The Royal Oak Chronograph is actually made of white gold, not platinum. Ref. 26317BC

This has to become a weekly conversation/segment. Easiest video to watch from you guys

Hope Carl gave you permision to wear the daytona, I would not like someone wearing my watch for 2 months if I take it for service. Also, no date is better

I assume Carl gave you his permission to wear his Daytona for months while it was in for servicing?

Always appreciate these candid chats with the T&H team...just 2 guys talking watches & sphincters...

What mustache?

So… where’s Anna? And yes to the the date window.

Did he know you wore his 100K watch for 2 months?

Mustaches and two-tone watches coming back in style 😤💯🤣

I use the date complication on my watches a LOT. It's a shame some watches just look gorgeous without one

I hate it when luxury brands steal from other brands. Those sub dials are more or less an exact copy of the Daytona! AP should be able to come up with something by themselves. I expect stealing from brands like Invicta, but not from AP!

Now that you said cartoon pizza on the watch. It's something you can't unsee it. 😳

A date window at the 4:30 position, no matter how well executed, will never appear as anything more than an afterthought to me. Would vastly prefer a pointer date on most styles and wish we saw these more frequently.

The more I watch these videos the more I become aware of Christian's lack of basic watch history.

You guys chemistry is great to watch. Like brothers from different mothers 😁

The arrogance is strong in this one.

Date is just one more pain ... have to set it. No quick set date even more of a pain.

I prefer a date on a watch, but a bad date window can kill a watch.

Prefer the chrono without a date, but don't mind too much since it looks so good. More important to me is that the ap chrono has no displayback, low water resistance and low power reserve. Are you sure it's platinum by the way? I can only see a WG ice blue chrono on the website.

Need a date! From a design perspective, get it, it throws things off normally. But any excuse to not pull my phone out to reference something my watch can, well...

Great video! Keep up the great sense of humor!

Regarding a date window on watches: If I only had one daily watch, i would want a date on it. If I have multiple daily watches, like I do, I don’t require a date. At least one of them needs a date tho.

Regarding Furlan Marii: "Andrea Furlan is a Swiss designer who graduated from the elite ECAL (École cantonale d’art de Lausanne) and went on to work for different brands such as Chopard, Hublot, Sarcar and HD3. He is perhaps most famous for having worked on designing Dominique Renaud’s DR01, a watch so baffling that only Jack Forster, Suzanne Wong and let’s hope Dominique Renaud understand it." You are so accomplished and you come up with a copy of Patek with $20 movement inside. Hard pass!

I want to share a tidbit of knowledge about the AP Royal Oak as regards to advancing the date. I was stunned and flabbergasted to find out that despite AP being a member of the Swiss Triad & the prestige that comes with it, the only way to advance the date is to wind the watch past midnight! At this price and with AP's pedigree you would expect to pull out the crown to a second position and advance the date forward (and backwards on some high end brands). So AP having a date function on the Royal Oak only reminds me that it is a lot of work to set the date if you need to advance it more then one day.

Date window is a must. One of the most useful functions on the daily. Hope Carl ok’ed you wearing his in-service watch while he waited for it’s return! Does that happen at other repair shops?

What happened to Anna?

The date window is trash on the royal oak chronograph. It isn't even properly aligned in between the two indices. What is that about?

Date window is super important, specially for someone who plans ahead and depends on their calendar as a daily tool. I normally need the date and a seconds hand on a watch. If it's missing one of those two it's normally no longer an option for me.

“If I was a celebrity dog Walker...!” 😂 “you can rob a vegan.” Fucking hell gents this was a funny one

This is one of the best uploads! Loved every minute of it. More Michael and Christian posts, these are so fun!

HOW HAVE I ONLY JUST FOUND THIS PAGE?!?! :O

One of the nicest date windows out there but still always vastly prefer no date

I actually use the date on my watches, but it doesn’t matter than much because we have our phones. It’s no Cyclopes lens but it blends very well with that AP

Yes, the date window is especially important to me. I catch myself using it very often throughout the day for my work.

Why I watch Theo & Harris? 50% watches 50% christian clothes style/combinations

Date window - YES! I really wish the Daytona was offered with a date.

Everyone copies from Rolex. Now even the holy trinity. That’s the power they have in 2021. Maybe Rolex should be named ‘the almighty one’.

Date window is an absolute must, pretty much on any watch. It's a deal breaker.

Where Anna ?

"you can rob a vegan" - christian zeron 2021

"You could rob a vegan" love it😂

I love my Blancpain Leman Flyback, it's an absolute sleeper and I would happily have it over a Daytona every day of the week. Yeah, yeah, resale value of the Rolex is way better, but how many people do you see in your day to day Life wearing a BP vs a Rolex. Plus, the dial and finishing on the BP is WAY nicer than a $15,000 or $20,000 Daytona. Thanks to the RGM aftermarket glass case back I can appreciate that fine finishing and solid gold rotor. Great content guys! Thank you!

