Hi guys! Thank you for checking out today's video. What was your first automatic watch? Let me know here in the comments, and make sure to be subscribed because I have a feeling next week's video will be pretty fun...also follow me on Instagram if you don't yet! Cheers
Great video as aways. I particularly appreciated the point about servicing Orient watches. I was considering one before watching this video. Five additional points one might consider: 1. Is the watch automatic or mechanical (buyers should know the difference) 2. Does it have hacking and handwinding (both very useful) 3. What is the power reserve? 4. How accurate is the movement? (Hacking is essential for less accurate movements) 5. Does being able to actually see the movement appeal to you? (in which case, you might want a watch with an open heart or exhibition caseback) And I can't recall if you noted this, but folks should know that automatic watches are considerably less accurate than quartz watches (the most expensive auto Rolex is less accurate than a cheap quartz Timex).
Great points! Especially the one about the power reserve, a specification that I feel is often overlooked but that I consider very important Also, the accuracy factor is one of the biggest differences between quartz and mechanical, so yeah that's vital too
Wow. Can't believe all this is coming from a 22 year old. Keep up the good work. I really enjoy your videos. Quality and content is on par with other big watch channels. Not leaving without a sub!!🙂
good tips. completely agree with the value of widely used, easily serviceable movements. the only thing id add is dont get focused on resale value. buy what you like, not what will recuperate money best if you dont.
For my first automatic watch I went for a longines Hydroconquest. A good mixture of luxury with brand name recognition but also didn’t break the bank to bad. I was probably your age when I got it so for me then it was a lot of money and I saved up a real long time
Enjoyed your video. It's okay to be broke As long as you're not woke :) And one more thing... when people spend a shitload of money on some things they don't really need that is exactly the opposite of them having everithing else in their lives figured out :) a lot of times collecting things is just another way of escaping (real life problems). That's true concerning myself too, i try to keep an acceptable balance. Luckily my finances help me a lot (as little money help you not to get carried away and keep you off the high horse).

Wow, thanks a lot! These sort of comments always make my day

Absolutely, investment watches are a minefield

Well a hydroconquest as a first automatic is great.
Enjoyed your video.
