Congratulations on the new watch. Wear it in good health

Thanks I sure am. 👌

Will do. The collection has changed a bit as I bout a tudor black bay pro. It was a bit of a grail watch for me.

@@the_watchgent thats an awesome watch...

Congratulations on the Rado Captain Cook they are truly fantastic looking watches. Wear it in good health.

Hi, I have a 7 1/2 inch wrist.

Thanks! Good video btw! Seems like you’re the only one with a video on this exact same watch/band?

It's one I picked up off Ebay.

It's crazy that they put the effort in to make the fake battery part.

Yes, sorry, I did forget this time, I work in construction, so I do get a bit grubby.

Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! ￡97.56 | PAGANI DESIGN PD-1692 Men Mechanical Wristwatches Luxury Sapphire Glass AR Coated Automatic Watches 20bar Waterproof Watch Men

They have some other sales on so they do go down in price to under £40

The Fakes are fantastic quality for what they are, I have since purchased a genuine moonswatch, and the quality of the genuine is far better, in my opinion. Their is a certain element of marketing the moon swatch, which probably makes the price what it is. Are they worth the money? No, definitely not, but they are truly fun watches and a smart move from Swatch/Omega.

Thanks!

They wear great and a lot smaller than 43mm, and the female end links help out a lot.

Christopher ward do make some fantastic watches and yes for the money they are probably better. In my opinion, TAG heuer are a luxury brand the the quartz is a entry level watch for them. Some of their Carrera and Monacos look fantastic.

I agree with your point. I've owned several Tag Heuer watches and I don't consider them luxury either. I have a Carrera Heuer 01 (43mm, non-skeleton) in my current rotation; it's an amazing timepiece, but not Omega SMPc (black lacquered dial) level of luxury.

Thanks for the kind comment, I have some more videos lined up for the next few weeks.

I'm not so sure about the probably be better part, but they are cheaper. Chinese watches are good for their price point.

@@the_watchgent with all due respect they are better than that. I would put San Martin up against anything Tissot produce. They also produce parts for many high end Swiss watches. I have many Swiss made watches, including Rolex, Tudor, and Chris Ward, and the finishing on a good Chinese watch is as good

@watchalot919 I couldn't compare to san martin as I have never handled one. I would like to try one soon, though.

@@the_watchgent watch my reviews on one. They are far better than they should be

That is a very fair point. The Duro is a fantastic watch I totally forgot about that.

Hi thanks for watching the video. You can get these TAG Heuers for some great prices on the 2nd hand market. I think this one was about £500

It's a great watch and definalty good value for the money in my opinion. Thanks for watching the video.

Hi thanks for the kind comment, yes the tag quartz watches are very underestimated for what they are, in my opinion.

It's impressive how good they are for the money the movment alone is about £25 to buy so great value. Did you go for the v1 or v2?

@@the_watchgent v1

Thanks, the Hamilton is a great watch. They are fantastic value for the money for a swiss made automatic chronograph.

Thanks, the Seiko Chronograph has been an amazing watch. It had about 6 batteries so far and at least 1 crystal.

Thanks alot, it's one of my favourites in the collection.

Thanks for your comment. I am getting more drawn into vintage watches, so I'm sure I will be picking some more up soon.

​@the_watchgent absolutely, I think every collection should have atleast one vintage, especially one from the same year of your birth or watches which have been passed down, those become priceless.

They are amazing watches for the money. What is your favourite colour? I did hear that as well about swapping out the movements.

I love them all.

​@@the_watchgent the nuance of that green colour is gourgeous. Green is the best colour for this watch, imo. Wear it in good health.

Thanks, I love the seamaster but I don't wear that as a daily wear. Certina is a brand that should be spoken about alot more. The Ds Action Diver is such a fantastic watch.

@@the_watchgent also have the same model seamaster, but don't wear it daily either. But certainly agree on the DS, very impressed with it. Love the ratchet style clasp, much more elegant than the rather crude one on my seiko marinemaster 300.

Roamer make some lovely watches, they are a very underrated brand in my opinion.

@@the_watchgent I have also Darwil, Omikron, Marvin and Aretta watches, this watches are been popular in ex SFR Yugoslavia.

That's a great idea. I do love the studio underdog watches.

Thanks, I do really like the TAG. Even though they are quartz, they are really good watches.

They are fantastic watches, what colour did you choose.

Green

Well spotted.

The discussion that has been going on for years about a plastic part in a Powermatic 80 is ridiculous and nonsensical....in dentistry we have been using plastic for decades with great success, because.doese have some advantages. and plastic is not the same as plastic. Certina has thought about using plastic in the escapement, but unfortunately ignored the stupidity of the customers

​@@andreasmartinez2216 you have low standards that's why for you this is ridiculous. I ALSO work in the health profession. Our profession use plastics because they're STERILE-R, they're only used ONCE. Like can you imagine reusing a syringe over and over again? Listen, the reason WHY we're buying watches is for the metal, NOT the plastics. Okay? Plastics are cheap, they're meant to be used once or a few times. Take a look at syringes for example. Your typical Terumo/BD syringe costs about $15 box for 100 pieces. A stainless steel syringe (used in MaxFax and I guess dental as well) costs about $15 EACH at the cheapest. If Certina sells this watch for $150 then that's fine. Swatch did it with their MoonSwatch and Blancpain-Swatch and they're successful enough and the watch performs as intended because as you said, plastics has its advantages and has proven degrees of success. Now imagine if a Terumo syringe, one (1) single 10ml plastic Terumo syringe will cost $15? See what I did there? I have no doubt the Powermatic80 will work with a plastic escapement, but sell it at plastics-price. This is what you call VALUE FOR MONEY. $150 for this Powermatic80-equipped Certina, done-deal. BUT SELL IT at $1,000 about the same price as an ETA2824-2 (or Sellita SW200-1) equipped watch?? I'd spit on that Certina.

@@andreasmartinez2216 it's not about a practical choice, there's nothing practical about an automatic watch anymore ... some would just prefer a metal watch without the cheaper plastic material, especially since we talk about a mechanism with gears old tech. on the other hand digital watches are more robust and more practical and are somewhat the new tech, different mechanism you could say high tech with high tech material like plastic. at least more from an artistic perspective.
