Best Watch Collection For Those Who KNOW What They're Talking About | Watchfinder & Co. 

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

WatchFinder & Co. Deserves an Award for being the best watch channel in the world.

"So we’re all getting a little sick of hearing about Rolex and Patek Philippe all the time." Yes, yes i'm. Glad to see more variety.

The perfect 3 watch collection is 3 watches you personally really like or enjoy. Doesn't matter about the name or the cost or the type or most importantly what others think about it. It's your collection

"A collection doesn't have to be mainstream to be special" what an insight!!!

It's always a treat to watch GS macro shots

*A Grand Seiko is the icing on the cake, of ANY watch collection.* 👏👏👏

Always a good bed time story this guy is super always a treat to watch i love these videos well worth getting up for 1:00am here in Austin TX but keep it fresh bring more new things

I swear if GS made their watches just a tad smaller, they’d enter the realm of “too good to be true”

I concur with your selection but I missed JLC there ! Ty!

Heck of a nice 3 watch collection. My 3 watch collection is also represented by Germany (Stowa), Japan (GS), and Switzerland (Breitling). I‘m not a chronograph guy, but if I got one, it would be a Zenith.

That's the closest-to-my-desire mini collection that has featured on this channel. Crisp, Bauhaus design, outstanding finish (and precision) and a real long-run horse dripping with horological history. Thank you!

I owned the GS GMT hi-beat for a short while. Loved the watch except for its thickness. If Seiko can slim the case down a couple of mm, it would be a winner. The bracelet isn’t on the same level as the watch head, but it’s still quite nice. I replaced it with a snowflake - which, IMO, is the best GS model available.

The Breguet type XX is also one hell of a watch.

Watchfinder is the best channel on all RU-vid. Thank you very much for your content. Appreciated.

Nomos watches truly are amazing. It is probably going to be my first "luxury" watch

The Nomos is beautiful, although they have even more beautiful and impressive watches.

Watchfinder: "There are Watches, and there are watches; and these three are..." Me: "Watches?"

If I was to go outside PP/Rolex, and build a 3 watch collection, I like the idea of a VC Overseas chronograph, Tudor BB58 and a JLC grand reverso duo face. This would cover a lot of bases.

That was a tremendous video. Different from most on this channel (which are also great in their own right) but highly relevant to watch geeks that don't have the unlimited funds required for Rolex and AP and Lange. Tremendous camera work and narration as well! Master class!

I like the Zenith but I'm worried about the servicing cost and frequency of high beat movements - is it expensive to own?

The Nomos Tetra and Metro are just absolutely gorgeous. Also let's not rule out the Tudor Black Bay 38, a wonderful piece.

These are (for me) by far the best videos on RU-vid. I literally have to watch any new posts as soon as I see them. For me the GS was the pick of the three 👍

I always liked zenith, el primero is on my bucket list. For now I’m happy with my hamilton khaki king.

They are both beautiful watches !!! It really comes down to taste and what kind of person you are. The beauty of someone's collection is you can have different watches for mood, occasion etc. That rolex model you couldn't give away years ago now look you just don't know.

Great video! I was convinced I was going to see a Jaeger-LeCoultre after you pulled out the Nomos and Grand Seiko

My three watch collection currently in order of purchase: Marathon MSAR Damasko DS30 Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical I have a pro trek and a GShock 5800 DW but, they were purchased long long ago before I fell in love with watches, so I don’t really count them as I don’t use them

It is crazy how the dial of this watch (3:38 and 4:38) is so similar to the new Seiko Alpinist 1959 Depp Lake. It has same kind of "dna sequence' shape like detail. Gorgeous for a Seiko.

I’ve never had anyone recognize my Nomos except 1 guy. He was wearing a AL & S. What a conversation we had

That little extra reverb on chunky was quite enjoyable 😂

Good to see that Nomos, a great watchmaker, have been featured. A look at the Metro next would be great.

