Yes, please!!. How does a “very good” replica stand against an original?. But not only a Rolex, how does an “entry level luxury” watch stand against a high end watch?. How about a Longiness vs an Omega?, or an Omega vs a Rolex?.
In fact, the quality of the dial is a good sign wehther it's a real watch or a fake! I can almost tell it by looking at it with a simple magnifying glass.
THANK YOU for putting the link to part 1. Many channels are too lazy to do that. I am more interested in the microscope than I am the watches. That thing's sic!
I love these microscope episodes. You've become one of my UA-cam favorites. Thank you for the explanations you provide on how the manufacturer works on the parts and what materials they are. Awesome!
Ayy Marko! You're looking good! Love your new haircut! You look cute I wanna give you hugs. Btw just to correct things, at 0:52, the magnification loupe most of the watchmaker use is 10x, as I do mostly as well, it's used during assembly and lubricating things, or uncommon 20x for checking the lubrication on the pallet fork against the escape wheel. The 2.5x or 1.5x usually used for checking things out like the function and the cleanliness, and during the QC, and even customers had that to check the condition of the watch or to enjoy the finishing or things. That microscope he used is common being used during lubricating the coaxial escapement like the movement from Omega.
Just as wood has grain, so does metal. It is equally important in aligning grain in metal work for both finish and structural integrity of the part you are working on.
Thanks for such a great episode! Very interesting and thankfully all the watches look good at 200x zoom! Well done to the manufacturers of the featured watches.
Absolutely a fantastic collection of watches! That is first and foremost. Secondly, what a very cool concept by looking at these with such magnification... Well done Gentleman!
I bought a 100x electronic microscope, my weekends indoors will be looking at movements and watches :D The more details we see, the more impressed we get.
1. the ROG laptop looks badass. 2.many watch geek watches which is awsome, I would like the Jacob&co for myself, kinda underrated watch. 3.the AP RO does worth the money, I mean the retail price :), the finishing is top notch.
26k+ watches and likes 700-. Why folks? Didn't you bother yourself to thumbs up. Help this channel with likes. Plz. We enjoy their content. So let the tram grow.
The AP is made with a brocading machine, it’s pretty similar to Guilloché but with brocading there are two patterns layered kind of. It’s nothing close to a pantograph.
GOD BLESS YOU MARCO. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY THE BEST HOLIDAY SEASON EVER. I WOULD ABSOLUTELY CRY TO PUT BEAUTIFUL WATCHES ON. I CANNOT THANK GOD ENOUGH FOR MY BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS.
Awesome vid guys. Subbed from usa!!! Keep going !!! @smallturnsbig also great job man you’re super good on camera and i can definitely see both of you tapping into global fan bases
Fascinating vid. 👍🏻 🙂Your first watch with the enamel dial shows wear in the brand name probably because in the early days of wristwatches for men the dials were often left blank of brand names from the factory. Back then people were more likely to "buy" the retailer's name than the brand so you'll find the retailer's name printed on rather than fired into the enamel itself, so it's much more likely to wear away. This was more the case with Swiss brands as outside Switzerland and much of Europe people hadn't heard of the brands we know today. In the US market you're much more likely to find US brands on the dial from the factory because the US market was more brand conscious. In the British market it was the opposite and Longines even promised British retailers they'd never put their brand on the dial. Then the Swiss marketing machine took off... 🙂 One of the few real innovations Rolex(and the other brands they had at the time) did was to later insist on their branding on the dials and the rest followed.

Brilliant detail in all captured microscope images but the ‘hand woven Linen face’ is beautiful.
