Id rather the blue , Ive had the 39mm op in rhodium and currently have the 41mm datejust in wimbledon dial which is Rhodium.It blends in with the white gold bezel and doesnt pop in colour the way you would want it to .Id say its even more boring with a platinum bezel.But the Rhodium was his first Rolex and we all tend to remember our first in a positive way .

Agree with you on the live streams , cringefest is the best way to descibe them and thats not just his stuff , its all the watch you tubers "superchats".Id love to know how much they earn from them cause they all seem to love the pay per question format .

Fitz II · 09-02-2022 4:45pm

Nothing is forgotten on the internet, so expecting consistency is maybe asking a bit much. But sure if you cannot change your mind you are not using it.. .....sure when he has the rhodium he says its the best....I dont think any of his own watches he reviews are anything but the pick of the group....but thats us all isn't it. Confirmation bias. Sure there would be nothing for sale second hand if everyone kept all the watches they bought.

I am with you on scrubbing through the vids unkle...I could not give a **** what sycophant shipped you some smelly cigar, what bottle of "put on best italian accent" Burrroooolllllooo you are drinking or what Seiko you have stuck in with a Richard Mille to show you is still down with de peoples...get to the main attraction and stop spoofing.

I like the YM in all its variants, but somehow the bezel is wrong to my eye. I like the blue the most.

Thats gas…I thought i was on my own, even dissed the guy on oisins comments..was a loner😀..he and oisin are well met i fear…

scwazrh · 24-02-2022 12:54am

His latest video is a bit of a laugh to be fair

scwazrh · 04-03-2022 8:37pm

€6k for a 1861 moonwatch ??

Not just any 1861....thats Oisins 1861. It was once in the presence of a man that was once in the presence of Van Halen.

So an immediate four grand discount then?

scwazrh · 04-03-2022 10:14pm

There appears to be an Oisin tax on any watches he sells.If that should be an added tax or deduction I suppose is up to the buyer .That said an unworn 1861 should be €5k+ so he’ll probably get it

j2 · 19-03-2022 9:20am

He has released some kind of ww2 documentary in connection with zero west watches! Ponderous dreck, had to unsub. Also the comment section loves him, I'm convinced over half of them would suck him in a second.

Fitz II · 19-03-2022 9:33am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118804636#Comment_118804636

I haven't watched it yet....but here are my predictions. Cannot believe he is doing another feckin Zero West....who buys that crap.

Breathless sombre nauseatingly serious & intense narration, with massive pauses between sentences.
Intro thats too long with loud triumphant classical music.
Tenuous link to some crappy money grab watch that has nothing really to do with WW2.
Irishman pretending that WW2 Brittan was the peek of humanity.
Multiple inaccuracies that nobody in the comments section notices.
Comments section call its a tour the force and thinks it should get an Oscar.
Focus pulls, and macros done with a tube lengthener so there is no field of view...this is arty dont you know.
Pitch of his voice is lowered in post.
Fawning sycophants in the comments are spooging all over the place.
Entire documentary is a copy of Clarksons excellent WW2 documentaries where it tells a story of some individual bravery with the format of "setup" "heros call to action" "hero overcomes adversity" "hero makes sacrifice" "watch has a fragment of the heroes testicle in the case and this somehow makes the watch historic".
4 minute long outro.

Give me a few minutes and I will see how I did.

You see your supposed to just fan girl over him, not question him.Do you not know that he was a rockstar???

Id say you’ve hit the nail on the head with every one of your points.I remember on one of his older videos he said that when he’s thinking of interesting shots or narrative he does whatever the BBC would do.I suppose there’s no harm in that really as bbc were top of the game for documentaries.

I wasn’t a fan of his first few videos but have watched most of his unboxing and city visit videos which I enjoyed.It’s hard to deny that when he makes a video of an interesting watch , in an interesting place without being a di*khead , the result is good.There is some talent there for matching the right piece of music with the right camera shot but it is becoming repetitive at this stage.

Theres no excuse for these glorified adverts though , I see Paul Thorpe plugs them as well so must be a few pound in it.

I didn't bother my arse watching it for those reasons. An hour long too IIRC. Though as Scwazrh notes he's getting a few quid from it and their tat sells out.

