Really love seeing such high praise for the Longines. I bought mine last year in 40mm with the black dial and the bracelet. Nothing comes close until you get to the Breitling B25 Datora which is considerably more money. The only negative I can think of is that it’s a scratch magnetic, as the only surface that isn’t high polished are the center links.

I can totally see Tom in a top hat,sporting a cane and rockin the Longines xD

UNION Glashütte has a same movement based on valjoux 7751 sans the column wheel of longines. But the Germans pack it with 100m of water resistance.

*best start to a podcast ever.

The Longines is a great piece AND it's available in 40 and 42mm, the smaller one being the older version. It's based on a Valjoux 7751 movement, so if you don't like the design there are also watches from other brands to choose from.

i just bought that longines a couple weeks ago, blue dial. Its amazing,

Wow, that Bucherer is Epic. What a beautiful piece !!

Both of these watches are great value finds! Keep these types of videos coming!

Interesting to see the Longines mentioned here. I’ve had my eye on one for the longest time. It seemed to be just a beautiful, high quality piece at a great price.

I keep going back and forth on that Longines. It's so cool and I really want it.

I owned the Longines as shown but barely dial. Bought used for $1600 - crazy value for a column wheel chronograph, triple calendar. It is hard to read with the date hand easily confused for the minutes hand. It was early in my journey and I wanted to see what else there was but this one is still hard to beat.

Longines watches are so beautiful. All of them.

Master collection triple calendar and Saint Imier are awesome affordable pieces. JLC Master geographic and 8 days perpetual are awesome on higher end.

My Longines Master collection moonphase was my first luxury watch. I absolutely love it. The blue dial is stunning

I had the Longines Master but with a white dial and on a bracelet. I paid £1600 for mine... BARGAIN!!! Well built, beautifully finished and really quite rugged. It survived 2 motorbike crashes!!!

OMG OMG that silver dial with blue dial furniture is just gorgeous

I have the longines in 42 mm with the white textured dial and arabic numerals instead of the roman numerals. Its a brilliant watch

2:12 I have the White Dial, it’s a FULL calendar with Chronograph and proper Moon phase…thank you Teddy B for the recommendation 2:12

Ooooh.....that Longines.....that's a beauty.

There's a fair amount of silliness in the video....and I for one support it. As an American the only other American YT watch channel I subscribe to is Teddy's and he is pretty straight forward and does a great job. anyway, well done and yes the Longine is a great looking piece, but I love the Bucherer the most though.

I dumbed across this Longines at the airport in Cancun last year. Picked it up spontaneously, and it gets a ton of wrist time at the office. My version is white gioche (spelling?) with Arabic numerals, and the alligator strap is brown. I prefer the 1920’s style Arabic numerals on the dial. That configuration makes me think of Indiana Jones

Best Value watches today . No doubt in my mind the Chritstopher Ward Twelve Ti or the Bel Canto

I bought one of these Bucherer Bicompax annual calendar back in March. Love it. It's a fantastic piece that I will never part with.

I spent ages doing a lot of research a few years ago looking for what I thought was the best value watch. I'm very pleased you agree with my purchase 😀

The Seiko Age of Discovery 6M15 World time Perpetual Calendar is one of the most Beautiful value packed watches that was introduced back in the 90s. It has all the functions mentioned in the video and more, the 6M15 is a very fine movement but unfortunately seiko stopped producing it a long time ago. And yes it's a Quartz movement.

Longines Master Collection is overshadowed by the historical reissues, but it deserves to be better known. I have a one that features multiple retrograde displays and just looks cool and crazy.

Zenith Captain Winsor annual calendar Boutique edition clear winner for me

Got the Longines 42mm as my wedding gift from my in laws. Black dial and Roman numerical with a steel bracelet.

I'd have to give a nod to one of the Seagull-powered chronographs for pure value, if not a good ole seiko 5

1:50 my dream watch for like 7 years now

The Longines reminds me of the Omega date triple, which is just missing the day/night Dial.

I agree with Tom’s choice. I own the Longines in a configuration you didn’t show…white barleycorn dial with all-black printing and hands. It is also my most precise watch: less than +1 second/day.

Much older watch, but I like the JLC Reverso Squadra GMT Chrono

The longines of course cause I have one!

I'm a fan of the Longines, and you can get them at a decent discount if you shop around

Stupid question. Does it make sense to buy Longines Master collection watch as a means of investment? Does it hold value?

Aliexpress photocopier: "best value packed watch you say?" ... "Give me a month and I'll have something for you".

Well, I personally never wear any watches with less than 4 grand complications. I'd consider $350 for that many complications a steal. GWM B500D. :)

Am I the only one who thinks the Bucherer is too similar to A Lange Datograph?

I love my Longines master collection moon phase, mine has the blue dial 42 mm.

Just enjoying listening to you guys after a long day of work. I do like watches but I'd be listening if you were talking about ice cream as well

It’s 775x based. Is it still unidirectionally wound (ie spinny rotor equipped)?

Oris Pro Pilot X with hand wound Caliber 115 .10 days power reserve.

Zenith doublematic is a great function packed watch... wears lighter than it is too

I was thinking of the Xezo air commando, specifically the day date model. Packed with features, unfortunately it is 45mm!

