The BEST comment will win a Watch! Good luck ❤️
Ok
Just been going through liking comments 😂
Now I feel a twat😂
Hi handsome. 😂
You missed Grand Seiko! :D
The passion Nico has not only for watches but also for the general public that are buying these watches is amazing to see and you can really tell that he just wants these watch brands to understand that alienating customers and other brands from their cliche is detrimental to the entire industry.
Excellent comment! Exactly how I felt watching the video and really just appreciate Nico’s honest opinion about watch brands and the watch industry. You can tell he really cares about not only the industry growing but also the experience for the end consumer/watch enthusiast. He’s willing to speak his mind and hold people accountable and that is rare and supremely refreshing to see and hear.
Sure blah blah , get your tongue out of his bum . He is the mark gold bridge of the watch world . Hublot is Man City , his team is Rolex
@@cornel1260 I feel bad for you if you feel the need to post comments like that
Too bad he alienates viewers by shouting at the camera.
As an engineer, those super thin watches I think are absolutely incredible with how complex that can be to design and manufacture, and I think they deserve more credit for just being an engineering masterpiece
closest i have is my old Seamaster 711... that's got a 3mm automatic movement from the 60s :)
Form follows function, those watches aren't even readable. They're terrible.
lol … but that’s what not watchmaking is about … this is not car industry or rocket science
@@sergezerkin The watch industry historically is very much an engineering flex, who ever needed to have moon faces or a tachymeter on your watch or all the other bits and pieces that add to watched nowadays, you could've just had an external device for that, and that's what engineering is about.
@@lisabrightly but I could argue the same about the UN watch he mentioned, it's barely readable but still a masterpiece, and most of these high end watches are for making a statement and less function
YES! We need more of THIS Nico back and less influencer Nico. This video reminded me why I've been subscribed to you for ages now. Total honesty and class. Keep it up Nico 💪
Couldn’t have said it better myself!!
Yeah…classy people always yell at their viewers 🙄
Nothing classy here. Just obnoxious arbitrary "opinion" on what he prefers and which brand her has a good relationship with.
AD: If you buy this gold Tudor and $15,000 worth of jewelry we'll move you up on the list to buy a Daytona.
You couldn’t be more right😂
but only the oysterflex or two-tone ones
You forgot "maybe"
That’s not enough for a Daytona
Buying that brick and $15,000 worth of jewelry I expect to be in line for the open caseback Plat Daytona.
Missed: JLC Duometer Heliotourbillon Perpetual
#1 slept on brand
The lange too, also missed the santos dual time, the most complicated watch in the earth, the aquanut quartz,the tortue the zenith defy, the split second from tag, at leats one grand seiko, parmigiani, and the bethunes DB kind of grande, we demand a part 2 for the missing watches @nico
Agreed - gotta love a JLC
Which is a shame. It's the best watch in the show.
this watch is magnificent
Nico is absolutely on the money here. His opinion on Bremont's direction, Watches and Wonders show, CEOs/Executives leaving before interacting the public, all valid points.
The IWC Eternal Calendar was by far my favorite new release this year.
I really love that you care about the people involved with watchmaking and calling out dirty CEOs that are bad for the brand. If they knew anything they would listen to you. Just like UN did.
I love the part where you say "I really love that you care about the people...." 😂
Bremont is like watching your favourite pub, that’s been you local for years, being gutted out and turned into a Starbucks. While keeping the pub’s name above the door to rub salt into your wounds and remind you of the good ol’ days.
Nice words at the end about the public days, reminds me of the quote -
“Treat the customer as guests when they come and when they go, whether or not they buy. Give them all that can be given fairly, on the principle that ‘to him that giveth shall be given’. Remember always that the recollection of quality remains long after the price is forgotten. Then your business will prosper by a natural process.”

love the vids niko hopefully getting my first cartier santos soon.
Well explained. Thank you for bringing up this video. Financial education is indeed required for more than 70% of the society in the country as very few are literate on the subject! Thanks to Mylah Evander the lady you recommended.
That is true my dear! Investment is the best idea presently and without it, human struggles are worthless.
I always wanted to trade for a long time but the volatility price has been confusing.
Mylah Evander totally changed my life for good. I have come across individuals but none is as honest as she is. So surprised you know her too.
Mylah was interviewed on CNBC Television. You can use something else, for me the strategy works hence my result. She provides entry and exit points for the securities I focus on.
Could you be kind enough to share her info???
IWC’s CEO : - We can’t compete with the other brands this year.
The Marketing Team : -No sir we can’t but we’re betting everything on the bar this year.
