My watch goal for 2024 is not to buy any watches.

Jaeger LeCoultre (JLC) one of my fav went crazy raising prices forcing many to look elsewhere and losing customers at the same time.

Glad to finally see a nice long video. Love it

Good to have you back. 1 vid per week sounds awesome. Ps the auto zoom was much better in this one.

This is a classic Adrian video 💪🏻 more like this (more often!)

I did watch AFT but it’s your solo videos in this style that are by far the most watchable - good to have you back 🤘

Great conversation! Thanks for the variety of topics and views.

Still no iwc mark xx review

Thoroughly enjoyed this video Adrian. Look forward to what you have planned. New office? Looks very cool. Cheers. 🍻

There’s a lot of folks just talking to camera in an office. I always like your field reports and walking tours.

Great video Adrian .. as you know your channel is the reason I started my channel .. and as I am streaming later this is great inspiration.

An idea for you … why not go to Japan and visit all those Grand Seiko lakes and mountains … or take your Explorer around the world in 80 days.

Great video Adrian! Keep them coming!

Sold my milgaus z blue in 2023 - bought it back this week at less money - love that watch. Current market has its benefits

Mix of length for videos and a podcast would be absolutely EPIC. Been here since 5k and glad to see it grow. Great job Adrian 🤙

Love nkuwan the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the watch. I don't think any other KZfaqr can show off watches in as much detail as you.

Congrats on all your success man 👏

Really nice format

very true on the 'spend time with it to know it' part. big brands should start a service where one could lend a watch for a certain amount of time to see if they truly like it or not

Adrian, I would effing love long format videos

@barkandjack - I love your content and honest feedback on watches, Adrian! Please keep more of those videos coming brother!! Lastly I love the quality of B&J watch straps.. Now the summer is coming up in the US, I need to switch some of my watches to Nato straps lol

Really enjoying the videos, video ideas, I really enjoy when people do interviews with watch people about their collection, what they have and why? The memories around there collecting and why.

Best watch enthusiast content on YT in my opinion. Keep this type of thing coming, Adrian!

love your insights!

Short short short please. Love your channel and all of your content...keep it up!!

Fantastic video. More of this style please. 👍

Long format video are my favorite things on KZfaq!

I second the orange nato strap suggestion. Great video 👍🏻

Great video Adrian! You’ve inspired me to start my own channel!

Thank you for addressing the price hikes. You nailed it. Great video.

Would be good to hear your thoughts on the Bremont rebrand. It was a brave move...

'I get excited about how powerful the watch is vs how pretty the watch is'.... I NEED TO PUT THIS UP ON MY WALL!! 🤙 Great episode, Adrian! Would love to hear your long-form opinions over a podcast. Miss the About Effing Time days

Great video Adrian!!!! Keep the coming !!

Love the honesty👍

Podcast or long form video!!! Love your content!!

More of this please Adrian...

Excellent video, great to see your channel growing, absolutely love your presentation!

I'm definitely here for more long form stuff - and some more podcast stuff!

i love you so much! I recently just found your mamacoo and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life

Really enjoyable. Thank you 👌

I'd love to see your seventy 30 straps in 18mm... will the 19mm fit an 18mm spacing okay? Thinking of getting for my little 36mm Smiths PRS-29A.... thanks Adrian / team

My favorite videos of yours are the adventure videos: the Explorer II in Zermat, snowboarding at the Oris event, and your original Explorer I videos. I also would love to see conversation videos with a guest, like Harrison and Britt!

How's the new, to you, Turn-O-Graph? It's on my shortlist for my next purchase.

Another excellent video 👍 Just to get ahead of the game before the next Q&A, what's your thoughts on the new CW Twelve X? Do you think it's worth it for the extra cost? Thanks

So with keeping in mind durability, which chronographs would you recommend? I like the pilot chrono from IWC…. but I don’t know about durability of movements

Your photography rocks my man, great to see you back on YT!

Great video...what size Nato strap on your Seamaster? The new one that looks like a Daytona.

Love the studio Adrian!

