    This was a fun episode, but I felt that GB could have tried harder. Nothing wrong with G-Shock, but there are a dozen Seikos I would have opted for above the Frogman. Adrian made some great choices, and had that 'seaweed' Seamaster not have been available, he would have won it for me. But that £5k price bracket is the Goldilocks range and probably had the best selection of readily available watches for the general public.

    I think Squale is a decent Italian owned watch company. They have great history and they crossed path with many important brands like Heuer, Doxa and blancpain.They changed direction now and stopped doing homages and they have been focusing a lot more on their heritage models. I thinks they offer great value for money products. My 1521 wear fantastically to be a 50atmos diver and imo looks stunning.

    6:51 this explanation of the connection is for Adrian: So there's this thing called Mario Kart. It's a video game whereby Mario and several other video game characters from the Nintendo universe race against each other in various karts and race tracks. Tag Heur is an iconic watch brand renowned for deep ties in racing history (this where lines like the carerra or the autavia drew their design inspiration from...think of Tag's tachymeter scales and how popular they became with racers at the time). Jack Heuer even took the name from the Carrera Panamericana road race, a border-to-border race staged in Mexico, from 1950 to 1954. As you can see by now, Tag Heur's brand is synonymous with car racing history just as the game Mario Kart is a racing game by its very nature. Hope youre able to make that connection now 😀

My favourite from JLC, very tempted…..4/ I’m a fan of G-Shock, but under 1k diver would’ve gone Seiko. Maybe Seiko Samurai (SRPH61K1). Looking forward to the next episode

It's that personal experience where a company goes out of their way to make a customer feel welcome that creates life-long clients. It's moments like that make one want to support a company. Looking through their website now, I've definitely added them to my list of brands to watch (no pun intended lol ).

    Great episode guys! It was a really well documented journey. I think Capt Boring found the winner with the Polaris but I can’t believe there is a 7 month waiting period for this at the time of filming! I picked up my JLC green Polaris back in October and pretty much haven’t taken it off since. It is an absolutely stunning watch in person and much like the Omega green Seamaster the press shots don”t do it justice. You guys are right on about the customer service at Omega though, from my experience they really do go above and beyond.

    The blue and white PloProf is cheaper than the Ultra Deep - £10,160. If Adrian wanted to stay within budget in the Omega boutique he should have gone for the Planet Ocean Chronograph, which is the same size case as the Ultra Deep (but thinner?) and £7,800. It definitely has presence! George could have had a Zodiac Super Sea Wolf on rubber for his £1k.

    In all fairness to George, this challenge isn't to find any good diver under 1k, but to find one that commonly retails in brick and mortar stores in London, which rules out all the lovely interesting microbrand divers (Zelos, Halios, CWard, Yema) that sell online. You're really just stuck with Seiko or a G-shock, which limits the possibility of getting something more interesting/"non-boring".

    George Bamford can not be out of touch with the "real" watch world, even if he wanted to! He owns a watch company, he's been in the industry for many years, even in this episode his BYOI was Mr.Jones (with prices in the "real" watch world tier that you've mentioned) so I don't agree with you about George at all. He's actually a very cool and down to earth guy. And I agree with you that in this episode Andrew was much better with his choices and overall I think he was the winner.
