Love my SBGX341! GS really nailed it w/this unique case design that’s rugged and stylish. Original and refreshing, and in an unusual twist for GS, bicolor lume and a perfect porcelain like dial. The white dial seems simple compared to many of GS’s other offerings, but under the macro, it’s flawless; that’s harder to do on a pure white dial. The way GS incorporated elements from their very first watch, all the way to the newer Evo9 design cues is absolutely seamless. The crown at 4 has a utilitarian aesthetic, and also hints at the original 62 GS; it’s an inside joke, meaning you don’t have to wind it. Super compact, comfortable, and fun; it’s a luxury watch w/impressive tech and history, and it’s also quite a strap monster. Currently have mine on a grey Artem hydro flex strap. Thanks always for the great content!
Very true, although I do think it has been rediscovered. I found it interesting Watch Crunch chose to highlight the North Flag as a sub $3k because I’ve never seen it below that price. In fact I’ve seen it go for as much as $4K on the secondary market, probably because it’s a Tudor with an integrated bracelet that’s no longer in production.
I think that the most overlooked watches belong to the Lineage line from Casio. They offer almost everything you can get in a whole watch industry in nice and versatile package. I know that some of us just can't accept the digital screen on the dial, but it keeps the functions without making the watch crumped and illegible. I just love that they are entirely maintenance-free with multiband 6 and solar charging. If you prefer analog alternative with similar specs, the Oceanus watches (especially S100) are worth the shot.
@@ernestomaj8284 The Oceanus range is superior to the Linage range and as they're mostly JDM models, you're less likely to see people outside of Japan wearing them.
I wear a divers 65 (the hodinkee 38mm green dial one) as my daily. really really amazing watch, feels thin and subtle and vintage but with all the benefits of modern tech. and the bracelet is just amazing, it's so thin and comfortable. and it works with all the clothes I wear since the green is like a muted forest neutral green
I was lucky enough to purchase a brand new (box, papers and stickers still applied) Tudor North Flag back in March 2024. It took me many many years to find the perfect one and finally to pull the trigger. I have loved the non-conventional Tudor design since it came out in 2015. The problem is I'm afraid of wearing it since it's so rare... I know... I know... I'm guilty! 😅 Great video! Great content!
It's been a while, but the YT algo popped this up....Good to be back. The Tudor has been on my list for a few yrs now. Just coming back from HK, no luck again only one on canvas which I passed. Not to be outdone picked up another hit list so not a total loss. BTW prices are falling more in HK, expect the world to follow. Thx as always M, outstanding camera work, and kudos for continuing to make this hobby enjoyable!!
You know one watch that I don’t see too many people talk about and it’s a great watch. It’s an omega semester 120 whether it is pre-era bond but it’s a very good every day watch and no one does. A community is talking about it. You only find a few videos online. I watch your videos a lot. I like your mindset how we look at watch collecting !! a lot of of us look at it for the trial of the chase of finding something unique it’s like digging for gold. Some other people just wanna get one grill watching I said, but no one has seen talking about the omega 120 in this channel, you have seen it before and if you had talk about it, I apologize thank you so much for all your information all the time and the list now I will take the grand seiko✅
Nice picks! I love the Oris, I guess that I will have to get one one day... The accuracy of those GS quartz watches is outstanding. I have mine for 11 months now. So far it runs +/- 0 seconds!
I’ve always been attracted to the North Flag. Love the clean, simple dial then that splash of activity/color with the PR indicator…love that circle configuration!
Absolutely want one of those Tudor North Flag's. Just got my first Tudor, a ranger heritage - the 2014 release. That'll surely be a collector favourite, a really great watch, and they've. probably dropped the ball a little with their next iteration.
Nice review,sir! Just found and picked up the Northflag. About a week on the wrist and love it. 7.25-inch wrist. Only +5 seconds in 7 days. Power reserve is a fun feature.
got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on amzwatch 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.
