It was only a quick flash, but looked a lot like your pre-Rolex watch was a Tag Kirum F1 style, I had (and still have) a CL111A (which i always had in black out mode) Still my fave bracelet. Interesting episode and congrats on the selection of new pieces :)

I love how your grail is still the same one from when I asked on the Car guys earlier this year. Shame I missed on asking questions (didn’t see it on insta) Mine would be two, your grail / favourite Seiko ever. Also, vintage - your thoughts and what decade would be your favourite. We are both 1972 boys and I’m well and truly stuck in the 70s!

[@TheWatchGuysTV]

[@geno816]

I have a tag heuere carrera 160th year anniversary (silver/white dial) and I love it. I think they are trying to change things a little. But my #1 and #2 is Grand Seiko and Zenith. They just speak to me. I don't own a rolex yet though. Just "got on a list." whatever that means (AKA we will be in touch when we want to be in touch. Let's see your buying habits first) lol

Great Video again. I’ve a watch that I really don’t think you’ll like to be honest. It’s the Hublot Carbon 732.QX.1140.RX. I’ve got a dark Blue Alligator Hublot Strap. You can see people when they look and you can almost hear them thinking......what has he got on his wrist. I like that it winds people up......ha ha see what I did there. I know I still owe you some pics, I’ve just had the RS6 Detailed yesterday. It now lives in the Garage at home. I’ve got myself a little Audi S1 for day to day. So the big Girl plays out the odd weekend. Makes a change for a bit of Manual Shifting.......... Keep up the good work.

The TT Seadweller is pretty much a shop window watch, no way it commands a £2.5k premium. Iv seen it in the window of my AD in on multiple occasions. In my experience the only TT piece that is difficult to get is the CHNR.

[@TheWatchGuysTV]

Sure

[@Kickapooification]

Quite liked this. You are a man of decent taste in both watches and cars (😁) do you have concious and/or unconscious car-watch combination? If so, what are they? Cheers

[@tonysheabo]

Very enjoyable, annoyed I missed out on asking a question, mine would’ve been how much would you spend on a watch without being riddled with guilt for spending so much? I imagine buying the platinum Daytona was a guilty moment! By the way, very jealous of the green dial new addition!

[@TheWatchGuysTV]

It depends on the watch. I've felt guilt about a £1,200 watch, a £4.5k watch, and a £73k watch.

[@Stigs722]

[@aaronmj9455]

Enjoyed your video and seeing and hearing your thoughts. I'm thinking about buying a PP5205G but I am torn between the white gold and the rose gold version. Do you like them, if yes, do you prefer the 'R' or the 'G'. Furthermore on the topic of PP, do you think the 5711R or the 5980R may ever be replaced by a blue dial model?

[@TheWatchGuysTV]

I prefer white gold, but it's all down to personal preference. A blue dial for a gold Patek is possible, it's been done before. But I've heard nothing

[@watches6340]

Do you leave all your watches at home or at the bank? Some watch enthusiast esp in London are afraid to go out with certain exp watches, do you feel the same?

I don't get it. The Breitling Navitimer was a tool watch actually used by pilots, it served a purpose. There is no need for it today obviously (there is zero need for mechanical watches anyway) but they still make it for those who are into it. Why call it gaudy? Silly thing to say really....

[@shaunconnell24]

Additional question..... do you have an Apple iWatch? Or any other smart watch type.

[@TheWatchGuysTV]

No

[@Jpjc474]

Damian I take it you’re a preferred client at a lot of AD’s? Would you play the game buying saying 10 watches to get the one you really want? I don’t believe this is you because you genuinely do buy Bremont/Breitling/Tudor and you obviously don’t flip them just wondering if you would.

[@TheWatchGuysTV]

I 100% do not do that. I tend to find a dealer I get on with and stick with them. I have one Rolex AD, one Patek, one for Tudor and Omega. Etc. I then tell them the watches I want, sit back and wait, checking in every now and then.
