Does the face gets scratches? Tried looking on their web something related to a sapphire crystal but was not lucky. Awesome vid btw!
@@gersonbernal9541 sapphire is quite difficult to scratch.
I adore the Brompton,it's by far the best folder out there . But I prefer a dahon,for larger wheels, better gear, less problems,and way cheaper. But that's just my opinion.
@@JohnJones-fk6ti no I get it Bromptons are pricey. What I would say though is is resale value is pretty good.
@@TimeandTalk it's not the money,I ware a Rolex worth more than 10 Bromptons, it's they have many mechanical issues straight out of the box,and at that price they shouldn't.
I just purchased a Brompton M6R Explore earlier this week that looks just like your 2nd Brompton in British racing green. I also own 3 Dahons, which I have found to be fabulous folding bikes, however they just can't fold down as small as the Brompton for international travel. I took out the Brompton for its maiden voyage yesterday and am quite pleased with its ride and handling, which is very quick and fun. You do have to be careful riding through pockets of sand or silt - don't expect to go through these as you would on your 700c road bike -- very twitchy in these situations. It did, however, slow down my MPH/KPH compared to my 700c road bike, of course, but I am aware of its strengths AND limitations. For international travel, the Brompton remains the gold standard. The only thing that compares for that purpose are Brompton knock offs which, by some accounts have improved in quality, e.g., Mobot, Pikes, and 3Sixty; but, I've never had a look at any of these to date. I appreciate that Bromptons are hand-made in their London factory - how many bikes are hand-made these days? It's also a very iconic bike and bike company, just like the other bike I finally purchased a few years ago: a Bianchi Specialissima. Life is good.
Great stuff! I agree, love the Brompton!
I love that Snoopy watch!❤
Thanks
I have a Limited set of two Swatch watches and limited in the case of the set I have is 888.!
Lovely watch. Pet hate of mine is servicing engraving. Disgusting behaviour.
bro how do you do to keep the Milano so clean and like new???
@@juanjosefloresfenieux7130 must be a mirage because believe me they do not look like new. Wipe them down with a cloth. You could use polish if you wished.
Just ordered one I like this one more than the newer one coming out … it’s so classic and seems to have all the high end features of far more costly watches … great video btw :)
That’s nice of you to say thank you 🙏
As an owner of a 114270 since around 2004, I never even thought about getting a 39mm. I wore my Explorer everyday for a decade until my wife gifted me a Grand Seiko GMT spring drive, which I wore daily for 10 years, though I'd get the Explorer out from time to time. I still have both the Explorer and Grand Seiko. While I've purchased several real luxury brands like Lange, which I use for special occasions, I now feel no need for any new watches. I'm glad to see Rolex come back to their senses to the 36mm format again. Would I like the longer power reserve? Sure. Will I get it. Naw. I'm happy.
Yes it’s a great watch. The only issue I can really find with it is it doesn’t have a little more pizzaz, but that’s not really the point of it, and another watch with a little more bling would pair nicely with it.
Thanks! Any update on how well it stands up to wearing in the rain and to washing?
Good question. It’s ok in the rain, but I wouldn’t expect water proofing in line with a modern water proof like a north face or something like that. I keep it in my bag for when I’m caught out in the rain, and it’s good for that. I haven’t washed it yet, but I will be shortly as it is starting to need it 😂
I'm going to beg to differ with you. My Tern model C makes the Brompton look like 19th century English cottage industry. Those hinge clamps are medieval. The wheels are too small, and with a short wheelbase, the bike is too twitchy for my taste. And the "cockpit" is too cramped and basically vertical: the riding position is pitched forward. The Tern is a modern design, upright riding position, 20" wheels with Schwalbe Big Apple tires (think smooth, shock absorbing). Why people worship the Brompton is quite beyond me. It's cute, and much lighter than the Tern, but it's 19th century engineering, compared to the Tern. And the Tern is a FRACTION of the cost of the Brommy. I think people love it because it makes them "feel British"! OK, fair enough. I'm gonna pass.
