Was a pleasure to be on! Disappointed in the audio I’ll do better next time;(
You're awesome:)
next time you should run your voice through auto tune
Don’t be silly! You captured the sound of bathroom tile perfectly 😂 It was great to have you on, thanks for joining us
Russ No need to be Such a Negative critic on Urself, To be Honest i did not Notice Ur voice 1st time around, Sure it just added to the Microphone on screen Effect..!
Let’s pray there isn’t a next time. Ever.
Awesome to see Lorier getting some love! Not only do they listen to customer feedback, their customer service is amazing. I had an issue with the Safari, I sent it in, and they took care it. They kept me up to date with progress emails and even called me to check in.
Absolutely spot on! I purchased a Hyperion second hand with the silver hands. I noticed the timing was about 15-18 seconds fast per day. I emailed lorier and spoke with Lauren who sent me a shipping label and promptly fixed the watch. They even removed a spot of dust under the crystal for me all free of charge under warranty while knowing I was not the original purchaser. Top notch company and people. I will soon have a falcon 3
@@Not-a-bot222 hmm.. good to know, Fair Play to them for doing the extra KNOWING You're not the original purchaser! .. I really like these Loriers, they look FANTASTIC, and knowing Lorier themselves are a 'decent' company really helps make my mind up.. I'm deffo getting one for the collection.
Love this video and it's concept. Glad to see Lorier getting some love, I have several of their pieces and they are all designed with great care by a wonderful couple. You're right in that they take customer feedback seriously and that's so rare these days. Their new Zephyr dress watch is stunning!
I love my Lorier Falcon II; it’s small, thin & light & it’s easily the most comfortable watch I own! The acrylic crystal gives it a look that can’t be duplicated by sapphire. I own better watches, but this one has a special place in my small collection. I love updates on the Falcon III, too.
I can attest to the certina, it does wear a bit big SOMETIMES, but you really won't regret it, either the "Classic" Hesalite and aluminum model, or the "Premium" sapphire and ceramic model will literally be a keeper for life, and it is so great to see Certina get some love
@telegranmemrsjennielle1 wrong channel Scammy.. lmao.
Great video! It's always nice to be introduced to new watch brands. It can get very boring seeing the same old stuff over and over again.
I just knew a spinal tap joke was coming in with the 11 atmos. Lol
I have the Sternglas and wanted the quartz so that it was slim and low maintenance. It's been excellent, and the customer service is great too.
This was a great vid, really good to have Russel with you 2. Love the look of the marloe. You didn't mention it but 2 of your picks had asymmetric cases, like Marathon and Omega .
That Marloe is a really unusual and good looking watch! And so affordable…I want one. The Xeric is another one that stands out here. I can’t choose between the CWC and the Hamilton equivalent though. Finally the Certina chosen here, is the first ever Certina that I actually like the look of! As for Rotary…they’re the UKs Timex. I remember as a kid seeing the brand in the windows of all the high street jewelers.
You chaps have outdone yourselves with this episode! 😁
Bravo on the collab! Awesome topic.
Glad to see the Mad Lad here! First youtuber I ran across starting my watch journey. Which to be honest.. was last week so there is that 🤣
Really enjoyed this. Brilliant guest appearance from Russell.
Russel has great taste and such a library of knowledge. Please have him back on (with better audio😉)
MaD to see this collab with probably my favourite watch people on youtube... Love to see you all come together! And the Marloe Watch Company indeed was not on my radar before, but it is now... That Sceptre really is a stunner! = )
Just pre-ordered a Lorier Neptune this week!
Sounds like Russell's calling in while on the throne.
Great Colab with TMWC! and thanks Tom for the Sternglas contribution, nice watch. my daughter has a friend in Hamburg and has visited her in the past, and she will probably go back, if she does, I will ask her to bring me one. Greetings from MX
What an excellent selection of time pieces! Really enjoyed that. The Sternglas was an eye catcher I thought
I liked the Lorier the best. Great to have Russell as a guest on the channel.
The lorier is just beautiful! I have the GMT Hyperion and it's a vintage GMT I can fly with and something I can take anywhere and everywhere..
Great guys. Excellent guest. Excellent selection of watches to present!
Great show & good too see the very cool MWC aka Russell taking part. A most enjoyable 26 minutes thanks for sharing. 🔥👏👍
Beautiful curation lads. All of them are stunners.
Lorier falcon is a beautiful watch. I owned one and sold it but I'm thinking about picking another one up because I miss it...
Really enjoyed this episode, and I thought Russel added a lot. Next, I would love for you all to stay up late at night and do a video with Jody from Just One More Watch. I honestly think you could have a really great time with him between basic homage discussions and a bit of back and forth on "clomages" given that he's more amenable to them than you guys are.
Another military & chronograph alternative… Pulsar Men's Analog Quartz Wrist Watch, PM3175X1. This is based on the Seiko (who own Pulsar) RAF Gen 2 Chrono - a quartz watch but only £70 brand new
A very mad watch collector my wife says 😂
Brilliant show, I have a Rotary commando from the 80s and still going well.