Hey Adrian ! Enjoy your updates as usual! I am planning to purchase a speedmaster 3861 sapphire sandwich from an AD , how much of a percentage of discount do you feel like is a fair point to pull the trigger?

Smiths PRS-29A has sort of killed my desire for an expensive watch for now.... have owned omegas, iwc, rolex etc... but I'm getting bored by the hype and cost of it all... so i have the little 36mm hand wind on a nato, and watching from the side lines Edit - it basically is a micro brands made in Asia.... right... but... the watch is gorgeous, quality selita movement, great specs ... at this point i don't mind that the brand is not one of the top players

efficient set. love it.

Like this style of video cheers 🎉⌚

Great content Adrian, I prefer a longer pod / conversation, just you or with an another. More details and nuances, short vids seem rushed and lack the in depth info. Heading over to the website, looking for a new nato for my Murph, my fave everyday watch. I’m a big fan of Chris Nolan so it makes it extra special for me. Looking forward to the next one. X

We have such different tastes but you’re a cool dude and I appreciate your perspectives. Funny as hell too even if you don’t mean to be

Great content! Still loving the J&B strap that I put my Speedy on. May need to get a grey one for ty Tudor BB Heritage. I'm loving the Nato straps more and more. Any newer watches/styles that are attractive to you right now? I think I'll be aiming for an older Omega 300m, or older Sea-Dweller. Keep up the great work!

I would love some in depth reviews! With your amazing videography! 🙌 dress watches please

Would love to see you in a podcast with a good cohost. In terms of KZfaq, long form (which in my mind can be as short as 7 minutes) is great. Congratulations on Bark and Jack, I have several straps and they’re all fantastic. The sand seventy30 has been on my FXD black dial the last few days.

Hi Adrian, I really love your content a the way how you speaking, presenting the watches and watch industry.... I would like to see on your channel something like interview collectors, speaking about their journey and so on... I would like to ask what happened with About Effing Time... you have a pause or the project has been stopped? all the best....

Love the interview style and definitely video rather than podcast. But also really enjoy the 7-10min videos where you’re sharing your views in general. Would also be great to see a collection status update and what left etc.

Always loved the channel and content, would love to see more presenters on the channel . Would love to see a lot less rolex content and move more towards mid tier products . However if if isn’t broken then there’s no need to pay to have it repaired. Keep up the good work - odd question you can have any watch providing it’s been on a famous persons wrist - what watch / personality combo would you choose ? Sly Stallone recently stated he’s selling more watches or would you go one from Schumacher ? Or a Monaco Steve McQueen movie watch etc

I have a question. Why do you roll your sweatshirt sleeves up past your elbows? Don't the cuffs fray?

Hey Adrian! What's your take on Alpina watches, especially the Seastrong line (they released a new GMT under this line). Love your videos! 🔥

Great video, mate. I’ve had a change of heart around the new F1 and think your comments are actually pretty fair. I won’t be surprised if we see a similar release (without the Kith LE aspect) in the long-term.

I once dropped my Aqua Terra onto the tiles from a height of five feet. I heard a big bang, checked my watch and nothing had happened. Then I looked at the floor fearing I had broken some tiles... I was probably lucky, but on that occasion the watch had proven to be super solid.

Superb video Adrian, thank you. Omega for life

You are a true gentleman! You are not just a content creator I wish we could become friend

Thank you Adrian to talk about the price topic, I personally think that many watches are not reasonable to buy anymore. I completely lost interest about some brands. It's insane.

My overall favorite vintage is the ref. 18038: 1. it's worn by so many important people. Presidents, athletes, actors and even dictators. 2. it's actually affordable at 13-15k 3. it's the perfect size for a dress watch 36mm.

For a second, thought you were filming at the Theo and Harris set.

Would LOVE some long form videos - podcasts or whatever.

