Spotlight Watch Review
США
Добавлен 24 ноя 2015
My goal is to delve into the beauty of timekeeping & wristwatches. I am selling absolutely NOTHING here, and am not telling you to buy from any particular retailer. I will however give you my personal opinion of the "worth" vs MSRP and average selling prices, but where you buy your new watch is left up to you and your own research. Enjoy!
The most amazing Titanium watch you don’t know about!
I spent the duration of this video preventing myself from squealing from excitement like a little child. I am a massive fan of Mechanical Exploration and love the one I bought a little over a month ago (and reviewed) in black PVD stainless steel. Now I have the chance to come out here and show the upcoming fully titanium version of the MS1001, and I’m pretty stoked about it.
Along with the review, I will be discussing some of the questions I asked Jason, the owner of MECEXP, that I think most will find interesting.

Aragon Divetank 40mm is a 500m beast
Просмотров 1 тыс.14 дней назад
Aragon has the right idea, take popular models and make them in a regular and a large size so that nobody feels left out when they see a design that they like. The Divetank is a square diver offered in both 40mm and in 48mm. For the little guys and the monsters out there. Powered by the popular SII NH35 movement and exhibiting a blast of vibrant color with its teal sunray finished dial, it’s an...
I guess I have a new favorite brand. This gorgeous diver sealed it.

Another home run in my opinion, the Dumas GMT by Spinnaker has a stunning degree of finish work that simply is t captured by photography, making this a wonderful surprise in-hand. They offer so many incredible color choices in all of their watches, so it can be challenging to choose just one.

Stalingrad Defender - Titanium
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.28 дней назад
Stalingrad Watches. It’s an unusual name choice for a watch brand, especially one from Hong Kong, but it’s not a disappointing watch for the price. At $299, you’re getting all titanium construction with a Fluororubber strap and a sapphire crystal on a 200 meter diver. The dial is honestly the next big reason you’re buying this aside from the titanium. It’s got a wonderful topography. I’d this a...
Winfield Watch Co. MT5 Parabellum- The watch that’ll put hair on your…..
Просмотров 46928 дней назад
There are a ton of poser watches out there. Trying to be “tactical-cool”, look rugged and beefy, look like they live up to the toughness of our everyday gear, but then you get it in your hand and the case feels hollow because it’s to lightweight, the case size is made for a girl, and the lume sucks. But they’ll have a cool name on it and a cool story behind it. Well, Winfield Watch Company has ...
Aragon Watch Silverjet

Aragon Watch is a long-standing brand which originated over 3 decades ago under its previous branding. Over that time, they have developed their own unique DNA, and while so many brands have cannibalized each others designs, Wing Liang, the founder and designer has focused on creating watches that speak a different language altogether. The Silverjet originally debuted in a massive 50mm version,...
The cyberpunk watch: MECEXP (Mechanical Exploration) MS1001. Linear Flyback.
Просмотров 1 тыс.Месяц назад
As a collector, we often search out quirky, unique and complex ideas that a casual watch wearer wouldn’t even consider. They’re not always practical and they’re not styled to be “for everybody”, but they’re fun and excite something inside of us because of innovation, design or craziness in general. This watch, the MS-1001 by Mechanical Exploration is ALL of that in one watch. A truly unique and...

An affordable auto with Tritium? RGMT Tritium Automatic

Not life changing, and not wildly exciting, but instead, a good, solid inexpensive watch that should get the job done for a good long time. Easily worth the selling price, they’re available direct from the manufacturer, like many popular micro brands.

A grail complication I didn’t think I could own - Nubeo Watches Skylab.
Просмотров 230Месяц назад
Get on the carousel, buddy. This thing is WILD. I have sworn off large watches long ago, but I’m easily making an exception for a complication I’ve wanted for 20 years. As I mention in the video, only a handful of brands have offered a wandering hours complication for what we might consider an “affordable price”, and the Skylab is one of the lowest prices I’ve ever seen. But, what’s the quality...
Spinnaker Fleuss GMT Automatic - my favorite diver?
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.2 месяца назад
The colors drew me in, the quality keeps it in my collection. The Spinnaker Fleuss GMT Automatic. It doesn’t break new ground, but it is a solid, well made and gorgeous daily wear GMT with a lot of flexibility right out of the box. They make a 3-hand auto and a GMT auto in the Fleuss model, so there’s a huge variety of colorways to choose from. You can see them all here on Spinnaker’s website: ...

