4 Underpriced Watches Due To MISCONCEPTIONS! GREAT WATCH DEALS! 

+1 on the vintage Hamilton recommendation! In he first half of the 20th century, they were known as the "Patek of America." All in-house, beautifully finished, shaped movements.

Since Federico mentioned American watch brands, I want to give a shout-out to RGM watches in Pennsylvania. Every watch is made by hand and can be customized. The owner is Roland Murphy.

i have a speedy reduced i paid 1200 bucks in 2018. I love it, it checks the boxes for the price and do not care about the 5K ones. What a deal

My mother got a omega manual wind that's been running since 1975 no service. That's not bad

3 buttons undone to add to the Miami Douche look? Kidding, love your channel Fed.

The Cellini line is a perfect example that the watch enthusiast/collector community are mostly lemmings - just staring at each other to see what's popular instead of having individual tastes.

Totally agree with your take on service intervals. As an aircraft engineer, my industry has service intervals because of safety and reliability, with watches it’s not like your life would be in danger if your watch breaks down, so it makes total sense to only fix it when it’s not working correctly

I agree on the Cellini - during COVID I missed picking a platinum Cellini that was on "fire sale" for $6000. Also I have a Waltham pocket watch from 1918 converted to a wristwatch. The beautiful movement can be seen through the open caseback.

Welcome back Federico! Supposedly you went to Asia to do some bargain watch hunting for Delray Watch. I was expecting this show to focus on the inventory you procured on your trip. Did you find any bargains to share with us?

Thanks Fed! Nice to have you back!

I have a Raymond Weil Parsifal Chrono with the ETA 2892 and Dubois Duprez module, and I love it! I think a speedy with this movement is a great watch at a great value.

I just bought the Hamalton you pictured. It was on ebay, a 14k solid gold for under five hundred dollars! A number of years ago I bought the Cellini for seven grand and I love both of them.

Glad that you're back... Good advice.

I have a vintage Heuer 272.006 chronograph with the Heuer 185 movement that has the Dubois Depraz modular and you are absolutely 💯 correct and ps I never had any issues with mine. There's been a misconception about modular chronographs for years. My watchmaker also stated that the DD modulars very rarely need to be serviced and they are very robust.I mean the DD modular are in some of the best chronographs ever made. Heuer Autaivas, Monacos, Carreras, Montreal and Sliver stones

Very interesting regarding the Speedmaster Reduced. The increased service cost is the main reason i've not been too keen on getting one. The size is optimal for me as i have small wrists, and chronographs are most often of the larger side.

Great video with a lot of good information. Thanks!

Love the GP Chrono

Nah, the reduced is cheap for a reason. The spacing is goofy and the service IS expensive. frankly I had mine serviced by your watchmaker.. And it was pricey!

I have two JeanRichards with their in-house JR1000 movement ..an all black dlc 1681 central seconds and a 300m diver that is only 12mm thick….the JR1000 is basically the GP4000 and was made in the same GP manufacture … bought them new, but highly discounted at a fraction of their retail price….they are beautiful and beautifully made…JR was playing in the $5000-$10000 market, but they lacked discipline and would dump their unsold watches into the gray market all the time…as an example, my diver with the in-house GP based movement retailed for $7000…it looked and felt like a $7000 watch, but I got it new for $2000….shame what happened to that brand.

That Rolex Cellini looks like an escapee from a 19th century Italian lunatic asylum.

Federico, I bought my Speedy Reduced from you about ten (?) years ago. It was a great watch for a great price, and it's still one of my all-time favorites.

Fed, You clearly made my day!! I have the Michael Schumacher reduced speedy in three colors. In fact the only watch that a stranger asked me about. Now I know where to have service when necessary. Your videos are always informative and interesting…. Keep it going.

Love your comment on service intervals! It would be great to have a video on this subject. When I hear about some intervals at just 5 or 6 years! C’mon! My Speedy will probably be in the 8 or 10 years range.

Great points. Love vintage American watches.

I have a vintage Hamilton Brock. It’s awesome.

LOVE YOUR JOURNEY

I want that cartier so bad!

I did own a 3510.50 Reduced and it was a good watch but it never satisfied that itch to own the 1861 with hesalite. Back in 2018 I did buy the Speedy Pro and sold the Reduced. I'm very satisfied with my Speedy Pro. On a different note, back in 1972 I bought a Hamilton ala Tank style because it looked like a Cartier Tank and back then, I couldn't afford a Cartier. I still have that Hamilton in my collection and wear it occasionally.

I have average circumference wrists and my Speedmaster reduced fits perfectly. It's an ideal watch for everyday and smart casual wear.

These new drops are awesome!!!

I'm selling Jean Richard JR1000 based on GP caliber for under 2K blue dial which rare & present in baselworld 2014, they great value

I really like your content and always appreciate your honest opinion. I don't agree with you on the service topic. Even if the oils get better and better they won't last forever. I've been told by a watchmaker that some modern oils don't become dense anymore but tend to evaporate. In that case your watch might seem like it's running perfectly, but the movement will have a lot of wear. When it starts running too fast, it's usually too late and you can't repair it anymore. I get the oil in my car changed and i get my watches regularly serviced. They could both work without it, but they would work longer with the service.

My missus wanted a Rolex Cestello/Cellini as she liked the leather strap and rose gold case but also liked that none of her friends had them (unlike datejusts/subs/YM). Also it’s low key so nice that I don’t have to worry about her wearing an 18k Rolex in London - like I would if it was a Daydate/datejust.

No Breguet models mentioned? Hmmm..

Hamilton also made a reverso, which is so very cool.

Wow, wasn't aware of the Rolex Cellini Danaos.

welcome back 🤲🏻

If I were to go Speedmaster it's gota be manual wind. It's just part of the watch and its cool. If going inexpensive and automatic I'd rather have a Tudor Tiger for that price range (roughly).

I think Patel philippe Calatrava from the 90s are great value

If you know what to find, vintage timex is also excellent

Love American watches

I don’t agree with the Speedy Reduced. The service cost will be very expensive. First hand experience and movement actually very fragile because of so many moving components. Buy the 42mm professional version instead if you want a speedy. Personally, any chrono service going to hurt your wallet.

talk about marketing issues, daniel jeanrichard doesn't even have a website...

that GP is not nearly Douchbag enough for that title.

F do you have that Cellini in stock?

i have discovered a watch as good as a Rolex submariner but for a fraction of the extortionate price of that. Invicta wow.!!!

Nice shout out to vintage American . Cant lose as they have slowly / modestly risen over the years , even if prices collapse you will only lose a few hundred $ 😃

Maintenance of the Speedy Reduced isn't why I've hears to stay away from the watch, but that the movement in it isn't very reliable and has issues that will cost you money over time for repairs.

Omega Seamaster 2254.50 is still a bargain.

"Miami Douchebag Watch" LOL

It's a nice watch, Fed. Not for douche bags

You lost me with plugging for Rolex. They suck compared to so many other brands for the money. Brilliant MARKETING company. Watches are good, not great and HIGHLY overpriced.
