I love this channel… But that Aventi might be the ugliest watch I have seen in a long time 😂 That’s a lot coming from me because I’m NOT a classy guy lol. I have an RM 29 and a Buss Down AP (I told you I’m not “classy” lol) So when a guy like me is saying that Aventi is gross, you know it’s trash 😂
Christian, I've been a long time subscriber but this was the first time i was really disappointed with the video in a big way. An ad during the video is fine but if the whole point of the video is basically the ad, it should clearly say so. This video very much felt like a bait and switch.
While I've got zero issues with there being partnerships/sponsorships/ads/etc in videos, it feels so nasty when that isn't disclosed anywhere in the video or the description. It feels disingenuous when this video starts by talking about RM, and then there's an obviously-sponsored Aventi ad for multiple minutes. The tone of the video is as if they were just a brand that popped into your mind while talking about RM, but it's clear as day that money from Aventi changed hands, and then you had to reverse engineer a way to shoehorn them into a video. And all without disclosing it. It just feels like we're being called dumb. I remember watching those Masterworks ads, and the way you guys would "organically" transition into, "y'know, it's actually kinda like the world of art and paintings where..." And it was just so transparent and fake. I've got zero issues with ads or sponsored segments because they're at least honest. But you're not disclosing that these are ads. Just like you didn't disclose that those VAER mentions were ads, either. I can handle an ad. But I'm kinda in disbelief that we're being treated as if we're too stupid to know the difference between an opinion and an advertisement.
Exactly this. Create transparency and call ads what they are. This felt like bait and switch, which really made me want to unsubscribe because it felt like a huge waste of time.
@@hotsung Huge waste of time. I already don't like RM, and then to get two-thirds through the video only to realize this was actually just a backdoor ad for Aventi felt like a huge slap in the face.
I think we need to accept that the channel is dying, it was already a niche channel, however since Michael left they cant make these long good quality videos. Instead we are getting short videos that make up for less youtube ads by being an ad in and of itself. That said, we should support him in his next venture!
“Include clear and unambiguous language, using the words or hashtag “sponsored,” “ad,” or “paid” in addition to tagging the sponsoring brand. Include verbal and superimposed disclosures within the first 15-30 seconds of a video. Superimposed disclosures should remain on screen for at least ten seconds.”
“Aventi’s Sapphire hands are so innovative.” 😂 Yeah, because the time has to be hidden on a watch 🤣🤣 It’s different but illogical so it’s not an innovation. Innovation means solving a problem, not creating one lol
i miss so much MIKE and old style of video with lot of stories humor and good chats christian i am in youtube watches more than 10 years and your chanel with michael was great bring it bach mike and our sense of humor please and your great stories advert everyting
Am I the only one that thinks that AP completely fumbled their concept collection for letting RM getting all the clout and desire for a watch that is largely similar. What Rm is doing should have been AP's concept collection. But hey, at least you can get the Royal Oak 105 different ways!
you mention it in a previous comment but you get a lot of stick for your your taste, opinions and persona but at least you're not a Richard Mille guy. I personally dislike the look of RM's but I respect their position, I can't afford one, but once I get my lambo I promise you the next thing on my wish list is a fp journe over an RM. I won't comment on the Aventi plug.
Love RM 67 01 & 02 because of its style, thickness and lightness. Any brand does something similar with affordable prices I'd buy but there are none atm. I don't see a point on spending much money on brand names like PP and Rolex, I'd buy their watches without their logos if they look good and perform well. I wear Muji stuff that has no brand but quality. Same goes to anything in life.
That Aventi is just butt ugly. I understand you need to get paid, but you should note that in the video. It differentiates sponsored content so viewers can understand why it is a departure from your regular tastes.
I’m not a fan of RM either, just not my thing. Even if I could afford I’d pass In Boston Tuesday went to RM Boutique and was able to try on a RM032 that was for sale as well Also able to go to Panerai, Rolex, Lange, AP, VC, Patek, Panerai, and VC both had watches available so that was refreshing. Good insight thanks for keeping on
I NEED SOME WATCH ENTHUSIASTS OPINIONS 😬 I’m leaning one way on the following purchase. But want to make sure I’m not making a mistake here.. would you rather purchase. 36mm Rolex Explorer 46mm IWC big pilot Or 36mm Rolex Explorer 41mm Tudor black bay gmt - Pepsi 40mm Grand Seiko heritage spring drive
@@thomasbrocatello1809 thank you for the input. I appreciate hearing people’s opinions. I like all the watches listed. But just wonder how some people would sway on this.
I’m subscribed to this channel… I like watches …. But The emperor’s new clothes of presenters springs to mind ….. and like a politician use lots & lots of large words but don’t actually say much ….. having said that I’ll be watching next week 😬
Surprising, ehh not sure. Ok granted at the price it’s surprising that so many people have signed on (and some multiple times). But, they have a unique design; they use non-traditional and exciting materials; they only collaborate with individuals at the highest peak of their respective disciplines ; they play to the sporty and younger side of the watch loving world; they have created an atmosphere of hard to get and special to see in the wild. I don’t see why that wouldn’t stick…except for the high prices (and continuous price increases) and some of the ‘douche’ people that seem to be flexing them as a ‘look how much money I have’ rather than ‘look how cool this unique timepiece is’
I hate both Richard Mille and Aventi equally. The difference is Nadal wears Richard Mille which made people think it’s an attractive watch, and all the plasticky feeling and texture of it became innovation and high end tech. To me Richard Mille will never have the class it needs to have to be a gentleman’s watch. It is still as thick as a door knob.
This is a brand worn by Nadal, Michele Yeoh, Pharell Williams, Elon Musk, Larry Ellison and many other heavyweights. Not something to be taken lightly.
In Toronto canada I buy a super super clone I bring it to a rolex expert he say it was real rolex . Unbelievable. Your super clone look just like mine. You a expert but a regular person like me will never know. Imagine on nkuwan

