Watch review of the ROTARY CANTERBURY GS02424-21 - effortlessly charming!!

[@RotaryWatchesOfficial]

Hi TB! Thank you so much for the review! We loved it :D Also, thank you for bringing the case-back to our attention. The image displayed on the website was the old caseback (from when it was released), but since then we have now replaced the case back with our updated one, which is the one you have. This has now been flagged to our e-commerce team and will be resolved ASAP. Once again, thank you for the review and we hope you enjoy the watch :)! Best, Team Rotary

[@thetimebombardier]

Hi Rotary 😎👍 thank you so much for stopping by my little channel 😄😄 i'm sure the subscribers here will also appreciate your correction on the case back!! I hope to get some more of your watches on the channel soon as this one is proving popular 😎👍

[@DrS-of2ul]

I've had several of your 50s/60s/70s watches in both stainless steel and 9ct gold over the past couple of years, most with A. Schild movements, and all still going strong! Very nice to work on, too. :)

[@yxzus7022]

Hi Rotary. Is there any way to change the straps on this watch?

[@DanT288]

Ive asked my wife for this watch for Christmas. Its absolutely stunning nice video.

[@thetimebombardier]

Cheers Dan hope "santa" comes up with the goods 😅😎👍

[@mr.eswatchreviews]

[@thetimebombardier]

[@silvafox8371]

Effortlessly stylish - couldn't agree more

[@thetimebombardier]

Cheers foxy 😋😋👍👍

[@starrysun2935]

Very gorgeous watch

[@thetimebombardier]

thank you :)

[@Mr.JohnnyVLD]

I own one, it's a great watch. Perfect for dressy occasions! For me it's the shirt master. Also buyed a Rotary Cantebury for my wife at 37mm. 🎉

[@thetimebombardier]

@@Mr.JohnnyVLD cheers John yup it's classier than many more expensive watches 😎👍

[@Mr.JohnnyVLD]

@thetimebombardier i said Cantebury instead of Windsor. Same white dial, also milled dial but the numerals are better. Check them out. :)

[@thetimebombardier]

@@Mr.JohnnyVLD thanks dude will do,

[@gazzertrn]

Just found your channel , i love this watch been watching it for some time . Nice little watch .

[@thetimebombardier]

Hey Gazz thanks bud and welcome to the channel 😎👍 yup this one gettin a lot of attention, great price and design 👍😎

[@lerosh2226]

Beautiful watch ,with a lot of class,,just superb,,

[@thetimebombardier]

thanks Lerosh and welcome to the channel bud :)

[@Frank-om4fc]

Just bought a Moon-phase Rotary Windsor...Chinese so what, the dial is absolutely beautiful...my classic Casio F91W was made there too...and not in Japan...but for £150 ..new off an E Bay dealer with a 3 year guarantee it is amazing value in my opinion...

[@thetimebombardier]

Cheers Frank yup totally agree the dial is a stunner 😎👍

[@geoffreyhicks2779]

Having recently changed the battery in mine, I can say that the movement inside is a Japanese Miyota 1L40.

[@thetimebombardier]

Hey Geoffrey many thanks sir, have you alsp gotten around to changing the strap?

[@Mr.JohnnyVLD]

​@@thetimebombardierit is pretty easy. I swapped mine with a John Leatherworks lizard strap.

[@gardius8151]

Showing my age here, but, there was only one screen Sherlock, and the name of that gentleman was Basil Rathbone.

[@thetimebombardier]

hey Gardius - yes I remember him also!! the best deer stalker ever worn on TV - did you know Rathbone won the Military Cross in WW1? :D

[@gardius8151]

@@thetimebombardier Yes! He was also an Army fencing champion. Certified, "Hard Bastard" Don't make 'em like that anymore.

[@dvpemberton]

Ah, it's got to be Jeremy Brett for me. I really like the dimensions of this watch but having held one in store I was a little underwhelmed by the feel. I was expecting it to be heavier. That said the dial looks very nice for the price point. Better than some of the more expensive Swiss counterparts (Frederique Constant and Tudor to name a few). Be well everyone

[@thetimebombardier]

@@dvpemberton hey Dan yup agreed, some more steel to it would work for me also 💪😎

[@stavros_katsopr]

[late at the party, forgot to comment when the vid came out... sorry Duncan] Rotary, like Accurist too, a Brit brand that not many will recognise outside the "island". But both are trying to survive, in a weird way lately (ok, many years 😋), with a little help from - who other that - PRC. Nothing new here. Not sure how all this will turn out, so far though, not the best of results... As for this one, Breguet alike watch, i'll just say that i'm not a fan, especially with the Roman numerals (only the Cartier Tank can pull it out IMO...), but can definitely can see appeal it may have to you, and others of course. Thanks mate, hope all is well in your part of the world (and the family!), cheers.

