The passion Nico has not only for watches but also for the general public that are buying these watches is amazing to see and you can really tell that he just wants these watch brands to understand that alienating customers and other brands from their cliche is detrimental to the entire industry.

Excellent comment! Exactly how I felt watching the video and really just appreciate Nico’s honest opinion about watch brands and the watch industry. You can tell he really cares about not only the industry growing but also the experience for the end consumer/watch enthusiast. He’s willing to speak his mind and hold people accountable and that is rare and supremely refreshing to see and hear.

Hello Mr Nico I have been following your videos for quite some time and find them quite entertaining. I have a lot of different brands. A Rolex, omega, Grand Sieko, Zenith (💛), Longines, IWC, Oris (❤). Some time ago I got a Hublot Big Bang Unico 42 mm at a good price. I have to say one thing Nico - I think the hate for Hublot is overrated. The in house movement is quite accurate and the watch has a flyback chronograph. It has 72 powers reserve, Looks crazy beautiful with the skeleton dial. Has been one of the conversation starter piece for sure (in a good way). Comfortable to wear and I checked the price’s online(Chrono 24) and they ain’t falling down like many reviewers say. So please give this watch a try before shitting on it. As always continue on your journey sir, waiting for more reviews. TC.

There's a lot I don't like about modern Omega. But what's with Nico's Omega/Swatch hate? Is it that he's that obsessed with rolex/tudor? I don't see how anyone would think that Tudor as a heritage line for Rolex is ever going to overtake Omega as Swatch's sort of main brand.

@fontyyy Ай бұрын

I'd say they are well on course to overtake Omega. The Swatch Group continue to devalue Omega with plastic toy fakes. Tudor continue to increase the value of their brand so much so when you see the prices in the window they look too cheap. It's inevitable.

@zachschlabach8928 Ай бұрын

@@fontyyy I see that from content creators who seem to really like tudor. But the numbers don't spell that out at all - Omega is at 7-8 of the market and tudor is 2-3. Omega has the speedy and bond and can (kinda had to believe) still justify 6500 for the implied average retail price for their watches at over 500k sold. That seems insane to me as a watch guy if you look at second hand market, but those are the numbers for 2024. Tudor on the other hand has the pelagos as an original design - which is cool, but otherwise is the Rolex heritage brand. They make 250k watches with an implied value of a little over 3k. There's just no real comparison. If rolex ever loses a bit of market share (or total market goes down) and the availability of their basic sports line becomes more attainable...tudor is going to die. Omega...IDk, it seems like they are becoming was Tag Heur was in the early 2000s. Which sucks, but I don't see at all how Tudor ever overtakes Omega. It's like the Omega copes saying they could overtake Rolex - maybe it's a little more possible then that, but both seem insane.
