Hello!
My name is Carlos, I am a game developer, photographer, and watch enthusiast, and my channel is where I share my journey through watch collecting with like-minded folks.
This all started with unboxing/reviews of a watches I purchased for myself; I wanted to share my excitement of getting a shiny new watch with all of my "watch nerd" friends.
If you want to be one of my "watch nerd" friends, then you are in the right place.
I love all watches, but I have a bias toward mechanical and automatic watches; I'm a watch addict by all means, which means I like affordable and decadent expensive watches alike.
However, the thrill of the hunt for me, revolves around finding the most "Bang For The Buck" watches.
Those watches strike that magic balance between price and features.
If this sounds like good fun, stick around, watch some videos, and subscribe.
It is good to have you here!

The sunburst blue dial version is absolutely stunning. I was a little sceptical about the size , but as it turns out it's a perfect size for my 6.5 inch wrist. Any smaller and this wouldn't look right on a man's wrist. This is a watch that you buy because you like the look of it, not because of it's name. Re the white/gold version, this is clearly a ladies version.
It may be a lady's version but in think I can pull it off :) Nothing about it seem overtly feminine to me, but that's a subjective opinion So did you end up getting the blue dial?
Same as the Longines Masters. Is there any watch in swatch concern with the same complications?
Yeah, I think so I belive Certina or one of the other e-try level brands has used the same movement in the past, but I would have to trace their whole category But being that Longines and Mido are both from Swatch, they have access to the same movements, except, of course, swatch only seems to give the column wheel versions to Longines and Omega 🤷🏻♂️
regarding the water resistance it’s until 30m. you wouldn’t wear it to the pool? - just asking as because i wouldn’t think about its as its 30m/3 bar
Water resistance is not measured in depth; it's measured in pressure So 3bar means it can withstand the pressure found at 30 meters underwater But other elements can affect pressure. For example, diving into a pool can significantly increase the pressure at the point of entry With that said, it is safe to say you do not want to take this watch swimming :) Not just because of the 3bar water rating but because chronograph pushers can be accidently pressed underwater in ways that further compromise your water resistance Thanks for commenting with such a great question!!!
So was going to buy this- having just bought the sharp edge at a bargain price, I got offered this new for £500 ($646) but after doing some research I ended up buying its sister watch the Certina DS Action GMT Powermatic true gmt in green/pvd for £350 ($450) I couldn’t say no to that! On its way to me next week. Can’t wait I’m usually a Rolex / omega guy but fancied a couple of different types for my collection.
Certina is awesome Did you see my review on the action diver? ua-cam.com/video/4Hi-puA45-o/v-deo.htmlsi=xA4fGMUI-s7w-eT5 Sound like you got a great deal!!!
Totally agree with your verdict. Higher water-resistance would be awesome.
Yes! It’s an excellent watch and a truly unique and creative offering, o think in a few months these will be a heck of a deal on the gray market too Thank you so much for taking the time to comment 🍺🍔
Hi! Better than any of the 39 invicta’s I own- that’s for sure😂😂
I mean, to be fair, the Invicta Pro Diver with the Selita Sw200 is one excellent watch for the money Thank you so much for taking the time to comment 🍔🍺
you are so right, the weight of a watch is important and one of the things about titanium is that it is light and it does feel less quality and why I always seem to prefer steel to precious metals as the heavier weight just feels better to me. I do have titanium watches and I do like them but I always wish they were in steel.
It's good to know I'm not alone! 😅 Thank you so much for taking the time to comment 🍔🍺
@@LosNTime oh it is a good review.. thank you 🍺
Been offered this for $765 all in, what do you think
Sounds like a good deal!!! What’s the condition?
@@LosNTime new.
That sounds really good to me It’s a great watch What’s your gut telling you?
@@LosNTimeI bought it, it’s a lot darker than in the photos, the orange almost a washed out salmon colour. Other than that keeping great time- bracelet a bit tinny, either too loose or too tight In the uk it retails at £1365, as mentioned I paid £599. Doesn’t feel like a £1365 watch, I feel my Alpinist has better build quality but I’ll see how I get with it. If not I’ll sell it for what I paid. It’s one of my cheaper watches so I might be biased.
