Move the mics out from the middle
Happy to see Michael back! 🙌🏼
Agreed
why the other guy had so much more energy
In terms of presentation, Sam has too much of the same energy as Christian which made the videos a bit monotone kind of like if you were at dinner and ordered a grilled steak and a grilled pork chop. Perhaps he will get better as he gets more comfortable in front of the camera.
@@chowda4u disagree
*Harris
Yeah, Michael needs to be in every episode
Not putting down the other guy, but the duo worked
Michael is great. I love his sort of chill demeanor and great sense of humor. It plays well off of Christian’s sometimes hyperactive and spastic personality.
Great Duo. Wondering when Michael is going to become a “curator”. WTH is a curator? I had to Google that 🤔😂😂
Welcome back Mike! It's not t&h without him!
Michael is a much better co-host
Guy is wearing a Rolex Pepsi talking about Tudors and Tissots being overhyped. Is this a comedy show?
somewhat
LoL
@YorkiepoocharlieClown show yes .
Have no idea why gen z hipsters would wear a old man watch .
@@julienfroidevaux1143 because old man watch is amazing?
STUDIO UPDATE COMING SOON! WE’RE MOVING THE MICS!
Oh thank goodness.
Maybe you should add a head to your torso of microphones.
Please do. I do miss the close up of you two, it was more intimate. The old style made it feel like we were sitting on the table having a discussion, it’s what got me hooked.
Can I just add a point in defense of the timeless functionality of the Speedmaster? I own a Speedmaster and a Submariner 14060M. These two watches are, for me, the perfect "two watch, sport watch" collection, as icons of the class. But I find myself wearing the Speedy much more than the Rolex for one very simple reason. The matte black dial. As I've aged and my eyesight has grown worse, the matte dial and matte white hands of the large faced Speedy is the most readily legible watch I own even without my glasses on. This means a lot. I would give anything if they offered a modern Sub with a matte dial, as originally designed. That matte dial serves a real, functional purpose on a sport watch, and the Speedy has not strayed from that ethos. To me, that's huge.
I like this episode: (1) Mike is back and (2) It's not sponsored by "FAKE." Seriously, guys, you should never haven taken money from a company named "fake" that sells replica anything.
Finally Michael is back🎉🎉
Michael is hilarious bro. Still looking forward to seeing Sam come into his own on the channel
You guys are prolific, I love it. I get off work and watch a watch video every day, and you always have new shit. Thank you!
A Rolex not being #1 is a joke.
Textbook Overpriced, Overrated, and Overhyped.
Michael is back!!
Michael you don't need to force yourself to look at the camera anymore, this is a nice podcast setup and you can just focus on listening to Christian and being engaged with him and then when you are changing into guest host mode you can address the camera. Old rules don't apply anymore
You’re gonna give the poor guy a complex.
Great to see the Butch Cassidy & Sundance Kid of the watch world back together!
I am glad I am not the only one who appreciates your amazing dynamics on discussing watches. Have you ever thought about branching out to other subjects?
MICHAEL IS BACK LETS GOOOOO
Found this channel a couple months back and have watched every vid since, very entertaining
Michael back. It all makes sense again
Do more of those openings. You guys are great but you can make the conversations lighter. More fun.
Christian, please introduce yourself in the next video as a muppet on PBS
Welcome back Michael. Welcome you are indeed.
The PRX Chronograph is where it's at. I love wearing that watch.
Overtook my skx as my favorite watch.
It’s an iconic piece, and bang for buck a terrific watch
daytona, overhyped. what are people timing? date/day function is more useful day to day.
Great content, as usual, guys... There are a lot of "reviewers" out there, but you give a different approach to watches. Very enjoyable. Just a tiny suggestion for Christian. Change (slightly) your clothes (and watch!) when you record two videos on the same day 🤣 / You should invite Sam more frequently!
31:44 As an owner of several Rolexes over the past 20 years, I'm taking my Marine Master 300 in the water.
Well done boys, can't say I agree with all your watch picks but definitely entertaining! Thanks for keeping me entertained while I work on watches.
