I'm an old diver dude so I have always loved the classic diver like your original Tag and the Rolex Submariner. I am also fascinated at the skill that goes into beautiful mechanical watches and I actually had a Submariner years ago. Having said all that, I like accuracy, and my go to watch is a Citizen, Eco Pro, Diver. It's dead accurate, runs on solar power, is a rugged practical watch that I use diving as well as every day, and runs about $250 CDN. If I was ever tempted into the luxury watch arena again I think I would go for the Grand Seiko, Spring Drive. Thanks for another entertaining video sir.

Hey Kym - you should have concluded with your magnificent "watch vault"! I'm jealous not only by the number of beautiful watches in your collection, but because it automatically winds them for you! I don't always wear my TAG and therefore, it stops all the time. I am constantly setting and winding it - often having to reset the date too! Next time I'll get a battery operated one!

@miggygetright6344 Жыл бұрын

Get one of the automatic movers for watches, not sure the price point, but it’s like a small box which spins your watch, my dad has it for the ones he doesn’t wear often.

@miggygetright6344 Жыл бұрын

Maybe some drivers are not into watches and just wear them to please sponsors. However, it does not see, to be case of Hulk. He has himself an Audemars Piguet and a Rolex Daytona. So, it is someone who clearly collects them.

@cnhnx Жыл бұрын

You'd think a watch with fitness tracker functionality is better fit for these athletes. Doesn't even need to be full smartwatch or connected all the time, just basic ones would suffice. Heck, for just time keeping with durability in mind, astronauts and soldiers often just settled with simple G-Shock that can be found less than $100. These luxury brands are only good to wear strutting around the paddock.

@brianpercival1829 Жыл бұрын

This is my groove, watches. Noway do I pay A.D. prices and forget waiting for a Rolex. In my collection, a gold Day Date President and a standard black face Datejust. a quarter of the price paid buying watches at estate sales or pawn shops. Both Rolexes not working when purchased, tear down and rebuilds, the Datejust came in a zip baggy in pieces, owner died in a motorcycle accident wearing the watch. New case, new back cover, new bezel, new crystal, new escapment wheel and its jewels replaced. Expensive in parts, but looks and runs like new. I never know what I will find walking into an estate auction or pawn shop, but that is half the fun finding bargains.

Haas had Cyrus last year, a Swiss maker, they even made some special watches for the team. I think the partnership ended but they still follow each others sm handles. They still sponsor Pietro Fittipaldi though.

I'm always amazed that a low end watch company like Timex or Seiko hasn't been brought onboard by a team for free to show the world, we are not a team not of snobby elitists (which the sport has become) but of the common spectator. It would be good PR. Just an idea Haas.
