I don't really understand why brands don't play with skeletonization more... Cartier is on a good way.
@@SzczesliwyCzlowiek agreed Cartier plays with it more than any other brand and others can pick up on it. Thanks for watching.
Nice video
@@jaychaudhry4039 thanks for watching and your support 🙏
My grail watch. Love it.
if im paying that much i want the full watch not half of one
@@bunyann90 that’s an interesting way of looking at it 😂 thanks for watching and your support.
Lovely watch.
@@kvom01 thanks it is indeed and quite and beautiful one to wear. Thanks for watching.
Are you sure it's a crocodile strap. Crocodile is considered an endangered species and will not get through customs in most countries
I love the watch. It is very unique and the all gold and brown is really warm. Jeff
Thanks yes it is a wonderful watch for sure with a very unique dial. Thanks for watching and your support.
How much?
I believe these cost somewhere between 14-15K if a boutique or AD can find them. Thanks for watching and your support.
This is my Grail.
Hope you get hold of one soon. Thanks for watching and your support.
Great review. I love this so much I actually bought it. It is a very special watch and a joy to wear.
Hearty congratulations a stunning choice of a watch and hard to get.
Love this watch, I am left handed , so I am considering the LHD version. However I see many examples of the lume markers falling out of the bezel. How has your experience been in regards to this ? And is the bezel action holding up after all this time ? Thanks in advance ☺️
I have not had any such experience. The watch has been a tank and serves as my daily beater. It’s a great choice and I think you will love it.
Hi. Does it not have the wrist move. Where light comes on?
#nkuwan is your partner in young people’s fashion journey
“USA only” - GS pulled a fast one there 😂
I know it was exclusive for a year and then they launched it globally. I think this practice is hurting them in the long run.
@@themainspringer I do not agree, limited edition is ok, but limited geographical availability is just frustrating for collectors around the world.
My dady bought one #nkuwan and he loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when he went out with it.
I've been rocking this every day with steel bracelet. I've have 20+ watches but this is the most beautiful one
That’s amazing how do you like it on the steel bracelet? I have seen some pictures and they look amazing. Thanks for watching.
The Streamliner case is very good, but that bracelet is so seductive! I tried on the chronograph today and was smitten! In my 40 years of being a watch enthusiast, I can think of only a few that could compare. I bought my first Moser last year (Heritage Dual Time) and it immediately made me decide to break my rule against more than one of any brand. Now I just want another Moser! Soon...
Mike I think we are both on WEAZ, so I am familiar with your piece and it’s stunning. Agreed Moser does have an unconventional approach to watchmaking that makes their pieces fun to own.
One of the coolest watch straps out there
Lobster tail is a more contemporary reference boss. Lol 70s style omegas had a similar appearance to this streamliner. The green and enamel dial are very good versions. Don't like the sand coloured one. The Leica is more in keeping with porsche design/iwc porsche design. I Hope you rebought the autumn GS. This was one watch we had in common
Thanks for watching and yes lobster tail is a great reference. Havnt seen many 70s omegas in that style should look them up. Yea I think the case of the leica reminds me a lot of Porsche design but the watch bracelet has a lot in common to moser. I love the Grand Seiko’s still. I just can’t keep them all but maybe in my next video I will which one came back. :). Thanks for watching and your support.
Actually, I think the designer said he took inspiration for the bracelet from Ebel bracelets from the era.
@@TheBlindSkwerl I believe you are correct for the inspiration source. But they have definitely elevated it. Thanks for watching and your support.
Moser giving competition to Grand Seikos with those beautiful dials. Great selection and observations
Hello, and thanks for this video. From Baltic to Cartier, this is an eclectic selection, for sure. The one I prefer ? The Cartier. The one I can't stand ? The Bulgari. The one I don't care ? The BB's 426 949th iteration.
Haha thanks for watching and agreed the Cartier is stunning. The Bulgari is very love or hate so I understand. The black bay is a bit tired since it seems Tudor can’t do anything else. Appreciate your support.
Is the crystal scratched? at times the word 'drive' is very fuzzy, I hope you can see what I mean. Currently watching this, while wearing my SBGA443
I do. It’s some weird distortion cause the crystal is ok, great choice on the JDM version.
I thought it was an interesting watch until i found out that in white gold it retails for $47;500, other metals are priced upon request.
Hi Gary one slight ray of sunshine is in the secondary market I have seen prices sub 20k. It’s still a boat load of money but the depreciation is insane on this piece. Thanks for watching and your support.
@@themainspringer the watch does seem more reasonable at 20, the problem is that at 20 in the used market in sure brings in a lot of well known brands as competitors. For 20 you can get breguet, Chopard, Glashute original even some Lange and patek. Tough to choose Chanel over so many better perceived brands. Good video, it’s nice to see brands that are not on my radar. Thanks much
@@garykirscher9456 agreed way more interesting options at the price.
Beautiful design. Dimensions, band comfort/ material and most importantly price?
Yes the price unfortunately is the kicker if you buy retail but when it comes on the secondary market it’s been in the low 20s or high teens so amazing value. Thanks for watching and your support.
get a pop filter for your mic. great watch, i love the font of the numerals
Haha definitely will do. Thanks for watching. Yes this is a great looking watch indeed.
For me, this is a terrible design. The jumping hour "7" is so big and bold, it's difficult to focus on anything else. The font doesn't work either. The second most prominent mark is the CHANEL logo.
I see your point and this is not for everyone. I find it attractive. But there are over 800 watch brands so there is something for everyone :) thanks for watching.
