I bought some random integrated bracelet 40mm sports watch. I thought it was nice cause it ticked two boxes for me: Rose gold color and a moon phase. Unfortunately I only saw it online. Once I saw the Dial in person I was very unimpressed. Lesson learned.

What watch can I not justify...? There are far too many to list. Great video, guys.

Patrick had one job when picked up the greatest player of all time at the end of her career. That job was to convince her to lose 30-40lbs. He completely failed. If he had any integrity and respect for the game, he would have quit. His “development” of players is limited to picking up already great players and then sitting in the stands like he is responsible. Just like Nick Bolletieri. “Patrick the Poser”

Depending on what situation we’re talking about Apocalypse- Pam luminor 233. Great lume, dive capabilities, comfy Any other scenarios - Rolex day date.

Andrew let the others talk.

Absolutely stunning watch, tag Heuer are killing at the moment.

Watched a service centre taking a Zenith el primero mivement apart. The watch maker was saying how the screws are tiny, the whole movement very fragile and unnecessarily complicated. He suggested Rolex movements are work horses compared to this.. omega 8500 and new iwc in house stuff, he really dissed also. Oil drying up, rotors failng... he said that there is almost no critique like this on line, but he does not trust those brands... do you guys have any opinion on that? If and he also said the co axial movements don't really last 8 years between services. It's a bit of a gimmick .. interesting. I really wanted an iwc mark xx, or an omega, and really didn't want rolex, but found the feedback has got me thinking.... maybe an Explorer 2 after all

Totally agree... moonwatch... yuck

I saw a video on a Zenith el primero movement being taken apart at a service cave.. tiny screws, very fragile and apparently not very robust... same with Omega 8500, and the guy said modern IWC have similar issues... he was really bigging up Rolex and calling it the most "tractor" of all watches... I'm very bored of rolex, but that really made me think... do you guys have any insight on this? P.s. I wear a cwc and wanted an iwc mark xx for ages... maybe that makes me a man baby

Field / pilot. All the way

I think that more than being surprised at the Piaget, I'm more impressed about how quickly Marcus did the 180. Actually, the fact that everyone changed their impression when they got hands-on shows how open to admitting you were wrong you all were. Good stuff, all.

Holly shit!! The gold one.

Grand Seiko. Not a specific reference, the entire aesthetic. I went to a boutique and had an experience. The sales person was fantastic - didn't push or try to "sell," simply kept pace as my enthusiasm begin to grow on site sharing information about the process.

For me, it was the Submariner Hulk. I already owned the 116710ln and chose that partly because I didn’t want a black submariner like every banker. I also thought a completely green Rolex would only be worn by a tool. But when I tried it on and saw how it shimmers and goes from bright green to a dark almost black colour, I was taken. They told me it would sell within an hour, so I went to watch a movie. Couldn't focus on the movie at all because I was only thinking about the watch. Left the movie theatre and bought the watch immediately. Now I love it and have some amazing photos with it. Turns out I was also very fortunate to get one! Lesson learned, I am the tool and don't judge something before you try it.

I love the white dial submersible. I tried out both the 44mm and 42mm. For my 7" wrist, I was leaning stronger towards the 42mm. Unfortunately, as some have stated, the bezel action on the 42mm is terrible. Very loose and sloppy time setting, sounds and feels cheap, too. The 44mm feels and sounds so much better. The 42mm bezel action is rubbish and not befitting a dive watch from a brand known for dive watches at near $10k. I could make the 44mm work. but, I really feel the 42mm visually looks better. Oh, well..

Longines Hydroconquest. Barf. Terribly made, terribly designed Omega Seamaster substitute for cheap people.

I can relate. Had to smile and laugh

Bronze watches is something I never understood. Buying something that patinas, gets corrosive, and even stinks, such as bronze, was always an obvious no to me. I am happy to say I never purchased a bronze watch (and I never will).

It just proves the fact that hands on gives the complete experience of the watch....

the one i got wrong was the Tudor BB54. It all makes sense in the flesh!

I had the reverse experience with my 214270 39mm Explorer. Lusted after it for years, finally got it and spent a long disappointing year with it. Parted ways with it last week and the 36mm 124270 will be here in a couple days. Violated the rule of always see it in the metal and it cost me.

I've got the new VC 222, a VC Overseas Date in rose gold and a few other gold heavy hitters. I was initially drawn to the Polo, but trying it on back to back with my 222 I felt it was just too gaudy and trying too hard to attract attention. I feel the original slim square version would work better though. But on the main topic, I think I've only every been negatively surprised by trying on a watch, and my only regrets are the ones I bought without having held them first. As of now I'm waiting on a Czapek Promenade Goutte D’eau, ordered unseen minutes after its release, so fingers crossed that one lives up to expectations! 🤩

There's still massive distrust with Panerai. Putting lipstick on a pig comes to mind.

