12:12 Dress vs. Sports style: Mike, I don't get your distinction between the "old" [read: meh; dull, stodgy] and "new/re-emerging" dress watch, in the following ways: 1. TECHNOLOGY: no, I don't mean the quartz/solar/digital rabbit hole. I do mean advances in horology instrumtation. Maybe my distinction is a matter of where on the spectrum we point our beams, but I'd bet my donuts to your guilders that the instruments today's master horologists' tools radically differ from their predecessors'. I'm talking LAZERS vr ANVELS in the craft phase. I'm thinking laser cuts vs grinds in cases. Even gears can be crafted to minute specifications. Why gallouche, when all us middle-class Joe's and Garrit, every Florence or Floris, can get lume beyond patrician Jonkers' imagination. 2. As you've rightly said in other vids, any- & everybody has a phone with time accuracy beyond prior generations' capacity. 3. 12:54 "Youthful take on classic..." youth??? You can't mean "youthful"!!!... Today's youth wear black teeshirts embossed by skelital shapes, pierce ther tongues, and wear bottoms that either expose their, er, bottom...or have slacks so skin-tight as to put strippers of yesteryear to blushing... ergo... 4. [Broken-record Dpt:] why only blacks & whites, when can be offered the literal 50 shades of Grey, 500 shades of pinkaquamarinepurplehaze??? ... not to mention imaginary watermelon colored dials, replete with seeds. Apologies to droning ononon.
@@Mike.thiswatchthatwatchha ha, I own one myself and immediately recognized that back when I started watching months ago 😊. Really enjoy your thoughtful commentary 👍 Cheers.
A man talking passionate about watches with an impressive range of technical and industry knowledge. I really love this channel. It’s like listening to a good friend about a shared passion. 😎
Easily the smartest watch channel on UA-cam. No pretension, no condescension, no arrogance. Just delightfully well-reasoned, and extraordinarily articulate discussion of all sorts of watch-related stuff. Can't get enough. Thank you.
Took my grandfather's 1951 IWC for a service, it hasn't ever been serviced. The watch maker didn't want to service it, because it was running 100 % after he checked its timekeeping accuracy .
I joined the channel a couple of weeks ago. I greatly enjoy and appreciate the thoughtful and fair minded critiques of watches, brands and the industry as a whole.
My favorite of your videos.... feels like a conversation over a beer or iced tea. I like off the cuff takes... allows for contemplation and encourages opinion.
Thank you for answering my question . You are my favourite watch reviewer . Honest no nonsense advice and reviews. I told my watchmaker what you said… well I actually played your comments he smiled said spot on and surprise he is also a subscriber of yours !
Congrats on the 50k! Your stream of consciousness part is my favorite part of your videos. I put them on in the background and don’t usually watch the b-roll.
Wow, a reference to Chris Reeve Knives. I have a custom macassar Sebenza 31 on order for about 2 or 3 years now, expecting it in maybe another 2 or 3 years. Recently received my Green Beret 7" serrated which I ordered at the same time. I had a ladder damascus bog oak Mnandi, but I can't find it anywhere. I think I may have lost it when I moved my mother to a nursing home. I loved that knife. So elegant.
I have loved mechanical watches since I was a little boy in a working town, playing with my first Timex watch. More than sixty years has passed but that fascination continues. This channel gives me great joy to watch and Mike's knowledge is remarkable and helpful to me to understand watches and to help me understand what I like and need from a watch. Thank you for your effort and in some ways, as others have said, we sit together each video over a cup of coffee and muse together about this wonderful craft. Thank you for providing joy and grace during the Winter of my life.
My sincerest congratulations on reaching 55k, this is beyond well-deserved. Now that that’s out of the way, here comes the heresy. When discussing the future of the watch industry twenty minutes in, it sounded to me more like a representation of the watch industry from the past. A mid-60s vintage 4-digit Rolex 5512 has all of the attributes mentioned and delivered them at an affordable price to boot. I sincerely hope that you’re right and that the we are indeed headed back in this direction. I look forward to a time when watches are again just hitting their stride after a sixtieth birthday. Just like those enthusiasts that still cover and wear them.
