I watched the video and quite frankly I'm disappointed at the number of faults shown.
My Tudor BB41 has no rough paint edges or smudges anywhere " or am I just lucky "?

Great videos - Not just reviewing the usual AP, PP and Rolex.
I just watched a video he made on Tissot PRX - equally good in terms of quality

He does make those watches look beautiful. Then mine look at me, and revolt.

Dislike his channel profoundly as the way he talks in exaggeration and metaphors irritates the hell out of me. Not bashing his skills and videos, but expressing my own opinion on the subject. Much prefer straight to the point vids.

beautiful imagery and very relevant reviews - but I find his random omission of standard english language articles (the/an/a) to be very distracting and grating. Petty I know!

I've watched Hafiz for a couple of years now. His videos are amazing.

His video quality and production is top notch! Watched his videos extensively while I was hunting for my watch.

I like the fact that he's finally found a belt for his trousers.

In all seriousness, his filming is pretty good.

Great photography but I lost a lot of respect for the guy when he didn't realize you could jump the hour hand and read the time in two timezones at once on a Seiko GMT review. I mean how do you review a GMT watch and not know that???

Yeah I think maybe he has got a bit confused around reading a 3rd time zone? He isn’t a horologist, he is however exceptional at showing you the details of a watch and the look and feel of it.

Speaking of which, mods could you edit the title to be “Watch-pr0n on youtube” (I.e add the hyphen between the two first words) to avoid confusion

He actually said in the video that the 24 hr hand is there just to show you am/pm. Love that he shows the watches and measurements and all but maybe read up a little on the watches and functions before shooting the video.

Did you see his Rolex 40mm GMT vs 42mm Explorer II - beyond just the sizes youtube video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6_i98SX9kE

He makes a great point near the end of the video that the Jubilee strengthens the GMT (Batgirl and Jubilee) attributes even better.

Been a favorite of mine for some time. His camera work is first rate and his reviews and critiques are well thought out and expressed; all in all, very entertaining.

He has great macro shots, and isn't shy about showing all the flaws. His OP41 review was pretty brutal.
