Video review of the Longines BigEye Chrono (both versions 2017 & 2021)
I Got mine Yesterday and it is a BEAUTY....
Hello! Congratulations! Beautiful watch! But does it have a phantom date?
How hard to get ?
All dat MAMACOO watches sssssoooooooo gorgeous!
oh i must have since grendizer was my child favorite cartoon and it will bring me back to my best days
Same here...
I'm genuinely impressed with how close MAMACOO were able to replicate every aspect of this very very goofy looking classic watch.
Funnily enough, MAMACOO's replicas are perfect for people who can actually afford a luxury watch. Because in those social circles, it wouldn't matter and everybody would just assume it's real. You have a yacht and a beach house in Tuscany, of course that replica is real. There isn't a millionaire out there going around with a jeweller's loupe to scrutinize their acquaintance's watch. They'll just go "Oh is that a Patek? Nice, I should really get my hands on one of those, they look great."
God!!! amzwatch Who would have thought those gorgeous watches go for that low!!!
No anti reflection?
Love your Review... As a Fan of the Grendizer ( Goldorak ) It's indeed a Must have... The case makes it even more Special and Unique... Too bad it's not limited in numbers but still something I NEED to have lol
Cool box, nice touch 👌
❤
CHF 800’000 ~ de plus avec les diamants aussi sublimes soient-ils cela me laisse perplexe. Avec ou sans …?!? Le carillon est divin, le mécanisme merveilleux, ce sont de belles pièces, j’investirais bien 12 ou 13 millions.
please do a 35mm version !!!
Owning an A. Lange & Sohne is a privilege
What fun. Tough questions. Congrats Carson!
Masterpiece ever. Greatness 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great episode. Can anyone stop Johnathan!!?
Unstoppable.
What’s your wrist size?
I bought this watch a year ago and its spent more time ay the shop fixing its besel than on my wrist. It is a piece of garbage.
I love the quick release bracelet and straps. I have that on my Formex Essence, and every watch should have it. In addition, I love when watch companies are not nickel and diming their customers (Charging obscene prices for bracelet links and straps).
That bracelet with the 10-13 links across looks great. I have never seen anything like that.
I think the 38mm and 40mm look the best. On my 19-20cm wrist the larger sizes look bad, like a woman wearing her boyfriend's watch. I would love to have the diamonds on the bezel only, not the bracelet.
Rolex Sub 300 m WR 12.4 mm thin Tudor bb58 200 m WR 11.9 mm thin Tudor bb41 200 m WR 13.6 mm thick Why, oh, why Tudor? Thanks for the vid, man.
Their Zeitwerk is masterpiece Wish they make it in black dial with platinum or steel
Do you think is possible to swap the case of the mark II to another more traditional? God I find that case ugly
great video ❤ With thanks from the Awesome wristwatch channel youtube.com/@lesterchua73?si=BAdUTF7xaXetXzfA
A. Lange is a really art of watchmaking, thank you for sharing watchprofessor
Think I just discovered my new grail watch this is an incredible piece of high horology absolutely beautiful the only thing I wish they would do is to design a concept bracelet nobody does bracelets like AP incredible watch!
It is always hard to start from zero. You have my full support and good luck!
Wow! Looks so fun!! I hope I can join the challenge next round! 🎉🎉🎉
Semi auto Wach...
That’s a cool format 🎉 Can’t wait to see the other episodes 🎉
Thank you! I m glad you like it
Is this a one off experiment piece?
Very nice watches.
like it
what do yo think about the no date complication, you think is a real downside? you think willl i regret?
For me, no date give a more pure and beautiful dial design. Some watches with date ; the date window can be in the wrong position, date disc in various colors. I actually prefer no date.
@@watchprofessor thanks for the info very helpful.
The greatest competition of GS Tentagraph is seiko astron. 😢
Velocette Thruxton or Clubman. Watch is stunning as well. ❤
It’s a Thruxton! Excellent observation! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
The Breitling Chronomat 42mm Ice Stone dial and the platinum bezel is the best looking and functional chronograph in todays market
Love that brand
Could hardly see any watches…
2 years later and still no 37mm version. And no 37mm steel version without the date window. Looks like it'll never happen :((((
And no 42mm version in steel without date window
There is a 37mm version.
The brand is a wonder itself. One of the most sophisticated and classy watch makers if not the top of them
A. Lange & Söhne makes some of the most elegant, and impressive timepieces without ever looking garnish or ostentatious. Love that.
You are my hero Amazing video Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤❤
excellent camera work and editing. This is the first video where I can really see the detail in the gilt finish. I'm always amazed how the manufacturers never get out a solid HD video of their product even on their websites the pictures look more like CGI than the actual watch. All that being said, I am a fan of ceramic bezels for daily worn sports watches, actually I consider this a must. However I am no longer keen on this watch for the simple fact that I don't want to have a discussion about Rolex, each and every time I wear this Tudor. I don't care for modern Rolex so that's like a double whammy. I briefly owned the Tiger Woods Tudor over 20 years ago. And even then somebody had to always mentoion that it wasn't a Rolex. Twenty years of marketing didn't address this. I had a Rolex Submariner before the Tudor so the "well when you move up to a Rolex you'll be happy" type comments really made me laugh because my Rolex experience was not a good one. Quality control is significantly better since of course but Rolex are no longer priced the way they were in the early 2000s. My second problem with this watch is that with Grand Seiko prices so reasonable, particularly in the grey market, I just don't see the value in passing up a true in-house movement for an outsourced Kenissi movement. I know that doesn't matter to most people but it is what has always bugged me about owning Rolex. My uncle was a watchmaker and a mechanical engineer so actually making your stuff has meaning for me, ESPECIALLY if you are going to charge a substantial premium over off-the-shelf movement. A properly regulated high grade Swiss ETA movement is hard to beat. But people say "oh but you don't get the prestiege of Tudor". This really makes my head spin. Neither Rolex nor Tudor have a very long track record of making their movements, dials, bracelets or winding crowns. I consider them an excellent watch case maker that did a bit of marketing razzle dazzle to think they put in the work of Seiko, Omega or Zenith. Lastly I don't understand why the Blackbay gets all the attention. The Chronograph is hands down their best design in the whole line up and a far better value because at least you get a complication. $3,000 USD for a basic 3 hand movement is de riguer now which is insane when you calculate the massive improvements in automation and technolgoy driving costs down while retail msrp is moving north. in the 1990s when I bought my first coax Speedmaster it was maybe 3 or 4 weeks pay for a new professional out of college. Now a 3 hand movement requires a bank loan. This is not the way forward in a Apple/Samsung smart watch landscape. The freecashflow for 70% margins will be fleeting whence the current Gen Z ers start becoming the old guys.
It was nice to see both watches side by side. They are both handsome watches with no gimmicks' and I can wear both for dress and everyday wear. Thank for your video as I will pull the trigger on the 38mm as it would sit nicely on my wrist.
Oh wow that’s the guy in the background!
Is it heavy on the wrist?
I have to say that NKUWAN 's watches is amazing!