The thing about feeling British? Maybe for people who are not want a little taste of a British design (Brompton’s are popular all over the world). But aside from that, I see what you’re saying with the points you make, though I don’t personally agree. Most of the points you think I would think Brompton owners may agree with, but may phrase in a slightly different way. 😃The Bromptons do have their limitations yes, but most of these are sacrifices I think to get a compact folding size. I love them, think they are really well designed, really cool, and for my part I think they are fun to ride, but they are a bike for certain terrains, and I have a mountain bike as well.
@adamdonovan I have to totally second what you're saying, from Italy and old folding bike fan. Here, a country with its own fashion police already, there's a cult of "British", like cars with the Union Jack top, etc. (Which i'm far from questioning, ok) Well, Italian "Bromptonians" get blinded by the high price for a start - it will funnily make them feel like they are vip's. And they'll get mad if you do question them as a folding cyclist. Not the case of the nice guy who's made the video here! Makes me sorry to make my point, but... But at the end of the day a Brompton is a small folder but has to give up all the rest. Yes they do long rides. Yes they load them with racks and bags. But in reality, it's all too proprietary and most people won't get to do so. With not just Tern but pretty much ALL other 20" folders (if they're good quality), for a few centimeters more you get all the rest = an actual bike, standard components (not least: standard outer trasmission with many gradual gears all upgrades you may want to do), standard feeling, etc. With my standard folder i've just completed Colle Fauniera in Italy, 2481 slm, loaded, and i kept up with big bikes along. (I do fold it and flip it on luggage racks on trains as well). And i know for a fact that on a Brommie I could do the same, but with many more limits. Let alone the steel, rust, etc.
@adamdonovan5633 - I own 3 Dahons, which as I stated above, are fabulous folding bikes: Mariner D8, Mariner D7, and Vitesse D7. I find that their 20" wheels travel a bit faster and of couse smoother than the Brompton's 16" wheels. And, when folded in half they can get pretty small, but for flight and international travel, in particular, nothing beats the Brompton design. Honestly, there's something very special about owning such an inconic bike and bike brand like Brompton. And, what other folding bikes are hand-made that are as travel-worthy?
Beautiful watch. What tool do you use to change strap? I have a tool for changing my strap on seiko but it's not fit with the explorer.
@@PRIIIINCE it’s a Bergeon. I can’t remember the ref number but it will almost certainly be the first one that comes up if you search for it. I use it for all my watches.
If you measure your foot, how long would it be? In cm
@@baconisthebest304 I’m not sure I’m afraid and away at the moment. But I take a 10 in every other shoe, so it is very unusual for me to be able to downsize
When you come back can you please measure your foot. I want to estimate my size.
I would've expected to see the Vulcain skindiver nautique in this video
@@williamm7851 I’m not familiar with it but shall check it out 😃
You have massively overstuffed that front pouch at the end 😂 but some lovely shots that help me chose which colour to go for
Tbh one of my favourite things about the bag is how big the front pouch is. I probably do overstuff it, but find it very useful, though it does bulge so not the best for the rain. Thanks for the kind words!
I managed to snag one on eBay. Love the look! My main downside is how hot the back gets on a summers day.
@@channo3852 Yes I think that would be the case with any backpack though tbf.
I got one for €25 today. I love clear watches too.
@@loudloveen yes it’s very cool. Everything should be clear l 🤣
Too small.
Agreed
Che Guevara was nothing more than a murderer and a psychopath.
Finally realized what is throwing me off, no seconds hand on the thinner new one! I love the yellow hand too much but otherwise dope how thin they can make em!
@@MrSwaggernaut83 yeah it’s v cool
From my experience with owning four G9s, if it is a borderline fit, it's better to size up because they can shrink slightly in the wash. Just to add, It is incorrect that James Dean is wearing a red Baracuta g9, he is wearing a very similar style Mcgregor drizzler jacket.
Ok cool, thanks for the info and the comment! 😃
Great Review! How are you finding it after a month of use? They have a sale on this for £288 at the moment but I’m torn between this and the Filson Dryden.
