I have the Sinn 556 A. And believe me, these things have inner and outer ar coating. Best on earth. Sometimes you think the crystal fell out because it is invisible. 🕐⚙️🍸
Yes, Breitling is better than Tudor, and its so NOT close that it is not even funny comparing them. One is a generic rolexoid brand, the other has its own history and design language dating decades in the past, not to mention legendary models like the Navitimer. And I am saying this as someone who LOVES the FXD and the BlackBay GMT.
It's my opinion that Breitling is way over priced for a watch. I own a 1926 it's nice casual watch to wear. And got the money I'd buy a Tudor over Breitling. Just my opinion
Men have very limited options as far as jewelry. Possibly a necklace or a bracelet that is somewhat subdued. But a watch is a piece that a man can always get away with wearing. So, I rotate my collection. I keep them in nice storage cases, and always clean them. Typical day, I might wear two pieces. One to work, and then, change it up for the evening. When I travel, I usually just bring one with me, and really enjoy the time I spend with it. But, wear what you like. Big, small, flashy, not. It doesn’t matter. Whatever floats your boat. Whatever makes you happy.
I like Breitling but my biggest problem with them is their watches are really big and I don’t have a big wrist so I would probably buy a Tudor Blackbay but really they are about equal in quality.
Hi Guy good episode. However, in the whole history of Hublot, there isn't a single watch that can be said to be good looking, in the classical way. It just shows how people's perceptions of design can be influence by marketing. It is sad TBH. Richard Mille, the same. I'm not saying they are badly made watches. They just look terrible.
Never pwned a Breitling as the prices were prohibitive and as dimensions pretty big diameter. I do not mind flashy watches. I do think Tudor is more mature and since the 58 line, it sky rocketed as in sales. The old Tudor Ranger is the watch I regret selling. It was such a mistake on my side.
Was that even in question? Yes of course Breitling is better than Tudor. Bolder design and brand identity, better build quality and finishing. It's not even close.
I do need a watch otherwise I would look like one of those sad acts who get their phone out everytime they want to know the time. Or even worse the complete morons who constantly carry their phone in their hand! 😂
Never really thought of it but yeah... Casio kinda of is like Toyota. Reliable, everyone got one, they both got high and low end models. Congrats on the Citizen! It looks dope! I think Breitling might be considered higher horology but id rather have a Pelagos because id know id wear it. Also Breitling has Charlize Theron as an ambassador and as a fellow South African I cant stand that woman hahaha! I feel you on the Rolex. I got a Day/Date and the magic wore off pretty fast and then passed it to my brother. Dont mind the woman or the chipmunk voice haha! Would it not be cool if the mechanical chime would become popular! Take care man!
I have the Spirit (albeit the 42mm) and it's truly astonishing especially for the price. The fit, finish and overall wearing experience is comparable to my pieces that are twice+ the price.
556i vs the Spirit: Hmm. I don’t really see these as comparable. One is attempting to be a shiny beautiful luxury piece and the other is a legible rugged tool watch. The 556 is certainly lacking embellishment and that’s the point. It’s not jewelry. The Spirit is meant to be a bit more flashy. To me, adding all that embellishment is try-hard and obvious. The Sinn manages somehow to be a bolder watch on the wrist despite being minimal, stark, and understated.
My mind puts together image of an individual that goes around with a Breitling, and another person with a Tudor. As far my imagined perception goes, Tudor wins.
