    Great Q/A Tony. My other hobby is high end audio. I take heavy loses when I upgrade different components in the system. I treat it like a lease. The upgrade is to get better sound. To me the money does not come into it. It’s the enjoyment of the watch/ audio. Then it’s time to upgrade. It’s all part of the hobby. The history of the watches/ audio I have owned is a my journey. It’s interesting to meet people who have these hobbies and see their history. It Would be dame boring if everyone liked the same watch / audio brand. Thanks.

    Happy Friday Tony! I am am rockin my Milgauss black dial green crystal today. Great video as always. I love that you are wearing your Vacheron. I remember my Movado was my first "Luxury watch". Awesome that you still have yours; If you happen to have it lying around one of these days give it a quick show on the Q&A I would love to see it.

    Thank you for giving an honest review of the Daytona’s legibility. I had a similar experience with the Tudor Panda. Initially loved the watch but after 4mos not being able to easily tell the time became a dealbreaker. Wound up selling it at 35% loss.

    Tony thanks for answering my question regarding Jaegar LeCoultre.😊That’s the model I’m planning in buying. I’ve seen on grey market for $3k less than msrp unworn. You did great job with graphics showing both dials. Another very good Q&A Friday. Makes no sense to me wearing a watch but can’t tell the time easily. I agree with you regarding Rolex Chronographs.

    Thanks Tony - I'm wearing a SRPK41 - it's Seiko mechanical day date white faced pilot/field watch with comfortable bracelet. As for pocket watches...I just bought one for a friend - it was his 60th birthday and I figured that he could display it on his desk. It came from Guinand and has a black dial and display back. I think that it's really cool - he should get it Monday...we'll see if he likes it.

    I used to only think of my Omega as a luxury watch, but the more I think about it I think any watch you have the good fortune to buy and wear and enjoy is the true definition of luxury. Any thoughts on this? Sometimes I feel like the luckiest man alive when I take stock and look at the life I get to live, and wearing a Hamilton feels like real luxury through that lens. Makes me appreciate what I have the way it should be appreciated.

    Hello Tony, love the channel.
    Question: I recently purchased a brand new 'old stock' Tudor Grantour 20340W (2009/2010) from my local AD. I scoured the internet but could barely find anything about the watch itself, but I posted a thread on Reddit in case you wanted to take a look - just search the name!
    The AD told me that this specific model was produced primarily for the Middle East and Asia markets. My guess is they barely sold any as I've not been able to find a single model that's identical to the one I got. I found some with leather straps, but none with the stainless steel bracelet.
    What do you think of this watch? I feel like the watch is rare enough to one day be a collectible item, and I got it as a full set, brand new, with stickers, original box, and papers.
    I know it's odd looking, but I am curious, if you were in my position, what would you do? Would you wear the watch, or keep it tucked away as a safe queen?
    Thanks Tony!

    Small seconds are cool unless it integrates with the dial badly (like so many sub dials do) IMO.
    A minute repeater pocket watch would be way cool.
    I bought a cool Citizen stopwatch to scratch the pocket watch itch lol.
    Kind of a question.... Do you think a digital minute repeater would be fun?
    Maybe it exists?
    Weird if it doesn't, but then again we all turned off the hourly chime on our Casios back in the day, but now get real excited about it in a mechanical lol!

      Maybe an animation like on a Ulysse Nardin I saw recently.
      One of the cool things about a minute repeater is that the chimes are activated by powering up its own spring via a slider or long push button.

      @user-bf1wg7jo9v crazy. Longines was a powerhouse back then.. and now they are fighting for Tudor equivalency. Back then, they were rolex's equal. Crazy thing is... Rolex can fall, too. Strong brands fizzle. Gamestop, AMC, Enron.. we love rolex today. In 5-10 years.. they could become Longines. I'm already starting to feel as if it really isn't a special brand. It's the Toyota of the Luxury watch brands.. assembly line watches, making 1MM per year (so you see them everywhere), not special. Meanwhile, Patek Vacheron AP are hand made. Rare. Special. Rolex is only branding. Solid. But not true luxury.

      @@geno816 Well, Longines is pigeonholed under the Swatch Group so they are naturally staying behind Omega, GO, Breguet, etc. If Longines managed to preserve with the quartz crisis and had proper management, personally think they would be competing in a different category. However, it’s kinda of blessing that they are under Swatch especially since they can use ETA movements and proprietary features (ie silicone materials). Also, I’m glad that Longines is in that $2k-$5k price range right now lol.
