This channel is very weird: you came here to unwind after a busy day, watching some ASMR-esque storytelling about beautiful things then get depressed knowing you can't afford them. 10/10 gonna come here again.
Take the 500 you were going to spend on a cheap watch and buy spx option contracts.. You might just get enough to buy a nice watch. I turned 300 into about 12k over a few months 👍 I'm wearing a planet ocean now vs the sarb I used to wear
Well, perhaps it should serve as an eye opener: these are still mass market watches, meaning there is a “mass” of consumers willing to buy and able to afford them. The wealth in this world is much bigger than working class people (and the term is more not less inclusive these days!) seem to think. Perhaps it’s time for people to smell the coffee instead of slaving their whole life away for a few pennies, while a sizable chunk of the population buys things erroneously considered “expensive” without thinking it twice.
I bought my Speedmaster Moonwatch about 15 years ago brand new on the high street for £1200. I love the watch and have worn it almost every day since but I cannot believe how crazy the price increases have been on these. My wages certainly have not kept pace with today's price for a Moonwatch that's for sure.
@@SK8TRvsCOPPS1o1 You obviously haven't bought a coke in a while ;-) Anyway, you want something really cheap that can last decades: Seiko has watches in all price ranges.
Best value luxury watch, The Rolex Air King 5500 Its a proper Rolex in every sense, oyster case, perpetual winding, white gold hands on the later models, silver, black and blue dial options. It looks amazing on an orginal oyster bracelet, exotic or leather straps, i wear mine on a burgandy Crocodile which shows how versatile this watch can be. Its accurate, simple in design, wear it to the gym or to the office, it's timeless, reliable and you can pick one up for less than £2000 if you look in the right places. I got mine from a reputable Rolex dealer for £1850 fully serviced with a 2 year warranty on the movement.
@Lucky Strike For me that Air king was like a entry level watch to this watch business. It was my second watch ever and my first watch was this 60e Tayroc I bought from sale. I made good amount of profit from it and it started my interest in this business so for a first "luxury watch" it would be good but it makes you to go for the big ones pretty quikly.
Best looking of the bunch shown today for sure, followed by the Oris, the Omega, the GS and, lastly the Rolex, in my opinion. But bang for bucks, for me it's (1) GS (2) Oris (3) Omega (4) Rolex (5) Blancpain.
Really? Watching all the mediocrity at 0:21, I thought it was a cheap brand watch, but I was surprised when it turned out to be a Blancpain ... what a disappointment!!
@@bannedaccount3752 Have you seen the attention to detail in the movement?

I’ve personally seen some issues with Oris watches Quality wise; bezel inserts popping off, crown stems breaking, misaligned date wheels, etc. In the same price range but a different range of watches, Nomos Glashutte always outdo themselves in creating great watches at a great price point. still love Oris designs but no Oris for me for a while.
I recently bought my first Automatic watch. I ended up going with the Hamilton Khaki Pilot (Day/Date) and absolutely love it. It’s not a Rolex or an Omega but it’s a great watch for the price and I couldn’t be happier.
There's a couple of Nomos videos on this channel but one of them is focusing on the lambda (not quite affordable haha) and the other is showing how the other Glashutte watches have more detailed hand finishing.
My favourite? A used Omega Seamaster Master 300 in stainless steel. You can get them for less then 3000£. It is modern, with an amazing complication, it is incredibly pretty, it comes from Omega and honestly I can't see why it isn't more popular. It is a modern take on one of the true classics. Hard to go wrong with that.
But why not buy new 300m, much superior in technology and with inhouse movement, if it's quite possible to get it brand new from AD for just a little more cash? (especially if buying tax-free or negotiating the price)
The clock has no complications, but I agree with you and your choice. Why is it not more popular? easy. Most people think that if the watch is more expensive will be better. and, rolex, a brand without social history, promotes a whole luxury environment that arouses desire. Valjoux was never better than Lemania ... but everyone decides. And about the urban legend about 904 l versus 316 l, I invite everyone to learn more about it. Atlas Steel website, for example, and the real properties of each material. 904 l is no better than 316 l. It has more resistance to acid attack. I didn't know anyone who threw their watch into a glass of sulfuric acid. but if I have known allergies with 904. that is why it is not used in implants and 316 l is used. there is no difference between 316L and 904L steel in terms of strength and hardness. Both have a similar Rockwell hardness (HRB) that is less than 95 and their tensile strength is approximately 490 MPa. I studied physics and I regret the false information. Anyway, I'm too old for this and I'm sorry I wrote so much.
Dwight Howard it’s reasonably expensive but if you’re buying preowned just make sure that the watch has both the box and all papers, it is not stupidly cheap and also it’s good to contact a local luxury watch repairer and ask them to review the watch before you buy it which might run you a couple hundred.