Ritmo Mundo Quantum 1: Bold and wild
Hi! Which one would you say is more legible to read the numerals at a glance. The SS or the TI version? Given the difference of the colored and superluminova of the SS vs the brushed numerals on the TI. And what about in low light with the backlight activated? Would you say one performs better over the other as well as far as reading the time?
Definitely the steel versions with the colored numerals, in all situations.
The numbers glow on the yellow one.
I will get mine (titanium version) soon. Can’t wait. :D Wow. I was considering buying a Sinn U50. I thought the bad lume on my Sinn 556 A was because it is not a dive watch. But if the lume on their dive watches is also so bad, I should consider not buying it. O_o 🕐⚙️🍸
Just ordered one!
I Couldn’t agree with you more…I get sick and tired of Watch reviewers saying “Oh this Watch is oversized at 44mm and you have to have a massive wrist to pull it off” Absolute BS! There’s no right or wrong, Just wear what you want no one gives a shit anyways. 🙏
Exactly. It’s a shame that so many microbrands cower to the mob mentality and change what they do to appease the loudest voices.
Nice! I have the Yellow / PVD variant, and it is Awesome!! As an owner for about 2 weeks, this Ti version might be next for me! ❤
Oh if only you'd have kept your yellow 1st gen SKZ203. limited edition of 300 and fetching over $3000. Great video btw and that 781 is a beautiful NOS piece from your friend. Ive owned every model ever released.
Me podrian decir por favor que modelo es exactamente ??? Muchas gracias amigos
Spinnaker Watches Dumas GMT. Link is in the video description
@@JimSkeltonKnives debe ser muy nuevo..vi el tutorial y me encantaria comprarlo es muy hermoso gracias hermano...quisiera saber si hay stock disponible muchas gracias
I have three Helms. Vanuatu and two khuraburi. I gave one Khuraburi to my son and he doesn't take it off. My biggest problem is which one to wear, so I wear both every day. One in the morning, the other in the evening, and only the replacement of the leather fabric belt... everything suits them. It would be easier for me if they had one model. And waiting... Every second is worth it.
ISO certifided for this price ??????
I have both of the SKX monsters. The SKX779 and the SKX781. They are mainstays in my collection. I don't have the SKZ or SRP monsters (yet). I have added the MM300 ti/steel ratcheting clasp to mine. Makes wearing them very nice with on the fly adjust. Cheers!!
That winding mech is so cool. Never seen that before. May have to go buy this watch just...well, just because! LOL
That watch has wrist presence. Cheers!!
Too bad the Air Blue aviator brand is gone.
They have the best muted color ways going! Good stuff brother 👊🏻
Love it🔥
I just received their bronze version of this watch. Only complaint: Should use clear AR on the crystal. I don't mind the 8215. Mine hacks. Cheers!!!
I loved that intro song. I had a Dumas on the mesh bracelet a few years ago. Best "built" mesh bracelet, worst "engineered" mesh bracelet. The keeper and the tail of the strap always flopped around. Always caught on everything. Cheers!!!
Ohhhh. That’s good info, Thank you for that. I guess I won’t bother trying to find and purchase that bracelet for an extra option, that would drive me nuts.
There are RUclips videos on that bracelet.@@SpotlightWatchReview
New subscriber. Not sure how I missed your channel. A quick scan of your videos, love the assortment!!! I ordered an Aragon, my wife stole it. The 42mm Purple Divemaster with the Ronda R150 auto. She has "stolen" a few of mine over the years. A couple that collects watches together, stays together! Cheers from Atlantic Canada!!!
Not sure market needs another GMT but it does look nice at least
Good like this but 40mm?
All alternatives wacth are great design but size doesnt help
Ahhh say earlier is 44mm 😅 if is 40 o 41mm maybe better
@@calindor19 if it was 40mm, it won’t be on my channel. I can’t wear such a tiny watch.
Ooof that music.... Hard to sit out....