Hey there! The orange might look a bit more salmon, especially the GMT hand. Unfortunately, I don't have mine on hand right now as I'm in the process of moving to Portland, Oregon. By the way, last October, I picked up an alpinist SPB121. I think the presage GMT SPB217 feels like a more luxurious offering than the SPB121. To me, it feels more expensive, but that's just my personal take on it. In my opinion, the movement of the GMT is also more exciting and refined than the alpinist movement; the fact that it is one of the few 4hz movements Seiko offers at this range doesn't hurt either :) Anyway, I hope you grow to love the watch, but if it doesn't end up vibing with you, selling it for something more exciting is the right move. You got it at such a low price that I'm sure you will be able to move it with little effort if you do decide that it's not for you. Keep me posted on your journey! I love mine, even though I don't get as much wrist time since I picked up my zenith. 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
150g? does mido market this watch to bodybuilders? jokes aside, like the design. the curvature on the flanks is a big plus.
I didn't find it to be heavy, unless you compare it to a titanium watch like the CW 12. I love the curves of this watch. It is such a great-looking and classy watch I'm not sure if they are out yet, but a smaller, lighter version was in the works :) Thanks for taking the time to comment, my friend!!! 🍺🍔
@@LosNTime I can confirm, got it delivered today and it's way lighter than expected; the steel links are quite thin. Have a good one 🍹
That's awesome! Honestly, I love that bracelet. The rounded model link is so classy 😅 I hope you love it, brother Thanks for the update 🍺
@@LosNTime I do, it's very wearable and handsome. Runs approx three seconds fast, the double AR coating makes the dial super legible, and the 100m water restistance makes this so much more versatile. Love the dual date apertures and the overall squarishness of the case. I've always been a fan of square watches, and originally wanted a B&R BR5 or a Jaeger Squadra. I'm glad I didn't - this puppy has scratched that itch and then some. Really hard-pressed to find any faults. I'm not the biggest fan of butterfly clasps, but this guy fits snug. I suppose I could've lived without the display case, considering this is (apart from the rotor) an undecorated movement. Either way, this watch punches way above its weight. I was on the fence until I saw your review. Thanks for diving in deep and help steer the audience in the right direction, and sorry for blabbering on. Enjoy yours!
I could not have articulated it any better than you did. The butterfly clasp doesn't bother me aesthetically, but the watch was a bit tight on my wrist. as well, I believe the case size format is the real winner. Hopefully, Mido will release a COSC version of this watch someday so we can enjoy the more decorated movement. Having said that, I'm pleased that the powermatics being utilized for these new complications feature normal escapements rather than the cheaper ones with plastic escapements. Congratulations on your outstanding watch, brother. I am truly happy for you! 🍺🍔🍺🍔🍺🍔🍺🍔
Visited CW in Maidenhead near London, as that's the only place you can see and try the watches. Had my eye on the C65 aquitaine bronze but the twelve blew me away on the spot. So I picked the basalt Grey 40mm and my wife got the 36 alto white as you show on the video. Beautiful watches.
Man, that's awesome It's so cool you got to visit their brick-and-mortar I would love to stop by if I'm ever in the London area! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your story 🍺🍔
people who are saying its not a patek are just clueless mainstreampeople.. mido literaly intruduced this design before Patek, but Patek is just the bigger brand with more luxurywatches.
Very well said Thank you for taking the time to chime in 🍺🍔
That's crazy but... true. The more you know.
🍺🍺🍺🍺
Carlos, great video. If you don’t remember me, I was the guy who gave you a hard time for using the word “insane!” to describe a watch. Your recent videos have articulated the experience of using these timepieces in a way that we can use to make informed decisions. Great work!
Hey Dude! Yes, I remember! believe it or not, I try to listen to folks feedback and put it into practice whenever it feels right and organic to me 😜 Thank you for your original feedback, for sticking around, and for taking the time to highlight my growth I appreciate you, my friend 🍔🍺
@@LosNTime You’ve earned my sub. I wish you the best on your channel. My wife surprised me with a Tudor Black Bay GMT. If you are ever in Colorado, you should stop by and do a review.
Dood! That’s awesome That's a great watch Thank you for the good wishes I'm actually in the middle of reallocating my family to Portland, Oregon (from central Texas) So, who knows? If Colorado has some good events, I may make it out there 😆
@@LosNTime We moved here from an island in Puget Sound a couple years ago. We are on the way. Stop by.