I've heard a watchmaker say that the materials they're using today are selected with easy machining in mind rather than longevity, and as a result of those softer materials, new movements don't have the longevity potential that old movements had. That's probably why that old watchmaker said new movements are junk.
What you do is... outstanding! Sharing information on so many levels, in a open minded fashion! Thanks and congratulations Mike. I noticed your nice Iron Heart shirt a while ago, i am wearing this Japan Made stuff (Lofgren, At Last, Flathead…) myself. In my opinion: Quality last's longer and costs less in the long run, then weekly changing trends. Maybe thats a age thing.
Thank you for another great video and happy SQUALE made the cut this time as an affordable tool watch. I bought a 1521 a year + ago and it quickly became my daily despite owning 10+ watches that a way more expensive (yes including an Omega Diver 300 TND). Keep up with your great content, always a pleasure
It’s like you’re reading my mind on most points but you convey explanations and ideas on another level. On ‘are modern watches junk’ I suspect the watchmaker is referring to materials, such as the increased use of silicon, but your answer about serviceability still covers it.
Absolutely love your channel. Yesterday I finished going through the back catalog of every video you've done. Truly the most insightful watch content I've seen. Huge congratulations on 50k subscribers!! 🎉 I have no doubt I'll be here for when your tremendous channel reaches a million!
You are very good communicator, thoughtful and have paid attention over the years. Vintage authentic well done. Listen up People. Real Deal. Congratulation on 50k, you do the work and deliver. Thank you
Here is the scoop on servicing. If you’ve purchased your watch within the last 15 years you do Not need to service at any set intervals especially if the watch is not worn everyday and is part of a larger rotation. Newer watches use synthetic oils that do not gunk up, degrade, or evaporate like older mineral oils. Periodically check them on a timegrapher and if the amplitude is between 230-315, small beat error, not running too fast or too slow then there is absolutely No reason to submit the watch to an intervention that may ultimately introduce issues that were not originally there.
There are a lot of great watch UA-camrs with different formats that all belong and add value but in my opinion you are the best in the game at what you do
I’m glad you referenced the sound Omega 8900 movement. That’s in my globemaster. I’ve read elsewhere what a solid movement it is. Twin barrel metas accreditation, love that watch.
I have helped other watch enthusiasts build a watch collection. My suggestions are to have a high end watch that meets your life style. For me that’s a Tudor BB and a Rolex Explorer II. Consider a vintage watch, for me it’s all about Seikos, I have some 70s Seiko Lord Marvel, Lord Matic, King Seiko, and Grand Seiko. I love pairing these with interesting watch bands and these vintage pieces allow me to play with various watch bands. Finally have something that you can wear everyday that is accurate, has a GMT function maybe and that holds a good condition for a long time. For me that’s a Traska Venturer II as it will look the same as the day you bought it 2, 3 or 5 years due the road. I’ve had to adjust mine as it ran a bit fast but it’s sub €1k and something I can work on myself.
Awesome content as always… I’ve got so fed up with watch UA-camrs the past few months and you still remain the only one I watch religiously… just the best, nough said…
No wonder you got to 50K, your channel is awesome (if it weren't for your fixation with Tee-udor and CW 🤣)! It is one of the very few sources of genuine discussion on watches and I find myself watching your videos more and more, no matter if I agree or not with you. Here's to a 100K!
Thanks. I'm not that fixated on the two brands - I'm just mindful that I'm speaking to a big audience and when using examples and references it's best to mention something that a lot of people can relate to. People know Tudor, Omega, CW (to some extent) and Rolex. Me referencing some obscure microbrand might help the microbrand but it doesn't conjur a relatable picture in the audiences head. That's why they get mentioned 😊😊
Listening from wise man from wise words are pleasure for me, Thanks for your time and effort.

Sir, thank you for the information. Your Watch Town is growing and you have happy citizens. I enjoy your travels to the luxury stores and to the more affordable but great stores. The best part for me is the breadth and depth of your learning regarding business and the watches. Enjoy your milestone and look forward to many more.
