Erebus Origin - Day on the Wristopia
can I guess the name of that high end you tuber please please please? hahaha
with sweeping hands never really notice! But it IS a huuuuuge bugbear of mine if Quartz watches don't hit their mark! My CWC SBS 2008 is bang on!!!
Worth noting that apparently, the reason why the crown was removed was to make it closer to the actual swiss rail clock. Same reason why it has the second hand movement. 👍
Makes sense but it does look weird on a watch. Better than the first one but I feel its obviously a watch so a normal looking crown would work best IMO. They also need to do an outdoor/waterproof clock if they want to double down on the railway thing Haha.
5:07 ah, that was me I think. Back in your "Casio Duro Killer" video. I'm glad that you finally got your hands on one!
Hey! Thanks!! I nearly bought one from Amazon US at a premium, but think it had sold when I tried to pay. Invicta EU then emailed to say it was back in stock! Really pleased with it. Had it on the other day ; )
Wow… that was deep…
Thanks! My SBGX341 has been off my wrist for a while because I just couldn't get the bracelet dialed in. It was either too loose or too tight with a half link in or out. With your measurements, I found that, in the too tight configuration, if I took out one full link and added two half links instead, it gave me that few extra millimeters to dial it in perfectly.
Until very recently, Rolex made an OP with the 369 face and coronet at twelve exactly as per your dream Explorer so not going to happen.
The links will wear against each other as you break in the bracelet. The squeak will go away.
Hello mate, you well? Have uk you given up the ghost of UA-cam now? Hope you have had a nice summer anyway.
Female endlinks will fit 100% of the watch buying public. Male endlinks only increase the lug to lug dimension thus a more limited public.
Am interested in getting their erebus ascent thanks for this vid!
Hi, I have one on the way so will hopefully have good news.
Dude! Most important and absolutely essential thing here is: Are the bezels uni - or bi directional. It's completely going over your head!
Haha, I will have to watch again to see if I missed that out or you are being sarcastic ; ) The Batman is a stunning 24 click Bi Directional, and the SM was (its been returned) a 120 click uni directional I think. The SM Batgirl is a decent 24 click Bi though ; )
@@wristopia4101 Allright, thanks (y)
20mm clasp is a deal breaker for me. I need that 18mm taper. Also the clasp is friction fit with no push buttons is just bad. Strapcode for the win
Will check them out ; ) Yes its a bit of a pig of a clasp but was just nice to have a deployant when I got it.
Once again, Omega by a mile. Looking way better and top notch quality.
Love you love Omega 😍 6 of one and half a dozen of the other on these two IMO. My personal experience of Quality is very much a win for Rolex. Absolutely zero issues, but every Omega seems to have one. It does not put me off though.
Was it a 68g difference between the Vanuatu SS vs Ti?
Sorry did not weigh and no longer have both (long story).
In short, both Rolex and Tudor perceives customized Rolex and Tudors to be counterfeit. Simple as.
Damn Straight ✊
I love the simplicity yet elegant aspect of this watch . It goes with anything .
Notice how you have a stanped clasp? Fake. Even my $300 watches have a milled clasp. Rolex doesnt make garbage. That's a cheap bracelet therfore its fake.
Feels like a milled clasp to me. I do have a Pressed clasp on my vintage SD though, so think I know the difference. How many Rolex/High End High Street watches have you handled?
Why would a fake use a pressed clasp? 😂 Get a grip Bruh!
So an in invicta and a fake rolex lol
Of course not lol A fake would have to say 'Rolex' on the dial.
@@wristopia4101 it does lol
@@Bladeworkssystems ??? Mine doesn't
@@Bladeworkssystems Sorry, I understand now. You are saying my Rolex/s are fake.
@@wristopia4101 yes clearly.
About the squeaks. Just picked up my 40mm exp, had same squeaks. Soak it in warm water (i used a plastic jar) with a drop of soap (hand soap or body soap, shampoo), leave it for 2 mins and gently move it around in the water and rinse and dry. Squeaks gone.
Great review. I own and love the exact Rolex DEEPSEA. But I tried on the Omega the other day and it felt amazing. The Omega felt like it hid the size better and seemed really wearable...especially on the rubber strap. I would really like to add the ULTRA DEEP and have both.
Thanks for your kind words ; ) Two absolute stunners! The James Cameron would be sooo good, but equally I love that the black dial is keeping step with the Sub and SD. The Blue/Black UD scratches that itch though perhaps? I find the DS way more comfortable, but there is not enough in it to make that a deciding factor. Have you thought about discount on the UD if you do get one? 15% was possible as soon as they hit the AD's in the UK a year ago, so I would say 20% min now.
