Thank you for being so motivated to make these videos and educate young and old enthusiasts about affordable to mid level luxury time pieces. Keep up the precision work my friend!

you’ve helped me so much with my watch knowledge and collection, thank u and keep it up!

Based on this video, I bought SARB033, SARB017, Tissot Visodate and Hamilton Khaki Field King Auto back in 2020. The Best buys I have ever made. Thank you!

I've always enjoyed watches but you made me really love them, thank you!

I really appreciate your videos man. It's really gotten me to appreciate watches. I ended up picking up a Seiko SKX 007 from one of your videos a while back and have loved it.

I hope you'll get to review the new Seiko Turtle. Keep up the great work!

Bought the Seiko alpinist largely based on your review and am extremely pleased. Put it on a colareb also largely from your review. Love it. Keep up the great work, really enjoy your channel.

I'm just myself starting to get into watches and my wow that Seiko SARB017 is beautiful. That green is awesome and pops out just enough. great review!

This is the first video I have ever seen from your channel while surfing KZread and I instantly took a liking! I love your videos because you are so passionate and humble. You've turned me on a lot of my choice of brands - especially Seiko. I'm hoping to get a domestic model when I go to Japan next year. Wishing you much luck and good fortune!

Wow, what a list! And I own the SARB017 since almost a year. Saving for my 2nd watch, preferably an Explorer.

Had my Alpinist two years now.. Love it for its versatility & style... Even with a business suit it becomes a feature rather than an accesssory.... It looks equally good outdoors in the Lakes, the Peak District & Snowdonia.. and with a good tan leather strap and wear ? .. it acquires a patina and provenence...A definite classic...

I watched this video today. I'm simply amazed at how accurate your fans are at choosing 10 popular watches. There seems to be at least one of these watches in someone's collection. Well done, People!

Great video. It's a ready-made shopping list! Will definitely look to get an SRP777 and a SARB033/035 soon.

Awesome! Thanks so much for this one. I'm torn between the Aplinist and the SARB 033 and had no idea these two would be in this review. Always a hard decision but I love the research.

Just bought a tissot seastar 1000 powermatic 80! My first swiss watch and I'm so excited to get it.

Impossible to beat the SARB line at this price range, great video TGV and thank you so much for showing me shuch great watches. Best regards.

Funny enough, just before this video came yesterday, I wrote to you offering my SRP775, and Hamilton Khaki Mechanical for review.

Great Video! Looks like Seiko Rules this Price Point....lol. I just got into Horology and started my Collection about a month ago. Watching your Videos has been a great source of information and inspiration. I now have a SKX 009 on my Christmas List.

Love your videos and enthusiasm. Keep it up!

I fell in love with the alpinist ever since I first saw it, such a gorgeous watch.

lol just when i want to find an automatic watch, this video comes. Thanks man

Fantastic and varied list. I am happy to own two of these (SKX007 and SARB033.) I completely agree that the SARB033 on a black croc strap really classes it up. It is a gorgeous, reliable watch with so many great features at such a reasonable price point. Great video, thanks for your insight!

"If I cared what people think, I wouldn't be on KZread" Love it

This is a great list... I like that he takes sizes into account too. I don't like the oversized watches.

Love the channel I am new to this but I have definitely taken to the hobby, thanks!

I have the SRP775J1 and an SKX009K2. Out of the two, the Turtle is most definitely my favorite and I'm blown away by the accuracy of mine. Over 11 days of constant wear it only lost ONE second total. When the light hits the dial, the gold hands and bubbly lume come to life and it's just awesome to look at. Definitely one of my better watch purchases!

ordered a alpinist last night can't wait

I'm not a watch aficionado, yet I've watched your videos from time to time. I must say that your videos bring this art to life, and it's great to see that passion! This price point has always been my preference. I have another expensive Hobby, so I 've been searching for quality timepiece that is affordable, yet classic, elegant, attractive, reliable and from a respectable brand. I've always looked to Seiko to fit this criteria and price point. The #1 black Seiko is pretty close to what envisioned. It looks gorgeous! I agree that black face on this model is better than white. Thank for the recommendation! Keep up the great work with your videos.

Watching while wearing Sarb033 after your recommendation, I love it after 2 weeks of ownership.

TGV do not be disheartened by the 44.3mm size of the Turtle! I got the very one you spoke about in this video about 3 weeks ago, and I am someone who, like you, considers anything about 38/40mm a bit much. But i can assure you it wears like a 40mm and is by far the most comfortable watch I have ever worn. A definite keeper in my collection. I would highly recommend getting one in for review, if i was in the US i would send you mine!! As always keep up the good work sir! Your content is impeccable.

