  • Just when I thought I was out, Dan Henry pulls me back in! Today I review the Dan Henry 1975 Skin Diver watch-one of the most interesting and unexpected new releases of 2022, that not only gives us a glimpse into where watch trends are going, but is also Dan's response to a post-Omega MoonSwatch chronograph world. But don't let these modest 37mm and 39mm skin divers fool you! They're actually a gateway into everything exciting, innovative, controversial, good, bad, and ugly going on in the watch world today. Join me for a surprising dive into a truly fascinating watch that's without a doubt Dan Henry's biggest gamble yet. Is it a hit or a miss? And what are the positives and negatives? In this video I also share my initial reaction to the new Tudor Pelagos 39 mm for 2022. What do you think of these new watches? Please share your thoughts in the comments below!

    Bonkers that they ever tried to blag 36mm as being a 'women's size', respect to anyone who can pull off a 46mm IWC, but most of us don't have shins for wrists.

    My experience with Dan Henry: I bought a 1972 Maverick Chorno, the display was not in line so I ask for refund. It turned instantly into a very unfriendly conversation that a display cannot be not in line and that I have to sent the watch back under almost unfullfillable conditions. However, I sent it back but never got my money back.

    I think Dan has absolutely nailed it with this one. When I saw it for the first time, I immediately started to search the web for alternatives (ultimately looking for excuses why not to buy this piece since my watch-related budget saw some substantial expenses lately) but failed. I cannot believe these fun, colorful (skin)divers are not more common. I think a lot of folks would love to wear durable, fun, easy-to-wear but not overly bulky watches. Thumbs up to Dan. He did it again.

  • @ExpeditedProductions
    @ExpeditedProductions 2 роки тому +1

    Very fair and extensive review, TGV. I really think that Dan went all out on this to make the watch exist in the exact right space. It is not supposed to be a ultra diver or any other type of piece other than the most simple and suitable piece for most users. It will suit any wrist other than the largest among us and will perform in nearly situation that most of us would throw at it.
    I can only imagine that Dan, as he has recently been working on and sailing his classic sailing boats, wanted a different piece to wear than his 1972, which is his personal favorite. I am sure that the new piece would be far more suitable on a boat that the 1972 is.
    I really like the new piece. I love the ability to get another Dan Henry in an auto version. They are rare and usually go quite quickly. I just have to figure out which version(s) I want!
    Thank you, as always, for such excellent work, TGV. Onward and upwards, my friend. Be well.

I don't blame you when it comes to the 1972, it's a hard watch not to put on. I even use the alarm to wake me up in the mornings on days I need a back up from the phone. Such fun. Great point about the 1975 being another auto option, I often forget most of his watches are quartz!

    And I also give you value for being the first person I saw here on UA-cam about watches, not quite sure how I started this, but once I started watching your videos, I became obsessed with watches. You have and always will have an immense value as a watch content youtuber, every video almost looks like a documentary. I understand your furstration towards some youtubers, although I don't know why this friction started between watch content youtubers. I believe there's space for everyone here, and many youtubers have their own identity and distiction, so there's value, even if some are also watch dealers and try to sell some brands along the way.
    So if there's something I would say I don't like here in some of your videos, is when you put some of your frustrations for other youtubers in the mix.
    Nevertheless, this channel still is the standard for me, even though I grew the "subscriton collection", because I believe was the pioneer and because of the quality of your work, knowledge, learning, the history and research involved, the documentary - like videos and artistic view about the watches themselves discussed here, which are not always from the famous and traditional brands, most discussed, but also micro brands and brands with value besides price, which is the case of this Dan Henry brand, which, I confess, grew on me because of you.
    Could not thank you enough for all the love I have for watches now, and I hope you continue here for many many years to come doing a wonderful job for this community.
    Wish you the best.

    Good morning TGV,
    thank you, I was waiting for this review :-)
    I like the 1975 Skin Diver by Dan Henry, this seems to be a great watch with high fun factor, moreover very wearable.
    Especially the Meca-Quartz variant seems to be a great option for me and the idea to take a Meca-Quartz movement for a three hand diver watch here is kind of ingenious.
    I too have to say, Dan Henry watches have to be experienced on the wrist.
    I treated myself to the 1964 Gran Turismo and must say, I am very excited! A watch that is wearable in everyday life with a classy, stylish look and a high fun factor.
    Classic design, with a robust and durable movement, so you don't have to worry about service costs or availability of spare parts.
    I also think a Meca-Quartz movement often makes more sense in this price range, such as a Chinese hand-wound chrono movement, for which the service costs will probably easily reach or even exceed the new price of a new watch.
    Many greetings!

    They look great and refreshing to have the sweeping quartz options, would have liked to have seen both size options on wrist for comparison.

    Having owned a watch with a 9015, I could never get over the unidirectional winding. A free-spinning rotor feels disconcerting. Seeing the relative sweep on the mechaquartz, though, is making me want one of those instead. For me, the white is the capolavoro. Too bad the date has a magnifier. It's the only major difference between the original Omega it's based on. If only it had come out at the beginning of the summer. It's the perfect pool watch.

    Countless people have been calling for a 39mm Pelagos and another Ranger. An new North Flag is yet another. That Tudor introducing the 39mm Pelagos, that was a no brainer after the success of the BB58, my thought was- what took them so long?

    Love Dan Henry. I have a 42 mm pilots chronograph of his, and the watch itself plus their customer service is phenomenal. With a 22 cm wrist, I definitely feel a little left out of this one lol but glad to see his continuance in new design and innovation

    I bought the Dan Henry 1945 Chronograph. I was initially thrilled with it, it looks fantastic.
    But, I quickly realized that the watch face was so busy (and I like busy watch faces) that the chrono sub dials erased many of the main minute markers. That loss of functionality detracts from the main purpose of any watch, to tell time, and if you need to set the minute hand near where the left and right sub dials overlap the minute track, then good luck with that.

  • @charlesrockwell3923

    The Dan Henry watch line has some incredibly tempting designs. Elegance with a classic look. I just wish these watches were available built to a higher standard. With better lume, better paint on the dials, polished rare metals for the hands, and similar high end touches the watches would be spectacular. Sure, the price would be $1000-2000 dollars but the end result would be worth the premium. Right now the watches are very handsome but feel a little cheap. No insult to Dan Henry because the watches are a good value for the price. Maybe Dan Henry could come up with a few higher end special releases to enhance the brand.

    I get your cons on the gilt one. I'm surprised Dan didn't do a 'yachty' blue variant, especially considering its intended use and his use of lovely complimentary orange. Perhaps that should have been the gilt one?
    For me, I'd have the no date quartz white steel on brown tropic or orange on black regular.

    I fell in love with this watch. Automatic no-date gilt vs automatic no-date black (with steel bezel): which one would you choose? I think the second one is closer to the 70's original look, but I do love modern materials like sapphire bezel (which is inferior, in my opinion, to ceramic). Thank you! :)

    Outstanding informative review sir. Many thanks for bringing measured unbiased reviews on the whole spectrum of watch collecting and not just “ where is the Rolex market now”. Your insights prompted me to buy a squale 1521 which I love. Have always had a soft spot for Dan Henry especially the 1963, again, in no small part to your earlier reviews. Onward and upward. 🙏
