A very happy Railmaster 57 owner. Bought to commemorate my late father who was an engineer. . I love the understated looks and it is a great fit on my 6.75” wrist
I bought the steel bracelet black dial Railmaster a couple months ago and put an army green NATO strap on it and absolutely love it! It matches with a ton of straps. Great video as usual Teddy!
The Grand Seiko is probably the most useful tool watch for any medical professionals. The fact that it could be worn by an interventional radiologist every day (extreme high magnetism environment), most patients don’t know what a Grand Seiko is (it isn’t like a patient seeing a Rolex on your wrist), and the fact that it is quartz for measuring heart bpm is huge - it’s essentially a doctor’s Milgauss with a deadbeat seconds complication.
Do you have any experience working in a hospital wearing any number of different brands in an “ extreme high magnetism environment “ ? Bc if you do I can tell u I work physically close to these “ environments “ and cannot tell any difference at all in performance with many brands I wear in a rotation the magnetism environment topic is very overblown…🙄🙄🙄
@@KB-vf4gzi do have that kind of experience. Since i work in MRI i jumped on this video thinking "hell yeah, maybe a watch that doesn't lose time after a shift in MRI". But with a magnetic field of AT LEAST 0,2 T [2000 gauss] every watch on this list won't do the job. Best advice: go to work, leave your watch in the car, earn your pay, turn back, wear the watch again.
@@Mister_Anders0n adding to your point, the MRI I had was 3T, which I just learned is 30,000 Gauss. I wonder if repeated exposure still magnetizes a 30000 Gauss rated watch
I found the Damasko DS30 thanks to Teddy’s videos and opted to buy one as my first luxury watch over the Sinn 556. Can honestly say I’ve never looked back and it brings me so much joy. Completely agree with the Milgauss appeal as I wear my DS30 in the labs working as a microbiologist. I know it can handle anything I throw at it, and it hasn’t shown a single scratch in the year I’ve worn it daily. So thanks for your part in that Teddy! And glad it’s getting more recognition!
Teddy, I have imported the Railmaster for a very good price and I love it! Very underrated and great value for a co-axial! Get one before it is discontinued!😊
As an SBGX341 owner, I'm not sure it's a Milgauss alternative aside from the magnetic resistance thing, but it is objectively the best watch I own (although not the most expensive or even my favourite). It's just absurdly practical.
I am Japanese.Rolex and GS are often compared in Japan.Sometimes users fight with each other. I own many watches.However, I regret that so many people speak badly of Rolex. Isn't any watch wonderful? I want to talk about what I like about watches, not what I dislike.
Hi Ted I have small wrist, just above 6 inches. I am looking for a timeless dress watch which will not burn a hole, but small in size, not thick (less than 12 mm), sapphire crystal glass. If I have to pick from hamilton khaki quartz 38mm or longines conquest 41mm black dial or Tissot pro powermatic 80 which one should I choose. TIA
Love you and your vids so much Teddy! I will say the pricepoints you mentioned I think pertain more to the black dial. Most of the Z-blue Milgauss' I've seen are around 13k+ for brand new. I got mine recently at 12.7k before taxes. While the milgauss is a unique piece that nothing else can compare to imo, you did a great job at providing some worthy alternatives!!
Another potential alternative could be the Citizen Super Titanium Promaster Tough which sadly only sold in the UK (I think). It has an anti-magnetic rating of 16000 Gauss!!
Thank you. Always loved the Milgauss. The only Rolex that made me turn my head, since I am a clueless peasant. This is great to know some alternatives exist.
Day 4 of me asking for your favorite watch from each major brand(like 10-20 brands). Go into detail on the specific model and color, and why it’s your favorite please!!
Exactly the green sapphire and the lightning second hand look is what hooked me in July when I found it. Since it's discontinued, it became a grail watch 😢
I bought a denim Railmaster 2 years ago and wear it with various NATO straps as my daily beater watch to save my PO for special occasions. Chrono24 seems to suggest that I've lost a third of its value, but I don't care, it wasn't bought as an investment. I love the subtle looks and it's one of those "if you know, you know" watches.
I definitely loved the Milgauss! I wish they’d made a larger one but to see one in the wild, you knew you’d found a special cat for them to seek that watch out and buy it.
Engineers are not a dime a dozen and the Milgauss suits them perfectly In that world, they are given as awards. The Omega Railmaster is a good second. Nothing else comes close to these two.
Hey Teddy. Do you think that the hype of "who can go deeper" will wane over time? We've already had Omega and Rolex effectively go as deep as we can go underwater, meaning that pieces used to show technological and engineering prowess in the pursuit for deeper depths and not actual practical use (Deepsea and Planet Ocean lines) could potentially fade into the background like the Milgauss did? The Deepsea challenge most certainly wont last long, but the Sea Dweller Deepsea certainly cant last much longer, can it? A dive option for a brand (Submariner in this case) as well as a piece capable of greater depths (Sea-Dweller) is certainly all a brand needs and the Deepsea line was just part of the pursuit to show off the brands capabilities more so than create a piece of practical use?
I'm a Sinn, Damasko and Ball guy for a reason. In the 2-3k range if you choose the right model, are easily the best value on the market. Other brands in this price range doesn't hold a candle to these 3 brands. They take pride in giving you a great product and meant to be used for their intended purpose.
Here’s a question… When it comes to anti-magnetism, is a mechanical or quartz movement a better option? I only ask because I was surprised to see the GS Quartz in this list.
Having owned the Black dial Milgauss and the 39mm Explorer which were purchase for their symmetrical no date dial and more specifically the absence of Rolex's god awful cyclops. The only ones I would agree with on this list would be the Rail Master and the Two Grand Seiko watches as they are the only ones with no date. All beautiful watches IMHO
I thought this was review was specifically to go over the house specifications and comparison to the milgauss honestly you only really mention the gas resistance for I think three different watches could you please put this on the notes I mean if I'm going to buy one of these from you teddy you should probably cover that in advance it would definitely help cut the research and make it a quicker pick to come from you
A watch with a date is dubious, the plain dial was one of the features I wanted. The colour was another thing. When I saw a milgauss at dealers I just went wow! It’s a funny thing about the date on so many watches. The main thing I have always wanted to know is what day it is, so how did we finish up with this situation where I have to pick up my Rip Curl to find out its Thursday? And the tide is out.
I bought my Z-Blue Milgauss from an AD only a matter of weeks before it was discontinued. Needless to say I paid retail. I’ll admit that the quality, fit and finish of Omega is probably just as good as Rolex. Both make an excellent product. But there is something about the Rolex that sets is above the others. I don’t know how to define it but the Rolex makes me feel a certain way when I put it on and the other brands don’t come close.
@@jakdexter2832 More than a year latter and I still love my Z Blue Milgauss. However I've added an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Terracotta Red to my collection and in some ways I like it even better than the Rolex. I'm crazy about the bright red dial and the display case back. I get lots of complements on it. If I had to chose only one watch it's hard to say which one it'd be. They're both great timepieces.
I love the Railmaster. I think it's absolutely gorgeous.
The Milgauss always been my grail watch, I think nothing is like it ! The Lightning bolt second hand with the green glass is just very unique
I love it when Teddy whips out the Balls. Red Balls are popular, but blue Balls are probably the most common.

