    I've watched UA-cam channels based around watches for well over 10 years and this is one of the most dynamic videos point blank period. I'm prior service and an author of a small UA-cam channel, so there's a number of elements that caused a series of emotions during this video.
    I've watched a number of your videos up to this point and this one ranks #1. You are very well spoken, passionate about horology, a cool dad and display a vibe that makes absorbing horological content worth while.
    I salute you for serving, and I appreciate the image you uphold on social media. Many blessings to you, you're family and your unit!

      You have no idea how much this comment means to me. As you know making video can be both an intimidating and lonely world where your not always sure if your doing a good job or not.
      Your comment is the kind I will go back to over and over again when I get discouraged along this journey. Thank you so much and it truly means the world to me.
      God bless you,
      Tyree 🫡🙌🏾

    I really appreciate your content and approach when discussing watches. Your sincere and historical prospective on watches is very refreshing and goes beyond just talking about the specs. of a watch. I'm wishing you the best on your UA-cam journey and I know you'll be very successful!

    To even be offered a custom Tudor Ranger is an impressive feat! I respect your decision for allowing another soldier to take your place, I'm sure he was grateful. You should definitely not pass any future opportunity to own one. I'm in the Air Force and I picked up a steel Marathon Navigator with the AF symbol on the dial this year. The original Navigator was produced at the request of the USAF in 1986 for pilots at Kelly Field in San Antonio. Considering I was born that year and I'm currently stationed in San Antonio, it has a bit of a connection to my life. That's about as close as I'll ever get to owning any custom mil-spec watch lol

    • @WristUnwound
      @WristUnwound  Місяць тому

      That’s a great piece of history you have there, a watch that connects with your life story is pretty special. Also I hear San Antonio is a pretty awesome place to be stationed

    Thank you for sharing. Tudor has an amazing lineage and has been a part of military culture for many years. We also had problems trying to customize a Tudor. I absolutely understand though. With watches of espionage raising awareness of unit watches they are receiving a lot of requests. We ended up going with Breitling who were very accommodating allowing both dial and caseback customization as well as flexibility in the model we selected. For a more inexpensive model look at stirling watch company. Started by British Para they are military watches and stirling is more than willing to customize dial and case back. We did a stirling run and they are solid!

    You’re a rather impressive young man with a very eloquent and sincere way of expressing yourself and I like that . Seems like you have a great balance in your family life too ,so having a great hobby like this will only serve as a cement - my wife and both ,by now grown up daughters,are watch lovers and all three have small collections of their own ,which undoubtedly is the result of my “annoying habit “😂 .

      I'm hoping to get my youngest more involved soon but as a 3 year old she doesn't follow a script very well XD

    As a retired NCO, that was a good thing you did for the Sargent in your unit, Sir.
    I hope you eventually get the watch with the customization that brings you joy.
    Also, I thought I was the only one that did multiple watch swaps per day. Life was easier when I only had one watch... but not as much fun.😊

      So I’m currently working on getting the S2 since the website is sold out, but Tudor also has responded to some messages from other rangers and there is a chance the custom dial will be coming soon so I might get one of those instead or as well. Just depends on the cost 💲

    This is a wonderful video, I enjoy your discussion about the Ranger regiment more than the watch.
    British SAS and SBS have a history with Omega Seamaster. Marine Nationale has ties with Tudor Pelagos. Navy Seals wear Rolex. Rangers deserve a more capable watch to represent them than Tudor's second tier offering because you lead the way 💪

    • @WristUnwound
      @WristUnwound  Місяць тому +1

      I think you have to also look at the age and rank of our members. We are typically younger and lower ranks so to expect a young ranger to couch up Rolex money is a tough sell especially when they aren’t watch nerds like us
