Can’t tell you how much I look forward to these videos. The info provided is 2nd to none. I wish I talked about ANYTHING with the same passion that Tim talks about watches!
This made my day! Presenting these watches is a pure passion for me, and these shows easily are the highlight of my job. Thank you for supporting the show! Best, Tim
I agree. Tim is probably one of the few number of reasons that has truly grown my love for these little machines. I have learned so much simply listening to this man school me.
Would prefer that Blancpain fifty fathoms over any rolex sub. Just a badass watch. Wow never seen a FP like that, beautiful dial. The Omega annual calendar looks better onscreen than the photos. Great Show as usual Tim!
I always thought the rose gold Fifty Fathoms should have a bronze dial and almond dial printing. I really like CFB and you’re definitely right, the ScubaTec is the most underrated dive watch made.
That particular GS is my favorite GS of them all. The 40mm Rolex Sea-Dweller overall the best pro diver out there. The Omega Globemaster with the tungsten bezel and that dial, my favorite Omega model. And finally that special edition Moon Watch...stunning!
Omega had a strong day on the show. I usually end with one monster complication or rarity, but those three Omegas collectively seemed like a fine themed finale with many highlights. I share your enthusiasm for the steel/tungsten Globemasters. Best, Tim
7:07 - That Remontoir Deadbeat seconds tourbillon from F.P. Journe.... oh my god.... the most fascinating, and one of the most beautiful watches I've seen on your channel. Definitely in the top 5 most incredible pieces for sure. Wow.
The Rolex 16600 is the way to go in to the blue , they can not even fake the helium valve as well . Hey Timo , do you think is a collectable one?.. thank you ,very nice video as always. RR
I’ve had my eye on a few Bucherer watches for a while now; they just seem to provide so much watch for the money. The Scubatech unfortunately is a tough sell, seeing as both the Oris Aquis and Omega 300M offer excellent specs for less money.
Great video, they all are fabulous pieces.. But that will not easy to pick only one... Tim, for you, black, white,or blue dials.. which one is main stream of today?
I feel like the AP day date moonphase is a very undervalued watch, those 36mm are simply perfect and with the slim profile is good as a sporty and as a classic. Cant find one in good condition so i've bought something else but one day i'll get one 👌🏻
Thanks, Randy. I never felt like the website was fast enough or searchable enough. It's almost as though it was designed to look good first and function second. Collectors like ourselves generally prize speed and search tools over graphics. In the end, only the watches matter, so who cares how the front page background looks, right? Best, Tim
@@the1916companywatchreviews Exactly! I"m glad to hear someone else feels that way to. I thought it was just me. Truth be told, anymore when I'm cruising on line for a certain watch , I will usually skip watchbox for convience sake.
Well, that would make me nervous. Did Vacheron not apply for the Geneva Seal because the not very certain and clear rule with the caped colum wheel... (seriously?) or is the whole dial side and everything you cannot see unfinished. Patek forever.
Vacheron has no history of blanket Geneva hallmark certification. Until the mid-2000s, it was common for many -- even most -- display caseback VC watches to be finished to an extremely high standard without the seal. I've inspected the watches at 10x, and they leave nothing to be desired. Best, Tim
@@the1916companywatchreviews Thank you Tim! Can I ask you what you found with this 1815? You mentioned some parts have not been finished to the highest standard. Or only the gold plated rotor? In case you go to SIHH you should suggest a Lange seal for long term confidence in the brand.
Awesome show as usual Tim and great job for the team on putting the pricing in the description really helps :) I have to say my favorite has to be the AP Royal Oak Moonphase, I could see myself getting the watch. I really liked the PP 5070G, GS Kira Zuri SBGA385, and the Lange 1 Daymatic. The Carl F. Bucherer might be the best value diver under 10k right now, great watch.
I don't see a link anywhere to enter for the Panerai. Ive looked through 10 recent video descriptions, went to the website, facebook page, and the mobile App. Where is it hiding?
The Snowflake is wonderful, but I was impressed to see the quality of the finish on platinum. In general, mirror-finish is easy to achieve on grade five titanium or steel, but on platinum... wow. Not only is there no margin for error with such a soft metal, but the quality of the shine is equal to GS titanium. Best, Tim
That AP Day-Date moonphase, was my first AP. I regret ever selling it... Plus it was stolen from the person I sold it to, a few years ago in the Bahamas.
Great show of very special watches again by our watch professional. WOW omega is right there with value content and engineering. Show is over flowing with generational models by the best. Safe to you and yours Tim
Tim, you might know or not but Im a long time regular viewer of the show and while the overall production quality and your personal style has improved tremendously, the pre-recorded experience is just nowhere near as great. The interaction with the audience is brilliant and the watch people together in chat talking about what you show is also half of the joy. With these prerecords I find myself skipping a few seconds ahead when the timepiece in question is not my style and the overall experience is just not half as good.
Now Grand Seiko has finally lost it. 53.000 pre-owned, one of the most expensive watches of the show! What was the MSRP for that? Oh yeah, it's platinum, the dial, bla bla. But the movement is nothing special in finishing and the sapphire caseback steals you platinum, no extra complications, unlike the CHEAPER Rolex Day-Date II Platinum, it has a a strap instead a platinum bracelet, and the Day-Date has a useful complication more unlike an automatic with power reserve indicator. Also, what about scratches on that shiny zaratsu case? Speechless. I could get the limited Lange Cellini or VC Chronograph, plus the Saxonia and have still enough for the JLC and the Bucherer, or whatever.
@@IANSPA Just don't be a sucker for GS like the Rolex fanboys are for the crown. It's in fact a (great) quartz operated movement but the real scandal is that you can get that EXACT SAME movement 9R15 in watches around the 10.000 dollar MSRP. Then they hardly give you any platinum, the dial is not much better then the snowflake. I mean, only morons will buy this.
@@georgebeckford728 I wasn't concentrating, I actually thought it was the standard Snowflake, cheers for the heads up. I nearly got the titanium 9R Diver, and it retailed for £6,000 over here in the UK, and just because I asked, I could get it for £4,000 , brand new. I didn't go for it though. I got a Rolex Seadweller deep-sea D-Blue (JC) instead. It was a bit more than £4,000 but a nice watch. I have quite large hands and wrists. So I can pull off a big watch.
@@georgebeckford728 It is in Fact a "mechanically operated" quartz regulated movement, the dial is hand painted taking many layers over many hours they are the only watch makers incorporating zeratsu polishing by hand over many hours, along with all the other hand finishing. It's also limited to 20 pieces so the type of people who would buy it are fans of superior artisanal build quality and don't worry about money dear boy.

