Nonsense about the Speedy reduced. Had mine for decades and serviced many times. No issue at all. I don’t know why people keep repeating that myth. It’s also the most accurate mechanical watch I own.
Have you been put off buying AP at all by their recent collabs and seeming departure from their historical roots? You discussed this a bit on the video you did discussing the Travis Scott watch but I was interested in if it would impact your future watch purchasing? I have been put off entirely and that is a shame as I love AP but they just seem to have gone down a road I don't want to follow them down and this isn't only because of the Travis Scott watch.
For some reason gold on rubber to me is like taking a public bus to the airport to take a private plane. Both things that happen more often than you would think.
I wore a vintage Must de Cartier for a month long holiday in Japan; vermeil, manual wind, lacquer dial. Clambered up mountains with it, went boating with it, even used a katana with it on, had 0 issues. If you're just the slightest bit conscious of what you're doing, take the smallest amount of care, then you can do basically anything with a vintage watch with the exceptions Christian mentioned. Vintage watches are just so, so nice to own.
I love how a yellow gold sub is a “jerk off” watch but buying a white gold GMT and making sure every one of your viewers knows it’s white gold and not steel isn’t a jerk off move lol. For the record, I don’t think either are jerk off moves but your inconsistencies are comical
The “are you fat?” impression edit that cuts to you seriously saying “anyways, vintage… talking seriously about vintage watches is the best edit of any RUclips watch channel in 2023. Macro shots be damned.
Any chance there's going to be a video on the Breitling ownership group's purchase of Universal Geneve? I would love to hear your take on what can be...and how it can also be disappointing.
a SPACEVIEW sucks to own. I got mine serviced last year, took like 6 or 7 months, and this little shit broke in the same way AGAIN last week. It's getting repaired under warranty, but fuck my life!
The stuff about using meters for WR is strange unless you follow Omega. I would be better to use pool-style simple images, placed on the caseback to convey that message. It’s direct and to the point: “you can swim with this”
Micheal doesn’t talk about it here but he runs his own clothing brand and RUclips channel “the iron snail” and is most likely very busy with that on top of all the other video work he does on the side. Sam is most likely here to fill in those gaps
Guys i Miss Sam , tbh I’ve gotten used to him now(not hating the new guy Michael) just joking of course but for real episodes with Michael and Sam would be insanely enjoyable and I would binge watch all of them
I agree with almost everything except moonswatch. I think moonswatch is absolutely amazing. It's a fun fashion watch that somewhat resembles an Omega Speedmaster and it's not some Chinese "homage", its actually a legit piece. Would it ever be a proper Speedmaster? Absolutely not. Can you have fun with that watch - absolutely yes. Of course if you bought this watch because you think it's a Speedmaster or even worse, you've bought it over retail it's gonna suck to own, but at that rate i think you have a bigger problems in life and probably you should buy yourself some therapy sessions instead of fashion watches.
What sucks to own to me is watches with uncommon lug widths or lugs that limit your strap options. I didnt know 1mm would make for so much frustration. I like options so for most cases an integrated bracelet watch would suck to own for me. The Moonswatch is just a moment. I like mine. Button fell off. Glued it back on. One day it will stop working all together. It's just fun to have some color. The only suck is that it makes me want Omega to make yellow and red ceramic speedmasters which they likely never will.
The one that sucks to own: the one that "got away." The one concern I have about saving for the dream watches, even if it takes a while, is if the market shifts and suddenly it becomes the "hot watch" to have. The price can rise faster than I can save, until it's simply out of reach.
my cleaning lady washed my shirt with a vintage dress Longines in the pocket and one wash was all it took to destroy it. a modern Tudor or omega would have survived.
Dunno if he bought directly from G.C, maybe he did a few swaps to knock down the wholesale price from another dealer. Or else Christian's just doing well for himself and/or the IRS is searching for him.
Hands up for the Speedy Reduced! Not settling at all - it’s one of my less expensive pieces. But I absolutely love my panda Marui. Spent over a year hunting for a nice example.
Love you guys, I have to say a lot of the watch commentators automatically take a negative vibe on the moon swatch. I’m wearing one right now and trust me, I’ve got multiple Daytonas… so why? Because it’s fun. Because I love the design of the moon watch. They come in different colors. I even like their cheap ass straps. My family will pick up one or two when we’re on a vacation and we wear them thinking about that vacation. So… Using your own logic. If it could cost hundreds or thousands of dollars for a part on a vintage watch, why would you bark at a couple hundred dollars for a disposable watch. Also, this whole notion of a disposable watch, everything‘s disposable and one way or the other. These things don’t literally fall apart like everybody says they do. I think my family we probably have about eight of them and we wear them all the time sometimes for a family picture, so far there have been no buttons falling off. And… I feel like these watch, influencers all love to rag on the moon watch and they just totally mess. What a brilliant marketing move this was. Let’s get people into watches. They only have a couple of hundred dollars? Here’s an easy way to spend some time with a classic. Do you like it? Someday commit to buying a real one

