The quality of the Chr Ward watches is outstadning, I put my new C63 Aquitaine next to my Seiko SPB 143 this afternoon and the Chr Ward is sooo good . 😍
No one writes content like you, Andrew. Just tremendous writing. Not a surprise you’ve got a couple novels.
The writing is great, catchy, fluid, and lovely to listen to. Thanks.
This video is exactly what I needed on an otherwise uneventful Sunday 😊
😉👍
I own the Selten and it,s amazing how they made such a great watch for the prize. I was sure, there would be some corner cutting, but no. Only gripes I have is the bracelet endlinks, not a quality, but a design issue. Also it's quite thick, but it comes from the amazing dial with floating hourmarkers.
Also waiting for my Bel Canto, not happy for them pushing the delivery date, but I quess they didn't have a choice.
Knew about all of the featured brands and models but wanted to give my thumbs up for this kind of content! Super fun and cool pieces for the non billionaire wath geek! 👏
Billionaire? Get real dude.
Are you on the dole?
Great video, I was proud I knew almost half the brands mentioned 😁
Fantastic research and video Andrew. Never knew that there would be excellent budget friendly alternatives to the big boys, except for MAD 1.
Yours is one of the best voices on TH-cam. Good luck with the new channel. Love it!
This video watches like a live reel of my watch wishlist. Great video!
Always fun and always great content! 🥃
Thank you soo much for these finds, never even heard of the Le Dome. But fell in love with it & HAD to buy it. Looks WAY more expensive then what it is... Cheers for the list.
How refreshing to hear such excellent content. Thanks for sharing. Brilliant.
Great video! Thanks for all the watches to choose from. La Dome is super cool.
Some cool options to think about. Thanks again Andrew.
Excellent video bro,thank you so much
very enjoyable video !! TNX !!
Bought a Nivada Superantartic a couple of years back and recently rediscovered it in my collection. Kinda looks like that big branded one, some good stories around it ( the Antarctic explorers actually wore it, not carried it in their pockets in preference to their Smiths) and really robust. I also picked up a Longines Spirit GMT 39mm when I happened to be in St Imier on the day of the launch. My other GMTs ( including that soft drink package coloured ones) have now taken a back seat to it……
The D1Milano with Myota 9015 for less than £500 after negotiations....amazing quality and the only reason I haven't bought the 12.
I just looked at the D1. It's very nice. I also will not buy a CW12. I like it but don't love it. The integrated bracelet watch that I saw and immediately loved is the Maen Manhattan 37. I already ordered it for about US$700.
Your writing is so good… like a gazelle escaping a cheetah through sheer wit, bypassing the need for speed
Another well narrated and humorous video Andrew. I have to agree with the Longines Big Eye bit. I wasn't a fan when it was re-released but it's one of the best tool chronograph watches that you can still buy without making an oath that you can't not break to some dodgy dude in an odd hat. It's available if you look around enough and arguably one of the most readable at a glance in the steel version with the black dial. Needless to say I ended up getting one some years ago and definitely do not regret it. Many thanks for sharing.
I have a friend who was kind enough to show me, midst my bragging about my Glycine Airman Chief, his Christopher Ward jump-hour. The hour indicator being at 6 o'clock was the most shocking thing... I have since looked for that watch, or another that does NOT have the jump hour jumping under the seconds hand, but to no avail.
Great video, as always!
-CW Bel Canto azzuro: tick
- Radcliffe Le Dôme Purple: tick (expected next October)
- Atowak Tarantula red: tick (expected in a few days now)...
-
One of the best for my money is the Glachutte Orginal Panoreserve if you want the A Lange Sohne look.
That portal reference was dope!
Portal references in a watch video. This channel never disappoints
Great video. In America, we would say you knocked it out of the park.
I just laughed my ass off on this one! Thank you so much for poking a blunt finger in the eye of all the watch snobs out there… Excellent content perfectly presented… And you are an expert at being at once sardonic and sincere. That’s a gift!thank you, thank you.
Zodiac is crazy for quality & value, truly Rolex level craftsmanship
I'm not one for the weird and wonderful complications even at discount prices. My takeaways from this list would be the CW Twelve and the Longines. Christopher Ward are knocking it out of the park at the moment, I'm so pleased with my blue C63 on bracelet. It has me lasting after a black Trident Pro 300....who needs a BB58...?
Only thing better then subtle thoughtful advertising is very very very not that type advertising. Good stuff!