First of all cheers for answering my question, I've been following this channel for many years and to see this made me both happy to be in the video in a small way and annoyed to see my own spelling error meant to say buy not by, gotta love phone spell check XD. As for your answer makes sense, you’ve grown a lot since the early sub and explorer video days in the kitchen and 30k would really drive you and your overall buisness forward. I do get what you mean when it comes to daily use of something like a Vacheron, AP and Patek. I was considering get the Vacheron 56 a year or 2 ago and decided against it as I was worried about costs if I was to damage such a thing. I daily my watches and I have on occasion dropped a watch or 2. It was on carpet but still made me nervous. That watch was a Datejust 41 and that thing ran beautifully, was accurate to the second when comparing the time to my phone. I not sure if I would be as lucky with the big 3. Looking forward to the future content. Again thanks for answering, this put a very big smile on my face :D. About_timegb

Anyone try putting a Bark&Jack nato on Seiko’s SNA411 Flighty? Short lugs on it make it hard to fit most natos

I love fuji cameras, I think if I had the X100 (any of that series), I'd pretty much use it for the excellent film simulations 99% of the time. I think the size of the camera and the fixed lens really lends itself to just shoot and posting.

I’m looking into Damasko and their 26-1 movement. If you ever think to review some of them, it would be great!

Adrian would love your opinion on the Omega Seamaster vs the Pelagos 39. Thanks

Wow a 15 minute video from Adrian! That must has taken him an entire morning! Seriously though isn’t it funny how other full-time KZfaqrs are putting out idk several hours worth of content a week and we are happy to get 4:15 out of Adrian every few 🤷‍♂️ must be nice!

You know the secondhand market is crashing when you start to see six digit Subs listed at four figures and Pepsis going for just 5-10% above retail

Long format would be awesome! Love about effing time

Hey Adrian, I have a question for you. There is a watch that I’ve been looking at on EBay at a great price and has the authenticity guarantee as well as a high positive feedback from customers. My concern is that it’s 23% cheaper than if purchased straight from the dealer. The watch is brand new with box and papers. Just wanted to get your thoughts. Love your posts.

Regarding the £30k watch part, your point also makes sense for why to spend £30k on a Rolex and not a more fragile being from AP, PP etc. So I did and I don't baby the Rolex, nor does it feel like I should. A daily that carries real gravitas.

NOS white dial 116520 incoming tomorrow. I think I have watched your video on the Daytona series about 20 times 🤣🙏

I would love to see long form videos

Great video, more long form content would be brilliant.

More videos and.longer format!

Adrian, how close are you to Edinburgh? I’ve enjoyed your channel for years now, and I will be in Scotland in late July. It would be great to meet you.

Adrian: interested is adding a Black Bay 41 Mono to my collections, what is your take on this? both long podcasts and shorts please. content is always on the money.

Long form content please!

One of the things I like about your channel at the moment is that most of your videos are on the 'short' side, as far as watch content goes. I like that most of your videos come-in under 10 minutes. That's good for me. Shorter. Snappier. Focused. Still full of your personality, but talking about something specific. More of that would be good, but let's be honest.. I'd watch your content anyway 💁‍♂

I’d love a podcast tbh

Love your videography, love your photography. Definitely enjoyed your views in this video. 😎

Hows the buy process of the iwc ingenieur going? ❤

20 min (cap) KZfaq interviews are a sweet spot for me. The 40 min length is a bit much and 30 min ones seem to be able to be edited to 20. ;)

My goal is to get the 'right' 3rd watch to join my SD43 & Polaris date and then I'm not sure. My apple watch doesn't count as no.3

Long form and in depth interviews/ podcasts please

Hi Adrian, quick q … don’t judge 😂 … Maurice Lacroix Pontos S … possible to change the strap? B&J have any options? Thanks

What are your current thoughts about getting a 124270? 8:24 actually, the MSRP was around $400. According to Marc at LIW, the bargain-bin prices were because of Seiko having distribution problems and potentially overproduction

This is what I want to see mkre off, Adrian. Dialogue, and maybe guests to discuss watches, collections etc…podcast would be great as well. 👍👍

Is a quartz metal Tag worth more than a metal G-Shock? Not to me. I’m glad to hear you’re planning to do more videos, I’ve been missing your content.

I agree with the seamaster statement but the VC overseas is pretty tough and having 150m water resistance is more than enough! I wear my chrono 5500v everyday and no problems whatsoever.

What’s your opinion about Maen Hudson watches ? Worth buying @adrian barker ?