I actually wear a blue dial Railmaster daily, but not on the denim NATO. It's usually on either a brown Chromexcel leather strap, or a Watch Steward single pass strap. Awesome watch.
I like the classic watches also. 1949 Omega stainless seamaster and 1969 Zodiac aerospace GMT. I bought the Zodiac new and have had the Omega for about 45 years now. I don`t wear them all the time, just now and then, but they both run just fine.
Rocking my O Railmaster Denim!! I love this forgotten gem. I bought it on the denim strap and bought a Forstner oyster style bracelet. Nice vid !!! The Tudor is catching my attention.
Super happy to see my beloved Tudor Northflag just the day I am wearing for a party ! Yep, the Explorer of the future and I think a very nice "car" watch thanks to the power meter / gas indicator :). I enjoy it very much and was fortunate enough to find a NOS one in a small jewelry in my city in 2023. Although of my experience in the market is around 4k approx and sometimes going up.
Now that’s a truly, or dare I say seriously cool video! Please don’t stop making these as that’s definitely a breath of fresh air! GS got me really intrigued 😊
I've had my eye on those Oris dive watches for awhile now. Love the retro SCUBA details. Thanks for the heads up on that GS. I'm not opposed to a quality quartz like that one. A real sleeper.
I like the dial of the North Flag, but not the case. The Railmaster is nice! But the one I'd rock every day would be the Oris. I love those numerals. The proportions would work perfectly with my 7" wrist. And well, I just like divers.
Great video , i suscribe to the channel. I am a collector of second hand watches since a decade, i bought and resold a lot, the two watches that always stayed in my collection are Tudor Northflag and Omega Railmaster (not denim, a regular one). It's defintely two keepers, great for everyday.
I just got my first “nice” watch this past week - a North Flag on a strap. It was between that and the denim dial Railmaster, which I will pick up as my second watch at some point in the future. And this was before I saw this video!
My watch was purchased 2 years ago from MAMACOO and, to this day, it still looks and runs as well as it did the day it arrived. That movement has never missed a beat despite never having been serviced. I can't complain about that.
Ah, the North Flag! One of my grail watches, I thin Tudor shoul relaunch the design even if we're in just the tail of the integrated bracelets. Thank you for the video.
This is now my favourite watch channel on TH-cam , such great content and done superbly, well done sir and I got my favourite watch at MAMACOO， it hasn’t left my wrist for weeks
I am a SUCKER for multicolored lume. Such a cool touch on that GS. Really classy looking in the light, but in the dark, it's got a wild side. Great video. That Oris is an awesome watch as well.
Max, you know i love your Channel as your #1 parisien french fan Guy, still 3 k, IS a lot when you don't have much, i wish i had that Tudor.... Frédéric.
Formex Essence, Omega Quartz Aqua Terra, Seiko Astron -the ultimate travel watch/world timer. Those three watches are all $2,000 dollars or so, and they are all fantastic. The Omega is not finished as nicely as the other two, but it has the big name. The Seiko first and second gen watches are insane. The models over $1500 are just as good, mostly. If you get a low-wear Astron, Seiko charges $407 for a full service. The watch will be perfect after that. You can easily find even the $3500 models for $1,200, with many of the strap models costing less. So a good case watch for $500 plus $407 plus $350 for a new strap is $1257. A $3500 premium full bracelet model will set you back $1200, so $1607 after service, and they are like new. Seiko Astron has the best titanium finishing anywhere. The watches look and feel luxurious on a level that one really cannot get for under $10,000. If you need automatic, buy the Formex. Monta is another great option.
I love that Oris! I have a Grand Prix Oris that gets worn some every month! I have a JeanRichard Diverscope (parent company Girard Perregaux) with vanilla scented rubber watch band! I love all sorts of watches.. Thanks for your usual great content!!
I just bought a Railmaster denim w/ bracelet for $3K from the 1916 Company (formerly Watchbox). It was never worn, originally purchased 12/23 so there’s 4+ years of Omega warranty remaining. Very happy indeed.
