S.T. Dupont Le Grand is a SCAM
S.T. Dupont, an old brand, marveled for its quality and craftsmanship, but how does it hold up today? In my experience, it's nowhere near worth the 1200+ euro price tag

Which gas are you using?
Overpriced DuPont gas
@@F4stFr3ddyDo you have a link for the black lacquered Ali express lighter? I can almost never find the exact product from a comment. I'd rather try my luck with one of those than shell out 1700 USD.
Does it also press the bezel back into place?
You can use the included dies to press it back on
I have the same DuPont Le Grand in gold finish and it works flawlessly. Something not adjusted right. Mine was adjusted for flame perfectly from purchase. Maybe the fuel you are using?
We need those Ali express links good brother lol
I just bought an original one and I'm a bit disappointed about the finish. I paid a huge amount and I expected the edges to line up when closed - well they don't line up, by design. This time I think it would've been smarter to choose the fake version. I never did that, but the pricing is just crazy for a clasp.
Did you actually get a genuine one?
Where do you buy these dies to remove bezels?
I design, print and sell them
I’d like to buy one - what’s your details ?
I agree... I love my trunk classic! It's easier to bring along two pairs of shoes on a two week trip.
Bargain. Enjoy
How do you reinstall it?
Put the bezel on and press it down
Luxury does not equal quality. Its just a markup in many cases
If you have the flame too low on the Le grand it won’t spark the torch part
In this case it didn’t matter, the flame was high enough. But if you have the flame too low the air just blows it out.
Is it safe to use on the side of the watch case?
Yes, as long as you don’t touch the anti reflective coating
@F4stFr3ddy which is the sapphire crystal glass right?
was somwhat said that i have a hard time using duopnt style lighter as a lefthanded person
Hi Freddy. Did you do the Maintenance Service or the Complete Service when you sent it to the service center?
IIRC I did battery service with polish or normal maintenance with polish. Didn’t opt for replacement of screens for example.
@ thank you!
Is this really a 5850? It looks like a good size for a small wrist. Not sure if I should get thr 5850 MB or 6850 MB
Yes 5850. It’s the perfect size. 6850 is slightly bigger, but less common.
emailed you!
I not long ago bought a non genuine clasp for my superocean rubber dive strap online, I knew it wasn't genuine but I hoped it would do the trick, it's useless it's difficult to fit to the strap it kind of locks but sits really weird and pops open by itself. It didn't bother me it was really inexpensive and I only bought it out of curiosity, I've since changed the rubber strap to a brand new genuine bracelet correct model for the watch, which definitely was not inexpensive but looks great and increases the value of the watch anyway.
Thank you 👍
I can't tell the difference between the 2 :( 12.5 x 40 = 500 so you can get about 13 cheep lighters for the price of the cheapest lighter S.T. sells.
There seems to be a very small selection of rubber straps for this folding clasp, and by small i mean 2 or 3 choices, it would be nice if there were a leather breitling 20/18 option.
Well take a look at the Breitling website, they release a bunch of new colors. But it could definitely be more.
Weird that you are having a problem with yours, i own a le grand x montecristo and it works flawlessly You should take it to dupont to let it be get checked
Glad to hear yours is fine, enjoy it
Found that $5 "Parike" lighter on Ali. Your video is one of the only ones showing it working. $5 to $1,500 for Le Grand is not even remotely comparable. I need a torch, and value function first, then form, then sound. To have your lighter not work every single time after e1,200 blows my mind. I also don't want to press the striker wheel "up" and have to hold it in an upward motion for any amount of time, the button looks like it works much better on the black & gold $5 lighter. I feel like these companies, DuPont or Apple (noticed the keyboard) build up a cult of personality where if you take a step back and ask "is this worth my money?" you may find other better alternatives out there. I don't even necessarily agree it's a scam--their target audience simply isn't you or me, it's those that think absolutely nothing of the price. This cohort would still demand that it works, though. I hope the return was successful.
Well said, I returned it without issues. I would have happily bought it for 300 euro, it’s just not worth the insane premium. Apple on the other hand, I make a living with a MacBook, I don’t mind the premium and they’ve never failed me.
@@F4stFr3ddyoh I like Apple products too, I guess I meant “the name carries weight irrespective of the item”.
Does that spectre clone require a butane filling adapter?
Nope, just fill it up
@@F4stFr3ddy Excellent, thanks!