Hi Guy, thank you so much for answering my question! To be honest at this point I'm leaning towards the Longines. I prefer smaller watches these days (36-37mm is my sweet spot), and the Longines will keep me interested for much longer I would say. It's more dynamic and just looks more premium. I'm due to try it on next week, but if I'm honest, the price difference means that I'll need to save for another year or so.... The Sinn is awesomely tooly, but after owning IWC Mark xvi, I think I'll just end up comparing it to that watch I used to have, and it won't be as good... so there you go What I'm also realising is that sometimes the best way to buy a watch, is to have the money ready (my personal limit is around $2500, as I don't want to baby my watches and worry about them, if they are ultra expensive), and then go try watches on.... so that's what I will do. I may end up with something that youtubers never talk about, or even an older watch from the past 20 years, from a reseller. There is a big watch area in Glasgow I can get to by train. They have the usual boutiques, but also resellers of older watches...I think that my ideal watch will be small, high quality, decent movement and more importantly legible (think field / pilot style)...if IWC made a mark watch at 37mm, that would be a dream So yes, we will see For now - Longines Spirit 37mm in black is my "grail" or whatever you call it, but that may change when I see it Thank you again Bring on 100k, I'm really wishing you the best, I've been watching your videos for 5 years and you're a favourite
Gotta say, the other day I thought, “hmm I wonder what else Tudor offers.”…..so I went to their site and, well….🤮 I was shocked. No wonder they continually iterate on their BB home run.
I agree 100% with a man wearing a Packers hat! I’ve been collecting watches for the past 20 years. I have pieces ranging from $50 to over $10k. The watch that has received the most compliments BY FAR has been my recently acquired white Casio Square 5600 😊. Many women like the white color. They aren’t impressed my diver watches. Us watch nerds sure like them though.
Can't say overall but I have a 2005 41mm reverse panda Navitimer and also a Tudor reverse panda. As much as I like my Tudor my Navitimer is better and a classic. My Breitling is running a + 1 second.
Hi Guy. In terms of chronometers, I think the Sinn 903 is actually a better watch than the Breitling. Also, what if you just read the questions in your own voice? It might be easier from a production standpoint. As far as the use of words is concerned, it's always good to say what you mean and avoid ambiguity. Assumptions don't necessarily avoid that problem. I learned that the hard way in high school. :)
As a true blue Rolex “fan boy”, Pudor sucks! However, the build quality is very good(hypocrite, I know). I simply feel like during the height of the 👑💩show, people forced,” and fooled themselves into hitching their wagon to that star out of desperation and impatience.
Great video. Yeah, in terms of total quality control and feel on wrist, Breitling is a good bit more Luxurious in my view than Tudor, having owned my share of both. The no. 1 reason is the polishing. Breitling is just polished to a higher level finish, and more thoughtfully layers high polish across their watches like the Premier and Chronomat. However, you pay a steeper price for that.
It's interesting that the majority of comments are saying the same thing. I'm sort of surprised. I would have expected Tudor to win out, not because I think Tudor watches are necessarily better - but I think they have more mass-appeal designs. Tudors watches are, I think kinda big and ugly. I figured most people would feel that way.
I don’t know how much I care about in-house movements really. Not much if I’m being honest. I wonder how much that factors into other people’s opinions and purchases.
Tudor is better value for money. What breitling has an in house movement with a metas certification for 4k? Breitling are also dead, nobody cares about them, nor are people excited about them. A lot of their watches are just not great value for money.
Guy, good video. I can't afford expensive watches anymore as we are looking to move which is super expensive. The main question is Breitling better than Tudor, I would say the quality for both is difficult to tell to be honest. I believe you can get much better deals on Breitling watches second-hand or even grey market than Tudor. I like Breitling's larger selection better. I never owned any myself but I used to have a friend who was a watch collector from mid tear to around the 10K range. So I got to feel how they wear. I have seen Breitling watches at Sam's Club at a big discount. This was over 2 years ago. So I don't know about it now. I do like the female robot voice more than the silly one you were using if that helps you any. It is really good to see you making more content again. I wish you all the best.
I agree Breitling is superior to tudor. Tudor doesn't do any finishing to their movements, they look as unfinished as a seiko movement. Breitling at least does some stripes and basic machine finishing on the bridges.
I can't say I've ever seen a Tudor movement. I've only done videos on a couple Black Bays and I don't recall any of them having display case back windows.
The new voice for reading the questions is much better (and I was NOT among those who had complained about the old voice, although I did find it annoying as hell).