I think Tudor made a mistake dropping the north flag. If they changed it to be a bit smaller and offered different accent colours it would be more popular I think. I really enjoyed this video, it was a good topic choice
Thank you for your great coverage of watches. I would add one microbrand's watch that is really inexpensive - the Lorier Gemini. It's an automatic movement watch in a chronograph style. Would be interested in your thoughts on that. Thanks.
I don’t wear it much anymore but I have a Longines Conquest 38 or 39. I actually ended up putting it on a leather strap. It was a beautiful piece. Not was is
What makes the North Flag a non-starter for me is the integrated bracelet. If it had had a standard lug width it would have been infinitely more appealing and a strap monster. A perfect style to match with rubber or natos.
The North Flag is one hell of a watch and Tudor has nothing in the lineup that is similar to it. I grabbed myself one this year in mint condition. Very underrated watch.
Not a bad trio. I do agree in regards to that particular divers 65 being better than most other 65’s, but IMO the Hodinkee LE 65 with the green dial is the ultimate 65. And I like the north flag, but like you said, it wears too large and chunky. Finally, that GS seems like a decent option, but I think their previous gen quartz GMT models (with the crown at 3) are the go to GS sports option.
Hey, Max. It’s funny you added the Railmaster. Federico just mentioned it in his Q&A this week about it being an incredible watch at under $3000 used. Be careful! You and Fed are starting to think alike!
These are some great watches! Good picks. The North Flag has a great bracelet and case design. I just can’t love the dial. Looks like something from a 1990s video game. Neither classic nor modern
I bought a watch from MAMACOO lightly used for my last milestone birthday. Don't wear it as much as it deserves, but not afraid to, either. It's stunning . Good taste, Sir.
The GS quartz would be my pick. The divers 65 is another great watch though. The Oris Aquis cherry red is my daily driver. It's fantastic. I haven't gotten tired of it even after three years. I just wished Oris hadn't tried to go "up market". The brand used to feel like a company that was in the average watch geek's corner. They made good quality watches with character for a reasonable price. What more could you ask for? Nowadays, the same watches are almost $1000 more. What changed with them?
Cool vid and gave a 👍, too. Ok, I'd use all of them on a rotation, lol but if I had to choose 1 as my daily.. it would be that Oris ! Being a skin diver and that dial color calls my style
That Oris is super cool, I just wish they smoothed out the sharp edge on the crown - it really digs into the back of the wrist. But that dome crystal and overall aesthetic is awesome! I went scuba diving with mine with no issues. Really quite a well built watch for the price, except for my gripes with the crown. Not as good as the black bay, but close
I need to see that denim Railmaster in the metal. That dial looks so damn good. Admired it for years from afar. Already have the 2503.52 Railmaster so can’t justify having both in the collection…so my bank account keeps telling me.
Love the watches and the production as usual. I thought it sounded like you were reading a script that wasn't your own. Having script writers is good, just make sure you have a really strong English editor.
I always thought they should have made the North Flag in Titanium to help tie it with the Pelagos as Tudor’s “modern tool watch” range. If they reintroduced the north flag in titanium at 36-39mm I would buy it in a second
Cool video and btw! I hate you! Now i want that North Flag! The GS is actually quite nice in person, my friend has one and its a nice piece. The railmaster denim is my favorite from your list and i love wearing it BUT i hate that denim strap! I wear it on the bracelet and love that even the bracelet is full brushed! Also, i have a rough side up brick color leather strap that matches perfectly with the second hand and it looks awesome on it.