I love my Oysterquartz. The ticking is hypnotizing, the case feels bigger than it is (because of the lugs) and it gets recognized by those who know and those who don’t (need to know) have no idea what it is. Been wearing mine since i was 15.
Got myself a omega Speedmaster Reduced used for $1.5k in great condition! Definitely affordable compared to a new omega Speedmaster sapphire sandwich lol
Tested one yesterday. Beautiful dial, but have issue on the titanium - too light for my liking. Be hunting for a GS white dial SD GMT, or a Hi-Beat next year in Japan
Grand Seiko Quartz € 2000. Longines VHP Quartz € 1000. € 2000 for a quartz movement is always very, very expensive. 10,000 blacpain is simply ridiculous. But everyone decides. This is why there are thousands of watch models
The reason the Oysterquartz is so cheap is because most people can't/won't service it and rolex has stopped producing parts for it. It's a ticking timebomb (no pun intended)
Ah that explains why my local pre-owned watch specialist has been seeing an increase in Oysterquartz models lately. Some looked like a good deal, but I'm not a quartz person, now I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger.
@@neoth8647 They're definitely cool and unique in the sense that no quartz movement has that same design, but you'd have to be a gambler on a level far above my comfort level!
Yeah it is a good point but I feel like the biggest point is that it has Quartz movement which is let alone a terrible thing for you. Imagine if someone's look inside your watch and then they say, "Nice Rolex" and afterwards they read the last previous words left, "OysterQuartz" The word, "Quartz" really made even a guy who is not into watches know how cheap the watch actually is. No matter original or not, the Quartz movement is not the perfect idea usually in a luxury watch.
Any good watch’s for $1000 or less? Looking to buy 5-6 different types. I have 2 bulova and a movado. The bulova have more variation it seems? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Not in 2 watch’s that much the ones I have just caught my eye
Rolex doesn't make their own hands? I guess that means there's another company to share the blame for that disaster of a GMT hand we saw in an earlier Watchfinder video. Still no excuse for the abysmal QC on Rolex's part.
I still can’t believe that slipped past Rolex on a precious metal watch that expensive, not that I would complain if I was given one and the hand looked like that
I've never been a massive fan of Oris watches but recently I saw an Oris sixty-five in person and despite not liking any individual part there's something about the piece that is just beautiful and I am now going to save up and buy one, would love to see a review of it too
Why is that? Is it because the hand doesn’t “sweep”? The Oysterquartz took a lot more R&D to develop than a typical Rolex movement. Doesn’t that count for something? Or is it all about the sweeping seconds hand. I’m confused.
It's such a nice watch in the flesh. I've had my share of Omegas and Rolex, but they rarely come out the drawer since I got a plain steel Oysterquartz on a whim. But then I like the design of the new electric Aston Martin too. Horses for courses.
hello guys i need some opinions with what should i go with. new oris aquis new oris divers sixty 5 used omega seamaster used breitling superocean used breitling superocean heritage this one pushing the budget everyone of the watches are about less than 2000 euros expect the breitling they are a little over it sorry for bad English
Anybody, I am thinking about what watch I should buy. Should I buy a Panerai scuderia chronograph, or another Rolex, and omega speed master, a brietling navimeter chronograph, or an aide Mars piguet royal oak?
now i have a question for all you watch enthusiasts, i have been looking for a Patek Philippe Calatrava, what year would you go for in terms of it rising in value? Thank you.
Calatravas don't go up in value. If you buy it new you are sure to lose thousands. However if you buy used, it may hold some value, but will not increase. Only Nautilus and Aquanaut going up, and that bubble is surly ready to burst
Watching this wearing my week old longines hydroconquest auto. My first luxury everyday watch. In fact i got it and a 30mm conquest auto for my wife brand new from an AD for less than £1600. I see that as a real bargain
Hi,I just love the educative stuff on watches done by you.My most favourite is The Ulysse Nardin from its inception to right now.Is it possible to do a clip on that??
When I was stationed in Japan, a coworker decided he needed a dress watch. He bought a GS. When he got on the train and grabbed the overhead handles , Japanese salarymen in the train car took immediate notice.
I own an Jules Jurgensen w/Diamonds around the bezel and on the 12-3-6 and 9 in 14kt white gold. Picked it up in the after market some 5-6 ago. Found out that it's now selling for double the price I paid. Underrated watch company in my opinion
S700KY_FPV yeah I’ve had a couple of Bulovas for years, quality watches that never get any love by watch TH-camrs. A totally overlooked brand with an established history.
