10 Iconic Watches for a Bargain Price | Watchfinder 

We know you want more watches…. click here: linktr.ee/watchfinder

“I’ve always thought the Navitimer dial was a little too clean” - classic 😂😂

For the IWC alternative I would pick Laco. Has the same heritage of IWC/Stowa, but only cost about 300 quid for an Aachen auto.

This has got to be one of the funniest watch talk shows out there. Incredible work gents!

The Yema Superman Worldtime GMT Coke maxi dial is an absolute banger. Vintage look, perfect size (offered in both 39 and 41mm), in-house movement, pretty affordable and manufactured by a legendary watch maker who's also the supplier of the French Marine Nationale.

I don't care who wins, I'm just here for the fun. I love seeing watches I didn't know about, reviewing others I already did, and especially your comments on them. The best (and funniest) content I've ever watched. Don't stop producing these videos, please!

My list.. 1. Tudor GMT Pepsi ( a cop out I know 😄) 2. Seiko flighty 3. Bulova lunar pilot (I have one and it's the only choice) 4. Oris Pro pilot big crown 5. Panzera aquamarine A-45 Top video.. more of these definitely 👏🏻

The Sinn Navitimer, compare to pre-B01 Breitling offerings, is actually a better watch IMO. For a period Sinn produced the Navitimer with Lemania 1873 and a transparent case back, which is a beauty.

I reckon this match was a draw for me. Tom and Andrew each picked three watches I would happily add to my collection (Tom: Yema, Citizen, and Seiko; Andrew: Sinn, Bulova, and Stowa), and Tom won rounds 1 and 3, while Andrew won rounds 2 and 4. The 5th round... well, I don't really care much for Panerai, so I care even less about watches that- erm... homage the look? But I will say that Seconda looks like a 60 pound watch, while that Precista also looks like a 60 pound watch but costs 755!?! For that reason, and mentioning the Avi-8 -- hate their name, but quite like their designs -- I suppose Tom just edges out a win if I had to pick one winner.

Pretty funny discussion, I particularly liked the comment about the navitimer not being busy enough, and the "our story" webpage. This was pretty even in my opinion - Tom for the first two, Andrew for third and fourth, and the last I personally wouldn't pick either but they both bore some resemblance to the icon.

Great job guys! I love that there wasn’t a hard price cap on this one, it makes this a lot of fun to see what you both come up with

This was a landslide 5-0 win for Andrew. The Yema was the closest that Tom got to beating Andrew but could not. The rest were all Andrew's, especially the Sinn and the Bulova. These 2 were the most obvious budget alternatives to the Breitling Navitimer and Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch respectively.

“They will think I’m from the future.” Hilarious. And yes, that Navihawk is just a mess. Total mess.

I'll tell you who the winner is.... We are! the format is engaging and perfect for the humour. What's not to like.

That Longines spirit 5 star review joke 👌😂

Tom's Yema and Citizen picks are brilliant, but the only watch on this list that I would consider purchasing/wearing is the Sinn. Therefore, I deem this competition a tie.

After watching this one, I realized how many watches in my collection also fall under the category of, well they are watches that exist.

I mean Stowa and Laco have true history pieces, quality is amazing even in the entry level models. But if i cannot afford IWC and wanting something cheaper, modern instead i would go for Longines spirit 100% one of best watches that came out in recent years.

Just came across your channel. Love your content. You guys are hilarious and informative at the same time. Keep up the great work!

Next to Stowa for a alternative for the IWC is also the German original brand Laco. Look there as well! They offer a lot for around 1000 as well.

I'm a big fan of these videos. I enjoy your repartee, and I'm discovering some new companies worth checking out, as I'm a new member of the Watch Addicts Community, and am working with a budget that does not accommodate anything close to a Rolex.

Oh YES Yema is such a strong shout! All of these watches were fantastic choices! I tended to side a bit more with Andrew 😜 BUT TOM YOU ARE GORGEOUS AND FABULOUS

This was excellent! I agree that future videos should have a total cost tally at the end. :)

Definitely enjoyed the different brands on display here. Well done 👍

For me, in the end, there is no substitute for the real thing. But while saying that I realize I have several substitutes 😎!

What great fun! My pick for the Navitimer would be the Hamilton Khaki Aviation Converter Auto GMT. It really looks quite Breitling-esque, in a good way.

Really enjoy this type of video. Keep up the great work gentlemen

All options are close to the inspirations. However, for the Panerai alternative, I'd gone for a spinnaker hull. Specifically the california dial. Such an underrated gem!

Yema is so underrated as a brand. A great ‘Ambre MBP’ in-house movement in a lot of their watches under 1000,-

Love the summary chart at the end! And the winner is? BOTH Andrew AND Tom!! Keep up the great work!!