Hit me up on Instagram @losart3d I'll let you know if I'm in the area 🍺
lol ill be honest i came here to get another glance at the dragonfly blue on the CW and glad I did because I learned alot about GMTs too. With that said I'm still going to get the CW C63 GMT. All I really need is to to know UTC time at a glance for my office job. The more complicated true gmt is a cool horological achievement though. I wonder the cost of getting a true gmt serviced compared to a sellita sw330-2.
That’s a great point! I probably sound a little biased, but in the end, my preference aside I’m happy that I could help make you feel stronger about your decision I think you will love the C63 As far as servicing, all these GMTs would get a movement swap; the cost of the movement is much cheaper than the hourly labor of dismantling and re-assembling a movement So, to be fair, all of these watches should be very similar as far as cost My guess would be in the ballpark of USD 300
Also a good point on the swaps didn’t consider that. I just found out that the consort bracelet got an upgrade with micro adjust. That’s pretty awesome
Yes! I didn't know about the micro adjustment, so I'm not sure if the review unit had it It's a sweet little detail Let me know if you do end up getting it I'm curious to hear your impressions once you have it on hand 🍺🍔
Unfortunatelly the bracelet coated only by PVD treatment…😢
That's what I heard about the clasp But I would not be surprised if the entire bracelet is pvd When you look at the bracelet reference number, you can see it's not unique to this watch Which is why I think it's not DLC like the case It is a universal bracelet that's been part of their catalog for some time I was disappointed to learn that the case might be the only metal elemt finish with DLC coating :(
Personally I prefer the Bader Bracelet. Is to shiny it distracts from the watch face. I don’t like over complicated links which in this case it seems it is.
You really can't go wrong with the bader; it's just classy and to the point elegant in its traditional simplicity Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts 🍔🍺
Compare this to Maurice Lacroix pontos S Diver for the best value, movement, quality and finesse.
Man, I would love to get the Pontos S Diver for review; I will send them a message and see if they let me borrow a review unit I’m not super familiar with the watch, but it does look very cool; I like the internal bezel, so that’s something that looks very exciting I'm not sure that an apples-to-apples comparison is possible with the TV big date The bronze version looks particularly striking to me :) Thanks for taking the time to share!
Great review!
Thank you! 🍔🍺
Titenium???
Yes sir!!!
I like my Invicta Pro Diver.
Invicta Pro Diver is great They make a version with a Sellita sw200 Just a few years ago, you could get them with that Swiss workhorse movement for under $200 I haven’t checked prices for some time, but the pro Diver with the Swiss Movements was by far the best value watch on the market for quite some time 🍔🍺 The NH35 version is phenomenal, too, but the Swiss one was a truly unbelievable value 😆
I have a GMT ocean star GMT, had to sent to repair twice, first time with the crown which didn’t stay in, second time with the misaligned hour hand, everything under warranty though. At night the lum is very bad, take a while to read time. However the finish and polish are good considering the price, also for daily use, fairly accurate.
Man, I'm sorry your Ocean Star gmt has given you a hard time, I've had my ocean start gmt (black dial orange gmt hand) for 3 years and it been perfect I also find that the gmt hand is hard to read specially under low lite as the only 24 hour markings are only on the chapter ring and they are tiny 😆 I guess that's the downside of having a time bazel vs a gmt bazel 🤷🏻♂️ Thanks for your comment I'm happy to know you were able to get your watch corrected under warranty By the way if you want a lume monster check out the ocean stat 600 cosc that watch is BANANAS 🍔🍺
Nice review. I just purchased this recently and chose the black dial instead of the the blue or green, although both looked great too. I wanted to be able to mix and match all the bracelets/rubber straps with the dial. Instead of purchasing the OEM rubber straps (around $150 each I think), I purchased from strapsco to try out all 3 rubber straps (orange, blue and green. Cost me around $70 for all 3, still looks great. Thanks for the review once again, loving the watch!
That makes a lot of sense! Good thinking on getting the straps from a 3rd party. That's a great way to save a little money I hope you enjoy your watch for many years Thank you for the comment 🍔🍺
You wont find a nicer moon faze under 2k imo..
