The first time I saw Andrew’s face it didn’t take much time to correlate the voice, but Tom really looks nothing like what I imagined.
Andrew is handsome enough...but should go to orthodontist.😢
@@matsuitaku time for him to sell his Black Bay Fighty-Eight. 😢
Same for me, but it’s not my first time seeing his face though, somehow he doesn’t look at all like what I imagined, but I’m not sure what I imagined him like, definitely a lot different than this…. But now when I’ve seen him, now my brain says like yup, this is how a person with this voice would look like, it’s weird 😂😂😂
I kinda thought the microphones chatting with each other was funny. Not sure why they changed it.
He's Benedict Cumberbatch's long lost brother
the fact that you two finally showed your faces is deserving of so much respect. Love all your brilliant content!
this is how you inspire rule breakers
Facts
Yeah, don't tell me what to not do!!

Rules are made to be broken
I practice the subtle art of just not giving a F**K what anyone thinks about what watch I wear, how I wear it, where I wear or what brand I wear. Works great. Cheers.
I'll second that!
Exactly. I ‘follow’ some of these just bc I don’t like them personally. But I paid for my watch and I do wtf I want.
More people need to adhere to this style, don't buy what's fashionable today, it won't be tomorrow, buy what you like, if it's today's in style, great, if it's not in style, great, be you. I daily wear a Hamilton Khaki Field, working in the yard or going to a wedding, it's me.
I think you can wear your watches however you please, no one should tell you otherwise. But I think there’s a set of standards that a lot of us tend to agree with, and with men’s fashion it’s not something that’s opening talked about all the time. I would never wear sneakers with a suit but a lot of younger people love sneakers and they will. I tend to go along the lines of the classic fashion styles, for example I would never wear a sports watch with a button shirt, and a lot of people find that acceptable so at the end of the day, do you what you’d like obviously. This video is more for us, people who follow more classic style guides. Thus, this is more for our personal likings, and for those with that old fashioned gentlemanly taste from a lost time when fashion was more scrutinized. These days no one cares anyway so everything goes!

Loose bracelet comment: If a bracelet doesn't offer any micro adjustment, sometimes it's either too loose or too tight by necessity. Too tight is terribly uncomfortable, especially on warm day. So sometimes a bit too loose is unavoidable if one wants to wear that watch.
Exactly. I bought my first luxury watch 2 weeks ago and that's the story of my life lol
@@introvertswag6494 what is the watch?
@@iyzyz Tissot Prx Powermatic. I should have gone with the quartz as the 40mm is slightly too big anyways.
@@introvertswag6494 they are coming out with an automatic version of the 35mm. I’m waiting for as the 40mm is also too bulky for my wrist.
@@iyzyz Yeah I heard about the 35 automatic. Idk if I'll get it since I already have the 40mm and I can't exactly return it since it's been 3 weeks. Maybe I'll sell it to a family member but for now idk
The key to style icons like Steve McQueen was that you had to know the rules of style before you can break them
The one thing I'll say about having a loose bracelet is that since it's not always on the same place, and isn't too tight against your skin, it gets significantly less hot. Sometimes with a tight watch I have to take it off after a while because I start getting sweaty, but with a loose watch just a gentle shaking of the wrist will move it to a different spot, allowing the skin to breathe. It may not look the best, but it's way more comfortable.
That is why I favour NATO straps.
..so agree ! hate that binding feeling of something too tight around my wrist…tend to wear bracelets a little looser, straps a bit tighter but with a little room…
Wearing a bracelet loose causes wear on the pins in the links which leads to bracelet "stretch"
I grew up in a tropical island. I used to have a watch sunburn ring on my wrist…until I started wearing them looser. The sweat issue was also greatly improved. Loose is the way to go!
@@JuanPerez-sv8qs must be where the term "Hang Loose" comes from! \m/
Wearing a big G-Shock over your sleeve is one of the most comfortable and convenient ways of wearing it for oustide activities during the colder days, but when you think about it you already lost in the style category by going for an overside G-Shock, so you might as well just embrace the chaos. I surely do.
