I have not seen Baume & Mercier watches reviewed very often, so I was glad to see you include the Baumatic in this video. B&M was probably the first luxury/near luxury watch I noticed back in college, and I would anxiously go over the ads for them when I'd encounter them in magazines. To me they exuded classic good looks, the watch to aspire too for dress wear (business or personal). The Baumatic in the midnight blue takes me back to that feeling of awe I felt for a very beautiful watch.

@anthonystevens8683 Жыл бұрын

Some really good choices Teddy. I would have added an honourable mention to the Tissot PRX chronograph though as for the price and finish it just hits the ball right out of the park. I have to agree that the Big Eye would be the one for value having the column wheel as opposed to the cam operation of the Tissot although that 7753 cam is a very well proven chronograph movement. I like them both.

Recently got the Tudor Ranger. Love it. I got it with the Jacquard weave strap, which really sets it apart from the sea of SS bracelets out there. There is a fine vertical brushing between the lugs that really plays well with the light. Can't see that when the bracelet is on the watch. Another great video, Teddy!

Excellent video!!! It has so many things that I have been missing from almost everyone posting on the internet. I like that we are finally seeing: (1) Longines being mentioned more often. (2) Aviation watches getting its own category… it looks like it’s always either dress or dive. And (3) nice price band. It seems it’s always below USD 500 or above USD 5,000… In summary: EXCELLENT VIDEO!

Under 3000 dollars I say Longines almost exclusively. Spirit Zulu, spirit titanium, avigation big-eye, legend diver bronze, longines master chronograph and you can often get the ceramic hydrconquest for below 3k. But I could absolutely also recommend an oris cal 400 if you can get them below 3k, a Sinn or a doxa sub 300.

In the aviation GMT category, I love my Sinn 857 UTC VFR Tegimented on a bracelet, which comes in about $100 below your $3000 price point. While not a "true" GMT, the other benefits are formidable (e.g., almost impossible to scratch, water resistant to 200m, low pressure resistant, etc.). I think it's definitely worth a look!

LONGINES all the way. Stunning at this price point. All of them. I own a 60s era LONGINES manual tank and I love it. Even though it really cannot be serviced reasonably. As in if a part is in need of replacement, the part will need to be fabricated and thus will probably cost more than the watch.