Michael!!!! He’s back!!!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼, I didn’t watch the other two videos because Michael wasn’t in them😌😌😌
Love you guys. So glad I found this channel. Learned so much
Speedmaster P is the watch of the watches. Not to cheap or expensive. Works forever and visibility is the best, and manual instead of automatic, so you get the ritual to wind it up.
Daytona is over hyped just like Hulk..
Dude!! The Speedmaster Professional is just as hyped as the Daytona. Neck and neck anyone who says the Speedmaster is not overhyped is lying to themselves. If I hear it's the watch that went to the moon one more time. I'll probably puke coat hangers. It's not a special as it once was. Omega ran it into the ground and now the Swatch . It's played out
@lonewolfemcquade8133 Overhyped? Look at the price of a new Speedy compared to any used hype watch. You complain about people mentioning its history, yet, how many other costed more than a new car for no other reason than it was worn by some celebrity.
@@lonewolfemcquade8133meh. Nobody aside from watch people even knows what it is. Which is great. Been wearing Speedies for decades and had maybe three people make a comment. Try that with Rolex.
@@lonewolfemcquade8133If Rolex's history wasn't full of lies, they'd bang on more about it too
@@seanthomxx2694With all the price hikes Omega is doing. It will probably be the same price as a Daytona and no time. I guess your gonna ignore that little fact
Good to be reminded from time to time how lost we are in the hype of things 😂
Also… what mics are you using?
I’m with you. I bought a 911 then I bought the new JLC Polaris chrono. No PD watch necessary.
In the year of our Lord 2023, the royal oak doesn't have an instant date change, and the power reserve is less than 2 days....$52k+ price tag ouch
_(Waves at Michael)_ Glad to see you're back!
Did he just say the finishing on a Longines chrono is better than the iconic Speedmaster? Oh boy.
Yeah that's BS, but Longines finishing is often not that far off from Omega, at least in their 3000+ USD watches.
Great to see Harris back with Theo..
Love the video. Welcome back Michael. Oh by the way did I say I love the video
Great video & intelligent discussion
Over hyped or excessive market demand at the retail price point /supply level? If so, why? As in what is it that makes people love this watch, is it under priced, or is supply too constrained.
The reality I think, is there is excessive market demand at a steel watch price point for specific designs that are well finished. That’s the common link between all these watches.
I’m very tempted to subscribe to the zero, but you release such great content so regularly for free which I’m still catching up on :-)
The greek & the twink is quickly becoming my favorite yt channel
Yeah keep Micheal. I literally almost unsubscribed because that dude you had “Sam” was not good. It was painful. Never leave Micheal, you are carrying this channel.
Wait….
WHERE’S Anna?!
Glad to see Harris back in the seat. Theo and Sam just didn’t have the same ring.
Everyone should try to ensure that are not letting themselves be overly influenced by what is "hype" and what isn't, and to judge things on their own merits as they pertain to your taste. It's easy to understand that in terms of not buying something just because there's hype around it. It's harder for people to accept that when they disparage something popular just for being popular, they're still letting themselves be dictated by what is hype and what isn't.
Welcome back Michael!!!! 🎉
Fake moon landing and Stanley Kubrick comments make me so proud! 😂
I love the speedy aesthetic but I feel like I’m lying to myself if I bought one because I too think the moon landing is preposterous.
To someone who is not into watches, isnt Rolex the definition of hype?
While there is definitely a lot of hype surrounding Rolex, they do make very high quality, durable and well built watches. That is pretty hard to deny. Whether they’re worth the money is another question. I myself own a Rolex Sea-Dweller and absolutely love it. There are much higher end brands out there (Vacheron Constantin, FP Journe) but Rolex has this amazing brand cache due to their history, and some might say their marketing. They also have over 30% of the Swiss watch market, which for a single brand is just nuts. A lot of watch collectors and enthusiasts, including myself, have been annoyed at Rolex because of how hard it is to obtain one new. Some people think the scarcity has been artificially exaggerated by Rolex to make their watches more desirable. Is the hate they get justified? Some of it, yes.
