    “The Talking Hands” - New YouTube Channel

    I’ve just noticed that the bloke from the Watchfinder videos has his own YouTube channel now. No longer are we confined to seeing his hands. Not sure if he’s packed it in at WF to do his own thing, or whether this is a side-hustle. Content is fairly minimal but growing quickly. Check it out and let me know what you reckon. For those curious to see what he looks like…the wait is over:

    He looks nothing like I pictured him in my head.
    He could have put a comb through his barnet!

    Thanks for the heads up as I do really like his presenting style on the WF videos so I shall check out this channel!

    His voice always reminds me of Alan Davies!

    Interesting. Surely he can’t do WF and have his own watch channel?

    Nah. He's a young, ratty looking Clarkson wannabe. A beady eyed, barely bearded, breathy respouter of trite, marketing platitudes with zero originality.

    I’ve always liked his work with WF, and I think his new channel is off to a strong start. Subscribed, and enjoying the content so far.

    I saw his face in the suggested feed icons and thought it was Luis Suarez .

    He's an easy listen with a cup of coffee and I'm sure he'll do well with his new channel

    I can't agree more.

    In the past he has stated that a Seiko is better than a Rolex, and a Tudor has beat Rolex again. He was of course right on both counts. Bring the video's on.......

    I like his new channel. He seems to be trying a few different things at the moment.

    I’ve seen a few more of them now and have enjoyed as really interesting topics are talked about.

    He talks a lot of sense in this video, explaining the role Tudor plays in preventing the likes of Omega and Breitling crowbarring their way into the Rolex wake as it moves up mkt.

    Its nice to watch a video that doesn’t suddenly spring in distracting content such as Adrian B&J tends to favour.

    I rather enjoyed his latest video on the "broken" watch industry.

    Despite all our supply frustrations the independent watchmakers are in rude health, and are a place for our passions to live. Kudoke was featured inthe video, and I'm very taken with the Kudoke 1, which has a movement designed in partnership with Richard Habring. My Dornbluth isn't even here yet, and I'm looking with some desire at it.

    I was so impressed I nearly posted it here last night. I quite like Garrick myself.

    Liked him on WF also, be nice to watch someone who isn't either just shouting or obviously trying to sell you something

    I like his work, the way he says rolex makes me cringe though.
