I've been slightly obsessing over the Master Chronograph until I saw it in the store window. Nothing wrong with the watch, I just knew I had to walk away rather than walk in to try it on, otherwise I'd start finding away to buy a watch I simply cannot afford. It's a lovely piece
I’d say I definitely fit in the group of UA-camrs who are obsessed with Rolex, but I also know their place. When there AP, JLC and FPJ on the table, Rolex doesn’t have a leg to stand on. The Chronemotere Bleu really is an amazing piece. I got the same feeling of perfection as with a Patek calatrava. 👍🏻
@@BarkandJack Rolex always stands out You put a Rolex among Oris, Tissot, Tag Heuer, etc, it stands out You put a Rolex among ALS, Patek, JLC, etc, it also stands out - though in a completely different way
Always enlightening to hear your thoughts and see watches I generally wouldn’t get to see. I’d like to see your take on coffee sometime. I really enjoy coffee and would appreciate a view from someone who lives in London. You obviously have access to some great places for excellent, creamy, foamy, coffee.
Thank you for sharing your collection @EdinburghTimePieces and thank you Adrian for sharing this video. This is a very cool collection - the FP Journe is incredible, wow! :)
That JLC is beautiful. Shame it was a limited production run and sold out. Saw one in the flesh and it really is very underrated. Possibly a future classic?
Wow! Your friend does have an amazing collection of watches! Most of us could only dream of owning that many great timepieces. That Royal Oak really surprised me as I thought all were chunky and large like the one Stan the Tennis player wears! The F.P. Journe had a beautiful movement wow!!! The Rolex's Blue dial spot on loved it! Just a cool collection of watches thanks Bark and Jack for the fabulous video!
Amazing collection. If I even got near that JLC it would steal my eyes for hours. I have to say my favourite of the collection is the regular little OP with that amazing dial. Love these collection vids.
Thanks very much! I'm especially happy about the OP because I got it without the premium associated with the dial that watches like these usually command, so that was a nice touch
@@edinburghtimepieces1815 Do you still wear your JLC Master Chrono (from this video)? I have been dying for the Master Geographic from their sector dial limited collection and I finally got a chance to get one. I just wonder if you still enjoy it 4-5 years later.
So much wearable eye-candy that provides the service of telling time. Truly a fabulous collection. Adrian, thanks for spending time with this chap and sharing what many of us will rarely ever see in real life.
7:15 that is hot! nice collection. i would suggest only things missing are a pilot, so zenith or iwc, or patek travel time. could also bring in a daytona or speedy, and the collection is complete.
Thanks! I actually sold my Speedy and have my Daytona in storage at the moment. I really want an original IWC Mk 11, or a Heuer Bundeswehr, but right now I've got a moratorium on purchases.
Dear god this collection is so well done! Had a chance to handle that FP Journe in Boston a few weeks ago. Instant grail status. P.S. Adrian, maybe one day do a video about your favorite coffee shops in London. I’m sure a lot of us would be interested!
I feel like I understand the Royal Oak now at these proportions. Since I wear my watch on my left wrist and tilt my head to the left slightly when looking down...with the screw placement left of the 12 & right of the 6 and subtle arch of the bezel edges... to imagine such a watch on wrist. My friend, if someday ever comes. Great visiting your channel.
Fantastic episode! I actually Kind’ve dig how the lack of background music brought us into the narrative even more. The Journe CB is my ultimate dress watch grail. Thanks for sharing, this was great!
Being into smaller watches myself, I really appreciated this gentleman's collection, especially the smaller AP Royal Oak and the blue dial Rolex. What a striking dial! And of course, the F.P. Journe, but my financial analyst would have a cow if I made that kind of an expenditure, but it is tempting! Almost forgot, the JLC was also way cool.
That JLC was sweet, and that F.P Journe was amazing. The Rolie, is a surprise for me because I've never been a fan of the OPD, but lately and looking at this one I could see myself owning one someday. I'm kind of a sucker for cool dials.
Could you review the JLC sector dial that came out a few years ago. They still producing them? Don't see many online and I am thinking about buying one for my hubby. Watch collecting has kept us in love over the years. (not really....kind of)
Thank you for your like.You touched a chord with me and the AP. If there was one piece I could buy it would be one of those.Perfection in design and would still rock with the big boys.Frank!y there's not much else to say.Perfection is a variable but it is /was the benchmark in my book.Size ,looks I could go on.A masterpiece.Anyway I only can dream?
I'm based in Edinburgh and would love a Red Bar meeting to happen here. I couldn't seem to find anything out about it, until now. Great video Adrian! Your camera does a good job of producing some nicely lit and sharp footage. Great to see you making all these connections through a love of watches.
@Logan Smith here is the website for Red Bar global, redbargroup.com. Red Bar was created 10 years ago when Adam Craniotes and I started meeting up in a Korea town dive bar to talk watches. Today there are 1000s of members in local Red Bar groups on 4 continents. Hope you get to experience a Red Bar meetup soon. Some of my closest friends have come through RB. Cheers
Few people realize just how hard that dial is to make. The failure rate is reputed to be over 80%. Just amazing in person, and it changes with light in a way that few other dials do. Top 5 blue dials in all of horology
Very enjoyable video, unbelievable, what a gorgeous collection of watches. I love the fact how you talk about some dials of the watches. Most of the time people talk about the mechanics of the watch. I am usually very interested in the dial as well. Color, details and especially different angles and lighting on them. Would be a good topic for a vid? Anyhow cheers nice video again.
