    Well, I for one look forward to the bitter-sweet dichotomy of invasive root canal & surgical extraction tutorials with the odd precious metal macro shot for good measure.

    and screaming. Lots of screaming. :D

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    It's quite honestly a bloody genius name for a combined watch and dentistry channel!
    It is brilliant and I would certainly add that to my other 2 YouTube subs :P

    No but, had watched it embedded and hadn't realised Fitz had actually started a channel.
    Have subbed now tho :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,527 ✭✭✭Fitz II


    I actually have 6 subs now, worried I wont be able to walk down the street without being recognised.

    I am going to start doing some reviews and hitting you guys up for watches to review.

    You could start a new meet-up trend; "Timepieces & Teeth" like cars and coffee only with watches... and dentistry.

    And the amount of pain relief he gives you during your dental procedure is based on how good he rates your watch.I’d watch that on YouTube

    OMG OMG OMG, I got my own thread.

    I would like to thank my producer, my wife and all the little people who helped me get to this point. I would like to thank the academy for the honour.

    I did my first review vid, but I need to redo it cause editing it I realised I was totally on the wrong track with my opinion.

    I predict that it’s mostly shots of you trying on that Benyar Milgauss while muttering the word “sh!tter” a lot.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,698 ✭✭✭Lorddrakul


    I'm not getting any sound on that video, and I've tried it on two different devices.

    Anyone else have that problem?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,527 ✭✭✭Fitz II


    There is no sound on the video.

    Depriving the world of what I presume is a dulcet and authoritative tone, well tempered by years of talking to open orifices?
    That's not gonna help ya get monetised ;)

    On a serious note tho, lovely watch and GLWS.
    I look forward to your next video and drooling just a little ;)

    When you said you had a gimpy vpice I expected peewee herman or something, but nope. No gimpiness detected. :D Quick progress in production values too. Kudos.

    Man the winding sounds as rough as a badger's arse.

    I think I can speak for most of us here when I say, "we'll defer to your expertise in this matter" :cool:


    Don't like strapped watches, bracelets only. Anyone else like that? Nice videos Fitz!


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,462 ✭✭✭✭banie01


    Far easier to listen to than many reviews Fitz.
    Nothing gimpy at all about your voice and an enjoyable review.

    Agreed, very soothing and easy to listen to. I wish my voice was like Fitz's. FFS I sound more like Mickey Mouse!


  • Registered Users Posts: 64,745 ✭✭✭✭unkel


    Nicely done Fitz! You kept it really cool and to the point, no need to resort to swearing and vulgarities to get your point across. Love the little dig at "one more watch" channel too :D

    Sure no one likes the sound of their own voice when they hear it back.

    That was surprisingly good , look forward to the next one .Maybe stick on a pair of shades and add in a scenic walk around Dun laoghaire !

    Was that an intentional "hommage" in the title screen Fitz? :P

    I see the like/dislike ratio indicates that this is a "controversial" video - perhaps it will go viral? :D

    You do make a good point about (potentially) some of the factories using the same tooling to make fakes. It's why when I ask for tooling to be made that may be close to what big brands use I ask them to be made with moulding that means they couldn't repurpose the moulds for fakes - so no 16mm glidelock-esque clasps - factories get confused when I ask for 18mm glidelock-esque clasps "why would you want a 18mm one when everyone wants a 16mm one?" :pac:

    I spotted that too....Doh...still not going to rerender the entire thing. Misspelling things is very much a "Fitz" thing to do.

    I would say at least 3 of them are the usual suspects, still all counts as engagement, so I appreciate them watching and I hope they wear their pieces in good health.

    It'll be like Sólás - when will the watch review "business" overtake the dentistry business? :D