Great episode . Many thanks . I felt so happy that you appreciate the Cerina : Certina Aqua DS PH1000. Turquoise. I purchesed few hours before your broadcast. Wow🎉 With huge appreciation Nizar
These videos are great! Not even done watching, but had to come and comment the love for the Chris Reeve reference. Also that you chose to show the Umnumzaan, that blade sells out in minutes, if not seconds when it becomes available. Happens to be a favorite in my collection too. Keep up the great videos, definitely enjoy them.
Cool topics. Some Q&As are predictable, this one wasn't. Great job. Oh as a sidenote, used the Tudor FXD in Carbon for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it! Really glad I got it (although it does look a little like a kid's toy at times)
11:11 For a second, I thought we were gonna start discussing competing theories of labour value -"On the one hand, Marx felt... but for Ricardo..." Smart remarks aside, great video as always, sir!
My Rolex AD told me that I should not have my watches serviced unless there is something wrong. She told me that there is a small risk that there will be dust getting into the movement every time the case is opened. So as long as it is running fine everything is fine.
Here is what you need to know about serving. If you’ve purchased your watch within the last 15 years you do Not need to service at any set intervals especially if the watch is not worn everyday and is part of a larger rotation.

Great content, delivered with knowledge and enthusiasm in an elequant way. Refreshing and engaging! I owned and loved my Omega Seamaster 300m NTTD but eventually sold it as I found it impossible to read the time in low light conditions, such as sitting in my lounge! However, aesthetically, I still miss the watch.
Good to hear your stance about winders, as a watchmaker since 2011 and in Rolex sales since 2018. I must say that a watch winder is good for the watch the most anoying myth. Almost on a daily basis do I have to debunk it. On second place comes Rolex are not good, only marketing and third, Tudor is just as good as Rolex just cheaper. Btw love your channel, you know what you are talking about. Greetings from Sweden!
One watch for the rest of my life: that’s a tough one One watch channel for the rest of my life: This Watch, That Watch No clickbait, no nonsense, just thoughtful, knowledgeable and passionate discourse on watches past, present and future. Well-deserved on 50k subs, the sky’s the limit! I recognised the GS GMT as the SBGM221, if you’re looking for a 5Hz hi-beat movement I can recommend the SBGJ201 Mount Iwate that I’ve owned for a year. The 44GS case really brings out the best of the zaratsu polishing.
Great Q&A video once again. Liked your definition of value. Better saying your comment on value. I think you addressed it very nicely and it is in the end of the day in the eye of the beholder. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations, and thanks for answering my question! Love hearing your thoughts, even when I disagree here and there. Love that Yachtie, by the way! I do also love the silver and blue Platinum bezel ones, and suspect they aren't as popular because of the considerable price hike over the Sub with less functionality.
Congrats on the 50k subs; I enjoy your content and analysis. I whole heartedly agree with your assessment of the Yachtmaster in Everose of the Oysterflex. About a year and a half ago during a televised yacht race, I saw that Yachtmaster in the Rolex commercial, and thought, "I'd love to get one of those", since i had a planned trip to Switzerland the next year. Well my watch collection at that time was close to 20 years old, and I hadn't been following the pandemic and post pandemic Rolex hype, (thank God), but needless to say, that Yachtmaster remains a, "I'd love to have one of those" acquisitions. Congrats on yours.
This is by far my favourite Watch Channel, congratulations on your 55K subscribers. I have been watching your content for a year now when your "No Time To Die" review popped up in my feed and I subscribed a couple of videos after that. I enjoyed the Chris Reeves analogy ( I am fortunate enough to own an Umnumzaan and an Inkosi.) Keep up the great work and I look forward to the next episode.
Hands down the best watch channel on UA-cam right now.
Agreed 100% - there is no other channel like it.
I look forward to Saturday mornings with a cup of coffee and a new video.
Spot on
You meant watch hands at 6 o'clock? xD
I agree. unique and enlightening.