It is a lovely one, that's for sure! Thanks for taking the time to comment 🍔🍺
Loooooove mine. I am a pro diver and it works flawlessly for it. Plus it just looks sexy.
That's awesome The blue dial one is excellent, too I may pick one up eventually By the way, it is so cool to meet someone who dives with their watch 🍔🍺
@@LosNTime I have taken it to 100 meters and the lume is very visible and works sans issues. It also is with me when am doing explosive testing. The shockwaves from the explosions haven't affected its accuracy.
@@jlambuth that's amazing, and I'm not surprised to hear about the lume My first impression was that the lume was an absolute torche! By the way, I just noticed the vault boy on your avatar. I worked at Bethesda for five years 😄

@@jlambuth very cool 🍔
The two tone is growing on me. For $900, that's pretty awesome. How does it stack up to a Mido or an Alpina around that price point?
In comparing the three watches, I would give a higher rating to the Certina over the Alpina due to its ISO rating and the presence of a well-lummed second hand. The clasp of the certina is also superior (same as the Mido). I prefer the styling and finishing of the Ocean Star, particularly the polished bevels on the case and the dual-finished hands. However, it's worth noting that the Mido is not ISO-rated. While style is subjective, when considering the specifications on paper for a three-hand date diver priced under $1000, I believe that Certina offers the better option. That being said, regarding vintage GMT catalogs, I find Mido to have the superior offering. 😆 I would add Alpina is an excellent watch with more original design than Certina, even if the watch is not as strong on paper
Love 2 tone but I prefer the 38 mm version.
That 38mm was a great option !!!! Is the 38mm iso certified?
@@LosNTime yes, it's a certified diver. 300 m WR
That is absolutely outstanding! I have a 7.5-inch wrist, so 43mm is a great size for me, but having a 38mm option was a brilliant move by Certina 🍺🍔
Funny how they made entry level tool watch to look flashy like two tone gold. I'd rather get Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogmen. At least the H10 movement in Hamilton does not have plastic like Powermatic 80. Also H10 movement accuracy is within COSC. But i guess that's why Hamilton branding is stronger than Certina even though they are both under Swatch Group.
Certainly! Here's a revised version of the text: It's important to note that both the Frogman and action diver movements are the same for both Certina and Hamilton. Neither are COSC certified, and they feature the same escapement, without any plastic parts. However, one advantage Certina has over Hamilton is that the action diver is ISO-certified, if that factor is important to you. While Hamilton has a strong brand presence in the US, its popularity diminishes significantly outside of North America. It's important to understand that entry-level Swatch brands all utilize the same resources and each focuses on different regions of the world market while sharing the profits with Swatch. In the end, Hamilton, Certina, Mido, and Tissot all offer the same quality and value. You can confidently choose any of these brands based on what resonates with you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I also have a fondness for Hamilton and am looking to review their Frogman diver. Cheers! 🍔🍺
Hey, heads up! Next week, I'm dropping the review for the PH200m. Let me tell you, this watch from Certina is another level of awesome, and the colors are seriously cool. The only bummer is that it's not ISO certified, but it's still a fantastic skin diver-style watch. Keep an eye out for it if this is your kind of vibe! 🌟🔥👀
This powermatic 80 does not contain plastic parts.

Me too!!! It started with rose gold accents; that was my gateway. Now I'm looking at this yellow-gold accents, and they look delicious 😆 Man, I should have never gotten into watches. This addiction is quickly getting out of hand 😆
That Mido means business. Pure class!!!
Yeah it really does!!! 😆 Its an awesome watch!!!!
The PH200 model would be my choice
Its a nice watch for sure and it still has a bit of gold for a more subtle flex 😆
I absolutely love Certina. It's on my to-do list!
I'm rendering the full review for the blue two-tone action diver, hoping to have it up tomorrow That watch is a severe, serious tool watch 😆
Thanks so much for the great feedback on Mido. I am looking to purchase my first Ocean Star but not sure which model. You have opened my eyes to some of the different Ocean Star models. Thanks for the detailed reviews!!!
Hey there! Thank you for the kind words. Mido creates fantastic watches, and the Ocean Star collection offers excellent options at various price ranges. Do you have a favorite model in mind? Thank you so much for your comment. By the way Comments like this make me feel excellent about the work I am doing on this channel 🍔🍺
@@LosNTime thanks!!! I am leaning towards Ocean Star 200C with the wavy textured dial. I’m wanting sort of a dress diver that is not too thick but can still handle the water etc.
