      Boy's I enjoy being entertained by you both very much, the thought in the back of my head now is if you love a watch is it the pay cheque making you say that or you really do think its worth the rest of us purchasing. Your name is your brand and that is worth keeping solid.

    I’m missing a nice blue dive watch in my collection and the one I’m buying is the Longines Hydroconquest GMT. It’s absolutely fantastic. Not perfect but fantastic for the price!

  • @matt2m
    @matt2m 11 месяцев назад +2

    I love love my Longines spirit titanium it’s a tank. I’ve dropped it on accident of course because it’s my only watch that’s not on a bracelet or deployant strap. But it offers so much value grade 2 titanium with just an amazing lume on an understated hybrid nato strap. It really is a true tool watch for me I wear it without any worry at all.

    Glad you're back Adrian! Scrambling in the Rockies is a great way to re-connect with nature. Banff is lovely, was my back yard for many years. My $0.02 on most robust automatic movement: a spring drive is more robust than any watch that uses an escapement and balance wheel! Crazy the things you're asked to do as a reviewer, really appreciate you being honest about it, cheers!

    Keep up the great work AB. I feel a bit the same sometimes, Rolex this, AD's that, Swatch ??? etc etc. Let's just enjoy the beauty of the watch and keep it simple.
    Sometimes, I think should I wear this watch (its worth a lot of $$ now), what will people think about this or that, am I safe wearing it.....
    And then I just try to remember how I felt the moment I brought the watch and loved it wearing it. The beauty is in the simple things. And in todays world let's just be kind to each other.

Maybe you could combine your passion for watches with some photography work and start a completely new niche in the YT saturated market...drone, work, close up camera work, epic locations with watches as the subject? Anyway keep up the good work, always refreshing to see your stuff :)

    It's good to hear from you Adrian, I enjoy your insights into the mid and upper market watch world. Back in May last year I bought a Longines full carbon Hydro Conquest at a very substantial discount and I just love it, yes, it's a bit bigger than the normal 'Hydro Conquests' are, but being all black, it doesn't look like it's that big.

    Banff!!! My goodness but that's a beautiful place. My family took a brief one week vacation in Canmore & Banff in March. One of the best times of my life and certainly the best outdoors experiences I've ever had. We did tubing at Norquay and dogsledding. Unforgettable experiences… totally exhilarating and in one of the most exquisite landscapes I've ever visited.
    Thanks for what you do and congrats for doing it in such a magnificent venue!

With regard to Rolex, the 32xx movements are having far more problems than the extremely robust movements of the past, especially the 31xx series. The Rolex Forums have a long and detailed thread noting these issues, so anyone thinking about buying a newer Rolex should be aware of this.

      @@georgejung1989 I don’t think they are trying to draw any conclusions only to share with others what’s been reported in many forums about the new movement. It’s good we all share negative info that may otherwise be suppressed. Some people may not have heard this, others may have and bought anyway. I heard this and read the forums but bought my Explorer anyway and so far been lucky! 🙌🙌

    Hey Adrian, I just ran across the fact the nato name was trademarked about a decade ago. I was skipping through my subs quickly this evening so may have missed the fact you already know about this situation, but FYI if you haven't heard about such a thing. I know it was certainly new to me.
    Beautiful area your in there. Back in my 35mm days I was blessed to own both M-series and R series Leica. I never souped the film myself, but did enjoy enlarging with some decent equipment with the how to develop, stop and fix still in my head.
    Take care and I look forward to your content.

    Hi Adrian,
    Looks like you are having a great time. i really enjoy your videos and honesty. I recall a number of years ago you posted a video of you Dad's vintage Omega Seamaster, which I found interesting. I subsequently purchase a similar watch while visting my son in America. It is a vintage (1963), Seamaster De Ville, solid 14K yellow gold in very good condition. The seller said that servicing was not necessary, since the watch is running well. However, when I returned to the UK and after doing some research and timegrapher readings, I decided to have the watch serviced by a Master Watchmaker specialising in vitage watches (not cheap) and he did a great job. I recall you saying that Omega advised not to service your Dad's watch. I must say, I have had mixed messages from Omega and am not overly impressed. I am led to believe that it is easier to sell a new watch than to undertake servicing of vitage pieces, which is time consuming and requires specific expertise. I gather you are well into the watch business now and just wondered what your thoughts are.
    All the best and I look forward to future videos.
