WatchGang Black Review - William Gregor Automatic BWG30090-208
what is up guys This is Andrew with my watch addiction dot-com coming back to take a
look at that watch gang black subscription watch that I received for
March 2018 so as you guys may remember I received that William Gregor for my
March 2018 watch gang black subscription watch and that's what we're gonna take a
look at today but before we do guys down on the right hand corner of the screen
is that subscribe button can you go ahead and smash that guy if you have not
already also don't forget next Saturday March 31st it's going to be my overview
of my watch collection as well as in that video we will do the drawing to
figure out which one of you guys will win one of my watches anyway let's dive
into this William Gregor but before we do let's take a look and see what's on
my wrist today
the watch of the day for me is that deep blue depth star that I received as a
part of my watch gang Platinum subscription from a few months back so
as you may remember if he or if you didn't see the other video william
gregor comes in a I'm gonna say this a cardboard box with almost like a
synthetic leather on top of it we open it up and inside the box we have our
operating instructions from William Gregor and then in the box as well one
other thing I'm gonna point out while I'm in here this is almost like a cheap
cardboard on the inside of this box open it up
and it does come with this genuine leather
William gregor leather strip incidentally no quick release pins on
this leather strip but it does say william gregor right there on the clasp
then we have the watch itself so the watch itself features a green sunburst
dial with gold indices and gold hands what you can't see is i'm trying to take WatchGang Black Review - William Gregor Automatic BWG30090-208
it off so you can see that green sunburst i'll gold indices gold hands on
this watch and a date indicator at that three o'clock position now this is an
automatic movement it's the only information I can find about it without
cracking the case back on it is this as a Japanese automatic movement in it I
honestly have no idea which one it is and I don't feel like cracking the case
back on it to learn any more about it so there's that case diameter on this watch
is 41 millimeters with a case thickness of 13 millimeters
this does have a 22 millimeter steel mesh band that is just basically a hook
in clasp so this band strap you're gonna hook over top then lock down and then
fold over to lock down now if you're unfamiliar with these types of watch
bands and how to size a watch like this if you see that little notch right there
in the clasp what you can actually do there's an arrow pointing right to it
right there what you can actually do is stick a small flathead screwdriver in
that not that not that whole bar will actually flip towards the long side of
the band so towards the watch that will flip up and then that'll allow this
whole carriage or clasp to slide back and forth on this band if you look
closely on the back of this band or bracelet there is notches our indents in
the back of that steel mesh and there's also a knockout here on the back of the
carriage that will slide and hopefully catch on one of those indents so that's
how you size this this stainless steel strap there's not a whole lot to say
about this watch for me on I am happy that I received a stainless steel
bracelet instead of just solely a leather strap however this just this
watch just isn't really one of my styling I tend to tend to be interested
in a little bit more than this and that green and gold combination just really
isn't something that I typically would wear again for those that are unfamiliar
watch gang black subscription that I received this from is $99 per month and
you are promised to receive a watch at greater value than what you paid for it
which we'll take a look at here in a minute to see if that holds true for
this one but just a reminder watch gang is a monthly subscription service where
you have no idea what kind of watcher getting and
that's that's part of the fun or part of the interest in watch gang if you're if
you're getting into watch gang for the sole purpose of getting a watch that you
like and solely a watch that you like you sometimes you can score sometimes
you lose out it all depends on what your personal comfort level is with getting a
watch that you want long story short if you're someone that's extremely picky
about what they like watch gang my assumption is not for you
you would likely be unhappy with it but if you're somebody that likes like me
that just likes to learn about new watches and likes to see new things and
try out new things it's definitely something to to check out there's a link
right to watch gang down in the description section so you guys may WatchGang Black Review - William Gregor Automatic BWG30090-208
remember this card is the partner card with a link to more information about
the watch gang black watches that went out this month let's jump over to this
website and take a look at what they have and what we think about this
month's black tier watches from watch game so if we take a look here at the
website they actually had surprisingly to me quite a few watches different
watches that went out as a part of this month's watch gang black subscription
now I have seen this d1 Milanoo this ultra thin d1 Milano I know a lot of
people are complaining about this watch in the exchange I've seen a lot of hate
growing for this watch to me personally though I kind of would have been
interested to get that watch um I think it's a really interesting design
although I can't comment on its build quality cuz I've never seen one it's
just a really neat looking watch at at a high level
then of course Fortuna was featured this month with their chrono master series
this is also another watch given the fact that I love chronographs this is
another watch that I would been interested this month in receiving
as a part of my watch gang black subscription you see they have all sorts
of different flavors of the Fortuna chrono masters that they sent out this
month so incidentally if you guys are out there and you guys are watching this
and you have any one of the Fortuna watches that you've received and you'd
like to trade me for this william gregor absolutely reach out because i would be
all over that trade so all the Fortuna's now you guys see this Fortuna senator
right here this is kind of interesting I actually picked up this specific watch