Dear Andrew,
I have been watching your channel since its beginnings and love your content. I think you have earned the right to some kind of set behind you. The white wall is not giving justice to the fantastic content you create ;)
Not super cheap but a solid alternative to a A. Lange & Söhne Lange One would be the Glasshütte Panomaticlunar. That one comes in at around 10K€ instead of your liver and first born.
Then there is of course the Zenith El Primo Chronographs vs the Daytona.
I guess a Zenith Chronomaster T (full calendar chronograph) from late 90’s/early 2000’s would be the closest to a PP5970. It edges any competition with the high-beat of the respected El Primero Chronometer-adjusted caliber, which is actually very smooth to operate. The aperture calendar indications are easy to read. It wears comfortably at 40mm, has an interesting case not unlike PP’s classic ones and to this day, I challenge you to find any competition, not even in Zenith’s own catalogue. The black dial version in particular will have everyone look twice at your wrist because it looks the business and most importantly it isn’t some random microbrand wannabe vintage something that will vanish tomorrow while the market price makes it a bargain. Yes, it’s a bit old now but then again, so is the Patek 5970…
love my Cward 12
You must be C Ward's Love Child as often as you mention them. I love your videos!
I’m curious if there is an alternative to Ressence because man at 20k I would love to see that ability to display time in more of an affordable way like a solar quartz
“Interstellar salami”!! Hysterical! 😂🤣😂🤣
I'm just pointing out that the pictures of the Dome watch had a Seiko NH3 series caliber inside, not that it's super important to point out, cheers Mr Hands. 👍😁
CW have moved the delivery date of the Bel Cantos to the right by 4 months. Wonderful.
Best voice in the watch game.
I've ordered an Oceaneva Deep Marine Explorer. It's a 1250 Meter, Titanium dive watch that I'm pretty sure I don't need.. Looking forward to a Rolex Sea-Dweller vibe for $500.
That Longines looks really good.
If only they hadn't resorted to cut digits...
It looks incredible except for that, in my humble opinion.
Superb choices for ordinary people 🎉
That Radcliffe is awesome.
Aside from the Longines, all watches featured here are somewhat horrendous. But I'll take horrendous and original over the next pricing lament about a certain sports watch any day of the week. Thanks for making this content.
Regarding meteorites, I don't get the hubbub. One could argue that all metal on earth has come from impact bodies. And all matter in the universe is 13,5 billion years old.
Lastly.... Citizen Tsuyosa. For a pittance compared to the Twelve. :)
I might watch too many of your videos... I bought the first 2 of these, and they're awesome! You're bad for my bank account 😂
Me gusta el Longines 😍
I bought a Seiko Samurai Save the Ocean with a blue graduation dial, but also with a texture on the dial. I now no longer desire the Rolex Deep Sea Cameron.
What about Epos Sportive Diver 3504.131.93.13.30 ? It looks like the best swiss budget alternative for Hulk Rolex. Any thoughts?
What a great selection!! Yet another unmatchable video. Cheers
I just got notice that my Bel Canto Nero will be delivered in Feb. 24 instead of the original Nov. 23 delivery originally given...I guess I'll just have to wait won't I..
Same here, unfortunately
I will get it in November, can‘t wait!!
@@cosmodoc you might check your emails,, mine was supposed to be then also and I ordered pretty early
@@davidtomasetti8520 yep, I always check my email, arriving in November!
$2565 for a Zeroo Time T3 Leo Blk/Blu. Seems too expensive from the origianl $1100 shipped. Worth it?
Citizen NB1060-12L has Grand Seiko looks without the Grand Seiko price tag.
A vintage Seiko Weekdater is a good budget alternative to a vintage Rolex DayDate.
I was recently notified by Christopher Ward that my order for the Bel Canto is delayed to ship next March, instead of by the end of this year. Oh well, at least they are holding only a deposit.
You should have ordered the Christopher Ward version instead
@@italianstallion3130 Thanks, correcting that.
Being a pedantic git I have to point out that the Bel Canto does not chime(multiple tone) but strike(monotone).
All Ding, No Dong 😂
Huh?... is there some weird watch specific use of the words "chime" and "strike" that I'm not aware of? A strike and a chime are to different things. You strike something (like a bell) to make it chime (make a sound). You can strike a bell once to make it chime, or multiple times to make it chime, doesn't matter.And unless you you have two different bells to strike, striking a single bell multiple times will still be monotone, or one note.
Well shit, now I'm the one being pedantic... Sorry for the rant but that comment just made my brain hurt.
@@makius1400
No problem mate.Try this one ;do you refer to a timepiece that has neither chime or strike as a clock?@@makius1400
You can always try NOT being pedantic, I gave up that lifestyle years ago 😂
Love the Moonswatch burn - it really is a load of gangsta/flipper crap.
