How Grand Seiko Just Beat Everyone (Again!). 

The Christian and Michael videos are quickly turning this into one of my favorite channels.

Y'all hit a home run with this format of videos. It's been a joy with each new episode. Just fun casual talk with good chemistry.

And then one day I woke up, and became completely in love with Grand Seiko.

Michael’s quips are so well timed. Christian is the cool douche everyone likes cause his hair is perfect.

As a jersey dude myself it's cool to have local collectors.

Ps. You two are hilarious!! Love that nonchalant, funny, genuine approach to rather serious topics.

I own a Grand Seiko SBGW231 (the plain dial version of those 3 watches), and it is a nearly flawless dress watch that can double as a casual piece. I consider it the Japanese Calatrava. Perfectly sized at 37.5mm.

Grand seiko is taking it to another level for sure

Michael’s wit is beyond underrated! 😂👏🏻

That was an excellent video, good job, you guys are very pleasant.

The phish concert remark by Christian is genius lmao

Best 2021 green dial : I would say it’s a draw between the pistachio Breitling chronograph and these three gorgeous GS.

The Oris Aquis with the blue dial and integrated rubber strap is spot on! I don't usually like integrated straps but Oris just nails it. The blue dial is just out of this world.

shoutout from singapore ! keep up the good work

that 9R manual wound spring drive movement is so amazing.

Good job guys. I enjoyed the camaraderie.

Weird sitting on wrong side , great work my favourite watch channel

IWC is actually one of the first in sustainability reporting and winning several awards

I’m the french guy commenting about Christan’s accent all the time hahaha If you want to have a drink in Paris hit me up !

Grand Seiko just Hi-Beat Everyone… Michael should go with Oris. I think the added detail about the denim brand collaboration makes it a better buy in association with his YT channel. Also, I’m about to buy a small seconds JLC Reverso at the end of this month. Would be nice to see some JLC content.

Good job capturing omiwatari dial

Go for the NOMOS orange dial Michael..

The tip discussion blows my mind every time. Just pay your waiters properly, America ✌️

LOL @ "Wear it to a Phish concert!"

Love the orange Nomos 🍊

Loving the new format and the banter. Michael: go with the Oris Diver 65. Has perfect vintage vibes. Especially the denim version, it rocks!

I don’t know what to say without sounding too cheesy? But you guys are pretty cool, keep up the great work. It’s really fun and entertaining for us to watch.

Lol, so I never comment on your videos, but I'm a fan. But of the options you mentioned, 100% the Oris upcycle. Every Nomos I've seen on a friend's wrist for longer than a few months, I eventually get tired of. Great watches, but the whole Bauhaus thing gets old. I just tried on both upcycle versions, and they're absolutely incredible!!

The Club is good, but I just sold mine, it never really got any wrist time and just didn’t fill that everyday watch. The Oris Diver 65 i think would be the better option.

Suggestion for Michael - Seiko SPB149 - the dial is very special in real life.

Christian you need that GS 007 you showed today... just wow

Revisiting past videos so I can see Cristian and Michael together again.

Grand Seiko are just knocking it out of the park. Now they need to come with a collection of amazing sports watches with much smaller case dimensions and they will be a real competitor to Rolex 👌

Had the same dilemma as Michael, needed a watch that I can use anywhere. Not in the options but decided to go with the Tudor BB58 Blue (yes, I know cliche) but I haven't looked back since. The blue changes depending on where you are, and it gives just the right pop of color when you need it. It's now on my wrist more than any other watch I own.

Big fan of your channel. Keep up the good work! Love both brands but I’d go with Nomos. I have the club neomatik and it’s so versatile. Works on a NATO (or Erika’s MN) and a bracelet (Nomos’ sport bracelet is the bomb). Agree that it’s not a “true” diver but I swim with it all the time and very few of us are going deep enough to challenge the water resistance. The only negative to me is that the crown on the clubs digs in a bit. Not so much because it’s big but because the watch is so slim. Can’t go wrong either way.

no way. Michael, I've been looking the orange Nomos Club all week. Go for it!

Awesome seeing Christian s evil twin wearing the Panerai with the tag swinging here and there 😂

Michael, I was in the same position as you wearing a G-shock everyday. I recommend is out of left field. For a diver watch I would suggest to pickup an Omega Seamaster 300m. I recently purchased the black dial on a stainless steel bracelet. It's 100% the most versatile watch. However, if I had to choose between Oris and Nomos I would go with Oris Aquis blue or black dial variations.

"westfield lubmba" Here in New England we know about the Law of Conservation of Rs. When you take an R out, you have to put it in somewhere else. So you put the silverware in the drah, but then you hang the drawerings on the walls.

Thank God for that early Google Ad. A desperately needed escape hatch from the cuteness.

Michael has a routine of downing two beers before he starts I guess. Love the banter .

Another great video. I think Michael suits the oris divers 65

I agree with what I think most folk are saying; the Oris plastic dials are super unique, very fun and I can only imagine how many strap combinations you could pop off with it from natos, to suede etc. If I were you Michael that's what I'd go for!

The Nomos is awesome but if you want a diver, get a diver. The Aquis Upcycle is amazing, as is the Divers 65. That version with the dark green dial and bronze bezel that you put up was stunning! Classy enough to be versatile but with enough color to be obviously different from everything else

That moustache though! 😱😱😱

I just purchased the Nomos Club Campus in Future Orange. 🍊 I got the 38mm with the darker strap and quickly replaced with a lighter gray strap like the one that comes with the 36mm. Had to order from Germany. Love it!! 🧡

I love that Paneristi Radiomir. Wow 👌

Great video Gents! "No one likes to see that kinda guy fall" - had me rollin in laughs! Fellas should I leave the jubilee on my seiko SKX013 where it belongs or get the uncle seiko jubilee for my BB58, thoughts? Michael get a 1970 blue dial Sea King with that itty bitty whale it's Nasty! I say go Oris Diver 65 and talk patina and about the Momotaro Jeans company collab on your channel. I hate wearing suit jackets and suit pants it feels like a costume, feels like a pyjamas that I can't stretch in. Christian that voice is spot on tastefully throughout videos keep it. Cheers!

