The dull Zulu Time may look nothing like the lovely vintage watch it is claiming to be inspired by, but know how 'good' they are because of the '5-star review' on the dial...
I've always thought that I was only really into dive watches, but looking at Teddy's channel here has really opened my eyes up to so many other different spectacular time pieces that are not dive related that are really very interesting to me now.
Finally!! THANK YOU for recognizing the finishing quality of Bell & Ross! Way too many people complain about the movement while completely overlooking the beautiful fit and finish of B&R watches. The most comfortable watch I’ve ever worn - bar none!!
That Accutron looks incredible! Not my usual cup of tea, but the smooth sweep, the spinning turbine type thingy, the dome, it totally looks like something from a 60's sci-fi series.
The King Seiko is indeed one of the best looking and finished watches below the Grand Seikos, but U do agree the movement gave me pause, considering the overall price of the watch. The redesigned Longines Conquest is a real beauty as well.
I like that GMT so much more than the regular Hydroconquest. Never liked the big 12-6-9 markers on the Hydroconquest. Absolutely love the dial of the GMT though.
I bought my wife the Breitling Chronomat Automatic 36 in the green dial and it is absolutely stunning. I bought it along side a Grand Seiko SBGA413 Shunbun, the pink dial, and it is nearly as well finished. Thoroughly impressed with it. My wife wears them both equally, but I think she might actually like the Breitling more!
Hey Teddy. Thank you for all of these videos. You've been very helpful in educating and providing great broad recommendations on a lot of lesser known brands. I just picked up an Oris Diver 65. I love it. Thanks!! Keep it up!
Wow Longines has picked it up and taking the fight really into the dour Tudor Camp. This augurs well for the group as Omega may soon make its upward (in price) movement taking the fight into Rolley camp ! Get that Omega you’ve been eyeing for long before they go unobtanium !
Another superb presentation which goes to prove you do not need to waste your time with waiting lists, authorised dealers who act like gangsters etc , another great watches are available.
I love the finish of the movement on the Baume et Mercier Clifton Baumatic. It's a great watch for the money. The CW looks goof for the money and both Longines on the list look great.
Great video and list Freddy. Frederique Constant Highlife Worldtime. Simply an amazing watch for the money, for those of us who can’t quite afford a Nomos or Vacheron WT. I prefer the Highlife case to the Classic for this reason, for its case and integrated bracelet and straps.
Love seeing Formex on the list. Just bought a Formex Essence 43 with a white dial, and man that is a beautifully finished watch. Between the finishing, suspension, micro adjustments and quick adjust for straps, the watch should be $5-7k and it was $1500.
I discover in each video new nice watches . It is a god surprise that BELL&ROSS built a watche for less than 5000 $ . I also like the Frederique Constant World timer . Thank you for your quality videos.
You can add the GO Senator Sixties to the list. Caliber 39-52. Excellent finishing along with amazing movement. Retail might be a little higher but still can purchase new for 5 and under.
One of the most underrated brands with the best finishing is Jaeger & Benzinger. On Wathcbuys under $5k. Similar to Christopher Ward - Behrens ( under $3k) - the one who worked with Konstantin Chaikin. Horage + - Tourbilion (under $4k) is a proprietary beautiful movement with micro-rotor purchased by Breitling. Ophion 786 -under 4k euros - guilloche, double barrels, with Voutilainen lugs, top finish. Atelier Wen - under $4k - guilloche, top movement finish - bracelet just wow.
I recently got the SBGW283, there is bracelet for this watch! It’s absolutely gorgeous. I went to the AD to checkout a lot of their sports watches and spring drives, but kept coming back to this. Absolutely stunner, perfect proportions.
Lmao imagine being this dumb, buying a Grand Seiko, when you have so many better alternatives than this glorified Seiko comes niwhere close 🤣 Enjoy your anime garbage
I just got the GS SBGA413 with the Spring drive, 9R65. Just stunningly gorgeous. I spent several hours trying on Breitlings, Omegas, Tudors and TAGs but I kept coming back to this. I know it's outside of this price range but almost every Grand Seiko has superior finishing.
These videos always get me excited then I end up down a rabbit hole. I love orange and I started looking at the Mido Multifort and in doing so i discovered the Mido Multifort Special Edition which i instantly fell in love with and cannot justify the price just yet lol.
I have the TV Big Date in blue. Stunning. Quality up there with watches several times the cost. Mido didn't have my attention previously. They certainly do now.
