10:22 Yay I made it on your video! Quick update, I was walking past my local AD (in the UK this time, not abroad) and they had a GMT Master II "Zombie" in the window for sale, so I bought it! I've been in the market for a GMT Master II for a while now so this made my day. This was alongside the usual Datejust and Sky-Dweller pieces they also had.

Britt, the Patek 5212 is NOT an annual calendar, but a weekly calendar. You have to manually adjust it for all months with fewer than 31 days (which is why it has a date quickset at the crown, as opposed to the date adjustment pusher that the Patek annual calendars use).

Great video as always but I have to say I have particularly loved this one, I own a Seiko skx009j1 that obviously cannot be missed in a watch collection, a seiko slim turtle SPB317J1 black dial that I just bought literally two days ago which I wear operationally at work and I intend to use it also on holiday on the beach, and then I have a Tudor black bay 36 black dial ,the old version, the one you made a video comparison of, I consider the BB36 a real jewel it’s simply perfect and as you said a valid option to the op without being worried of being around with a Rolex, I wear the Tudor on holiday in the evening or if I am not on the beach and in my week ends off. I am after a Tudor royal 41 blue which will be my next purchase. My dream watch to complete more my collection would be a Rolex date just two tones champagne dial as the one shown in this video but it’s too expensive I definitively cannot afford it but I am happy anyway Xx

It’s nice to see Hamilton get some love. I’ve been a big fan of Hamilton for years, and even though my collection has moved on from its origins of micro brands and entry lux models, I still have a Hamilton that gets regular wear. In my case, I have a bigger wrist, so I have a Hamilton Khaki Field Far Cry LE, 42mm, but titanium, so it’s super light and easy to wear on a NATO because it’s not very thick, a great summer watch with a low enough profile and the ruggedness to wear while doing just about anything. Rolex, Omega, Nomos, Seiko, they’re all great, but Hamilton has a special place in my heart as well. I have a huge sentimental connection to Omega because my grandfather had one, but Hamilton worked its way in the old fashioned way, by just being really good for the money you pay and having cool designs with some history behind them.

Seiko 5 was my frist, and frankly the next price up for me would be the Longines Spirit and going for the Rolex just does not justify the price in my view.

I’ve had my blue Seamaster and Moonwatch for 3 years. I don’t regret buying them. I still enjoy wearing them, so in my opinion it was money well spent.

Love Christopher Ward! Can't wait for your review of the CW Twelve X Ti, what a beauty!

My seiko SKX 175 was $125 USD 25 years ago, big bucks then.

Of all these watches, the Steamboat Willie Concept is my favourite. So much fun. I can’t afford it, and my wife would kill me if I could, but it costs nothing to window shop. Thanks Brittney.

I think the Datejust with the bezel, Roman numerals and the jubilee bracelet is the perfect Rolex.

Love my tudor black bay 41 , only regret is not spending more and getting the red master version instead of saving the few hundreds for black and blue version.

My favorite Nomos is the Nomos Homeroom. Don’t get mad Brit, you can be a minimalist and cherish plain. I am just razzing you. I am of Italian descent, and we prefer dazzling.

I have the presage cocktail dial…. One of my fav watches and still wear it a ton nearly 3 years later.

The Reverso is definitely sportier than the Cartier Tank. The Roman numerals and the crown with the cabochon of the Cartier are particularly dressy - but you can wear it with a T-Shirt too, for contrast 😅

Hi Britt, what about Longines? IWC? Lange? Cheers Pete 🙂

Kinda both surprised and not surprised at the lack of Tissot here... I think I'd agree with leaving Tissot out because they're in a similar price range to Hamilton, but Hamilton has the better range of watches. But with that being said, my first "decent" watch was my PRX chrono, which I absolutely do not regret buying, and I think Tissot (particularly with the PRX and Gentleman series) is a good kind of 'gateway brand' into Swiss watch buying/collecting.

My Omega Seamaster Professional is and has been my everyday worn watch and I never have regretted buying it. My Speedy Moonwatch was a nice buy, but it is a safe queen for my son.

I don't regret buying any of my watches but, in particular, I don’t regret my Explorer 1 36mm or my Aqua Terra 38mm blue dial. Personally, I’d add a quartz Cartier at the £3-4K range, Tank or Santos because, like, it’s Cartier innit?! I’d rather get a Vacheron Overseas Dual Time to a Patek but that’s never going to happen unless I win the lottery.

