Careful Tested. You almost showed a close up of the watches they are talking about. Wouldn't want to see that. :/

Adam: "hold on, I have to hold it up to my hearing aid"
Me: Weeping because Adam Savage is mortal

This video needs more comments about how this video needs more close-ups.

AWC ( A Watch Collector) is in fact the "Modifier". Her name is Crystal Gormsen and does great work.

Cameraman definitely not a watch guy. Hardly any detail close ups.

in my head: "oh oh let me see.. can I see? Oh show a close up of that"

[ramonk]

I love this. These guys are perfectly showing what passion and watch collecting should be! Its not the brand, not the pricetag, its the enjoyment you get from your timepeace! Thank you for sharing!

It's cool seeing Adam and Michael enthusiastic about watches. It's just weird that the camera didn't zoom in on the watches as they discussed specific details and they didn't film some shots of just the watches so we can see what they're talking about. The editor could have at least added some pictures pulled off the internet to make it seem more complete. I mean I guess it doesn't matter that much but it would make future videos more enjoyable to watch.

Need more macro B-Roll to show the watches =)

I think Adam is the true watch enthusiast, notice how carefully he put down his Seamaster

Michael would love the Richard Mille Crazy Hours. The hours go in incriments of 5. So, 8, 1, 6, 11, 4, 9, 2, 7, 12, 5, 10, 3, and then back to 8. Every time the minute hand goes back to the top of the hour, the hour hand jumps across the dial to the correct hour.

This video makes me want to wear a watch... and then instinctively check the time on my phone anyway.

I could watch these two talk about anything for days.

The way michael sets Adam’s favorite watch on the table at 4:49 it’s funny. I would have been more careful. But they’re built like tanks ❤

The mystery of the bezel markings explained: When you go on a dive you align the pip of the bezel with the minute hand and the makings on the bezel tell you how much time has elapsed, since you started the dive. The red zone on the bezel usually between the pip and the 15 or 20 minute mark indicates the time you can safely dive below a certain depth without having to make decompression stops. The air from a scuba tank is at higher pressure than the surrounding environment, so that you are still able to breathe with a large body of water pressing on you from all sides. When you resurface too quickly the added pressure can lead to a build up of gas bubbles in your bloodstream which can cause decompression sickness and even lethal embolisms. The longer you stay at greater depth the higher the risk for DCS occuring. 15 - 20 minutes is seen as the safe limit you can stay at depth. Any longer and you have to make decompression stops on your way up .That is also why the bezels of ISO certified dive watches only rotate counterclockwise, so if you knock it out of its set position by accident it will give you a shorter time readout, better safe than sorry.

"Watching watchers watch watches."

An idea for a future video:
Take b-roll footage close up, so viewers can follow the details discussed in the video 👍
