Rolex Land-Dweller surprise reveal + Credor, Cartier & more — Zach’s 3-WATCH THROW DOWN
Time+TideA Rolex Land-Dweller bombshell has entered the Time+Tide NYC Discovery Studio villa!
Five years. Hundreds, thousands of watches. Zero collection reveals (at least with Andrew and Zach together). Until now. Andrew and Zach go head-to-head for the three-watch throwdown they should have done years ago — daily wearer, dress watch, wild card — minimal shilling, no softballs, just personal pieces with real skin in the game. You’ll have to watch the video for their full thoughts, logic, and reasoning. But below you can get a taste of what you’ll find.
Zach drops a bombshell: a brand-new Rolex Land-Dweller 36, kept secret for a full month (four watches left the collection to make this secondary market purchase happen). Andrew is genuinely blindsided.
Andrew’s TAG Heuer x Time+Tide Aquaracer Solargraph ‘Sundowner’ squares up against it in the daily category — quartz, titanium/rose gold, and unapologetically wearable everywhere.
In the dress round, Andrew brings the Cartier Tank Automatic — larger, perhaps, than purists prefer, but undefeated in style and, crucially, readable for Andrew’s ageing eyes.
Zach counters with his proclaimed grail: a Credor Eichi II Wako Edition ref. GZLT999 from the Micro Artist Studio in platinum, with a second hand so smooth it’s practically obscene.
The movement finishing, compared to his Rolex, reveals a perfect live comparison of strong industrial finishing against the highest-tier of hand decoration.
Just look at those mile-wide bevels on the Credor calibre 7R14. Yum.
Then the wild cards. Andrew reaches for his trusted Toledano & Chan B/1 — a brutalist, architecturally confronting piece that repels you in photos and arrests you on the wrist.
Zach answers with a beige-lacquered Cartier Santos-Dumont limited edition — number 249 of 250 — the watch that’s earned him more “will you sell it?” DMs than anything else in his collection. The answer remains no.
This isn’t a competition. It’s a conversation between two guys who’ve been talking watches for over five years and finally let the cameras into the room where it actually happens.
