If there's an Oscar award for excellent performance in presenting watch models with such enthusiasm and flair, I would have no one else in mind but this guy here, TGV!

Before I started to watch this video, I thought, 30 minutes... that’s too much. I’ve watched it all. After a few weeks watching watch videos. I’m now obsessed...

Yes, thank you for something affordable, going to look through this for a piece for my dad’s Christmas gift. Thank you and keep it up!

Citizen AT4008-51E Perpetual Chrono A-T is an incredible watch... It’s a 42 mm watch but God you’ll have to see it. It’s an Eco-Drive Chronograph with an Alarm, 5+1 Time Zones, Perpetual Calendar, Radio Controlled, Sapphire Glass, ani it’s WR 200.... It’s more than just a watch, it’s a piece of art... It’s at 479 CAD for the Titanium version = 360 USD...

You have to be THE best watch reviewer, collector and all-round enthusiast in the world, or at least on the web. You clearly LOVE watches, and it's infectious! I must admit that I love watches with lots of complications, but don't really know how to use them all. Have you done a tutorial video on all the mathematical and fuel burn etc. functions you were describing for the Seiko? I would but the watch just to follow along! Thanks for a wonderfully entertaining walk through this underappreciated segment of the market!

awesome list!

I've been meaning to add an affordable chronograph to my collection! Great timing! Thanks, TGV!

Loving my Bulova Moon Watch. It’s an amazing watch, you just have to watch the chronograph in motion. It’s crazy! If you only want one quartz watch this has got to be the one!

TGV; What a wonderful review. I am proud to own two Bulova watches. The 96b251 "Lunar Pilot" which you reviewed and the 96b175 Precisionist. Both are larger cases @ 45mm and 46.5mm. I love them both as they are stunning on the wrist as well as keeping unbelievably accurate time @ 262.144 kHz. Both watches came early to my collection and I would never let them go. Thank you for a very enlightening video post. As you say "Onward and upward."

always nice to see a new TGV video, makes my day everytime!

At this price point, the Bulova Lunar Pilot is a no-brainer despite its size. Dan Henry and Seagull too are both incredible.

Your enthusiasm talking about watches is unbelievable... Your presentations are brilliant... The whole video editing is superb... Just wow... 👍💪😊

I was one of the guys who requested this video, thanks for finally doing it, TGV Cheers!

Very informative video, I'm just getting back into watches, this has been a great resource. I'm subscribed. Thank you.

Great video! One of the most valuable I've ever viewed! Cause there are great watches out there that don't cost a fortune. I am a collector. I have five high end pieces and many more pieces of this category. I can tell you that I adore them and can't take them of my wrist easily. Thank you so much for this video cause I spotted two brands i didn't knew they existed! Keep up the good work love your channel!

Oh my, that blue and white Flightmaster!... Great video TGV, thanks! nice selection. I would had the Seiko SSB031, flyback mecha- quartz. I love mine. Cheers,

My first watch was the Bulova Lunar Pilot and I am really satisfied by it! It is perfect, even if it looks big it wears smaller as you say.

Undone with it’s customizable configuration looks cool! Thank you TGV for the introduction! Great vid!

watches is my new recent obsession and your channel is a true gem. Apart from learning a lot about the time pieces and history, its also very pleasant and relaxing to watch. Cheers!

100 points for some edifice recommendation, this is great affordable watch.... 😊

06:06 Reason for not reviewing the Casio Edifice: “Maybe there’s a time issue..”. I chortled.

Thanks for sharing about Undone and Dan Henry ...I really into it👍 Keep it up mate

I love this channel! Elegant, mature, and full of knowledge 🍷

What an outstanding video... Full of wealth of knowledge and great brands I didn't know

Great video!! I'm so glad that I bought one of those Bulova Lunar watches! I love it. The dial is amazing! They could have made it a little smaller. It fits me great however I wish more people could enjoy it as much as I do. See you soon! Cheers.

Thank you for everything you do! Please keep up with your positivity!

Being following Undone and they have come up with great time pieces.