Good video, this is a beautiful watch!!!!!!! One for a true horological connoisseur
Absolutely agree. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.
I still have a very biased view towards manual winding. I am more focused on automatic movements, even a micro rotor on a watch such as this Chanel. It is a very good looking piece but I would likely collapse on the price.
I share your sentiment because I am always afraid to overwind watches. However one feature that always makes be feel better is the presence of a power reserve on a manual wind watch which puts me at ease. Unfortunately this Chanel does not have one. Thanks for watching and for your support.
I love my pelagos 39 but from what I understand it’s made of grade 2 titanium which doesn’t polish the same as a grade 5 titanium.
That is true all the Pelagos watches are grade 2 titanium which is pure titanium. Grade 5 is an alloy of Titanium, aluminum and vanadium.
Drop dead gorgeous ❤
Agreed this one is a beauty thanks for watching and your support
Thank you! Very high quality movement indeed.
Thanks for watching and supporting this content.
They are sadly underrated because people do see it as a fashion watch and not high horology and real watch making which it undoubtedly is. If I had the means it's just the type of complication that I'd like to own. Thank you for the opportunity to see it.
Thanks @MrPINKFLOYD, completely agree and such a shame that few see this watch for what it is. Appreciate you watching and supporting this channel.
They costs 40k lets not forget that ) not saying it's a bad watch , it's beautiful and has a great movement but not at that price. 40kbuys u a gold lange +1 Platinum GO pano limited Breguet tradition Moser stremliner in gold And much much more )
@@shaq6772 absolutely their retail price is insane but because of the brand perception and lack of visibility, on the secondary market they are available at 50% or less of retail if you can try and find one.
@themainspringer was looking for , couldn't find(
16 views at the 6 hr mark? Not sure I understand that-you are more informative and interesting than most watch channels out there. High horology from Chanel? They are in particular the fashion house that I wouldn’t trust as far as paying more for the label than the quality of the goods.
Haha thanks for your support and maybe I need to time my video releases better from a timing standpoint 😂. I agree both Chanel and LV have a fashion brand image issue making these amazing watches a bargain which is a win for collectors. Maybe it will change over time… or maybe it won’t.
the funniest part about wanting to buy this piece is that it looks completely different in every review you watch of it. Depends on the persons camera and even then it is completely different in person.
Agreed the color ranges anywhere from a light pink to grey in reality. Picture that show a strong pink are mostly over saturated pictures. Thanks for watching.
Even w/ all the new variance since this video was made the OG 2 line is still my favorite.
Absolutely agree, and with the launch of the Rolex titanium Yatchmaster almost 10 years later this still was the seed of the original innovation in true Tudor spirit. Thanks for watching.
Hi Mainspringer, do you know the reference. number for this model? It looks gorgeous!
Hi the reference is CRWGSA0054. Thanks for watching and your support.
It’s always interesting to see the OG Pelagos, because I now own the Pelagos 39. Love the blue variant
I like the OG. It was built with a very pure intent. Did not even say Pelagos. The 39 is a lovely evolution of the original watch.
I love this one. Didn’t get a chance for one but did get one of the 2023 limited (rose gold and jade). They’re very amazing and beautiful pieces.
The rose gold and jade pieces are amazing and rare good catch.
Curious to know how well the lacquer will hold up to bumps and dings.
It actually hold up really well but that said my friend is not too clumsy so he says it works for him.
This is absolutely STUNNING. Probably my preferred along with the burgundy platinum. Cartier's been on a roll in the past few years. I wish in my lifetime to be able to acquire either one of these, one of the burgundy platinums from the same series, one of the skeletonised Dumonts with the plane, or the limited Tank Chinoise Platine they released last year. Gaaah so many absolutely fantastic watches. Thanks for showing this, one of the few online who had them in their hands!
Thank you so much for watching and I am with you such fantastic watches from Cartier recently. Appreciate your support and hope you can get one. Talk to the people at the Cartier boutiques. These are all special order so you can put a deposit down for pieces you like but they don’t carry them on the shelves of the store.
Titanium is harder, but less malleable. In high impact applications titanium cracks.
A Beautiful Watch 🎉🍀🍀🕰️
Is there anyway you can give a message to your friend? If he decides to sell it I would very much be interested to try and buy it. Thank you
Will pass that on :)
thank you very much@@themainspringer
fucking beautiful
Great watch, I just wish the watch band was a little different it doesn’t seem to completely fit. Maybe a after market rubber b strap would be better.
Agreed hopefully they will improve it in the future. Thanks for watching.
How does it hold up to scratches? Both in the satin and zaratsu finish
I actually think the titanium more than the steel holds up really well to scratches. I have a few on mine but it’s not as glaring as when I get a scratch on a steel GS. Thanks for watching and your support.
@@themainspringer Thank for answering!
Where did you get this one?
Borrowed from a friend who got it from a Cartier boutique.
This will go down in history as one of the best looking watches that Cartier has made or the best ever. There’s something about this watch that makes it super special. It’s a work of art.
Completely agree. It’s rare to see this unique combination of colored explored by Cartier given that the overall watch hasn’t changed. Thanks for watching and your support.
I’m waiting for the response from local AD. Chances are they are probably sold out right? Gorgeous watch~ 🎉
Yes I would guess that might be the case. They are now catering to the watches from 2023 and this was released in 2022. Thanks for watching and your support
Looks like it will make a good women’s watch as well…
Agreed this would make a stunning ladies watch too. Thanks for watching.
