Okay, there’s no way that the Rolex 16610 Submariner could possibly be a Hidden Gem, right? The most-iconic, end-all dive watch…a hidden gem?

Wow, for a little moment I was taken to heaven, the video compliments the watch perfectly, the moon captures my mind from childhood, when I was at boarding school I would some times wake up crying missing my nan, and I would look out the window to look.up at the moon knowing it was shining over her and maybe she may been looking up at it also, this watch isn't my cup of tea in style but I appreciate it for ellagance and sophistication, I don't no why but watching this video made me think of my land the dales the white cliffs of Dover, the simple life. But the watch is far from simple in design, but the body that holds such complication is lovely and simple. To me, that's like a Rolls Royce. Sorry people if I've not spelt correctly or done the best of grammar I have dyslexia regards Ian
When we study horology, there is no way to set JLC out of the the top 3 dogs in the industry. JLC is either the #1 watch brand in the world or #2. Audemars Piguet might be top 10 but never top 3.
I watched this whole thing hoping he would explain the difference between the must and the Louis, nada 🤦
Excellent really excellent explanation by a. Real Expert. No bla bla bla
Royal Oak for men. Nautilus for boys.
My 3 watch collection 1) 116610ln Submariner date 2) DJ41 Azzurro blue dial 3) Santos de Cartier large 2 tone.
I have a ceramic f1 cau2010, I had 2 jeweller basically laugh at me because it’s " not fashionable"
I absolutely love my 124060! The most perfect watch!
Poor explanation. Point. You didn’t even show the dial. They are nearly perfect. I collect not only the originals of various watches but their 1:1 copies. Just for the hell of it. They are so good you have to open the back to see the movement. Not showing the dial comparison was a dead giveaway. Get a super rep. Don’t open the back case. Then show the comparison.
I believe no man can say no to #amzwatch
#MaMaCoo 's watch really surprises me!
Got a pristine 1999 Swiss only, I’m the 2nd owner, the original owner kept it in a safe most of its life. Has full set and was serviced in 2020 before I owned it. My favorite in my collection.

This question is for Rolex experts here: When the back of a Rolex GMT (or Submariner) is opened, does the watch need to be pressurized for proper water-proofing?
Just got the left hand sprite … this helps a ton
Should GMT time not be 23 hundred hours ?
I’m a quartz fan. My longines vhp gmt is my daily. My 2.5k mechanical never gets worn. My next and final watch will be a GS with a 9F movement. Accuracy and cheaper servicing just wins it for me.
Never ever buy Tag heuer, bad service, some are made by seiko, the caliber 16 is trash, stay away from them .
What do you think about the Tankissime?
GMT to San Fran time is 7hrs not 8 btw
Dudes, great video. And how cool is Sid?! What a genuine and magnetic personality. I wanna grab a beer with that guy.

Airline pilots are college-educated professionals. Do they really need a $20,000 stainless steel watch to tell them what time it is in the cities they are flying to? Heck, even I can figure that out.
I just bought a Batman. I don’t like gmt
The cose for the quartz watch is pretty much the same as the case for the mechanical watch, but maybe a bit thinner.
Isn't there a bezel where it is like 13, 14, 15.. and lastly 23?
Now this is why a digital watch was born
As a broke boy and actual enthusiast who wants watch’s prices to crater, mamacoo is a good choice.
Just bought a Montblanc Star Legacy Moon Phase today. Figured out how to set all but the moon phase and this helped. Thank you!
At 10:28 the stated accuracies are very exaggerated. Run of the mill quartz is off by 15 seconds per month not tenths of a second per month as stated in the video. The superquartz is +/- 10 seconds per year accurate not tenths of a second per year. Citizen caliber 0100 is the most accurate quartz and that is 1 second per year accurate .
WOW!!! If this guy is not the epitome of a Rolex watch nerd I don't know who is! Yikes! I couldn't even make it through the first 5 minutes. The submariner is cliche anyways. Actually, all Rolex's are cliches.
i agree just take that horrid rubber band off it and put a propper leather strap on it
What happen to Nathan. Haven’t seen him after HODINKEE bought
You have got to appreciate these technical videos from C&C, informative and nicely done. It's too bad it has gone to the crapper since it got bought out by Hodinkee.
Breitling says it's only waterproof to 50m. You should correct that in your video.
As a watch enthusiast with over a dozen automatic and mechanical movements, I regularly wear a $20 Casio and have just purchased my first high end quartz watch. There are extreme benefits, and I am coming around to quartz actually being a superior mechanism...because technically it isn't even comparable. Quartz is king. Automatic and mechanical are beautiful and artistic, but simply not as technologically advanced.
So do you guys keep it running all the time or only when timing something??
The bottom pusher on my dayona wont push if it’s running.
Clear explanation, good animations, quiet delivery and no padding. Well done! .
Sorry, but nope. The 114060 with it's blocky case is visual perfection to me. But I have to say, that 50 hour power reserve is damn interesting and impressive.
Tell the IRS it’s a great tool lol
Tag Heuer is so underrated in watches. My Formula 1 watch I was purchased back in 2006 as a graduation watch. It still works to this day because you cannot go wrong. At the end of the day, they are good watches and affordable. If you want, you can go with an upgraded Carrera that will be my next one. I like the Formula one but the Carrera will be my next watch.
Please help and put both the Tudor GMT next to a Rolex GMT, both watches shown from the side, so we can see the difference in their thickness. Most Tudor GMT owners complain is that it is too thick. The Rolex GMT is 12mm thick, while the Tudor GMT is 14.6mm. So the Tudor GMT is 2.6mm thicker than a Rolex GMT. Thanks.
I don’t miss a day a week #mamacoo This show...
Guys sitting in an armchair next to whisky wearing a white lab coat, loafers and a baseball cap. This is very confusing.
When your parents walk in on you furiously winding your watch.
Mine keeps excellent time after 12 years and zero servicing.
Whoever thought of this was a legend 💯♥️
Almost a useless function. Simple math is a lot faster than messing with the crown
