How lucky is your friend to be given a Rolex Submariner two tone from his wife. Interesting seeing your current version next to an older version.

They don't call the Marine Master the Japanese Rolex for nothing. Absolute quality watch! Star of the show today.

"I like watches" understatement of the century

"Testing, testing, errr. I like watches." Choked on my All-Bran. :)

The MM300 is one of those watches that makes you go "How was my Explorer three times more expensive?!"... The brushed hands with polished edges, hand applied lume, and the hand assembled (allegedly) 8L35... AMAZING watch. I don't love the bracelet so I put mine on a black Isofrane for that modern-retro look. If you have a chance to try it on rubber I think it makes the watch truly shine, and nearly impossible to beat in its price category. Its a little top heavy on NATO but I still do it ;). Great Video!

There is a saying: you buy a Sub to impress other people. You buy a MarineMaster to impress yourself.

The MM300 is the nuts, honestly.

I could hear them talking about watches all day long👌

Loving your new collaborations with Jon! The chemistry that you lads have is hard to beat! Keep at it TGV! Cheers, Joshua

And the winner is... (drum roll) Seiko SKX!!! ;D

Loved learning more about these stunning Divers! Thank you both for sharing your love of timepieces. The energy and enthusiasm you both exude makes me want to go get a diver...NOW! So. Many. Choices.

Fantastic episode gentlemen! As always, it's an absolute pleasure having Giancarlo on the show! Beautiful two tone Sub and what a watch that seiko is, real stunner! Best, Matt H.

you two are the perfect duo to talk about watches! do this more often please. And the mm300 seems like a really interesting watch haha

would love to see a proper video comparing mm300 to the sub. please make that video TGV!!!

that federico talk watches impression was spot on! :D

What a great video and analysis of these beautiful timepieces! For someone who is not savvy on watches, yet enjoys adding to my husband's growing watch collection, very helpful to watch. I'm following! Thank you!

I really admire your attitude in your videos very comforting and easy to relate to , your points come across very clearly as well top work !

I always love your videos, TGV! They always give me comfort and happiness. Keep the awesome work!

Giancarlo makes the channel even better! Keep it up guys!

nice video TGV as always ;)

I have owned a 16613 2 tone Sub for almost 20 years. I was a grail for me back then and I still cherish is as much now. I know it's kind of and overused phrase, but it looks great with jeans or a suit. It's the watch you take on vacation; perfect for the pool or formal dinner. And I never tire of looking at that blue dial. Great job, Gents. Love the chemistry and the way you guys play off each other. Keep up the great work.

So much fun! I am really interested in that Seiko...I am not really a Seiko guy, but that thing is exceptional

Good chemistry between you lads.....appreciate the content, cheers

The MM300 adjustable clasp came before the rolexs glidelock. The MM's bezel is lacquer.

Some heavy hitters on the channel well done.Cheers.

Awesome vid! 👍 😎 love the Mm300!

Great job TGV! Your videos are always amazing quality!

The Seiko works so well on him. I can totally see him falling for it lol. Looks very down to business and it doesn't get much more "tool watch" than that. And I'm always saying that more full-body images should be present on r/Watches and other watch forums. So many people ask "is my watch too big" and post an image of just their wrist. But the entire build of the person is how it should be determined. As a fellow Italian (well not all Italian, but I seem to have gotten all the Italian genes lol!) with a similar build, seeing the Seiko on GCR's wrist made me want it too! As far as two-tone Subs, love them! Blue and gold just screams navigation/ocean to me. And it was stunning to see it next to the Seiko as well. The Seiko looks like (and IS) a tool for real divers. And then you have a two-tone Sub that looks very oceanic, but isn't really practical at all. It says something that you two even laughed at it when thinking about it being used as a real diving watch - because in all seriousness, it'd absolutely be a bit ridiculous. Had me cracking up about diving into champagne lol. So while I like them, they're almost all aesthetic. They remind me of water and boats, but don't actually belong in the ocean. I could see someone on a yacht wearing one, relaxing on the deck. Then taking it off, putting the Seiko on, and jumping into the water. If you're into boating, sea-life, sailing, etc. then the two-tone Sub is the way to go. But if you're going to want something tough, rugged, and for actual diving, get the Seiko or a normal Sub. Also, I think you said it perfectly with, "It's tastefully done flashy-ness." That's honestly the best way anyone could describe the two-tone Sub. Completely not in-your-face, but also definitely not subtle either. Just clean, classy, and luxurious. It knows what it is and isn't afraid to let people know about it.

Epic timing - just as seiko Saturday is upon us

Never really post comments for youtube but just want to say how much I appreciate your videos. Been looking for a hobby and your videos inspired me to get into watches. Your videos are super informative and is pure class! Keep up the good work!

great conversation. thank you 🙏

The ceramic version of that sub is absolutely my grail of grails. I tried one on recently and it is in my opinion, the most gorgeous watch I've ever seen.

