Your American accent was spot on. You guys owe me a beer since I sprayed mine all over my computer...:P
You're only meant to spray on your computer while watching Archie's adventures in Bangkok 🤣
I’ll suggest the Timex Q chronograph over the Invicta as a cheap Daytona alternative
Agreed
I like that one. The Swatch Night Flight has caught my eye recently as a less expensive alternative. It's Swiss and not a knock-off like the Invicta.
I miss the b-roll, memes, and microphones. It made the verbal comedy land better
Gentlemen- First Thank you for such great videos. I thoroughly enjoy them. Second, I found the reasons why they call the Casio Duro a Duro... It's a reference to the two mines where Casio procures its quartz crystals from. Duros come from the Duro mine, Marlins from the Marlin mine.
I didn't Know That? I appreciate the Info?
I miss the talking hands
Haha. I was just thinking that!
And amazing capture of detail on watches
Me two I didn’t sign up to see his face 😂😂😂😂 it takes away some of the mystique😂😂😂😂😂.
Nico told him to reveal himself. Sadly he's in thrall to that gobshite!
@@trethatdudeand the really nice music.
The Pagani Design PD 1701 is a much better cheap replacement for the Omega speed master.
I prefer my Speedmaster.
Agreed, I have one, Seiko movement too.
A lot of these recommendations were pretty terrible.
Pass. PD is a straight up rip-off, not something styled after originals.
@@johninNJyeah, but it's $55.
I miss the microphone avatars. Made it so much fun to watch
It’s like the Mandolorian when he took his mask off, just wasn’t the same. Bring back taking hands and the guest mics. So original.
The Fossil thingy was not a Chronograph. It was a watch with calender function :)
I love it when Tom speaks American!
That Invicta looks *horrible* - I know this is cheapest, but surely you could get a much nicer Seiko Daytonalike and not feel too much out of pocket.
Vario has made a Reverso homage that actually has 2 dials / movements, and actually does flip around! Pretty neat one from them
Hi guys, for the A. Lange I would go with the Tissot Courturie, Rotary does make a reverso clone (at least they used to) that does reverse to show a second watch.
I’m pretty impressed with the Herbelin. Not cheap at $900, but not a bad option, especially since I haven’t quite saved up the scratch for a Cartier yet.
Herbelin are pretty decent for the price and yeah not cheap,but a recognised brand in my opinion.
I’d take a pagani design over that invicta
Forget the invicata daytona homage. Parnis do one with sapphire, Seiko Meccaquartz movement, screwdown pushers and a top-notch bracelet. Picked mine up for sixty quid.
Pagani as well.
Congrats for the milli and thank you for the content
Pagani Design makes a much better Daytona homage for a lot less than that Invicta. Sapphire crystal, ceramic bezel, stainless case, $60ish USD.
The SPINNAKER FLEUSS AUTOMATIC OXBLOOD RED is the watch that I like the most here. The new Casio Duro now unfortunately is made without the swordfish on the dial and on the back. Which robs it of a special feature.
The fossil watch u compared with omega speedmaster isn’t a chronograph 😑
I would have picked the Laco Aachen as a cheaper alternative to the IWC.
.How are you supposed to read the minutes subdial on that Lorus? Practically it's only a 60 second chronograph.
I love Tom's American accent
That fossil is… not a chrono in the photo you are showing.
May daily is a Pagani white dial blakc bezel Daytona. I can't actually read the subdials to save my life. Such a lovely look and comfort, though. And Megaquartz. Paid €55 or so, shipped.
For the JLC reverso the vario versa I saw from Just One More Watch was a true reversing quartz watch and many people in the comments seemed to love it for somewhere in the 4-500 dollar (usd) range.
Seiko has alternatives for most of the watches mentioned here. For instance, SBTR021 for Speedmaster/Daytona, SNZH55 for Blancpain, SKX033 for the Submariner (minus the green bezel), and SNXJ for the Datejust.