Honestly Im only giving round 3 to Andrew at best a draw in round 5. For the Bulova Moon Watch its also worth mentioning that the quartz movement is actually based on the Accutron where it's not as accurate as a full fledged Accutron but it's still pretty close. Should you guys decide to find a Lange 1 cheap alternative I think the Ulysse Nardin San Marco GMT is a great option at used prices!

Some good choices all round. But for pure nostalgia I’m giving this to Tom who picked out a sekonda. When I was at school I had a sekonda from Argos and it was great. Followed by a Lorus.

Bro love these type of videos. In my opinion this would be a great series to make videos on from time to time.

I got to try on a Bulova Lunar Pilot last month at Wind-up Watch Fair here in Chicago. After seeing many a vlogger refer to it as too big and clunky, I had mostly written it off, but it turns out it fits and feels way less bulky than I thought. I still can't bring myself to pull the trigger because $400+ for a Bulova is $400+ that could go toward a "real" Moonwatch in a year or two...

The Lunar Pilot is just like the one that went to the Moon. All they changed for the reissue was the size, the shape, the layout of the dials, the font, and made it quartz rather than automatic. But apart from that it's identical...

Missed a trick with the stowa. You can get it without badge and it looks so much cleaner and more traditional. Love the double dial with hours inside the minutes. That would have been my pick. Cheaper too.

I never knew watches could be so funny. Great stuff-fun and informational. I appreciate the introductions to models I might never know about

Andrew FTW. Fantastic choices throughtout. Props to Tom for playing the straight man.

Mad props on the Duke Nukem reference.

Love you guys! Hilarious and informative, so refreshing. Do more episodes like this!

As a big pilot owner I did own a laco before to see if that was my thing and sure enough it was. Good on you Andrew to go with one of the original pilot watch manufacturers

Appreciate the video, thanks for the info.

Sinn’ 903 Navitimer has 100m WR. Breitling only 30m. Quite a difference.

Literally 1 min ago after watching your video & seeing the Ocean One GMT .. went to Steinhart website and ordered myself one in 42mm. Stunning looking watch! Thank you for the great suggestion! Have a good one guys!

Hated that Yema with the bezel lock and that awful lug to lug they should have made the bigger girth instead of length. Tom had this one for me. I loved that green GMT hopefully they make that in a dive watch. Nice video. Keep up the good work.

The old "straight guy, fall guy" routine. A regular Larel and Hardy for ya.

Good job Gents, that was fun!

“Jolly good show!” Navitimer commentary was hilarious. Excellent affordable options

Love the Yema, I would buy one if it had white lume. The Omega racing.....is a budget alternative as is the Lunar Pilot to the speedy, or the Pogue? Or the Sinn 140, you aint trying. Hilariously that Sekonda's quite pretty...

I love all your content, keep it up!

I enjoy these shows very much. I kind of liked the AVI-8 and just may have a look. I also liked the story behind the Sinn 903. I knew Breitling went through some really bad times, but did not know they sold off the rights to their Navitimer, but when you're bankrupt I suppose that is just part of the deal. During a bad health issue I sold off my 3 most expensive pieces and took a beating, but that is for another time and thread. I liked that AVI-8, but I'm repeating................................Good show, gentleman.

I recently bought the Bulova Lunar pilot and love it. The price was right

I am disappointed. You were looking for alternative for moonwatch and you ommited a Poljot! Caliber 3133, upgraded Venus chronograph, probably a first watch ever in open space, wore by Alexei Leonov. There are debates about brand he wore, it was either Raketa or Poljot but caliber was for sure 3133. It is the most used watch in soviet space program. First Czechoslovak in space wore it. It has a heritage, it is still being made, it is cheap, it looks gorgeous and it is now made in Germany, as far as I know. I am wearing one right now. However, perfectly round chronograph wheels might be optional, especially in older models.

I enjoyed this comparison across segments and price ranges. It gave me a bigger picture of watches and brands to explore. There is something to admire in all these selections.

Did he really quote Duke Nukem? Well hail to the King Baby

Having looked at Sinn models more closely these days i can appreciate their 903 Navitimer even more. Sinn becoming more and more appreciated doesnt make their waitiing lists shorter ;D

Great video! Gave me a good laugh as always! 👍

Allow me to win this contest: Rolex GMT Master ii --> Oris Aquis GMT (preferably Whale Shark LE) Breitling Navitimer --> Hamilton Khaki Aviation Converter Omega Speedmaster --> Bulova Lunar Pilot, have to agree with Andrew on that it's the clear winner (Bulova Chronograph C if you want more flare) IWC Big Pilot --> Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Panerai Luminor --> Bell & Ross BR01 / BR03

GMT: Tom. Reason: Aesthetics Navitimer: Tom. Reason: Price Speedmaster: Andrew. Reason: How does Tom not know the Bulova LP is SpeedyLite? 🙄 IWC: Andrew. Reason: Heritage Panerai: Andrew. Reason: Tom went waaaay too far into inexpensive.