No gimmicks, no over the top clickbait opinions. Just knowledge, enthusiasm and skilled production. This channel is superb 👌🏻
Hopefully he doesn’t start shilling Artem straps

Lololo.....
Comment made with a certain degree of satire also.
Wearing a Belstaff tee, sitting on a Hans Wegner Wing chair, wearing a non-ubiquitous reference Rolex…. This man knows style. 😎
Not a lot of people catch the chair 😊😊😊
Easily my favourite Rolex and love the chair but went with the more conservative Eames. I bet there’s a vinyl collection just out of shot.

I love your insightful content presented in a calm manner. Thank you!
I have quickly grown to love this channel. Well done
Awesome, thank you 😊
Love the countdown since the last watch purchase LOL
Great content Mike! Love your channel!
Nice chair. Love the Dr. Evil vibe.
Kidding aside, Exceptional content.
Lol 😂😂
Good to hear your stance about winders, as a watchmaker since 2011 and in Rolex sales since 2018. I must say that a watch winder is good for the watch the most anoying myth. Almost on a daily basis do I have to debunk it. On second place comes Rolex are not good, only marketing and third, Tudor is just as good as Rolex just cheaper. Btw love your channel, you know what you are talking about. Greetings from Sweden!
Mike, the goat! Thankful for your videos every weekend. Always looking forward to listen to your thoughtful discussions.
One watch for the rest of my life: that’s a tough one
One watch channel for the rest of my life:
This Watch, That Watch
No clickbait, no nonsense, just thoughtful, knowledgeable and passionate discourse on watches past, present and future. Well-deserved on 50k subs, the sky’s the limit!
I recognised the GS GMT as the SBGM221, if you’re looking for a 5Hz hi-beat movement I can recommend the SBGJ201 Mount Iwate that I’ve owned for a year. The 44GS case really brings out the best of the zaratsu polishing.
Lol - So very kind of you. It's really appreciated, thanks 😊😊
Your channel and opinions are honest and knowledgeable. Good job! All best from Mexico City!
Thanks a ton. Cheers 😊
Great Q&A video once again. Liked your definition of value. Better saying your comment on value. I think you addressed it very nicely and it is in the end of the day in the eye of the beholder. Keep up the good work.
Mike. This is fantastic content. Appreciate the effort you put in. Thank you.
Congratulations, and thanks for answering my question! Love hearing your thoughts, even when I disagree here and there. Love that Yachtie, by the way! I do also love the silver and blue Platinum bezel ones, and suspect they aren't as popular because of the considerable price hike over the Sub with less functionality.
I just got a 417ES "Moby Dick" so I'm glad to hear that Hanhart's on your radar, too. Great video as always!
It's a fabulous watch. Excellent quality. Excellent value. Thin. Column wheel. So many good things to say about it 🙂
Congrats on the 50k subs; I enjoy your content and analysis. I whole heartedly agree with your assessment of the Yachtmaster in Everose of the Oysterflex. About a year and a half ago during a televised yacht race, I saw that Yachtmaster in the Rolex commercial, and thought, "I'd love to get one of those", since i had a planned trip to Switzerland the next year. Well my watch collection at that time was close to 20 years old, and I hadn't been following the pandemic and post pandemic Rolex hype, (thank God), but needless to say, that Yachtmaster remains a, "I'd love to have one of those" acquisitions. Congrats on yours.
Most relaxing q&a ever
the only watch channel that talks about why watches. Godsend.
Lol 😂
This is by far my favourite Watch Channel, congratulations on your 55K subscribers. I have been watching your content for a year now when your "No Time To Die" review popped up in my feed and I subscribed a couple of videos after that. I enjoyed the Chris Reeves analogy ( I am fortunate enough to own an Umnumzaan and an Inkosi.) Keep up the great work and I look forward to the next episode.
Will do my best and thanks for keeping on coming back 😊😊
Good stuff. Love your views & honest approach.
Keep it up.👍
Certina is an under rated brand. I've got a DS Podium for 10 years now, it still mesmerise me when I look at it.
