Thanks for sharing OP.

I clicked on the link expecting a 4min video and boooooooy...

That’s a long video.

It’s very interesting though, at least to me.

I’ll continue watching it tomorrow morning.

Thanks for sharing !

This was a refreshing video to watch.

Of course, it's about one of my favorite subjects, but also it was refreshing to listen to someone who is articulate and speaks without hemming and hawing and going off on rambling tangents.

The other thing is that he speaks in a normal tone of voice at a normal pace, just as if the viewer was in his presence.

His gestures were subdued, except when he was making a specific point about his exaggerated actions. He was not flailing his arms about in the way that so many YouTubers do in so many videos that are meant to inform.

Thanks for posting.

I take my hat off to you all.

I killed myself after the first 30 seconds.

Good honest video. Didn’t expect all that. Make me feel bad as a flipper. Another motivation for one-watch-guy.

Thanks for the links, OP.
I love this kind of video.
Some one who has owned the same watch for over 30 years.
Especially like how he just lets its drop from the hand into his lap.

Love this kind of video! Had I had the stones to buy one at 21 years, I’m sure I would feel the same. I love how he captures the fact that certain things are intrinsically compelling because they are ludicrously high quality and therefore trust worthy. Not a fanboy, just drawn to quality.

I feel my love affair with BMW has similar roots.

Great video. Makes you wonder whether you need a collection or not. To have so much passion and experiences with just one Watch is a fantastic achievement

Very cool! thanks for sharing, the problem with collecting is having/finding that one special that is with your all the time....I like to wear them all but I also want to have that ONE special one.
