I love all the watches but I am still waiting to find a better alternative for a Rolex Explorer II the Tudor comes close but it is not quite there for me. However the new Grand Seiko evolution GMT is gorgeous will have to see one in the metal though

I own a Seamaster Diver in white as my weekend watch and a BB58 for everyday. I think it’s better to have them both than the sub, I paid a little more for both of them though. Cheers.

@steffschweizer Жыл бұрын

Nathan, what you mean with better? You mean aesthetically to YOUR liking? Because there is guaranteed nothing like its better if the parameters aren’t defined. But as I go for aesthetic’s first, there is many I go for first. Grand Seiko pretty much up there. But then its as I said, I like their design language a lot and thats what attracts me to GS over Rolex. But at the end they are both great watches and people should buy more what they really like and not what someone told them or is “in”. There is so many interesting watches out there.

Seriously. I have one of their LUC Sport 2000s and, on top of the technical prowess, it has the level of finishing that you’d expect from a brand with such a jewelry heritage. Also incredibly versatile, whether dressed down on a rubber strap or a steel bracelet, or peacocking with some exotic leather like ostrich or alligator.

Pro divers wear Citizen. The best for the job. What watch people think of as divers wouldn’t even be in the realm of consideration. Other side of the coin: Watch people don’t generally wear citizen, despite the quality and innovation. Citizen sells the first titanium watch back in 1970s. Watch people ignore. Rolex makes its first titanium watch in 2022. Watch people call it “innovation”.

If you don't want to spend big bucks on a Rolex Daytona or Omega Speedmaster you can always buy the Seiko Solar Speedtimer. They have a 39MM version and newer 41MM version both of which are great watches for people with small wrists. Unlike many cheaper Seiko watches this comes with sapphire crystal and fairly decent bracelet with a milled clasp. I would buy one but I already got the Seiko Alpinist SPB155.

It’s sad that the only way we can discuss watches that aren’t Rolexes is by framing them in relativity to Rolex, who are consistently the least interesting brand in terms of design and engineering. Their marketing and sales techniques are, of course, peerless and industry-leading, which is why I’d rather keep the conversation around Rolex restricted to luxury marketing seminars and let actual watch collectors freely appreciate and share watches on their own terms.

@DonLee1980 Жыл бұрын

Most of the watches brought up here use leather or rubber straps. Mostly because it's really hard to make a mass produced bracelet as comfortable and good looking as Rolex's, without straight up copying their design. Most Rolex watch buyers prefer sports watches on bracelets, so that means most of the watches suggested here wouldn't be ever considered.

@M_MTsc Жыл бұрын

Great video. I would have thrown in a Glasshutte Original in there too. I've scratched my Rolex itch, and as much as I love my GMT II, my GS GMT makes me feel all fuzzy. I get it now. It's amazing how a brand name, Rolex, have so much persuading power.

I have every expectation that this will be my only Rolex .. ever. Cuz I don’t earn Rolex money. But I do have two lovely Tudors (an S&G Chrono, and an S&G GMT). As well as to Bremont watches (one recently bought for an utter bargain that would make you cry). But my urge for Rolex has been satisfied. I always thought I wanted a GMT Master II … but it turns out I wanted a Rolex I could, and would, actually wear. I love Bremont watches but they are massively overpriced as new. However, second hand you can get them for a much more digestible price. And frankly .. Tudor is where it’s at .. as far as Rolex goes. Buy Tudor, instead of hype.

I know it's like an over-played song on the radio, but I'm just as smitten with my shield Root beer GMT as I am with my crown Root beer GMT, but the former is near to being one third the price of the latter. 1926 one quarter the price of a Datejust. You covered the BB Pro/Explorer 2 story, and the Pelagos 39 or BB58 chime in at similarly lower prices than a Sub. Not to mention that somehow the "Rolexification" of the B01 movement in turning it into an MT5813 makes for an arguably better performing movement in Tudor trim for the BB Chrono, than the Breitlings from which the movement was sourced, at around half the price of the Breitlings. So let's not limit the cheaper and better arguments to Rolex comparisons...

Best Rolex Daytona alternative...? The Timex Q chronograph reverse panda. There, I said it.

As a former Submariner, I always wanted a Submariner. But i personally don't like the practices of Rolex. (they produce a Million watches a year) and no AD has one... that's bullshit. I've since started on a watch journey, Rado Captain Cook, most comfortable watch ever, Longines Hydro Conquest (in grey) and my latest, The Tudor Ranger. I no longer want a Rolex and to be honest, the 39mm Zulu Time is looking really hot atm. Rolex is dead to me.

Rolex has become predictable and boring....for the money, there's SO many better and smaller watch companies, that are 1000 times more exciting.

In Canada my AD says there are no waiting list. It's easy to hate these guys.

I think that every serious collector needs 1 Rolex. I have a grey dial Yacht Master, and I love it. It's also likely my last. Patek, AP, VC, FPJ is what I collect. Those are art pieces. We aren't really buy watches cuz we need them. There's no point to buy a watch that doesn't have character, or isn't artistically made.

If I had the $$ it would be a Grand Seiko

No Rolex for me ever, I don't play those games. I have G.S. chronograph GMT spring drive, my everyday is a Seiko sharp edge GMT or steinhart Ocean one titanium 500 GMT. If I want dress watch I have an 18k 1950's longines flagship, various other timepieces I love too.

The Sinn UX laughs in the face of the sea dweller, or any other so called tough diver come to think of it. Tegimented case, 10k water resistance in an oil filled case without a helium escape valve in sight. Probably the toughest diver to be had?

Well... I had you lost till JLC because for that money you don't care about quality so much as status; but that JLC.... I would rather have that than Rolex. Thank you.