[@thetimebombardier]

Hey Stav thanks bud and actually replying to you from athens airport 😅😅 just came over for work, if i'm back here soon I'll give you a shout so we can meet for a few ouzos 🤪🤪

[@stavros_katsopr]

@@thetimebombardier I need to take a plane or a ship to meet you mate! 😄 Crete is not just around the corner... 🤪 Maybe you drink an ouzo over there, i drink one here, we send eachother photos and we're both... happy! Right? 😂😂 PS Hope you didn't mess up with the traffic in Athens, heard lots of bad things go on there... or don't go at all!!!! 🤪🤣🤣

[@thetimebombardier]

@@stavros_katsopr haaha yeah i'll jump on a flight to you 😎👊 but traffic in athens is like most big cities and most small cities in the uk 🤣🤣

[@loudloveen]

I got the 1990's Rotary Aspen Sapphire Divers (blue leather strap) because I'm a lady, but I might get this one in the future for one of my brothers or nephews...

[@thetimebombardier]

Cheers Flutter and welcome to the channel 👍😎 i defo need to feature more watches for ladies but i think it might need a lady's perspective to provide more accurate feedback, clearly a gap in the youtube world 😋😋

[@obesetuna3164]

I expect that it probably has a Miyota movement. Rotary has always offered a decent honest product for what they are. For someone who just wants an attractive looking timepiece that they can wear everyday without fear of breaking or losing the thing, who could really ask for more?

[@thetimebombardier]

@@obesetuna3164 yup I'm looking to get some more rotary watches in as this one was so cool 👍😎

[@aashutosh9285]

Hello there!! Great review of a great watch!!!! I've been contemplating on buying this watch for sometime. The design language always lures me in. But the one thing that steers me away from this piece is the movement. My dad has had one rotary watch gifted to him by his company. It stopped working a couple of years later and any battery change didn't help either!! My main concern for this timepiece is the movement. Whether or not it is a reliable movement and can it be replaced if it stops working?? Or is it one of those designer watch quartz calibres??

[@thetimebombardier]

Hey Aash thanks bud and welcome to the channel 👍😎 a straight forward battery swap shouldn't affect the movement and they do come with a guarantee, can't recall if it's kne or two years ☺️☺️

[@aashutosh9285]

[@jonathanberwick4473]

Did you manage to change the strap, good review by the way

[@thetimebombardier]

Hi Jonathan many thanks and welcome to the channel sir 😎👍 think that it's gonna be a pair of scissors job... not ideal but need to see what's underneath 😬😅

[@jonathanberwick4473]

Looks like a mod video is on the way🤣

[@thetimebombardier]

@@jonathanberwick4473 lol yes now where are those scissors 😅

[@AymanTurkistani]

@@thetimebombardier Any update? Only thing keeping me from buying it is the shiny strap. If I can’t change it then I’ll have to look elsewhere for my next watch.

[@thetimebombardier]

@@AymanTurkistani hi Ayman sorry bud sold it on already with the original strap attached ✌️😜

[@yxzus7022]

Hey bro so it seems the back of your watch is a different to ones I’ve seen in other videos. Yours says “celebrating X years of watchmaking” and “made in PRC” whereas the other videos I’ve watched are exactly the same as the marketing photos

[@thetimebombardier]

Hi Yxzus thanks bud and welcome to the channel, the guys at rotary dropped a comment here which i've pinned above explaining that which was rather cool of them 😎👍👌

[@yxzus7022]

Ah silly me! Thanks for letting me know. Keep up the good work!

[@Inkognito652]

So is this fully swiss watch

[@thetimebombardier]

Not sure it's a 100% swiss 😎👍

[@Aco747lyte]

Unless "Swiss Made" is printed on the bottom of the dial, the chances are this (otherwise beautiful) watch is made in PRC - Peoples' Republic of China.

[@betafoofoo270]

it says as much in the video - made in PRC.

[@ArnavKathuriapersonal]

Love the watch but i kinda dont like the lugs

[@thetimebombardier]

hey Arnav thanks and welcome to the channel, yup they are very old skool lugs which don't help with strap changes but they adhere to the older watches of this style 😎😎

[@davidthom7127]

It's NOT in the style of Patek, it's in the style of Breguet

[@thetimebombardier]

Thanks David according to patek's own website they've also used the guiloche 😎👍

[@thetimebombardier]

Think it's calatrava ref 5120 has the clou de paris bezel 👍