As a motorcycle delivery guy…. I wear a watch over my sleeve quite often- a Sinn 104 counting down how much time I have remaining to get the job done.
Tom deserves his own show
David Letterman : "Why are you wearing two watches?"
A besotted Peter O'Toole: "I don't want to waste time looking at the wrong wrist."
Tom is on 🔥 with the quick quips, "pull it off"
Gianni Agnelli, the famous, flamboyant CEO of Fiat in the 60s and 70s, was known to wear his watch around his dress shirt sleeves. But then again, not everyone can be Agnelli and pull off that quirky, stylish Italian flair
There was something to the mystery of not seeing their faces that made the show compelling. Still fun to listen to either way tho.
?
I, too, liked the faceless Watchfinder channel. Sigh
@@sonnenheist the way i imagined them was very different
A joy to see you in person. especially on such a frivolous and fun subject. Bless you, both.
Being following this channel for years, and lo and behold ! I finally see the face behind the voice today

Matching dials and straps to outfits is one of my main justifications for getting new stuff .... Don't take that away!
Just wear a JLC, you’ll be stylish in all circumstances!!!
Now in my case I believe the "I do, but not always" rule certainly applies when it comes to matching straps, dials and styles with outfits. That said the "not always" part of that rule applies to the when-worn-ironically category of styling to add a visual element of interest. Just having a bit of fun when possible, even if I don't leave the house!
Very humorous. And it's great to see the faces of the two of you.
The matching leathers rule rarely includes the important detail that it doesn't mean brown strap brown belt, brown shoes. You can do different shades of brown, from light to dark between the three. Don't buy tens of straps to match your shoes exactly. Also, a three set of the same brown is not trying too hard, as long as the rest of the outfit is not monochromatic.
Wrist shots should include an interesting watch and an interesting and/or attractive location and/or activity. Certain people should realise how it makes them look if they are showing off a tasteless watch AND car at the same time. They are figures of fun.
"... up-tighty whitey..." And great point about Tiffany blue suits. I appreciate both of your thoughts!
wearing it at the back of my hand. looks great. thanks for the advice.
Interesting video and topics boys, you both put a smile on my dial 😊 👍
I have a watch with a tan strap that matches a belt and shoes that I have. I probably look terribly geeky with them on, but I'm always smiling when I wear them. lol.
no ones ever mentioned what you should do if not that
This is easily the funniest watch- related video that I've ever seen. Laughed all the way through. Thanks guys! But two watches? No way.
What an absolute gem fellas! Really fun!
Great video. Also nice to get a face to the voice. One rule I never break is wearing a wrist watch with a tail-coat. For those occasions you wear a pocket watch. Preferably in your pocket and not on your vest. Not showing a watch is a way of saying this is a great party and I don’t care what time it is. Showing a watch is saying that this will probably be a dull evening …
When I was in the Navy (too long ago to be sure of my recollections) I had a shipmate who wore two watches on his left wrist. When asked why he answered “for reliability.” Otoh, he also wore his uniform off duty to save money on civilian clothes. 🤷🏻♂️
I've broken some of these rules. I have a titanium watch that feels nice wearing a little loose. Not so loose that it's flopping around, but it slides up and down over the wrist knuckle. I've also worn a watch on the outside of my sleeve, but I had 4 layers of clothes on in -30 F weather at night, and this was way easier than pulling sleeves up. And I wear 2 watches, but it's a fun watch o one wrist and a smartwatch on the other. But don't worry, when the smartwatch battery fades too much, I'm ditching it for a fitness tracking ring. That's all I need, I am so tired of wrist notifications. Sometimes I just leave my watch in theater mode all day so it doesn't alert for anything.
This video is pure hilarity! I've watched it four times already. I couldn't stop laughing. A most enjoyable video!
Leathers and metals matching, took some effort to get this one a few years ago.