Did they ever explain why Michael was gone in the first place?
Id bet traveling to film or s/t
It’s nice to see Theo back or Harris or Kristy or whatever his name is
"In my brain I was salivating at the thought of dropping that little bomb" 😂🤣🤣 Whhite gold🤣 You guy are the best! I listen to all the watch podcasts and videos on UA-cam and i gotta say you guys are the best hands down 👍
Considering everyone claims the PRX is so hyped, I have never seen it out in the wild. Gotta keep perspective guys. Even if something is hyped within our community doesn’t mean it’s that common in the grand scheme of life.
I have one and I will tell you the truth……It’s a veery good watch at this price point!! It gets a lot of hate bc of the comparison to the AP royal oak, Understandably. But if we’re being honest ALL of these brands borrow from each other and use other brands designs to some degree. The royal oak resembles the Rolex OP quartz date just 5100 circa 1970. Which dropped b4 genta’s design came out w the royal oak. Back to the PRX, those brushed links in the wild go crazy when ANY kind of light hits it. And the fact that it hasn’t been immediately disregarded when it’s literally only a ONE link bracelet says a lot. The finishing is not AP level of course. However, it’s more accurate, more affordable and more power reserve. If the dial were done to a higher degree and the corners of the bracelet were coin rolled & polished to match the taper of the case, AP would reeeeeeeeally have a serious issue on their hands. (No pun intended). Overall, Great vfm! 🙏🏾💯
I’ve seen it pretty often here in NYC streets along with Submariners and Cartier Santos. Those are the three I see the most.
@@Kbo513 I live in SoCal and I mostly see submariners and speedmasters. When I go out to nice dinners I do see Royal oaks and nautilus. I own a santos and have only seen it in the wild once. Different worlds and depends on where you live I guess.
@@drkesrf Most of the people I’ve seen with the PRX are more on the younger side. Santos around my age - mid 30s. I did see an old man with a Tudor BB GMT. It overwhelmed his wrist, but he wore it nonchalantly.
I’ve seen a Patek Nautilus with an older gentleman and an AP Royal Oak perpetual with a much younger kid. He looked like he was part of the hype crowd, but that is only my initial impression from him. There was one instance I went to a late dinner at this hyped restaurant (long lines/cash only) - these younger kids predominately wore their Rolex sports models. Some even two toned. I felt like I was in South Beach Miami with the atmosphere they brought to the restaurant.
I find Watch spotting fun in the city. I get to see the demographics of these watches.
Christian has all the money and the fame and he’s super smart, but Michael makes these videos. He’s just such an adorable and cute kid and he makes expressive and funny faces.
Thank god Mike is back!!!
have to say, that was one of your videos, really enjoyed it!
Most people will have 2 or 3 watches and that’s all they need, if you’re buying a $200,000 car the chances are you’ll already have a couple of very nice watches that you chose because they suit your needs, personality and style, why pay $13,000 for someone else’s choice of watch.
I tried to get an allocation for a 911 at The Porsche Collection Dealer and they were forcing me to by the Porsche watch or no allocation . A total joke.
I love my two... BOTH not overrated. CWC G10.... and IWC Mark 16....beauties
New set is shit, happy Michael back, all different and better vibe
The reason Michael has been away, is that he's been doing a carpentry course, and his first effort is the new set. I think he's done very well. This is why Theo & Harris are the best. They personally attend to every detail.
Really good video. Watching this felt like hanging out with both of you.
Fun episode, chilling and talking watches
Dang lots of updates. Keep it up!
These guys are getting great at this
I love watching you guys be frank and honest. Another great episode. And I agree that Longines is a very curious brand in their approach.
Welcome to see an engaged co-host again
Guys, I love your content and watch all your vids, but I’m sorry to say the new setup feels like a step down. I’ll still watch either way, but genuinely miss the old look.
The Speedy is the single one most overhyped watch in history.