Huge Damasko fan here. Have 3 of them and they are all awesome. My DS30 yellow second hand, is one of the watches in my collection I wear the most.
Currently considering the DS30 over the 556. Good to hear there is no looking back!
Add Certina ds action day-date: 200m WR + antimagnetic Nivachron spring
I thought I'd see the Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium mentioned here - antimagnetic and under $1k.
The Denim Railmaster is much more versatile than you'd think. It's become my "exit watch", when I've had a few more up-scale pieces come and go.
Teddy, I have imported the Railmaster for a very good price and I love it! Very underrated and great value for a co-axial! Get one before it is discontinued!😊
I remember when the collective hated the Milgauss. Rolex discontinues it and suddenly everyone needs to have one lol
I'm not a big rolex person but I remember liking the Milgauss and wanting one. Of course with that in my mind as a goal, rolex discontinues it 🤣
Not really. Secondary market value barely blipped up and is now settled hardly above the old retail of $9100.
The Milgauss is one of the quirky watches in Rolex’s history. Just like the AirKing. They are both watches for the enthusiast, not for the show off.
@thomasreilly That's just your preferred take on it I think.
Its Teddy that's bringing it up here remember ;)
As an SBGX341 owner, I'm not sure it's a Milgauss alternative aside from the magnetic resistance thing, but it is objectively the best watch I own (although not the most expensive or even my favourite). It's just absurdly practical.
The milgauss was a truly unique anachronism with quirk and style ... none of those came close (but I love your videos)
What colour is that aqua terra dial shown at 5:10 ?
Work around large magnetic fields, went with the Omega AT. Love it!

Thank you Teddy. Great insight in the fact that there is an ocean of fantastic Rolex alternatives.

Nothing beats the Zblue Milgauss imho. So pleased I got one from the AD last year. One of my favourites.

