The Cartier is literal perfection. All those watches made for the royal families from the Middle East are absolute quality. So nice to see. Also the Heat hat he is wearing is the best thing!

[@bdg5593]

Great video. WAAAYYY Better then Hodinke.

[@aarneuuk9601]

One of the cutest small collections I've seen They're all perfect

[@YongJoonPaek]

such a great interview. you can really feel his passion radiate. these videos that don't push an agenda on specific brands are getting so rare... I don't mind chrono24 trying to build trust for users of their platform (me included), I actually think they should be doing this, but please don't start pushing specific brands with the guise of education and entertainment. keep with finding these passionate collectors and experts for interviews!

[@Chrono24Official]

Thanks for your feedback! Are there certain brands that we talk about too much on this channel? Any brands you think should be getting more attention?

[@YongJoonPaek]

@Chrono24 I think you guys offer a good variety. Especially with the focus being on the person and their collection rather than an attempt to hype a certain brand in their collection ("look at how many early Journes this sophisticated person has, you should get one too!") I really look forward to every one of these interviews for this reason.

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

I love how Chrono 24 handles transactions but I also love the way you handle the interviews. (:

[@WatchClyde]

Loved this video...I enjoy when collectors have a significant amount of knowledge on their pieces.

[@arenbazerkanian9381]

I know that guy! Great collection and one of the most knowledgeable on the vintage subject in general. Great video, guys.

[@Chrono24Official]

Thanks, Aren!

[@SeanDunnevant]

great vid! lots of info but more importantly, lots of passion!

[@cedaljubicic9358]

This Rolex GMT Master is awesome!

[@chrisialiscano2576]

I love vintage watches so much, one day I will have my collection! Your video made me fall in love with them moooree!

[@michaelmoore9739]

Such an honest take on a real lover/astute collector of time pieces....

[@BumblebumBear]

Respect to this guy.

[@mattholton7111]

This guy is awesome as a somewhat beginner watch nerd to listen to. Great vid

[@craftandtailored]

Great interview thanks for featuring Mike!!

[@Chrono24Official]

Mike is the best!

[@GWatchesPakistan]

Much impressive insights on vintage watches.

[@fta8201]

Automatic tank...very nice, very nice

[@Nomafternoon]

Great interview. One thing I’d change is to put some bgm. Quiet ambiance music would elevate the emotions when watching interviews like this. At least do it for the transition scenes.

[@Staycrispymyfriends]

Great collection! Great Video!

[@Endureromex]

Beautiful watches. I had never considered a vintage watch until I watched this video

[@Chrono24Official]

That's what we like to hear!

[@calebnewton_]

Very cool! I'm glad he collects these so I can watch and don't have to jump into this world lol

[@luxuryfood3810]

Amazing perfect vintage collection!!!!

[@Narasappa-gj3dd]

Your service is very nice

[@TheAmbitiousPeasant]

Great episode

[@bjoernaltmann]

Yes the Tank Louis is the closest to the original and so on, but I would not dismiss its steel version. The Must has now the same size and shape as the Tank Louis. That is great for collectors who don’t want or can spend £12k 😊

[@ShapeyFiend]

I just missed out on buying that Boot Boyz hat he has. The watches are somewhat out of reach as well. This is a very interesting collection he has I love that 70's Cartier one.

[@simonmorris1626]

Really enjoyed that.

[@MatthewPaul.]

These pieces are amazing

[@cuyuganfamily5851]

Im so lucky to have that extremely rare Louis Cartier tank Jumbo . Its really beautiful in person❤️

[@antoniosoto2514]

Are those dots on the omega part of the design or is that just the ware and age of it? If not, I’m surprised you haven’t had that replaced or cleaned, but I love your collection

[@Chrono24Official]

"Tropical dials" like these mature over decades and decades. You can replace the dial anytime you like, but each tropical dial is unique, and you'll never be able to regain that original character after swapping out the dial. Many collectors also prefer to keep their watches as original as possible instead of having a mishmash of components from all different ages and eras.

[@johnburgess6572]

Thank you Thomas !

[@tomasinacovell4293]

I was sure I was going to hate him at first, but wound up loving him, I agree with his view of ROLEX too. But why was the seconds hand on the OMEGA so clean?

[@Nouveau0]

why did you think you would hate him at first 😂

[@tomasinacovell4293]

@@Nouveau0 Because he looks too "Bro"/"Bruh", too MAGA, something like that, that bill-cap style etc.

[@lordnass381]

@@tomasinacovell4293 you're a weirdo lmao.

[@gabigolz]

Great interview. Seiko/King Seiko/Grand Seiko is missing!!

[@monkeysoupman]

Amazing Gallet!

[@ryantan5963]

Those Cartier he has are so dreamy

[@VintageThings-qy5wm]

👍 video.. thankyou

[@GaugeReality]

Glad he stressed the unimportance of box and papers

[@timrhee7517]

Low-key was just staring at the 1675

[@capitalreckless5516]

Cool guy, i wanna buy a watch through him

[@ditmerk]

Where are the straps from? John what? Link?

[@Chrono24Official]

Jean Rousseau - Mike made a video on his TikTok account all about their bespoke strap making process if you'd like to learn more.

[@courtesyflush4333]

Cartier is by far my favorite fashion watch brand

[@mandomi550]

It mighta’ been cool to know what modern non Patek / VC watches he thinks are great.

[@HAIKALzcy]

I have been thinking to get my first vtg watches,and its bulova

[@Chrono24Official]

That's a great place to start. Just stay away from the Accutrons because they're tough to repair.

[@seank5665]

What is the name of the Cartier watch?

[@andrijayadi2186]

Karim benzema

[@Hamad-re9vr]

🇧🇭

[@truth_tone]

The thumbnail made me think it’s Eminem😂

[@runabath]

Eminem 😮

[@michaelsteel5177]

Great review. I will follow Mike once he switches off of TikTok to a safe American platform.

[@pandabear1576]

He posts everything on Tik Tok onto his Instagram as well

[@BartMan59]

Cartier is on GOD Tier level over all other watches... lol

[@NoName718.]

Thought it was Eminem

[@EthanRom]

I'm dumb I thought that was Eminem in the thumbnail for a second

[@eduardooka1655]

Eminem has such a cool collection

[@azeezibnnaim]

Bahrain bah-rain bro 😂

[@vvanced99]

Being a new York hipster in 2023 is like having a tramp stamp. Totally embarrassing

[@WatchReporter]

he's tramp-stamped for life

[@brahmsianer5899]

He speaks very highly of himself.

[@salimabdallah9608]

Don't know why I saw Eminem on the thumbnail

[@hoangngo1927]

Next to the Cartiers, the Rolex looks like a toy tbh

[@nazarghhh]

Eminem

[@DefendersofGod619]

Dude clean ur watch

[@BudFox575]

This guy is just a wannabe watch dealer and is in reality just a street guy with tattoos. He's a wannabe Adam Menta 😮😮😮😂😂😂😂

[@BudFox575]

Half the stuff this guy said is just him making shit up... 😮😢😂😂😂😂

[@anonymousonlineuser6543]

Omega example is not a tropical dial, it is a ruined dial. There are watches with water damage like this that come through ebay auctions all the time.