Hellooo,Stanley Kubrick. 🚀
Longines are massive in Asia but only have medium popularity in the west. Their watches also tend to skew towards the dress end, which is less popular in the west than it is in the east. The other issue is that they have too many lower end offerings, including quartz watches, that dampen the overall impression.
Their best watches = a lot of watch for your money though (e.g. Zulu Time, Big Eye etc.), and their dress watches are arguably second to none in their respective price ranges.
Speedmaster is not overhyped. It is the Icon.
It's also a royal pain in the ass to wind compared to most watches. I'm with T&H on this one, frankly. I've had about 6 Speedies over the years and they never last long.
You guys should pivot to just a general pop culture history podcast.
I agree with you about Longines. I have a vintage hand wound watch by them and a Avigation big eye and they are the two watches in my collection I would never sell.
glad to see harris again
Agree with Christian that Longines’ is a better brand than Tudor!!! I own only one longines and six tudors but prefer longines as a brand
Fun (and interesting) discussion
The Daytona Panda is overhyped, not the Speed master. If the speed master was overhyped, you would have to get on a high and mighty list to get one or pay 3x list.
The new set looks great guys!!
Are you telling me you guys aren't called Theo and Harris?! Surely not
PRX chrono is damn near perfect imo. Got the Panda and I paid 1500 euros for it right when it came out.
I should have bought the chrono.
@@jonathanwright8802 probably still should. You can get them for a lot less than retail in some places used.
outstanding story and story telling...sincere thank you for sharing your family's story
Excellent and fun as always.
This was great. Yes, you two have great chemistry. I think the new guy just needs more time to adjust and get comfortable.
I think we all live for the 16:41 moment xDDDD
I hate to say it, but you guys are chasing clicks with this one. Case, point, and example; Mar. 29, 2023: "Tudor's New Releases Are Dominating." Now, you say they're overhyped, yet YOU were the ones fueling that fire. "Lucy, you've got some 'splaning to dooooo!" I love you guys, but this is tripe. 🙃
Gianni Agnelli was insane, he really influenced modern fashion. Great watch lover as well, he used to wear them over shirt sleeves ahahah, wild.
would love to see a show(s) about the best microbrands. Thinking of getting the Charlie Paris GMT but dont really know the rest of the "Field" well ... Thanks boys for what is always a fun listen :)
Christian not showing enough chest hair 👎
Michael: How do I increase my value to T&H?
T&H: We’re announcing new podcast members…
You compared the PRX($725) to the Charlie Concordia GMT($1,425) Its double the price not in the same range.
good thing you got rid of mr. yes man from the previos episode.
Your cousin has a huge huge huge net net worth. It doesn’t matter that he’s 60 it matters that he’s got millions and millions of dollars so he can wear whatever he wants. God bless him.
Speedmaster is easily number one
Moon watch not overhyped boys. You can get one second hand for under 5k. Including the latest Gen.
Who the hell is Theo and Harris I’ve always wanted to ask
Love the content guys!
Michael Bro, so good to have you back.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Mikey‘s Hair Sittin tight again. Welcome back !
Love the new set. Is it true that Michael's been away on a carpentry course? Can I suggest for the next refresh of the set, that Christian goes to Italy and makes something out of marble?
The PRX is so sweet because it feels MAGNIFICENT on the wrist, and looks cool in stainless steel or gold color...
Interesting to note that just as Gianni Agnelli did,Karl Lagerfeld adopted the "watch worn over the dress shirt cuff" style...a nos to the "Spezzatura" vibe of Agnelli
The PRX is a better watch than you would expect on a sub $800.00 timepiece.. The ETA 2824 movement is running at +0 seconds for the month.. It’s so slim and light you forget it’s on your wrist.. Only negative for me is the butterfly clasp.. I hope you evaluate it on your wrist and let me know your thoughts..
Keep Michael on. We don’t want to see guests
Not sure about this setup. Glad to see Michael back/in front of the camera. I assume your numbers are stagnating or this is simply an attempt to keep it fresh and push your numbers further. Good to keep pushing but not sure if this is it.
