Thanks!

I’m loaded up on these bracelets, too! They’re addictive...be careful. They are made by Dowling Brothers. Great quality.

Awesome shot! That blue is so addicting it's crazy. Nautilus got nothing on this piece, about time it has its time to shine.

To be honest, it must be so difficult because the blue looks different depending on the light ranging from royal blue to a deep navy to almost black

I think the blue strap matches well enough. It's not possible to get rubber to match a laquer dial :) . I initially really liked the silver/white dual time but the black rubber looked odd to me. I'm not saying they could have colour matched, but the blue is in keeping with the overall package IMO.

He stepped on some toes around these parts after jumping the line and flipping that one a few months later. A lot of us with an actual spend history have been waiting.

How disappointing. Makes me question all his content. Frankly, he sold it too soon — he would have sold it for a lot more and it hung on just a little longer, haha.

Agree with you. I was so excited about the watch after seeing his videos. And then not only he sold it, he made some videos to convince us of that it was moral and right to do so. What a joke

Indeed it is disappointing. He says he's passionate, but above all he's a guy with the demeanor of a spoiled little child. I unsubscribed from his channel. For me the Hulk will follow, he can make money, that's all he cares. The rest is to make hiself interesting, little youtube notoriety for the ease of obtaining the watches.

He needs to keep churning out content to keep his channel going. He can only squeeze so many new videos from continuing to own the same watches, so sadly he’s decided he needs to keep flipping to keep generating more content. He may have been a passionate collector at some point, but I think now he’s a slave to his own channel.

There’s a part in his video where he acts surprised that David SW offered him like a grand above retail for his VC Overseas or something. He acts like he “didn’t know” this was a hot model selling on the gray market for way over retail. The whole thing was extremely off putting and annoying. I agree his demeanor is that of a little child.

Frankly is a word not a name. Its meaning is similar to “honestly”. The guy you replied to was joking with you because you asked “who’s frankly”.

I get that, but a bunch of other channels find ways to review watches without buying them. YoureTerrific has a third of BW’s subscribers and consistently reviews watches on loan.

It’s his watch and he can sell it as he wants. But I agree with you, if you want to sell a watch just sell it, no point in clickbaiting folks into waisting their time on the whiny apologies of a guy who arrogantly assumes we should somehow care about what type of collector he is. We should not, even if the watch is something as special as a 4500v. I also sold mine recently for another Lange… did you see a post here apologizing? Not to mention a video on YT?

Yeah his attitude and whining is very annoying. Don't tell us it's your ultimate grail watch and spend all that time praising it to flip it a few months later. Really cuts down on his genuiness.
