I assume you know you should wear the watch above the wrist and you shouldn’t monkey with the crown while the watch is on your wrist.

Looks like fun! Still own the W140?
Sold the sedan, still have the ‘94 S600 C140 💨
@@BasemWasef Nice. I sold my W140 last year too. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on SBC braking on the Maybach etc. Have it on my new early model W211.
@@BIMMERZEITT Onward and upward... as for SBC, when it works, it's great, apart from the brake feel that's got its own weird feedback... have you had any issues?
@@BasemWasef I had some stored codes for hydraulic pressure on the 2003 e320. Pedal did feel a bit off. The pump sounded like an air compressor charging all the time. Brought to Mercedes, got a brand new pump installed free of charge. 25 year warranty! Pedal feels fantastic, should be good for another 20 years.
@@BIMMERZEITT Wow, that's very cool.
Standard it can be a bit not nice enough but a well kept with lowered suspension right wheels and shiny colour it will beat all new cars!
Pointless explaining to any female. Men built everything = man's world
BMW had both double glazing and softclose optional in the e32, predating W140….
who cares What she thinks
I love it, and would buy one if I could. But in your wife's defense, you can tell that car the funniest joke in the world and it will never laugh. She wants to see beautiful curves in the bodywork like the 2006 CLS.
Awesome! Humble suggestion, relax your grip. Relaxing your grip always increases your fluidity and control of a vehicle especially in high performance situations.
Easy answer, the w140 is a masculine signifier of status and wealth usually seen in movies driven by presidents or mafia mobs, which even tho it may not be the case anymore due to these car being affordable nowadays, still holds true perceptually in the common mind, which are all qualities btw that other women will find attractive rich/dark triad type, and your woman knows it, she doesn't give a f about the car, it might even prop a little bit her ego to be with a guy who doesn't drive some broke ass shevy but overall it's just another form of mate guarding from her part.
she hates it becuase it has a masculine design. The strong boxy look is too much for her feminism
Let me tell you, you two are someone in this car. Another random car, you are no-one.
W140 ☠️🔥🌹✅💯🔥☠️ Pride of Western civilization
Brilliant review. It’s a lot of quality car for $5,000.
Thank you!
I think the 36mm looks better. Lug to lug aside, it doesn't look like a dinner plate. I have a ref. 177 and love it. If it had a slightly dome crystal and inner AR it would be perfect. But Nomos told me that would mess with how the dial plays with the light. I am guessing they are right. The reflection sucks, but its a dress watch so functionality is not priority. I would recommend, for the sake of the watch please avoid adjusting on wrist. Good way to bend the stem. Rubbing the cases together is also a good way to break in the mirror surfaces. My OCD kicked in hearing the cases and sapphire glass clicking together.
Consensus seems to be on the 36mm. Care was taken while adjusting on the wrist, but noted- thanks for your note.
Have had my 400SEL since 2013. The previous owner spent a fortune on it. I have spent a small fortune on it. Fortunately have a mechanic whom was trained on engineering the W140's to fix it and do repairs without being completely exploited. In saying that its now in the best mechanical condition I have ever experienced. On the M1 highway it cruises like sitting in 1st Class on a Boeing air-jet and is moderate on fuel consumption. Before it use to drink like a camel. Drive it only on Sundays for 2hrs. Everything works on it now. Its unique, masterly engineered and superior in comfort and way more affordable than its really worth on the market. The equivalent in todays market I'd need 200k to spend or more for anything similar. Its priced on the market today 24k. So in a sense its the most advanced cheapest luxury vehicle today. Nothing else is comparable in my opinion. 0-90 klm is really an experience. Like a Top Gun take off. 90-180klm it monsters and you feel like the car is sitting on 110klm in a leather sofa. The vehicle is underestimated and a beast on the road.
At least your expenses were amortized over the years- there's really nothing else like it.