I love it! Really hard wearing, I love the huge front pocket and I find it really comfortable on the back. Haven’t got a bad thing to say about it except for the flimsy leather handle.
Who's selling a Journeyman for £288???
Looking at the comparison photos at 1:40, can now see that the dial came from another watch, the name OMEGA and Seamaster 30 have been drawn on in another style of lettering, Seamaster stood out, in terms of value…
Cool Piece of Info
@@TimeandTalk It’s a Franken watch, I have a few with me, in some ways it’s a good thing, in others - not, may increase the in this case, or loose value, it’s still worth hanging on to though.
been listening to a lot of François since her passing and stumbled upon this video after noticing her Cartier watch in many photos. thank you for this.
No worries. Her music is amazing. I would highly recommend her autobiography too.
Looks nice but I think I prefer the old fuller cut. The modern G9s are too slim for my taste.
I agree!
Bello pure io l'ho comprato direttamente in negozio Swatch. Mi piaceva molto. Gli Swatch le prediligo se sono eccentrici.
I agree, and there have been some Really eccentric ones over the years.
Radio controlled with a pep calender this would be perfect.
Yes. It’s a great watch though nonetheless
@@TimeandTalk Ageeed, I just feel it's a shame they missed out on 'perfection'.🤣
Free is a very good price.
You’ve for to admire him for really not caring about price or what others think.

Gloves ? Your at home ? It's your watch ? Jesus X christ .
Been using mine for quite some time, used as my daily commute to work 20Miles thru and fro with 6Speed. So far so good.
I have the Chrono range from 1989 to 1994 which I started collecting in 1990 ! Skipper , Black Friday , White Horses , Signal Flag etc etc
Well jealous. Get in early, that’s the trick with these things! They are very cool, much more interesting than the current models. Don’t know they they didn’t just rerelease some of those models rather than inflate them sizes and make them look daft.
@@TimeandTalk very true ! It all started by coincidence receiving the Chrono Gold Finger as a gift way back in 1990 - I was lucky enough to come across the a White Horses in London in 1993-94 , I believe , I paid 200 pounds at the time which was really expensive but I knew without it I’ll have no collection . I think it’s now at 1000 € but I’ll never sell 😎 thanks for the video ! Very nice to see - greetings from Malta
@@robcalkelme Yes 200 I could imagine was v expensive back then but looks like a bargain now. That's the problem with collectable swatches, you cannot wear them. I bought a Swatch called St Germain, tried it on my wrist straight after opening the package and the strap snapped in half. I think I had owned it for about 17 seconds 🤣. Rookie mistake I know.
@@TimeandTalk they’re very delicate ( straps ) we are talking about 32-34 year old straps ! The leather straps are no problem to some extent , though if you wish to wear a collectible , ( and why not ?!?! ) best to swap the straps immediately and keep the original ones in the box . Then again, the original straps might snap whilst replacing .
@@robcalkelme Yes that is what I do now, but I learned the hard way 🤣
Nice Gibson Hummingbird.
Thanks!
Seriously, "Brompton owners tend to be holier than thou"? 🤣😂🤣 As a Kickbike owner and Dahon folding bike owner (both 20+yr old bikes), I have run into owners of fancy road bikes with that "holier than thou" attitude and focused on speed, but so far the recumbent trike owners, folding bike owners, Brompton owners, have been pretty down to earth, "let's have a fun ride" attitude. Of course, that is just my experience to date.
Did I say that! 😂 My bad if I did, was just joking if so. I am one so not sure why I would.
Great video and review. I live in Lyon and there's a Paraboot shop here and I love to go there.
That’s nice of you to say. Yes great brand
I own Trickers Stow x 2, Burford, Malton boots and 3 pairs of Trickers Henry the best a man can get in this price range
Yes they are great quality. I’m a big fan of Paraboot too. Think they compare in terms of quality
@@TimeandTalk never heard of them the other boots I own are Crockett and Jones which are top notch like Trickers, my favourite are my rough out suede Coniston boots, a few years old getting better with age
@@richyclubsport5155 Yes a French brand. Crockett and Jones nice quality too. Got a pair of their loafers.