Very interesting how we humans (well at least some of us) learn every day until we die. A year or two ago I did not understand why would anyone buy a Seiko for few thousands when there is Panerai, Omega, or Rolex, especially not the one that looks almost the same as $100 Seiko 5. Now after two years of thinking about watches at all I totally get it, Grand Seiko is magnificent in every way. This somewhat translate to car design as well, one needs to grow and learn how to appreciate great design not only flashy and popular and what an average uninterested ignorant sees and likes. There is a path that leads you from lusting over generic BMW or Audi, and starting to appreciate beautiful design of an "ugly and awkward" Lancia. Not that there is something wrong with Rolex or Omega, oh au contraire. Just everyone knows about them, you do not even need to be a watch enthusiast to be familiar with those two brands and their flashy and over present and over advertised designs, but to appreciate Grand Seiko the one should know at least something about watches.
Oris ProPilot Worldtimer. It's a cross between an IWC Big Pilot (a more modern interpretation), and a GMT Master II with a more useful dual-time complication and Oyster bracelet. All for under $2500 USD on the second hand market.
Yes it's a great watch. I wonder why the pro pilot series doesn't get much attention. They are beautiful timepieces which are built like tanks. I prefer them to the diving watches from oris.
@@himanishchadha2345 True. Some of their dive watches have grown on me lately (especially the Der Meistertaucher) but the proprietary lugs kill half the fun of having a dive watch (changing straps).
Funny you should mention the Oris Chronoris: I am currently debating whether to buy the Oris Chronoris 40th Williams limited edition (new) or the Heuer Silverstone limited edition (pre-owned) as a gift. Any thoughts?
These are great, but this only affordable to somewhat well off people. People of lower income can't even afford these. You should make a video on affordable vintage watches (omega, movado, e.t.c.) which can be found under $500 and even under $100
Selling my speedy was my one major regret in my watch life... because of the anniversary I couldn't hold back the trigger anymore. Picked up a 2008 model, fully boxed and papers and immaculate for 2.5k! Delighted to be back...just got to flip a Seamaster 300 (non spectre) to justify it now.
Glashutte Original and Jaquet Droz can be had at more than 50% off RP in preowned market. The overall built and finishings for both are better than Omega. For JD, it house Federic Piguet movement as well, just like Blancpain.
Definitely agree with you Kevo, the bb58 is a great value..the fit and finish is incredible. You get style, heritage, and a great 3 day reserve in house movement. Great choice.

It's such a nice watch in the flesh. I've had my share of Omegas and Rolex, but they rarely come out the drawer since I got a plain steel Oysterquartz on a whim. But then I like the design of the new electric Aston Martin too. Horses for courses.
hello guys i need some opinions with what should i go with.
new oris aquis
new oris divers sixty 5
used omega seamaster
used breitling superocean
used breitling superocean heritage this one pushing the budget
everyone of the watches are about less than 2000 euros expect the breitling they are a little over it sorry for bad English
I like the Seiko but cannot pay more than 60 bucks. Take it or leave it. This is my final offer.
buy g shock at amazon for that price
@@vikemc9899 thanks for advice, but I don't like G-Shock, I am a classy gentleman :D
@@malamute4793 there are watches by seiko you can get for 90 100 bucks its worth it
Lol buy Chinese watches, grand sieko is for enthusiasts
Anybody, I am thinking about what watch I should buy. Should I buy a Panerai scuderia chronograph, or another Rolex, and omega speed master, a brietling navimeter chronograph, or an aide Mars piguet royal oak?
Oh, when my Omega Bond Seamaster GMT cost £1920 at Watches of Switzerland... That was only 12 years ago.
now i have a question for all you watch enthusiasts, i have been looking for a Patek Philippe Calatrava, what year would you go for in terms of it rising in value? Thank you.
Calatravas don't go up in value. If you buy it new you are sure to lose thousands. However if you buy used, it may hold some value, but will not increase. Only Nautilus and Aquanaut going up, and that bubble is surly ready to burst
Last time I was this early, well I wasn't actually, it's been only few seconds since you've uploaded this.
A masterpiece, great video. The Blancpain is always on my radar.
Watching this wearing my week old longines hydroconquest auto. My first luxury everyday watch. In fact i got it and a 30mm conquest auto for my wife brand new from an AD for less than £1600. I see that as a real bargain
link to my watch website: classy-prestigious-watches.com/
check it out and make some purchases if your interested
I prefer swiss traditional brands, but that GS looked really good.
Hi,I just love the educative stuff on watches done by you.My most favourite is The Ulysse Nardin from its inception to right now.Is it possible to do a clip on that??
Guess who's here early? Love the quality of your uploads
...every
....time
You have me hunting for my perfect luxury watch
This is my favorite channel. The narration, videography and macro videography are top notch.
I just admire that Grand Seiko
When I was stationed in Japan, a coworker decided he needed a dress watch. He bought a GS. When he got on the train and grabbed the overhead handles , Japanese salarymen in the train car took immediate notice.