Mines a little boring But Cartier To dressy to small to many Romans Until I picked up a medium santos - now I own the green - totally get it. The svelte bracelet and the gradient green dial Plus the industrial look Just wow

I'm not a Hublot fan. But I saw a Hublot Classic Fusion Orlinski in blue.....blue case, blue bracelet.......and was surprised by how much I liked it. I tried it on & liked it. I even considered getting it....but didn't. Great looking funky watch but a bit too funky. But I still like it.

Ok, I’ll confess-Rolex 🫢 Been a watch nerd since the mid-nineties, started with op-shop and pawn shop vintage then gradually moved into Omega, Oris, Ulysse-Nardin, Ikepod, JLC, Grand Seiko. Rolex was for status seeking wankers! But…made an appointment with an AD in Melbourne earlier this year and fell in love. Put my name down and got a 40mm Explorer 1 last week. I can’t stop staring at it! BTW, visited the TT shop in Collins St and bought a Studio Underd0g watermelon. Changed the strap to green rubber. Fabulous! Highly recommend a visit to TT Melbourne-friendly, fun and relaxed.

Recently, I tried on the Reverso Chrono, I always thought the reverso looked odd and feminine, but the watch on wrist changed my mind indeed!!

Honestly the Time + Tide Night Surfer is a watch I am obsessed with. Ive been looking at grey market ones for months now. It’s so dope. When is the next exclusive coming???

Shout out to your boutique in Melbourne allowing us all to experience watches in the flesh that for most are online only.

My T&T night surfer fits perfect- 15cm wrist. I thought integrated was a nope , but that watch is my favourite. Btw - it’s in the ocean at night from time to time 🤘

I have two. Panerai as well. I was always a tool watch guy but deemed Panerai were the ugliest and most out of date design for a tool watch. Dismissed them for decades. Now older, I am smitten with the design of square case and round dial. And they have an appeal as a non tool watch variant. They look cool and feel good on the wrist. Cartier Santos. Never considered anything but a round dial for a watch. Square, tank, oval, or Muller/Mille abominations, need not apply. But recently found myself become a Santos groupie.

Completely agree with the Polo (but the square) it`s not for everyone but if you can pull it off it`s something special.

I’d totally written off rectangular watches. Then earlier this year tried on the Reverso Tribute in green and boy was I smitten! Guess the slow aging of my brain in the barrel I call my skull is making me more receptive to the finer things in life 😀 🍷 Also, talking of big watches.. is the white hublot gone?

Frédérique Constant Manufacture Slimline Monolithic...Bought it solely for the high frequency-oscillator and smooth second hand. Did not think I would wear as dressy a piece very often. The look and wear of this watch, however, has transformed my taste. It is one of my favorites that receives a lot of wrist time. Although not small at 40mm, it has changed my focus from >40mm to much smaller models. While I have a 7.75in wrist, I agree with Andrew that large pieces can wear you and I find myself preferring a more understated wear.

"We're all a bit on the looser side as we get older. Forgive your watch." Andrew Panerai That's the new motto for the show.

Lets go!!!!

Hanhart Preventor HD12, on the bracelet, is better than the Murph, for not much more, and well under 2K.

Boring, you wont buy this rolex gmt as a first but maybe after you own othery type of GMT.

I honestly hate "watch snobs" and these 3 guys look like that in this episode, I don't think that was the intention of the video but it seemed that way to me.

hating on field watches!!! what's up with that?!?

This was clever. Nice work.

Marcus and I would be fast friends, but those glasses are giving strong Sally Jesse Raphael vibes.

I (an American) was in Sweden at a small glass blowing studio. My wife and I decide to buy two small vases and while at the cashier, I noticed the attendant was wearing a Hublot. Me, trying to not Americanize the pronunciation, said to him while pointing at his wrist, "Oh, Hue-bleau?" And he responded, "No, I only work check out."

Being near dead, he pulled it off well.

If you'd asked me who was most likely to cause and escape an international incident before the video, I would have guessed Marcus. Well swerved, mate. Jason Isaacs is an fantastic actor. Zach - if you've not already, check out "The Death of Stalin". He's incredible in that, playing Marshall Zhukov with a broad Yorkshire accent. Hilarious. Lastly, Andrew, we've all been there. The feeling like you're about to implode, someone's wringing your guts out like a dirty dish rag. Bravo on managing to keep the videos, AND the couch flawless.

Memorable watch moment is at the moonswatch launch at Chadstone in Melbourne and being Andrew’s man on the ground… crazy experience!

Just know that before I do any interviews with watch brand reps or on-site presentation videos, I watch T&T videos the day before to match Andrew's energy levels. It's almost become a calming ritual for me. You guys rock! 💪

I only started my watch journey last year but have seen all those videos. I am learning so much and appreciate the stories. Hope to attend watch events in the future and visit one of the Time and Tide Studios! Best Wishes

That Omega video was great, I had no idea you were ill!
