Your soul has good taste when it comes to choosing a watch. I have been drooling over the Grand Fonds 300M for a while now, thanks to your video with blacked out version (awesome trailer on that one btw).
Great review. I just bought the ZRC GF 300 and I love it. I have owned many watches, Oris, Seiko, Tissot, Hamilton and this is hands down my favorite. I was reluctant at first on the ZRC but after trying it on I was hooked. It is unique, the build quality is fantastic and it is very comfortable. Photos and videos do not do it justice, see it in person and try it on!
5km!?That's nearly 3 miles 🤯.. Incredible!!! Can see why you got it - looks cool too. Crown is quirky, love the lume! Superb stuff as usual, love that you do unusual watches. Off to design a watch now. Cheers mate 👍🏻👍🏻 Should've had a milanese option 😉
I know right? That depth rating? 5k's? I can't fathom it... (pun intended). But seriously - that's an insane amount of pressure. I'd love to see a model of the watch that'd show us how it looks if it were cut across the middle. That crystal must be so damn thick...
This is a fantastic channel! Thanks for covering brands such as ZRC, Certina and many more that don't get love from most other watch channels. Keep it up!
I just tried on this watch. Very cool! It wears much smaller than the dimensions would suggest. My daily is an Aquis Calibre 400 (43.5mm) and this ZRC feels smaller. The crown is very hard to operate. The bezel action is not that good considering the price. Overall a lovely watch that I put on my list.
Fantastic watch, and even more Fantastic video, !! Very funny,, even I, recognised that Alan,,, Keep up the great videos,,, wish I had your drawing skills... All the best, my friend,,,,,
I always liked the Grand Fonds 300m but never took the time to try one. This 3000 takes it to the next level! And the new 300m releases look sweet! Definitely going to check them out in the metal now!
Very detailed first impression and a great idea with the sketch. I am starting to like more and more your original content. Although I watch many of your videos, today I have subscribed.
Cool, fun watch! Thought I saw all there was to be seen in terms of watch design, but this one's different. Enjoy it! And thank you for the cinematic review 🙏
I actually kinda like the crown at the 6 o'clock location. It's different and sometimes that's good, especially with the way they have it set up so that crown is protected. I've only seen one other watch like this and it's through Albini Prassa as well: I belive it was a Urwerk. After watching your review of the Heritage Navigator I decided to get it. I wi have to put money away to do so, but I love it. This would most likely be the next one lol. Love your channel! Hope you always keep reviewing the coolest of watches!!
Thanks for spotlighting ZRC in two videos. While I have and enjoy a Submariner Date, the ZRC watches seem more interesting. The greatest difficulty now is choosing the reference. The bronze is beautiful bit maybe not the best metal for a watch (I question that statement). The DLC’s are badass. The titanium are awesome but probably too large for my 7 inch wrist (I generally wear 38-41mm watches). In any case, thanks again for the great videos.
If I would nitpick about something is the font (type) difference between the bezel and the dial. I think it would've been great to have the same dial font on the bezel, if not a bit bolder to improve legibility.
I own the ZRC Grands Fonds "Choco", the brown version with slimmer handset. Gorgeous watch but the bracelet is a total nightmare to get on and off. I've put it on a cloth strap.
Wow👌👌some acquisition this. This piece has been haunting me ever since I came across it. Whole lotta good taste. I wouldn’t be surprised if I see you reviewing a BB P01 soon. Enjoy your Fonds 3k, buddy!
I don t mind your longer videos :) lovely watch. I m a bit annoyed that even if I add up all my divers depth ratting won’t get even near the half of your ZRC … :) loved the baby burping exercise and the coffee sipping. I had no idea though how that Alan is …
ahahaha, good one! that Alan is one of the most famous soccer players, Alan Shearer. he played most of its career at Newcastle united. As for the depth rating, yes, but you have the finest Seiko's diver ever made :D
To answer the issue at the beginning of the video, never Rolex. I would pick Omega any day, with my eyes closed. This one though, I feel it’s trying to be multiple things at once. Not convinced on the lume constellation model, and the watch thickness. Maybe if I go to the store and try it on, to see how it all blends together.
Hi, I am pretty sure, If you mail albini prassa for purchase, www.albiniprassa.com/collections/zrc They will send you the watch insured and as It should be. I know them personally!
Man, this watch brand really taught me something about myself. It was an interesting watch I neither loved or hated. Until I read their history... Seems like history is one of the most defining criterias for me. The more I learned, the more I liked! Great purchase Andrei, you'll be a favourite at your next RedBar! Certainly an enthusiasts watch. Man, that no date spirit model is looking pretty good. Look forward to getting into the re-design. (btw- what is it with you and Peli cases? Will we have to re-design every watch that comes in one?? 🙂) ɢʀᴇᴀᴛ upload man, as usual. Congrats on the new purchase.
Ahahah, good one! Indeed this one comes on a Peli case, the next review is also on a pelican case style :D has to do with my background I guess. Anyway, true, I am here with you, for me the history behind of a product matters! And yes, I will review as Spirit as well, great piece.
Amazing video brother, you keep killing it! Your broll and charisma is getting better and better!
:D Thanks M!!