The three standouts for me were the Bvlgari Finissimo, the Monaco split second chrono, and the IWC Eternal Calendar. IWC smashed the socials with Dr. Brian Cox - legend. Rolex were balls deep in complacency.
Disappointed you did not include Lange. Their watches were incredible.
They don't pay that scam that's why.
@@iliasanastasiadis7658 what's a scam? Nico's giveaway?
@@iliasanastasiadis7658I don’t understand. What does that mean? What’s paying the scam?
@atthelord Nico is a scambag, he is only advertising brands who pay him. He doesn't mention those who don't. And to be honest, if I was in Lange I wouldn't either. This brand doesn't need this type of buyers.
@@iliasanastasiadis7658 true, talks shit about tudor and how boring rolex is, but then boom. puts tudor in class. literally shameless.
Hey Nico, i started to be interested in watches cause you. You doing great a funny videos , so keep going mate. Also i really liked new models from Grand Seiko, as entry luxury watches, really like the dials. Have a nice day and greetings from Czech Republic .
Hi there Im all the way from South Africa. I have been following Nico for a while now. He is the sole reason I became a luxury watch enthusiast, even though I probably never will be able to afford any of the watches you review and react to I am totally took by what you do. Thanks for all the valuable knowledge you share and your great humor. Keep doing what you doing. Peace mate. #GODTIER4LIFE
That Patek gives me “Total Ellipse of the Heart” ❤️
Loved how raw and honest this was. I followed because of this video.
@NicoLeonard love the list. Your vids are getting me back into watches. I have always been one snubbing Casio but you are making me change my mind and think more on these God tier watches. What are your top 5 Casio watches for any collector and why?
3:40 god-tier rant. Call ‘em how you see ‘em. Respect to Nico!
Hello Mr Nico I have been following your videos for quite some time and find them quite entertaining. I have a lot of different brands. A Rolex, omega, Grand Sieko, Zenith (💛), Longines, IWC, Oris (❤). Some time ago I got a Hublot Big Bang Unico 42 mm at a good price.
I have to say one thing Nico -
I think the hate for Hublot is overrated. The in house movement is quite accurate and the watch has a flyback chronograph. It has 72 powers reserve, Looks crazy beautiful with the skeleton dial. Has been one of the conversation starter piece for sure (in a good way). Comfortable to wear and I checked the price’s online(Chrono 24) and they ain’t falling down like many reviewers say. So please give this watch a try before shitting on it. As always continue on your journey sir, waiting for more reviews. TC.
Good honest review of show and current ranges
keep up the good work and i think your right with all of your opinions
Theses are the god tier of videos… love it
Daddy Nico’s back with another banger
13:46 The green dial rant about Vacheron Constantin was hilarious!🤣
Love your content, brother, and this is coming from another UA-camr as well. Because of your channel you made me get the bug and the last three days I’ve bought a Rolex 116613, Omega Planet Ocean Pro, and a 1989 Breitling Cosmonaute like my father’s. I am going to shout you out when I make my videos and when I show off my toys. Keep up the fantastic work.
love the vids niko hopefully getting my first cartier santos soon
Whether you have $100 or $100,000 to spend on a watch, this guy’s opinion will always be honest and spot on. Great success but hasn’t forgotten the everyday person
I’m gonna fart in your eye
Loved your ranking, always trust your watch insights! 👍
He won't give any insights if his feelings are hurt
About time you uploaded a new video
As I don't drink Pepsi or Coke, is there any update on when the Rolex GMT Master II Cup of herbal tea is being released?
Trying to snag a Rolex Daytona at an authorized dealer is like trying to unlock a secret level in a video game - you gotta buy all the useless items first before you can access the legendary treasure!
so you spent likee what?? 70K till Daytona ??
@@crackinlackin6189😂😂😂😭😭😭
@@crackinlackin6189 250K then you can get a Daytona. i was at an omega boutique in Las Vegas. A customer had the new stainless steel panda on. over heard him tell the Omega AD thats how much he spent on rolex watches before he got it. not the first time i heard that
Love your videos!
Loved the video! Thanks! Can you do a review of smaller brands? Tissot? Citizen? Seiko? Hamilton? Longines? etc... :)
I completely understand the Hublot hate but it doesn’t seem very objective to skip past the reviews and the direction they are taking.
About to start this video. I really hope there’s no yelling!
😂
Wow this was one of the most serious videos you did in my opinion but i loved it !!!❤❤
These videos are always great. I had the chance to meet Nico in real life last year in California and he's just as fantastic in real life. He got out of his car for a photo without even having to ask and he was just as funny as he is in the videos. Such a great guy.
Here for the William Roberts roasts.