Now fussily sporting matching brogues shoes, belt and strap, with buckle, case and cufflinks - warm tones or cool tones - brown with gold OR blue with silver. And, going even strickter - scarf and hat sets with all of the above. Also an all black straps and watch for black shoes, and my fabric straps matching the colours of different espadrilles -grey, navy and brown. I know, getting a bit OCD, but the key to all this is keeping choices affordable.
first class comedy - love these guys!
GG ! I really like the new format. Watches+Nice video * inside jokes + Human faces !!
Thank you for including sailors in the ‘over the top of clothes exemption group’ 👍🏼
Tom, u are an authority on watch videography!
The tail end of this conversation had me laughing out loud over my lunch. Thanks, gents!
Tom, I salute your good judgement 👍 You should be the international judge of watch style indubitably.
34mm on an 8” wrist. Hot pink strap. Style 😎
I started strong by breaking the first 3 rules, but I quietly conformed on the rest.
I was asked: why are you wearing 2 watches. I explained that only one was a "watch" the other was an activity tracker. 🙂
I am wearing my Ploprof (and others) over my sleave (mostly in the home) because it's more comfortable sometimes (I also sleep with my watch on, and it's for practical reasons).
I never wear formal attire, but I would totally wear a Ploprof on mesh with it.
Ploprofs totally belong over the sleeve and are suitable for all occasions. You sir, are a gangster.
One of the great style icons, Gianni Agnelli dared to wear his watch over the sleeve of his shirt. Dude killed it in so many ways and this is one of them.
This is my first time seeing Tom and I have to say, he looks way different from what I thought he would look like
I think it's great style to day-to-day alternate an authentic watch with it's replica. It clears the senses.
I appreciate the fact that your video shows your faces. I like to know who I'm listening to. So many videos are text to voice. Now I know you real people not a machine.
I like a black dial in fall, winter and a white dial in spring, summer
Nice one guys as usual. As for wearing two watches? Well I guess I'm guilty of that, one tells me the time and the smart one works out what time I have left given all the bio stats that it seems to know about me. It's really useful most of the time but can get it wrong occasionally and that can be expensive. Just the other month it said I'll be dead in 90 minutes (no mention in my daily horoscope of this), So I got in the car and got myself a new watch at the AD, it was only after checking the time at the AD after the usual chat, bracelet adjustment and payment that I checked the time on time telling watch that I realised that 90 minutes had expired over an hour ago. So the moral of this story is that if your smart watch says you only have 90 minutes left do not drive silly fast to the watch AD as you could end up killing yourself (and others). Read the paper instead. Anyone want to buy my smart watch?
back in the late 80s it was very cool to wear several Swatch's while out BMX riding. Swatch was a big sponsor of freestyle teams. And it worked! I wore 3 or 4 at a time. I was cool!
mr hands has a face?
honestly this makes the podcast format MUCH more approachable for me. Awesome change.
Back in my Royal Air Force days in Cyprus (1970's) we used to wear a Seiko over a white tennis sweat band with the bracelet length maxed out. I mean all the time and everywhere. Practical and we thought at the time super cool. Try doing that now...!
Trivia time: In the 1970s, RAF Akrotiri was infamous as being the site where the ‘Lincolnshire Poacher’ numbers station was broadcast to the Middle East.
Still very cool. Thanks for the idea
You both have very relaxing voices
I do usually match a tan leather band with a tan leather belt and tan leather shoes, and I also usually try to match or at least combine the dial color with the color palette of my outfit, but not because of those are rules I must follow, but because I'm a simple and plain guy who finds easier to have everything with the same color, than trying to coordinate different colors. You wear whatever watch you feel right and makes you happy.
About wearing a large/larger watch with formal attire, that brings to mind James Bond wearing a divers watch with a tux. Not saying there's anything wrong with that, and he does make wearing a 42mm divers watch look good with a tux
Shots fired, Nico!
I wear it on the "nodule" just fits me best watch is in the perfect reach for me everytime also helps when your wearing jackets and stuff and just helps it from getting sunken into the sleeve.
LOVE you guys finally ditching the microhpone visuals for facecams !
