It does add a certain credibility to his perspective... particularly in the field of horology. However, he doesn't rely on those awful intro videos where he bounces around like an instagram bitch (you know the channel I'm talking about).
Can’t speak for everyone, but I personally would prefer the occasional ads and your honest and independent views, to the sponsored content we see elsewhere, or, even worse, you give up on the channel. Everyone else? Thoughts, for and against?
I agree . There is a kickstarter watch ( 24 hours to go and 25K short ) that has been reviewed absolutely everywhere by all the mega channels . Lovely dials, shit quartz movement at @ $220 . You must have seen it reviewd everywhere .
Tim excellent recommendation, its a reference guide/book therefore the quality printing layout issues can be overlooked, the content is highly pertinent when purchasing a vintage a timepiece & makes the $40USD after the discount you have arranged for the guide seems inexpensive, as one mistake on a purchase is very costly. Great VLOG & thanks for the useful information.
Books cost money in the west . In Canada a paper back is $10 / $15 . A hard cover is $40 . We get ripped off . Sales tax is 13 %. . Keep up the good videos Tim !
Ads in videos don't bother me at all, but generally I'm still leary about buying vintage watches. Always enjoy your content Tim, keep up the good work! Thanks!
I’m amazed anyone would search for such things.... I gave my 40 year old Submariner to my daughter like it was almost a throwaway item. She wanted it because it was mine, but the new Rolexes are made better..... Thanks, looking very dapper today.
Hi Tim. You're probably the only watch guy I know who doesn't sound like an informational. That is very rare, so keep it up. 50 bucks is reasonable in my opinion, Tim. Any academic ish book cost a lot. On it's own merit, the information gathering and fact checking is considerable. The author has probably (but I don't know), spent years researching this field .I'm saying all this based on my own background in history consulting.
Always a pleasure. Have a great weekend. Also, and I know there are many German watches, but one of my favorites is the Sinn 556 series, especially the no-date ones with the applied indices, and at 38.5 dial-wise probably suitably for you, though perhaps too 'tooly'. My point? I'd love to see you do something on the 556. Should you be so inclined. In any case, thanks. I'm almost always entertained, and always charmed. And always looking forward to seeing what you might get up to next. Always a pleasure.
Seiko has some very nice watches that look just like a Rolex. The quality is very high . They will cost around $ 600 . Look at a Seiko Sarb . Save your money .
No, the forgers and other criminals in the fake watch industry are mostly chinese and east european, who are lazy as fuck. They can't be bothered to read that big book so don't worry.
Hello Tim as per usual another great video! You have a relaxed but professional style which is hard to emulate. Btw I have recently made a video on buying a 2nd hand Seiko in New Zealand if you are interested in hearing a kiwi perspective. At some point I will do one on my vintage watches from the 70s. Kia kaha! (keep up the good work! [In Maori])
Vintage divers are often in a very bad shape, no matter witch brand you buy. Getting new parts is almost impossible. If you can live with the scratches and dings, certina diver are not that expensive
Jesus Christ I love this guy - calls out the fact that if you're a little bit broke - why are you buying a Rolex Submariner.... Anyone putting on a tie and jacket to do a RUclips video deserves to a view or ten thousand....
Seen a Nice Preowned 2 Tone Date Just today at a small local Jewelry Shop with Box & Papers. If I could get it for 2300 there should be some money left in it.
If you don’t want ads then get a well informed friend that will talk to you about watches... not so easy huh! Find a real issue to complain about.... 🤭
You are one of the most honest guys on RUclips . No bull shit . So I put up with the ads . Thanks Tim .
David Coleman .....and he’s always impeccably dressed!

"If you are a little bit broke, why are you watching a video on how to buy a vintage Rolex Submariner..." ROTFL 😂
Exactly! Great point.
One of my favorite watch channels...

Enjoy these. I tend to consider a "Frankenwatch" a bit loosely.

Love your videos. Everytime you say 'wintage', I get a smile on my face.
Oh my, I'm reading that book, great source.

Consistently good videos on this channel.
And the host is always glad, when you show up with your avatar! ;-)
It's the first time I am the first one to like a video in RUclips :)
Congratulations, Dimitrios! ;-)
Great review. Now that I have ordered the book, let's see how long it takes to get to Franconia ;-)

Anything out of the ordinary is always interesting
Great video. Could you do a review on the popular Tissot Visodate Automatic, would be very interresting to see.:)

Buy a semi-vintage sub like a 16800 with a sapphire crystal, the price is still acceptable and relatively easy to find in original conditions.
Should have been a hardcover ! Great informative watch books sell whatever the price !
Well a softcover is handy to quickly search something while a hardcover is great to have a thorough read with a glass of wine.
2020 saw the publication of the hardcover version: VRFM - Vintage Rolex Field Manual Chevalier Edition ( by Colin White )
Gerade bestellt - bin jetzt echt mal gespannt....
Hat tip to the guy who wrote that book. However, it'll be a great manual for forgers too...

The title has a little typo at the begging. Love the content 🙂
Ooops! Thank you. Will fix that asap. Edit: Fixed. Such a silly mistake!
@@CasebackWatches the silly ones slip by you because you never expect to make them. Just how it goes haha

Ginault Ocean Rover is probably the biggest bang for the buck for a sub homage.
I'm literally eating Reese's Pieces wearing an Invicta watching this video aspiring to buying a Prospex LX SNR025

With the original bracelet? That would be a really good price.
can tolorate the ads
Tried thrice to buy a hard copy. I got a daft error message. I give up. Good luck making a million.
Tim from "OmegaAddict" restores vintage pieces and stands behind his work 100%. Check him out