Gentlemen: Great episode. I learned about several very interesting watches and watchmakers that were previously unknown to me. Thank you.
Great video as usual!
Great episode. Did anyone mention that the 48 click bezel is bi-directional, so you don't need to go around if you miss one. Just go back.
I managed to buy the Sternglas Hamburg automatik for under £300. Absolutely love it.
What a great episode!
That was fun. Thanks guys
Great collab! Russel needs to review the Foster "Nigel Tufnel Signature Edition" ASAP.
I have a soft spot for Rotary because eight years ago when I was searching for a brand on Amazon with Swiss heritage that I could afford, but wasn't actually Swiss, I stumbled upon them. I purchased a quartz diver with a blue dial & wave like texture like an Omega Seamaster has today, a quartz Navitimer homage (blue dial & spinning fake tachymeter ring) that claimed 30m water resistance who's acrylic crystal would fog if there was any type of moisture in the air; and my first automatic, a skeletonized rose gold case, rose gold movement and black dial, it looks a lot like what Earnshaw does today and I would not be surprised if they're not using the same parts; I think made in Taiwan? I still have the Rose gold watch, the other two vanished. I had paid to service the loose rattling rotor midway through ownership and a year ago the roman numeral dial detached from the movement and spun inside the case while I was at the bar. I kept resetting my watch not knowing what had happened until morning. I do plan on attempting to fix it myself soon because I still love the look. Their head of design has a good eye. I don't know if their QC has improved in the last 8 years but I'm no longer willing to purchase one to find out; Perhaps one of you can ;) As is Invicta and Earnshaw, Rotary is NOT the same company it once was. They are revival brands that purchased the rights to use an established, defunct, name and reap the benefits of the heritage and popularity. That being said, you muat be some sort of enthusiast albeit maybe also deceptive businessman.
When my automatic rotary broke last year I immediately purchased a blue open heart Bambino to replace it the next day. For Christmas I gifted myself a Glycine Combat Sub, my first entry level Swiss automatic. The Glycine Combat Moonphase had sold out but reappeared shortly after new year so I grabbed that too. I was peeping a Certina Caimano whilst building a mini Casio collection and saw you guys talk about it on here, for the price of under $230 & an ETA 2824, I couldn't resist adding it in the box with the Sellitas and Epson movement. Yesterday a 1985 Nivada arrived from Cairo, it's my first vintage watch, mechanical, and the year I was born. At only 34mm I already adore it & love putting my ear to it listening to the ETA inside that's as old as me, tick away. Unlike the other revival brands, I like what I see with the revival of Nivada and maybe even Alpina, these companies aren't claiming or pretending to be the original companies either. I can't be mad at Invicta because they acquired Glycine to keep them going. Rotary got me to delve into this horological hobby and history deeper, I do remember reading years ago that Rotary supplied watches to the British military during WW2, there should be some stowed away and passed down, but I was born and raised in the Chicagoland area; I have yet to see any examples, why would I? Elgin National Watch Company was apparently the largest dedicated manufacturer of watches in the world for 100 years according to Wikipedia, defunct in 1968 but I can purchase one from Walmart new for $60? I doubt they're still made down the street from me in Elgin, Illinois.
Thank you guys for the time you take to bring bargain/affordable watch recommendations and opinions to our eyes and ears. I love discovering and learning new about new watches everyday. I'm curious to hear what you guys think of Revival brands.
Love the Certina dive watch!
Great Show lads, Russell is my No.1 Watch Guy.😎🙏🙏🙏
Love the mad watch collector. That Sternglas is a baby Nomos. Not bad
7:25 🤣🤣 that Spinal Tap joke 🤣
I have the Lorier Neptune IV and absolutely love it! Hesalite for the win!
There's a few Tissots I haven't heard of, surely. Maybe that would be a fun thing to explore for a video
Good on you for bringing TMWC along, he's a good dude.
ahh Cool.. Russ on Here!. Good to see Him doin' so well on here/Da-Tube tbh, good dude.
It’s always a pleasure to have Russel!
He’s such a lovely chap who’s able to infuse you with energy and passion and is always able to have a laugh and fun in what is often an overly serious hobby.
Right? That’s why he’s my favourite watch UA-camr. He just personifies the joy of watch collecting.
@@hibernopithecus7500 between Andrew on Talking Hands, Russ MWC and Garry on I.L.W I'm pretty much set, I still watch the others...but don't really get "involved" ../ these lot definitely suit Me better than the suit and tie wearing part of the scene tbh.
It would be helpful if you provided links to some of the watch companies you feature. The star wheel watch is from who? zurich ? or similar? I couldnt find them and google search didn't help. I'd love to look more at that, but no titles website or hints on the watch itself about the proper spelling of the brand name.