in a trade a few months back so I have this one in my collection that you guys
will see next weekend then of course we come down to the William Gregor's and
they had some of the holdover Heritor Morrison automatics that they
sound as out as well this month now those Heritor Morrison automatics I'm
actually seeing a lot of guys that are really really liking those I personally
haven't seen one but I know I'm pretty sure watching over at his channel picked
up one I believe it was last month and I'm pretty sure he's he's a fan of that
one and I've seen a lot of guys that are really enjoying that watch but these are
the two william gregor watches that they sent out this first one is definitely
something that would probably interest me a little bit more than this maltese
band or Mahlon a's band watch that I received but you know what it's a
monthly subscription service it's a luck of the draw but that's what we ended up
with so let's jump into that one if we take a look at the page specifically
from watch gang it's got a picture of it as well and then it tells a little bit
about it stainless steel case Mulla nice band Japanese automatic movement and a
mineral crystal now there's a link here to Amazon listening for this watch which
we'll jump over to in a second then a link to the William gregor site so if we
jump over today Amazon listing Amazon listed has this
watch listed for three hundred and seventy nine dollars they dollar
shipping looks like they only have two in stock a little bit about that one if
we jump over to William Gregor's website itself they have a lot of different
watches I mean they just have a whole lot of different watches and they're
selling these with this steel mesh bracelet for 399 euros if I take a look
around a little bit more there's a website Nordic watches com that is also
listing this watch for 399 euros which is MSRP for this guy and this website
right here is just William Gregor's site specifically for this watch showing you
the case dimensions of 40 41 that's actually kind of interesting
William Gregor's site actually says this watches 40 millimeters across another
site I saw said it's 41 millimeters across so let's take a look and see what
I'm getting on this watch itself and on this watch itself without the crown we
are directly you guys can't see that because it's upside-down but we are
right at 41 millimeters on this diameter so I'm not sure if that was just a
rounding error on William gregor's site but their site is incorrect if you
actually measure this watch this watch is 41 millimeters in diameter whereas on
their site spells it out as 40 millimeters they're also listing their
strap with at 20 millimeters I'm wondering if this is not the exact same
watch but that's interesting anyway not a big deal if we jump over to ebay
obviously we're gonna see a lot of these watches up for sale on eBay not sure
there was a whole lot of love for these watches when they came out
I personally don't personally as far as my opinion on this watch I don't have
any I don't find anything wrong with it it is kind of annoying a little bit that
they won't spell out what automatic movement they use in it but that's not a
big deal in the grand scheme of things for $99 and me personally and again this
is only a personal comment I'm not a fan of that gold in green color combination
but that's just my personal preference it's nothing against the watch nothing
against the watch designer it's just that's not a color combination that I
personally would pick but you can see a lot of these William Gregor's up for
sale on eBay right now starting bid on this one has one bid at $50 here's
another one going for 80 for 99 this is somebody that's listing it for a hundred
and seventy nine or best offer here's somebody that posted this watch up for
bid roughly two or three days ago and it only has one $25 bid on it at the moment
and that's including fifty now $15 shipping that's that's man isn't
depending on where you're shipping from that's kind of expensive for shipping a
hundred and seventy nine bucks 200 bucks now granted these are a little bit
different model um I actually like the bracelet on these models a little bit
better than that steel mesh but nevertheless we're looking in anywheres
from twenty-five dollars on up realistically speaking my gut tells me
that these watches that are up here this watch has 11 hours left in one bid of
fifty dollars because the markets flooded with them right at the moment my
gut tells me that these are probably going to go far below the subscription
price for these watches simply because it's flooded with them
in my estimation what I'll likely do with this watch is let it sit on my
shelf for a little bit and let the market die down that's that's flooded
with these and then I'll bring this guy back out here in a couple of months and
try and sell our trade at that point hopefully it'll spark somebody's
interest I know that a lot of people have the opinion that this watch is very
similar looks a lot like that Seiko alpinist but neat looking watch
personally my thought process is up I was on the street and I was looking to
buy this watch and I wasn't in social media the whole nine yards I would
probably pay just based on the feel of this watch I would probably pay right
around the $100 range I'm not sure I would pay much more than that because
the the strap the band the bracelet the case it's not a real heavy-duty metal
this is an extremely light watch and to me unfortunately unless we're talking
titanium to me weight a lot of times mentally equates to value sturdiness you
know the whole nine yards thank you guys for sticking around and taking a look at
this William gregor watch with me today that I received as a part of my watch
gang black subscription for March 2018 really neat looking little watch not
sure I'm gonna hold on to it though because again is you guys know I'm not
really a huge fan of gold or gold in any moderation whatsoever and I'm not a fan
of that green and gold combination on the stainless steel case doesn't mean
it's not a nice watch doesn't mean it won't definitely work out well in
somebody's collection but I'm just going on the assumption that it's not going to
get a whole lot of wrist time in mind so I'm probably going to post this guy up
for trade and see what we can make out with it anyway guys thank you for
sticking around if you stick around a little bit longer I'll post up some
close-up shots of this watch so you guys can see a little bit closer if you guys