Unpopular opinion warning! *KLAXON!* - - i think the explorer is a bit dull! Its a perfect example of aggressive marketing - wasn't even the first watch to summit Everest - that was the Smiths! Had it said "Accurist" on the dial no one would pay it any attention! Glad people love it and dont mean to trash it - just good that we all like and appreciate different styles! Love the channel btw! (picked up my Explorer 2 polar dial just 3 weeks ago after being on the list 4 bloody years!! Had given up all hope! lol!)
Haha, thanks for your input and glad you like the channel! I fully appreciated the Klaxon warning ; ) It is a bit dull visually apart from Arabic Numerals but that's its point I feel. Probably the point of most steel Rolex. Design and build Gold Medal though IMO. The whole Everest/Moon/Mariana Trench thing means little to me apart from a good tale to tell/banter, and 'The Moon' is way way more aggressively marketed anyway. Deep Dive watches (or Invicta's) take care of the Non Dull wrist presence I guess, and The Ultra Deep is probably the 'Top Trump' winning card in that arena 😈 Congrats on the EXII. Bloody long wait, but bloody nice watch ; )
Rolex steel pieces are just the ultimate tool watches to me, nothing special (apart from price!!) above that. Annual calendar is great but I could not suffer a DJ with weird turning bezel for it. Deep-Sea and DSC are great for their depth rating but DSC is a bit big and pricey lol.
I have the 36mm version, great under the radar Rolex. Definitely gets about 2x the wrist time as my 2 tone DJ.
I own one it’s a great watch, typical modern Rolex built like a tank.
It's just so tactile. I laugh when influencer UA-camrs score it the same as a Christopher Ward!
Yep I bought a watch and they signed the warranty card wrong year,then they sent me another one correct dates but warranty card of another watch different serial number took 4 months to eventually sought it out.
I have tried to buy several things from them now and they really are a mess IMO. Glad you got it sorted. They obviously make a habit of sending all sorts of errors out to customers and really do need avoiding IMO. Every shop makes mistakes (which can actually lead to an even better experience/relationship), but they seem institutionally incompetent to me.
I have a 6.5" wrist....so the sizing IS perfect! ;-)
Hi, The 40? Really good to hear someone getting perfect sizing 😈
Some time ago, I bought 21mm vintage looking brown leather straps, but I've never put them on because the bracelet is so comfortable!
Had my name down for the 40mm but i kept trying on the 36mm & couldnt get past the feeling that the explorer should be 36mm so i changed my order & now waiting for the 36mm to come in, guess its the traditionalist in me & why i went for a Sub rather than a Sub Date which i got the call for in Jan & yes, it can so easily be a 1 & done watch!
I would pick the size based on my wrist (if it were being worn ; ) but appreciate your viewpoint with respect ✊ I simply could not suffer another cyclops so 1000% the Sub👌 well done on your acquisitions. Sub will be my end game I think, although technicallymanaged to get on a list for a Panda 🤗
@@wristopia4101Which Panda have you gone for? I'm also on the list, I've put my name down for a black Panda along with the 36mm Explorer & I think I know which will come first 😂😂
I got the explorer 40 2 weeks ago. I absolutely love it. Perfect dimensions.
Sooooo good to hear. Well done on your acquisition 😈
Love the explorer 1, think it's so simple that it just works on every level 😎😜
There's only one Explorer lol 😉
@@wristopia4101 here here 🤣 that 2 is a bit odd looking 👯♂️
Great review. I love the simplicity of the Explorer and the classic nature of the watch. However being a big guy with 20cm wrists I have tried it on a few times and it has always seemed a bit small on me. Such a shame as I would love to buy one but I think I would buy it but then stop wearing it so much once the honeymoon period is over….. no denying it’s a brilliant watch though. Hopefully they will make 44mm Explorer in the future that will actually be 42mm lol
Definitely do not do it Gavin! Get a 36mm safe queen at most haha. So many watches are too small for me but stay strong and do not lower yourself to bitch about it like the smaller wristed guys normally do ; ) I would absolutely love a quartz Grand Seiko or a manual wind watch from any brand, but always either too small, horrible strap, or an Automatic!!!
Jubilee is and always has been associated with all types of Rolex and is definitely not feminine - I think you have been subconsciously brainwashed by the frequently used nickname of 'Batgirl' which was simply used to differentiate between the bracelet types available on the BLNR. The BLRO has identical options of bracelet, and never attracted a feminine nickname. Personally I own GMT Master 2 models with jubilee and oyster bracelets and I can attest that the jubilee is superior on the model for comfort and wearability.
