I own this model watch (brown dial) and I love it. I work at an aquarium and I have had it salt water more times than I can count. As for materials my favorites are silver, bronze, jade, amber, and depleted uranium.

I think tungsten is real cool for a couple of reasons. It's got the highest melting and boiling point of any element, as well as being extremely hard making it super scratch resistant and durable. It's got a cool naturally dark grey color that I prefer over steel or silver. Oh, and it's also called wolfram which is kinda badass

Favorite material is bronze hands down. My first bronze watch was a Glycine airman GMT 44mm. From the moment I put it in my wrist I fell in love with it. Bronze is very unique and vintage looking, it pairs best with brown leather and a coffee coloured dial. Also bronze looks particularity attractive and so natural on darker skin. Much respect David

Bronze is mine. My father owned an Industrial Marine supply, so I was always around marine equipment which was usually bronze. I have this watch and the look of it and... Strange as it sounds... Smell of this watch takes me back to being a kid and working with my Dad.

One of the nice things about patina is that it’s a protective oxide layer. Bronze doesn’t rust through like iron does. That’s why we can find 3,000 year old Shang bronze vessels almost perfectly preserved, but 50 year old steel cars are piles of rust.

i genuinely thought that this was a bark and jack video from the thumbnail

I have this watch, I love it. The arabics stolen straight from big brother’s (Explorer 1016) closet really sets it apart from the rest of the BB catalog. That and the color way just make this an incredible casual watch. Not versatile, but that makes it even more of a baller move LOL.

Yellow gold. Nothing quite like it. Yellow gold can change your entire mood the second you put it on. Yes, yellow gold is a softer metal which makes it more fragile, but that only adds to the character. Having to handle it with extra care and the added maintenance only makes it that much more precious.

One of the things that few people realize today is that none of the early Tudors were "officially certified chronometers". That was the big difference between Tudor and Rolex back then!

White gold. It looks cheaper than it is. Just like me. It was also great to see bark & jack on this channel, have him here more often.

Gold. Because its gold. Its crazy that steel pieces are skyrocketing in price compared to gold watches. I like the heft👍

Favorite Material: White Gold, can be mistaken for steel and I love the fact that a precious metal can be so understated. My mind immediately goes to the white gold GMT with the midnight-blue dial. This is a watch that looks like the Steel GMT, minus the blue dial and if you were to meet a fellow watch geek, they'd know... but if you showed it to a casual (non-collector) type of person, they'd likely think it is steel :)

Personally I'm a fan of the cheap steel cases with a thin gold plating that rubs away after a few years. I think it's the quintessential watch material that everyone's grandpa has at least one of.

A favorite metal material of mine is SM-100. Originally created for aerospace ball bearings it was taken on by custom Knife-makers to make blades out of. When heat treated it takes on a mainly gold color, has a high Rockwell when hardened, yet still has some flexibility to it while being able to keep great edge retention and corrosion resistance.

I love gold! The look of it! The smell of it! The taste of it! The texture! I love gold so much that I lost my genitalia in an unfortunate smelting accident.

Hands down coolest material is Aerogel. If y’all haven’t heard it, look it up. Seriously it’s some pretty cool stuff. It’s a solid comprised of 99.8% air! 🤯 has incredible insulation properties and if you cover yourself in it you can become completely hydrophobic! 🐠

My favorit summer watch. Get a tan first then go rockin'

I adore my Black Bay Bronze. Nice honest review. Thanks jgm

That intro impression is on point! Lol! Great upload! Great watch!

I really love that many brands are getting into new materials. Possibilities are endless. I like bronze, just to stand out, but in general platinum is the grail (patek philippe, daytona etc), just because growing up rappers and all sorts of "cool people" talked about having platinum. Ball out

Interesting piece. Enjoyed it. Regards.

Stainless steel. It's accessible, it can be finished in various ways with many different features: high polished, satin, brushed and my favorite which is brushed with high polished bevels! Each manufacturer does it differently which and so no brushed or satin watch will look really the same. Take for instance the brushed finished sides of omega seamaster and speed master, compared to the brushed finish of a rolex, its completely different. Steel for the win!

