Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

and screaming. Lots of screaming.
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.

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 0 -

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

I think I can speak for most of us here when I say, "we'll defer to your expertise in this matter" :cool:When you said you had a gimpy vpice I expected peewee herman or something, but nope. No gimpiness detected. Quick progress in production values too. Kudos.

Don't like strapped watches, bracelets only. Anyone else like that? Nice videos Fitz!0 -

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 My ads on adverts.ie

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?
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:0 -

I spotted that too....Doh...still not going to rerender the entire thing. Misspelling things is very much a "Fitz" thing to do.I see the like/dislike ratio indicates that this is a "controversial" video - perhaps it will go viral?
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.0 -

takes some guts to put yourself out there doing reviews, best of luck with it
I am an attention seeking whore.
Going down the talking hands route to retain some anonymity, but going to try go quick reviews with a bit of personality and straight talking and to the point. No long intro, no affiliate links, no strap sales, no long preamble. Show the watch, say whats good, say whats bad. Say if I recommend it and to most importantly to whom.
Look it just a bit of fun for me, mostly its something watch related that doesnt have me buying new watches, so it will save me a fortune, and hopefully allow me to get hands on with a lot of watches. I have had a wonderful response from boards members and have arranged to get footage of a good few watches of forum members that I can then edit down over time. I will be hitting all you guys up...and Wibbs I might even hit you up for a schooling on vintage watches.0 -

First!! Always wanted to say that on a 'tube vid. 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.

Good review there F. Balanced too. Hits all the points without going flowery or dismissive and what you rarely hear, you give negatives and positives, all of which I'd agree 100% with. Hang on, WTF have you done with Fitz?
Though BP would want a quiet word with Rolex about "setting the standard for diver's watches" *eye twitches* And though they started producing them in 53, they didn't go on sale until 54. /nerd Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things.

When is the Vostok appearing on the page?
Oh and once you become a massive "influencer" you can ask for freebies from watch companies (or hotels or restaurants or anything really) - you should see the amount of requests I get for free stuff (in return for *advertising*) - promising the moon and the stars if they just get a free watch...0 -
