The 14270 used the 558B end links. There are two variants of the 558B end links one that is not notched and one that is notched. The no holes cases used the notched variant of the 558B.

@@craftandtailored awesome, thanks!!

We will get there :) Thanks for the support!!!

This is exactly how I feel

agreed!!

thanks my man!!

Thanks!!

thanks, my man! I really like the 116000 OP best bang for the buck modern Rolex in steel right now... Total sleeper watch!

Just out of curiosity Christian, do you ever run into any issues putting leather straps on your 114270? I own one and I had to get curved spring bars because otherwise, the edge of the case would chew up my straps due to the lug holes being closer to the case than the 14270. Thanks!

@@stuartpeterman2281 I had to do the same. Ripped up a very expensive strap. The curved spring bars from toxic nato have been a necessity.

The focus in usually pretty good on the straight on shots but this time around it’s like the aperture is off a couple clicks and our wonderful host is on the wrong side of the DOF.

yep I agree this one was a little off and totally appreciate the feedback. We are actually working with some new gear and tools that we are still getting used to, a few new Len's and some monitors to increase the visuals a bit but I think the team is getting used to the gear integration!!

Craft & Tailored there is always a little learning curve with new gear! Doesn’t take away from the top quality content, especially when the content is about watches I own... Keep up the good work 😄

Craft & Tailored You are forgiven Cam

That is a very positive thing. Do not change it whatever you do. Worth far more if unchanged.

Jay W SEL just would never lose shape on hard knocks or abusing and give loose the loose jingling noise. In term of comfort, i think the hollow end link would be more comfortable on smaller wrist. Shouldn’t have much difference on bigger wrist.

I went for the 114270 because of the solid end links but also the lume is luminova as opposed to tritium so it doesn't degrade. This was a big deal since it's my everyday watch. Also, keep in mind that the lug holes are drilled closer to the case on the 114270 so you likely want curved spring bars on it or the case will chew up your leather straps and my natos wouldn't even fit.

we could dive into the minute details of the 1016 but we didn't want to make the 14270 vids about the history and an insane number of 1016 variants! We plan to cover that in additional episodes!

What Cam said was completely correct, the 1016 was ascetically unchanged throughout its 30 year run but there are technical differences in the reference. Seemed pretty clear to me.

you are correct as the mainspring is loaded and then ultimately fully wound it will get and feel tighter yes but the watch does have a slip clutch that will prevent over-winding..

hehe leveraging that levreged the leverage heh

Thanks for the feedback will pass this info along to our team and see if it makes sense for us to film in 4k. I know 4k makes the gear run hot and rips through the batts quickly we have some new gear in the works and some additional tools that will allow for 4k. I love 4k as well but I think most viewers watch it in 1080 on a mobile device but I think it may be possible with some gear upgrades to get these done in 4k! sincerely appreciate the feedback, we are always honing the content knife over here and are progressing with each video!!

exactly!! Glad you enjoyed this one!

I agree!!! less is always more

You can do it!

Thanks for the feedback! noted for sure!

I really like the 14270 its the perfect blend of vintage meets modern I have had a couple of exp 39's come through my hands and I like the 36mm as it fits my skinny ass wrists the execution of the Exp 1's is a good blend of dress meets sport!

Killer watches!!

Already asked another commenter, but curious... do you run into issues with straps on yours? I had to get some curved spring bars because the lug holes are closer to the case than in previous versions and my thicker straps were getting chewed up. Cheers!

He does!!! Good call!