OMG. I wasn't even in the market for a watch and after watching this video I layed out $400 on one. WTF. Your very good my friend... very good...

The edfice line has some pretty big varieties in quality. The cheaper ones aren't really worth it but the tough solar ones are amazing. Solid metal bracelet with solid end links, 7 months power reserve that can charge from basically any light source, luxurious dials, and they sync daily with your phone to stay perfectly accurate. I own 2 and they dominate my wrist time.

For a long time I was looking for a watch and I was undecided. This video helped me make up my mind (at least from a brand point of view). Thanx a lot

I really enjoy your channel. I grew up in a small town in Illinois half a mile from the Westclox factory I started buying a few of those and that’s where hobby began for me.

The Seagull 1963 is the real dope here guys. The dial is wonderful. Crazy watch for the bucks

I fall in love with the Bulova " Speedmaster" type. Amazon offers it for about $300👍👍👍

Start my day with the urban gentry. awesome !

Thanks TGV for this very interesting video because 500$ is my personal sweet spot. Can't decide which Chronograph i should get for Christmas!

"It looks the kipper's knickers". Wow. That's a classic line. Thanks for that one.

Well i'm broke again .... Very informative video !!! And as always have a nice day !

A lot of great watches! Thanks for this video. I've seen on your channel another review of Dan Henry 1964; I have just received mine a few days ago and I am already in love with it. Really stunning for its price.

I have a Eco-Drive Nighthawk and I absolutely love that tech and how long it can last without a charge. In the 12 years I have had it, I can not recall a one time it has stopped. It will be a forever watch in my collection.

Awesome video TGV! So nice to see the Bulova Lunar Pilot mentioned. Any chance of you doing a review? I own the black version which has no date and the "old school" Bulova logo instead of the stylized current one. It's an incredible value for money in such a historic piece. The caseback with it's engraved coordinates of the EVA that it was worn on is also super cool. I definitely think it deserves more attention!

One of, if not the most useful videos I’ve ever seen. Clearly you know your craft…subscribed and will seek out your previous videos. Bravo, sir. Very impressive.

Excellent video I was looking forward to. I've got the Graff piece, and I must say, it's a stunning dress watch to my eyes. Cheers

All great choices, that Seagull looks like a killer piece always wanted to try one out. The Bulova is a sweet piece to. If your on a budget I'd recommend Heitis, they have a sweet chrono for 180 bucks ? I've reviewed them and the owner of the company DJ is a pretty laid back dude.

I agree that Casio Edifices are vastly underrated; I have the EFR-545SBDB-1BVCF. One chronograph I have that is from a brand not seen here is the Tissot PR 100 Chronograph. It is a simple design, but a great looking watch.

I came across this channel looking for omega watches. For me an omega is a bit beyond my budget for a few years at least. You have really opened my mind and sparked an interest in hourology probably detrimental to my account balance. Thank you

I was just aching for another TGV video, and then I got this. Thank you for making my evening :)

Will be buying myself one of the Zeppelin watches soon, pondering the auto but probably quartz and put the difference in my Hamilton 68 fund. Seagull 63 is also on my list, that movement looks beautiful and at that price you cant complain. Bulova is now on my radar too, but given the size I'll need to try this one out before committing, thanks for you vid as always!

When TGV started the count down I was saying to myself where is the FlightMaster of Seiko ? well done TGV .

Amazing video, love the detail and energy 👍🧡

This is the first time I've come across your channel. No matter what you were promoting, your enthusiasm & passion for your subject is engaging. Thank you for taking the time to walk us through your top ten under $500.

I’m so happy to see you bring attention to the Citizen brand. The Eco-Drive technology is quite amazing. I have Rolex, Omega and many others in that genre but that thing never runs out of fuel.

My Seiko SSC369 quickly became on of my favorite watches, a solar chronograph with the charms of the 411 Flightmaster (also own) but with a price of $150 not one I'm too concerned about. It's a lot of watch for the money and with a Marine Nationale strap looks flexibly stylish.

Really enjoyed your video. Great info on watches and brands I had no knowledge of. Think I might just have to start a collection now.