Tom! Seiko went to space! The Pogue for (add a divinity) sake!

have to say, Avi-8 have some lovely watches on their site, will have to check them out!

This was tough but I vote Andrew. The Sinn, Bulova, and Stowa are the most compelling.

Yema is a nice watch with a great history. Unfortunately as of late they seem to have terrible support for any warranty issues. Lots of watch geeks complaining about it. Best Speed master alterative is the Tissot PRX Chronograph.

EXCELLENT PROGRAMME: PROVIDES A NICE REVIEW OF MANY BRANDS.

the only watch channel i can be bothered to watch. keep it coming, you guys are genius, and super informative. and super funny.

I've got a Bulova Lunar Pilot, and I must say, it's an insanely accurate piece. $ months of ownership, and absolutely NO deviation whatsoever.

Project Apollo is one of my interests. How did I not know about this watch?!!!

15:10 light on heritage, had me in stitches

In 1968 I bought a brand new Breitling Navitimer for £57.50. A couple of bezels and a few services later I sold it. No regrets. It was my daily driver and was replaced by something more suitable. Stayed away from mechanicals until 2 weeks ago when I bought an IWC MkXX. Lovely watch.

The Bulova wins, no question. Tied on all the rest - it's like having two good choices at two different budgets. Well done.

Can you do a video on entry level gold watches or gold options? Preferably sporty, I have been looking at 36 tudor bb with the gold bezel but tissot makes the gentlemen powermatic watch with a 14k bezel at 1/3 the price. Any suggestions?

I’ve wanted a Sinn 903 for years but trying to find one new or pre owned is a pain and on top of that they are $700 more expensive than before Covid-19

I'll have to go with Tom's picks. I absolutely hate Navihawk and AVI-8 but the rest of the pics are solid. Andrew did a great job with Sinn and Stowa. so 3 vs 2. Tom wins

Love the AVI pilots watch. The Sinn Navi and Seiko are nice as well. Also, i'd personally take the Steinhart Pepsi over the Yema Superman

17:06 I would have selected the Alpina Startimer Pilot myself as the alternative for the IWC

The best bargain alternative to the Navitimer is, by miles, the Seiko SN411 "Flightmaster" busy yet readable and good looking, 42 mm yet wearable as a 40, perfect lugs for nato/slip through straps, , fullproof with the 200 m WR, just lacking a saphire cristal maybe.

Two more for you. Alternative for the Navitimer 1332412 Seiko SNA411. Same size, same face. 250USD. Alternative to the Speedmaster 300 Pro - Seiko SKA371 - skeleton hands, extra pusher on the top. About 250USD (pre-owned).

The black & gold Steinhart GMT is way cool too!

I'm not sure about the last one but I feel like Andrew here gave some classic "watch nerd" alternatives, whatever he mentioned were my first or second choice too haha. Quite like the humor on Tom's side as well, if I were to give some criticism I'd say he might want to look at the brand and not only at the watch itself lel

Bravo. I love how you guys tore a strip off the Panerai by finding the two most drop-shippy alternatives ever. I’m still laughing.

Love this series. Please do some dress watches next

Wasn't aware of that Precista....not bad. I do wish Bulova came out with a slightly smaller LunarPilot model, say 41 - 42mm.

Love these videos lads keep it up. 3-2 to Andrew in this challenge.

The Sinn 904 is a thing of beauty, but I must direct your attention towards the Casio Edifice EF527 for an affordable and reliable Navitimer-esque design. I got one on my wrist right now.

Tom, did you forget about Bulova? The watch that actually didn't fall apart in 0 gravity?

I'm going with Tom, because I'm contrary.

"bit more stuff on my dial " 🤣🤣🤣

8:18 and I can hear the music dankpods plays to test headphones with 😂

Could you please do a video on the Breitling Chronomat!!!!

I did enjoy this yes thank you

Cool vid! Thanks

Enjoyed this. Given that everything else about your productions is incredibly slick, I hope you take this feedback on pronunciation in the spirit of improving your videos even further: the é at the end of élaboré is pronounced, like café. Keep up the good work!

The Sinn Navitimer is meant to be worn on the left hand, hence the internal rotating bezel screw on the right side.

Andrew 4: Tom 1. Only the Yema beat the expert this time IMO.

Would you consider making a video about watch insurance (companies, things to look for in policies and whether it’s worthwhile)?

Come on gentleman, the Navihawk wipes the floor with the Navitimer, if one can learn to read it the dial

Cheers Guys, I Picked Up two AVI-8 Watches, 100euros Each "TKMAX",,& I Love them .😎🙏🙏🙏

We'll give Tom a generous golfer's handicap and call it a draw. And yes I like these comparos.

Tom should have chosen the MoonSwatch … why on earth didn’t he purchase it yet?!

I have expected spinnaker for panrai alternative
