Tudor seems to have taken a big grasp of this price segment. With Omega's entry level watches in the mid $4K-5k, the barely have any competition. I hope you will review that new Tag Aquaracer GMT in the future. It looks amazing! Thanks for this amazing video.

@andywilliams4887 Жыл бұрын

Tudor has achieved a firm grip in this price range, and for good reason. Great build quality, genuine heritage, accurate in-house movements and choice of dial colours. For example the retail for a steel BB58 in the UK is £3010, while the Omega SMP 300 on a bracelet is now £5,100. We can all debate the various pros and cons and increased prestige of the Omega (I love and own one btw), but the gap is definitely widening.

Very cool to see the Sinn 903 featured. Most people don’t even seem to know it exists and it’s a very attractive offering when Breitling Navitimers seem to be getting perpetually more expensive and bigger as well, the 903 offers more of a classic Navitimer experience at a more reasonable price. Not quite reasonable enough for me to gamble on a new one, but hopefully enough people will see this, buy one, and then sell it on the used market at an even more affordable price. That’s always been my biggest reservation, because you typically can’t try on Sinn watches, buying one sight unseen with a secondhand market that isn’t really aware of the 903 makes it a big risk for a watch that you may end up not liking for whatever reason and then can only move on at a huge loss, if at all.

I like the mention of the Tudor and Rado chronographs, and the Nomos. Definitely not the norm for these types of lists, and promotion a bit of variety in watch collecting is a plus. I definitely didn't have that particular Rado on my radar before, and I'm sure some others are now aware of it that might not have known about it. I'm likely getting the Tudor Pepsi GMT for my birthday this year, so it was good to see that on the list. What's funny is I showed my wife a list of watches I liked after trying them on over the past several months. She had no hesitation in saying she liked the Pepsi GMT, having zero knowledge of the watch style or Tudor. I got no reaction for the Speedmaster Pro, several other luxury watches, and a clear dislike for the Pelagos. Her other favorites were the Omega Railmaster, and the Grand Seiko SBGE285 "Mist Flake." I'd been leaning toward the Pepsi recently anyway, and was hesitant about the cost of the GS (even as a watch lover, it's a lot of money).

@elliottmallin4410 Жыл бұрын

Teddy! Another great video, but I’m afraid I must complain about the erasure of the Longines Ultra Chron in the diver section. It’s an incredible movement that fits squarely within your parameters if I am not mistaken. Is there a reason you felt it didn’t fit the list?

@cedshred1676 Жыл бұрын

Great choices! So many top quality watches in that price point. I’d say be careful with the Kenissi GMT movement in Tudor watches. I’m hearing the date wheel fiasco is still happening. Some people report very long service wait times for this issue because, as you probably know, Tudor uses the hot swap service model for all of their watches. That means when you send in your Tudor for service, your movement is removed and some other person’s refurbished movement is plopped in. Then your movement is refurbished and plopped into the next watch to come in for service. Since there apparently are so many Tudor GMT date wheel issues, there aren’t enough refurbished movements to plop into all of the watches returned for service, hence long wait times. I’d never ever buy a Tudor GMT, but plenty of people do. The Grand Seiko sbgm221 is a wonderful dress GMT close to your price point.

The only two segments here where Tudor did not get mentioned were only because otherwise it would just be a clean sweep "Tudor is awesome" video, and certainly Tudor have everyday and dress offerings where are outstanding as well, all with in-house movements at this price point. I do think Omega is a step up (with price commensurately well beyond the $4K price point) but I there are several brands that do not impress at prices well above that of comparable Tudors. Anything costing twice the price of the BB Chrono with the same base movement, for example. Rolexification of that movement (silicon hairspring and free sprung balance wheel with four adjustable masses) one could argue, make it better than the B01 that it's based upon. Perhaps Teddy, you could do videos for "3 or 4 watch collections from same brand" rather than price based? My own collection includes the same 1926 you like with linen dial and blue hands, (bought on bracelet and swapped to brown strap and clasp), BB Chrono, BB Root beer GMT, with the BB Ceramic as fourth and most recent add.

Great vid. However, being newer to watch collecting I don’t understand why water resistance matters referencing a watch like the Santos with leather band. I don’t imagine people are taking that in a pool or salt water.. or many of the watches on the list. Correct me if I’m wrong, I’m really trying to see the point as most people aren’t diving past 30’ of water if at all.
