Finally a video that actually shows watches someone who wants the Swatch would buy. Very good work! Other channels don't even come close to figuring out what the Swatch moonswatch or blancpain are looking for.
mate, love your videos. the style, the personality, the charme. but most importantly, the content. the watches you propose actually capture the essense of the originals, which so many alternative videos just dont manage. and just the taste in general. big up
Appreciate that mate 🙏
That carbon Tissot is nearly a grand man I thought it was gonna be a good alternative but its in a completely different price range
Awesome suggestions, so many great watches that don't usually get recommended by watch youtubers!! I would also throw in the Spinnaker Fleuss as an alternative: Brushed stainless steel case finished to a high standard, extremely high quality bezel that closely resembles the one from the Fifty Fathoms, domed sapphire crystal, beautiful handset and applied indices, C3 Super Luminova and a decorated Seiko NH35 movement - all for even less than the Swatch FF!!
I dig the Bulova. Got the Casioak on my wrist right now; have enjoyed it for years. Great list!
Blancpain, never quartz, but plenty of plastic lately.
Rather funny that isn't it 😂
A good list with alternatives, some of them i didnt know. Good job.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 👌 I tried to throw in a couple of curve balls at you in this one 😅
I'm glad to see this garbage being called out by you and some others. I've also seen TH-camrs saying it's not a bad buy. They either know nothing about affordable watches or they're on the payroll!!
Most of the positive reviews come from collectors who don't touch affordable watches... They see it as a fun little cheap toy. Of course, we see the value, or rather lack there of.
What a great list! I love the look of that Baltic. I wear a Casio MRW-200 at work most days, it gets wet and covered in crap but is so durable! Another great video Kieron, cheers 👍
I used to think those vintage TAG watches were super ugly, but I gotta admit I have been liking them recently 😂. I actually kinda wanna get one
I too shared that opinion. However I saw one on someone's wrist once and it really caught my eye. I then stalked eBay for a few weeks until I fund one in excellent condition.
Amazing list! The swatch comes with a ten year warranty but I completely agree. It’s crazy that they’re marketing the Eco friendly strap when it’s a disposable watch. 😂
2 years warranty. No system 51 survive 10 years.
Here a video of someone "servicing" an system 51: th-cam.com/video/3V7vZuKR6_Q/w-d-xo.html
Got a MWR in Blue with yellow details, love it!!! It's my fun watch
I think that's probably my favourite one. Nice watch mate, enjoy!
What is the reference of your tag heuer?
Kind of funny your first alternative has a crappy, disposable powermatic 80 movement. I do love that watch in other respects though.
Nit pick. System 51 is not glued. It's riveted. In the 90's TAG Heuer 2000 comes in lots of colour. But talking to TH owners complain of it's QC. I've head a few people worn them for snorkeling and water get inside.
Riveted is the correct term, glued is used for people to understand the process a little better without needing an explanation. I haven't tested mine to it's full capacity, but with the light water submersion it has had, it's coped perfectly. However I'm always cautious with vintage watches and there pressure capabilities. Hence why I didn't mention the Tags water resistance as an upside over the Swatch FF.
Great video!
Kieron isnt it funny how watches fluctuate their prices? I love how the market works
I pick the baltic, or even above It, the spinnaker oxblood red, still cheaper than the Swatch. If in a budget, dont dismiss the corgeut fifty fathoms for 200 €...
Great list!
Thank you Jim! Glad you enjoyed it mate 🙏
Or anything made by San Martin
OOOHHHH THIS GUY REALLY KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT
Have you got one
Yeah I bought 2 of them from ebay for $1k each.
Another great video
Thank you! I appreciate your support mate 🙏🙏🙏🙏
You forgot the Casio Duro
I would rather buy a Seiko presage
so ridiculously boring…….when do we get one with the amazing POWERMATIC 80? The greatest swindle in watchdog imho. Disposable, castrated, ETA 2824-1 that can not be serviced, has a silicone balance spring that will disintegrate after awhile, spreading tiny little pieces all throughout the movement. Oh SWATCH! Too clever by half I’m afraid. I really like your reviews. Thanks!
I got one. Junk. I replaced it with a Thorn SHY. Way better watches at 1/3 the price.
De Guzman and Co diver better equivalent
Prefer new Orient Mako 40 mm .
Thorn
Or if you want a BlancPain or Fifty Fathoms then buy this $400 one.
It's not a Blancpain fifty fathoms mate, it's a Swatch 😂
@@TopTierTicker tell the dial.
@@TopTierTicker and tell BlancPain.
@@drdesign6886Having Blancpain on the dial doesn't make it one, lol.
The Tide has no value at all...
you wanna pick girls up at the club then all these work except the bulova
Haha! Women don't like Bulova? what did they do wrong!?!? xD
haha something heavily unsexy about bulova, i dont know man @@TopTierTicker
Actually Bulova would be the brand they are more familiar with, they have a huge selection of womens watches.
aaaaaaahhh wonderful :)
The fuck...
It is supposed to be 50 Fathoms alternative, and almost half of the watch shown are not even close to that, there are even two more related to a Royal Oak...
I don't understand there was so many other choices to put on display like Seiko 5 SNZH collection or Le Forban Malouine/La Brestoise for exemple.
At least put an honest title "other watches you could buy instead of the Fifty Fathoms" but don't call it alternatives if you don't really show alternatives... So missleading.
Your picks are along the same line as mine 🤣🤣🤣 you've just picked two watches that look like a Blancpain 😂
It's pretty hard finding true alternatives to a plastic automatic watch with poor water resistance you know 😂
Face plant..
Sook it up...