Hey TGV, Great great content! That Marine Master is soooooo beautiful! Cheers!

As always a good show, Tristano! And my thought on the two-tone Rolex is: to each his own. Keep up the good work, sir!

You know its gonna be good when the other explorer brother is present.

Hey GUYS!

Great video. Thank you!

"Nice Try T" hahaha almost fell of my chair by laughing. Really nice video! :)

Beautiful 2 tone Rolex, love ❤️ it! The Seiko is also an eye catcher!

it's such a delight to see you both or other of your friends doing videos with you tgv. brilliant and hilarious! such madness but beautiful to see. hope next vid it'll be your wife talkin bout watches and cuisines. just a suggestion anyways. more power and success to you sir😉✌

Thanks a lot for the amazing videos TGV! Run into a two tone sub in black recently on street, it gives you a splash of gold in a very subtle way. In some light condition, it seems just like a SS sub. It might be a good choice for someone who want some gold but don't want the shout out loud all gold models. Great video! Thanks guys!

Wow! TGV! This is an innovative Video!!!! I must confess I never would have thought of doing a watch video in a Police Interrogation Cell!

I happened to owned the exact 2 tones sub you reviewed. Got it way before the ceramic subs are out. As I already owned quite a few tooly dive watches, I wanted to try the 2 tones for a more dressier, abit of flash diver sport watch. Comparing it to the new sub, I like the size and the blue dial. The new 2 tones blue is darker, size wear bigger due to beefer lugs. For that, I am happy to give up the newer movement, ceramic bezel, glide lock features. Great video!

Its mbeen a while since I've seen that intro. A throwback video featuring the first intro and your dear friend Sir Ernest would be a nice video idea TGV. Keep up the great work T Regards

Thanks TGV, another great show! I have mixed feelings about the gold, on the one hand it is visually and I'm sure handling it is nice change for a tool watch and some would argue that it is just showing off. However, lets not forget that gold that has been chilling at the bottom of the ocean since the Spanish inquisition is still doing just fine! So really for a dive watch is there a better material?! Thanks again. Avid watch lover and truly enjoy your down to earth discourse. Jacob

Very cool! It's not a ceramic bezel. But it is shiny!! Great video guys!!

Excellent video my friend! Love the collabs! I have a suggestion I've been wanting to share for a while. What is a good/the best mid-range chrono? It really is a tough one isn't it? How about making a video on that? Best regards, fm

hi tgv if some1 like myself was saving to one day own a submariner which model is the best investment or what would you recommend. thanks love the channel

OMG this is so great you guys freak out over watches just like I freak out also

Just picked up an early 2000s used no date submariner after watching your videos. Hard choice between that and the omega PO but I am happy with the sub.

I was wondering when the MM300 would pay a visit.. That watch is dying for a TGV Review!! Great Stuff!! BMJ ENGLAND

Have you had any experience with mondaine watches. I've been interested in getting one of their automatics. I love the design of their watches.

I really like your channel, thank you for your work. Love from Moscow :)

I just bought the Seiko Marine Master watch only because Gian Carlo is wearing it in the video! Gain Carlo is my idol!

when it said "test driving" a diver watch, I was expecting TGV to do a session in the middle of the Pacific. LOL still a good review, though

I own the Ceramic two tone and absolutely love it...solid point re: the glide-lock clasp! Put off buying one for years thinking it would be gaudy, but on the wrist it is refined and beautiful!

Love these episodes with you and Giancarlo! Lots of interesting discussion and nice to get a second opinion on things. Still miss Federico though. Any collaberations with Federico in the foreseable future? Sir Dog

Love that show!

Congrats on the explorer! I am very partial to the classic pre 1989 explorers myself. Maybe one day...

I have the 14060M two liner and I was able to install a Ginault Ocean rover bracelet which has the glidelock function and I can honestly say its the best combo between old and new. I absolutely love it and would highly recommend it for anyone who likes the size proportions of the pre ceramic subs but love the gridlock feature of the new submariners. Also the Ginault bracelet even fits my GMT ref 16710. The bracelet alone is worth purchasing a Ginault watch IMHO.

Like two boys in a candy store, love the Seiko. So clean. Curious about the rest of the days ventures. Don't wait too long. Nice job gents.

After much thought I bought the Seiko MM300 partially base on this video. Thanks.

In love with your videos Mr TGV. Can there be a video about different kinds of bezels? About material, functionality etc?

what watch do you think can beat Hamilton khaki field H10? (in a similiar price of course) thank you

When you guys do the full review of the MM300, please look into one issue that I've been trying to find clarity on: some watch makers have urged caution over what they've found to be a weak or just poorly executed stem and crown. This is very surprising, since a robust and reliable crown/stem configuration are really key to a true diver tool watch. Thanks guys! Excellent content, as always!!!!