Rose gold is my pick. Warm, elegant, dressy and works well with white, black, blue, grey or brown dials.

Only saw this today. Doing a “deep dive” into bronze dive watches (see what I did there 😉), as I’ve been modding a few Seiko bronze submariners, a “Bluesy”, a “Rootbeer” GMT, and I have a “Sprite” GMT coming up. Great looking watch, I really like the orange bezel.

My favorite material BY FAR is the real swiss cheese + resin composite in the H. Moser Swiss Mad Watch. I like what it stands for, it's genius and insane at the same time.

My favorite material is carbon fiber. I’m a sucker for CF, in car parts, bicycle parts...everything!! I love the engineering behind it and the fact that it’s always purposely designed for the end result and proper CF is never haphazardly done

Favorite material is platinum. It's totally bad ass without being gaudy like yellow gold can sometimes be. Someday I'll get a platinum watch! Someday!

Bronze, its patina development is fascinating and I love the way my tudor is now unique to me.

Sterling silver, rarely used for watches because its a bit soft but the patina is awesome and for a fine dress watch I think its a very interesting material

My favorite material vachetta leather. Love watching it patina, stain & tell a story. Seeing the Sweaty Chicago days or hooking up while still having my jewelry on. All those life stripes

Tantalum. Rarely seen and done but when done right it looks unique but not flashy.

The ultimate material for watches in my personal opinion is just stainless steel, is rugged, timeless and history has shown that certain steel variants can fetch a premium over precious metals.

Leather. I was in the Household Cavalry and we had a saddlers workshop on the barracks. I loved the smell and ruggedness of that place. They were always reluctant to help you out though - unless you brought coffee and Oreos.

My favorite material is titanium because of the weight

Tantalum with that blueish dull tone is really beautiful. Can't get enough of looking at it. Check out the Journe Chronomètre Bleu for reference. The Zelos Titanium Damascus case is also really beautiful and unique on the other end of the price spectrum.

Thia one is very cool and simple wish i have this kind if watch.

Gold, I got my first gold watch

I've heard alot of bad stories about the bronze..build up green patina under bezel so it wont rotate... corrison on the bezel from the reaction of the bronze..

LEATHER, yes leather, I guess in the watch world they only think of leather for straps, but in the shoe and boot world the quality of leather is everything, from what part of the animal it comes to how it’s been tanned, weather by tanning with organic materials or chemically, leather is long lasting, and because of it it patinas as well, in a way leather weather in shoes bags or jackets also tells stories just like watches.

White gold, has the weight of gold but it is understated.

Steel. There's a reason why it's the most ubiquitous metal for watches. It's durable polishes up well has a good amount of weight. I love how it's cold to the touch. It's hard to beat steel for the price.

Carbon fiber, it’s the best material for cars. Carbon fiber monocoque chassis, body components, and it looks cool. Oh this is a watch channel, um carbon fiber, it’s super light weight, and Richard Mille uses them, and I like them.

My favorite material is by far platinum. It might sound decadent at first but it brings a touch of luxury that steel won't while still being an understatement Because most people think it might be steel. It just has this touch of dressiness that no other material makes me feel!

I love stainless steel with a sandblasted finish, like on the Hamilton khaki field watch. It’s been my everyday watch for almost two years and has minimal to no scratches and dents

I love any material that patinas over time. As an architect I'm almost bound to say concrete and copper. Would love to see a watch with those 2 materials... somehow...

That intro was 100%!

High resistance to creep, nice 👌. Since you didn't specify what the material is for I'd have to say Cuben Fabric; it's an ulta-high molecular weight, high density fiber that is randomly pressed in fabric. It's used in space applications, america's cup sails, and body armor. Amazing stuff and dare I say, space-age.

Great vid, bud. Metal? Love two. 1. Tantulum. It is heavy, thick, harder to scratch and that blueish/gray. Oh boy. 2. Yellow Gold. Love because it lush, flash, and super Sopranos.

I have a bunch of Rolex watches but oddly my favorite watch is my Tudor Pelagos made from titanium. Durable and light and has this nice no business look. Rolex needs to make a titanium watch as well someday soon. For a tool watch there is no better material. Worse material - 18kt gold- I have a sub in all gold and it is so delicate that it can hardly be worn.