This was a great video. Thanks for showing some watches that are well made, have a pedigree, good looking, with outstanding movements, and are reasonably priced. One question I have for you is, what your thoughts are about Baume et Mercier watches? I know they aren't top tier watches but they are a company that has been around a long time. They have their place in watch making history. Did they "sell out" by becoming a department store brand in the 1970s ? I have a vintage late 1950s early 1960s 18 karat gold, super thin case wrist watch I inhereted from my Grandfather. It could use a good cleaning and slight restore on the face. I know it's not worth a lot as it only tells time, no date no second hand but, is a nice looking watch and runs fantastic. Why did they fall from being a great watch company to just another watch company?

This Zenith got one of the most beautiful dial. The colors and the finish I have personally never seen before!

The Zenith collection is stunning and extremely affordable..i had no idea they had a Daytona styled "El Primero" wich costs around 2500€

I want the Watchfinder light box to follow my wrist around everywhere I go. GREAT videography as usual!

Where are they coming with those astronomical prices from? Are they referring to rrp? You can get that Nomos for £2300 brand new with warranty, papers, etc. They sell it pre owned at £2950!! I really, really don't get it how this kind of companies make it work when you have Chrono24 one click away 🤷🏻‍♂️

The blue strap at El Primero is misplaced upside down, but is also the one I like the most.

Rather eerie : exactly the movements I am looking for my beginner's collection. I own a El Primero with a calendar for now, looking for an everyday wear Nomos.

That strap you have there on the el primero matches perfectly! Is that the standard strap or did you buy it. As there are so many different versions I can't find out on the internet

Always enjoy listening your videos and the most surprising thing for me is that i actually agree with your point of view

Awesome video, a much needed break from the constant Black Bay Blue content from elsewhere.. Those 3 brands are precisely my favourites, I hope to have them in my collection someday!

Very informative. Thank you Watchfinder & Co.

Would love to see a video with the nomos club campus 38 in it.

I'm a proud owner of the Nomos and I would buy the Zenith in a second (But my wife would complain so much she'd ruin it) but I don't think I will ever buy a GS

"Bangs out" is an appropriate description of a 36,000 bph movement. Excellent macros of alternatives. Thx WF.

Perfect collection! A square Nomos would be nice

i had 4 Nomos, I sold the date ones, it does not have automatic date setting, You have to go back & forth between 9pm to 2am to set each date, Pain. The new ones have back & forth date setting but not all models have the movement.

If you ask me, above the monetary value and prestige of the other more known brands mentioned, it's the history and uniqueness of the Zenith El Primero and the Grand Seikos that appeal more. This is a great collection, and was always on the top of my list to have, along withe the Speedmaster, Blackbay and Snowflake. Great video!

please put this in 4k it would look amazing!!!!!

A brilliant channel and extremely informative. Keep up the good work.

The Nomos is a great choice, even though I would prefer the Club Campus Neomatik or the Orion, if you prefer a dress watch.

Where does one get these watches serviced? Do they even make replacement parts for them?

beautiful video ❤️ i am always pleased watching your videos 🙏🏼

Three outstanding watches and a great video. IWC and Omega also have some outstanding offerings if a Rolex just isn’t your thing.

Kudos! As always, to the point sir! Ideal choice to double my current 3 watch collection

Amazing watches! I like that the difference in the brands.

Glad to see the Zenith Classic Cars getting a little love, even if it is shared screen time with the others. The Classic Cars was my first luxury watch and will be my favorite for all time. Great vid, and excellent choices for the 3 watch collection.

I am looking to add that Grand Seiko for my third piece to finish my perfect three piece collection!

Only ever heard of, seen vintage wind up Zeneth watches, not heard of the other brands.

Yep all three for me. Great vid mate.

That SBGJ213 looks so damn good. One of my many grails.

