I'm amazed by the superb quality of your videos. The amount of work you put on this is incredible. I was attracted to your channel by your series about digital casios (my favorite brand and type of watches) but your other videos are also amazing. Thanks for sharing, greetings from Colombia
WOW this was brilliant... so many new dials I've not seen... am a sucker for enamel dials, simple classic and smooth LML :-P Great show there my friend, and hearing the types of dials was very nicely presented... cheers with a huge thumbs from me :))
Thankyou kind sir!! Absolutely - love the enamel dials. Back to Casios of 2000s next. I had a big fat fail in that I hadn’t realised that radio controlled Casios go back to ‘95 with the FKT-100 for German market, so that’s ruining my intro of the Antman and FKT-300 In 2000 which I thought were the first. Had been wondering why the FKT-100 had weird German malarkey on the back when I was scanning through…
Another fantastically well researched and put together video. Genuinely fascinating to realise the sheer variety of dial materials out there. Awesome stuff 👏👏👏👏
Great video, very interesting. Wouldn't have thought of using Dino poo!.. I quite like the Carbon black watches. Maybe someone will make a liquid metal watch using mercury (bit toxic though)👍
@@IlluminatingWatches oh no! now I've got Arnold's voice in my head saying "the T-1000, mimetic polyalloy, liquid metal" it would be quite cool as a watch though 👍
Extremely interesting video, I really learnt a lot of different materials to make dials from with more than half I've never even heard of. Great job with the research.
Didn’t know about the first bit - eep! But he is at least a character which the world is short of , and cinematography is impressive. Very different vibe from my nerdy channel talking about LCD backlights on £10 watches etc ha!
@@IlluminatingWatches Your channel is way better than the timeless watch channel.... You have more real subscribers in addition, not bought subscribers like the timeless watch channel....
Kudos to people digging deep enough into the channel to come across this comment. I appreciate you!

What a nice comment - thankyou! Don’t worry lots more digital watch content on the way!

As always, outstanding material. Very thorough and a great way to help collectors seek out unique dial materials.
Thanks man! Very kind of you. There were more than I was anticipating . Was meant to be a shorter vid!!
Very thorough! The American watch company RGM has a dive watch that uses black mother of pearl.

Thankyou thankyou! And that’s without going into all the different types of dial finish etc. Huge topic!! I underestimated it!
Very well researched & presented video as always, some fascinating materials in this list.
Thankyou! This was meant to be a short video. Got carried away with al the materials!
Absolutely fascinating! I would never think that there's so many types of materials used. Thanks for the effort/ research, really great stuff.
Thankyou!! I know - I was a bit overwhelmed by how many types there were. Was meant to be a short piece!
Great insight into dial materials.. I'm into MOP dials at the moment.. the Green/blue/black MOP.. beautiful.
Appreciate your work Thank you 🙏
Great video, very interesting. Wouldn't have thought of using Dino poo!.. I quite like the Carbon black watches. Maybe someone will make a liquid metal watch using mercury (bit toxic though)👍
Weird one right? Good idea I’d call that one the T1000 :)

Great video. I sometimes pinch myself for not picking an Ascendent. 😢
Sadly I sold mine :(
@@IlluminatingWatches Sorry to hear. It’s the Mr. Jones piece that has tempted me the most over the years.
I feel the exact same way. It’s the piece that most intrigued me from them.
@@IlluminatingWatchesWhat were your thoughts on the piece?
That is a really stunning video. Thank you.

Thanks man. Enjoying your content! Big things for you.
@@IlluminatingWatches much appreciated mate and same to you
Very well done and thank you for your contribution to better appreciate watches. :)
Thanks as always!
Another amazing video OMG!!!
Ha thanks - another one that doesn’t get much love!
Some cheap watches use a cardboard dial...
There is a citizen with a so called “paper” dial. It only realised later that it was just describing the look rather then the material .
@@IlluminatingWatchesGreat video. Some more interesting ones that have appeared are cigar leaf dials.
The music is bad and to loud. Very distracting over your voice.
The timeless watch channel makes official complaints about some other watch channels too... Just an all around complainer....

Thankyou. Obviously very different things but I’m happy with my little corner :)
