I'm a studying clock and watchmaker who has been collecting watches from since '09.
I do have a particular passion for Sinn and Rolex and everything in between :)

Riviera 10617
Driven by the prestigious Baumatic manufacture calibre, the Riviera 10617 is the subtle combination of refined and sporty look. Displaying a smoked sapphire gray dial and a black steel-ADLC dodecagonal case, this distinctive silhouette is finished with a black rubber strap for an ultimate black look.
Created in 1973, the Riviera watch returns this year to revive the spirit of a distinguished watchmaking era. Here it is in 2021, still authentic: a poised sized steel case, a dodecagonal bezel equipped with four screws, a “Swiss Made" self-winding movement, and a built-in interchangeable rubber strap. The original design is still there, but so is the desire to adapt to our times.

New Oris Diver, is it as good as the Original ?
I like the watch. I find it unique in a sense that its not a copy of anything out there, its very repairavle. At £500 i’d even consider one, but it rn there are better watches at this pricepoint.
I have the ice blue great watch going to start 2025 with it on my wrist
Happy new year Barry! keep up the great videos.
The Baume and Mercier Riviera has to be one of the best İntegrated bracelet watch designs on the market available at an affordable price tag from a well known watch manufacturer
I believe FCW are offering it at a grand of RRP

Shame I didn't try one with a bracelet maybe next time 👍🏻
this is one ugly watch
But beautiful details ;)
Hi Barry, this is certainly an interesting watch. I note what you say about the longevity of DLC coatings, and feel that B&M missed a trick by not offering a ceramic case. That would have added another dimension to its USP and avoided the wear issue. Although this watch has many excellent qualities I'd rather have a 856, frankly. LG Bob 🍾 🥂
I don't normally say this Bob but I'd go for this over the 856 😱
@ClickSpringReview I'm surprised, but pleasantly so. This watch does have character, and I like being able to see the movement... LG Bob
@@robertlock6041 This one does have a lovely movement ,so its nice to be able to see it Bob
I value your reviews, thank you for your hard work in creating so much useful and informative content. Happy New Year! :)
Thank you Sir thats really nice of you to say , Happy New Year
👍🏽👍🏽
Great value when purchased grey market or second hand the movement is the same as any IWC 5 day
Yes, exactly I think even FCW are even offering it a £1000 of RRP
OMG, I think I’ve found my dream Baume. Thanks for the review. The Baumatic movement is so awesome, and then they make this sexy DLC thing. *sigh*
I'd love to own this one its gorgeous
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
If they made a V2, shaved 2mm off the bezel and 1.5-2.5mm off the case. Make it non LE and charge say £400-£500 it would sell well I think if marketed right. I don't mind the movement choice but that thickness looks like it wears top heavy with those retro dimensions. For me its firstly thickness is the deal breaker compared to original watch.
I'm sure they could reduce the thickness of this one as for the price I'm pretty sure they would let this one go for £600 or less
Could you please tell me how the anti-magnetic properties of this watch compare to those of an Omega watch?
I cant say for sure but the balances spring does have two cores of silicon, I find with most models which say they have high levels of anti-magnetic properties unless unless the movement is completely surrounded in a iron core like the milgauss they still seem to pickup some magnetism as the rest of the movement is made of steel. The best thing to get is a demagnetiser they are very cheap and easy to use and every watch collector should have have, that way you never have to worry
Regarding your comment about inexpensive magnetizers, I concur. I tested my Damasko DK32 by applying a magnet, causing it to demagnetize; however, after using a magnetizer, its operation returned to normal. I performed the same test on an Omega movement, and it continued to function. Indeed, a magnet test can be a useful way to assess the quality of an Omega watch.
Which Omega was it you tested Sir
@@ClickSpringReview Omega Seamaster
The Seamaster does have a silicone escapement which they say is resistant to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss and most importantly it has a free sprung-balance 👍🏻
형님 좋아요
I think its stunning
Awesome watch! Saw one in person for first time in France. I hv mixed feelings on the dial tho bc I think it is cool, but at the same time feel as though it makes it look a little cheap. I am unsure if others feel the same but thaz how it comes off to me
This one just felt quality to me Sam I really liked it
Awesome sauce watch
Its a beast of a watch
19mm lug width? I’m genuinely baffled by such a stupid choice.