Who's the new guy?
Rumor is that Theo had to go into witness protection after he called out the timepiece gentleman.
@@puck8434I thought Harris was the one in witness protection…
@@puck8434 puck what are you talking about 😂
Isn't that Rollie?
@@puck8434Theodore Harrison
I almost want to cry; Michael is back :D
There’s a gold Royal Oak 36mm in the Hodinkee shop for 36k right now! Has Christian’s name all over it!
He’s back yo!!!
"Hopefully a girl will compliment me on it".... I was dying
Nonsense about the Speedy reduced. Had mine for decades and serviced many times. No issue at all. I don’t know why people keep repeating that myth. It’s also the most accurate mechanical watch I own.
Amen. I just had my speedy triple date serviced by my watchmaker and it cost me 1/3 of the purchase price. And I don’t care because I love it.

Man, does it suck to own a Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon.
Michael!!!
Congratulations on the new watch 👍
Michael in bathroom polishing this tiny thing is something that should not be heard. 😂
They should play a game... How many times can they slip "Cape Cod" into a single show?
Michael where fuck have you been !
Bring back sam
Glad to have Michael back. Videos aren’t the same without him
I thought that was Harris
That's Harris.
Thats totally Harris bro
that's harris.
He was never gone.
Yay! Michael is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank god! Michael we missed you dude.
Yay! Harris is back
I’m glad that Harris is back!
LOL Harris I love it
I'm back watching Harris shows cuz he's gone again and I miss him even more.
Also 6:08 is Theo rubbing one out here to make a point?
@@jackblah5842 can't be unseen
3:04 Michael’s sweater is the only statement. Glad to have you back ! 🎉
Dale of Norway! 🇳🇴
Dudes, Michael’s funny as F.
I think it’s really Michael’s humor that I really love, which is why a lot of people are probably having a hard time with Sam.
Sam is duller than a butter knife.
Sam is new to the channel, give him time to get comfortable before judging a person's personality based on videos you see on screen@@golfinguru11
For some reason gold on rubber to me is like taking a public bus to the airport to take a private plane. Both things that happen more often than you would think.
I really enjoyed this video. Watched from beginning to end. More of this please. I like these two together.
Omg Michael is back!
Harris is back!

I think sam works in a trio format, not the duo. Great to have Michael back!
Yay Michael is back bay bee!
THANK GOD HES BACK

