I'm out.

Right

In all fairness, I think what he probably meant to say was Seiko, not their higher end Grand Seiko. You can definitely get a really good Seiko dive watch for less than $1000.

@@CyrilAmagbakhen Or just being stuck up..."what I'D do with $1,000 is add $5,000 to it and get a Grand Seiko" hahaha

@@logifinirator Right. But it's not just Grand Seiko though. There's a Seiko Prospex SNR029 that equally costs $6000! It appears Seiko is finally increasing their high value offerings. It's about time.

The closest thing to a Grand Seiko is a Marine Master 300 which will run you about $2500. It has an undecorated, unregulated 9S55 Grand Seiko movement and also zaratsu polishing on the case.

yeh nobodys getin a grand seiko for under a grand lol

He aint all right lmao, dude capping i bought a grand seiko brand new for 4.5 bags i doubt used would be lower than 2k lol

he says under a 1000 is hard, but best value anywhere is grand seiko, so he kinda dodged the Q

Exactly. Grand seiko is a bit more. Lol

If he had bought an equivalent amount of Walmart stock at that time it would have been a neat trick since I got a "hot tip" about Walmart in 85 or 86, and like a dummy thought the kid that told me didn't know what he was talking about- this is around the time of the IPO. Also missed the boat on Amazon IPO, which was around $35 and actually didn't move a whole lot in the first couple years.

Guy is too rich to know about sub 1000 watches

made in china

Grant Seiko by China

Ji ji 😜

Ebay

You just don't.

This lol, people in the comments be dumb.

Sure, but you also lose money when buying one. Used market is way lower than retail on 99% of grand Seikos.

U think he said that because he invested in the company?

May be good but the looks are boring

Well kevin needs to understand the english language. He was asked a direct question, he needed to give a direct answer, not go another route and avoid the question. If u ask me what watch is a worthy option below $1k, i will tell you all day Christopher Ward..

Don’t think of watches as investments, unless you’re spending over 5 figures it won’t appreciate much- much smarter investing it elsewhere. As a watch, the regular lunar pilot is not only better looking- but a third of the price. If you truly like both the watch and the history it provides. Simply go for the regular model!

Now you know my cheep watch secret. If I got 7k it's going into my Roth I don't buy watches over 500 it's a waste of money. No watch will give you a 12% return on your investment. So if you find a watch you can buy for say 50K and in 10 years sell it for 155K then buy it fast. But most likely your being took... Now if you believe this 50k watch will give you 155k of enjoyment then go and buy it, but it doesn't make it a smart buy it just means you have a great deal of money and no place to put it. Personally I would recommend St. Jude Children's Hospital.

@@guthrie1960 St. Judes is great :)

Glad it helped!

@@alphampire yo Aaron do you know if I would be able to get a watch like financed. You know like if I give them a down payment and every month I would also have to give a payment? Could you point me in the right direction. Please

@@monstersofthemidway4402 Bro, don't do that. That's how society keeps us poor. Chasing status symbols on debt.

@@neiloppa2620 This whole thing seems a bit of a joke to me, but finance is a good thing if used properly (it does not sound like he would be using it properly). Trouble is most people don’t and get caught.

Maybe because he looks like that main character on despicable me. The fat guy with the big nose that has all those minions working for him.

Agreed.

He's very serious and can be an asshole in terms of business. But he's a billionaire so that speaks for it self. But like most people, when they are out of work they are much different.

I believe a lot of it is jealousy to be honest

@@ezioauditore9505 millionaire*

Tissot gentleman

Right... quartz GS is at least 3x-5x that price.

I think he mistaken the prices for Seiko and GS.

Yeah I got a 9f quartz GS and that was still around 1300 preowned

which watch do you have as your profile picture?

@@NirmalveerSingh It looks like a Junghans Chronoscope

For investment under 1000$ is very tough, unless if u got it preowned or 2nd hand, i'd say Doxa, some hamiltons, or oris, some tags too, also dive watches from citzien

@@biggiebeil5118 I love the Doxa Sub 600.