Hey, my most esteemed commenter 🤩 Has made my day! My first DJ was on a jubilee, and I like it on the SM (in a guilty pleasure type way), but in my defence....... How many Lady Dates would you say are sold on an Oyster?
Thanks for the video. I'm with Gavin. I like a watch that the bracelet fits well and tapers a couple mm to a nice clasp. I have a couple that have 22 mm endlink to an 18 mm bracelet (20 mm clasp) these wear well. I usually avoid butterfly clasps unless they include half links. I am in heaven on a jubilee that has a good taper. Most of my Seiko divers are on a jubilee bracelet (Thanks to Strapcode) I have all 5 of my Seiko SKX's on a Strapcode Jubilee. It tapers from 22mm to 18mm, and I have the ratcheting MM300 (20mm) clasp on them. Best fit ever!!! Cheers!!!
succes on your youtube journey!
Yeah the current Aquis has a sad bracelet, and the first Aquis had the bloated case. The middle version is the winner.
The Aquis Pro 4000 is on my radar 😈
Hello mate, lug width isnt something i care about, being a bracelet guy i much prefer a good taper than what is the lug width. To me the Deepsea with its 21mm lug width and tapering of 5mm is aesthetically a much nicer watch than my Seamaster 300m which is a 20mm lug width but with no taper whatsoever. I have a Breitling 48mm Super Avenger which is nuts and has nearly 30mm lug width but a good taper that looks better to my eyes than the Seamaster. I guess its aĺl about perspective.....
Hey Buddy ; ) Completely agree on taper (and clasp width!) That was one of my points though. Taper is much easier to do properly with a bigger lug width to start from. Link dimensions and orientations (on an oyster style mainly) is another design feature (really going down a rabbit hole now lol!) that is effected by lug width. The interesting thing about lug width is that its nothing to do with wrist size. It benefits everyone ; )
Todays video perhaps lol.
No taper at all is evil lol. People say a lot of watches do not have a taper that actually do, but the difference between minimal taper and paperless is night and day to me. Some taper way to much though! Some Oris look like they were angle grinded!! The whole 'perfect' lug width to clasp via taper thing seems to elude most watches IMO.
@@wristopia4101 yeah I hear you. The rubber band I have for my Seamaster looks better than the bracelet as it has some taper, but again taper can look great on a watch or awful - it can be a bit of a hit and miss. The drastic taper on my Deepsea looks amazing to my eyes but the same taper on the submariner looks too much, but is the same amount…. Same taper just different sized watches. It’s nuts how the slightest difference can make a big deal in watch world. Us geeks eh? lol
@@gavinBsussex It's another thing to geek out on haha. Sorry if I already asked, but did you get the Deployant rubber for your Omega? Omega do a lot of them for various models (including all the Speedmasters), but its all a bit hush hush.
Longer than a motion picture! Jeez
Only Porno's are that short 🤭
I get your point though and would love to improve on that aspect. I do this for free and hopefully have improved a bit and/or helped a few guys who are looking to purchase anything I show (actually in my own hands) and talk about.
Please send me a link to a more informative review of this product if you know of one.
Thanks for the video. Lug width is not something I care about. Just not a concideration. I am a bracelet guy. Most watches I buy are on a bracelet. Cheers from Atlantic Canada!!!
Thanks for commenting. I am a bracelet guy too and feel its more important for us. Great if it does not affect you though ; )
Yup hit me up with 22 mils pls 😅
Have 22mm on an older Grand Seiko and its probably a little too much, but it's also a big case for a dressy watch. I will wear it today and scrutinise. 22mm+ on dive watches is great. Some would definitely be better with 23mm though!
@@wristopia4101 yup citizen have never been afraid of 24 mils but many other brands shy away for some reason LOL
BB41 Smiley is perfectly sized, check it out.
Nice watch definitely ; ) I was tempted by one of the new ones and the introduction of the 39 was a curve ball size wise. I kind of wanted a three link bracelet like the Smiley though, so bought my wife the 31mm two tone instead. Interestingly, all four sizes have a different lug width, which I think is great!
@@wristopia4101 Yep the old bracelet is better. I have two 22mm LW on my radar now, the new Davosa Ternos 68H and the even newer Venezianico Aureo. I actually subbed to your channel because you said you like a bigger lug width in your Vanuatu video, I'm the same, won't touch anything smaller than 21.
@@InsaneFame Yay, thanks. Really great to get that feedback ; ) I will check those two out now. I noticed I lost a Sub after this video! There is a weird dislike of better watch design for some reason haha. 20mm is great for smaller cases, but just looks odd on a lot of medium to larger ones these days IMO. Micro brands just look plain cheap with 20mm. It stands out like a sore thumb when the watch they are faking is 21mm. I have kind of given up on 20mm now. I have an Erebus Assent on its way but that will be the last time I compromise unless I get a pre owned Henry Archer (long story).