@@Tikkaspecial The Multifort Special Edition with the orange leather band is absolutely stunning with the black face and orange hands. Orange is my favourite colour, so finding good watch that features orange is very difficult.
Another watch worth mentioning is the Casio Oceanus S100 and T200. Both have superior case and bracelet finishing to many $4K+ watches. Both watches can be found for less than $500 new.
I just saw the nomos yesterday here in india and i did try some other watches as well but man once i saw the back of the nomos i was stunned at how beautiful it is and none came even distinctly close to that finish some even more expensive couldnt match it. It is 100% where i am putting my money next.
I agree, the poor bracelet quality and lack of appeal from the case is what kept me from buying the Snowflake…if I could put a GS dial and movement into a better case and bracelet, I would in a heartbeat.
I recently got the King seiko and the GS sbgw283, and I really love both of them. For the GS I have nothing to say, it is simply stunning and is perfect for me. With regard to the King S., even if Seiko use an average movement for this watch, I measured a very good range of precision (+6 sec. per day), so I can be satisfied with it. Furthermore, I would have added another watch to your list (that BTW remains very useful and I agree with your choices), the Omega DeVille Prestige (5000€ price list). Fantastic Watch.
The silver Black Bay 36/39/41 does not appear on the Tudor site anymore. Only the champagne color is similar. Are the photos older? The ETA version from a few years ago?
Longines, Nomos, Oris, Breitling, Grand Seiko, Bell and Ross, AnOrdain are all spot on picks. I assuming quartz watches were left off the list. If that's not the case then you must see "The Citizen" THE CITIZEN JOUNETSU COLLECTION CHRONOMASTER LIMITED MODEL AQ4020-54W. That's one fine finished piece.
I’m kind of missing the pros of the Nomos finishing. Comparing the DUW3001 to the Frederic Constant movement I see the same techniques + FC’s more eye catching rotor modification. Is it about the difference in precision of these types of finishing?
Hi Teddy, I see you wearing what I think is a Zenith chronograph, and a I wonder how much your collection may have changed since the first videos. You should do a State of the collection video!!!! :)
You should take a look at Cuervo y Sobrinos. They smoke out of the water almost every watch on that list. Founded in 1882. The design and finished are top notch.
Hi Teddy, What do you think of the Must de Cartier? I see that you never include it in any of your lists and I'm wondering if maybe it's a model that's not worth it... can anyone help me?
Agreed. I chose my Aquis over a Submariner back in 2018 because I genuinely couldn’t see what the extra cost of a Rolex was providing. The Aquis seemed better engineered, while Rolex seemed to be skating on name alone.
@Minisconv That's a very cool watch. I like that one too. Mine is the Divers 65 Auto with the kind of bronze/Yello dial. It just feels quality and they look great.
Does this watch exist? Diver 40x20x12 including glass. 47 or less lug to lug. Date option at 6. Drilled lugs or quick release bracelet. Bracelet 20 down to 16 back to 20, screw links. New style extension and 1K or less. Automatic
Longines is coming with HEAT this year 🔥
The dull Zulu Time may look nothing like the lovely vintage watch it is claiming to be inspired by, but know how 'good' they are because of the '5-star review' on the dial...
But it was really tight on his wrist?
The Zulu time is awesome. I have one and everyone loves it.
I want the green dial version of the conquest.
@Gumby56 Have a look at the new Conquest Chronograph, due to be released shortly. Amazing looking watch.
Teddy, I appreciate the time you take to index your videos. Extra work on your part but appreciated as a viewer.
Honorable mention to the Ball in-house movement. It's gorgeously finished on the Engineer M Marvelight.
I've always thought that I was only really into dive watches, but looking at Teddy's channel here has really opened my eyes up to so many other different spectacular time pieces that are not dive related that are really very interesting to me now.
Finally someone has mentioned the breitling chronomat 36. I have this watch and it's finishing superb. Nice one Teddy 👍
Finally!! THANK YOU for recognizing the finishing quality of Bell & Ross! Way too many people complain about the movement while completely overlooking the beautiful fit and finish of B&R watches. The most comfortable watch I’ve ever worn - bar none!!
why does bell and ross doesnt get much love?
@@snapfire3711gets a rep of a fashion brand watch I think?
Hey Teddy, I would love a video about bracelets specifically. Things like the Oris ProPilot X come to mind.
King Seiko ,Garyu Bai red dial loooks smashingly cool !
