Mr. Morgan, best time for me to watch your channel is Sunday Morning, my wife and kids are still sleeping and the house is quiet... I make my favorite cup of coffee and head to the office play the latest video. I can't afford most of the watches showcased ( mortgage and kids its Casio, Seiko and Tissot-- saving for a Hamilton in the next few months) I appreciate your story telling skill- Sir, you are a wordsmith. Thanks for putting out such great content.
I have walked in your steps with wife and kids gone. It will happen someday, purchasing higher end should you desire. I can afford "the crown", but still wear Tissot. Part of humanity should be not being a snob on what we enjoy
Dear God, have you been following me around for the last 50 years? I recognize every idiosyncrasy, tick, phobia, and compulsive habit involving watches. Thanks, I don't feel so alone now, off to turn my bezel and wipe the prints from my crystal.
Another mistake is spending big. I've got three Rolexes, then bought the 38mm Origin from Jody last month at £300. I can't be bothered wearing the others now; a pity I've promised them to my sons as I could use the cash.
@@rileyA_36 riley, go run businesses from both sides of the counter from purchasing to sales and the production side on hundreds of varied items for 4 decades, and you'd realize how absolutely silly and green that you are. Enjoy your journey! As to what is the oldest profession, now you are really showing your age lol.
10/10…. I vacillated between killing myself laughing and feeling utter embarrassment from your truth bombs! You have a gift with that script of yours. 👏
This is an absolute banger video Andrew. I was seriously lmao the entire time. So relatable and real lololol. Honestly genius stuff here. We really as an entire community dont talk about a lot of this stuff even tho it is very much relatable and applied to most of us. And as always, you blessed us with plenty of hilarious, spot-on analogies. Good stuff ty.
Well done, sir! I can relate to many of these. In my case I'm a physician and always wear a watch to the office... I also ALWAYS pull up a glove all the way up over the watch. And, I feel I can say this here, have an eyeglass cloth in my pocket to wipe off the crystal between rooms... And at least 50 other times during the day... And well, you get the idea I'm sure. This just adds one more tiny ritual to my surgeon's OCD. Have a great Sunday!
When my 100m+ water resistant watches get noticeably dirty, I wear them in the shower to clean them. I wouldn't do it every day, but there have never been any consequences to doing this periodically. It works for me.
@@SingleTrackMined I know. I used to hand wash them but found that nothing gets them as clean as wearing them in the shower occasionally. I started with my cheap watches before trying with my nicer pieces. I've never had any negative consequences with any of them. I only have modern pieces so far and everything is on either a bracelet or rubber. That's just my experience.
My occasional quirky behavior is to change my watch during the day. Like today, I was wearing my Seiko SKX but changed to JLC Reverso in the afternoon.
To anyone who accuses AM of clickbaiting in his titles, I have this to say: all I would need to see is “new video from Andrew Morgan” and I’m fully baited. Keep ‘em comin’, goat.
@@skeelo69 Andrew's sense of humor far trumps Teddy's vanilla approach in my opinion. I like Teddy well enough, but I'd far rather have a pint with Andrew.
Andrew hopes that his smooth talking and melodious voice will obfuscate his repetitive videos. Remember, the more clicks the more money he makes. It’s not just Andrew, many other so-called content creators do the same thing. Quality comes second to quantity. At least he’s not like Fed, Jory, Teddy, Nico and all the others whose real intent is to induce people to shop at their online stores.
Best Clip in a while! I would add the sickness of those buying a watch on the bracelet. Then swap it for a strap: all in the name of “in case I ever sell it,” BUT, if/when you do, the bracelet looks brand new and just doesn’t match the watch. The point is: Enjoy it.
'That new car smell' hasn't been a thing for a very long time. It came about when there was real wood, leather and other organic materials used in the interior. Now it's just a ton of newly-minted plastics gassing off, and it's actually very toxic in there.