The Tissot Luxury Powermatic could be an affordable “look” to the Odysseus
Atowak (Tarantula) web is yet close Now is going!
Dont forget the Aision meteorite tourbillion watch.
Ciga blue planet!!!!
I own watches with prices ranging from £15 (Ebay Vostock Komandirskie), up to just under £3k (Doxa Sub 200 T-Graph), and amazingly the one that I wear the most is my Seagull 1963 Heritage Chronograph. It's NOT all about the money! Then again, I'd LOVE an A Lange & Sohne, but I doubt if I'd wear it often!
I disliked your comment in error, and removed it immediately. Sorry if it came through.
@@grammarboy1318 Didn't even notice. No need to apologise, mistakes happen, and you are well within your rights to dislike a comment anyway! :D
@@24934637 I seem to be one of very few that dislike comments on YT, but in this case it was a mistake!
9:35 That would bother me that the hands are not positioned right!
You are by far the most articulate and most knowledgeable TH-camr on the internet. Praise be 🙏
Did you see them all in person? If so which one do you think has the best quality?
Well, Pagani Design do pretty decent Tasti Tondi, don’t they ?
41mm for the longines chronograph is NOT BIG! many chronograph and pilot watches are way larger and indeed too BIG! this is actually very good size !
Direnzo deserves more love. Just saying.
I really need a demon-possessed ceiling fan.
Interstellar Salami! 😂
To me a bargain watch is $15 not $1500. My expensive watches stay in my dresser drawer because in my work I tend to break watches and a Walmart $15 special being broken is not a cause for tears. My pricey watches are reserved for dress-up occasions.
We’re coming full circle whereby a week’s worth of salary can get you a nice watch. It’s the 80s again, before Rolex switched from making watches to printing money.
I get that the bel canto is cheap for a chiming watch, but at AUD$4,000 this is far from a bargain watch
40mm dress watch = FAIL. It's too big for a dress watch, always has been always will be. 38mm is the sweet spot for a dress watch, I though this was universally accepted now? Quite like the diddy date window though! The 36 looks better proportioned to my eye.
Dubai expat? 👍
Would love it if you could get footage of the other bel canto colors...
It’s odd that they only made 300 of those supposedly but everytime you see a reviewer with one or someone who says they own one it’s always blue.
Why nobody from wrist watches influencers and leaders of opinions after all do not tell us how unbelievably close Christopher Ward “Twelve” to Czapek Antractique? Why everybody try to make us blind and force to compare “twelve” with Audemar Piguet and tell that the first inspired by the second.
No matter what, Andrew, your content is super cool. I enjoy every your video.
Check out this video for your answer 😉 th-cam.com/video/ZmaYYV9U4aE/w-d-xo.html&feature=sharea
You can get even better value in a wandering hour watch by buying a Xeric.
How much bull... Accidentally got into here, wow, this was like..... I don't even know. Bad.
Why is he using filter like he's a run-of-the-mill IG model?
That IWC example was such shameless plug of a Richmond brand...
Who would cross shop that and the Big Eye? The later is sell like crazzy. The former, probably needed a boost, by being compared with a very successful design.
No CW watches for me. I really dont like them. I do like what they are doing though. That chinese skeleton watch is maybe one I would buy.
😮😅😊
This is freaking me out. I recognize the voice but it usually belongs to just a pair of hands and now theres is a whole head ! Stop it, I say.
The MB&F is hideous.
Why not rename both channels to Ch Ward? At this point it only makes sense
Honestly you present a great show, except there’s not a whole lot about the watches. Maybe show the watches more, and talk a little less. I had to shut you off.
It’s really sad how you talk in Dollar as a Brit.
Why don’t you move there like Harry lol.
GBP is a much less important currency. Why don't Brits make it more important ?
@@shuycg Fair point but it’s easy enough to convert or else a simple text on screen when money is mentioned.
My suggestion deleted twice in short order. For shame!!
Same old boring stuff over and over again. It always has to be complication and sophistication involved!
BTW, tell mr. Christopher Ward to pay a visit to the famous German jeweler sometime. There lies the answer to all his unachieved dreams😁
CW is pretty shit brand. Just copies other hype watches design and slaps it’s ugly logo on it.
"Inspired by" is a nice way -and short- to say "copied with small modifications".
All watches "inspired by" are creative garbage.
Almost all bargains here are cheap brands expensive brands don’t actually need to worry about you buying. This is the ultimate lipstick on a pig collection. Oink and pass. Snob I am.
Really, that Longines stands on its own.