Not sure why but it does come on the bracelet , I don't think I've ever took mine of it so its not to bad
Hi Barry, my first impressions of this are that it's a really attractive piece. I do wonder about the wisdom of their branding though: there are several companies called "Timeless" both in new retail and vintage watch markets. They might have a copyright issue to deal with. In common with other viewers I find the website appalling. There is no company information and no detail regarding manufacturing processes. Compare this with the Laco, Muhle-Glashutte and Sinn sites which offer a lot more information. My conclusion is that the product looks good and has potential, but the "company" (whoever they are) does have some serious issues to deal with. End of rant! Happy New Year Barry, Mrs Barry and fellow subscribers. I'm looking forward to more excellent reviews and good news regarding your degree results Barry. It's a big year for you. VG Bob 🍾🍾🍾🥂🥂🥂
Happy New Year Bob and year big year coming so much to do in so little time 🙃 👍🏻
Absolutely stunning. Browsing firstclass watches, it's hard to make my mind up between this and the Laco Atlantik . Two different time pieces, but both absolutely are mesmerising
Ooh tough one I have the Atlantik and love it but also like this one, Id say the Laco because you also have the option of a bracelet
Wrist size?
7.25 inch
I'm intrigued and really impressed by the original design, and as a potential customer I have so many questions: why is it called HMS? Why is their website so bad - they don't explain the differences between the versions, they don't give details of the watches at all. Why is the date hole in a larger date hole? It makes no sense. I thought it was a moon-phase for a moment. There is also no transparency in the volume of watches in the LEs: is it per colour, per model?
Hi, HMS stands for Hours Minutes Seconds as for the Le numbers its per colour, The date window makes more sense on the other models as its in two colour not just black. The options it is only dial colours apart from the DLC model so they are pretty straight forward, The cheapest model only comes on a pin and buckle, Turns out the next model will have a Big Moon Phase Complication 👍🏻
Nomos for me. I have had the OP 39 and it was a lower quality watch overall than the Nomos, except for the bracelet.
Really interesting being a watchmaker I see it the other way round Scotty
@ClickSpringReview, that's odd. Nomos will ship their parts to any watchmaker. Therefore, they are more easily serviced than Rolex. When my Rolex needs a service it costs 3 times what my Nomos costs. My nomos have had less problems than my Rolexs and they keep just as good time. Additionally Nomos calibers are much much thinner. Even Rolexs new Dress 1908 movements are considerably thicker than Nomos calibers. A very famous watchmaker, Mr Dufour rates them highly, and recommended them ahead of Rolex. Nomos is also a much younger brand than Rolex. When Rolex was at the same age as Nomos is, they were not making their own movements. Rolex are good, but they are overhyped and over priced. Even Nomos entry level movements are more competently finished than Rolex, with less tooling marks.
Thanks for replying though, I loved the video.
@@scotty2hotty159 Cheers Scotty I always try and get back to one 👍🏻
I almost bought one today and i know nothing about watches. Searxhed it today and whoa like millions of videos.
Its a great looking watch if you like it go for it
Very interesting piece . It'd be nice if you started with price as standard when refering to first class watches .like the tux style dial but as a package not quite my cup of tea but fair play to the guys for being creative.
The problem I have is there is RRP and there is normally always 10% available online and their is also their make me an offer price and to top it all one of the watches I just reviewed had an special offer price of a grand off, So honestly your better of checking the price at the time Ted
@@ClickSpringReview Fair enough .
Well, thanks for review. No doubt they put some effort and make something unique. When you show that old steam train I understand that connection. But honestly, if I see this thing in a charity shop with £9.99 sticker I would think a little and buy it for that strap:-))
I do love all the details and have to say it does feel solid but its not the type of watch I'd buy myself
If i was going art deco, it wouldn't go for that
I'm with you on that one
Hello, I've been watching your videos for a couple of weeks and I can't decide between a sinn 556A or the hanhart preventor 9 dlc coated limited edition. I was wondering what your thoughts would be on which one I should choose? Thank you for creating great watch videos!
