My new pocket watches!

[MadShroomzAirsoft]

Dude great video, I love pocket watches. I'm looking at a Charles-Hubert with a hunters case. Great video. Love rapport of London they remind me of Sherlock Holmes. And polyban.... Lay off. The video is camera is fine.

[TeHGoodReverend]

@MadShroomzAirsoft Thanks! Since I was a kid Ive loved pocket watches. Which Charles Hubert interests you?

[Polybun]

get a tripod dumbshit, and next time, set the white point on the camera correctly. This video looks like shit.

[wnsbug]

and when Im talking about the flaw, i only mean the obscured view, not the "too little space for the roman numerals." I actually like this :)

[wnsbug]

I have a question. The Rapport watch is really amazing, mainly because the hole for seeing the innards of the watch is way bigger. This has a small flaw: this gives less space for the roman numerals, and at the very edges, the view of the roman numerals is obscured because of the angle of the glass. Is that a bad thing? Because I want to invest in this watch, I would pay the money if this can be my watch to use for the rest of my life.

[TeHGoodReverend]

@wnsbug The only problem I have with the Rapport is the fact it has no seconds hand. The dial might look a bit obscured but it doesnt really affect the watches overall elegance or ability to manage time :). The Rapport is a fine piece and comes with my highest reccomendation!

[wnsbug]

@TeHGoodReverend mm true some people might prefer having the seconds hand... but I personally prefer not having it so i can focus more on the mechanisms :D

Also, do you think an engraving would look ok on a plain case like this one? I sorta wanted to get the Royal London 90005-02 and getting my initials engraved on the shield design in the middle, but a plain case just.. doesn't seem right for engraving, although I do want to personalize it... oh the dilemma..

[TeHGoodReverend]

@wnsbug You can always go to Pocketwatchsite and look at some other manufacturers/watch designs. I recently picked up a nice Swiss Bernex watch that is Swiss made! The Rapport is nice though because it looks like a Bernex $900 watch! As fae as engraving is concerned...I tend to agree with you, although you could engrave on the inside of the case!

[TeHGoodReverend]

@wnsbug Let me know what you decide on!

[wnsbug]

@TeHGoodReverend I'm leaning towards the Rapport, simply because it uses better movement material, I'm sure the Royal London that I want is good and looks really nice but the material isn't as good and the dial is broader (doesnt look as sexy). And I'm hoping the Rapport can last me a whole lifetime, hopefully it can!

What do you think would be a better investment? I know a site where I can get Rapport for a little over $300, and the Royal London for $110. (converted from british pounds) :)

[TeHGoodReverend]

@wnsbug If you have the money buy the Rapport, I've had it for 3 years now and have used it quite extensively and its chrome finish hasnt worn down, and it works great! The Rapport uses a clone of the ETA 6497 Skeleton movement which on Swiss watches can be as high as $900-1100 :(. Ive been into watches for a good while and have never heard of the Royal London watch...looks Chinesr-made imo.

Good luck and yes the Rapport is mechanical so it will last forever :D. Just wind it!

[snackmachines]

is that a typewriter in the background????

[rmkelley1776]

@snackmachines

It sounds like the auto-focus on the camcorder constantly re-adjusting. My old Sony HandyCam did that. When there is plenty of noise the built-in mic wont pick it up. But in a quiet room, with someone speaking softly...

Maybe next time, the Auto-Focus should be turned off.

[TeHGoodReverend]

@rmkelley1776 Hmmm I wasnt aware the auto focus was behind the noise thank you for bringing it to my attention.

[Im10AndImThisFat]

You should do another video on the watches, if you still have them. Or start another channel for them.

[Troy364]

sweet watches Los

[Smoothbluehero]

Desperado I believe is spanish for awaken

[TeHGoodReverend]

@Smoothbluehero No thats despierto*

[Smoothbluehero]

@TeHGoodReverend Oh, then does Desperado mean any thing?

[TeHGoodReverend]

@Smoothbluehero Desperado is an old western word used usually in reference to an outlaw :).

[Digiscat]

@TeHGoodReverend Or demon, to my knowledge.

[Im10AndImThisFat]

@Smoothbluehero I thought it was Spanish for desperate.

[TeHGoodReverend]

@Im10AndImThisFat Desesperado is desperate :). 

[SheetMusicToLife]

I enjoyed your video, cherish your new collection of pocket watches. I'm thinking of purchasing a Charles Hubert Mechanical 3859. How are they doing so far? Your collection reminds me of a short cutscene from "Time Machine" (2002). Near the beginning, a collection of pocket watches were shown.

[TeHGoodReverend]

@SheetMusicToLife Anything Charles Hubert is nice. That particular watch is more or less the same as my Desperado(in looks and movement) although the gold might wear down quicker. All of my watches are doing fine, and anything made by Charles Hubert, Desperado or Rapport are all excellent buys!

[ElginPocketwatch]

i like how the rapport hasa movement that actually fits the case other than the charles hubert that have a wristwatch movement in a larger case

[TeHGoodReverend]

@ElginPocketwatch Yeah...the Rapport is a really nice watch. I wear it wherever I go :3.

[hightp1]

They are some nice watches, thanks for sharing. While I liked all 3 (and I have a Hubert and a Desperado) I actually expected more from the Rapport. From your video, the hands looked a bit difficult to read with the scrollwork.

One final thing, you should not snap the case closed with one hand. You should always drepress the crown when closing the cover. Too much snapping can bend the internal clip resulting in a cover that won't stay closed.

[TeHGoodReverend]

@hightp1 Yes I know, It was a one time thing I did on video :).