That's an awesome one! Plus, there are some excellent deals on the gray market if you want to save a good chunk of cash 😆 Also, I'm not sure if they are out yet, but they have some 38mm divers coming out that should be super classy One last thing: don't shy away from the more vintage-inspired ocean starts The new 40mm GMT shark tooth is amazing 😅 That was the last watch I reviewed. If you want to check it out
It's not a luxury watch. Premium yes. Luxury watches are minimum of 5/6 K and some would say 8 due to the inflation of the last few years
Yeah, that's a pretty interesting take Thanks for sharing 🍔🍺
More watch less your mug
Unlikely thanks for the feedback 🤙🏼
I really like the blue dial version
The blue dial in 42mm is excellent, too! Do you think you’ll pick up the 36mm? The 36mm blue dial comes in a steel bracelet, correct?
Yeah it comes in a steel bracelet. But I'll wait for a price drop. $1000 is a bit too steep
@@foxxtail06 oh yeah give it a year or two it will be a good pick up on the gray market for sure 🍺🍔
Great review! I watched your GMT version video and just ordered it. Love this watch as well. Have you seen the limited edition "day of the dead" version? I'm all in on that one.
Hey there! Yes, I have seen it! They come out with a new one every year. I can't reveal too much, but the one for this year is going to be really exciting! I'm really looking forward to eventually getting the original DOD; the first one is definitely the best so far, haha! Keep me posted on how you like the GMT when you get it and which one you decided to order.
your title lol, the mido multifort tv was first
Glad you liked it! Not only was it the first, but rumor is Patek sued Mido over this new one and lost 🤷🏻♂️ It has not confirmed this, so don't quote me tho, lol
@@LosNTime It'd be nice if you could confirm that info. I loved the watch I got the so-called chocolate edition but it's hard to find reviews on it.
@@trickjacko8482 That's an awesome dial! (chocolate). Congrats! I hope you will enjoy it for many years 🍔🍺
Great review! Thanks for making everything easy to understand for new enthusiasts
Your kind words mean the world to me. I'm so grateful for your lovely comment and that you enjoyed the video. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. 🍺🍔
@@LosNTime no, thank you for the content and help on the journey. Just subbed 🍻 salud
Of course! It's so great to have you on board! Don't hesitate to stay in touch! Cheers! 🍺🍔
Does the bracelet use screws or push pins?
Hey there! most swatch brands like Mido, Tissot, Hamilton, and Certina use split pins instead of screws in their bracelets. The use of screw pins is more common in higher-end swatch brands like Longines and Omega. Hope this info helps! 🤷🏻♂️
Great review and content!
Thank you! I'm so happy you liked it!
Beautiful video. With your color grading, it looks like the dial is more royal blue than teal. In reality, when you handle the watch, how would you describe the blue?
Thank you for your question! The video's white balance is adjusted using a calibrated neutral gray card, which should ensure accurate colors. However, variations may occur due to differences in monitors/screens, causing colors to appear warmer or cooler. Considering the dramatic lighting, I focus on the bright sunburst highlights and darker areas to simulate how the watch might appear in dimly lit environments such as a pub. Overall, I believe the video accurately represents the color of the watch in real life. I hope this is helpful to you 🍔🍺
Dude, what’s going on with your nails??
My son paints my nails sometimes it’s a fun thing we do I like it 🍔🍺
Beautiful watch love it I hope you'll enjoy it for long! It is a bit big for me (with little over 6,5 inch wrist) I hunting for the full open 38mm version in Europe. Tricky quest but hope I'll find it in the near future.