I love this Milgauss sans green crystal. And good luck to Thanos. I can’t blame him for leaving Philly.

You said follow the link to win a Panerai but I didn’t find the link in the description
That beautiful Grand Seiko is a timepiece that one could wear forever, in my humble opinion its simply sublime. Great show!!! (As always).
That is a VERY special watch. To see that characteristic Zaratsu mirror-finish on platinum is something else.
Best,
Tim
That Milgauss is very interesting ... love that 🍊
Tim you are so lucky. If i got to hold let alone try on the watches you presented today, I would be forever grateful.
Vacheron harmony is my new favourite...
They're underrated. While not cheap by any means, they're a good secondary market buy relative to retail price.

Your APRO sizing advice is spot on. The 39mm 15202 fits my 17cm wrist like a tailored suit; anything more would be too big.
White dial Mil is my current grail. Absolute love at first sight.
Price Goosby great taste my friend
I'm with Tim, prefer the Z-Blue, but going to get a white dial soon.
The Rolex 16600 is the way to go in to the blue , they can not even fake the helium valve as well . Hey Timo , do you think is a collectable one?.. thank you ,very nice video as always. RR

34:21 - This GS Platinum, may be the best under the radar piece of pure art EVER.
That JLC is absolutely amazing 😍
Tim there is no link in the description for the Panerai!
Love that JLC Master Hometime!
Gotta love those land masses !
As always Tim, many beautiful pieces. Keep up the great work.
Thank you, Russell! I always appreciate the wrist shots that you forward.
Best,
Tim
Good show Tim, nice variety, something for everyone! Appreciate your posting the prices too. Much better then struggling thru the website.
Keep it up!

Another awesome show Tim! Love love love that Carl F. Bucherer!!! Right up my alley, totally underrated!!😎😎
And that PP simple 2 hand auto 😍😍
Holy shit i paid 3,400 euros for my white dial Milgauss last year!!
That A. Lange is stunning. Grail of grails.
Just finish watching Watches Tonight.....can't enough of looking at watches...

@@the1916companywatchreviews I agree with all your points , the only thing which put the platinum watch out of my league was the price.
Great selection, Tim. Well done.

Panerai liiiink
Rolex Milgauss great start
That AP Day-Date moonphase, was my first AP. I regret ever selling it...

Oh dear! Perhaps a reunion with a new unit is in order.

@@the1916companywatchreviews don't tempt me! LOL
The VC chronograph is a knock out , there is nothing like the movement of a mechanical chronograph , fantastic .

Wow
The omega constellation is still drawing so much of my attention .