I also do the whole ‘left arm thing’ - with my F91W fam - no cap Oh, and I’m also very adept with the ‘reconnaissance fist’ - but I’ll pretend I didn’t tell you that Andrew - I don’t want you to be demonetised
Lots of relatable topics. My tick is occasionally checking if my screw down crown is screwed in all the way 😂 You know how i avoid wrist cheese? I wash my watch at the sink at night after i take it off for the day. Wipe it dry with a microfiber cloth, then lay it gently down on a soft cloth surface to air dry overnight.
The first sentence is 100% fact. 😂 5:40 I’m glad I’m not the only one that does that. HAHA! The last point hit home hard! 😂 The writing in these videos is only outdone by Andrew’s delivery of it.
This had me laughing throughout - great work! A used toothbrush has many additional cleaning utilities. Anyone that has been through a military boot camp can attest to that. ;-)
You hit so many of these quirks square on the head. The setting the time, the jacket check, the toothbrush hack, the casual glance [self-directed or at another fellow's], the sussing out your surroundings based on what's on our wrist-- guilty of all these. Here's a tip related to the jacket check: don't buy a jacket that uses magnets to close pockets or, heaven forbid, the cuffs. It will wreak havoc with mechanical and quartz movements.
Picked up a MAMACOO's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!
Regarding the crystal wipe tic, I have the same thing with my cellphone screen. Always carry a microfiber cloth somewhere on me, buffing that screen to perfection at least 20 times per day. I did the same thing with my fancy new Ray-Bans, until I dropped them while randomly taking them off to buff them. Of course I do a quick watch rub when I have the cloth out anyways, like I'm expecting a blue genie to pop out of my arm.
2:40 - I totally do all of those things to protect my watch from walls and other things that could scratch it. I laughed hard when you mentioned the advanced pulling down of the sleeve of my sweater, I’ve done that since I got my first watch as a kid, it is almost a reflex action built into my DNA. I have watch helix DNA 😂
I actually use my watch to read the time, a lot, I'm a psicologo. I think that's the reason why I do not like chronographs or any dail with too many complications and subdials because a lot of time, those designs make it difficult to read the time for me. Grat video regard from Chile.
Big Watch never talk about their products survivability when dropped face-down on some rocks because their owner has decided that was just the absolutely perfect place to fiddle with the strap... In rolexes case they never talk about how they are not a charity and do not do anything charitable (they have never given me a free watch for instance).
I’m going to market special watch cleaning systems, priced appropriately to specific models. This will be even more profitable than audio “high end” interconnect and speaker cables.
got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on amzwatch 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.
This is SO relatable… I found, strangely, some comfort at knowing I am not THAT weird, not the only one that does ALL of these things. Thank you for sharing! Best regards from Mexico. 🤙🏼
Can’t beat gold polished Roman numerals that sparkle like jewels in the sunlight. Loving the sun ray dial man that pops! MAMACOO watches. What a beautiful subtle piece.
Andrew - yep, you are right about ....us....I could relate to every one of your examples, well, except for the Rolex box one - I rather prefer the smell from my wood - laquered Omega boxes instead. And the "horological combover" quip had me laughing and totally relating. Thanks again for a laugh and a psychological check up!
Authenticators actually subject Rolex boxes to the smell test as part of the validation process,begging the question -- Should I store my Rolex watch box in a hermetically sealed container to ehlp preserve its provenance?
Your latest video on the Chopard watch really resonated with me 🤩👍 it’s even available in Stuttgart, wouldn’t be there this nagging view on my credit card account 😂🙈 what a wonderful watch.
There is absolutely nothing in this video that I have not done and done frequently (daily). I’m not sure if I’m relieved to have company or alarmed at being found out.
With respect o the first one, I definitely do that occasionally. Just recently I was at a water park with some friends and they asked me to let them know when it was 4:30 so we could start to head out. So I did, and when my friend got her phone from the locker she said "bruh it's 5:30". I did an oopsie and set my watch an hour behind.
