Archie's right and he's talking about these popular channels like TGV and FedericoEatsWatches. They are doing a disservice! Watches $100-1200 are in fact disposable dog shit that's not worth servicing despite how many complications they have and how well built they are. If you're going to buy a $500 watch, just save some more money and buy a quality Speedmaster. Archie's been saying this for years and people think he's a snob, but he's right.
To be fair, Federico hasn't pushed garbage watches in quite a while. TGV is the worst about it. All fake, all the time. At least Bark & Jack tells you up front "These guys sent me a free watch... here's the review".
You know what, I'll agree with you there. Federico isn't as bad as TGV, but one or two videos titled "Best Watches Under $1000" is enough reassurance for the novice watch enthusiast to spend his money on a garbage watch which won't last him. It's like promoting a hooker with STD's. It's all fun n games until the memories fade and the syphilis stays.
The problem with MSRP is that it doesn't tell the whole story. Rolex is a great brand, but if you were to buy their GMT in 1960 it would run you less than 1k (adjusted to inflation). Watch prices have been inflated for a long time, but with the current soft market you'll see prices stagnant and producers freeze increases.
MrDudezProductionz whats wrong with 350€ victorinox summit with swiss quarts movement? It looks great,works great and if you loose it or smash in to 1000 pieces, its not end of the world.
Good thing i watch this video. I am on a fence for buying a a cheap dive watch and just because i want to. Even i have 2 dive watch in the collection. Thanks archie. I'll save for good buy soon.
Not just price..brand name...Archie and the people here worship rolex, even though it is machine made, mass produced,...and pretentious..Many better brands out there for the same money
When you don’t have money but desire expensive watch to compensate your low self esteem you need high resale value! You have to sale it when you have no money for food of course
Archie, Maurice Lacroix is not exactly 'cheap.' There are a couple of 'less expensive' models in the range but there are mostly expensive models pitched at wealthy Germans in Europe. They are a relatively new brand in Switzerland, but their proprietary movements result from pretty intensive German management dedication to quality and engineering expertise. There is some misinformation in the market from competitors too, about what the current owners and management is seeking to do; they are not a big brand and their modest production output weathered the China market volatility because they never over-supplied in the first place.
Archie's ideal watch-world: Rowlex Phateik maybe IWC, maybe Breitleeeng that's it....but this is a bore...a phukk..n desert populated by ah punter brands...is this we really want?
So nobody has the freedom to start a watch company and to start from 0 because is gonna be a shitter? let me remind you. All companies started from a start and they were all shitters when they started (according to you). because they didnt have prestige, history, etc. they will eventually build it, and is vicious to put watch companies down just because they are not Rolex.
I dont think his opinion on a new watch brand is taking away anyone's "freedom". new micro brands pop up everyday and they follow the same basic formula. Most of the time they're just a collection of parts that other brands already made. So yes, if they source everything from china and use a generic eta or eta clone movement that they generously rename and proceed to throw "swiss made" on the dial, it's a shitter. If you want to buy it, all power to you but don't go around claiming it's some quality timepiece with real heritage or that it's a "better bang per buck than a rolex or omega" like alot of these youtubers do.
yea I don't doubt there are shitters. I also hate this low quality watches with stupid marketing trying to make people think the watch is something nice and in reality is poorly made, But there are honest brands putting good materials and construction but because they are not rolex are they gonna be shitters? NO, look its very simple. Test their performance, how much they last, how efficient they are. If a watch can hold well all your life for a decent price then is not a shitter even if it has no history. Yes rolex and omega are nice and they have history but that doesnt make a quality functional watch without prestige a shitter. Is just a normal watch. Many "shitters" are professional watches that if they compete in terms of functionality and efficiency they can even beat the rolex In some ways
Paul Rojas ....Paul you are thinking rationally...but with Arch that doesn't make sense...just follow his channel for a while and you'll understand why....
Well I really think some brands have a head start by sky rocketing the prices of their timepiece. For this, I'm not going to agree with Archie that cheap are just shitters. Brands like Frank Muller & Richard mille are ultra expensive does that mean these brands are good? To me they are shitters with no basic history and one of them have to "partner" AP to bring up the brand.
I'm not trying to put Archie down. But after watching his videos, he's like tossing his words around sometime telling youtubers some brands are crashing and suddenly twist his words on the next couple of videos that whatsoever brand are OK. Oh come on he's made too much video with inaccuracy that confuse the audience.
I wasted tens of dollars buying Swatches

transikk lol
"If it's not going to piss the wife off it's not worth buying" HAHAHAHAHA, Love it!
Absolutely true. There is reward in a decent watch. The real Archie Luxury.
He's also wasted thousands of dollars buying lady bois
Jay Sikes don't knock what you haven't tried. A ladyboy load on your face changes everything.
But a memory lasts forever...
I love this man. This is the shit I go crazy for with him. "The steam off of their shit".
I'm trying to lose weight, can you and fed do a video together?
A video where they motorboat each other's hairy-nipped moobies?
Good thing i watch this video. I am on a fence for buying a a cheap dive watch and just because i want to. Even i have 2 dive watch in the collection. Thanks archie. I'll save for good buy soon.
You can afford patek and rolex , why you can’t change this fucking noisy chair !!!!!!!
I can honestly say he is speaking the truth...he may be over the top but he does know his shit.
great and original content.. How do you do it?
So a Tudor with a 2824-2 is OK but a Steinhart or Squale is garbage. You base your opinion of the value based only on price. Faux riche.
Not just price..brand name...Archie and the people here worship rolex, even though it is machine made, mass produced,...and pretentious..Many better brands out there for the same money
No, he has called ETA Tudors shitters in multiple videos.
Porsche Maven I don’t like Tudor but I’m seriously considering getting one just so I can say chew-da!
Did he say “Tudor” in house movement?
Good Show Arch..!!!😆👍

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. TGV must be "well chuffed"
TGV owns ArchieLuxury
"Fake guru's" said the guy that told everyone to buy that shit Tudor.
I’m having deja vu
You can say that again.
meson1 Say what again?
you are having a deja-phried...
The all knowing, all seeing, great one.
Roger Paris ...you mean phat one...
Fake gurus...what ones that take your money and dont deliver!!!
e.g., Archie.
why are rolex ADs ok? Surely they are worst as they give no discount. Never have stock.
Archie has had a hard on for TGV for years now!
Well TPV does look like a ladyboy after all
Pissing myself watching this lol 🤣🤣🤣
Don’t you have 4 months of watch reviews to catch up on Big Boy?
Brighty.....was that a nod to the governor!!
He is 100% correct
Alex Alex ...he's 100% correct in being wrong...
12:21 when the methamphetamines wear off and you start chewing on your thumbs

When you don’t have money but desire expensive watch to compensate your low self esteem you need high resale value!
You have to sale it when you have no money for food of course
Archie is the only guru we need, all others are phuckaroooooneeeeessss
You buy cheap you buy twice
I love the vintage military but they are all small.
Eagerly awaiting the limited edition AC3 man on the phucking moon

Don’t forget the maaaan on the moooonnn
If it doesn't cost as much as a car it's not worth it😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤
Nice one Archibald.
#6: Buying too large for your wrist. You don't want to look like a Turkey!
Small is back,
small is relative. archie clocks in at 300 pounds so anything less than 50mm is lady boy size.
“The hormones in the chicken, it’s the hormones in the chicken.”