I also hawe 7750Vazue and servise cost mee 300€ but its beast I low it it is Glycine and you can buy it like that coc they don't hawe them

It paid his bills

Yeah, the kind of waves that drowns people with bad taste

Deservedly. Movement, dials, finishing, materials (proprietary titanium),…why would you have at least one GS in your collection?

But he thought MVNT was as good as rolex lol. You trust his opinion on anything now? Guys a sell out

@@NA-sq1qs he never thought that lmao. It was just marketing

Vincero

go eat some stakes choji😂

You are brother

I mean if you want to go vintage, used and quartz, you can grab a few at like $700-1000 right now.

Agreed.

It's because he's so rich he's out of touch with reality, you can see how quick he is to try to pivot to higher prices. He thinks he's frugal and and in touch, but it's just a rich person's idea of being frugal and in touch.

@@kashstory Agreed. I also don't understand people who are 'into mechanical watches', and then talk endlessly about accuracy; while obviously important, you get better accuracy from quartz watches at a fraction of the price. GS produce a quartz-mechanical hybrids, with an uglier logo than a regular Seiko.

@@ivanharlokin I think the point is how much extra effort it takes for a mechanical watch to be that accurate. It's a work of art. If you just want an accurate watch go buy a timex.

He was not saying you can get a Grand Seiko for

Grand Seiko puts most Swiss watches to shame with its polishing and dials

Rest assured with your nice shiny Seiko when you are late for that date because your watch is running slow 😉

@@harrysmith3502 Grand Seiko have some of the most precise and best movements around lol their high beat and springs drive are incredible. You seem biased already so that's all I'm going to say. 👍🏼

@@Ghost345621 admittedly, I’ve not read many good reviews on the GS movements. I also only have ownership experience of SKX’s, turtles, baby tunas and most recently a Sumo Black which have cheap movements in them and perform shockingly on a timegrapher. My real usage goes to my Omega collections including the 8800 & 8900 with the new escapement. Zero beat error, +/- 1sec a day in real life use... that would take some beating...

@@MT-kx2uc my experience comes from ownership - not from watching KZfaq alone. You seem to plagiarise from articles very well!! You included all the detail but price! A kid 👦 Gooogooo Gaaagaaa 😂

He didn’t say that. He said you can get a grand seiko for 10 grand

Ya alot he's all ways like patek quality en all that.

En old

Well imo they don't need to be expensive but they need to keep value. My best investment watches are my Seiko's as they almost all hold value if they are popular models like the skx or flightmaster and then it's my expensive ass watches. Not the mid tier brands like Hamilton and my Victorinox or my gshocks

Your missing the point!!

Speak for yourself

Hamilton, Tissot and Seiko.

Shitah!

Can’t even get a Tag for $1000 these days

3k for their quarts sports models new. I actually think they look really cool because the movement is still done very well and they grow their own quartz. but def a long way off from 1k. At 1k there is really no such thing as an invest emend watch but if you get something used hopefully it retains most of its value

@@WatchUnwind Fair point I was more thinking of like their spring drive or auto models that said I'd LOVE to get a 9F GMT the sport one with the yellow accents is amazing.

@@icalexander that’s a great looking model I know what one your talking about. I have actually been thinking about getting a GS quartz watch for my next purchase to mix things up. All my other watches are automatic, I love automatic watches but would wear a quartz as long as it’s unique and fits the watch. I think that’s definitely the case with these. I was hoping my next watch would be an Rolex OP 41 but I have been trying to get one from the only AD in my state since they first came out last year to no avail. Getting real sick of it so I think a GS would scratch my itch as a classy but sporty watch.

congrats. it's a stunning dial. i got the SBGA211 and I personally think the 413 is superb.

Congratulations man! Wear it in good health!

It's possible. Vintage GS is under a G. Used SBGX 9F quartz pieces can be had if ordered from Japan. But in general, GS is much more expensive.

You are a m0r0n, he never said that.

FPJ a micro brand? 😆 🤣
