Tim Mosso’s curated luxury watch gallery arrives loaded with high horology and high value from the Watchbox inventory! Preowned luxury watches from $2,950 to $200,000 ensure that all watch buyers, watch collectors, and watch enthusiasts are guaranteed to find the right match for their tastes, wrists, and budgets. This is TH-cam’s only curated luxury watch safari!
Today’s show features one Rolex watch, the Rolex Day Date 40. This 40mm white gold calendar complication, also known as the Rolex “President” or “Presidential,” is ready for its next administration on your wrist! With a 70-hour power reserve, double quickset day-date calendar, and a 100-meter water resistance, this is a Rolex with broad appeal. The bracelet, which is properly named the “Rolex President,” includes ceramic-coated pins designed to end Rolex bracelet stretch for all time. This reference 228239 includes a white dial with white gold applied roman numeral hours and the celebrated Rolex crown logo.
Grand Seiko watches arrive in two varieties on today’s program. The first is a 44.2mm Grand Seiko dive watch, the SBGA031. This is a titanium spring drive diver with 200-meter water resistance, an adjustable diving clasp, and a unidirectional rotating dive bezel. Its Seiko Spring Drive automatic movement includes a power reserve indicator, a 72-hour power reserve, and outstanding quartz-watch accuracy of +/- 15 seconds per month.
Fans of a more compact Grand Seiko shape will enjoy the 2020 Grand Seiko “Soko” collection SBGA429. Inspired by the season of autumn and early snowfalls, this poetic edition includes a dark “shadow” grey brushed dial and green accents inspired by the forests of northern Japan in late fall. A Spring Drive automatic caliber 9R65 provides outstanding precision, the Zaratsu-polished steel case reflects meticulous hand-finishing, and the color-matched alligator leather strap pairs perfectly with the dial.
Fans of German watches will appreciate two standouts from Glashutte. First is the white gold A. Lange & Sohne Datograph Perpetual with a flyback chronograph, perpetual calendar, and a dark rhodium dial crafted from sterling silver. Second in order but not distinction is the Zeitwerk Striking Time, a jumping time digital display watch that strikes notes at the turn of the hour and the quarters.

Love the gs 429
Tim just casually chatting about some of the best watches in the world with a crumpled intro card.. love your work Tim stay authentic
I love that too. All watch, No face. But even on the live streams you can tell he is like a kid in a candy store.lol
My mind is reeling , a spectacular array of watches , too many superlatives to mention , fantastic .
Funny, when you said the Greubel was hand finished with a wire brush, I nearly spat my lunch out.
Got to the show late today, but I must admit? Dayum! Thanx for the wrist candy today Mosso! The DB amd GF were remarkable to say the least. Plus of course Lange, but that lume of Moser stole the show 👍 😳😳😳 Thanx for the entertainment and education Mosso. Have a good weekend. 🥃
Not many know this but the name "Seiko", when directly translated into English, actually means "date at three". (Se = date, i = at, ko = three)
This video just kept getting better and better haha. Fantastic video. I have to say, the watch at 18:42 took the show for me. That vignette on the dial 🤤...
That Day Date has enough Presence to cover any and all Rolex that would have been on.
I’m exhausted🥵 grail city tonight guys!
Wow Thanks for showing
The VC weekly calendar is interesting, the Patek 5212 shows 53 weeks (ISO calendar) vs 52 here.
I would love to own a collection like this. In fact, I might sell my soul for a collection like this. But, honestly, what a great standout selection of watches from start to finish. Even just given the chance to review these watches would be a dream come true.
I like seeing the drilled lugs on the GS! So much easier to experiment with strap changes. Don’t want to scratch that Zaratsu!
The bamboo gs is an absolute stunner. I'm gonna have to see it in person the next chance I get. Great job as always Tim and crew!
I love everything about it, except those green hands... Definitely prefer my SBGA435.
I bought one recently, and when you buy it new, you get both a leather strap and metal bracelet.
@@davidc5191 Very nice! I love it when brands so that I hope it becomes a trend. I know VC does it w/ the overseas
@Tobias Bolli I hear ya. I actually really like another LE myself. I almost feel like gs is like Goldilocks, you have to find the one that is just right for you
It's horology porn with the Hugh Hefner of TH-cam watch reviews.... Playboy Tim Mosso!!! Love it thank you so much....I need a cold shower
That PP Calatrava is gorgeous! I love it.
Both of those HM&C’s - yet another set of awesome dials!
That DeBethune - that dial is spectacular! I’d love to see green and red variants of it.
HYT - wow! Not personally my style but I have tremendous respect for them for the product that they make; amazing!
That GF is amazing too; wow!
Amazing selection Tim, love the 6007 (so much better than it at first seems), DB SV is stunning, ZW is sublime and the Moser Tourbillon is amazing - although I couldn't wear it crown to the left and the dial appears upside down crown right.
Easily my favorite V.C. That simply screams 'Holy Trinity'. Excellence Incarnate.
6:55 , you favorite two independents?