Thank you. Always loved the Milgauss. The only Rolex that made me turn my head, since I am a clueless peasant. This is great to know some alternatives exist.
I'd like to see the Omega Bumble Bee but with the date window moved to the 6 o'clock position and a black lacquered dial. I'm not a fan of the teak.
Love my Sinn U50! I am glad you featured Damasko!
The Grand Seiko is amazing looking in person, it also has an amazing lume.
I’m looking for an Omega Bikemaster. Something to ride around town with. Maybe 1600.
How is milgaus anti magnetic properties compare to that of a genetic quartz watch? Thanks
Day 4 of me asking for your favorite watch from each major brand(like 10-20 brands). Go into detail on the specific model and color, and why it’s your favorite please!!
Another alternative to the above stated ones could be a Mido Multifort COSC certified. They retail for about 1200$ from what I remember.
I have the Omega "Bumble Bee"...been loving it ever since.

Engineers are not a dime a dozen and the Milgauss suits them perfectly In that world, they are given as awards. The Omega Railmaster is a good second. Nothing else comes close to these two.
Hallo Teddy, just fell in love with the omega bumble bee. I will look into that, thanks and as always love from Switzerland 🇨🇭
No Ball Magneto S? I love that iris display case back. You really dropped the "Ball" Teddy.
Some nice choices. I love the Sinn, just great. The grand seiko watches I wasn’t aware of very interesting design
Thank you
You didn’t mention the Eberhard & Co. Scientigraf. This watch (and brand) seems to be completely off the radar in the US.
Great selection of watches Teddy, great video.
I absolutely love my rail master. My Aquaterra day date is sooo thick that I find the rail master on my wrist more often.
in order of my preference Ωmega Aqua terra Ball Sinn Damasco of course all are fine time pieces 💪👍👏😍😍
I think you forgot to mention the tissot gentleman power 80
Wow the Citizen!!!! 😍😍😍

Pushing the capabilities of horological engineering is not hype, it's the point
Teddy, please make a video guide to "What is an engineer watch?" Not just features, but also history. Thank you!
These are very good alternatives to that watch, some are even better in terms of anti-magnetism. But I miss that z blue color
I miss the old location 😢 what happened to the office ?

Oh ya the ball is amazing
Great list of alternatives! Love seeing so many old and new!
Guys…how much would you expect a second hand 2023 Omega Aqua terra to cost. What would you say the depreciation would be.
Hi Love your vids👍Have you ever done your own watch collection video?Think that would be so interesting.Thankyou👍
Review Ciga blue planet and Xeric brand watches
I love that Milgauss lightning bolt second hand.
Excellent video, for me 2 winners Omega Railmaster and Grand Seiko
Shouldn't Omega's Railmaster be the alternative? Just wondering...
TY,,,,,,WOW incredible very interesting great information super kool,
AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ ,keep up the great work
Figured I'd see the Longines Ultra-Chron mentioned in this line up.
I have the white one. It's super versatile, and I don't think I'll ever sell it.
I guess the next thing in watches should be a range finding function.
A true hunters watch.
I have a bamford x rolex milgauss & i luv it
Railmaster denim is still my favourite watch
Ingineur gauss spec?
My Ball Marvelight is one of my favorites. It gets a lot of wear and a lot of comments.
....Omega Aquaterra to me....and to me it's actually not and "alternative" but the way to go 😃
Here’s a question… When it comes to anti-magnetism, is a mechanical or quartz movement a better option? I only ask because I was surprised to see the GS Quartz in this list.
I'd think a quartz would be better since the movement is so much simpler, hence less pieces to potentially become magnetized.
great topic !!!
Most of the new movements of the SWATCH Group can resist 15,000 gauss. Now a Mido can beat the Milgauss in magnetic resistance.
Guinand has a good antimagnetic watch, the Flight Engineer for around 1500 euros. Guinand was founded by Helmut Sinn after he left Sinn.
New Christopher Ward C63 Dragonfly Blue certainly has a Milgauss vibe
I've always seen the tissot gentleman a pretty good and cheaper alternative for the milgauss

And what about the Zelos Aurora ?
Every current Rolex model is an alternative to the Milgaus.
Because every current Rolex movement can withstand more than 1000 gauss.
absolutely love the railmaster, but the clasp is a let down.
My pockets only allowed me to get a Pagani Design version.
Hardly the same but it reminds me of the real one.
Guinand Flight Engineer . Sweet !
I love this channel.
Pls make a video on the latest release by Bangalore watch company. Mach1 Admiral
Dude it's an Indian watch.
@@troll2637Yeah. Am an Indian as well
The milgauss is an enigma wrapped in a mystery contained in a puzzle. In other words - it’s baffling. But it kinda works.
My ‘Blugauss’ is one of my forever watches… mow, even more so.
Hopefully they make a less chunky Milgauss if it ever comes back.
I think you should of have added Mondaine watches. They are very railway orientated
Never understood the hype on the milgauss.
The green glass was cool but i would take an Aqua Terra over the milgauss all day for the price difference