😂
Love to see you making a more toned down video. Appreciate it much more than the more aggressive style of video
Great video! This is the first I've seen of you and I'd definitely put your feed in the "Class" category. Looking forward to more.
Hello from Greece, i love your videos keep making fire videos mate
Would’ve loved to hear your take on the Tudor ”Submariner” :o
Wheres my PRX from your giveaway?
Today was the day. Thanks. I was constipated and I was finally able to take a shite when I saw that Cartier Santos.
Best video yet! Welcome back Nico
i was waiting for a week God Damnit
Im always late😂
@@NicoLeonard better Late Than Never 🙏🏽
I'm going to put double adverts in the fuc#ing Sh#te category 😂😂😂
Love it! I'm also interested to hear your thoughts on what Czapek is doing.
the part where Nico talked about Tudor is well said… its very important to increase the value of the brand rather than a product…👏.. this can be apply to many other brands n businesses….thank you Nico❤
I like that you give respect to Nomos. Really appreciate that.
what about A. Lange & Sohne ?????
I like that more than anything else tbh and you just skipped it!!! WOW
Hey Nico love the videos just recently purchased an iwc performance chrono 41 amg 388305 would love to hear your thoughts on the piece. Maybe the fact you havent talked about it already isn’t good haha
I’m new to this watch collecting I’ve always loved watches. I love your videos and knowledge on watches Can you please make more videos for beginner watches collectors with more watches in the 1k and below range lol also videos on why you don’t like certain brands. Just starting off my collection with a Hamilton Jazzmaster H38525811 thank you can’t wait to Swatch your future videos.
What happened to Grand Seiko
Dude hates Grand Seiko. Don't expect to see any related content in this channel. LOL
So fresh the video hasn't even reached triple digits, mad
dont even own a watch but im addicted to watch his content on tiktok damn... he explain what timezone is , perpetual, anything complicated on the watch as a person who knows nothing about watch, its nice to learn, new fans acquired. oh yeah and great review as always mr nico ily. ps dont say ily back
The only video I've seen on W&W 2024 where a passionate heart is speaking. I would class other videos in the freshly renamed Davide category. Thank you Nico.
Thank you for always being on the people's side, understanding there's more to watches than rich brands stroking their own back at their own rich salons, and always going for brands needing the customer instead of them thinking they're doing us a favor. They need to understand that.
Nico "PP Ellipse, Class, but wouldn't buy" (puts in Meh) "Hermes, Class, but wouldn't buy" (puts in Class)
Absolutely mesmerizing! The sleek design of these watches is a true testament to the elegance of craftsmanship. Nico, your videos do justice to these beauties, capturing every intricate detail with such finesse. Thank you for sharing these stunning timepieces with us! 🔥⌚
I went on a grand tour of Switzerland and asked about a steel sub at each Bucherer on the left side of the country. Closest was in Zermatt. Got offered two white Speedmasters! Came away with two spoons and some chocolate. Loved every second. Thanks for the content, Nico.
There's a lot I don't like about modern Omega. But what's with Nico's Omega/Swatch hate? Is it that he's that obsessed with rolex/tudor? I don't see how anyone would think that Tudor as a heritage line for Rolex is ever going to overtake Omega as Swatch's sort of main brand.
I'd say they are well on course to overtake Omega.
The Swatch Group continue to devalue Omega with plastic toy fakes.
Tudor continue to increase the value of their brand so much so when you see the prices in the window they look too cheap.
It's inevitable.
@@fontyyy I see that from content creators who seem to really like tudor. But the numbers don't spell that out at all - Omega is at 7-8 of the market and tudor is 2-3. Omega has the speedy and bond and can (kinda had to believe) still justify 6500 for the implied average retail price for their watches at over 500k sold. That seems insane to me as a watch guy if you look at second hand market, but those are the numbers for 2024. Tudor on the other hand has the pelagos as an original design - which is cool, but otherwise is the Rolex heritage brand. They make 250k watches with an implied value of a little over 3k. There's just no real comparison. If rolex ever loses a bit of market share (or total market goes down) and the availability of their basic sports line becomes more attainable...tudor is going to die. Omega...IDk, it seems like they are becoming was Tag Heur was in the early 2000s. Which sucks, but I don't see at all how Tudor ever overtakes Omega. It's like the Omega copes saying they could overtake Rolex - maybe it's a little more possible then that, but both seem insane.
Tudor, Nomos-Glashuette & Tag Heuer FTW
Tudor Pink Chrono is my fave & I will buy it!
My favourite release was the Farer Baily in green! Love the date at 6 position and the dial looks very interesting! Wish a used one comes up in the next 3-5 years in my budget!
Where’s Grand Seiko?