Great review! I agree, the pricing is a bit absurd considering they outsourced production. I understand the company has traded ownership quite a bit in the last few decades so it is more of a “lifestyle” brand. I own many backpacks but have yet to try the Journeyman but I do see the appeal and share the same sentiments regarding the aesthetics and how adult it looks with the added functionality. Thank’s for taking the time. Not many reviews on this newer iteration out there.
Thanks, that’s nice of you to say. I am really impressed with the quality. In terms of it being a lifestyle brand, I guess that has been the case for a long period of time, even when made in America. Some have said that they prefer the non-American version, but I can’t comment obvs.
Nice vid man, subbed
Thanks that’s nice of you to say.
Thank you for sharing. It’s educational to learn what to watch out for.
I went with a 42 at 5.9“ height and about 195 pounds and it fits quite relaxed. I have broad shoulders and huge legs, so the boxier fit of the Bedale looks quite balanced on me. Also, this makes layering very easy and helps with the breathability of the jacket.
It’s a great jacket
Nice video and information. ❤
🙏
Looks over polished
.
@@TimeandTalk the bezel almost looks like the one on an OP!
Sucks they don’t make the screen snap on guards anymore. That’s the whole reason we wore them in the 1980s.
Wasn’t familiar with, so you’ve taught me something
As a "Rainy Dane" my now much former than 2019 "Superlight" (At least the Names had a reason then) is a model with mudguards. The small "Easy wheels" are mostly useless on anything but a totally flat area! So at a time I had 10cm wheels, but I removed them again, as also the Superlight extender, with a carbon tube in the middle! As a "weightwatcher" my bike is now very far from Original and presently around 9 kilo, but still looks all Standard! As a Dane our Bromptons are all delivered with a 600mm seat post and a high handlebar. And I still have 6 gears, though I didn't know at first for what use I had the low gears (So why 12 gears? An extra ring in front does the same!). I had to buy a special pump, now also named "Brompton", as my original titanium triangle hadn't the holder for one, from weight reasons🙄! It needs a special holder on the frame. By that I use a Selle Carbon Saddle and a black, Brompton, theft preventing and shaped titanium seat post, as my handlebar is from carbon. I never leave it alone during use, so I doubt that any would try to steal it, but for security! It is a horrible bike on the small, hard rolling wheels, but for its purpose, transport as folded, it is the best. Finn. Denmark
Thanks for the comment. Yes I would love to get the weight down on mine. It’s a H6L and uncomfortable to carry for long periods. The really light ones are so expensive!
H6R here lol @@TimeandTalk
Not exactly the nicest looking watch with those bulging numerals. I own the BN0211-50E which is the most handsome promaster tough in eco drive in the series IMHO. 🤗
I kind of agree. When I first saw I thought it was hideous but I changed my mind
Love the skin line. I had a Ligne de Vie for many years, and loved it.
Yeah they are cool
Everyone is going off the brand I’ve noticed celebrities seem to be selling them back to the dealers. I don’t like the designs, still not high horological despite their wait lists and prefer a leather strap on a watch in any case.
Yes that’s true. I like the designs, but tired of all of the other stuff that goes with it.
I like the look of those and that Maron colour is fantastic! I have a black pair of Michael but prefer Paraboot’s loafers and their Chambord shoe looks great.
Yes the marron are great. Love the Michael. Been looking at the Caraux loafer this week.
Its called a umbrella yoke.....The G9 is the original Harrington. Worn by Steve McQueen borh on and off screen.Elvis, Frank Sinatra,most recent Daniel Craig etc. Fraser tartan is the lining and no other can use this as Baracut have permission to use it.... There is only one Harrington and its the G9.You just bought the wrong size mate
Yeah, I did. Common problem for me when I’m buying clothes 😂.
Best bike ever. In Madeira with mine
Not going to lie I’m jealous of you riding in Madeira 😂
Sean, thanks for bringing this watch to our attention
Yes it’s cool