Im Sure you haven’t heard about Akrivia
Waking up to Thursday watches! Stay safe Tim! That Moser Mosaic had such a mesmerizing dial of course but additionally that case has such presence. #timmossosunglasses
Love the Moser / MB&F watch! Looks like a rich person's Corum bubble.
I love the Datograph Perpetual so much.
What are your thoughts on the Perpetual Tourbillon (black dial)?
Fantastic video Thanks for sharing
I feel like this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but while I think GS does soooooo many things right and brings you more value than literally anyone else, they're not quite there yet.
This particular watch is another example of getting it almost perfect, but it's a bit too thick for the profile. If you're going to do a 39 millimeter watch and you're going for that elegant look, my general rule of thumb is (diameter/3) -1, so a 39mm watch should be 12mm or thinner. I realise this sounds super nitpicky, but when I'm dropping thousands of dollars on a watch, I expect it to be the perfect example of what I'm getting.
I don't think Rolex gives you better value than a GS, but when you pay 9700$ for a GMT, you're getting the perfect version of what that watch is supposed to be. A rugged sports watch with the perfect proportions and a hugely robust mechanical movement.
Grand Seiko took a step towards this with the seasons collection, and I think SLGH003 (which I think is just perfect in terms of dimensions) is a signal that they're now stepping into the realm of absolute perfection. I imagine I'll be buying one in about a year or two, but not quite yet.
fully agreed. GS really seems to excel at certain aspects, but for some aspects seems to really fall behind some competitors (thickness of the watches, bracelet, clasp)
totally agree with you and it's not overly nitpicky, it's realistic.. 12mm or thinner shouldn't be so difficult
The Cartier Santos, albeit with a traditional non-spring drive movement, is under 10mm and curves to the wrist
And as you say Rolex as boring as they are just get the proportions so right
I'll throw microadjusting clasps in with your hit list for the perfect GS
I don’t feel the dimensions are overly off, they wear better then you’d think. I own the skyflake, wears nicely and it’s presence on the wrist is fairly subdued. My main gripe is the clasp and strap, needs improvement, as far as the case, dial, hands, movement and over all finishing are concerned it’s a very nice watch.
@@glenbuyer8738 how often do you wear dress/business shirts?
The HYT in red reminded me of Konstantin Chaykin watches.
oh boy, that platinum zeitwerk 😍
The HYT looks like a bicycle bell at first glance. Fun idea but not neither practical nor pretty. The Grand Seiko SBGA429 is a beauty!!
Mosso, i still prefer the Citizen diver watch w/ GMT.
Have Omega Seamaster but the Seiko LX
Has most of the wrist time
I truly hoped the the will not compare the Seiko bezel with the Rolex, but i wasn't lucky! No you can't compare the two...
The HYT looks like you are on home arrest
Why pay for an AP or Patek if you cab get that DB? Don’t get it...
I think the prices should be mentioned in the videos.
Disappointed about that stamped patek guilloché....
Take the Grand Seiko any day.
Unpopular opinion. I don’t think we should consider the day-date or datejust to be dress watches, especially being on a metal bracelet.
I emailed twice with no response. Let me know if you need me to send it again or if your just not interested. Thank you.
Please email tmosso@thewatchbox.com for additional information.
Kinda surprised, I think thats olny the 3rd or 4th R.M. I've seen on the 'box'.
They sell fast and often out of our Asian offices where Tim doesn’t get his hands on them. We have some more coming through, so stay tuned!
@@the1916companywatchreviews I can imagine they do. And iam a little surprised that they still do after all the years. But the man said it himself, he works on the "razors edge" of being innovative and non traditional, without being clownish. LOL. He must be doing something right. Thanks for the response
That RM is a bargain! LOL
9:30 You're welcome :)
big like
So many nice watches! but that HYT H0 Eau Rouge is so god awful to look at, it looks like a child's toy watch where the little steal ball floats around and you have to try get it through the maze. I'm glad the price isn't displayed because i know it would make me sick.The Soko is so nice. Love the channel Tim.
What I find interesting that no one discusses is that the million dollars worth of watches shown in this video means wealthy people are selling their watches in large numbers every week. The recession is by no means over.
lol firesale time
Is this video sped up?
Dont talk shit about the Star Fleet com badge. Lol. I wonder if M.B. and F, or Jacob and co. Could make a watch with DS 9 under the safire
So who got the other 3? You, Brian, and who else?. Lucky M.Fs i can tell you that
That Grand Seiko clasp looks sheap!
BYE PATEK PHILIPPE 5711/1A.....
I can see the beauty in Moser . Never -the- less , to me , they look like cheap holiday watches .
hublow is king!!! 👑👑👑👑👑
JFC , you are hard to listen to . !
hublow is better than those Chinese grand Seikos!!! 👑👑👑👑👑
Not sure what that comment even means, some sort of snarky perhaps?
Imagine being so lame you make comments like this on the internet
Bloody TH-cam ... I'm not subbed , but your crap keeps coming up .
Go away Mrs. Mosso .