[VeiVitu]

Thanks for the video, helped me buy the third model.

According to Rapport the movements are manufactured in Germany and assembled in England.

I believe it is more expensive because it has better quality.

Movements from this source are called ebauche and it was common practice also in the manufacturers of the past. Even at the beginning of famous manufacturers such as Omega.

You can buy directly from Rapport. Search for Rapport of london.

They've an excellent attendance.

[TeHGoodReverend]

@VeiVitu Yup, Rapport's description from the site was that the movement and quality rivals that of Swiss watches! :)

Better quality indeed! I love the watch!

[toya7toya]

hey i bought a WP001 pretty cheap i would like to know if you know anything about it so please answer

[TeHGoodReverend]

@toya7toya Was it advertised as a Antique silver tone something like that...?

[toya7toya]

@TeHGoodReverend it was advertised on ebay with this title NEW SILVER ENGRAVE QUARTZ POCKET WATCH W CHAIN 1 US

[TeHGoodReverend]

@toya7toya I don't know, it looks like one of cheap Chinese-made watches. Plus it doesn't run on a wind.

[sezteekellcourtz]

thankyou for watch.ing lol :D 

[TeHGoodReverend]

@EdmondDantes1934 Oh that one looks like my Desperado watch xD. And to answer your question, I am currently trying to upload a video about my newest watch, but sadly I havent the time :(.

[TeHGoodReverend]

@EdmondDantes1934 Nice which one?

[TeHGoodReverend]

@EdmondDantes1934 As soon as I can, the holidays have left my kind of busy >.>.

[TeHGoodReverend]

@EdmondDantes1934 Sure thing! My uncle sent me as a gift; another Charles Hubert which I will be making a video of!

[TeHGoodReverend]

@EdmondDantes1934 I plan to buy a watch for everyday of the week ^_^.

[chand36]

@TeHGoodReverend Is the Hubert like the rapport. Where both the front and back open or is the Hubert a srew down case? By the way. Nice video. I was going to sercribe to ur page but saw a bunch of ninja stuff and decided not to. U should make videos or a new channel just for watches. ;)

[TeHGoodReverend]

@chand36 Heh no problem!

No the Charles Hubert does not open in the back. I do however have a Charles Hubert that is a double case watch. I can make a video in a few days if you like :P.

Maybe I'll make a new channel and dedicate it to watches :3. 

[chand36]

Is the hurbert also a hunter case?

[TeHGoodReverend]

@chand36 Umm...by hunters case are you referring to the fact it has a circular lid? Dual case? Or that it has the hinges where the 6/9 is?

[LukeWhitaker]

nice

[TeHGoodReverend]

@LukeWhitaker Thank you. 

[1978DarkKnight]

Cool watches...

[TeHGoodReverend]

@1978DarkKnight Thanks! By the way how have you been!?

[1978DarkKnight]

@TeHGoodReverend Been doin well... been working at getting my first book published. Btw watch # 3 looked really cool

[TeHGoodReverend]

@1978DarkKnight Yeah everyone really likes watch #3 :P.

[rheinmetall30mm]

500 = a nice ak-47.

[TeHGoodReverend]

@rheinmetall30mm Bleh :P 

[rheinmetall30mm]

That third one is breath taking. I could sit ans WATCH something like that for hours. IT blows me away how they can make such things! NICE NICE NICE!

[TeHGoodReverend]

@rheinmetall30mm Thank you, I paid $500 for it and yeah when I first got it I laid it on my bed and just watched time fly...literally lol.

- Rev

P.S The third watch is ENGLISH! :D

[rheinmetall30mm]

WOW, I got it to work, AWESOME! I LOVE it, amazing, I USE to own one watch for everyday of the week.

[TeHGoodReverend]

@rheinmetall30mm I am working on doing the same lol, I have another watch on the way lol.

[rheinmetall30mm]

I can't get it to buffer now! damn!

[Jayare89]

Ayyy you got the watches! Nice.

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

really pretty watches, the 3rd one is the most exciting. what's an average price for a pocket watch?

[TeHGoodReverend]

@FatGuyWithAKatana It really depends on the maker, and the parts used.

For example the first two watches I showed are about $83 each, while the third one(the one you like) was $469.

I reccomend checking out pocketwatchsite(dot)com for a good idea, and don't even bother checking out the swiss made watches they are $1000+.

[malevolenceXXXensues]

in my opinion the nickel plated one was the best

[TeHGoodReverend]

@malevolenceXXXensues None of my watches are nickel plated. To avoid confusion just say "I liked the first/second/third watch". :P

By process of elimination I know it wasn't the second though ^_^.

[malevolenceXXXensues]

@TeHGoodReverend last one

[sanewave]

im jealous of your watched :)

[TeHGoodReverend]

@sanewave :P 

[Gaddesreinhart]

Those are some swell watches Rev.

[TeHGoodReverend]

@Gaddesreinhart Why thank you :).

[frikandfrak22]

Nice video and quality! The third 1 was the nicest i think :)

[TeHGoodReverend]

@frikandfrak22 Thanks narshredder :3.

[SatoRindou]

The Last one is my favorite, very beautiful design, and it opens to reveal the inner workings?! Saves me from taking it apart to look at it's design, and forgetting how to put it back together. Just the price, not so nice.

[TeHGoodReverend]

@SatoRindou Haha, yeah I like the third one too :)! But if it makes you feel better I had the money to buy it so ^_^.

[Failcard]

So that's what you sound like.

[TeHGoodReverend]

@Failcard Yup ^_^
