This is what I have been waiting for from Watchfinder for a long time. The work done by these maisons need to be shown and shared - to appreciate the delicate artistry that goes into the higher end watches and why they cost so much. I am seeing 10k views so far and less than 1k likes/thumbs up. Really disappointing that the likes are so few. For those who are watching it more than 5x, I hope you have shared the video with more people. p.s. I hope Watchfinder & Co. team were allowed to go through VC's archives to show the extent of their watch designs and collections of the past.

Most subscribers are still going to be after status baubles. And not especially bothered about the painstaking process of hand made watch manufacture. That’s why Andrew and Tom have had to resort to comedy heavy watch related sketches to attract subscribers. The same crowd who watch nico et Al. It’s what sells on KZfaq unfortunately

I had this watch a few days after release (lovely AD!). I’ve a just-under 7” wrist. I’m a fan of 36mm DJ and OPs, and whilst I’ve had Subs, Planet Oceans and Seamasters, I’ve gravitated toward 36mm sizes now (mostly because I don’t want the lugs to hang over, even from the side profile). I found the watch fit superbly at 37mm and was beautifully made. It wore like a 37.5/38mm to me (the Certina DS Action Diver was another 38mm I tried before the Tudor, and it wore similar in my mind). If you like the aesthetics, I’d heartily recommend it! Get it on wrist and try it. In the end, I sold it to another watch lover (IDGuy, if you know him) as I truly seem to have found my preference and prefer plain bezels, such as those found on an OP. Go figure…!

Hi Andrew! I know it's a stretch trying to reach y'all through a random comment section, but I've been wondering how other manufacturers (specifically, Omega is my jam, always been) store parts for their watches, and what kind of parts inventory they have. At 26 (ignore my picture hahah) I have two Omega Seamaster Diver 300M's, one from 2006 and one from this year, and I'm kind of afraid about whether there'll be enough parts for these for the next few decades until I either kick the bucket, or have someone in my family to pass it down to as a dad or granddad Thanks, Fred's Walnuts