Thank you! I really agree with you, sometimes people forget that designing a beautiful watch is just as hard as making a movement ultra-thin or inventing a new complication
JLC is a stunner. Love the simplicity of the dial. Sorry, the off centre dial on the AP and FPJ would do my head in! Couldn't wear them (if I could afford them).
The F.P. Journe is the clear winner here. Why normally-priced watch companies can't incorporate this kind of timeless, simple style into their dials is completely beyond me.
Nice vid Adrian, this FPJ is one of the most sought after watch, they only make less than 200 a year. You won’t find many on a daily basis, let alone having one on a wrist. It is really an amazing watch, also technically it is special: double barrels, solid gold movement, hand crafted to the smallest detail. It retain great value also. Thanks for sharing. Regards.
I deeply regret having passed on purchasing a Chrono Bleu from a Red Bar NYC friend two years ago. Almost impossible to find now with an over year long wait list
You should just get yourself a used JLC, nice to have watches you really like and if someone else has taken the biggest hit already then well not much lost if you can enjoy something
The thing I like about this collection is that the watches are actually worn. The odd scuff and scratch here and there all adds to their character, not just kept in a safe wrapped in cotton wool. Some nice pieces and good to see JLC featured.
Couldn't agree more. In 18 years of watch collecting I've never understood the concept of safe queens. Watches are tools, they are often demonstrations of incredible design, and need to be worn.
Thanks very much! I make a point to wear ALL my watches, otherwise it's time for them to go. Interestingly, I finally nicked the Journe on one of those anti-shoplifting guards by the doors of a shop and actually felt relieved that it was finally "scuffed" properly and no longer had to be babied. If you look at the JLC you'll see a massive gash on the bezel from when my hand got caught by the doors of a metro train as well!
Agree the JLC is an awesome time piece, that 36mm RO was beautiful too! Can’t go wrong with the Gmt ii though (if we can afford one these days) prices going through the roof! Keep up the great content Adrian 👌love the channel.
I'm actually very happy about the GMT - bought it a year and a half ago for about £5,000 and now watching the prices rise just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
Wow! Really enjoyed this video.. loved the collection .. 😃 My fav of the lot is the FPJ too, but I’m absolutely head over heels for the yellow gold dial variant Octas.. Breathtakingly beautiful, all of them though ❤️
Damn i like the JLC sector dial , wish it was a 40 though . The power reserve is a bit of a let down too . But i really like it , actually on the fence right now (if it weren't for those 2 things i would have pulled the trigger already). Also that Kermit ........DAMN! better than the hulk IMHO
When talking about your favourite watch of this collection, The JLC, you mention that it has a great movement. Can I ask what makes a great movement? Is it the amount of complications, the accuracy, reliability what? I get the idea of in-house and why they can be expensive with manafacturing the parts etc but what sets it aside from the average £400 watch which is reliable, has complications and is accurate. Would love to here your thoughts. Thanks
NIce vid as always Adrian, I just disagree with the GMT II "flying under the radar" - especially with the Pepsi and Coke bezels, I reckon those GMTs are "The Rolex" watches for the majority of people out there. That coloured bezel can't be mistaken with anything else than a Rolex, even in the non-horology world. My 2 cents is that it's not a low profile watch at all...
Forgive my ignorance - I’m a watch newbie. I have a question. Why can you buy a brand new green submariner for just over £6000, but on Watchfinder pre owned ones are going for 7500+?
Hi Tom, It's a common announce that people find out when they go to buy a rolex. You can't buy a green submariner, it's hard enough to a normal submariner. There is a very long wait list for these watches because they are in such high demand. If you wanted a Green Submariner, you'll probably be waiting a year. Unless you know people, or are really persistent. So, if you buy a green sub new for £6k, you can selling for more straight away.
Bark and Jack I see! I know what happened now. I checked Goldsmiths site and they had the green sub listed for roughly £6k but, it doesn’t actually say you can buy it, they’re just advertising the RRP and they have a separate link to try and locate one. So I just mistook the RRP as you could buy one from them. When in actual fact if I tried to source one I’d have tremendous trouble and hence why the prices have gone up
Supply and demand with Rolex I'm afraid,Watchfinder know this and price their watches above retail knowing the wait list is long on the sports models especially blue dials,rumour is Rolex price hike soon as well.......
What a collection indeed it is, thanks for sharing that Adrian👍🏻🙏🏻 Thought I go for a 16013 for my 40th but considering as well now a JLC, let’s see, these watches are stunning and I like sort of the master control line...
I'm quite interested about the cyclops too. I bought it from what I think is a pretty reputable seller so I think it's just age. Could be polishing that's messed up the magnification, but again I have no clue.
@@edinburghtimepieces1815 I have the exact watch with the same dial and everything, I'm trying to compare it for you but it seems that your cyclops is a bit too magnified. Shoot me an email I'll send you pictures of mine so you can compare. Hope this helps!
Been trying to get my hands on a rolex from an AD for some time. Sd43 to go with my ploprof. As time goes by this global rolex obsession is starting to put me off a little (not one to run with the crowd). My attention has bee turned to JLC. Not a flipper so depreciation isn't to big a factor. JLC polaris models are the ones I am considering, the chronograph especially. Good video, keep them coming 👍