I love leather straps, so leather is the material i would choose. Leather is great as it ages well, besides that it can be classy, dressy, sassy on certain people ;) and casual its great aswell. There is leather strap for every occasion and i just love the feel of leather on my wrist! Also love to see Michael he is a great addition to the team.

I will sound cliche but for the material depends on the occasion BUT to be honest there is nothing quite like a scratched up stainless steel on a diver.

Rose gold for me,it looks a cut above most metals and adds a classy touch!!

Weird one but... 14K yellow gold, 18K is so shiny and flashy but 14K is a lot less noticeable but it still has that incredibly nice gold look.

I enjoy my Tudor I went with the pelagos which I just find it works more with my style and type of clothing I enjoy wearing...Tudor is a solid brand exciting to see what the come out with next

Have this watch as well as other bronze pieces. I prefer the asthetics of bronze. I enjoy watching my bronze pieces develop the unique patina while wearing them. Especially when diving in saltwater

My favourite material is cashmere, cause it's so buttery soft. Sadly, engineers have yet to find a way how to make a watch out of the stuff.

White Gold Such an underrated metal, flies under the radar, is substantial (but not as heavy as plat.) But now: The way how white gold patinas, is just insane!!! It gets this warm hue that is simple stunning. Just search for a vintage beat up Lange 1 im WG 😍

My favorite material is sting ray leather.

Favorite material is platinum. Epic heft and weight and doesn't need recoating like other precious metals. If you want you can't throw a jewelry item at someone and do some serious damage.

A 24mm strap fits fine. Its a non issue

The Adrian impression😂

I purchased a tudor pelagos blue @ 8 months ago. I love the blue color , the Lum is stronger than the rolex sub I own. and the Titanium bracelet is wonderful. I think it is a great watch . ~ JDS/CT. be safe.

MY FAVORITE MATERIAL ON WATCHES IS BRONZE BECAUSE OF THE PATINA IT CREATES. I HAVE ONE AND AFTER USING IT IN THE SEA IT TURNS IN TO A BLUE PURPLISH COLOR THAT IS JUST AMAZING. ON THE LUME I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE RADIUM I THINK IT HAD A GRATE SHINE WHEN THEY USED IT IN VINTAGE WATCHES,.AND ALSO OVER TIME OMG, IT LOOKS PERFECT SPECIALLY IN THE ROLEX SUBMARINER. BUT WELL I DO UNDERSTAND THIS MATERIAL WAS A BIG ISSUE FOR THE INDUSTRY. AND the LAST TANTALUM THAT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ITS LIKE A DARK GREY METAL THAT GIVES ALSO LIKE A BLUE COLOUR DEPENDING ON THE ANGLE. BTW MY FAVORITE WATCH ON THIS MATERIAL IS THE CHORNOMETRE BLUE.

Without thinking about it much. Without hesitation. Tungsten carbide. I like the fact that ceramics incorporate tungsten but to me they're unnecessary brittle. Someone could try to make it of metal and see how monstrously heavy could it be.

Steel because of the look and the weight. Steel or aged leather for strap: the first for the feel, the second for the look. But if you are asking for the "favourite substance"...neither of the previous its gonna be the answer 😏

Favourite material (pertaining to watches) would have to be wood. Rolex used to make wooden dial on day dates, fashioned on gold it looks brilliant. Wish they brought this classy look back! 😝

Unobtainium of course 💫

What a color!!! And the strap is perfect!!!

I like titanium. I have small wrists and it let's me pull off watches with a slightly larger diameter without having to feel like a huge chunky piece.

Best material...Mokume. This is like Damascus but it is copper and nickel. That would be so cool on a watch

So much great information.

Can you do a video on all the watch materials? Pros and cons of each material...

Is this watch a daily durable? Can it take a knock on stone and metal?

My favorite material is steel. You can do some really cool and interesting things with metallurgy. Nitrogen-based steels are virtually rust-proof. LC200N is an example. It was used by NASA for ball bearings, but has found its way into other markets. Then you add the heat treat process on top of the chemistry. Lots of cool stuff is happening in the world of steel (not that it is always applicable to watches).