Pin this
Ok ❤️
🤣🤣🤣
@@NicoLeonard Thanks Nico, that was my 12 year old son who asked you to Pin this! He has watched every video you've made and is a massive fan. He even travelled up to your shop from Dublin in the hope of meeting you. You were travelling at the time, but he did meet Chris who was fantastic with him. ❤
@@carolinedonaghy6273 I even like this story 🤘
Man, great video Nico. You don’t beat around the bush and just give us you opinions. Thanks.
Mahalo for another great video
Bring back funny Nico, angry Nico ain’t it…..
Angry? More like passionate Nico.
I LOVE that Norqain is getting some recognition! The Wild One of 1 was my favorite thing that came out of W&W this year. I also love the Tudor Coke GMT and I will be hoping I can snag one this year
I was hoping you'd talk about the denim straps for the Pateks, and the switch from steel to white gold for the Aquanaut (much like the 5711 to 5811)
Love you Nico you’re the one who got me into watches fixed my dads old Bulova he had when he passed hopefully one day I can get myself a beautiful Speedmaster to commemorate him
I wore the freak on a try out in Singapore. I love it so much but I couldn’t afford it. But that’s insanely unique ..a true head turner
I wanted to say it a long time ago: Whoever edits/creates your videos... he makes them funny with these short memes.
Spot on with the Bremont bash, shocking direction for the company. When the rebrand and watches were first announced, all the negative comments on their posts were removed. Sweeping all the negativity from fans under the carpet, creating a false, unstable, yes men company that the bottom will fall out. Notice how the brothers were quick to say that the new releases were not from them…
Looking to get my first automatic and looking at the Sternglas Hamburg with the Miyota 8215 movement. What’s your thoughts?
Dear Nico;
The highlight of my Geneva Days was to meet you. You rock, greetings from Cappadocia 🇹🇷
IWC caught my attention this year I will spend some time a the AD getting a closer look at them.
That was hilarious and honest and f***ing amazing as always!
Just love that you stand up for the watch community and protect the smaller fish in the industrial ❤. Keep up your good work, big fan of yoy
Disapointing to hear about Bremont. The prices were high and the designs a bit so so but I loved how they looked and that they seemed invested in growing the watch industry in the uk.
I love when Nico takes the time to review the new watches for the year every year in detail, passion, and not afraid to criticize and say what he thinks while making it entertaining.
Pride & Pinion - Underdogs to Top Dogs‼️
Nico! What is your oppinion on Mido? I have been looking on the mido multifort tv big date. Think it looks very good. And i have heard it inspired the Patek Aquanaut's design which i think is cool.
Someone's maturing....
Insightful, intelligent opinions, running into @scottishwatches in Geneva has paid off 😉
Well said regarding Bremont, and spot on highlighting Nomos, Norqain etc...good on ya bud
I enjoy your reviews for the raw honesty and energy presented…without fear of repercussions / ramifications from the watch makers. I don’t care about winning a watch. I care about my time! Stay well.
Hey Nico! I really like your ranking! Feels really fair to me! Glad you finally put our brand (IWC) in the « class » category 👊🏻😎 and once again thank you for your time at our IWC bar with James & Grant! It was really lovely to meet you! For those wondering: Nico is a real genuine person! Really chill & very authentic! Something that is truly missing in this industry! Loved our chat!
Don’t know if you remember Nico but I’m Guillaume, the friend of Seb Delanney :)
Jst saw happy jwellers and was waiting for urs ❤
Love your channel Nico, learning so much about watches. Currently on vacation in Asia and happened upon a retailer of questionable watches, and saw a local rich person with security and all, buy a questionable RM and AP. Shop owner told me the customer has real ones but buys these watches when the real ones are out of stock. Maybe that's why celebs have these questionable watches too? Lack of availability?
Good morning Nico and welcome back to Rolex. We have a new program and with the purchase of the rainbow Daytona we will put you on the 2 year waiting list for the neon pink Sea Dweller. Give me your Centurion AMEX and let’s get you on this list.
Nico's passion really makes this video
Finally a awesome RANKING FROM NICO !
I love how Nico reconciliated with Ulises Nardin after the 2022 qualy. They changed their attitude and all went OK :) love that Freak picture.
BTW a lot of watch reviewers hated the Deepsea . Is that bad ?
As a new watch enthusiast, I always watch Nico’s vids. His inputs are actually helpful as a consumer 👌🏽
Wow! Came out spitting facts straight from the heart. Legit feedback if the corporates listen!❤
Hey @NicoLeonard what do you Think of the Jaeger Le Coultre master ultra thin perpetual calender??
Great video, just got my first "luxury watch" Got a Breitling Avenger 42
Well done! 👍👍
