Came for the watches. Stayed for the humor.

Respect Andrew for checking in on peoples mental health

hearing u talk abt watches is exactly the same as jeremy clarkson describing cars, enjoyed every second of it

"If they all jumped into a Hublot store, would you do that too?" OUCH! LOL!

“Mulling is also one of the most satisfying things to do.” Most British sentence ever spoken.

Great sentiment at the end, all it takes is a conversation to change everything

Respect to Marshal. Because of him, I signed up for watchmaking classes in a couple weeks with the AWCI in Cincinnati.

This is definitely up there with your best work. So well written 👌🏾 thanks!

When you're having a nice Sunday afternoon and Andrew reminds you that homeownership is no longer obtainable for the working class...

The part about simply not enjoying alcohol spoke to me. Thank you

Agree with you about you wearing the watch and not the watch wearing you, most of my watches are between 36mm to 38mm but every now and then I love wearing my 45mm Panerai Radiomir 380 😊😊😊

I made the mistake of buying a clone. Not full on counterfeit, but a Pagani Rolex Pepsi from Amazon. The first time I wore it, I happened to be talking to an old timer who had a genuine vintage Rolex Pepsi. He commented that we had the same watch and I was embarrassed to tell him that no, we didn’t. #learnedthehardway

Great job, Andrew. Well written and very insightful… I am particularly impressed by your analogies. The outdoors part cracked me up- cars, watches always try to show you that once you purchase the product you enjoy the great outdoors, when the reality is that you will just enjoy signing up for a second job! Keep up the insanity sane!!!

Great video Andrew, especially appreciate the sentiment and advice at the end. Your wit and endless supply of colorful analogies are a treasure to the watch community. Keep up the great work, and come back to Seattle to hang with us watch people again!

Andrew, I always enjoy your videos. Funny and witty, all the information is presented to us as a candy wrapped in the envelope of your creativity.

This is as great a video as ever! Thankyou my friend!

Fantastic video that transcends the initial topic (a trivial one in the grand scheme), great work as always.

Really love your way of talking ironically a lot! You became one of my favourite channels on KZfaq! 😊 keep om doing the great work my friend! Greetings from germany 👍

I don't drink, I'm bald, have small wrists and I wear a Panerai 292. An acquired taste, but I'm still happy.

If your argument against buying a fake watch is morality then let’s talk about the morality of a company selling a 500 dollar watch for 25,000. Fuck em

Informative AND entertaining! Funny as hell!

Always love the guy whose job is literally to sell more watches trying to talk me out of buying another watch. You're a stand-up guy, Andrew! ❤ (Pretty sure Andrew gets that no one will follow this advice, anyway. Yep, we're all doomed.)

Thanks for an exceptionally good video! You’ve captured all the perils I could think of and more. I’ve made some of those mistakes too.

Brilliant advice, Thank you!

The last one is always the MOST important. Hahaha watch all the ADs please. lol 😂

The last one is really the most important one and hits close to home

Many thanks! You had some good points.

Love the honesty lol. Subscribing now

Gotta love the Wristwatch Revival shoutout!

Awesome!! I tried to repair a Casio Edifice this week, disaster...obviously. The battery swap was easy enough, removing the crown pure guesswork when KZfaq let me down, replacing the chipped glass was surprisingly satisfying but the plague of the loose glassy hour markers (who wanted to stay seated less than an incontinent pre-schooler) nearly drove me bonkers....fish!!

As to "No. 1" I love a California dial on a square watch, and my $150 Spinnaker scratches that itch and unlike a $12,000 Panerai, and i don't have to worry about breaking it or having it stolen. 🤷 The rest of them I agree with.

I’m subscribing, I genuinely laugh out loud listening and I’m only two videos in. This is amazing

I once heard a story about a couple of guys who bought some bad watches: the one ended up in the hospital, while the other guy is serving 25-to-life. A bad watch can really make a difference in a person’s life, or so the salesman told me.

Good video. Enjoyed it.

Excellent truthful content 👍

Bloody love this video Andrew 😁

Amazing video... as usual!

Getting a watch that’s too versatile. I just picked up a Tissot PRX Quartz green for a vacation. I’ve received more compliments on it than any Rolex, Zenith, Tudor or Omega I have owned. It’s super accurate, comfortable, stylish and can wear it anywhere at no risk. It’s basically perfect, so why all the other watches?