That Accutron is surprisingly well finished indeed!
Thanks for sharing.
That Accutron looks incredible! Not my usual cup of tea, but the smooth sweep, the spinning turbine type thingy, the dome, it totally looks like something from a 60's sci-fi series.
The King Seiko is indeed one of the best looking and finished watches below the Grand Seikos, but U do agree the movement gave me pause, considering the overall price of the watch. The redesigned Longines Conquest is a real beauty as well.
I'm a big fan of that Longine Automatic Chronometer. Beautiful piece
Love the Zenith on your wrist teddy, it's on my to get list after watching your video.
I like that GMT so much more than the regular Hydroconquest. Never liked the big 12-6-9 markers on the Hydroconquest. Absolutely love the dial of the GMT though.

Thank you Teddy for the great video. Grateful you love horology as we do. Cheers and keep well.
I watched this video and the whole time I matched watches to friends and family personalities for future gifts. Thanks 🙏🏼
Really like the Mido Multifort “Matrix” Green and the King Seiko is a great execution of those 60 sharp edges. Beautiful
Another superb presentation which goes to prove you do not need to waste your time with waiting lists, authorised dealers who act like gangsters etc , another great watches are available.
I love the finish of the movement on the Baume et Mercier Clifton Baumatic. It's a great watch for the money. The CW looks goof for the money and both Longines on the list look great.
Goof?
LETS GO he talked about the Longines Hydroconquest GMT!!
That King Seiko looks amazing, I wish they came with different dial colors.
Great video and list Freddy. Frederique Constant Highlife Worldtime. Simply an amazing watch for the money, for those of us who can’t quite afford a Nomos or Vacheron WT. I prefer the Highlife case to the Classic for this reason, for its case and integrated bracelet and straps.
More on the Accutron please Teddy. Very interesting, enjoyable episode. Thanks.
Frederique Constant Highlife and Classics watches are also finished very good and they look very Classy.
That Accutron is gorgeous - think ive fallen in love
Love seeing Formex on the list. Just bought a Formex Essence 43 with a white dial, and man that is a beautifully finished watch. Between the finishing, suspension, micro adjustments and quick adjust for straps, the watch should be $5-7k and it was $1500.
Great video, great insight as always from you. Thank you 4 whqt you are doing for the watch fans!
Hello Teddy. Could you do a video about the best affordable (brands for) boxes for watches please?
It would be very interesting.
I discover in each video new nice watches . It is a god surprise that BELL&ROSS built a watche for less than 5000 $ . I also like the Frederique Constant World timer . Thank you for your quality videos.
Thanks for the feature! Great video, Teddy.

The BB36 in silver dial looks fantastic. ❤❤
I have the FC Highlife world timer and it's my favorite in the collection of 20 watches.
I didn’t know some of these brands. I’m going to check them out. Cool!
I recently got the SBGW283, there is bracelet for this watch! It’s absolutely gorgeous. I went to the AD to checkout a lot of their sports watches and spring drives, but kept coming back to this. Absolutely stunner, perfect proportions.
Lmao imagine being this dumb, buying a Grand Seiko, when you have so many better alternatives than this glorified Seiko comes niwhere close 🤣 Enjoy your anime garbage
I'm digging that accutron.
That Bell & Ross is beautiful and a great alternative against Cartier

Yessir, I got that black bay. It’s beautiful 😍
The blue is beautiful
@@jeffreygoss8109 yes, that’s the one I have with the jubilee bracelet
I absolutely ❤ my FC WorldTimer!
Love seeing it get mentioned too
I’ve been considering getting one but have heard it requires lots of maintenance. Can you tell me more about your experience with it?
To recognise GS finishing, they need to remove that horrible stamp on the sapphire see through caseback
My Friend's King Seiko ia just amazingly finished. I never am less struck by seeing it
Another watch worth mentioning is the Casio Oceanus S100 and T200. Both have superior case and bracelet finishing to many $4K+ watches. Both watches can be found for less than $500 new.
Yes! Thanks so so much for this video!
Anordain and Grand Seiko are my favorites.
Love this content. Great stuff, Teddy
The video and information are simply spectacular.❤
wow longines are making huge styling improvements across the board this year.
Love these videos!!!!!
Love the new conquest and the fc worldtimer
I just saw the nomos yesterday here in india and i did try some other watches as well but man once i saw the back of the nomos i was stunned at how beautiful it is and none came even distinctly close to that finish some even more expensive couldnt match it. It is 100% where i am putting my money next.