Seiko is quickly moving into "overpriced" for their features. Seikos entire claim to fame and grandeur was their cost effectiveness. 800$ for an skx is not it. The cheapest Seiko mechanical diver is 270$, features a mineral glass crystal, the same cheap mass produced malaysian made nh-35, hollow end links, horrible case finishing, resilient and beautiful painted aluminum bezel insert that is about as durable as a couple sheets of foil, and of course... features the god awful "5" logo 😂. Its getting more and more difficult to recommend seiko with a straight face. The watches you mentioned are fine, not ragging on them. The SBTR is definitely a good shout 👌
Rolex looks are so old that all Seikos Timexes, Tudors etc etc have re-issueed them in industrial quantities, so everyone got truly tired even looking at them.
I'll suggest the Lobinni micro-rotor for the AL&S and the Vario Versa for the Reverso
You guys really missed the mark on the Speedmaster. The Fossil Bannon isn't even a chronograph.
The Fossil watch appears not to be a chronograph.
If you really desire a particular watch you’ll realise soon enough there isn’t an ‘alternative’ at all. Been there done it.
The steinheart is actually wonderful
If you're going to feature an Invicta, you might as well use Pagani Design... at least the Pagani has decent specifications
..and a better price point. My PD1644 was £33 incl.shipping and taxes. Ridiculously cheap for such a well specced watch..
The Invicta Speedway is clearly a great homage, even in the name : the circuit the Daytona is named after is the "Daytona International Speedway". Nice little detail !
That Fossil isnt a chronograph
The Seiko SRPE lineup seems to be very similar to the Tudor Black Bay 36.
What the--- I was fine with all the Seiko's and Casio's because those are killer... But Invicta? Stop. Just Stop.
Invicta is good for the price.
You don't have to buy one, you know.
You could have saved a lot more by taking the 'homage' route more often. For example: Steeldive SD1953 @ £60(ish) as a "Sub" alternative, Pagani Design PD1701 @ £70(ish) as a Speedmaster alternative, Pagani Design PD1644 @ £40(ish) as a "Daytona" alternative - all depending on sellers and whether there's a sale in progress. Love them or loathe them they do tend to have decent specs and Seiko movements...
I recently dipped into the murky waters of Chinese watchmaking ordered a Boderry explorer knock off but skeletonized and a Suggess H Moser Funky Blue chronograph homage with Glasshute numerals which I was really looking forward to seeing but doesn’t look like it’s actually going to ship and I’ll have to chargeback the payment
I found a patek nautilus alternative
In India the watch is sold by lee cooper and is priced ₹15k
Vario Versa is a line of reversible square shaped watch for $400 I believe.
That was fun. I actually have that Lorus "Monaco" and I do quite like it. No NATO strap, but I put a perforated leather strap on it which makes it look quite sporty.
Pagani, San Martin - all better than crappy Invicta, and with sapphire, Automatic movement, proper homage watches.
I like talking faces, Tom is funny
Don't get me wrong, I like that Invicta Speedway, but I think the better choice for a Daytona alternative is the Pagani Design version. As far as I know that Invicta has a regular ticking seconds hand, making the tachymeter useless. The Pagani homage on the other hand has a Seiko Mechaquartz chrono movement. We can argue about build quality, and yes I know Chinese watch QC, blah blah blah, but it's really hard to go wrong considering the Pagani's sub $100 price point. You could do far worse!
I am an Invicta guy but I just bought the Paganni Paul Newman And Regular Daytona Homages and they knocked my socks off!
You missed the Bel Canto vs MBandF. Also the laureato vs the 12
Points for Tom for using the term "switcharoo".
"How to get immediate engagement 101 - watch edition" -> throwing a daytona next to an invicta haha
Tom's American accent...😂😂
Wasn't it great!
Bring back the talking hands! 👍✌️
That Louis Erard regulator is a real looker 🔥🔥🔥
Glad to see you didn’t just go with the MoonSwatch for the Speedy alternative 😂 or the SwatchXBlancpain for the Fifty Fathoms.
Well a 80$ pagani design makes the MoonSwatch look like the cheap and trash toy that it is.
That Presage is very nice
Oh Come on ? the perfect alternative to that Green Rolex is the SteelDive,not the Duro!
Interesting you chose a Fossil for the Speedy surrogate.
A cheaper also swiss alternative is for the Lange 1 is the Hamilton Regulator.
the Fossil Chrono reminds me more of a Tag Heuer rather than Speedy….
