The Humble Horologist
США
Добавлен 22 сен 2022
The purpose of this channel is to promote the joy of responsible watch collecting while advancing the philosophy that the most valuable watch in the world is the one that works when you need it to the most. Also, time - not watches - is irreplaceable.
This channel WILL NOT promote one watch manufacturer over another, NOR will it accept ANY incentive meant to sway consumer opinion.
After following other watch reviewers for a couple of years, Dr. Anthony Baker ("DrWatch") decided it was time to add his own humble opinions to the ongoing horological discussion. In other words, somebody wanted to have a reason to make videos and talk about watches with other people who like to talk about watches (even though he knows far more about Theology than Horology).

Watch Shopping on An Air Force Base (and saving BIG)

It’s not something everyone can access, but if you can, buying a watch from a military base exchange (BX) is one of the easiest ways to save big. In this video I share some examples from my recent visit to Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. Hey! Thanks for watching and reading the "details"! But there is more to me than watches.

What Is a Marriage Watch? It’s Not What You Think
Просмотров 640Месяц назад
In this video, we look at a watch that I recently got off of eBay. It’s a pocket watch turned into a wrist watch. Another term for this kind of watch is a “marriage watch.” Check out my friend Ivane at MwMAtelier. He used to build watches like this in Ukraine. Now he is in Switzerland. Also, check out Vortic Watch Company at vorticwatches.com. They have some very cool vintage piec...

The $100,000 Trump Watch - Is It a Scam or a Deal?
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.2 месяца назад
People can say what they want, but if you wear one of Trump’s watches, you’ll be noticed. And if you pay $100k for one, you probably don’t care what others think. But if you think this watch is just a money grab, a scam, then maybe you should look a little deeper. These watches may not be for everyone, but what are they really worth? #thehumblehorologist #watches #watchreview #DonaldTrump #trum...

Reviewing a Swiss-Made GROVANA Dress Watch
Просмотров 2633 месяца назад
Grovana might not be a watch brand you’re familiar with, but one of my sweet daughters brought one back from Switzerland for me. That was back in 2017. Well, 2024 is the year that Grovana is celebrating their 100th anniversary! They are a Swiss company that is still privately owned and family run, which rare these days. Here is a link to the Grovana website. An English translation is available....

Every watch enthusiast is familiar with the term “workhorse,” correct? Maybe. But you may be new to the hobby and have wondered what people meant by that. This video is for you! Last week I went to Brighter View Farm, a little place a few miles away from where I live. There, Miss Heather let me spend some time with two sweet horses, Gideon and Shine. I renamed them Seiko and Miyota. Link below....