The Alpinist fans are massive. I do like the green but if I'm mountaineering which I did plenty of, I wore a Tissot T-Touch. Sure it's a Quartz but having altitude and a thermometer were awesome attached to your gear. Especially for a Medic who actually served under Schwarzkopf. I did buy a SARB065, but that band is junk. We will see if I fall in love, if not I'll revert to a Hami or a Tissot Visodate.

Thank you for the video (and your channel in general)! It is nice to see how Seiko dominates the sub 500$ category of mechanical watches, as they are really solid quality for the money you spent. Feels to me, like the Japanese take as much pride in buildig "cheaper" watches. One Addition I would make to the list is the Junghans Max Bill Automatik, which can be picked up used (ebay?) for around 500$ and is a true classic. Keep up the good work, Sir!

Just picked up a sarb033 and love it. Put it on a jubilee bracelet. So glad I bought it when I did because it's very difficult to find now.

I got the Tissot Heritage Visodate and i absolutely love it!

Your video last year on the Seiko Sarb017 made me buy one ha. Love that watch.

Long ISland Watch in New York has had some in since being discontinued. Price went from around $489 when I purchased mine to $549. Before the announcement of being discontine could be had for less than $400 back in January 2018.

Have had the Sarb033 for a couple months now - looks incredible with a black/grey Nato strap.

Great review thanks TGV. Love the Seiko Alpinist with the green and gold, that would be a must buy for me when I have enough to purchase one. Like previous comments on this review am quite surprised about no Orient watches in the top ten, I own three of them, one being an Orient 3 star which is very reliable as an everyday watch and quite accurate and I also own two Orient Neo 70's Panda solar powered watches which I really love and wear often. One of them has a green dial with gold indices like the Alpinist you reviewed and I have comments quite often on this watch so perhaps green is a winner with a lot of people, I have to admit I prefer my green Orient over the Cream and black dial of the other Orient. Keep up the good work.

So glad I picked up an SKX009J1 while it was still available. It's my most often worn piece to date.

And if could just tell me Do you think a Movado watch is worth it? I saw one at a deep discount at my jewellery store and was between a Tissot Le lecole, Hamilton Khaki and the Movado Cheers

Great video! Absolutely love this price range, I think it's the "common sense" price range, LOL. I'm considering the Turtle as well. I've heard that if you can wear the SKX you can wear the Turtle with no problem and this applies also to the Marinemaster and to the Grand Seiko Diver which are both big 44/45mm watches but somehow they wear much much smaller. I'd also add the Steinhart titanium 500, the one you reviewed. I had no experience at all but it's so fascinating to me... By the way, thank you very much! Best regards, Michele.

We need an update video, with an update list of this kind of watches. Please

bought a bulova accu-swiss black chronograph for $300, and i love it. incredible bang for your buck.

Great list, thanks! IMHO, the Orient Mako USA II tops the Seiko SKX. Keep up the good work!

Hamilton khaki is my first swiss watch. I love it to death. Functional, beautiful, and hopefully it will last for years.

I own 5 of the 6 Seikos on the list. Seiko was my first watch buy in 1982 is still my favorite watchmakers. No accident that Seiko JDM’s dominate. Great heritage, design and manufacturing surviving the test of time and changing fashions.

Thank you TGV. I am quite sure I will own a Hamilton Khaki at some point. I have always liked them. The SARBs are also such great watches... Cheers!

Very nice selection of watches. Junkers has also some very very nice watches in this price range.Best regards:)

A friend of mine has a cream dial Alpinist, he's not a collector (of watches at least), so it's his everyday beater. And the first time I saw it I was absolutely in awe of how absolutely gorgeous it is. I'm not a Seiko expert, so I didn't know much about that model. And when I saw it I estimated it to be a $2-3 grand at least based on the details and finishing on the dial. He did however have to pay close to $900 for it iirc. But it is a really nice piece. I might have to get one myself, I kinda like the green dial as well. Sad thing is that I now have acquired myself a chipped and infected tooth, which probably is gonna end up costing me close to Alpinist money to get fixed.

Thank you for another great video. Any chance to review Longines L2.673.4.78.3?. I really would like to watch your take on this piece. Have a great one!

Youre the man! Love your vids! How big is your wrist? Mine are right on 7 inches. Is the skx007 too big you think?

Hello Everyone here is another huge fan of the Seiko Turtle, its another one of those watches capable of wearing in such a surprising and unexpected way... much like the Monster only this watch somehow defies its size on the wrist. I guess it has a low centre of gravity it just hugs you and that cushion case with 4 o'clock crown there is nothing to dig into your wrist at all...There is a real good reason why its design didn't change much from the original 6309..cause it was just so bang on!!!
