Video on a prim Cal. 66 based on the ETA 1080.

It might be of interest to some of you. I love the Cal. 66; it is a really nice movement, a bit plain but hard-working and well worth the money, espec...

commented on Watch reviewers/watch dealers- should they? Is it any of our business? Or as fans we ought to seek the more “ethical” reviews? ·

I don't trust YouTubers I was just offered $1,200 to review a watch i said no. However, if that had been 12,000, I'd have said yes. I would not outright have lied even for that sort of money, I don't think, but I'll be honest and say that sort of money would have some influence on me, and anyone who says otherwise is either a liar or they simply don't need money, in which case I'd wonder why they took it in the first place.

Most of the mainstream watch-press are paid to go to events; make of that what you will.

The only time i'd trust a YouTube review is if they have no horse in the race. I just did a Prim Cal 66. I think you should all go get one. The watch has been out of production for over 30 years, so you can trust that I think it's good and I like it. That's about it.

I'd never review something I sell, like leather goods; that one hits a bit close to home for me.

commented on What makes a watch good? ·

People's time and how much they get paid for that time is what makes a watch valuable to me. What makes a watch good is if it's still sticking after 60 years. Ultimately, it's just mechanical art, jewellery, if you like to call it that. What makes it good is whether you like it or not.

I designed a dial, cut the indexes, and white-silver-plated it. There is a video about it on my channel if you are interested

commented on This YouTube guy crossed the line ·

Thumbs down will probably get it recommended more. The algorithm thrives on conflict and engagement. YouTube doesn't care if a video is bad or misleading; it only cares about engagement. You'll help a creator by hitting the thumbs down.

commented on Does dial aging/patina bothers you? ·

I can't recommend them enough; there work is first-class.

commented on So...how do you handle winter? ·

Nice watch! Winter is my favourite time of year. I can't stand the sunshine and the heat. Hate it, lol