I had to look that one up and its a very cool watch, I person prefer the 556A I think its more of an everyday watch BUT the Hanhart is a LE and I'm sure if you went for it and then changed your mind later you may not lose any money on it PS thank you :)
@@ClickSpringReview thank you for the feedback!!!
Anytime I always try and get back to everyone 👍🏻
What does your heart tell you Logan? You've got two excellent products there, both with established UK distributors. The Sinn after sales service is first class, so take that into consideration before parting with your loot. Ultimately though, buying a watch is an emotional decision: buy the one that appeals to you the most.
Great video and its a really good watch. I got same one
Good choice John I love mean
I love the look of a flieger watch but struggle to buy one as I love the IWC Spitfire (which I definitely can’t afford) but nothing comes close. This one’s cool BUT the hour hand….. I understand the functionality, I get the reason and I’m sure I’d own it if I flew ME109’s but walking round Tesco? Possibly not.😅
😅 The ultimate spitfire has the be the original Bremont Eb120 as the used material from an original plane
Great review - really shows why this untameable beast of a watchis a must-have for serious collectors!
Cheers BB I do like my Sinn watches :)
Seems to be all sold out!
Unfortunately even the one I reviewed sold as I was editing the video
I adore Laco, I have one of their flieger watches. But needs a service :(
I can service it for you 👍🏻
@@ClickSpringReviewwhat are your servicing fees?
Which model is it you have
Luv Squale… just bought Light Blue 60 Atmo Matic… 👍🙂💥
Good choice Sir its a brand I'm getting more into
Bronze… not brass… 👍🙂
Very true Sir my mistake
This looks great! Nevervhad a Rado in the collection. Was thinking it would be a Captain Cook but this may be what i land on. Thanks!
I'm still a fan of the standard Captain Cook Matthew
I just picked one up in Osaka. I love it. No it’s not a vintage pogue. It’s a modern watch with style. It is just beautiful. I appreciate the aluminum bezel that will wear and fad over time as I wear this watch all the time. I have a few seikos. It’s hard to switch them out now.
I do like the vintage look to it but with the modern technology ps welcome the the channel
Lindo relógio, esse modelo é bem autêntico com um acabamento sofisticado show !!🇧🇷❤❤
Classic Laco doing what they do best 👍🏻
Does it come with 99 red balloons?
Aww Nena Classic 😁
I got an original Pogue for my 18th birthday in 1974. It still runs beautifully to this day and I am now considering to get this new watch to accompany it in my collection.😊
Cool do you get serviced much I'd recommend every 5 years if you wear it daily if not 8 years should be ok any more than that many more parts will need replacing
I bought my Sinn 104 St Sa, from first class watches, it was a great experience, the staff were superb, they were very polite and took the time to help me choose the right strap and watch combination. Thoroughly recommend them and of course Sinn.
The 104 is a great model I'm lucky and own one myself, Glad to here you got the watch from them they are a super friendly and good to deal with I've found
I have the Erbstuck version and it’s one of my favourite watches in my collection.
I fancy one myself
I am puzzled as to why Breitling navitimer has such terrible water resistance, especially since the Sinn 903 is the same with 200 meter water resistance. Sinn 903 all the way!
Exactly 👍🏻
Thank you. As for metal vs blacked out, it is close - black wins by 51%.
The black model just seems more special I think
Definitely top notch watch. I think that having to send it to Germany for new battery is holding me back.
Its only every 7 or 9 years it has to be done
Thank you for this excellent comparison. For me the SW300 movement is much better than the SW200 (as you mentioned the sw200 has problems if you handwind). Having said that the U1 is more legible and the crown is easier to use since it is larger.
I always find as long as you don't over wind a SW200 or ETA2824 they are great movements
Nice watch but the wnder is too small for my fat fingers.
😁😁😁 👍🏻
Lovely watch and nice content 👍
Thank you Dio, I do like to review watches not everyone else does
I have a kinetic direct drive and only wear it on vacations in the winter. It has a power reserve dial on it that indicates days weeks months without pushing a button. Had for 3 years and it is still running. Have to wear it for a week to get to a month charge.
Its normally after 5 years on they start needing more time on the wrist to charge up or sometime just stop, If you wear it all the time they are generally ok for double that
Love the PRO versions. 200m WR too. I don’t have one but considering getting one.
I used to have a Memmingen but sold it 😕
