Watches & Wonders 2021 #1: The Opening Stars from Tudor, Rolex & More

[@watchreviews4k]

Interesting pieces. Regards.

[@DylanTrekking]

I’m a professional explorer and I have to say that a watch is as important as a knife when it comes to gear. We know that Rolex wants us to believe that they offer the perfect watches for adventure. For the release of the new explorer, they show us northern lights, archives footage of Norgay and Hilary, put an epic soundtrack just to remind us that fact. And, they reveal a watch with gold ! WITH GOLD ! I can say without a doubt that when you’re in the middle of a whiteout in Antarctica by -40, you don’t give a damn about the nice gold finish on your watch. That’s crazy hypocritical

[@chinaman1]

What would you recommend for exploring sir?

[@CH-yp5by]

Its watch clearly made to appeal tot he female market, a real man would never buy that.

[@DylanTrekking]

@@chinaman1 when it comes to Rolex, the explorer II is actually way more suited for adventure. But, if you don’t go in any polar regions where the temperatures can get really low and magnetism pretty high, a g-shock will definitely do the trick without ruining the bank. For polar regions there’s plenty of options out there. Solid Water resistance, accuracy and frost resistant will be the most important points on the list. Antimagnestism is a plus, but you can do without it.

[@mohnnadmercedes8246]

Are you sure as EXPLORER buying a 10k watch rather survival equipment 🙄🙄! Man 1200$ g shock will blow any rolex as durability and reliability

[@DylanTrekking]

@@mohnnadmercedes8246 Most explorer don’t buy their watches but are sponsored by a watch company. And you don’t buy a watch “rather” survival equipment. No explorer would go on an expedition naked with a luxury watch mate, don’t be silly. Read my previous answer, I talk about G-Shock. Now, I went on a polar exploration with a G-Shock, when the temperatures get really low, the watch won’t work anymore. When you’re spending time in extreme cold, you need a watch suited for it (with a watch oil lubricator that wont freeze for exemple). I love how everybody keep going at me with G-Shock and other 50 bucks watches but don’t know a thing about true extreme conditions and wear divers to time the cooking of their noodles.

Explorer steel with the hands and dial of the two tone would look fabulous. Like the smiths gilt prs-25

[@oneal14attnet]

Wonderful video. You are the only one taking a broader vote of these releases. Cartier has done it again. Amazing design and aesthetic

[@A.T.148-Scot-HK]

Excellent content as usual Armand. The Tudor North Flag was the first to have an exhibition case back (not including the Cellini line as the Cellini Prince dress watch had an exhibition case back).

[@bulleteurope]

OMG FINALY SOME THAT IS NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT ROLEX!! has the whole watch family gone r x made !!!! love the Cartier reviews

[@schmidmoritz]

The Northflag was the first watch with saphire caseback ;)

[@Sean-hs1si]

Waiting for this one. Nice one geeza

[@Timeless92]

silver is not getting black and smelly if you are having a normal and healthy perspiration. i wear silver all my life, my mother is gold smith and my silver never got black. its a quite soft material but 925 sterling silver is clean and stays clean unless you are not clean. its kinda good way to track if youre body is doing well with absorbing the shit you eat.

[@saymyname218]

I sure you're correct. In the 40 years that i've been interested in watches, i've never seen a Rolex or Tudor with a display caseback before.

[@PT-xx9jz]

You probably haven’t paid much attention... rolex prince and tudor north flag

[@saymyname218]

@@PT-xx9jz I stand corrected. But i think this must be a recent addition. Thanks for the reply.

[@727coolstuff]

Rolex explorer 36 will be a hot watch especially tailored to eastern market. Very clever move by Rolex to cater for all.

You forgot IWC.. they had some great new releases.. please make a video on them.. thanks

[@jwdepriest]

I’m hearing the additive materials in the silver Tudor should keep it from tarnishing. Time will tell...

[@karimdelakarim]

I might start looking for a tank, It's gotta be the best bang for..............

[@freddy1767]

So beautiful watch

[@steffydog]

Some real stunning pieces, love them all tbh 🤦🏻‍♂️👍

[@paulschwen805]

Tudor did a display case back once before. Their piece for only watch in 2019 was an blacked out BB, with an back window. But this should be the first one to the open market (otherwise feel free to correct me).