Christian fully acknowledges and owns his 'jerk-off' tendencies and is the source of much laughter for us all.
Insecurity literally steams off the guy on the right. Probably because small man syndrome
Prefer Michael over Sam. Sorry
Thank God. I don’t watch this channel anymore due to that new guy. Cringy. Good to see Michael.
My 1975 Datejust is incredible. Basically bulletproof, surprises me all the time.
I wear my ceramic Sub everywhere and I'm a poor.
Michael!!! Glad he didn’t go the way of Anna
The “are you fat?” impression edit that cuts to you seriously saying “anyways, vintage… talking seriously about vintage watches is the best edit of any RUclips watch channel in 2023. Macro shots be damned.
Michael is alive!! Praise the Lord!
Harris is back!! Yes 🙌
Any chance there's going to be a video on the Breitling ownership group's purchase of Universal Geneve? I would love to hear your take on what can be...and how it can also be disappointing.
8:10 Michael is a national treasure
that sweater must suck to own lol...reminds me of the Swedish mountain man shop owner with the sauna in Frozen
I only watch when Michael is there.
Seen Michael in the thumbnail…clicked like even before watching the video! Welcome back!!!
Sam got a new watch LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Those Sea Wolves are super tempting. I really liked the ceramic ones, but I just wasn't into the colors.
a SPACEVIEW sucks to own. I got mine serviced last year, took like 6 or 7 months, and this little shit broke in the same way AGAIN last week. It's getting repaired under warranty, but fuck my life!
I usually tap out within a minute if Michael isn't part of the video. Sorry, these videos just don't hold my interest w/o him.
The reason gold watches suck to own is the reaction when Michael mentioned it cost 70k
Both of you are 1000% right; it’s why I haven’t bought the blue Black Bay, my heart is really set on owning a Smurf one day
Micheal Micheal Micheal!!
Micheal Micheal Micheal!!
I can't make sense of Christian owning a 100k dollar watch and at the same time shilling a $10 podcast monthly subscription
Yo Mikey 🎉
The stuff about using meters for WR is strange unless you follow Omega. I would be better to use pool-style simple images, placed on the caseback to convey that message. It’s direct and to the point: “you can swim with this”
What a great surprise to wake up and see a new T&H video! Love you guys.
Happy holidays🎄
You guys should make t shirts that say “bring Michael back”
Welcome back Harris 🎉
could you talk about Baltic in the next video? It's a really interesting micro brand from france!
LET'S GOOOOO HARRIS IS BAAAACK
Mikey boy is all the sauce
Micheal doesn’t talk about it here but he runs his own clothing brand and RUclips channel “the iron snail” and is most likely very busy with that on top of all the other video work he does on the side. Sam is most likely here to fill in those gaps

Christian is turning into Donald Trump in his mannerisms. 😂
Wait till he starts talking about china 😂😭
Bob Dole
Great to have Michael back.
😂 You disproved nothing. You essentially said, "these watches DO suck to own, but i don't mind that for XYZ reasons."
I CAN NOT WAIT for a deep dive video in to that Gerald Charles. Absolutely the most stunning piece I've seen in the last ten years imo
Harris is back!! 😊
I get rid of them if I don't like them...I have the shop at theo & Harris 😂😂😂
Bring back Harris, I’m so confused
I agree with almost everything except moonswatch. I think moonswatch is absolutely amazing.

Ceramicist joke was underappreciated
That sweater! 😊
Never clicked on a video so fast
"I'm Christian, curator of the T & H watch shop"
"I'm Michael............."

How is Theo buying 100k watches 🤯
I have absolutely no idea. Is selling vintage watches that lucrative?
Next time piece gentlemen
Inheritance
Dunno if he bought directly from G.C, maybe he did a few swaps to knock down the wholesale price from another dealer. Or else Christian's just doing well for himself and/or the IRS is searching for him.
I thought he owned a non-watch-related marketing business too.
Great discussion as always. Thanks guys!
Hands up for the Speedy Reduced!
Not settling at all - it’s one of my less expensive pieces.
But I absolutely love my panda Marui. Spent over a year hunting for a nice example.
If you think a compromise watch sucks, imagine a compromise spouse.
Finally!!!! Mike is back.
Sam is great but as a long time Michael simp, its nice to have our boy back
Finally!! Harris is back!!!!
2:13 a perfect example of why we can't let go of Michael
Great pick on that watch absolutely stunning, so different
17:33 Hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I would choose to stop hyping Rolex the Mercedes of the watch world
Michael and Sam videos seem like they would be enjoyable
Can't believe I'll see Christian to wear the toned down outfit in a video.
Michael is back!
Got to ask what are the undecies held on with ? Is there a specific glue?
I have never in my life seen two people more in need of a barber than these two...

A garbage watch is a garbage watch. If you like it, fine
The concession watch is the worst.. True for most things in life.
Michael dropped the watch when he saw the naked girlfriend
Lmao i love the sea train joke
Welcome back Harris
Great watch insights, keep them coming! 👏👍