I have never regretted buying any of my watches. The only one time I sold two of my watches because of my vision problems. I only sold two watches in my life the Grand Seiko SBGJ261 and the JLC Polaris World Time Chronograph. I sold them because I couldn’t see the 24 hours numbers and the country reference respectively. I only buy watches on achievement (graduations, promotions and big bonuses) and only buy the ones I love. I don’t regret buying them, I keep all my Rolex, Patek, Grand Seiko except for one, omegas, Breguet and Journe.

The one thing that gets me about Tudor is the gap on their dials between the minute track and the edge of the dial so they can put swiss made on the outside instead of integrated into, or inside, the minute track. It triggers something in my brain and I just don't like it.

I fluctuate between the Patek Calatrave 5196G 37mm in white gold and the Lange Saxonia thin @ 37mm as my ultimate "Posh" watch for special occasions.

How do you feel about purchasing Vintage? I never purchased a Carier Roadster , always wanted one. Tourneau has a few. Should I purchase or buy another newer style? I am anxious about purchasing a 15 yr old watch.

I've just realised that with all the watch reviewers I watch, I think you have the most similiar taste to me!! Or me to you. Whichever way you like to look at it. And Jenni Elle... Girl power!! And then probably Adrian Barker. All the rest I find I get bored because they get excited over watches I don't. So, for me, great work!!

For Seiko, the Sarb was a classic. Unfortunately it was discontinued. Seiko needs to hold on to their affordable legends and this will make the brand so much stronger. Large brands stay strong by having legacy pieces.

I bought a GMT, 16710 back in 2003. Loved it but as I got older got less inspired to wear it due to the muggings etc. So sold it last year for nearly 10k. Bought myself a Planet Ocean, 002 with the orange bezel. So much better! Far more accurate, astonishing in fact. So much better made, no jangly bracelet, milled clasp with on the fly adjustment. No comparison if you ask me.

Yessssss. When you Nomos, you Nomos.

Love to get a GS someday.

Im curious to know what people make (individual & household) and what their pain threshold is for a watch. I’m $90K/200K USD and pain threshold is $4K. I’m trying to get the nerve for $7-8K watch. Since I also love handbags and jewelry, I gotta pick my battles

Well, if I could, I would get a Tank Louis from Cartier. It may not be automatic or whatever, but it’s soooo pretty ! (Yes, that matters more to me than the movement, so sue me 😉).

What is currently motivating me to do really well with the business I am for the next couple of years is getting a Patek 7118 which would fit my wrist perfectly even though it’s marketed as a lady’s watch.

My Omega boutique calls me the other day to offer me a white speedmaster. Except i was going to be out of town when it came in. That meant i either had to buy the watch without seeing it in person or pass. I ended up passing. I can't spend that kind of money without seeing the watch in person. How do you feel about buying luxury timepieces without looking at it first?

Cartier Santos? Tank Louis?? AP Royal Oak?

I’m surprised more people arnt talking about Monta watches. They are amazing

Breitling and Panerai are my favourite, I hate the hype brands…

I have always been a fan of the Grand Seiko Lineup for their Spring Drive mouvement, the Smooth sailing second hands was drawing me. Ended up buying a Frederique Constant Monolithic, FC-810 Model, Might not be on the same level as the G Seiko, but is able to achieve basically the same without the aids or Quartz power.

Nice vid. I've become a big Tudor Fan. Rolex designs from the 90s, aluminium bezels, with amazing build quality just as good as my Submariner. I dont wear it though, Probably because I keep buying Tudors, first the Bb58 blue, I know you like that one 😊, the reverse panda chronograph love this one it's a man's watch, love it and I've just added an SG Black Bay today even the gold is brushed, less in your face and I love love love the bezel. The only Rolex I'm going to buy is a Deepsea from about 2015 with 44mm of chunky awesomeness I'll trade the Sub for it. For me Tudor is every bit as good as Rolex. Less flashy but mechanically same gravy.

Need Longines on the list too, Zulu, big eye, legend diver, or their UltraCron. I was with a friend a few days ago who bought a Cartier Tank, and In terms of presentation and box you get more from Longines, but both good watches. Also, Omega Planet Ocean for me, and yes a Speedy, and their Chronoscope is gorgeous!!!

ive bought a few Tudors, a grand seiko, a speedmaster, tag Monaco. exchanged or sold them all over time, didnt really like them and bought my first rolex explorer 216570 polar. should of got this to start with. fab watch! my biggest regret was and still is not buying a brand new omega seamaster 600 ceramic planet ocean reduced by 40% in a recent sale, sold out the next day when I finally had the funds available!