[@mrbud8524]

Great Video. I own afew Rolex Daytona watches the Tudor Chorno Panda 🐼 stole the Show by far both models look Awesome reminds of the Old Rolex Daytona watches l want those Tudor Panda Chorno now

[@DrRolexPhD]

Tudor is giving us a $90 leather strap AND a $30 fabric strap for our $12,000 purchase?! Thanks Tudor!! I don't understand the thinking behind throwing $12,000 at a Gold diver on a leather strap. I think it's a cheap cop-out from Tudor. Same with the silver taupe model. Either offer them on bracelets as well, or don't bother.

[@bryandanielson9947]

Love the Cartiers

[@konradlorenz6411]

Rolex did offer an exhibition case back at their Rolex Prince series, rectangular models.

[@perrycheung9394]

12k for a Tudor? I’ll just stick with my BB58 at a quarter of the price. The Tank is growing on me. Might be something to add to my collection.

[@Alex-zr4yl]

Understand the point of not having ceramic on the explorer II. However they are not purpose built watches anymore. There is also no point of having a two tone explorer I, strictly speaking ☺️. So ultimately I would have preferred a ceramic alternative

[@BWo-bb1yw]

I could buy my daughter the "Dora the explorer" one.

[@johnlacroix1639]

WOW very kool great info. AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot keep up the great work

[@artagain8977]

Just wish they would produce a BB with a plain black BB dial in SS.

[@SketeStevens]

I think that the tudors have open back to reduce the amount of precious metal needed to make the watch.

[@thegorn]

What happened to Basilworld?

[@mohnnadmercedes8246]

Iove how rolex disappointed the complaining KZbinrs and hoarding dealers 😆

The different size lugs on the Explorer II just looks bad, it upsets the balance of the watch.

[@paredair]

Knock it off with the ads man. I pay a KZbin fee to avoid that sort of thing

[@Jay-xr3sb]

Same recycled designs that you can't have. Exp 1 will satisfy some enthusiasts which is nice. Bought back the batman, did nothing for the 50th explorer 2 anniversary....yawn.

[@inglebybhoy3293]

Unobtainium is very resistant to corrosion too.

[@francisokwesa4854]

You are very knowledgeable but I come here to listen to you pronounce my favourite watch brand which I own JLC

[@francisokwesa4854]

Patek Philippe is the watch one does not own but hold in trust for the next generation who will be on the look out for an Apple or whatever gadget

[@robertfeast7691]

Great review. The two tone Explorer is a real stinker.🤣 12k for a gold Tudor! Yeah right. And a silver cased model🤮

[@jantonioguzman]

Do you think that the main goal of most of the new releases is the expansion of the women’s market?

[@MrCliteatswood]

Those French pronunciations 🤣

[@CH-yp5by]

Rolex and Tudor are not the same company they are seperate legal entities with their own constitution and board of directors, both companies just both happen to be owned by the Hans Wilsdorth Foundation.

[@So4ny.]

[@tychovanvugt5531]

That green Tudor is unbelievably ugly

[@jameshoward9700]

Stand easy... ATWG in the house. Sense at last! Cartier are actually making some interesting additions there. Nice. Rolex? Meh. They seem to have cynically opened up a size gulf between 41 and 36mm, which they'll no doubt fill in a couple of years, with the existing oversize 41s. BTW, that 'Jungle Foul' DJ36 is so sub-GS it's laughable. Too-Duh? £12K? Do me a favour. I guess you can no longer level 'poor man's Rolex' at them... Sterling silver? Ha ha ha. Bottom line - a Chew-da is twice the price of a comparable/better Longines, Oris, Sinn or Seiko. Looking forward to your reviews of the W&W content that justifies your insight and knowledge. JLC Reverso Quadriptique... we are not worthy.

[@krrr4595]

Why the strange accent when saying “Patek Phillipe” not really necessary?! 😂😂😂

[@frankpentangeli8104]

The two-tone Explorer is an abomination. Just stupid. In fact, ALL Rolex releases suck ass, except for the 36mm all-steel Explorer, which a lot of people wanted. But then why discontinue the 39mm version?!? Is Rolex somehow unable to make BOTH sizes? ABSURD! What an infuriating brand! The gold-case Black Bay 58 with green dial and bezel is FUGLY!!! And far too expensive too! Having said that, the sterling silver and taupe version is beautiful! But why have display case backs and NOT embellish the movements at all? That's just dumb.
