It truly is refined. Like you described, every aspect of it is meticulously designed. It’s so simple, but has enough substance to captivate you when you look at it.

Great video, I have Explorer 2 and the 36mm - I think they cover everything for me. Thank you for sharing. T.M.C

you're very welcome!

The strap in the video is a NATO strap from Artem. They also have rubber straps with Richard-Mille style butterfly clasps. Check them out 🤙

Sorry man, I’ll try to work that out in editing. I put the music at 2% volume. I think I need to max out the volume on my original video

Actually i like your choice of music and the volume level. That said we are all different.

I dig it man. Rock that watch everywhere, keep being the one watch guy. I used to only own one watch for 7 years, and it was a cheap automatic Fossil watch. I beat the crap out of it and wore it during so many significant times in my life that I can’t help but keep it.

I dropped a watch strap, thankfully I didn’t drop the watch, so no 🤣

That’s very true as well, black tie events are for being present, and where it’s encouraged to lose track of time. In 2024 though I think most of us would view this attitude as antiquated, hence why we wear sports watches in formal attire.

@@WornDownCrown true. Just how many view brown shoes as appropriate formal attire.

Yes, the NATO is the 21-22mm variant. Fits perfectly 🤙 I love rocking this combo

Thanks! Ordered! Artem should give you a cut, haha 😅

@@coronetmag i know right? I’ll have to start asking at this point 😂 hope you enjoy your new strap!

6.9 inches. Fits perfectly

I can’t say for sure. What do you want out of the watch? Do you want functionality or do you care more about aesthetics? My best advice is to try both on and buy whichever one makes you feel better. Be conscious of the emotions that arise when you wear each watch, and decide based off of that. This is all subjective.

I can’t say. I liked my Seamaster for different reasons. Its gone now though

What grail watch was this? I’m surprised an AD would give such a steep discount to begin with. 2600 dollars off is pretty huge.

I negotiated quite a bit but it’s a limited run Breitling Navitimer

Okay that makes sense, I think it was a fair resolution. I mean they gave you 318 off an already discounted price to begin with. I’ve never heard of that happening ever

@@WornDownCrown yup super weird situation with the fraud accusations. Thanks for your insight! Love the channel man! Can’t wait to see it grow!

I live in Hawaii, where wearing long sleeves is pretty impractical

I have, but there are a few reasons why this doesn't work at all in my opinion. 1) Wearing a homage watch that looks almost exactly like the real deal makes you just as noticeable to criminals. You assume the same amount of risk of being spotted, while reaping zero benefit. 2) My experience with homage brands got off to a really bad start. I bought a STEELDIVE 1953 over a year ago that had a faulty movement right out of the box. the date wheel was screwed up, the watch wouldn't manually wind, and something in the movement was preventing the seconds hand from tracking across the dial. Granted, this was one watch, and many other people I've spoken to love their homages, but in my personal experience it didn't work out well. 3) I think it's safer to actually buy a less expensive watch with an original design from a brand that isn't as highly coveted. Think Casio G-shock, F91W, seiko 5, Garmin, or timex. Many of those watches have their own designs and they're clearly not Rolexes. I think that's the safest option when you're in a sketchy place.

@@WornDownCrown thanks, I appreciate your thoughtful reply and I enjoy your content!

Now that you mention it I struggle to think of one 🤣

KZfaq can place ads on any video, that doesn’t mean I as the creator get any compensation. My channel is not monetized so I’m sorry but I don’t know what to tell you. I don’t control what KZfaq does with the content on its platform

I don’t have to do anything. They’re my arms.