Great watches: the Oris is a strange love affair. I went to a watch shop which by coincidence had the Oris which I love from head to toe, and a Marathon Search & Rescue (which I wasn’t familiar with) which is a chunky watch, each has the same movement, the Marathon has no exhibition back. The turning point: turned the bezel of each one, the Oris was very nice but the gripping surface was too small to my liking, tried the Marathon: WOW! lots of gripping surface! Did a small research about Marathon: used by Military Forces in U.S., Canada, and other services (Search & Rescue). Available with an equivalent of Superluminova but brighter & last longer OR with Tritium tubes. Went the day after and got the Marathon and very happy with my choice! 👌❤️👍 N.B.: I personally had an Omega 300 series watch which I wasn’t impressed with the bezel at all, which I sold back afterwards (bezel grippiness is a turning point for me! Seiko has a family of high precision quartz watches which should be looked at! The Tudor North Flag is an under the radar watch which is a gem, and probably my next to purchase watch. The Denim Omega is another gem too! All the best, Johnny
i would go for the Tudor north flag . and i guess power reserve indicator has a useful function to insure that your watch is fully wound when left for sleeping or holiday etc .
Why have a power reserve on an automatic watch? Because people don’t wear the same watch every day and they don’t want to reset the date and time every time they put it on. I wear the Snowflake a few days a week. If the power reserve is low, I either wear it or wind it.
Oris used to be great, now that they decided for some reason to try and go up stream are no longer a value prop watch. I would get a used Oris with the ETA before getting the untested in-house movements they are using now. You can get the more reliability at a lesser price point. It just makes no sense to buy anything new from Oris anymore. Maybe we will get lucky and they get bought by Swatch.
If you go this way... I had a Longines Conquest 38 mm yesterday on my wrist (blue dial) and for the price you have an excellent watch. The quality is here, finishing is top notch and the movement is fine, better than the sellita of the Oris. I had the tudor Black bay too and frankly the Longines for near half the price impressed me
I'd normally lean towards the Oris because it's the "little guy" but it's a diver and I'm really bored by dive watches, the GS is nice but I don't like the use of batteries, I have huge respect for spring drive and will have one one day but the 9F unfortunately needs a battery, that leaves the North Flag and the Railmaster and I'd be very happy with either, though I wouldn''t swap my Damasko for either.
Omega Rail Master Denim is also a Master Chronometer....something that is often overlooked!
Love my SBGX341!
GS really nailed it w/this unique case design that’s rugged and stylish. Original and refreshing, and in an unusual twist for GS, bicolor lume and a perfect porcelain like dial. The white dial seems simple compared to many of GS’s other offerings, but under the macro, it’s flawless; that’s harder to do on a pure white dial.
The way GS incorporated elements from their very first watch, all the way to the newer Evo9 design cues is absolutely seamless. The crown at 4 has a utilitarian aesthetic, and also hints at the original 62 GS; it’s an inside joke, meaning you don’t have to wind it.
Super compact, comfortable, and fun; it’s a luxury watch
w/impressive tech and history, and it’s also quite a strap monster. Currently have mine on a grey Artem hydro flex strap.
Thanks always for the great content!
Ooo I gotta try it on a strap!
The Tudor North Flag was released before its time. This watch would be extremely popular in today’s market.
Agreed! Especially if they made it a bit thinner
So true!
I agree. Tudor as a brand has also improved their bracelets and other components of the watch so maybe it’s time to bring it back better than ever.
it's a thicc one for sure
Very true, although I do think it has been rediscovered. I found it interesting Watch Crunch chose to highlight the North Flag as a sub $3k because I’ve never seen it below that price. In fact I’ve seen it go for as much as $4K on the secondary market, probably because it’s a Tudor with an integrated bracelet that’s no longer in production.
The Tudor looks really nice, the first model from the brand which really grabbed me. Thanks as always for your channel and the community.
Thank you my friend 🙏
Love my north flag. Got it about a year ago thinking I would just check it out and move it on. I fell in love, and it’s never leaving.
I think that the most overlooked watches belong to the Lineage line from Casio.
They offer almost everything you can get in a whole watch industry in nice and versatile package. I know that some of us just can't accept the digital screen on the dial, but it keeps the functions without making the watch crumped and illegible.
I just love that they are entirely maintenance-free with multiband 6 and solar charging.
If you prefer analog alternative with similar specs, the Oceanus watches (especially S100) are worth the shot.