What a beast!
Heritage, looks, fun and luxury, it has it all...
Congrats on the fabulous purchase!👍
Thank you Marvin! :) A beast, A hidden gem!

Awesome watch. I saw this and some other ZRCs on a recent trip to France. I popped for the tangerine. So far I really love the brand

Should've had a milanese option 😉
3 miles, yes :) Thanks and I can't wait to see how the reissue will turn out !
I know right? That depth rating? 5k's? I can't fathom it... (pun intended).
But seriously - that's an insane amount of pressure.

Very interesting and functional watch
Great watch. Great information. Fantastic video.
Great video... another great watch ❤️
Thank you 🤗

Another great video. The watch is awesome. Love the blue version you have. The dial is stunning as is the hand set. Very cool indeed 👍
Cool watch.
I see “Grands Fonds” but in my mind it reads “PALM FRONDS.”
Ha!
Palm fronds!
...exactly what I think of when I picture a masculine but gentlemanly dress/tool watch hybrid! 😕
Cool watch

Now I'm in love with this watch. Unfortunately will never be able to afford one ☹️
Beautiful watch and video thank you....🤩

Brilliant video, brilliant watch! Well played sir. Love the crown placement, very original piece.
Glad you like it, a cool piece, indeed!
Incredible Diver. Enjoy

Congratulations on the beautiful watch! Wear it in good health
Thank you Brian, I appreciate it! :)
Love it, and nice video :-)
Is it not too big at the end? It does not look that huge when you wear it. Could you say what is your wrist size?
Wow👌👌some acquisition this. This piece has been haunting me ever since I came across it. Whole lotta good taste. I wouldn’t be surprised if I see you reviewing a BB P01 soon. Enjoy your Fonds 3k, buddy!
Thank you very much :) and yes, the P01 is on my radar for quite some time :D
@@BraveBeaters get a feel of one and put it on your wrist next time you’re near an AD😉that did it for me🤝💸

Coolest diver I’ve seen lately.
Nice video.
Thanks! yes, great piece! :)
Great review, as always. You are doing a mighty fine job for watch lovers :)
Thank you very much, I appreciate your words! :)
Dope review, big up from 🇨🇵
♥️ thanks!
Would you pick this watch over a SMP 300? That is the question ;)
Hi, well, normally you go with brand recognition, I had the Coaxial SMP, and I would still choose the Titanium ZRC
@@BraveBeaters this is a very bold statement sir :)
To answer the issue at the beginning of the video, never Rolex. I would pick Omega any day, with my eyes closed. This one though, I feel it’s trying to be multiple things at once. Not convinced on the lume constellation model, and the watch thickness. Maybe if I go to the store and try it on, to see how it all blends together.
7:11 is that a booger is the bezel?
Will there be any discounts or special events to purchase a GF3000
It depends I guess. You can look at chono24, I spotted some discounted pieces
@@BraveBeaters I picked up the GF50686 for $3750USD
Muy buenas tardes caballero .cual es el precio y donde lo puedo comprar muchas gracias saludos desde Costa Rica central America
Hi, I am pretty sure, If you mail albini prassa for purchase, www.albiniprassa.com/collections/zrc They will send you the watch insured and as It should be. I know them personally!
Oooooo I didn't even know this big brute existed. How many ZRC 300 can I get for one of these?
Man, this watch brand really taught me something about myself.
It was an interesting watch I neither loved or hated. Until I read their history...
Seems like history is one of the most defining criterias for me. The more I learned, the more I liked!
Great purchase Andrei, you'll be a favourite at your next RedBar! Certainly an enthusiasts watch.
Man, that no date spirit model is looking pretty good.
Look forward to getting into the re-design. (btw- what is it with you and Peli cases? Will we have to re-design every watch that comes in one?? 🙂)
ɢʀᴇᴀᴛ upload man, as usual.
Congrats on the new purchase.
Ahahah, good one! Indeed this one comes on a Peli case, the next review is also on a pelican case style :D has to do with my background I guess. Anyway, true, I am here with you, for me the history behind of a product matters! And yes, I will review as Spirit as well, great piece.
Lovely watch, unfortunately way, way, way overpriced, in Canada at least.
