TYPE XX's!!!
A look at two interesting watches, both inspired by the original Type 20 aviation chronographs of the French military. Mathy-Tissot and Merkur have brought some excellent examples to market and i am fortunate to have them both on my wrist.

A quick overview of Certina and my DS Action Diver in 38mm. This is quite possibly the ideal everyday accessory dive watch!
Civil Rights
Переглядів 173Рік тому
My recent visits to a couple of civil rights museums and monuments got me thinking about MLK's watch. I thought I would share a few of the sights I've seen over the past couple of months. Hope to get back to posting regularly soon. Check out @tajwiththesupra on TikTok and @TajCars here on UA-cam. One of his TikToks helped to inspire this video.
Sharky Sea Ghost NTTD Homage...Still Good After The Hype?
Переглядів 4,3 тис.Рік тому
It's been a while since Daniel Craig's last outing as James Bond. Purchased during the hype of the movie release, I'll be reviewing my Heimdallr Sharky Sea Ghost NTTD homage. I got a little carried away with Bond's history, but I had fun with this one. Hope you enjoy.

Is the SARB017 the best of all the Alpinists? Honestly, they're all great. Here's a look at mine as well as a little bit of the history of the Alpinist line of watches. Hope you enjoy. Remember to like and subscribe!

Citizen Promaster NY0040 - The Choice of the Italian Navy

A brief discussion of my Citizen Promasters NY0040 family. A great little watch with exceptional design elements and a legitimate military history. If these watches can handle what the navy throws at it, it can definitely handle me!

I picked up a slim turtle homage during the Aliexpress 11/11 sale and I thought I would share my first impressions. All in all, a pretty decent value for the money!

    Thank you for the Certina history. I too own a 38mm DS Diver and I love wearing it. This from a guy who owns a 16610 Sub and an Omega SMP300. I still wear my Sub and Omega but Certina definitely gets more wrist time.

    Calling it a "crows foot" avoids copyright issues but the Ministry of Defence logo is correctly called the Broad Arrow.

    Thank you for this review. I've got and enjoy both watches although my Merkur has a solid caseback, sadly. I also have the Massey Tissot Type 21 Flyback with an ETA quartz. Good affordable homages of Air force chronos are rare. There is also the Baltany Model S205054, a quality Type 20 with a Miyota 6S21, and a San Martin (SN00127 I think). Last year Breguet re issued both their Type XX and Type 20, but I don't like the new hands they put on the XX and its date window at 4 and half. Their price tag is close to 20K$ !

    Great review. I love your channel. One observation, though. I thought that you referred to the Willard as an homage to the Seiko 6309. However, I believe Steeldive's Willard is an homage to the Seiko 6105-8110. I could be wrong.

    Certina certainly has a cool history. I like the DS Action Diver and have had my eye on it for a while. I agree they’re underrated. Something very cool and vintage feeling about that bezel. Thanks for the enjoyable video. 😊

    A nice measured review of a model thaat I've not heard of. The Phylida, I had. My son has the Pagani version of this version of this watch which isn't bad. I have the Goldeneye Omega and Casino Royale Planet Ocean. You didn't mention that the Seamaster was also used in Die Another Day. Nice video from a Bond fan! 😁

    Okay, so I'm just gonna say it. Best Alpinist/017 history and review I've seen. And you know we watch (no pun) all the reviews. I'm acquainted with the Laurel history, and I agree that the 017 was a perfect evolution of those original concepts. 👍🏽⌚⌚⌚

    6:00 That SARB015 reminds me of my currently lusted-after Sinn556i RS 🤤 Great dial + handset for clarity. EDIT- ...but is absolutely *not* what I envision when thinking "Alpinist". The classic green + cathedral hands for the "W".

  • @hgr.7857
    @hgr.7857 Рік тому

    *Outstanding!* The OG SARB017 is on my shortlist for sure; it is just perfectly unique. The new version just doesn't have "it" (but it does have that heinous "X" Prospex logo and the ridiculous cyclops lens). I recently obtained another "always wanted" list - my Sinn 104i St Sa A (grey, H-link). The Sinn 556i RS i it a SARB017 is next. Between those 3 watches and a G-shock 5610U, I'd have all the watches I'd ever "need". But, you know... 💸💸💸 It never ends. Great vid, glad to be onboard with your burgeoning channel. 👍 I really like how you lay groundwork with a bit of history before getting into the watch. Great format 🥂

    I have the full lume version, with the updated movement (it hacks now). The only thing I dislike is the metal bracelet, since it's links are folded metal. Anyway, I put it on a tropic rubber strap, and the watch is awesome now. Citizen is very underestimated. Nice video btw!

    Excellent video. I like how you combined your recent travels, and interest in the Civil Rights movement along with your interest in wrist watches. I've often wondered what notable politicians choose to wear. Controversy seems to come from anything in politics, so I'm curious what politicians wear in public as opposed to private. Recently, president Emmanuel Macron of France apparently had some recent controversy, as he was shown to remove a wrist watch before a TV interview. Some were claiming it was an expensive FP Journe luxury watch ⌚

  • @fredWaxBeans11111
    @fredWaxBeans11111 Рік тому

    I love the backstory you included about Ian Fleming, especially the references in the original books, albeit infrequent and brief, of the description of the watch James Bond wore. Nice editing, production for the video. Your channel is really excellent, you should have thousands of subscribers, tens of thousands, millions!! I'd like to see you start another UA-cam channel with all kinds of other content, including stuff with your doggie 🐕🐶
