[@Kusanagi_aoi]

One thing he didn’t mention, the Royal Oak was designed by renowned watch designer Gerald Genta. Mr Genta was also responsible for many designs for the big brands today such as IWC, AP, Patek and so on. The Nautilus was designed by Genta for Patek. In fact the Royal Oak and Nautilus were designed almost around the same time.

There may be exceptions, of course, but the Speedmaster has a hand wound movement, not an automatic. That is one of many things I love about it, if you are going to have a mechanical watch you should have to wind it.

ok, the orange scheme is not for Nadal's "native Spain" lol. It's an homage to his success at the French Open, which is known for its red-organish clay courts. There are also lines on the watch that clearly represent the lines of a tennis court.

4:44 nice marketing tool :D Thats also why people like chemists, train drivers, teachers and so (who also need (stop)watches every day) are never mentioned in watch commercials. The truth is that its just cool to own such a watch because it subcontiously "makes you a pilot/racecar driver". Redbull and Monsteris using the same marketing tool just with extreme sports instead of pilots and racing. You can stop time with a 15€ casio.

[@louwaars]

[@adedoyinoluwo428]

😂😂😂 that's not even mechanically possible

[@MadSUPANOVA]

Personally like watches with metal bands, no leather, no resin etc.. the day of the month and the day of the week on the dial. Like contrast in watch, meaning not one color, there is 2 or 3 colors giving contrast. Shiny over flat steel muted colors. That's it. Have a rule also, no matter how rich I get don't want a watch over $1000.00 on my hand. Just don't believe in a used car worth of money around my neck or on my hands. :) But the most important is a watch that has the numbered day of the month on display, because as a working man I've come to realize I always lose track of what day it is. Basically the watch the host has on and Westbrook, but bigger dial preferred. And agree below no mention of Floyd Mayweather who is a watch addict. He probably has 365 watches for each day of the year. Flash madness. :)