Most Excellent, Thanks

Another thought-provoking, humerous and true video. Keep 'em coming Andrew!

"Standing up to wipe..."? Morgan, you savage!

Your point re 'mulling' is well made, I've learned to savour that process as much as any other aspect

That was a great video! 🎉😊

So I'll say I spent the most I've ever spent on, "the watch I just found out existed." And I couldn't be happier. Went in looking for a Grand Seiko, left with a full titanium Landmaster. Gotta say I love it and the dial is to die for.

Great video Andrew as always. I'm guilty of that person that buys to collect rather than wear. Expensive hobby !!

Buying a fake watch says more about your personal integrity then anything else. At least by an homage which has its own logo on the dial.

A brilliant video Andrew. Was the subliminal watch advertising intentional? 🙂

This is great commentary! Amazing how a video about not buying more watches makes me want more watches too. And its all true - i love "mulling" over stuff. And im so glad the industry is starting to realise they were making stuff thats far too big.

You literally talked about the basics of consumer psychology😁😄

Damned you, Andrew. I was drinking coffee when you started number 6 and now it's all over my shirt because I couldn't stop laughing😂. My wife is now certain that I've lost my mind where as before..... she was only on the ropes about it. I love your wit as you talk about our shared passion. Keep up the good work.

I enjoyed the throwaway 'don't buy 9 of the same watch' followed by 'i buy 9 of the same pants' joke. 😂

Ugh I spent way too much of my life with smartwatches and watches way too big for my tiny wrist. I regret it all and am still selling/gifting them while I slowly replace them with small dress watches. I did actually have a medical situation, and a fitbit was of no use whatsoever. No doctor cares about your "steps," all it did was sudden false alarms that my blood had no oxygen in it.

‘I looked like I’d lost my carer’. That’s supreme and the first time I’ve laughed out loud watching KZfaq in ages!

The comparison of the dog and the England fans was pure poetry! 👏👏👏

I get it "gotta catch em all"....made me chuckle Andrew, witty as always, keep it up.

This has been the first one of your videos that I have come across and it surely won't be the last! Thanks for the very entertaining (and thought-provoking) 19 minutes! I enjoyed every single one of them, I love your sense of humour!

What do you think about buying a second hand discontinued watch? I’m in doubt to buy a Breguet Type XX with metal strap, since it’s discontinued

I absolutely loved the video it was just so relatable it seemed like you were talking to me personally xD

Quite relieved that we are leaving the time of "Is it a watch or a clock on your wrist" behind.

GREAT VIDEO!

I broke rule no. 19 the other night when I ordered a Pitzmann III Chronograph within an hour of watching a review about it. It's my first expensive watch, can't wait to wear it and I regret nothing!

OMG, too funny😂! And too, too true all! Damed good work, Andrew. Now I'm mulling reading all your books. 👍

Once Rowntrees sold small round tube packets of only Red and Black fruit pastels. My favourite ones . I throw the Orange ones away😮

Nineteen minutes and fourteen seconds of pure entertainment. Thank you so much. Plus of course good advice.

Good one!!

You are colourblind. You have a gold Omega DeVille quartz 33mm that your parents bought you for your 21s birthday 35 years ago, and you like it just fine. Somebody who knows about these things finally tells you that gold is not your colour. You spend two years looking at fine watches costing thousands, on forums and websites, thinking that you need to buy a silver-metal watch and why the hell are all the nice wathces mechanical instead of quartz these days? You can't find one that really clicks, that makes you think "yes, that one, I don't need to look any further". Don't buy the 5k watch that's closest to what you want. I drew a line under it and bought a Seiko Dolce, which is close to my old watch in steel. It's for telling the time without getting my phone out of my pocket, not feeding an obssession. All things considered, I'm happy that I spent £300 on "close enough" instead of £3000. I still seem to be subscribed to a lot of watch youtube channels, somehow. Hmm.

Had a good laugh watching this 😂 Love the ending too 🙏

Great video

The paradox of being into watches is that there is no such thing as a grail watch, there is no end to collecting, there's no 'keeper', no perfect watch. Thus, we are doomed to forever chase the horizon. Personally, I'd recommend avoiding the mid range G-Shocks (£300-£700). They're really rather good and you end up just forgetting to wear the hideously expensive 'sparkly antiquities' you've bought.

