Everybody loves a bit of a bargain, especially when it comes to watches. You see people online casually talking about watches priced like a well-spec’d 3-series and it makes you feel as though you’re on a different planet. But luxury watches don’t have to cost tens of thousands-you can get a handsome timepiece on your wrist for way less than that. So, here are three affordable alternatives to expensive chronographs that just might be up your street.
Featured Watches:
Frederique Constant Flyback Chronograph Maufacture FC-760V4H4
Oris ChronOris 673 7739 40 34 LS

I'd love a video on the Flieger watches offered by Laco, Stowa, IWC, etc. They don't get enough love compared to divers and chronos.

Oh man I'd love that too, I'm currently considering if the premium on the IWC is worth it over the Laco before pulling the trigger on either :)

Given current limb values, I wish to thank FC for saving my kidney.
Ah FC is such an underrated brand! They’ve really invested in their watches and their in-house movements. I would put their higher tier watches in the same category as Oris, Longines, etc.

I’ve had one for 2 years now, slate grey dial, an absolutely lovely watch to say the least! The pushers feel fantastic, the box crystal gives it a nice vintage feel. The only complaints that I have about the F-760 are its case-size, at 42 mm I have been giving less and less wrist time since I got my BB58 earlier this year, and the date sub-dial at 6... gives the dial a slightly crowded look. Other than that, fantastic watch, much bang for the buck.
That FC is stunning. Your video certainly does it justice! Speaking of low(er) cost chronos, I'd love to see what your camera work would make of a Tudor Black Bay Chrono S&G.
Frederique Constant is a good brand. I just don't understand why they don't offer something under 40 mm. The size really puts me off.

I think under 40 is to small for a Chrono, on a normal sized Wrist. Even most Patek Chronos are a like 41.
Glad FC is getting some positive coverage, I always thought they offer great bang for the buck. I have several Omegas a Rolex and Tudor and I still wear my Peking to Paris FC as part of my rotation!
Great Video as always. I would be happy to see more often Oris watches in your video. Someone here suggested to make a video about Pilot/Flieger watches. If you intend to do so, please add the Oris Big Crown ProPilot Big Date.
It's great when you promote a watch that can't be found on the market, good luck in finding that Tudor
Excellent video.....and that FC looks amazing!!
That Frederique Constant is gorgeous. They deserve a lot more credit for making a classical sensibility in watches more accessible to everyone!

I love and enjoy your eloquent commentary.

Another good video.....thank you. Can you please do one on the Zenith Doublematic.
Thanks for another fantastic video. Btw, I meant to ask for sometime now, why wear your straps backwards?
Entertaining, educational, amusing. Your videos are a cut above all others. The Tudor is striking.
This is my favourite episode so far 👍🏼👍🏼
Excellent video,these are the prices I like to hear.Something from Chopard and Sinn for a 2 watch system on a budget please.
Great video to end the week. I'd enjoy a video on luxury 38mm and under watches. Doesn't matter about diver, chrono, dress etc.
Thanks! FC are amazing I have the Slimline Moonphase it is a great value for money. And you are so right on movie-trailer, I see them and goes "OK here is another movie I do not need to go and see"...
Great vid, But good luck finding one of those Copper dial Tudors. Especially for under 4K.
Could you look at doing a video of some two tone watches. I can't help thinking that they're looked down on somewhat when compared to steel models. I'm looking at a two tone submariner black but am intrigued as to why they deprecate when compared to their counterparts when (in my view) they're stunning watches.
How do you make these videos a masterpiece every single time!?
Baltic’s bicompax chronos are great value, too. I was lucky enough to get the balticxwornandwound LE and can confirm that it goes well with pink shorts and linen shirts!
The frederique constant looks like an old Lings I have. same style pushers and only difference the lings is manual wind

Hi... I'm really interested in the Glashütte Original Vintage Seventies Panorama series... I'd love to see a review one this
That tudor salmon dial is one of the most beautiful executions of a sunburst dial I have ever seen.
Thank you for teaching me about watches bro am I love with watches because now I can appreciate the watches 😉
That Tudor is stunning.
Frederique Constant is a good brand, i like to think they are on the same level as Tag Heuer, i own 3 models now
Ordered the Seiko solar from MACY'S, it arrived without the instruction book?
Great video btw
Please feature the Tissot Seastar 2000 Professional.
The Omega DeVille co-axial chronograph PREOWNED belongs on this list as well.
Can not find this model on the Tudo site and how BIG is it???
Can you make a video on bulova accutron
That Constant is a fine looking chrono. Seems Mr. Watchfinder spent some extra time on the script, to wonderful effect.
Masterfully spoken.
This video is incorrect: the Speedmaster of 1957 and its variants are the first version of the Speedmaster, with the Speedmaster Pro, housed in a new larger case in 1963/64 being the second version. The Speedmaster Mark II is the third version of the Speedmaster.
Wait, not available in the uk?
Can u do FC world timer?
Yeah I know this Stinks but I'm so rich my shoes are made of an animal you haven't even heard off! Brilliant line!
This video made me take my Tudor Prince Date chronograph on a leather strap out of the market, thanks! Not selling it any more.
Looks like the Tudor is running a valjoux 7750?

The tudor big block has always been a great watch for the money. And looks a lot better then most of tudors current models.
I have a Rolex watch that I can’t figure out the model. It looks like the vintage prince models but can’t be sure. How to find out this?
Does anyone know the name of the background song?
I like the Tudor that looks like a Rolex Daytona and I like the Frederic Constant with its transparent case back.
The tudor is priced at what a daytone should cost

The problem is that GS chronographs are way too big and thiccc. In some cases it needs to be big enough for all 3 subdials, a date, a power reserve indicator and a GMT hand, which then translates to a diameter of 44.5mm and a 17mm thick case, because the movement is humongous, has a 3-day power reserve and is automatic. Maybe in the future, with the new batch of updated spring drive movements, they can reduce the dimensions of both case and movement, but at the moment it's for the large-wristed enthusiasts.

DutchClawz I bought a non date sub off the shelf for £2250 in ‘06. If you index link it, today it should cost £32250, say +£1000 for improvements. Now it’s about £6k. Rolex aren’t worth the money they’re priced now.
You need to cover the monolithic manufacture.
I’m in love with the Oris ChronOris! 😎💨
I honestly thought the Frederique Constant was a Patek that was an example of an expensive chronograph
Tudor Prince date chrono looks pretty
A very nice three piece combo meal deal hunger buster.
That Frederique Constant Flyback Chronograph Manufacture is a total steal for £2'000