Always loved that Zenith and movement. Great content 🙏🏼

The first 2 were completely left field but that El Primero does belong in every collection. So over looked and under rated but but still ticking away at 36000 vph since 1969! Rock on 👌

Thx. My GS finally. :)

The best part of Grand Seiko is the depreciation. You can pick up amazing pieces for 30%+ off retail in immaculate condition. Staggering value

I guessed the first two but I was expecting Tudor or the Speedmaster in the number 3 spot. Great video!

Excellent and couldn't agree more, given I have all three brands, and they make me very happy.

I love this selection: different, well-considered, attainable.

How do the watch hands scratch beneath the crystal?

Nice! My 3 watches collection would be my beloved first mechanical watch (Seiko Alpinist SARB017), a Grand Seiko Snowflake and a Zenith El Primero :)

If I was doing a collection to highlight movement technology, this would be a great choice. That is usually pretty far down on my list of dollars out the door for.

Some interesting choices. I think with how clean and minimal the Nomos is, the other 2 look quite cluttered in comparison. But definitely goes to show there is more to life than Rolex!

Great video, thank you Watchfinder.

I own a Nomos Tangente and man, is it a beauty!

Nice. But I'm rather partial to my NOMOS Orion 38 Date: Similar well balanced face, but with silver-white dial, the golden indecies, the tempered blue hands, it is an extraordinarily beautiful timepiece. At 38mm and just 8.9 mm thick, it wears lightly and comfortably on the wrist; plus you'll save over $1000 on the price of the Ahoy. All told, It's no wonder the Orion 38 Date is the choice of discerning minimalists the world over.

Love those videos! Any chance that you could do one on Ulysse Nardin and especially the ulysse nardin regatta chronograph. I have seen that watch in a store some time back and can´t get it out of my mind. Please keep posting -> your videos are my daily Zen moment :)

Great Video ! Please make a Video with Sinn U2 S!

I'm not a watch nut, but l love this channel. Question. ls it true there were/are watches for the blind, the wearer touching the hands to tell the time?

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.

Awesome video. Love all three watch brands.

Lovely to see this concept being pushed - certainly tired of Rolex. But surprised ALS isn't on this list! The 1815, Lange 1 Time Zone and Datograph are pretty much my grails. Too bad they cost multiple houses lol

Love your videos, personally own the first version of Ahoi Atlantik and it is gorgeous. Sometimes I consider getting the one with the neomatik movement.what is your take on this idea?

Hi what about price all three new pieces

Nomos generally doesnt have screw down crowns. GS bracelets aren't as comfortable as .. an alternative's brands. And both will be more expensive to maintain.

Can you please review the Breguet Royal Marine Alarm

I have the same 3 watch collection except, I have an Omega Deville Prestige Co-Axial, a Meistersinger Perigraph, and a Girard Perregaux Laureato. For the record, I know my 3 watches would not make this forum.

Could you guys make a review of the ML Aikon Mercury free hands?

Great video, quite refreshing!

Absolutely amazing. What a video 💯💯

The Grand Seiko dial looks so damn good.

Would love to see a video on Bovet

I really really want the Zenith. More beauty then many Rolex. The spec and colour. ❤️

I am a proud Grand Seiko and Nomos owner. Zenith will be my next watch.

El primero is my favorite of the 3, by far. What a watch..

Would love to hear your thoughts on the Christopher Ward line-up specifically the c60

Your photo is superb, even nomos quality is not near your quality (just looks at the edge glass, you can see some dust)....😁👍👍

Very nice! Keep doing more of these! Enough of Rolex and Patek, both models which are not available. I don’t want to hear about what I can’t get; only about what I can get.

Ah great now I can go to bed. I can't believe I actually wait up for these. Thank goodness I'm retired. Great review. I've been eyeing that Nomos maybe next year.

I'm proud to say that the three watches suggested in this video are the models I intend to purchase as my first three - full credit to Watchfinder for guiding me towards what to look for! Question is... Which to get first?!

That gs is a treat