Zero West watches. The Franklin Mint of Timepieces marketed to morons. VIZ comic got it so right all those years ago. It's this with a strap. 😂

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118804743#Comment_118804743

WHAT? He was in a rockband....he never mentions it...🤣

Agree he has some talent but its fairly limited, good for YouTube mind you. 50% Talent and 50% spoofing. When he does watches in Italy they are good vids. I like the Lenny stuff too. But the veneer of charm has slipped too many times for me now (French girl, ex girlfriend, no vaccine, livestream bolloxology etc). I am not impressed with his life story or lifestyle (and thats not sour grapes, I think its actually kind of lonely) so I watch for reasons other than hero worship.

He crawled up his own hole there about a year ago and now seriously thinks of himself as a great artist, documentary maker, producer and lifestyle guru. And unlike anyone that is genuinely gifted, he has to blow his own trumpet all the time. (Anthony from the timepiece gentlemen will do it for 80 USD I hear). His sub count is stalled bigtime, so I think he has captured all the followers there are for him out there. That the comments section is so saccharine only highlights further to me the sadness, lack of life experiance and gullibility of that proportion of the watch community.

Mostly I am disappointed. At first I though "hey this guy is a straight shooter, he is Irish and a bit mysterious" but familiarity has bread contempt for me. And just like Anthony from TPG it would seem he will do anything for money.

Wibbs "The Franklin Mint of Timepieces" - I like that and am stealing that phrase, thats exactly it 100%. The creating of collectables missing the point of why things are collectable in the first place.

redlead · 28-03-2022 3:05pm

His latest waffle about the speedie has just made me unsubscribe. Incredible that someone could go from having my favourite YouTube channel to making me cringe everytime he opens his mouth in the space of a year.

He is trying to wear snobbery as a badge of honour because he thinks if you are a snob you just know more than everyone else. The irony of this, is that his own juvenile attempts to relentlessly tell everyone about his own perceived sense of knowledge and culture is infact snobbery. He knows who Gustav Holst is don't you know. Who but the great man himself could possibly think of playing the planets to promote planet themed watches. Even a great travel video which he doesn't bother doing anymore can't make me put up with this level of w@nkology anymore.

Wibbs · 28-03-2022 3:56pm

Yep pretty humorous for a lad to wax about "chasing the divine"(I tapped out at that point) while happy to pimp a brand like Zero West, the Franklin Mint of watches, in hour long mashups of focus pulls, "history" through the medium of crayon while intoning so breathlessly I fear he has consumption. And like all "snobs" who as a defence unironically call themselves out before anyone else does, my listening of his various forays into areas he thinks he holds some knowledge on strongly suggests he doesn't.

Fitz II · 28-03-2022 5:15pm

Last two comments have me spewing coffee at my screen laughing.

He also claims that his "projection voice" is less deep and thats why he sounds different on these vlog vids than in his studio ones.....nothing to do with the OBS vocal filter to make his voice deeper.

Total tosh in the latest vids. He has some valid points but they are always surrounded and drowned with self aggrandising cock wombling.

You would wonder where he believes his zero west sits in the nothing but luxury camp he loves so much . And now you mention it I’ve noticed in a few of his vids lately how heavy his breathing is while trying to talk and walk at the same time

Wibbs · 28-03-2022 6:52pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118848120#Comment_118848120

You would wonder where he believes his zero west sits in the nothing but luxury camp he loves so much .

His belief is influenced by the few quid he gets and the feelings in his ego to be entrusted with such historic pieces. Lord knows we've seen how delicate his ego is. QV the hullaballoo with the French dollybird.

And now you mention it I’ve noticed in a few of his vids lately how heavy his breathing is while trying to talk and walk at the same time

More O2 needed for the brain to run both tasks at once. I also hear he "nearly died" from covid, so that's probably it...

j2 · 29-03-2022 3:26pm

He also seems to be attempting to redefine snob in his favour. He'd never laugh at someone for the watch they wear, because apparently that's not what a snob would do, while that's actually the behaviour of an asshole. That's a pretty tight Venn diagram if you ask me. Also I'm actually surprised he has chosen to have a go at rehabilitating the word snob, a much more on brand semantic trick would have been to define himself as a connoisseur, then he could have looked down on the snobs as much as he does everybody else.

blue5000 · 21-04-2022 9:56am

The only good(?) thing I have got out of this whole Oisin saga is that I follow the French one on instagram. Everything else is just waffle.

