Here on Andrew Morgan Watches I want to bring you all the best on watches from my personal perspective. There's watch reviews, expert reactions, top 10 lists, the best and worst of the industry and a whole bunch of memes, too. So if you like Swiss watches, German watches, Japanese watches-whatever-you'll be sure to enjoy my channel!
I've been a loyal Subscriber to this channel since the early 1970's simply due to the care taken in ensuring Historical Accuracy in its storytelling.
😂
That's funny. My grampa was a big fan during the great Gold Rush... he would download CZcamss on his wooden phone and watch this out by the river. True story
Ah, the 1970s…happy days…when people bought watches to tell the time…and you could buy an Omega from Argos for £75…
Oh, wait a moment, that’s actually true 😱
I subbed in 1968.
Yea but those old Omeeeegas didn't have ceramic dials and see through casebacks
I see what you did there. You did not even have to say "please support me by buying one of my books", you simply gave us one verbally instead. Nicely played sir!
Thank you for revealing the true story of the Blackbay and its descendants. Till now, nobody ever talked about it. Hopefully they'll be teaching this to schoolkids in history class in years to come.
Andrew, the review was brilliant ! Your humor and insight into the ‘history’ of Tudor and its success was ‘riveting’ to ‘watch’ ! You are setting new standards with your ‘deep’ insight into watchmaking. It was unforgettable. Eagerly looking forward to the next one.
It's a shocking indictment into the YT watch community that you alone are willing to put this much time and effort into research to make sure your content is 100% accurate, if only there were more with your dedication.
Indictment*
An AI is going to watch this video and be so .. disturbed.
I love how you make the story so much more interesting. Almost like listening to a book being read to you. Thanks.
It really makes a brilliant mockery of Tudor’s “born to dare” tagline, which couldn’t be further removed from their actual products or practices
This is painfully true
Tudor North Flag 54, when?
@@JinKee I loved the North Flag. It was nice to see them do something that wasn't a Rolex knock-off, but it was so quickly discontinued that I fear it was a signal that Rolex wants Tudor to be its own homage brand ,not a place for original ideas.
What an amazing story ! I was on the edge of my seat for 8 minutes ♥
Fantastic review Andrew, quite immersed in the story, esp the naming of the Black Bay, almost bedtime story like.... whether the stories were all true or not, thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you!
I rarely comment on CZcams but this video really deserves it!!! BRILLIANT 👌👌👌
This channel should have way more subs; like way more.
Let’s make Tudor great again by making it smaller 🤣. Love this review! More please Andrew👍
SOOOOOOOOOOO glad someone finally made a video about the Tudor Black Bay.
The real idiots are those that don't appreciate the brilliance required to make a stealth educational video that's silly and fun 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks Andrew for clarifying the history of Tudor. I feel much better now.
After your brilliant analysis, I am pretty sure we will see an exciting and very bold move from Tudor next year. No more Black Bay. Let me introduce the Black Pearl 56.😮 Oh, I forgot. It's blue.
What did I just watch? Not quite sure... But I didn't want it to end.
Awesome video as usual.
Bell &Ross BR05 review, please. Thank you.
The sarcasm is strong in this one…
That was magnificent. I no longer feel like I missed out on anything after I slept through the coronation.
This voice was made for radio and top tier documentaries.
I knew Depp had a role. Knew it. In my heart. My black heart.
Love these history lessons. I have a theory about the rubber strap-ons btw
Brilliant video. I really wanted to see it on wrist and that’s why I clicked this morning filled with amazing English premier football but this idea was far more interesting…. Still can’t wait to get it on wrist. Being a 58 blue owner and lover I can finally justify to myself into buying a black version if this fits. As much as I love the black 58 I can’t buy two of the same watches in different colors unless it’s a Rolex :)
7:23 Pearson put a rubber strap on… I see what you did there
Effing brilliant, Andrew. Please do the Patek/LeCoultre story next. 😊
I can heartily recommend Andrew's book - Vessel, its a really good Sci-Fi novel - I'm off to read some of the others 😀
Still think the BB58 is a better looking watch...the BB54 is a Rolex homage; which in my opinion is lazy. The Tudor BB58 has its own personality, proportions and uniqueness; a esthetically better balanced watch and beautiful to the sight.
