How do you mean selling out 89? I wouldn't know much about the background to this tbh. I might have watched two of the just one more watch chap's videos. Outside of our two chaps hereabouts, Oisin is one of the few watch channels I'm actualy subbed to. I'm mostly cars, areospace, science docs type youtuber. Well I'm not into new watches so there's not a lot of Tube content on that side of things, much more on forums and websites.

I jest as Oisin is all high brow, fine wine, travel an luxury.

And here is is bottom feeding on YouTube views on these topics.

A wolf does not worry about the opinion of sheep is the approach I expected from him, ie to ignore it all entirely and not get involved. Instead he is pumping out videos after video on the two Sagas while claiming it’s not for views (which it is).

Hopefully he gets it back up and running.

It'll be interesting to see what caused it to be taken down

Agree with that opinion on Oisin. I like the dude but him implying he has to do a video lest people confuse Timeless with Timepiece is just cheapening the channel. Never mind the additional two follow ups.

My thoughts exactly, 893bet. This whole saga has the usual watch channels behave like a bunch of old gossiping fishwives

He has taken down all but one Timepiece related video, which I think he said he would be doing.

He mentioned he and his daughter had been filming in Vienna so hopefully we will get that soon.

And JOMW is back again.

Minus all the fake Rolex vids, Timeless rolex vids gone and a few watchfinder vids gone. Seem there is a zero tolerance of fake watch videos be they damning or educational.

Tried this on today

7200 euro RRP SS version. New bracelet is better for sure, but otherwise just another Moonwatch. Too vanilla, to dull doesnt appeal to my emotion at all or titillate my eyeballs...The AD even admitted that the RRP is out of control and as 893 says they are just too easy to get at retail to justify the inflated gray prices on old models. I would take a Darkside of any variety over it any day of the week, the darkside is special.

As for timeless on TPG he should have stayed out like mailforkev suggests. And JOMW,you play with fake watches you get burned.

Well I will pray to the patron saint of replica watches YouTube don't strike me....it's Saint Martin isn't is, I will light a candle.

Milguass repair update. In 12 or so weeks I get to pay €1630 for new glass, dial, service and polish.

Glass shards have scratched up the dial unfortunately.

unkel · 06-07-2021 5:05pm

Fook! I hope you got it on your home insurance which I strongly advised you to do when I gave you the valuation of the Milgauss for the insurance company? If so, you are covered for accidental damage. Really a must for anyone with a watch worth more than a 3 figure sum. The premium is usually very reasonable (roughly about 1% of the value of the watch) and the excess for accidental (all risk) cover specified items is low

hitemfrank · 06-07-2021 5:14pm

Yeah it's covered so not a big deal.

Just a pain in the hoop having to have to wait 3 and a half months to get it sorted.

unkel · 06-07-2021 5:18pm

Thankfully you own another few watches that will get a bit more wrist time while you are waiting. That Seiko looks class on you!

I am at the Insurance renewal time of year. Saw mention of Chubb and Hiscox here. Are they super high end or whom else is recommended? Know it is collection and individual piece dependant, however any knowledgable steers would be appreciated.

scwazrh · 06-07-2021 6:30pm

Also have house insurance renewal due next month and should really add my watches to it so any direction appreciated

I have an axa dual policy it's called through Marsh it's better than any other policy I've had up to now in terms of insurance for jewellery and watches but it's not quite as good as chubb or hiscox. Premium is lower though, I think ours is around 1300 annually (min premium is probably 1k)

I'm off to hospital in the morning and boards.ie is going offline in solidarity

https://touch.boards.ie/thread/2058198625/1/#post117606128

Boards will be read only for a day or so at the very least! :eek:
So I hope everyone has alternate watch and rant channels for their sanity!
I'll be heavily medicated and probably best kept away from the net from the foreseeable and the Mrs has said if I buy any stock, crypto or silver whilst I'm in hospital that they may end up with extra work to do :pac:

Anyway, enjoy the coming down time and see ye on the the other side

hitemfrank · 06-07-2021 8:06pm

She didn't ban watches so you're all good:D

Great time to fire a dig at someone and they will have to stew on it! Let’s be having ye!!!!!

Well the landmark birthday came and went and wife didn't want a watch in the end. Got her a diamond necklace and matching bracelet. The jeweller was in a complex (gold souk) so went to try on some preowned watches. My view on Rolex has been firmly cemented, just too flashy for me. Tried on a few, namely a steel datejust and a OP. Just not for me, I like the understated thing.

What are opinions on a Breitling premier day date 40? Leather strap.