Beautiful watch. I cant believe how good it looks with the white dial. Lovely.
Hi! Did you wind up replacing the damaged lock? Rimowa sent me a replacement lock for my broken trunk lock, but I cannot get behind the inner liner to unscrew the old one. Any advice?
Yeah just peal the liner back at the top where it’s glued
Greetings. Do you have links for copy lighters ?
Search for “ping lighter”
@@F4stFr3ddy Ordered that 007 Spectre in black, Thanks!
I’m impressed!
That big red button makes it look cheap
Does that matter?
I have a Tag Heuer where the rubber disengrated, tag wants to replace the case because they don't sell the inserts separately. I'll never buy a watch with rubber accents ever again.
100% agree with you, only rubber parts on a watch should be replaceable strap.
What a wanker.
Thank you so much!😀
I always wanted an ST Dupont lighter, white and yellow metal, I think it’s worth it. Certain luxury items you do have to get used to and learn to adjust to it, like non hacking seconds on Patek, Omega and Panerai watches knowing that cheaper Seikos can hack 🤣, or the fact that new Montblanc fountain pen nibs all need a little bit of tuning when you get it because I don’t know how they pass quality control. But in the end, when you master your product to your taste in my opinion is worth it after.
Interesting perspective and I do agree to it to a degree. Perhaps I just expected too much
Disagree, if you have to learn to use it because its not “tuned” probably, and there is a product (lighter/pen) out there that functions better i will get that. When I pay for a premium product I dont expect to just “flex with the name” i expect it to work perfectly
@@ekstervogel9949 I like luxury things that last for generations, so I personalize with them. I like interacting with them every day. For example, luxury good year welt shoes, they are built in a way that within time your feet will soften the cork, the more you wear them the more comfortable they get. In addition, the more you polish / wax them overtime the better they look, specially with natural patina. Furthermore, sometimes I’ll even strip them to factory finish and color them myself. It’s not a brand flex, as most of the top shoe makers are not even known like that. For example, Antonio Meccariello, Norman Vilalta, Gaziano & Girling and others. To conclude, I like quality but not perfection since I like the personal aspect of things.
one thing is to improve your gadgets to your own style, another very different try to fix something just doesn’t work right, for e1200 i would expect nothing less than perfection on the lighter.
Much Appreciated!! 😊
The blue strap is gorgeous
Is this not available anymore?
Looking to get one for 31mm dj
Email me f4stfr3ddy@gmail.com
Rolex is gaudy, I would never buy one.
What would you buy?
Awesome collection Freddy - 3 very different characters. Rose gold, chocolate dial next?
Probably done with Rolex for a while 😄
nice mate, I've got an Explorer 1 and that exact same blue dial DJ as you. Was considering going for a fluted DJ but going for a sub next.
Can’t go wrong with a sub! But for sure you need a fluted bezel in your life 😄
Impressive, I like the black one the most
Simple repair. And beautiful watch, by the way! 😍
Are the wheel sizes for the Trunk the same as the cabin sizes? It doesn't say online if you need to buy wheel size specific to the trunk
All the same size
Great video most of the things you said is on point..... I believe its harder to fake 149 but there are many fakes of 145& 146 in the market as no.5 & 6 nibs are easily available....... Its even easier to fake rollerball and ballpoint i see that being faked very often for very cheap prices....... You have a good collection of old and new Montblanc love to see them more in detail i have 149 from late 90s with plastic feed its an Broad Italic nib & i am curious to know your opinion on flex calligraphy model how does it performs and if time allows you then i would love to see its own writing sample video....... Thanks for the video mate have a great day ✨
Phenomenal collection 👌🏽, nice pen case.
43mm ✔️ I own the rose gold one B01 on leather.
Can you do a review on the 149 fountain pen and any other fountain pens you have please.
Purchased this great product recently. Works exactly as in the video. Freddy also answered some technical questions I had. Clever product, super helpful - Highly recommend!
I got the one with oyster bracelet , looks a bit younger on me
Lovely, can’t go wrong with either.
Two and a half months ? You're lucky. Beautiful piece.Congratulations man. 👍
Thanks!
Def interested in this for a 41DJ. Is there a website to purchase from as the Etsy link is no longer valid?
You can email me: f4stfr3ddy@gmail.com
I love new small box. As long as it is small and fits into my shelf it is the best. Pouch also good to travel.