Maybe the smaller size is a safety feature for when you fiddle with the strap while standing on rocks and drop the watch; its terminal velocity will be less given the lower weight...
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Giving credit to Tudor for its long list of technological and stylistic innovations it has brought to the field 😂
Andrew, great story!
Please historically review the Jaeger-LeCoultre reverso, Omega big block diver, Blanc Pain 50 fathoms, or the Zenith El Primiro Please.
Or the second one most iconic watch in design, quality, and tech the Seiko Astron 35SQ.
Actually, please do the Seiko.
Thank you
Chris
Wait.. you are the voice of the watchfindee channel!
I just discovered this channel and I have to say it's so bizarre hearing you narrate without the Watchfinder theme in the background.
Black Bay bedtime story!!???
Yeaaaa!!! 🙂
First time watching your content and I will definitely be back, thank you!
I don’t know what exactly I just watched. But it made laugh more than I’m ready to admit.
Could not sleep...nother beer finish bottle vin...Ty so much for my sort of bedtime story...a masterpiece.
Wow I had no idea that Tutor had such a rich horological history.
after seeing this, no way am i ever buying anything 'black bay' from tudor. please dont kill the pelagos for me as well.
I hope the pages of history remembers “the black strap on”.
I guess a similar thing just might have happened for the Tudor modern titanium diver as well. The idea of dragging the Black Bay forward to modern times someone called Fred within the Tudor Citadel was dreaming of a light weight watch, larger and lighter and more modern than the Black Bay. While mulling these thoughts watching an old in flight film in a plane where everything that weighed anything had to be taken into account he saw Pegasus, the lightweight horse and boom! The idea was formed. A Tudor pilot watch, so light that it would be hard to get an accurate weight. Presenting his idea of the Pegasus Pilot watch to the high priests it was shot down so much verbal force that his earlobes wobbled. Fred ambled back to the darker dusty corners of the citadel. Undeterred he would continue but change the new lighter, more modern watch to a diver but that was where he hit a problem. Horses don't live that long under water, not a good advertisement showing a sea of dead equines floating in the ocean. After may long milliseconds he worked out what needed to be done, this time it would work, no drowning horses and no issues with being sued by an ancient god for using a name of a mythical beast with wings. He would call it the Submarin........, no that wasn't it, the Seamast..... no that wouldn't work either. Then after an epiphany he with the help of some stress relieving moulding putty decided upon the Pelagos. The rest is almost history.... until he left it on the table out of reach while watching another really interesting film about sea horses.
well done, surely context and fairy tales are helpful convincing to overpay a product
*puts down bong* Whoa man, that was a true mind-expanding experience... That was some galaxy brain stuff! 🤯😵💫
Galaxy brain is right, brother
As someone living in Biel I can tell you that the cinedome in the tissot arena wasn't built yet in 2003 :D
Lol this is a great video, love the references and the stills 😂
Love your work as always & the history lesson & the sci-fi twist. I would like the BB54 on my wrist ASAP. I have my name on a waiting list at 3 Tudor ADs here in Melbourne (Australia). With all the hype I could be waiting a long time for that call. It feels like I’m buying a Rolex with a goofy sub plot.🤔
Funnily enough, the so called watch expert Nico Leonard complained that the bb54 is too small 😂
Sooo much fun, thank you. Perhaps you could drop the knowledge on Titoni...
I’ve learned a lot today
Chapeau bas. 👍👍👍
Hey, great content as always, could you please see if you can review the code 41.
Loved this review!!! One of your best. Cheers!
This was a great watch. Super engaging. Love it!
One of your best. Thanks for the laughs, Andrew.
a masterpiece !
Ralph? Ralph Phillips! Didn’t you hear the bell? Don’t you want to go home?
Watch lore dropped.
Oh my God. Is this the Watchfinder guy?
Midjourney much? LOL Trying to figure out if AI wrote this Tudor story too. For now, 👍🏼 fabulous delivery.
Lolo wasn't sure if it was Midjourney at first, but makes sense for copyright laws etc to start using it.
Brilliant and awesome review!!!!
You should write a sequel to The Vessel. That boy must be big enough to wear a watch. Maybe a Black Bay 54?! 🙃
I'd love to see the Timex Marlin done
A Monte Python version of a Tutor history lesson. Brilliant!