Titanium: ages like a fine wine.

My favorite material has to be white gold, at first glance you would think it’s steel, but just like John Mayer would say get a little bit closer and you will realize it’s something much more special. Perfect example of “if u know u know”. Havind said tha, it’s kind of funny that we, humans, are the ones who attribute such value to gold when it’s just like every other metal.

No one that I've seen does it but I think silver would make a cool watch material with it's antibacterial properties and ability to patina.

Magnesium super light and highly flammable. like really flammable

I love my Tudor black bay burgundy

Watched this after seeing the vlog, no regrets

Favorite material I’ve experienced: a pretty small/niche watch brand called Bertucci made watches out of anodized Aluminum - my friend had one and not only is the watch suuuuuuper light but also durable and comfortable (disappeared on the wrist)

If ....Or could you find out this pc...The percentage of alloy and copper. Appreciate :) because this pc looks not the same as Oris Big Crown Bronze case.

Nice vid! I have owned my Tudor BB Heritage since new in 2017. It has a very nice darker gray bronze look now and it has become one of favorite watches for daily wear. I discovered something great about it when looking for another strap to replace the original leather one, which was a bit too small for my wrist. Also I didn’t like the color of the OEM leather either. Anyway, I own a Panerai 1351 which I usually wear on the brown rubber strap mostly so I have the leather strap that came with the Panerai and it turns out that it fits the Tudor Heritage very well. And the Tudor buckle fits perfect too. Now I know the Panerai strap is a 24mm and the Tudor lugs are 23mm in size but what’s 1mm between the lugs? Nothing, trust me, so try it if you have one in your box. You’ll be happy!

Nice to see different materials being experimented with like bronze. Just wonder if passing fad/trend and owners will be stuck with an expensive over patina-ed luxury watch. I don't recall the last time I was ever excited about flashing my over oxidized penny collection? I also don't think I would be able to discuss my watch to a watch enthusiast wearing an all steel or gold tutor/rolex. That being said....why do I STILL want this watch!? Something about it that I just need to have. And thanks to Theo and Harris now I'm on the website constantly hitting refresh waiting for it to go up on the website to see it posted for sale like it's a PS5!

I love the Rolex 904l steel because of how durable it is, but grand Seiko has some bangers with their sports line and their ceramics. Def not the same stuff your plant pots are made of

Gotta say sterling silver is my favorite material!

I guess I like unobtanium as it seems to be what most luxurywatches are made of, and I just can't afford that.

I love my Navy Blue Black Bay 58. I managed to order this version from a boutique. When it arrived, I could not warm up to it (I tried). You need to wear mostly earth-tone clothing. It was never going to work with my blue shirts (in the videos, it's hard to understand this). Many photos make it look dark, like it would go with a wider variety of clothing. In person (in most daylight), the bezel looks like a beautiful copper, and the chocolate brown on the dial dominates it. I even tried my shirts that are camouflage green. The combination did not pop for me. I dumped this watch quickly within a day (at a significant loss). DO NOT ORDER IT ONLINE WITHOUT TRYING IT ON FIRST. It's not the bronze metal that is the problem. It's the copper/chocolate combination on the bezel and dial. More than any other Black Bay, try this on before buying.

gold because after a few years of owning it I can say yeah its old but its gold.

Rose gold, because cool.

Brand my materials for me daddy UwU UN Carbonium - can kill Superman Rolex Rolesor - extinct for millions of years Oysterflex - a badass wrestling move

Adamantium... that would be so awesome! best beater watch!

Titanium and Yellow gold are my favorites.

White gold. I like how understated it is, like a “stealth wealth” if you will.

Vibranium. If it’s good enough for black panther it’s good enough for me.

Power reserve? Christian’s not here. In a mere 70 hours, this video will fade from memory . . .

Steel...obviously...maybe titanium ... obviously

Ceramic dial world make it a home run. However, I still love it.

Whatever the material of the Theo and Harris strap is in this competition 😉 Seriously though that new honey gold used by Lange in their new collection. I can’t believe it has never been used before, it’s the dream 🤤

Platinum- it’s just a stealth metal, not as flashy as yellow gold but worth more