Game changing! 😂
This is the first time I'm seeking the face of that silky smooth voice
I'm on board with the last rule.
On the 'nodule at the wrist' beyond which one's watch may not go, I think people with thin wrists have more of a nodule, and on those of us with larger proportions that feature might not stick out so much, so a strap sized to fit correctly will fit down over this area as well as further up.
Yo this is hilarious. TOM in my head was a young guy. With a perpetual smile on his face as he made comments. His humor always makes me chuckle :)
You know how you never know what someone's face looks like when you hear their voice beforehand? Yeah. Mad. Keep bringing us this great content lads
Said it before and I'll say it again, these two are the Kermode and Mayo of the watch world. Banter galore 😂
The late Gianni Agnelli, an Italian style icon, always wore his watches over his sleeves. He could pull it off very nicely
I limit myself to a mechanical watch with a clear caseback so I can watch it in action. Cost me about $150 CDN and I love it. Cheers from Canada,
I wear my watches just down the wrist bone... I've wear suits for a long time and is more easy to see the time when the watch is just below the wrist bone... So i just got use this way... Regards from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
My first glimpse of Tom!!!!
My cream tie with white blue stripes with my light blue dress shirt. A very well with my Tiffany blue dial Rolex copy
I've been a loose wearing fella for what seems like forever. It feels comfortable to be able to let the watch slide a little, including over 'the nodule'. The only downside is that occasionally the crown can leave a rub mark on the back of the hand, but it is survivable.
NOT if you wear the watch on your right hand... which I have done since I was a kid in defiance of social convention and due to the following logic:
1. I am right handed, so should wear it there (I am not so stupid that I cannot put the watch ON using my LEFT hand!)
2. To make the crown the most comfortable when my hand flexes, it should be pointing up the arm, NOT in towards the fold between wrist and arm!!!!
@@TheSnookerGym I already wear my whoop band on my right wrist.
Kim Jong Un was spotted wearing two watches. Tell him he can't.
I wear my rolex deepsea with a suit and it just looks fantastic
4:46 the Rolex AD said they put in ceramic pin liners on the bracelet to try and mitigate the bracelet stretch caused by wearing your watch too lose. my day date is fitted above the wrist bone, but I find that when I ball my fist and flex my hand towards the thumb, the bracelet feels a little tight.
"If you can pull it off, then fine ... _somebody_ probably will, if they see it." 😆
A bit of watch history trivia: Gianni Agnelli (chairman of Ferrari) had an allergy to metals, which is why he wore his watch (most famously, an Omega "Ploprof") on the outside of his sleeve. A small number of fashion victims thought it was a style statement, and adopted the "look".
I do know someone, a physiotherapist, wearing two watches all the time. Surprisingly, it’s quite a unique style.
Andrew you look very stylish today, even the designer earmuffs look stunning on you!
Ahh...passion to a dangerously high level
I like it
These are now so much funnier being able to see your expressions than just b-roll 😂
It is so funny, I just bought a pair of socks with dark blue light blue transition, I think it's very spectacular, like a faded blue dial on a Deepsea and it's also fitting to my blue Samurai :-)
About wearing a watch over your sleeve: I recently developed an allergy to leather straps, particularly in warm weather. Either I replace an excellent original leather strap for a second=grade rubber replacement or I wear the watch over the shirt sleeve..
Im not allergic but have very sweaty wrists. Bracelets are the answer. Try it out, you might enjoy it too. 😊
I wear a watch on my left, and a Fitbit Inspire 3 on my right. It’s a super slim fitness tracker that can tell the time, but I never use it for that.
Is that a foul?