I'll disagree on one - the trashed buy. I found a Marathon Gsar in a shop in Turkey for £360. Trashed. Crystal broken, case dented - it looked like it had been run over by a tank. But the movement ran. So i bought it. £400 later with a full repair (new case/crystal etc) from Marathon Switzerland and I have a £1200 watch for under £800. Bang on.

This video is recommendable even if there wasn't any interest to watches at all, great insight to healthy attitudes which don't seem to be fashionable these days. Thanks!

1:12 hahahaha love your sense of sarcastic humour! Keep it up like that man ! Wishing you make some brands vs other ones Ex: Tudor vs Rolex calibres etc or maybe try some other content like specs vs quality etc ! Cheers 👋 mate

Cool new channel. Good luck, talking hands guy!

I have a couple of watches that frankly are just way too big for me to wear regularly but I find stunningly beautiful. I keep them in my desk just to stare at and admire from time to time.

So much sarcasm and wit. I’m laughing all while trying to determine if the video feed are examples of what not to buy. The smart watch bit was clear, and I remember reading an article about the two tone Rolex. . .

I have made quick decisions on a purchase following watching this channel!

best watch video ever 🙂 !!! (I did my mulling a while ago, very much enjoyed all the researching, know exactly what I'd buy, except I don't wear watches, or any jewelry of any kind, ever)

Wait, you guys don’t stand up to wipe? 🤔 😂 excellent video. Very well done.

Brilliant video

I often find your videos smart and entertaining. Thanks for taking the time to make unique content.

“Am I buying a watch right now + NO = sadness” . Holy shit thats so funny and so true! 😂 I love this channel!

I have a watch I don't wear, it's the vintage I want to break. I brought it just to look at because it's pretty. It's also abit small.

Brilliant!

So, no to fashion watches! Most are made by Fossil anyway! Great advice!

Well done!

You just nailed it bro. ❤

@Andrew: ever considered making a vid about straps (NATO, parachute MN..), Bracelets etc? There are so many producers and they can make so much of a difference. Would love to hear your thoughts..

I looked like i lost my carer, had me spraying the dog with coffee(again) brilliant! Cheers Andrew

Avoid any and all Ali Express stores watches and avoid all YTchannels promoting same.

Everyone spending over the odds for a watch is trying to fill a hole. Thanks for pointing this out!

Hah, as someone who wears an oversized Garmin watch most of the time and also owns an entry-level vintage Rolex plus something that looks like a Pepsi GMT Master (homage not fake) I may have failed in some of these! To be fair I run long distances and have bad eyesight so I think that I can get away with the Garmin at least. I also bought the Rolex 25 years ago and love that thing so willing to fight over that one too. :)

That bit about smartwatches hit hard. Expected to learn what type of watches to avoid - got that - plus a reality check for free

That was one of your best, I think. Thanks man.

Excellent advice with humour 👍

I’ve very nearly bought a fake watch on holiday in Tenerife, but the ones I saw were so bad I decided against it in the end.

i understand your take on Fossil watches, but how would you view the LV watch?

People who generally buy fakes can not afford a gen. So, they are not even in the market for one anyway. I do not think Rolex is losing that customer as they never had that customer to begin with. However, someone else sees that fake, thinks it's a gen, and suddenly wants to buy a gen, and maybe they do (if they can afford it). What did Hannibal Lecter teach us? "We covet what we see.." Or, words to that effect. For my part, my watch collection is comprised of Garmin, a Rolex Explorer 2 (I thought the GMT Master 2 I really wanted was out of my price range at the time), and an Omega Seamaster Pro. Then, I really got into microbrands after that - I have several. Unfortunately, now, my Garmin Epix Pro dominates my watch rotation since I'm all in with the fitness metrics, and I'm a Crossfit guy. But, I don't have the heart to sell my other watches.

Splendid!

I love it! The LAST (and least) thing that watches do is tell time!

Well I bought a bimetal type sub from Invicta in the 90’s. Wore for a few years then bought a sub that looked like this Brietling logo sub replica. But then 10 years later sold the real Rolex Sub Bluesy bi metal for a real diver. A Sea Dweller