Watching this video again, the thing is I could talk myself into buying every single watch, great list.😊✌👍

Thanks for finally covering one of my favorite genres at a very attractive price bracket. Although your favorite Flighty is hard to beat among the Seikos, I wouldn´t want to dismiss the Seiko Prospex SSC009P: Also a slide-rule chronograph, but solar-powered (officially also capable of going for 6 months on a charge) and with a very balanced layout for around $250.

The Sea-gull to me is I think the best looking military watch.

Great video. I'll be looking into the Bulova. A lot of great choices offered.

Love the content. Keep em in rotation.

am in love with the zeppelin. it's so classy i love it . thx TGV

Hmmmm... Thinking hard about Hemel, Dan Henry, and Undone now... Thanks!!!

I love my Seiko and Casio and thanks for the recommendation

I absolutely love both the Junkers and The Zeppelin! I’m a sucker for the Bauhaus styling of the Junkers, and the vintage inspired look of the Zeppelin. I am going to get the DH 1964. Your number one is my number one! I enjoy wearing my flight master so much! Such a beautiful chronograph! Thank you so much for another wonderful video sir! Onwards and Upwards !

The Lunar Pilot and 1963 are definitely on my list to be sure, but I’m really digging the Graff Zepplin though!

The 1963 is a great little watch for the money.

what an excellent compilation of watches! - thankyou! that Zeppelin made my heart jump a bit extra ;D - greetings from sweden, Levi

Great great great channel, ur style it's not mere just Rolex and anything expensive, but u put a value and historical behind every watch, u introduce me to brand that I even don't know it exist, respect from me

Just getting around to this video: Great list, can't argue (much) with it. A few thoughts: - Glad you gave Edifice a mention: my favorite of the entire line (in fact, the only quartz number in my small collection) is their EQSA500DB-1A (yeah, they *really* need to improve their model designations…had to actually look it up online to write this), which has virtually every feature your Edifice has, but with a far-less "busy" dial-in fact, it manages with just two subdials as opposed to three, giving it an almost-classic vibe IMO. Also, even though my watch supposedly has a mineral crystal, I've yet to scratch the thing, and this watch gets tons of wrist time , so it doesn't get babied. - I know you were covering new timepieces here, but I'm giving a shout to an old number I've had for a few years, which not only was a mechanical chrono I could snag for well under $500, but one of the few automatics with a true pedigree: Seiko's 6139-7140 "blue eye." About to have it given the once-over by Seiko, while they still have the means to properly do it. - Agree with everyone about the Bulova: fabulous design, but that case size is a total dealbreaker. What were they thinking? Make one between 40-42mm and they won't be able to keep up with demand. - I always liked the Seiko "Flighty", from the year it was introduced, but could never pull the trigger on one, and now I know why: at first, I thought it was because of all the aviation-centric stuff I thought I'd never have use for (and didn't want to pay for), but my real objection was the "information density" of the dial: there's just a bit too much going on. Even a Breitling Cosmonaute seems a tad more legible by contrast. ('Course, as an old guy, my eyes aren't as keen as they once were, so there's that.) Again, great job, TGV!

The Seagull 1963 is absolutely wonderful. I put a custom order for an exact replica of the 1963 original (slightly different print on the dial, without the display case back).

Love your channel and the advice offered. I'm already contemplating my next purchase based on your videos. I wouldn't otherwise be aware of all the options out there, or which weren't complete crap, so thank you. I just purchased a 43 mm "compact" Vostok Europe NP chronograph. It was just less than $300 from R2A watches here in the US. I work on a construction site so I needed something bulletproof - however thank god I did not get the larger size. I have a 7.5" wrist and it seems quite large to me, I can barely pull it off. Excellent watch, in any case and quite a good value.

Just watched your channel for the 1st time and now have purchased a Dan Henry 1964 GT Chronograph,slate grey tricompax! Can't wait for it to arrive. Cheers😃

I bought the Red Star moonphase chrono with the Sea-Gull movement in it from Long Island. I had a lot of ambivalence about owning a watch with a hammer an sickle on it. I thought I had that under control, but honestly now even though it is in many ways my very favorite watch, I wish I had chosen the 1963 instead. Most of the cool, all of the class, less of the genocidal imagery. :-/ Great video. I love chronos and I'm sure I'll end up with at least a couple of these before I'm done. Thanks TGV!