lol we're shilling for aventi now...?
how dare he have a viewpoint on...wait for it...a watch
Gross
@@daveschreiber2749do you genuinely think that the pushback is because of a viewpoint?
@@CrookDanny no...I think its about people just looking for reasons a to attempt to tear others down because of their own issues

So sad.😢
To paraphrase T.S Eliot: “This is the way the Channel ends, not with a bang but an Aventi ad”
Lmao! Burn of the year! 😂

Particularly because there are multiple watch channels coming out with Aventi content right now with the same talking points.

He did a similar thing with vaer watches a few videos back. If I'm wrong about it being an ad, I apologize. But does he really wear a vaer? lol
Aren’t you supposed to disclose if this is an ad? Cause this is definitely an ad.

Aventi ad :(
I love how this translates to english as ''having to" couldn't be more fitting.
We went from Michael to Aventi
I guess the cheque from Aventi was cashed
Hey i think was supposed to be discrete, do we start with richard millie.
Bro, time to shut the channel down. Pushing this AVENTI shit is the end of times.
Maybe money's tight right now. His website hasn't been selling as many watches as it used to
Galatic sum it up lol
I felt a bit dirty after watching this video. Had to take a shower to wash the shame off.
that aventi money good!
Sponsored content for Aventi, a watch as ugly as you can imagine.
True
WARNING: *Paid Advertisement* by Aventi a.k.a. Copycat Mille
Christian go make a buck on Aventi. Ignore the haters but just stop trying to disguise it. That’s where the negativity comes from.
“Aventi’s Sapphire hands are so innovative.” 😂 Yeah, because the time has to be hidden on a watch 🤣🤣 It’s different but illogical so it’s not an innovation. Innovation means solving a problem, not creating one lol
So much good, but this product aventi placement is crass to all parties.
Aventi new sponsor ?
Yes? It’s a very clear ad
I miss the good old days
i miss so much MIKE and old style of video with lot of stories humor and good chats christian i am in youtube watches more than 10 years and your chanel with michael was great bring it bach mike and our sense of humor please and your great stories advert everyting
Awesome video 👍 thinking about buying an Aventi now
Great advertising for Aventi, in terms of placement and brand association. RM video, Aventi ad. Interesting!
Videos like these need the visible dislike button, without it i get baited into watching a 14 minute long ad, WITH ADS.
The modern day Roger Dubuis. Prices will tank when that style is no longer the flavour of the month.
Your Cartier is fire. Very few watches are recognizable from a distance like a Cartier is.
Am I the only one that thinks that AP completely fumbled their concept collection for letting RM getting all the clout and desire for a watch that is largely similar. What Rm is doing should have been AP's concept collection. But hey, at least you can get the Royal Oak 105 different ways!
A total hidden shill for Aventi -= come on man, you’re destroying your brand. 😢😢😢😢 WTF?

I do not like Richard Mille. However, I do apply what they have done and continue to do for the watch industry. Your video accurately captures this.

Every time I see that maestro 8.0 squalette I fall in love with it all over again
Uggh aventi! 🤮
🤢🤢🤢🤢
I can’t wait for when in 3-5 years all of the people hating on RM love their pieces. Your eyes will be opened soon.
I love the the Richard Mille Skull watch.
That Aventi is just butt ugly. I understand you need to get paid, but you should note that in the video. It differentiates sponsored content so viewers can understand why it is a departure from your regular tastes.
Not to be pedantic but PPs first in house chrono was in 2006
I can picture you wearing a 67-01 whether be it the titanium or rose gold case
I’m not a fan of RM either, just not my thing. Even if I could afford I’d pass

I don't have much use for a watch channel that assumes everyone wears $20,000+ watches every day.
If Richard Mille it has to be solid white gold or platinum.
Started interesting and then had a WTF we stayed on Aventi. Dude total BS video👎🏼
No..
What the hell is that! 🤦🏻♂️
I NEED SOME WATCH ENTHUSIASTS OPINIONS 😬
I’m leaning one way on the following purchase. But want to make sure I’m not making a mistake here.. would you rather purchase.
36mm Rolex Explorer
46mm IWC big pilot
Or
36mm Rolex Explorer
41mm Tudor black bay gmt - Pepsi
40mm Grand Seiko heritage spring drive
Option 2 for the win. The Tudor Pepsi is solid and you get GS spring drive.
option 2! a great mix

Avanti ? What's wrong with you man , after all these years you clearly don't know your audience.

👏Amazing insight into Richard Mille's impact on the watch industry!⌚
bro fell off so hard. barely a bro
RM are making some wonderful watches. not to everyone’s taste, but brilliantly made. the Aventi models featured here look awful though.
Jeez. 🙄
Expensive toys for childish people. Money doesn’t imply good test
yikes

It’s his “uh.”
