So entertaining I'm tempted to buy one of your novels to see if it's as full of running gags. I'd swap out the Longines for the Omega CK859 as a sector favourite. The Explorer is that friend who never says or does anything to offend or upset you, is always there when you need them and never upstages you. If I wore that VC, beautiful as it is, it would be like Marty Feldman accompanying Uma Thurman.

Nice video with some exceptional watches for their simplicity, high quality and good taste!!! But for me, the perfect watch on that list is the Omega Speedmaster, I had 19 different version of it, and of all of them, the one I liked the best was the one with automatic Caliber 1045 in a Moonwatch case. It had Day-Date at 3, Concentric minute and seconds chrono hands, 24-hr indicator at 12, 12-hr counter at 6, and running seconds at 9, was water proof to 100 meters, beat at 28800 VPH, had Column Wheel and Vertical Clutch, anti-magnetic, and had luminous indicators. Lamentably, I stupidly sold it in 2009...........

The Credor dial is absolute perfection especially when compared to my Octopus Kraken Barakuda knock off which I have skilfully improved with a Dymo printed 'Barakuda' logo in place of the factory dial logo.

Day date, good lume, decent accuracy with a handwinding and hacking movement, 20 bar water resistance, ISO Diver’s certification, well designed hands and indices that make it very legible and a sixty click bezel that like the chapter ring aligns up properly and all for just over €200.

Great list - For the JLC Reverso chrono, IMHO, it's not perfection 😛 - they really need a little more contrast between the hands and the open dial on the chrono side. Something obvious like having blued hands might help for the steel version since the gold version doesn't suffer from the same hands/contrast issue.

@g43654 4 ай бұрын

Having handled one, I agree. The steel version is a nightmare to read with so many greys and white. The gold version is much better, but they all suffer from being too large and thick. I only have a Duoface Tribute, but that watch is already very large to me.

Wow, I didn't expect to see both Grand Seiko and Credor in this list. Grand Seiko is notorious for having pretty lackluster bracelets which is why I'd probably never call any of their watches perfect despite really loving them. Personally, out of my collection the only perfect watch I own is my blancpain leman daul timer. 38 mm, very slim, extremely simplistic with 100-hour power reserve; it's the perfect everyday watch imo. Next would my vc overseas dual timer with a minor gotcha. The only reason why I would never put my VC overseas as a "perfect" watch is because of its sentamental and monitary value. I got it from my grandfather, so if something ever happened to it I would probably be extremely upset. Also objectively, there are instances where wearing a watch that's worth this much is not realistic. I'm not going to wear it to the beach etc. That being said, from an objective standpoint it is a perfect watch.

Amen to the Tudor Black Bay line. I've found that the Tudor BB 58 GMT, which is a true GMT with two-tone bezel and its companion, the Tudor BB Chrono (which such engine was developed in conjunction with the Breitling B01 column wheel engine) with locking pushers (like the Rolex Daytona) and with each being 41mm in size, having in-house engines, 200m water resistance, locking clasp stainless steel bracelets, COSC specs, screw down Tudor rose stems, tasteful snowflake hour hands and minute swords, and 70 hours of reserve are for than 1/2 of the price of their Rolex counterparts are a relative bargains and yet are timeless and very respectable to wear and depend on for the time of day. Oh, and did I mention, unlike their Rolex counterparts are generally available with very short or no wait times to obtain the Tudor.