I need that Sea-Gull in my life... my Vostok Kommandirskie arrived from Russia and I am genuinely impressed with it in terms of value for money, Sea-Gull are definitely one to "watch"

I really enjoyed watching this video. I learned so much! I will definitely be buying 1 or maybe 2 of the watches you recommended in this video. Very fun video. Thank you sir.

Amazing selection of cheap chronos. Very tasteful. 👏

The Zeppelin with the green dial is absolutely gorgeous. FORGIVE ME WALLET!

Steinhart ocean one, made of titanium is lit too.

Great video, TGV. I am a huge fan of chronographs. Many, though, suffer from being large, well over 40 mm. I have 6" wrists, but I still wear the 43 mm Seiko Men's SSC017 Prospex Analog Japanese Quartz Solar Stainless Steel Dive Watch. It's a diver, so I think it is okay being on the large side. I also have a vintage quartz Seiko chronograph under 40 mm. Just spent about $100 to get it serviced. Bought it new about 25 years ago. I always look forward to learning from your videos.

Great video! Selections that can make anyone a collector.

Could you do a video on historic watches? Sort of like the catalog on the Dan Henry site you showed here, but just a top 10. I'm especially interested because in one video you talked about the historic Junghans Max Bill watch which is such a beautiful piece.

8:02 they still sponsor Red Bull's junior team Toro Rosso Honda

Great choices. Enjoy your videos very much and look forward to the next offering

Bravo, brillant, quel enthousiasme à nous présenter ces petits bijoux !!!

I love the Flight Master. Just bought one. I have 8 1/2 inch wrists and it wears a tiny bit small for my taste. But I will keep it for sure because it it so iconic. I also have the larger solar version, SSC631 I think it is. It is much larger but it is an awesome watch. Great video, as always, thanks.

The Junghans Form C Chronoscope is an amazingly finished. MSRP with the fantastic leather strap is $495, and can be found for much less, even brand new with warranty from an AD.

I was introduced to Bulova by this channel. They are now one of my favourite brands. I have a Accutron Spaceview, and Accutron gold day/date. Accutron II Lobster and the Moon watch. They are just amazing and deadly accurate.

You guys out there, watch collectors! You are all very talented at getting people obsessed into getting into watch collections. Some years ago, I found myself starting my own watch collections and then with years later, I noticed that it was a big mistake as I was simply wasting my money.

Citizen radio controlled eco drive, AT4008-51E has got to be one of the best under $500 chronograph watches.

My Chinese mother-in-law arrives Thursday. Yes, she is bringing me a 1963!

As usual the most classiest guy in watch business...if i may add so...👍

Hello TGV, This is a good list of watches for someone who has never had a chronograph and wants to test the waters so to speak. ⌚️⏱⌚️

Citizen Eco-Drive is always my everyday go to over having to worry I'm going to scratch my Submariner or Daytona; which are only worn for special occasions.

I think the Bulova is the standout. Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t the second hand sweep? Great video. Barring the bias of the flighty. Lol.

Love the flight master. As soon as I saw your first video on it I had to get one. What a great watch! I wear it on a Colareb Roma strap...

Absolutely fantastic list! I love my Swatch Irony chronograph. With its powder blue sunburst dial and stainless steel case and the contrasting satin-brushed and polished links on the bracelet, the silver and black sub-dials. it's definitely the dressiest swatch I've ever experienced and just looks and performs wonderfully. And of course being a Swatch its super affordable.

Seiko... please manufacture more white dial flightys! I'd buy one in a second

Best watch channel.

I was about to sleep and this blessed my evening. Splendid as always TGV

I could listen to this guy all day!

Junkers, Messerschmitt, and I thought the third one was going to be Focke-Wulf 😂

Recently bought a orient neo panda from Japan a month back and its outstanding watch and at a great price