I own an Jules Jurgensen w/Diamonds around the bezel and on the 12-3-6 and 9 in 14kt white gold. Picked it up in the after market some 5-6 ago. Found out that it's now selling for double the price I paid. Underrated watch company in my opinion
Love Blancpain, one of my favorite brands, really an underated true luxury watch brand⌚
@James Tudor Yeah, I definitely wouldn't say it's underpriced.
Love the look & what Oris be making lately.
What's even more of a bargain is the Citizen Chronomaster line, please review one if you can!
beautiful camera work. keep it up!
I have a great love for Bulova. I have 2 tuning forks, and 2 high frequency watches. As it’s Moon year my Bulova moon watch looks the part.
S700KY_FPV yeah I’ve had a couple of Bulovas for years, quality watches that never get any love by watch TH-camrs. A totally overlooked brand with an established history.
Travis Lee totally agree buddy.
That Oris Chroris is perfect. Arrow colored seconds hand and squared off minute and hour hand is simply perfection.
Very interesting how we humans (well at least some of us) learn every day until we die. A year or two ago I did not understand why would anyone buy a Seiko for few thousands when there is Panerai, Omega, or Rolex, especially not the one that looks almost the same as $100 Seiko 5. Now after two years of thinking about watches at all I totally get it, Grand Seiko is magnificent in every way.
This somewhat translate to car design as well, one needs to grow and learn how to appreciate great design not only flashy and popular and what an average uninterested ignorant sees and likes. There is a path that leads you from lusting over generic BMW or Audi, and starting to appreciate beautiful design of an "ugly and awkward" Lancia.
Not that there is something wrong with Rolex or Omega, oh au contraire. Just everyone knows about them, you do not even need to be a watch enthusiast to be familiar with those two brands and their flashy and over present and over advertised designs, but to appreciate Grand Seiko the one should know at least something about watches.
I never heard about BlancPain until now and I gotta say it’s really beautiful and classic watch
The GS looks so handsome, the dimensions, the simplicity. The perfect dress watch.
Will have to recheck my BlancPaine price list which is in Swiss Francs.
Glad I bought my Omega and Bretling almost 20 years ago.
As always... great video!
ORIS makes great stylish high quality watches alot more care is given than alot of other luxury brands out there not to mention any names ....rolex!
Oris ProPilot Worldtimer. It's a cross between an IWC Big Pilot (a more modern interpretation), and a GMT Master II with a more useful dual-time complication and Oyster bracelet. All for under $2500 USD on the second hand market.
Yes it's a great watch. I wonder why the pro pilot series doesn't get much attention. They are beautiful timepieces which are built like tanks. I prefer them to the diving watches from oris.
@@himanishchadha2345 True. Some of their dive watches have grown on me lately (especially the Der Meistertaucher) but the proprietary lugs kill half the fun of having a dive watch (changing straps).
Love this channel!!! 🤩
I love my Omega Speedmaster. Bought a used one for around US$800 at the advice of my friends.
Anyone else bothered by how the Grand Seiko's minute hand wouldn't line up with the minute indicators?
Its the angle he shot in i guess
No it’s just u
Funny you should mention the Oris Chronoris: I am currently debating whether to buy the Oris Chronoris 40th Williams limited edition (new) or the Heuer Silverstone limited edition (pre-owned) as a gift. Any thoughts?
Is anyone else a fan of Raymond Weil? They’re affordable and very well made.
So what model is the Grand Seiko?
I have just seen a Hamilton watch which has a Manuel movement which is going for a few hundred
Que?
@@numberstation I don't know what you are implying or saying?
William A-D ¿quien es Manuel?
These are great, but this only affordable to somewhat well off people. People of lower income can't even afford these. You should make a video on affordable vintage watches (omega, movado, e.t.c.) which can be found under $500 and even under $100
Glashutte original senator chronograph. Used its just amazing value
Cibai dog
Great as always, thanks
Selling my speedy was my one major regret in my watch life... because of the anniversary I couldn't hold back the trigger anymore. Picked up a 2008 model, fully boxed and papers and immaculate for 2.5k! Delighted to be back...just got to flip a Seamaster 300 (non spectre) to justify it now.
BlancPain is the best of this bunch and it packs the best punch for the money especially the pre owned .
The only thing that I can afford is watching it here. 😭
Glashutte Original and Jaquet Droz can be had at more than 50% off RP in preowned market. The overall built and finishings for both are better than Omega. For JD, it house Federic Piguet movement as well, just like Blancpain.
Favourite bargain luxury watch?
Black bay 58. You know why
Kevo C ish, hype like many. Not in the same league as these imho
Definitely agree with you Kevo, the bb58 is a great value..the fit and finish is incredible. You get style, heritage, and a great 3 day reserve in house movement. Great choice.
If we are talking about a bargain luxury watch Mike, then for £2600 it is hard to beat.
I agree with you Saad!
Father proudly owns an Oysterquartz Datejust. Love that little ticking sound. 💪
