      @@mastermindmanagement6190 I really like these guys and the channel, but how little they seem to give a shit about how their choice of sponsors reflects on the audience's perception of them is kind of strange, especially considering how savvy they seem to be in general, media-wise. Maybe I'm just old and stuff like that matters to me more than it does to younger folks.

    Raymond Weil has been killing it for years. Their watches are literally as good, if not better quality, than a lot of the players in the 3-6k range. Go hold a Maestro or Freelancer (diver or skeleton) in the flesh. The quality is so apparent.

    I demand respect, although I would never wear the Ciga Design,( I don't like it) , because I'm an American and as an American I only would buy a.....wait for it....Swiss or Geman made watches, lol.
    After all, I was born in Germany and raised in Italy (mom is Italian). But I am American!!
    And I demand respect!!
    In all honesty, I would never ever wear a watch made in China....except the Ciga Design, lol

    Tudor BB - Meh. Don't make me laugh and dont kid yourselves. It is desired by no one that doesn't really want a Submariner.
    Ciga Blue Planet- Nice work other than the case, but engineering and manufacturing credit where it's due for mere the price of a Grand. Lose your xenophobia and grow up. The Chinese know what they're doing and they're just getting warmed up. Watch.
    Max Booster MAD1. A monstrosity that serves little purpose other than as a limp flex or conversation starter. Oh, and there's nothing brilliant about it, Theo. It's clever at best. See, it is possible completely dislike something (insert ANY Hublot here). You don't have to always find something you like about it.
    Raymond Weil - I like vintage too! A nicely realized, thoroughly unoriginal knockoff of Longines & Omega.

      This clip was seemingly produced for the entire purpose of promoting CIGA, because they paid for the privilege. That's fine, but it should be labelled differently. Assuming the Theo and Harris video brand is something they want to protect. I want to spend time with Michael and Christian and the new guy is okay and will get better. And I may watch and enjoy a 20 minute commercial for CIGA too - but not when I feel tricked into it or that they are trying to slide in commercial content by deception.