I take my watch off, to shower but I wash daily it too. I don't want my daily watch to end up disgusting. And I can't relate most of these, but I do spin the bezel on my dive watches for no reason too, I do tend to notice new scratches, and curiously look at what watches people are wearing. When it comes to smart watches my tick is to go to the heart rate graph over the day and look at it for no reason at all. It's a graph, it needs to be looked at.
My newest watch buy is the most I’ve spent on a watch. I’ve taken to placing it on a nice soft beer mat on my bedside table to avoid the hard scratchy oak damaging its brushed steel side. I’m not sure how long this will go on for. On the photo-on-a-rock point, I watched a video that stated ‘the polished case back will inevitably be scratched by the bracelet’, wait, what?! Never shall those two things meet.
Wow. I'll bet you're fun at parties. Tim should ban you but he has too much class for that. Hint #1: the Nico channel is over that way---》》》 Hint #2: get lost clown
As someone who travels between the same 2 time zones for Uni multiple times a year....thank you. I too am time setting challenged. But I found a GENIUS work around. Every Casio (including Gshocks) with a world time function has a quick swap time zone feature! Side note, make sure that Casio isnt connected to your phone using bluetooth if youre close to a timezone border. Trying to explain to the real estate agent that your phone thought you were in the US and changed your watch doesnt go over so well when they are expecting the final sign off on a purchase. Ask me how I know.
I'd like to see a video about what Andrew believes are the most striking watches on a first date to create conversation. I seem to have many, many first dates.
I don't know maybe I just wasn't keeping attention so I missed it BUT. You mean to say that you don't listen to your watch with both ears before you put it in its nighttime special place. I don't understand, I feel somehow betrayed. None of the other stuff applies. The absolute joy of wearing a Citizen with a 8210 Miyota movement. You have to wait 15 seconds for that rotor swirl to stop before you can actually hear the escapement. All the bother with scratches and depreciation i a mute point. Purchasing a watch like this is like setting fire to 200 euros and finding a watch in the ashes. you know you can never sell it because it's a magical thing that other people can't see.
Now, here’s my watch buying logic… I don’t smoke, and I only drink when it’s sunny, and so being in Scotland I am, in effect, teetotal. My man maths logic tells me I therefore have a watch buying budget equivalent to 20 cigarettes and 4 pints of beer a day, which I can neatly round up yearly to the price of a grey market Root beer, or indeed something I would actually like to buy…
This is literally award worthy. I'm not sure if it's your best work Tim but I'm sure you've done none better. You can't best perfection. Several of these were Utterly and Completely me.
When I first purchased my GMT Master II I would lay it to bed at night on a pedestal of leather and mahagony like a premature new born in an incubator.
Excellent! I noticed at the beginning you mentioned a ‘Charlotte’ - something you hadn’t mentioned before, and something not mentioned again after 10 minutes. Is the Charlotte something you caught and released, or perhaps flipped for a small profit? Did the Charlotte have complications as I wouldn’t mind getting one? Though I’d probably buy the simple 3-hander.
Another great video. However, the title doesn't match the content. I'd name it "Watch Enthusiasts Quirks. " Really doesn't matter, I'll continue to view your videos, whatever is titled.

The wrist custard I see on some watches is just nasty. All my tickers remain clean and daisy fresh.

Andres, you're imagination, creativity and ideas are boundless!
Excellent! I noticed at the beginning you mentioned a ‘Charlotte’ - something you hadn’t mentioned before, and something not mentioned again after 10 minutes. Is the Charlotte something you caught and released, or perhaps flipped for a small profit? Did the Charlotte have complications as I wouldn’t mind getting one? Though I’d probably buy the simple 3-hander.
Another great video. However, the title doesn't match the content.
I'd name it "Watch Enthusiasts Quirks. "
Really doesn't matter, I'll continue to view your videos, whatever is titled.
I love the Tool reference. I figured I was the only Tool fan who likes watches.