My Oceanus has so far kept me from buying a Grand Seiko!
@@Lee-pf2uv I am talking about lineage line, not Casio as a whole
@@ernestomaj8284 The Oceanus range is superior to the Linage range and as they're mostly JDM models, you're less likely to see people outside of Japan wearing them.

Absolutely want one of those Tudor North Flag's. Just got my first Tudor, a ranger heritage - the 2014 release. That'll surely be a collector favourite, a really great watch, and they've. probably dropped the ball a little with their next iteration.
Such a classic!

Like the first 3! The orsis especially
Formex Essence, Omega Quartz Aqua Terra, Seiko Astron -the ultimate travel watch/world timer.
Those three watches are all $2,000 dollars or so, and they are all fantastic. The Omega is not finished as nicely as the other two, but it has the big name.
The Seiko first and second gen watches are insane. The models over $1500 are just as good, mostly. If you get a low-wear Astron, Seiko charges $407 for a full service. The watch will be perfect after that. You can easily find even the $3500 models for $1,200, with many of the strap models costing less. So a good case watch for $500 plus $407 plus $350 for a new strap is $1257. A $3500 premium full bracelet model will set you back $1200, so $1607 after service, and they are like new.
Seiko Astron has the best titanium finishing anywhere. The watches look and feel luxurious on a level that one really cannot get for under $10,000.
If you need automatic, buy the Formex. Monta is another great option.
I love that Oris! I have a Grand Prix Oris that gets worn some every month! I have a JeanRichard Diverscope (parent company Girard Perregaux) with vanilla scented rubber watch band! I love all sorts of watches.. Thanks for your usual great content!!

North Flag, hands down!
I just bought a Railmaster denim w/ bracelet for $3K from the 1916 Company (formerly Watchbox). It was never worn, originally purchased 12/23 so there’s 4+ years of Omega warranty remaining. Very happy indeed.
I think Tudor made a mistake dropping the north flag. If they changed it to be a bit smaller and offered different accent colours it would be more popular I think.
I really enjoyed this video, it was a good topic choice
I loooooove the North Flag but never see any for sale and slowly forgot about it. I need to keep my eyes open and maybe pick one up next 🤔
Thanks my friend! Totally agree with you
Great picks there, I like every option.
Out of those, the Grand Seiko is for me. Just a meticulously crafted watch - perfect for me.
Thank you for your great coverage of watches. I would add one microbrand's watch that is really inexpensive - the Lorier Gemini. It's an automatic movement watch in a chronograph style. Would be interested in your thoughts on that. Thanks.

I bought a watch from MAMACOO lightly used for my last milestone birthday. Don't wear it as much as it deserves, but not afraid to, either. It's stunning . Good taste, Sir.
I submit the Tudor Heritage Advisor. A titanium alarm watch at nearly half the original price.
This is a great watch
Very interesting piece!
I've read that the movement is unusual, causing less reliability and not easy to work on, fyi ~
The GS quartz would be my pick.
The divers 65 is another great watch though. The Oris Aquis cherry red is my daily driver. It's fantastic. I haven't gotten tired of it even after three years. I just wished Oris hadn't tried to go "up market". The brand used to feel like a company that was in the average watch geek's corner.

I need to see that denim Railmaster in the metal. That dial looks so damn good. Admired it for years from afar. Already have the 2503.52 Railmaster so can’t justify having both in the collection…so my bank account keeps telling me.
The dial is crazy!
I love that Oris!
Oris for sure low cost and much better looking with unique styling
That is the Oris Diver 65 dial I would love to add to my collection. All 3 are good choices.
Probably my fav of the 3
sad that the railmaster has been discontinued, was such a great watch!
I have the Brushed metal version of the Railmaster, it's a fantastic watch.
that was incredible. what a beautiful watch and what great work you did on it!AMZWATCH
Love the watches and the production as usual. I thought it sounded like you were reading a script that wasn't your own. Having script writers is good, just make sure you have a really strong English editor.