Such a shame Grand Seiko don't make their own bracelets. They are such a contrast in finish vs the cases
I agree, the poor bracelet quality and lack of appeal from the case is what kept me from buying the Snowflake…if I could put a GS dial and movement into a better case and bracelet, I would in a heartbeat.
Who makes their bracelets? I have two GS and wear both on straps because their quality is horrible
Yess he featured the spaceview
I recently got the King seiko and the GS sbgw283, and I really love both of them. For the GS I have nothing to say, it is simply stunning and is perfect for me.

Fantastic Watch.
That GS in the thumbnail 😮
The silver Black Bay 36/39/41 does not appear on the Tudor site anymore. Only the champagne color is similar. Are the photos older? The ETA version from a few years ago?
Curious to see which cheap watches shine.
Great video idea!
I skip through all his videos & don’t feel like I miss out on anything.
Longines, Nomos, Oris, Breitling, Grand Seiko, Bell and Ross, AnOrdain are all spot on picks. I assuming quartz watches were left off the list. If that's not the case then you must see "The Citizen" THE CITIZEN JOUNETSU COLLECTION CHRONOMASTER LIMITED MODEL AQ4020-54W. That's one fine finished piece.
The Rado new watch Diastar it is one of a fine finishing watch you amazing.
The CW Twelve not just seems like the Czapek, it actually was designed by the guy who designed the Czapek Antarctique.
its a little frustrating to see how frequently people forget this.
Movement aside I think it looks better haha
Also, I’d like to leave my honorable mention to the Seiko 5 DressKX
I like the longines brown were i find?
I’m kind of missing the pros of the Nomos finishing. Comparing the DUW3001 to the Frederic Constant movement I see the same techniques + FC’s more eye catching rotor modification. Is it about the difference in precision of these types of finishing?
Just bought a formex field watch.. if it works exquisitely as it looks.....
I own over 40 watches and one of new favorite for finishing is Traska. It is close to my favorite JLC, Nomos, Omega and Rolex watches.
Please do a review on any of the BR05 model! would love to know your take on the model and brand. will be much appreciated!!
Great video as always!
can you do a vid on entry level Cartier watches?
The Citizen is right up there too
Hi Teddy, I see you wearing what I think is a Zenith chronograph, and a I wonder how much your collection may have changed since the first videos. You should do a State of the collection video!!!! :)
Oh wow I was expecting Baumatic movement to be included too…
Accutron, if they made a 40, I’d have one just for the geek factor.
Grand Seiko spring drive is a truly great movement , it looks cool and also is very precise . but it is too costly to buy.
What’s the mido he showed at the beginning with the orange strap
You should take a look at Cuervo y Sobrinos. They smoke out of the water almost every watch on that list. Founded in 1882. The design and finished are top notch.
Accutron interesting watch however it’s too large for my wrist. Make a 37, 38mm and I would be interested.
17:08 look at the off-center screws on that case. How can you call this good finishing?
I wouldn’t get the Mido. I almost pulled the trigger but saw numerous people having issues with the movement. The date gets stuck
Atelier Wen Perception should be mentioned as well 👌
Hey Teddy, can you pls review the Forteller Cambrian?
Great affordable luxury watches
Hi Teddy,
What do you think of the Must de Cartier? I see that you never include it in any of your lists and I'm wondering if maybe it's a model that's not worth it... can anyone help me?
Mido is remarkable
The Moonswatch is obviously up there ;)
I'm surprised that the Maurice LaCroix Aikon is not featured in this video.
I love my Oris watch. It's impressive what they're able to do with such a small amount of people. I would like to see them get more popular.
Agreed. I chose my Aquis over a Submariner back in 2018 because I genuinely couldn’t see what the extra cost of a Rolex was providing. The Aquis seemed better engineered, while Rolex seemed to be skating on name alone.
Agreed! I have the Big Crown bronze….
@Minisconv That's a very cool watch. I like that one too. Mine is the Divers 65 Auto with the kind of bronze/Yello dial. It just feels quality and they look great.
I want to see a Zulu Time vs Hydroconquest GMT off video
You should have included Titoni Seascoper 600
Hmm... changing the date between 9 and 3 is ok?
That gilted Zulu time is PHAT.
no casio oceanus?
September is going to be an exciting month for you guys. Waiting on my call :]