Perhaps in a 100 years they'll look back and think, wow this lad is the best thing to come out of Ireland since James Joyce, but I doubt it. Did he sell the YMs after, I can't be bothered to go find out for myself?

NSFW towards the end due to norks. This is off the chain crazy for something that started out as a guy talking about watches he likes!

breadmond · 25-05-2022 5:10pm

It's pretty nasty stuff alright. Comes across as very unhinged in the video, getting really personal in response to pretty calm and reasonable questions.

Remember how unhinged he was about the “French” lass.

the signs were there, this lad ain’t normal.

scwazrh · 31-05-2022 7:24pm

Posted by the French girl Chloe he had on his video . She certainly bided her time to have her response

Ouch thats a deep burn, and a wonderfully put together bit of prose. PS where is that post from?

scwazrh · 31-05-2022 7:59pm

She more eloquently summed him up than I’ve been able to. Fair play to her.

I know at the time he alluded that she was his girlfriend or previous conquest and than backtracked afterwards when she “got nasty “ as he says. I don’t remember clearly seeing what exactly the relationship was between them be it new friend or long term friend or just paid for the video.

He turned her down he said and she got upset 😹.

That is a glorious post.

unkel · 31-05-2022 8:03pm

Not written by her, that's for sure. Or at the very least with a lot of help from someone else. Ouch is right though 😂

scwazrh · 31-05-2022 8:04pm

On her instagram stories user name 099722

sounds very stalky this post…

Fitz II · 31-05-2022 8:09pm

He doxed her really badly at the time....now he is calling the cops on Nico for accidentally doing the same.

scwazrh · 31-05-2022 9:20pm

He’s on Instagram admitting his mistake and saying he should of sent the money back straight away.He’s gone full circle of denying any wrong doing to claiming to be the victim to now acknowledging his mistake . Its real paint by numbers example of narcissism

Fitz II · 31-05-2022 9:54pm

I am getting bored of it now....can we skip forward a few week to where he totally implodes due to "personal" issues.

scwazrh · 31-05-2022 10:13pm

Caused by the trolls and bullies he’s had to endure no doubt he’ll claim

Wibbs · 31-05-2022 10:54pm

j2 · 01-06-2022 3:32pm

While possibly, or even probably deserved, you don't cover yourself in glory posting such scathing comments about somebody. She comes off as a nasty piece of work herself.

Cienciano · 02-06-2022 11:17am

He's a horrible person. Even without not sending the watches back.

He’s waffling on about legal proceedings against nico for the last while so he’d wanna be certain it’s nico publishing the website or he’ll be leaving himself open to legal letters himself.If it is nico doing the website you would think he’d have better things to do .

Wait, now I just want to be sure I am getting this right.

The statement purportedly from Oisín re: his mea culpa, is a fake? That Oisín is claiming that Nico has set up the site and is passing the site off as Oisín?

If that's so? This really is descending to levels that make wrestling or that bloggers unveiled yoke a few years ago look perfectly sane and normal 😉

I will say, when I saw the "apology" over on the chat thread? I took it at face value and was gonna post here asking which of us had gotten the Oisín full house on all his excuses 👀

scwazrh · 16-06-2022 10:53am

After that post he tagged an instagram account called nicovanderhostdaily or similar as the “person” who has made the website .That account is listed as a fan account so obviously not the pride and pinion nico.Probably nothing at all to do with Nico, just Oisin trying to continue his role of drama queen and playing the victim.Wouldnt be surprised if hes behind it himself.

unkel · 16-06-2022 11:22am

Yes of course it's a fake. That website was only registered a couple of days ago.

j2 · 22-06-2022 4:19pm

This gentleman has elected to buy another AP. Subjectively I would say a lesser watch than the one he already has (had?). I think he is now getting a bit out of touch, aside from the drama recently. I'm doing pretty OK and I've been into watches for maybe a decade, but I wouldn't drop circa 50k plus on a watch in a million years. I can check out producer Michael, and I do, if I want to see the exotic watch experience, Oisin has been more interesting with the mid level type of thing,which are still very pricey. He must be making great money, and credit to him, but he might alienate his audience with these extravagant kind of watches.

wetlandsboy · 22-06-2022 6:51pm

I think he said that the AP was bought for €22k or €23k.