Hublot watches were the first to put a rubber strap on a watch. Anyone afraid to say Hublot should man up. Wear what you like. Despite what Nico says. He had a chance to say what was on his mind at W&Ws and again he waited until he was outside to bad mouth Hublot and GS behind their backs. Thanks guy’s
Yes. Do whatever you want. Own it. The reason McQueen was cool is that he didn't give a rat's ass. I learned about the RAF guys wearing Seikos over tennis wristbands in this comment section, and I am intrigued. I don't like a tight watch, but I also can't stand tight clothing. I dont wear it on the hand either, but if you like then, then f-ing do it. I love Andrew and Tom - brilliant stuff. Great to see fellow nerds have a voice! Now I am really wondering, seriously, what other possibilities are there: wear it through a pocket; on a hat...
I often wear a square gshock together with an automatic especially when travelling.
I liked the images of the microphones better. connected with the deadpan delivery they usually go for
So, in the summer, you should indeed wear a pair of leather shoes one day, then let them rest for at least two days. Same would probably apply to leather straps, otherwise they start to smell and stink and disintegrate fast….
I do tend to coordinate my straps with my belt and shoes, but I tend to buy all of those in cognac/whiskey colour, so that makes it easier for me. Aside from that I’m mostly a bracelet guy when it comes to my watches.
On my left wrist: diver with nato that contrasts nicely with the dial- and gets rotated often just for fun. Right wrist: Apple Watch while I’m working. I’m not sure if I’m breaking rules or making rules. 🤔
The only one that was ok to wear the watch OVER the shirt sleeve, was Gianni Agnelli, Fiat owner and launcher of many trends back then. A true style icon, check him out :)
WoW! Can finally "put a face" to all those Superlatively narrated videos. Great to "see you" Sir. :)
"Oh, I just threw this on, it just happened to look great."
That's an Italian fashion concept called "sprezzatura."
Regarding the cheap suit /expensive watch, rule,, I've been walking round the block, a few times each day, trying to exercise my "dodgy" leg, (yep, it's gradually getting better 😊)
I look like a limping tramp,, in clothes unfit for a charity bag, and a well past it, pair of trainers,, but I've got a five and a half grand Omega, on my wrist, so I'm happy,, 🤣🤣 (apart from the painfull ankle,, 😢,,) great /funny video btw,, 👍
Well, I bought a Casio G-LIDE watch in December 2022 online at near hal;f-price, teal-colour, and discovered to my delight that it totally colour matched a whole bunch of polo-shirts that I have. Fortuitous or what? And I wear the combo to see if anyone notices. They bloody well don't to my chagrin. Living in a tropical clime means I don't have to worry about sweaters or jackets (except when I'm on my motor-bike, and I can't read the time properly on electronic speedo binnacle). So I wear a watch on the outside of my jacket, stealing a glance at the time when it's safe to do so (or even if it's not).
I can't wear a watch if it is not flat on my wrist, I can't understand people wearing loose watches. I do agree with wear a different watch every other day.
You two and Teddy Baldassare and maybe Tom Ford are who I turn to as style references.
My wife wears my Tudor Pelagos LHD super loose (she doesn’t adjust it down from my size) and it looks great on her. I don’t think I could pull that look off though!
Didnt finish the video yet but replying to the title:
PFFT!😂
As regards wearing a watch and a smartwatch I think Sony's Wena 3 would be a great compromise. It's like a Fitbit that also functions as a watch bracelet/strap clasp/buckle.
I’ll also say that smart rings may work, depending on the functionality you’re after. Notification tracking obviously doesn’t work, but health and fitness stuff does.
I love this Podcast. I always thought that I am not a podcast guy but you two… Always a pleasure: Nice voices, funny dudes who losen up such a „conservative“ niche
Ad "loose watch" - If a watch sits tight on my wrist, it feels nice, until it starts to strangle my hand, which takes a minute. That's why I wear it loose-ish, with the option to slide it to a different position and back, for relief. If I'm walking and it slides below my wrist, no big deal.
Ever since I started having health issues, I wear a Apple watch on my right to help monitor my heart. I can't give up my mechanical watch though.
The day my mum forgot to wear it...she had a fall.
Big hands small wrist, and my current watches are either slightly too tight or slightly too lose, so I go with too loose as if I wear them too tight I’ll sweat under the watch and have in the past developed a rash and had to go watch less while it healed.