And it's not even a chrono. The subdials are date and 24 hour complications. It doesn't even have a tachymeter bezel.
Was hoping to see some 70s Zenith alternatives in here.
The Seiko and Orient are brilliant
The casio duro is named like that because “duro” means “hard” in italian
Duro - something that is solid, hard, and not easy to break. Maybe 🤔?
there actually is a rotary „reverso“ you can flip over…
You two had me laughing hysterically! Well done!
Thank you for posting this helpful video
Please, thrash that Stührling. The Casio Edifice EF-527D-1AVEF is a head above that one.
Man, I love my Duros. Just think how many I could buy for the price of one Submariner.
Me thinks I'd need an extra room built..🤔😍
i became a professional watch smasher today
As Alternative for IWC Big Pilot, Why not Laco Stuttgart Pro, yes its 850 EUR but it's one of the german 5 who produced them back then. You actually get some history there for a very fair price.
and if you can accept 42 instead of 44 mm Diameter, you can even go for the Augsburg 42 which comes for only 340 €.
Stuttgart Pro costs 1050,- € in 43 mm btw.
Went with an Augsburg 39 as I love everything related to historic aircraft though didn't wanted to spend much money and really like it a lot.
Laco pilot watch is a better IWC alternative...it was also one of the 4 complanies making fliegers during ww2 with IWC.. They cost like $500
I think the subtext here is Nothing beats the real thing none of the alternatives are in the same league
[ but Invicta!!!... ]
I love Your style, irony and healthy comparisons, but Invicta (: Oh my, oh my (;
Rather than using a Louis Erard Regulator as a replacement for A Lange & Sohne their are other alternative "Regulator" watches. The Chronoswiss Regulator is worth consideration and today I picked up an Alpina Alpiner Regulator for GBP 597 and am very happy with it. Who needs A Lange & Sohne !!! 😀😀😀
It was fun to watch. 🎉

you guys left out the obvious Vacheron 222-> Tissot PRX gold
Out of all watches.. the trash is piling up. How about digging deep into the Tag back catalog, caliber 6 , caliber 5. And maybe some Seiko watches that haven’t been brought up 1000 times. Or maybe why are longines watches so underrated and so cool.
I’m thinking of getting an AliExpress Daytona, but can’t decide between Pagani and Parnis. Anyone?
Ah yes my price ranges 🙌
Should check out a Jaragar for the Navitimer
I had the Casio Duro green, but careful, the green is not very nice, more like a pale green, I sold it due to this :(
That gechota is fantastic haha
Bulova Sutton for the Cartier Tank...sorta.
“Duro” means “Tough”, BTW
What happened to this channel? where are the high quality videos we're used to watch and love?
IKR! The podcast format should be in a different channel.
Fossil watches shouldn't be anywhere near this channel, a friend of mine was going to buy one for around £150, I showed him a similar Accurist for £60 and the rest is history.
That's a Midwestern accent "lifesaver candy!" Don't saddle the rest of us with that nasal, flat vowel accent please. Just kidding. Great vid. Keep at it.
A better alternative to the Lange One would be the Tissot Couturier with an actual offset dial, separate seconds dial, and date.
Love that lorus....need ..... that Spinnaker is awesome i own the same one❤
Omg Tom your American accent killed me.
You guys are amazingly sarcastic.
Sturling and Fossil???? What??? These are either fashion or recycled reselling 🧍🏼
Alternate Reverso: Vario Versa. I own one and it's absolutely amazing.
Yes, they're reissuing some color versions sometime soon, I'm waiting for those.
I'm really curious which ones they'll do, since they had said the prior colors were limited edition and wouldn't come back. I was lucky I wanted black anyway. @@ge48421
I shall attempt to answer your age old question good sir. Duro in Italian means hard (yes I know), resistant, resilient. That's probably the reason why this Casio is called Duro.
The Geckota is a looker.
Laco is the cheap alternative to IWC
I really don't understand this thing about "dot over 90"...
Duro is Japanese for Marlin.
I think Pagani does a better 'Faketona'
🤣😂🤣“Liyfe saaverr cayndeey” 🤣😂🤣