Christian, the Chopard you introduced in the video is stunning; especially, in the red & blue dials. I went to Chopard's website to research the Chopard Alpine Eagle and only found the blue & gray dials. Could you share the reference numbers for the Alpine Eagle watches that you show in this video. Greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Once a pair of trimmers have been up a mans nose those trimmers are his for life...

He's more of a Jeff Goldbloom with that moustache.

Date or no date really depends on the overall design aesthetic for me. For the RO I could live without the date for sure.

Always prefer no date !

Yes need the date

The Chopard indeed is a stunner

Yes - The date is the most useful complicaton for me besides the hands

Here for the Alpine Eagle. Just bought a blue dial one. Very beautiful watch, and is a underdog. I prefer it over my Rolex Daydate for daily wear.

Date is important

Was a pleasure to watch this, funny and informative

For anyone interested - there is a wonderful 2 part mini doc on KZfaq about the birth of the Fifty. 1 hour total, just fantastic. It speaks of the visionary who created one of the first efficient under water tool watches - even when everyone else was telling him there was no future in an under water watch. Jean Jacques Fiechter. Great watch.

1815 chronograph in white gold with the black dial is my grail.

Guys thanks for the great content. Quick question where is Anna ?

Funny you two. More vids like this good banter and partnership

Carl sounds like my kinda dude. Something needs to be done? Full send it! Lol 👍

I dont care for the date unless its a callender watch

I like dates on watches but I prefer them either at 3:00 or 6:00. Not the biggest fan of them at the 4:00 position but the date wheel color matching the dial and with the chronograph sundials sort of masking it does help. However, looking at the AP Code 11:59 time only and the 4:00 date window is a travesty. It sticks out in such an odd way that it should just be removed. That by itself would significantly increase my appreciation for the 11:59 model line.

Holy Frak! You were born in 1995?? I was a platoon leader at FT Campbell way back then.

Also, could I just point out that the 6594 you have in the shop is a manual wind therefore cannot be a perpetual.

Theres a movie about the Radium girls (2018), they talk about real events, exactly as Christian explained

Own both the steel Daytona and royal oak. I love the Daytona but the AP is a cut above. WAY above. I imagine the platinum is no different

This is a dope format! Hopefully we get more of these.

I will always prefer a date. I can do without a day function because I prefer the look without it even though I love having the function of it. But date is always a must for my top watch.

Date window usually ruins the dial, like in this case.

I’m takin the dog, forget about it....

great video - besides the triangle curve on christians hat lol

Feels like The and Harris is back! Great great show buddy!

A date window is a must

I think the date is to much! For a simple dial is great but for a more complex multiple incorporate complication dial is to much - even in a Sub - no date is better at least for me.

Anything with a slanted date window like that is an instant no-go

That Platinum RO is insane!! Plus you get a solid arm workout just wearing it

1. Nice color choice, Chopard 2. I actually am on the treadmill 🤣

So much for the “holy trinity” being above Rolex. First AP cozies up to Marvel comics, now they copy an allegedly lower tier brand.

Great video!

Sad to see hi end watch company just copy from one another for their design ,if it is a cheap brand no one will complaint.Therefore ,these companies are cutting corners in R&D ,yet still charge a lot on their customers.Think customer be warn.

Yep, date

I prefer symmetry over date

No date.

oh, you mean like Rolex "stole" from Blancpain?? sure.

To me personally that date window on the royal oak ruined the whole thing. Totally unnecessary and worse either at 4:30 or blocking one of the registers, I really dislike that. At least they matched the bacground color to the dial.

I want to hang out with you both haha. This vid was awesome.

What moustache

Where’s Anna ?

All my watches have a date complication.

Would not buy a watch without the date

Day date is a must for me

Rather have no date

Love having the date window, that's why I went with chrono AP rather than a Daytona, not to mention AP is a lot more exclusive.

I'd choose the AP over the platinum daytona for sure

Yes the date matters!

It is not the a hole it is the sphinster

These are hipsters watches we don’t went their first 🤷🏻

Why don’t you review the micro watch maker Marloe based in Perth Scotland. Take a look. It’s worth it.

Christian has had a "coke nose" since the days when he made videos in his car.

Karl literally put the tool into the term “tool watch”😂 Also, if Rollie really stole your nose trimmer he’s one disgusting man🤣

Everyone thinks I'm a cocaine addict sniff

Neither one of those Christian lol