Great video gents - a quick point about difference between gold & steel with regards to weight neither is heavier because if you have a kilo of steel and a kilo of gold = 1kilo. However as previously mentioned gold has greater density than steel in other words a 1inch cube of gold will weigh more than a 1 inch cube of steel because it has more “stuff” in it. Best regards from Australia

What a beautiful video! You should do more videos together, your synergy is absolutely mesmerizing.

Actually the two tune Submariner was my favourite option on subs before I got into watches. Now I'm not a fan at all, not even in general of two tone watches. As for being a logical step, I think it is. In the times we live in watches are no longer a necessity for majority of people, they are a luxury, especially with pieces in that price range. So why not make it in precious metals? Really enjoying these episode with Giancarlo. Great job guys!

Just saying thanks for the good luck the exam yesterday went well now I can enjoy another video ahah

Rico Suave..!!!!! hahahaha Keep up the good work guys!!

interesting thx fr sharing :)

Hi TGV I know you love your seikos have you ever seen the skz211 aka the land shark? I've got the mm300, sumo, skx, baby tuna and lots of others but when I put on the land shark it always puts a smile on my face.

I was about to pull the trigger on a new MM a few weeks ago but I have some reservations about it. I'm a bit concerned about its thickness. It is a beautiful piece but at the $2K price it does concern me about the lack of a ceramic bezel and it not having sapphire crystal. Btw, the bezel is aluminum w lacquered paint. As for the two tone Sub.. I like it. I'm not fond of the two tone with the Serti dial though. Great video as always. Ta...

Great vid as always but some soft furnishings to dampen reverberation and tone down the Daz-white background would make it even better ;)

I live in central bucks,is their anyway of trying a mm300 on for size???

just finally made the kill on the skx007 j and am looving it, i can see why you love them, ready to mod 👌

I purchased that Seiko Marine Master 300 bracelet for my Seiko 6105 and with little modification it looks great. One of better bracelets in Seiko world. I have that two tone Bluesy and I like it better that my Rolex ceramic sub. So glad to see some high quality pieces in this episode and good conversation. BIG LIKE

Thanks for having John Carlo. I think the two tone Submariner is just a dressier option. I don't find it gaudy. Can't wait for the side by side comparisons.

That MM300 is quite an interesting diver as when you are diving its easier to turn the bezel with gloves on. Similar to the Omega Seamaster 300 back in the late 60's. Also, I like the lume better on the Seiko than my Rolex. Rolex accuracy is superb being +2/-2 and that is in case testing. Wonderful video TGV, much appreciated.

Tastefully done flashy. Good description. Breitling can learn from it. If flashy is your thing (both watches and watch lovers), embrace it with taste!

Excellent vid.! I think the the main reason in prices being similar in older 2 tone and newer ceramic is mainly dealers are compensating the price of time with spot price of the precious metals being used. Rolex's are no doubt valuable barter in most places but precious metals are valuable anywhere on the planet.

EDIT: Zack Mattews is right saying that the bezel is painted steel (the bezel is not aluminium as previously mentioned) -Charles

That Seiko is stunning, wish it were a smaller size though. Love the content as always.

I like your new Rolex. The Seiko is beautiful, I have a tuna, and it is well made. The marine master has to be amazing.

LOve the Seiko, even thinking of buying one from Seiyajapan. But I am a traditionalist when it comes to the Sub, the black is understated and elegant. Cheers

I remember eating at a posh cafe in Bucharest once and the owner came to us and was very helpful and nice. When he sat at the table next to us I remember seeing his two tone blue ceramic updated Rolex submariner. Maaaan it was gorgeous....absolutely stunning to look at. The new Tudor two tone has a bit of that look for a lot less money

This Laurel and Hardy watch duo made my day ! Very impressed by the Marine Master. Another winning Seiko.

I have a ceramic no date Sub, Black Bay Heritage Red ETA, a Grand Seiko Spring Drive Diver, and a MM300... I put the MM on a Miltat Angus Jubilee w ratcheting clasp. It holds up well against all of the others, and when you consider the price -- it blows them away!

The Federico impression in the beginning was hilarious. I miss those videos. Too bad he had to go off and move to Miami! But great video as usual. And that Marinemaster is so beautiful.

Best Watch Reviews Ever!!!!!

I really would like to know the difference between the Tudor BB and the Seiko MM300. Hope that soon we can hear more from that. Thanks guys as always for the lovely and insightful video!

I own the 16613 TT Blue and before that 16803TT Blue i currently have three five digit subs including my beloved 5513...I love the two tone five digit subs and always will. The ceramic two tone version of this piece 116613 is also beautiful

Awesome👏🏻Lumes.

Your an inspiration TGV :)

Anyone know where the intro music is from? I'm sure I've heard it somewhere...

Omg that seiko is gorgeous . Love your videos Tgv!

I'll go with the seiko. looks very strong, beefy and very handsome diver watch.

Good Federico impersonation, John-Carlos!

MM300 !!!!! and Rolly cool vlog TGV serwus Adam

Thanks TGV. Sorry if someone else answered already, but Gold is quite a bit higher density than st steel. I think it's more than 2X.
