My #Tissot Sideral has issues, erratic beat rate, amplitude and returned it in for servicing. After waiting over a month I received my watch back only to experience the same issues that I was experiencing the first time, erratic beat rate amplitude and beat error. Oddly enough the watch is keeping reasonable time but still just because a watch is keeping time doesn’t mean that it is running wel...

Too much plastic inside
a great collection. And a lot more Oris than I expected !!
Great video thank you from the states really helpful
From start to finish this took about 45 minutes to do ❤😊
Magnetism?
I have this watch and it's stunning. When I rotate my watches I can't wait to get back to it. A true movie icon too.
Great video chief, thanks. Your voice gives me Tom Selleck vibes. More CW comparison videos up against Tudor, Rolex etc please 🙏.......Subscribed 💪 from London 🇬🇧
Wye do watches have so small date windows for us with weaker sight its impossible to read the date without the magnifier so people who hate them must have 20 20 vision
I have 3 watches with the powermatic 80. All of them run great, accurate and smooth. I also own an older Hamilton automatic field watch, many auto Seikos, a Squale and, most importantly, a Tudor Black Bay. I've had to service every one of those watches due to accuracy issues, with some of them I've just given up. I've never had a problem with any of my P80s. And even if in a few years i start seeing problems, they'll just replace the whole ETA movement. Sounds like a win for me.
Is there a link to that 500 dollar replica? *amzwatch*
What size cyclops would you suggest for a 38mm watch?
Blue lume brite
I have two GS Sapphire, a white dial subhunter and an all black one. They have a ten year battery and are incredibly accurate. I prefer the quartz version for this style of watch. It fits great on my 7” list. You got a great deal on the automatic. Do you still wear it as the video is now 2 years old.
You have quite a variety. Many thanks.
Strange...that Tudor (chronometer) had a higher beat error than the Thorn.
Excellent work! It's definitely a labor of love. 👍
This video has aged very well
Can you do this with glass crystal?
Yes glass will be softer then Hardlex but if your glass is sapphire no it is very hard
Mmmmmmmmm. Moist.
Thanks for sharing and for putting your own warches to the test. I ended up buying a couple of replacement crystals but still have the originals, so I'll try it with those. Cheers!
Yes keep the originals for sure!!! The replacement ones are good but still not like the originals.

what material are you using ?
If you are referring to the green cloth it is just a micro fibre type cloth used to polish glasses.
The pink stuff is jewellers rouge.
@ CERIUM OXIDE powder mixed with water
If you watch my full video you’ll see I started with 400 grit wet sandpaper then 800, 1500 and finally 2000 grit. 😊
@@canadianwatchmonkey3992 I don't wanna watch it , that's why I asked.
Hello Love seiko new and old
Same here but the best of Seiko is their 1970’s chronographs in my opinion
This a beautiful watch, I have the S&G version and again TUDOR RULES!! I have just found your channel and have now subscribed, thanks for the great content.
Tudor watches are truly great. Thanks for the sub!!
@@canadianwatchmonkey3992 You're welcome my friend
I'm in the UK and I had some insurance money and decided to buy my first Rolex about 9yrs ago. It was a Sunday morning at a Shopping Centre in Essex. So getting there early there was not many people around. I bought my Rolex on Sunday wore it Monday and Tuesday and sold it on Wednesday. What a load of rubbish, reseting the time 2-3 times A DAY, was not fun. So I bought a TUDOR Submariner 79090 (1993). WOW! what a fantastic watch, lost about 3 seconds a month. I fell in love with the TUDOR brand and now own 5 TUDORS.. Great brand, great craftsmanship, great looking watches. 10/10
I’m definitely team Tudor and feel as you do about the brand!
I like it.
That TT1 is such a great watch. If you don’t own one yet, you should. Don’t over pay.
Not to be harsh, but the alias should have been a big red flag. And I definitely wouldn't apologize to his coconspirator or give him any additional cash. Canadians really are too nice!
Good news is I did get my watches back but bad news was I did pay his ransom of $800
Loved your video Mr Monkey - many thanks - and the pleasure you take in that watch is plain to see. I have an el primero rainbow in 18ct yellow gold (white face and gold bracelet). I saw, and immediately fell it in love with it, it's by far my favourite watch.
Thank you for the kind words and your love for Zenith seems to be on par with mine.
The acronym CREPAS stands for 'Compañía Relojera Especializada para Actividades Subacuáticas,' which translates roughly to 'Specialized Watchmaking Company for Underwater Activities' in English. This Spanish brand is renowned for producing high-quality dive watches that blend vintage-inspired designs with modern materials and technology.
Thank you for taking the time to give information on what CREPAS stands for. I agree that they make great watches but their lack of communication for warranty repairs was very disappointing for me.
@@canadianwatchmonkey3992 that's disappointing certainty, what happened to your watch?
Ordered one, for me nothing better in its price range.
Awesome 👌
For me, the collection feels huge! You have many gems in there, but for me 12 watches would be enough.
I’ve been trying to shrink it down but the problem is I love them all 😊
Nice review! I’m very close to buying one, but I wonder if it’s not too big for my 6.4-inch wrist?
Whats your wrist size. I'm saving for the same size. My wrist size is 6.5 inches. £1700 in the UK
How can the Tudor's aftermarket bracelet have the name 'Tudor' on it if it's not official?
Movimento automático 'Powermatic 80' com segundos centrais e indicadores de dia e data. Dentro da família de movimentos Powermatic, há - até agora - três níveis diferentes; C07.1XX; estes têm um escape sintético. C07.6XX; estes têm um escape regular. C07.8XX; estes têm uma mola de equilíbrio de silício.
I bet a Bonklip would look great on something like a Sinn 144 or Guinand Series 60. Orfina-style case, with covered lugs!
Nice rounded collection.
Thank you!😊
How big is your wrist? Is the pilot strap too long or does it stick out far? Thx
What a fantastic collection John!
Thank you! It's been a long time coming but I'm really happy with it. 😊
Awesome awesome collection…. Best wishes..
Thank you! ❤ appreciate it 😊
To the naked eye, it's a great replica. If one paid for it at cheap replica price, it's ok, but if fooled by paying for a price of a real one either new or secondhand, then this video is very helpful.
Thanks you for sharing your well thought out collection. Happy New Year.
Thank you for watching!
What year is it in Canada?
Last I checked the same as anywhere else in the world but judging by our politics we are in the Stone age. 😊
Awesome collection, love it 👌 Keep up the great work & content! Happy holidays to you & your beloveds!
Thank you! You too!
Great approach to showcasing your extensive collection. Very diverse too! Most unique has to be that Eberhard 4-dial chrono...Have a Happy New Year Monkey!
Thank you for watching!
Let me know what watches you liked and disliked. 😊
So many cool watches. Oris divers 65 is on my short list (except it's the no date Topper) and being a Seiko nut , that Lordmatic TV case was a stand out. Thanks for sharing CWM .
@ Thanks for the kind words. Yes the LM TV is such a great looking piece very thin and elegant. For me personally my favourite Divers 65 is the one I have, so different than anything out there.
I love mine, got it for this Christmas (2025) ..I too have a 7" wrist, and we wear it at exactly the same hole. I agree a smaller then 7" wrist shouldn't wear this. Can't wait for the patina and wear on the leather
With that Blue Dial Hamilton!! What a nice combo. ❤
I just bought the Laco and I love it. My pilot strap is coming in the mail!