eBay Bid Results and a Warning for Bidders
I own 3 Pagani watches and this one might be 4. lol
I almost wore it to dinner tonight 😊
The sma factory with rolex watchfb
Was the extra bracelet an added deal, like a limited-time discount, or is it a permanent deal on the website? For me when I go it the extra solid link bracelet makes the total shoot up to 196. Thanks!
Yeah, it was a special New Years deal, I suppose.
Want to buy mine? I’ll give you the deal I got.
I have noticed this week that Ali Express is flooded with Pagani watches at roughly half the price. When you click on one of them you will see they are being shipped from Turkey. Now there is a real irony here in that Pagani is the main manufacturer of 'tribute' watches from China. I doubt very much if the Pagani watches from Turkay are genuine so I would advise people not to buy them.
That’s funny. Pagani has gotten good enough to counterfeit LOL
What is the temperature in Canada now? Minus 20°C? It is about 0°C in Poland today.
Well, I’m not in Canada, but here in Chattanooga, Tennessee in the USA 🇺🇸 it 18 degrees F.
I’ve got the No Radiations model of this same watch very good build
I bet that’s cool
@ it is very nice
The most closest to the original Blancpain is the Octopus Kraken “No Radiations” case wise, bezel wise and strap wise. And has the PT5000 movement
I have a Armitron Skeleton watch. It was the first watch I bought myself when I got a job. Still have it. Still runs and keeps time. That was over 25 years ago.
Thank you for your review - beautiful watch.
My pleasure!
I am from Britain and have 3 Armitron watches , 2 LED and 2 Liquid Crystal i love them they are not comen here and they have an amazing history (:
Hey, that’s pretty cool to hear! Thanks!
I love your collection all affordable watches i love it
I learned very little about the watch, watching this video.
I’m sorry about that.
Nice collection. The g-shock was the only one I disliked. (Can’t hate on it. I’m just anti-digital.) From major budget homages (Yeah, Berny! I’m wearing mine this very moment!) to some pretty pricey looking elder statesmen that I didn’t recognize. Not exactly eclectic. Only one I’d call bizarre. But varied. Tasteful. Chronos, divers, sports, dress. Did I not spy a field watch? Or did it just not hit my radar. I think you and I have similar tastes in this arena. For which you should be applauded! 🤣 all the best!
I'm retired Army and have shopped at the PX/BX since 1973. I have found good bargains for jewelry but I haven't had your luck watch shopping. Just not enough discount compared to Walmart or online retailers, even considering the lack of sales tax. Maybe I will look again. But the 50+ mm designer watch will never be on my wrist.
Sorry to hear that (about the lack of success, that is). Thank you for your service (I volunteered in 1990 but got rejected for medical).
There are no luxury watches at the PX which is a bummer. Most of those you can get at the Walmart too.
Our Walmarts only carry George and a few Casios. Nothing more than basic.
HMT?? Damn!!
Yeah, that’s a pretty one.
Thanks for sharing. Do you ever see yourself consolidating to upgrade? That's a lot of watches.
Sometimes. But some have stories and memories, while others would get pennies on the dollar. Thanks for asking, though.
Hello sir I’ve just started getting into watch collecting I am looking for a Timex marlin like you have but it is a green face and gold plating I can’t find a listing anywhere
Have you tried a Timex fan group on Facebook? I’m pretty sure those guys could help.
@ I will give that a look, thank you!
Hello sir I’ve just started getting into watch collecting I am looking for a Timex marlin like you have but it is a green face and gold plating I can’t find a listing anywhere
That’s awesome! Hey, my best advice is to check out one of the larger Timex fan groups on Facebook. Also, if you are just starting your collection, may I recommend an app? Check out Watchee. I have been using it for several years.
Superbe
so many Rolexes bought on bases in the old days...
Timex=garbage.
Do you agree with me if i say TIMEX is better than Rolex?
Ummm. With or without hot sauce? 😉
Seiko citizen bulova are good watches but not fossil
Shhhhh! Don’t tell anybody ;-)
Happy New Year, Anthony! Can you please make a video comparing your compressor style watches? A head to head. I wonder what is the best one according to you. Cheers from Poland.
That’s a fun idea! Thanks for the suggestion.
In 1968 I bought a Tudor in a PX at half price. I am so sorry that I don't still have it.
That’s sad.
I’m avoiding to buy made in china merchandise
I’m heading in that direction, too. It’s not a quality issue as much as an ethical.
Love some of the vintage stuff in there!
any Elgins at Eglin?
Ha! That would have been cool. But no.
I was in the Navy 77-81 and kick myself for not buying Rolex/Seiko/Omega... watches every other month. I didn't drink, smoke or anything else - I had the money.
Yeah, that is certainly sad.
I did 22-plus years in the Air Force and was stationed at Eglin from '77 to '82. I may have worked on that F-15 behind you, was there when the 33rd transitioned from F-4 Phantoms to F-15 Eagles. I got to go back to Eglin TDY in the late '90s and the BX really was upgraded from the time that I was Stationed there. Eglin is a terrific base for those lucky enough to get assigned there. Enjoyed your video.
Stationed there in '75 for operation frequent wind and project new arrival, interesting times.
I was only 8 years old in ‘75. I’ll take your word for it ;-)
Brother those price are a scam even with no sale tax, I'm a watch dealer and I can buy every single watch you showed for a least 30% less expensive and still make a profit. When I was in Fort Jackson in the 80's our then called PX was truly a heaven for purchasing electronics, I purchased a Casio calculator watch for $12.99 and it costed over $50.00 dollars in malls!
I believe you. But from my experience, at least with G-Shocks, they are rarely sold for much less than MRSP. Sippy and demand, I suppose.
G-Shock = God Tier
Happy new year.
Happy new year to you, too!
Just don't order it from the Source Factory No.1 store. Ive had no updates from them 14 days. I suspect the watch is lost but how would I know really? Buyer Beware.
The crystal here is acrylic, not mineral.
Thanks
God bless
What’s the app you have for watches ?
It’s called Watchee or Watchee Pro. I don’t think it’s free anymore, but it’s just a one-time purchase. I don’t get anything for recommending it.
Yeah, it's a quartz watch. Hard pass
The Bertucci in the poly case extremely light, the straps on the Bertuccis are some of the best made. Its avalible in stainless steel and titanium with Japanesse or Swiss quartz mobements which are far less noisey than those used by Timex in their entry models. Timex vases are also usually plated brass under $100 mark.
So how about a video on the gm2110d-2a
This was awesome! I sent it to me Wifey! Thanks
I have several Pagani Design watches and enjoy them very much.
Got the GF a watch for Christmas. She got a chainsaw last year. LOL. And she loves it!
