Thanks for sharing.

[@jamesisastud]

This interview made my day, thank you both.❤

[@MJamilHoque]

I'm not fussed about the story behind the brand but love the aesthetic of the dial, block lume material cut Arabic numeral and, 6'o'clock second hand feature. I may have this as my second in my collection.

[@andrewfishkin6559]

Wow, this was a treat. I’ve had my M100 for a little over two years and despite many watches coming and going since then, it remains my favorite. Second favorite? That would be my M60C AquaLion No Date. These are just incredible pieces with tiny details that delight every time you look at or handle one. I can’t wait to see what comes next.

[@Audittr2108]

An M100 he’s going to be my next watch!

[@choond]

Great interview.

[@grahambell9831]

A wonderful, insightful video, thank you for sharing 👏

[@richardsims3847]

Interesting stuff.The Swiss sold to both sides and British officer POWs could have a Rolex delivered and pay via their London banks.I was surprised that the CWC NOS pilots Chronograph that I wore for twenty years is now vintage .It seems to have been an accidental good investment having gone up 1000% in theory.

[@hellocookie-09]

Great interview - many thanks

[@technologist1412]

The minute these go back in stock I’m getting one! Great video guys!

[@richoux212]

Amazing quality, despite its heritage and authenticity it feels unique and a rare privilege…great watch the m100a.

[@mummymonkey]

Very interesting and engaging video. Very nice watches. Thanks.

[@AwardSession]

I enjoyed this story and hope the company does well. Watched whilst wearing my late father's Record 'Dirty Dozen' watch L12811.

[@JohnnyJohnJon83]

Wish I had the money to by it this watch . It’s nice !

[@larkhallman]

0 seconds ago As a former Royal Marine that always wore a Rolex Submariner I bought the M100 when it was first released . Had it serviced recently by my German watch guy in the City . He was very impressed of the high quality parts of this watch and wanted to know more about it . Wear it everyday…. Purity of purpose

[@TonioToutBeau]

The only bit I would like to know is what is the accuracy of the movement. I have seen different version including one with +30 seconds per day. If anyone out there has timed the M100 please share your results as it may sway me one way or the other to purchase this watch.

[@dee-ker5867]

i am so ready for the 36mm, let's goooooo!

[@donschloth5785]

36mm M100! Please let snknow when that’s available!

[@Fanzyify]

Vertex is conducting a massive marketing campaign all over watch-KZbin 😅

[@vincentschneuwly9783]

I am swiss but after seeing that interview I want a Vertex so bad, as someone else said in the comments you cannot fake integrity

[@WC_Watch_Collector_Club]

❤

[@rockinginafreeworld3256]

Still not a in house movement that’s why the m60 is slimmer than a BB . Only using a sellita movement .

[@thegorn]

"The dirty dozen" sounds like a good night at the strip club

[@markotoole7937]

I like these new Vertex watches, but they have got their pricing all wrong, totally overpriced.

[@donjuan150]

The unique, moulded Super-LumiNova dial is not a cheap feature.....price is on par.

[@hammalamiri12]

The diver is not overpriced at all by any metric considering what you get. The m100 yes is overpriced by 15 - 20% considering the price of the diver and non cosc however that’s got a big piece of heritage with it
