Very well narrated. Professional in scope and content as we have come to expect. Excellence is standard.
I can live with any modern bracelet but if the clasp doesn’t have easy on the fly adjustment it won’t be in my watch case!
Great discussion. A bracelet can make or break a sport watch. Personally, I'm a fan of Seiko's Marinemaster level bracelet clasps. Yes, a bit basic and stamped, but the adjustment is large and quick and they are very sturdy, reliable and don't jam in the field and they work on your wrist. Rolex are finer but a bit fussy (about a million small springs!) and the dive extension on the Sea Dweller is crude and bulky. Not a fan of the Deep Sea's extension either. Omega's best are very good - as well machined as Rolex, very secure and reasonably adjustable. I prefer some micro adjustment, but the bracelet should fit with link removal.
We hear a lot about collar & pins vs. split pins vs. screw pins etc., but don't these methods only apply to the removable links? How are the non-removable links held together? Presumably with some sort of fixed pin. You generally can't see the end of the pin (no holes in the sides on the non-removable links), so there is no obvious way to tell.
Excellent overview on bracelets! Thank you for posting.
I find your podcast are fine especially that they’re complimented with photos or/and pictures. The content is much more important than the dynamics of show & tell👍
Enjoyable and informative. Thanks Armand.
I know it is quite randomly asking but do anyone know a good site to watch new tv shows online ?
@Micah Khalid Flixportal :D

@@drewsleyy3836 Cheers. No wonder I failed to notice.
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is my favorite metal WATCH and BRACELET. I love those octagonal cases and that stunning design.
Armand, I'm seriously considering a Tudor North Flag, obviously the integral bracelet is a major factor in the design and you have experience of it, so my question is this- is the bracelet of good durable & comfortable quality? Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
The speedy moon watch bracket felt very cheap in my opinion and actually makes the watch feel like it should cost less
I was very unimpressed with a pre owned, though pristine Rolex Daytona I examined (at the usual highly inflated price) for this very reason. The bracelet was very jangly and the perception was cheap!
And the locking mechanism is a piece of fuc#ing wire. What a joke. I know I have one.
excellent video, don’t listen to the haters! Thank you for all this valuable perspective / info, really appreciate it ⏰
very informative
The constant ads fo podcast is annoying, I have to turn off and stop watching. otherwise a good topic. sorry
I dont think you will succeed with podcasts, sorry. Its a third best form of communication. Over and out.
Came here for a video, not your narration.