She just hasn’t seen the right one
Your presentation is really totally unique and irresistible…❤ No question, it is my dream car as well! And my wife does not like it either…
👍😊👋 👍😊👋 👍😊👋
Excellent coverage of a most excellent car…!
Thank you!
He bought a W140, she married a W140, but 05:54 she'd prefer something sexy.
🤔
You guys are great. A tank is better looking. Haaa.
5:57 00F he felt that 😅
They seem to forget it had so many options for the 90's
Because she is ignorant and arrogant and shouldn't be asked anything.
My wife is quite the opposite! I had a 500SEL along with SL500 & C32 AMG when we met 10 years ago which I had to sell because we had a kids and they were not efficient or reliable as they were worn down. I purchased all three again years later cleaner and last year models well maintained examples not as daily cars though. My wife doesn't care much for the SL or the AMG but S500 its like her other child, she's constantly bugging me to clean it go wash it and take it out on our date nights! She loves it and when we retire she wants to travel the country in it!
Touring the country in an S500 sounds like perfection; I'm hoping to do so someday in my 1994 S600 Coupe.
08:49 I really loveed her laugh ❤
Ask your wife what she likes and why she likes the car.
She likes cars for their personalities-it's all about emotion, design, and a sense of identity.
I love the car just as much as he does. The older ones were the better which is the one your driving.
I need your TikTok account please.. you are very interesting ❤❤❤
Anytime a woman sees a man happy about something, she has to immediately put a stop to that nonsense.
Hasn’t been my experience remotely- are you projecting?
The Best car Ever!!!! I want to buy one!!!
Das Mercedes ist nicht ein Frauen auto! Except her name is Helga or Gertrude!
It’s a masculine car. I can understand why women may not find it appealing. I love big, imposing cars and this was it for me. I own a 1996 S420, a 1999 S500 and a 1998 S500 stretch limo. I just love the quality, fit and finish of these cars.
Break out those divorce papers, brother! The W140 is just a masterpiece on every level. Good for you for buying it. AMAZING vehicle!
Love W140 ❤❤❤❤ 💔🥺💔😭😭😭😭 I Loved the cars world because of it ❤
Best car in my opinion ❤❤❤❤
I’m laughing right now because every thing you said about the car mirrors my thoughts and yet I also have the same opinions as your female companion. Not just that but I own a 92 400SE in smoke silver. Have had it for 3 months and it’s awesome! Just be prepared to do your own repairs.
It's a man's car. My wife hates it. She wants me to sell it it's 1995 s class six cillinder only 60 thousand miles on it. It run like a Swiss watch. I paid 11 thousand for it 5years ago . What would you do.
the best or nothing
So much alike to my case. lol
divorce her MAN

You 2 rock ! Well done 👍
5000???!!!!!!!
after looking at her barnet and the coat that looked like its been attacked by Zorro I'm not surprised she doesn't like it
The guy completely gets it. The wife looks like she is just purely anti-German and bias from the get-go. My Viet wife, who has no clue about politics, absolutely loved this car when I first brought it home and then took her for a ride. Even went so far as to say it was better than her friend's Lexus. There you go.
My wife is half Asian and half German/Scotch-Irish; what does race have to do with it?
@@BasemWasef That's it, turn it into a race argument. What an idiotic statement. Some people just don't like products produced in certain parts of the world. Don't overthink it and turn it into a race/victimhood thing. I personally prefer cars made in Japan over the USA for example. Doesn't make me racist.
@@tomb8430 Calm down, there’s no “race thing” or “victimization” here; I was merely responding to your talk of “anti-German” this and “Viet” that. Why did you mention your wife’s ethnicity if it’s irrelevant? There you go.
i dont know.. but i love em,... even if she doesnt
When I drive my W140, I know that 9/10 cars that drive by cost more than mine. However what overpowers that is that 9/10 cars I drive by are less important than mine. That's what keeps that grin on my face while I slowly roll around a corner, hearing the gravel crackle under my Monoblocks.
A tank is prettier,there she admitted it 6:52