Hey there! This watch is my absolute favorite - it's the only one I wear. You're totally right about it being big, lol. Back in 2016, big watches were all the rage, lol. I think my 7.5 wrists help me rock it, lol. You'll probably love the 38mm open El Primero. It's not as complex, but the smaller size makes it super classy and refined. I've seen some great prices for them on the American gray market, but I think taxes and import fees are higher in Europe. If you end up getting one, please let me know! I hope you find an awesome deal like I did. 🍔🍺
@@LosNTime Thanks I’m sure about the size, I had tried it on a vacation to Cyprus probably 5 years ago but at that time I was a noob and couldn't imagine spending so much on a watch. So I get home I tried to seach something similar in my price range. I find and bought a Hamilton Jazzmaster Chronograph Skeleton (limited to 999) which was the closest thing under one thousand EUR. Since then I have dived into the hobby quite a bit, I bought expensive timepieces like Rolex Air King (wasn't my cup of tea sold it real quick) Doxa Sub 300 and Cartier Santos 2823 (neovintage XL size) I sold my Hamilton skeleton a few month ago because it felt a bit big (43mm with 13mm thickness) so now I’m on the hunt for the real best open work for me Fortunatelly it is at half of the original MSRP like in your case 🍺
Yeeeeees! That is very similar to my experience I like Hamilton, but I can assure you Zenith is next-level And as you mentioned, at half of MSRP, there's simply nothing else like it I hope you get to pick it up and that you enjoy it for many years Mine has ruined me. I don't wear other watches anymore, and I haven't seriously looked at purchasing any other watches since 😆 🍔🍺
@@LosNTime It's okay if I don't buy more watches, my bank account will thank me 😅 When I get my Zenith, I've already reached the perfect collection of three watches. But I hope sometimes I will be able to put another one on 🤣
That's awesome 😅 Keep me posted 🍺🍺🍺
Casio Duro sunburst blue is a nicer blue
I will have to check it out!!!
Love this watch ... and yes to say again, Mido had this style before Patek ... even though it might not carry the same prestige.
It's a great-looking watch, no doubt about it!!! Rumor is Patek took Mido to court and lost 😆 Thanks for your comment 🍺🍔
Mido, Tissot, Certina and Hamilton are the "Fab Four" of Swatch group. It is healthy to say that all of them have in-house movements, some use silicium other use nivarox hair Springs which is state of the industry like Rolex or Omega. They are supebly finished and the precision is in the range of Omega Metas and Rolex. I have all these brands and are my favorites. Also are though as nails. Just put the name of Rolex/Omega aside and you will hardly find a difference in terms of quality, aesthetics and long tradition of great watch making.
They are excellent watches, no doubt about it I should be getting some Certina watches for review soon, so stay tuned 🍺🍔
Mido TV Case in the Multi Star was release in 1973, Patek Nautilus release 1976 and Piaget Polo release 1979.
Damn, that's some excellent info. Thanks for sharing!
Was waiting new seiko spb released but this got my attention more then R6 movement's to be honest 🤔
I absolutely love my Seiko Sharp Edge GMT - it's definitely one of the standout pieces in my watch collection. The 6r64a GMT movement in it is just fantastic, especially compared to the ETA in my opinion. However, the Mido definitely holds its own - it's a stunner in its own right. Honestly, you can't go wrong with either of them. I actually have both the Ocean Star GMT and the Sharp Edge, and I adore them for different reasons. But there's something truly special about the Seiko Presage Sharpedge. It's definitely a standout piece in my collection. 🍔🍺
@LosNTime what movement have this watch? Is the powermatic 80 with plastic parts what certina and tissot uses?
What an insightful question! Mido and Certina utilize the same GMT movement, which is currently exclusive to them. Both are based on C07.661, a higher grade power matic with a metal escapement. Tissot, on the other hand, is the only brand that uses the lower grade c07.1xxx with a plastique escapement, seen on the pox. Other Tissot watches, such as the gentleman, feature much higher grade powermatic. In the entry-level hierarchy of swatch brands, Mido and Rado reign at the top of the entry-level market, surpassing Tissot, Hamilton, and Certina, which is only outranked by Longines, positioned just below Omega. This means that Mido ensures the best parts and finishing at its price range. I hope this provides the information you were looking for!
@@LosNTime thank you so much for clarity 👌👌
@LosNTime thank you for the clarity👌👌now also thinking about spb383 gmt really got my attention very hard decision right now have time until next week🤦
What is this long jeans you keep mentioning?
Longines 🍺🍔🤙🏼
@LosNTime Then why do you pronounce it long jeans? The ng is a nasal n sound and the s is silent. Longines is named after the location where the company was founded.
Great thanks for the info 🍺🍔🤙🏼