Omega looks better!…
Nice collection of moonies there dude 😎👍👍😎
Cheers 👨🚀
Anything that just costs money is cheap!
Love the reply, but discount is cheaper, and there is also the thrill of the chase ; )
what is the white dial watch?
Great question ; ) Its a Mondaine Stop 2 Go, with non standard 3 link bracelet (it's normally 5 link).
@@wristopia4101 cheers!
Once you wash the watch with baby shampoo & soft bristle tooth brush its gone... every single one of my Rolexes purchased new all the same. Totally normal.
Thanks, Yep, it's gone now. Hopefully a new squeak soon though 😈
It's stunning and arguably Rolex's finest sports watch. It's nearer 38mm, while the 36mm is nearer 35mm and looks like a kids watch it's so dainty. I was fortunate enough to visit an AD in Macau of all places who had the Explorer 1 40mm in stock. No silly games or "due to unprecedented demand"... I bought it there and then. If you want to avoid the stupid AD games, go to small, but high volume tourist cities and visit ADs there. A portion of their stock will be allocated to walk ins, because of tourism. Also avoid ADs that are part of a large group like Watches of Switzerland if you want to avoid the famous games they play.
Yes, I was disappointed it is not 40mm but I did not notice in the AD and I love it anyway. I have had very good results fro WoS Group (Goldsmiths), but also from a small UK independent. I went to Hawaii last year but did not bother asking or visit both AD's. I was a bit worried about buying abroad and UK situation is working out fine for me, but good advice.
@@wristopia4101 being sub 40mm means it fits more wrists. The 36mm is so diminutive I was actually shocked when I saw it. It looks a lot bigger photographed or in a UA-cam video. Fair point about buying abroad, but ultimately if it's an AD and they're on the Rolex website, Rolex would have a legal obligation to rectify any issues if you couldn't easily visit the AD again. That's the whole point of an authorised dealer network.
Bit of an update to try to justify broadcasting my feelings on CW Sellors/Jura. Tried to buy a Sinn wall clock advertised on their site at £290, but they took ages to tell me it was actually about £390 and that they would not honour the web price. Then I ordered (paid for) a ladies Invicta. It (and every one in that range) had pictures of two different dials on the website, something I have never seen before........Ever. They got in touch to say it was not actually available. I requested a refund last Saturday (8 days ago) which I am currently still waiting for.
Ahh mate, dont disappear. It would be a shame as your content is always entertaining. I can understand if your life is busy that churning out videos all the time is a lot of commitment but it would be sad if you gave up altogether. I hope you carry on and perhaps do stuff when you want to in the future instead of feeling the pressure to get content out. All the best Gavin
Cheers mate. I will do a few more and see how it goes ; ) Hopefully the Henry Archer will be here soon. I have emailed the owner asking him to clarify the delivery date again. Hopefully I will not have to cancel it!
Nobody buys an Omega cause they want to, It's because they get told to fuck off from ROLEX Authorized Dealer's 😂😂😅
There is a lot of that for sure.
So wrong.
@@maitrehg Well there are a lot of 'I was treated badly in a Rolex AD , then went down the road to Omega' tales told.
@@wristopia4101 Absolutely! But the dude writes that "no one buys an Omega because that's what they want". Rolex fanboys are so arrogant that they assume that EVERYONE wants a Rolex and that Omega is a consolation prize. So pathetic.
@@maitrehg We will never know the true numbers and I agree it was an unfair exaggeration. It's normally Omega fanboys that are vocal though IME. It's pretty rare that a Rolex fan knocks Omega unfairly, and as we have both agreed, there is truth in his comment.
Why not glide lock Rolex??? Come on, maybe another $100 for a glide lock. Dial is disproportionately too big, should be a touch smaller
Good point about the Glide Lock. A lot of people do not realise that it has three hidden micro adjust positions as well as the easy link (or whatever its called). I think the dial just looks big in the video (watches always looks bigger in wrist shots). In reality I find it a tad small for the 21mm lug width, and am annoyed the case measures 38.5mm and not 40mm!
I have tried both. Omega fits a lot better on the wrist. No doubt. #50thanniversaryseadwellerowner
Hi, were they both sized for you? I would have said the Rolex was the more wearable of the two, but there is probably not too much in it.
The 50th Anniversary Sea-Dweller would be the sweet spot IMO. Have only held one and had on wrist unsized, but having worn bigger and smaller I feel it would be the perfect for me size wise.