I like the Oris very much !
Great video very informative
Thats so funny I was just talking watches with a friend saying that my 2 favourite brands are Tudor and Oris. 😊😊😊
I always thought they should have made the North Flag in Titanium to help tie it with the Pelagos as Tudor’s “modern tool watch” range. If they reintroduced the north flag in titanium at 36-39mm I would buy it in a second
The Omega Denim would be my pick.
If the Tudor Ranger had the North Flag hands, I would buy one.
Cool video and btw! I hate you! Now i want that North Flag!
The GS is actually quite nice in person, my friend has one and its a nice piece. The railmaster denim is my favorite from your list and i love wearing it BUT i hate that denim strap! I wear it on the bracelet and love that even the bracelet is full brushed! Also, i have a rough side up brick color leather strap that matches perfectly with the second hand and it looks awesome on it.
I have owned the 65 for 9 years and still wear it 5-10 days a month.
While popularity doesn’t always mean it’s a good watch, having no popularity means there is definitively something not right with the watch.
Great watches: the Oris is a strange love affair. I went to a watch shop which by coincidence had the Oris which I love from head to toe, and a Marathon Search & Rescue (which I wasn’t familiar with) which is a chunky watch, each has the same movement, the Marathon has no exhibition back.
The turning point: turned the bezel of each one, the Oris was very nice but the gripping surface was too small to my liking, tried the Marathon: WOW! lots of gripping surface! Did a small research about Marathon: used by Military Forces in U.S., Canada, and other services (Search & Rescue). Available with an equivalent of Superluminova but brighter & last longer OR with Tritium tubes. Went the day after and got the Marathon and very happy with my choice! 👌❤️👍
N.B.: I personally had an Omega 300 series watch which I wasn’t impressed with the bezel at all, which I sold back afterwards (bezel grippiness is a turning point for me!
Seiko has a family of high precision quartz watches which should be looked at!
The Tudor North Flag is an under the radar watch which is a gem, and probably my next to purchase watch.
The Denim Omega is another gem too!
All the best,
Johnny
That Grand Seiko is clean
i would go for the Tudor north flag . and i guess power reserve indicator has a useful function to insure that your watch is fully wound when left for sleeping or holiday etc .
Yes, I like the power reserve!
LOVE MY SEIKO
Please, tell us more about the Railmaster! Definitely grail worthy 👍
Why have a power reserve on an automatic watch? Because people don’t wear the same watch every day and they don’t want to reset the date and time every time they put it on. I wear the Snowflake a few days a week. If the power reserve is low, I either wear it or wind it.
I ve got this bracelet on my GS ...the best i ever had on a watch. Better than the Rolex one
I wish I didn't already have a tool/field watch, I love the railmaster but can't justify the price right now.
The Tudor & the Omega are on Top of my "to buy" list. Both discontinued......
Oris used to be great, now that they decided for some reason to try and go up stream are no longer a value prop watch. I would get a used Oris with the ETA before getting the untested in-house movements they are using now. You can get the more reliability at a lesser price point. It just makes no sense to buy anything new from Oris anymore. Maybe we will get lucky and they get bought by Swatch.
Any of the COSC Aqua Terra models are a great value on the secondary market. There is a dial color way and movement choice for everyone’s tastes.
Yes, I bought one 😀
If you go this way... I had a Longines Conquest 38 mm yesterday on my wrist (blue dial) and for the price you have an excellent watch. The quality is here, finishing is top notch and the movement is fine, better than the sellita of the Oris. I had the tudor Black bay too and frankly the Longines for near half the price impressed me
I'd normally lean towards the Oris because it's the "little guy" but it's a diver and I'm really bored by dive watches, the GS is nice but I don't like the use of batteries, I have huge respect for spring drive and will have one one day but the 9F unfortunately needs a battery, that leaves the North Flag and the Railmaster and I'd be very happy with either, though I wouldn''t swap my Damasko for either.
The 65 is super comfortable but that NF is grail worthy
So good!
