Interesting colour combination - not a personal favourite, but definitely striking.



Looks like it's WBP1181?

Yup. This is superb in my eyes. 👍🏽

Glad the editing settled down too, as that first minute had so many zooms and cuts.

They’ve dropped the blue seconds hand then. No way that was gonna work on this combo.

I’m tempted with this. Not quite sure where it would sit with my BB Ceramic.

Just very different pieces in my view.

I can certainly see why it’s tempting too.

watch retailers who publish “watch reviews” about the watches they are selling. You clearly cannot offer an objective opinion about the merits or worthiness of a watch when at the same time you are hoping someone will hand over top dollar for it. It is a clear conflict of interest for anyone selling a timepiece to be publishing a review about it.

There is literally no point in me watching him 'review' his own watch. Is there?

I’m not taking it as a review. I’m seeing as something that they designed as a celebration of an accomplishment and anniversary. He can be seen wearing the Solargraph titanium and touting it as a favorite in the past about effing time videos. I think it’s pretty cool that he was able to team up with Tag and release this version. I dig it. If I wasn’t already an owner I would be contemplating buying it.

Bang on with not expecting to get an impartial review, as this is the hype video for making sure that all 250 get de facto sold out.

It’s a good video to get see the watch at this stage though. Nicely done I think.

I like the way they’ve double badged this one and not gone with T&T Heuer.

About as much point as watching any other watch review. Just treat it as an infomercial and look at the watch.

He literally said 'I am switching into review mode'.... notice I didn't say anything about the watch, I think it's pretty decent, he just doesn't understand the concept of review vs advert - but then he wouldn't because he's part of the watch media / sales force. It's simply a conflict of interest. I guess this must be where Patek have gone wrong, they should have bought Hodinkee... 😉

To be fair to Andrew, I remember him lauding praise on the latest Aquaracer when most YouTube watch gurus were slating it for it's weird round 6 o'clock cyclops... but then maybe that was just him doing his regular thing and the world shifting to his 'perspective' once they got used to it?

I love how he posted a video on YouTube to share 'early access', that's hilarious... I guess this one might actually be 'de facto' sold out?

It’s definitely not a review, that’s for sure!

He has praised a number of Aquaracer’s in the past, which I guess does follow your point about not being negative.

I haven’t specifically asked the question, but I have it on good authority that this is, or will be in the future, de facto sold out.

It's definitely not sold out.
Tag Heuer Boutique get the first 50 pieces.
T&T get 51-250.
Not sure it will sell out. The watch market isn't exactly pumping right now. Im sure they will sell some at the Launch event in Lknfon and Melbourne tomorrow but i doubt all 250.

I definitely know 1 is sold though.