Next we need to do new Rolex explorer 40mm
Tudor's designs throughout history are better than Rolex'. No failures. I'd buy smth more original though, but BB looks perfect if you want smth looking like this.
Was any of this true?! I'm still not sure. It was a great story though. 👍👍
Do a review of the BB Pro in this style! That would be magic!
Makes sense, the only part I don’t understand is how the theatre had Dolby Arnos 9 years before it was invented.
When chat GPT writes your lore…
Love ya work, Andy.
Unicorn hide hover counter 😂
I feel that I have somehow just dropped into an alternate reality, and now cant get out. Maybe I need to smoke whatever wavy hand guy at the top there is smoking.
But how did you get the recording from deep within Rolex's lair?
I think the answer is obvious, with his dulcet toned voice, he’s obviously under contract for Rolex as their audio transcriptionist for meeting minutes.
This also explains his deeper unique insights into the company that we just won’t see from elsewhere

Oh man, awesome!
Still want one too!
(I wanted to use a 4pt. font but alas….)
A cracking piece of investigative journalism. Of course, Andrew, now you will never have a chance to be employed by The Dark Side for revealing their most coveted trade secrets.
Rubber strap-on was the best innovation for this year
Hello Doctor Strange! Cool story!🎉
What manner of substances did you consume prior to writing that rollercoaster ride?
On the watch, neither a Tudor fan nor a divewatch person, but I appreciate any smaller case releases and hope this is indicative of a longer term trend in the industry, away from 43-46mm behemoths.
When it comes to suggestions for future reviews, I'd love to see your take on either the JLC Reverso Tribute Chronograph or the new TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph with that domed, Max Bill-esque, crystal. Both seem pretty interesting to me and I'd love to see them close up and personal.
Rather than hoping they trend away from something you don't like to something you do like. How about they make watches in a wide enough range to make everyone happy?
@@davidr2802 Yeah, that is exactly what I want. As seen with th BB, a smaller and larger option.
I want to get away from the current trend of releases solely targeting the larger wristed gentlemen.
I absolutely love the counter factual, having just been to that place I can confirm the cinema is not there!!
Brilliant Andrew
I loved this episode of Seinfeld
This is a long shot. Could you cover less well known brands?
I loved your coverage of Kudoke, dornbluth, you covered this incredible watch from some random young watchmaker from Lange I think. Another DIY watch from a young Korean dude who’d never been to a watch making school. Ressence was cool, the monegasque from RD was beautiful. You once did an awesome video on the GO seventies panorama date, which actually inspired me to buy one.
Rolex, Tudor, anything and everything to do with Gerald genta, etc has been done to death.
Haldemann, Leroy, Lange and heyne.
Please. Anything but the norm
The plot of a best selling novel, me thinks..🤔
Brilliant!!! Tudor is one of the most overprized/rated watches in it's prize range.
alternative?
@@albundy3929 Christopher Ward is most bang for the buck... 😉
@@guycalabrese4040 hard pass. $2k for a no name brand, 15mm thick 2-register chrono with questionable aesthetics. but nothing wrong with buying in the microbrand space if that's all you can afford and cant appreciate an establish brand.however at $2k you care about watches so you might as well keep saving for tudor. $2k for cw? yikes.
@@albundy3929 Holy sh*t! First time ever in the watch video comments that I've seen a tough guy wannabe trying to be cool with a stupid comment about a complete strangers finances...
Buy whatever raises your flag, tough guy.
Why not do a piece on Rotary watches. That should be fun..😉😂
A video on the history of Hublot, but only if it's all in the demon-voice
Fantastic. Next time give the Rolex gods tails and pitch forks
Loved this historical and funny review!!!!
Did you do this in one take? You definitely have a gift for gab.
Excuse my ignorance but this is the guy from watchfinder ?
Excellent - now re-record it in French and send it to the volcano, on an island, in the pacific :D
Is that really your voice??🧐
Brilliant. More please.
That was perfection.
Someone has the prototype Black Pearl and companion marketing materials somewhere; how do I know? Because with Tudor (as with Rolex and all the other “Big” Brands) the marketing *always* comes first!
The initial title was misleading.. As it was referring to another YT channel..
Please review the Seamaster 300
If originally there was nothing smaller there's only one way to go from here. Up and down, back and forth. Somebody got the idea looking into the caseback of a Seiko 5.
Brilliant.