Nice choices and world class side kickery from Tom.

The Longines is striking. Like Jimmy Savile, the hands dominate but it still fits snugly on the wrist, or so I've heard.

The logo on the Bucherer is too much. And the thickness (14mm)

I‘m from the home town of Bucherer, I know how it’s pronounced ☝🏼it‘s pronounced like the german word Buch (book) +erer 😂

Best value, Timex, Citizen, Casio

BEST start to a podcast ever! LOL.

5:10 Buch is German for book, so I think Bucherer means Book-erer

They're both lovely! I'd have them over any Rolex 100 times😄

As far as I know, spelling would be 'bu:sherer' (french from ?"la bouche"maybe?). To get that conundrum out of the way😅

Casio Royale Of course!

Now the HIGHLIFE PERPETUAL CALENDAR MANUFACTURE

You Bucherered the name! 😁

Suddenly, I'm in the mood for fine Italian cheese.

Casio AE 1200, no contest :)

Bucherer is actually pronounced as "Bucherer"

I know a guy named Sacky Pib who has an MRG G Shock.

I love the awkward jokes and out-of-tune sense of humor on this channel. Watches overviews is the second reason.

These value chronos are great until you have to service them 😅

Casio F91W or AE1200..

Manufacture SLIMLINE PERPETUAL CALENDAR...I have had it for five years and it does not need reseting for February or leap year.

John Wick wears a Carl F. Bucherer. Just saying.

I have that Bucherer Bicompax Annual Calendar. I LOVE IT! It makes me feel sorry for those people that paid $60k for their Patek.

The Seiko Flightmaster

Have a crack at the Breitling Navitimer 1461

Sadly I own one of these Longines - good luck if you ever want to work out what the time is. Possibly the most unreadble watch ever made. I've written this piece of *** to the unsellable portion of my collection. I've got the vaguely wearable one thankfully - not the absurd 42mm one.

Bucherer is pronounced Bookerer

I'm going to have to watch the whole video as it's so new. I normally just switch to the comments where someone has done the hard work and tells me where each watch is...

It’s lush

Yes! More Carl F. Bucherer content! I love them! Please also do Patravi Scubatec Maldives! As all dive watches it's overkill in chunkiness and too large for my wrist, but it's my favourite watch which I'd like to be downsized...100M dive rating is enough and no need for helium escape valves. I'd also like a slightly less "90's blobby" hour markers and hands.

Omega. All Omega watches.

That Buckeroo is a blatant copy of a Lange Datograph. 😆

Old sonke ratzenburger sent me

Are not us enthusiast supposed to be anti Rolex

Great choices. Almost all Longines are great value. I own the one you present here, and it's wonderful, it looks and feels so much more than it costs. It has one drawback in my opinion: I really don't like the rotating hand for the date, which can be confused with the minute hand, especially as they are of the same color. I wish they had done that differently. Besides that, it's pretty much perfect.

Just started watching you guys, you’re hilarious lmao

I have to agree with Tom on this one. I have the old white barleycorn dial version with the Arabic numerals and it really is making by brain hurt how Longines make much money on it. The chronograph is a column wheel as well! It's not the easiest watch to read at a glance as I find I just look at it to take it all in then have to look at it again to tell the time. The hands are different shapes between the time telling leaf hands and the chrono sticks though so that makes things a tad easier. Oh and the pain it gives me to change the date with our funny month days really is just the pull of the crown and a slight move anticlockwise, clockwise moved the moon phase. Easy.

love the channel; don't become too clever by half!

I bought the Longines Spirit 40mm SS Blue dial 40mm time and date and man is this watch going back! Being a watch enthusiast I inspected the watch through a x10 loupe and although the dial was good enough the upper lugs had just terrible finishing. Imagine taking a metal file to the lug ends and flattening two angled surfaces into the lugs. The bottom lugs were perfect but the tops ones were just unacceptable. Plus the clasp on the leather bracelet had three dings in it. Unacceptable production quality on a brand new piece. My first good watch decades ago was Longines and I certainly won’t be buying from this brand again. I have a Tissot finished better than this. So disappointed it’s a lovely looking watch just very poor quality finishing.

That Bucherer is the same as A Lange und Söhne chrono ! 😬

Best value watch in the world: Casio AE-1200.

Try "Boocherer", as if it were a Scottish word. That might even pass for a Swiss accent.

In my opinion the bucherer looks like a wannabe Lange (which objectively means it looks great but still)

Does Clive drive a white van?

Being probably the biggest watch group, do people really buy a Swatch, do they have many watches of repute of their own??

As it is a german name: Bourrerer?...😂

*Booshraah

Th watch costs 3,500 pounds, for yall who are annoyed like me.

Value for money? Casio AE1200 stands alone.

It's pronounced the German way. Pretty sure you can look it up.

I bought one of those longines , the delpoyant clasp is absolutely crap and the strap. For the money it really is not worth it

Buck-a-ra

I believe the Longines really is an amazing watch with an outstanding value for the money. I almost bought it, when I would not have stumbled upon the Union Glashütte Belisar Chronograph Mondphase. These watches could very well be considered identical twins, albeit the Union having a cleaner, more legible dial. Even after two years I still cannot take my eyes from it when I wear it.