I've followed you on instagram. Cheers, Adrian
IMHO there is no finer watch that the FPJ chrono bleu, if I was ever lucky enough to get one it would be the end game watch...love EdinburghTimePieces insta page no pretence just great watches. Hopefully bump into him in Edinburgh one day
Watches that don't retain value shouldn't be a problem if you buy it used, right? Or does it drop in value again and again with more owners like vehicle does?
A very nice collection which he should be extremely proud of however it just doesn't float my boat. I'm a tool watch kind of guy so something simple & robust would win over anything like this every single time.
This JLC Chronograph sits in a sweet spot between « sort of achievable » and « grail stuff »
Hervé Chretien I love this simplicity of the JLC
I've been slightly obsessing over the Master Chronograph until I saw it in the store window. Nothing wrong with the watch, I just knew I had to walk away rather than walk in to try it on, otherwise I'd start finding away to buy a watch I simply cannot afford.

Very nice, eclectic collection indeed. Love that JLC, though I find it just a tad too thick. Minor point, really. The guy has good taste.

It's much more subtle than even the modern 37mm ones which I find unreasonably shiny for a "base model". Definitely worth a try
That JLC... God damn its beautiful
That APIs amazing I had a look at that it’s small yet beefy it’s a beauty
The Rolex Coke GMT and the FPJ were my favorites. I actually liked the back of the FPJ more than the front, LOL!!

Great collection review. Keep up the mix of pieces to camera, walk ‘n’ rant and reviews.

IMHO there is no finer watch that the FPJ chrono bleu, if I was ever lucky enough to get one it would be the end game watch...love EdinburghTimePieces insta page no pretence just great watches. Hopefully bump into him in Edinburgh one day
Agree with all the comments on the jlc. I'm waiting to for them to start hitting the second hand market to see if I can save up for one.
The Royal Oak's date flip on the 8 feels just right, but the 23 to 24 looks so wrong. It's such a small detail that would drive me crazy.
Can not be unseen now! :)
Haha, I can see what you mean. I hadn't noticed it before.
I only JUST noticed it thanks to your comment. Really cannot unsee it now
Watches that don't retain value shouldn't be a problem if you buy it used, right? Or does it drop in value again and again with more owners like vehicle does?
Great watches Enjoy
Beautiful F P...
Another great video thank you for a superb content
Great video Adrian keep it up 👍🏻
Love the fp
A very nice collection which he should be extremely proud of however it just doesn't float my boat. I'm a tool watch kind of guy so something simple & robust would win over anything like this every single time.
Awesome stuff
Great video. Awesome watches.
The AP wins my heart
That FP Journe...hnnnngggg.🤤
THIS kind of piece goes to show why Adrian is responsible for the ROWLECKS steel sports shortage.
Mate, u need to do a vid with your whole collection
Awesome!!!!!!
Great video Adrian. Give me a shout next time you’re in Glasgow. Could grab a quick coffee and a wander through the Argyll Arcade.
Will do. I’m hoping to come up again in October. 👍🏻
Yea yea yea Adrian. Great video