Russel is the Daddy - great having him on 👏👏👏👍
if you places the hands of that Hamilton in the 2:10 position and then looked at the dial from the direction of 8 towards the 2, it might look naughty
finally a video where Russell focuses on the watch review, without all that useless theatricality of his videos. 👍
rotary made some
really awesome watches. I owned two. Loved em both.
It was awesome having TMWC here!
That Marloe looks very appealing to me. Will definitely check them out.
I have the Marloe. It really is a very good watch with a beautifully clean look that belies its price. You won't regret getting one if you decide to take the plunge. Customer service is superb as well.
More of this please!
Love The Lorier. Very tempting 🤔
Lovely selection with a touch of class and humour as dry and my martini 😂
That's why I recognize the voice. Nice one MWC!
Great Collab!
I'd love to grab beers with Russel. Seems like a solid dude.
You guys are pretty funny. Makes a change from my recent binge watch, errr watching
nice, did tom give any prices?
Andrew and Tom, it’s not quite an affordable one but what are your thoughts on the Bohen Milli Mer?
Russell, what did the wife think of the CWC. FWIW, I have the Lorier Neptune on order, ships later this month or in March.
Love the crown and brand!
What about Traska?! Their new Venturer GMT is a thing of beauty; incredibly well made, super hardened steel, a travellers GMT movement, and well under $1k!
The Lorier is gorgeous.
Great show, mates! I like Rotary but I wish they would change the logo.
Cheers!
Rotary was sadly bought out by the CCP, it's no longer British owned.
I will have one of those CWC w10 in my collection
Thanks👍🏻
it would be better for viewers if you could list all watch reference numbers discussed in the description.
shoutout to my home town Hamburg! thanks to Tom
Good to see Lorier on here. Anyone else think Russel sounds like George from About Effing Time?
One of the brands you've talked about, Helson is producing quite interesting and good value for money watches, but this company website is just terrible, very much user unfriendly.
PS. As always very entertaining video.
The 11 atmos name is actually correct. Pressure at surface is 1 bar so at 100 metres absolute pressure is actually 11 bar (atmospheres).
Enjoyed this ménage a trois horloger! 👍👍👍
Love It !
Great video! You touched on brands and watches I haven't heard of. I would love to see move videos like this. Especially since I prefer watches that are out of the norm. It's really nice to have a nice watch. But it's really nice to have a nice watch that stands out and is uncommon. Especially if it's affordable.
Thanks guys.
Keep doing what you're doing.
Gents! Everett from Foster, here. Thank you so much for the kind words. As you guys implied at several points, we try not take ourselves too seriously. It seems like you get it. ❤️🙌
Massive fan of the CWC range, I think that they are incredibly underrated and overlooked! As yet, I don't own one, and they weren't issued to people of my rank during my service. Such a MASSIVE disappointment when you said that the Sternglas one is quartz! :(
There is a automatic Sternglas as well, but it's a bit more expensive
Just wanted to say how much I like the acoustics on this one. Much better than my bathroom.
that Xeric is good! just make it smaller please!
Any thoughts on Boldr watches?
that Marlou looks nice.
"Two subdials in a funny position..." Had to make room for that sprawling Hamilton logo :D
I do wish Rotary were more widely available in the USA. They make some very attractive watches.
Sadly, Rotary is now owned by the CCP, which doesn't bode well for its manufacturing integrity.
11atmos is actually 100m below sea level, since we already have 1bar at sea level. Then add 1bar(atmos) per every 10m. (So they’re just being precise)
I was about to buy this sternglas but then at the last moment bought mido baroncelli.
Great video peeps
Guys because the pressure at !0 meters is 2 atmosfears & increases by 1 atmosfear for every 10meters deeper after that , so by the time you reach 100 meters the pressure is 11 atmosfears . So every watch that is rated to 10 atmosfears is only rated to 90 meters not 100.
Nah that Neptune's been doing rounds my guy
Zeit = time; Messer = measurer ... but it's a timekeeper. Cheers! This was fun.
Love Lorier retro designs and don’t mind old tech, but acrylic glass is a hard no. Swap it for mineral crystal and I’d snap one up. I’ve spent too much time regularly buffing out scratches on vintage watches.
Xeric is very special and Russ is a genuine guy.
I m usually after microbrands and the occasional Japanese watch.maybe a steinhart and that's it.micro is the best and even God is waiting patiently for a Zelos.
Great collaboration! But I'm getting a tiny bit of divers watch fatigue.
I totally enjoyed all your perspectives on brands that I never knew about. Thank you.
I felt your opinions on watches from hearing from you both your channels plus+.
I guess I only have a toe in the tub.
Really good video.
Cheers
Whole bunch of unknown watches which I really want to know up close😊👌❤️👍🚨
What? Another micro from Oregon? And I like the bezel on it, too.
What about Ball and Deep Blue with their amazing tritium lumes?
Squale doesnt have tritium but is great
i like them all except that rotary watch and the second to the last one
i don't mean the rotary watch at the end i mean the one that has the fidget spinner