@@SpotlightWatchReview Oh i did.
@@baandoptager good, glad you did what made you happy.

The addiction is real. Spinnaker needs to help with import fees. I paid extra $120 Canadian. SteelDives Watchdives Phoibos and Long Islander watches got it where customer doesn’t pay import fees. Now I have 3 Spinnaker watches they are amazing. But the charges extra for import fees. I could have bought another spinnaker watch
@@alfredogama9791 wow that’s terrible to hear. I don’t understand how the other brands are able to eliminate import fees for you though. I didn’t know there was a way around that. What country are you in??
@@SpotlightWatchReview The sellers from Ali just change the price. So if you receive a $1 product, you don't pay taxes.
@@mvm006 ahhhh. I don’t know the legality of actions like that, so they might not want to risk breaking the law. No idea, just a guess.
@@SpotlightWatchReview Canada Ontario
@@mvm006 thanks for the tip
Great tune for watch guys. 😁
I'm struggling to understand how this is $179
Only master wing can do it.
Music sucks, don't play music at all
@@lovablevietboy shhhhh. No
If you like this watch, you should totally check out Out of order watches. I bought the spritz, love it.
Good call, they’re already on my radar. Thank you.
Your putting the effort to create original (good) songs for every review is commendable!!! Great stuff, man! I liked the Spinnaker song the best- because of the “hide another purchase the wife” thing. I truly laughed hard😁
Thank you, I appreciate that. I’m glad some people are enjoying the silly songs. And I agree, the Spinnaker song is one of my favorites too, along with the one I did for the MECEXP video.
That voice sounds a lot like Jim Skelton! What the blade behind that pocket clip at the startJim?! lol (I’ve watched a lot of your knife videos in the past, hope you’re well)
@@Ashxn lol Thank you. Glad you found your way over here!
This one reminds me of the NFW Autopilot that George Fox designed years ago. I'm not a fan of the faux lug head screws or silicone lint magnet straps and K1 mineral crystal. Most of my watches from Wing using mineral crystal have developed fog under the crystals and they have never been near water or moisture. All the models I own with sapphire from Wing have never hazed up.
Wing continues to produce some of the most unique watches for the money I really don't see a ton of competition one of my favorites from the good ole days is my ceramic tourbillon the white variant it still looks like new and it gets alot of wrist time even this week Anyways another killer review my friend Be well and Keep em coming 👍
@TrapVision3D did a video and Short of the blue dial with blue bezel on the bracelet 🔥
My favorite brand, hands down
How do you get these songs for these watches Jim? They are great!!
AI
@@richardjablonski5893 Thank you. I write the lyrics and have an ai program that performs them.
I write the songs and AI performs them.
Great wouldn't be my descriptor
Where are they made ?
@@vladonweb1 the brand is based in the UK, but I believe the manufacturing is out of Hong Kong.
Crazy as it sounds I adore the mauve color. I’m buying one of these. Also ox blood 😍
@@shamelessplace11 not crazy at all, I love that colorway. Honestly, making the choice between colors is the only hard part about buying any of their watches. I could easily wear 3-4 variants of every model.
@@SpotlightWatchReview amen brother!!!!!
Do they do a 38- 40 diameter
@@davidokeefe8346 In the Croft, yes. But not in the Dumas.
Thank you just looking at the Croft now never looked at this brand before but for the money they look good 👍
@@davidokeefe8346 after now owning two, I can say that yes they are. This will end up being a rabbit hole for me.
The song is my life.
That song is pure gold haha!!!
Nice song
Nice one, mate!
When people are saying AMZWATCH is a better option for buying a watch,I very much agree!
Still have not found any reason I would need a GMT complication. It is a nice watch though.
Well, then lucky for you that the Dumas is offered in a standard 3-hand auto as well 👍
“ the best way to survive is to hide it from your wife “ Words of wisdom indeed;)
Got 20 Aragons!!! 👍😊💥
I wish they had Miyota movements.
Me too. I love my spinnaker fleuss, but i‘m a little fed up with the NH35 in all those affordable Microbrands. Why no high beat Miyota?
Try the spence by this brand.
Also size smaller like 40mm
Ha, love it.
Not into that brand. Dumb ass? Cool watch tho.