Go SINN if it’s like rally for a “Dive” watch 😛😝

I love those Breguets!!!

That green reverso this year is really nice.

I think Michael’s choices are all excellent! Go with whatever speaks to you most. You’ll never go wrong.

The Momotaro looks stunning in person. Such a beautiful dial. The Aquis with the plastic dial...yes please. I have a few Oris watches already otherwise I'd be buying both of those.

Why are you two wearing panerai? Is the panerai bubble coming back? 😂

Thank you Christian and Michael for the video!!! Very nice Breguet, Christian. Enjoy it. And Michael, Nomos is a beautiful watch and Oris to. Hard choice for you :)). off topic - I'm still working to see the old video from T&H :))

I really like the Formex essence 39.worth a look.

Michael-Nomos! , I am not a fanatic regarding Nomos but those watches you had on the screes will be forever in your collection.

Agree with Nomos. Great stuff. Love the Club with the cali dial as well as the bright red and/or blue Ahoi

Micheal, you need to get that jeans Oris. It's basically you

Momotaro is an Awesome watch! JLC reverse is incredible! I own both watches so I highly recommend.

The "What do you guys think?" Pause - had me crack up so loud. Oris Cotton Candy or find that Momotaro collab, as I say in my D'Artisans....

good episode. i agree that seiko made wonderful green dials. also, for some reason michael's mic makes his voice sound tinny/robotic. is that a setting thing or just an older mic? edit: I like the Nomos Club Orange Dial. Think it'll look real nice.

I love so much their chemistry

Diver 65 is the perfect watch.. Looks great, fits the wrist very well and looks just different enough.

I had a Nomos Club Automat. Perfect watch in everyway EXCEPT the darn lugs. They were just too long and the gap between the case and the strap ate away at me. Had to regrettably sell it for that reason alone. Those bronze Oris watches are NICE.

I like the future Orange Club so much! That is fun and suits Michael the best. I have 3 Nomos watches and I think they are the best for the money!

Big crown pointer is by far my favorite oris. So much so i own 2.. love em

About the Oris clean the ocean plastic thing, Christopher Ward is a brand that has been really into this for a couple of years now with a few of their models.

"I started this company" 😂

Hi Michael, excellent choices for your next watch! I'd love to give my two cents as to an owner of the Oris Momatoro Diver 65. I love this piece and I have a soft spot for Oris. I initially fell in love with the diver 65 looking at youtube video reviews of the watches and It was so hard to pick one out of their catalogue. I first bought a 36mm 65 on a bracelet with the black dial and Bronze edge bezel. What got me hooked was the beautiful proportions and obviously wonderful retro styling. I wore the watch all the time, formal or not, as it quickly became one of my favorites. Fast forward 6 months after my purchase, and Oris released their limited edition collab piece with Momotaro and I immediately wanted it. Quickly put my 36mm 65 up for sale and sold fast. Went to my AD and lucky enough they had it. I tried it on (keep in mind I have a small wrist, one of the reasons I gravitated towards the 36mm) but this wears fantastically. I believe if you want a 65, get it with bronze accents. This was my piece with a denim strap as I was looking at the Omega Railmaster with the blue dial, but this one took the cake as being more affordable and just that extra hint of special. The 65 is truly a unique piece in today's selection of vintage inspired dive watches, and this watch in particular just has beautiful qualities and such personification. My favorite design of it is the bronze accents with the mint green dial that fades into the edge of the dial covered with the dome crystal. Hope you find this just that bit more helpful in you deciding your next piece!

The Sinn U50 looks great. Completely opposite of dress, but definitely not something you need to worry about when wearing.

The new Breitling premier bentley green dial is quite stunning as well :)

Christian: “I’m 🤌 from 🤌 Jersey 🤌, bro 🤌.”

The Club Oranges 🍊 is a great watch and it's also a legendary type of buscuit in the UK.

Bromance. Michael is so like the kid at school that doesn’t leave you alone. So in love.

Oris for sure. I like the new funky upcycle dial as well.

I would go with any Nomos model that you suggested because of how it would even "elevate" a classic T-Shirt that you would typically wear. It's going to dress you up slightly more than an Oris diver would.

Of those GS models, the far right, mint color dial would be my choice. Looks really nice.

I have the Seiko LX SNR045 (Antarctica). Beautiful green dial. My only issue: people saying "Oh I love your Hulk!"

I know it's a different caliber of watch no pun intended, but as a "replacement" for a gshok for everyday wear I'm looking at a Marathon Diver. Teddy turned me on to them, and I think the Jumbo Diver will be my replacement for my gshok. It's still a watch guys watch with the auto movement but not so flashy that if you beat it up you're going to feel bad about it. Plus I love day dates and my wife likes the bigger chunkier watches on my wrist 7 5/8". The only thing I wished it had was a display back, but I just love being able to see how any auto watch works.

Nomos over Oris (imo) These nomos watches you're considering are just gorgeous

Any thoughts about the Rado Captain Cook?! I think that would be strong competition for the Oris

Michael, if you are considering the Aquis, take a look at Rado. They come in the smaller sizes that you like, a wide range of dial colors and TWICE the power reserve (38 on the aquis vs. 80 on the captain cook).

Give me that new Tag Heuer Aquaracer Night Diver.

Michael and I are twins. Love G-Shocks, Apple Watch, Grand Seiko, Nomos Club.

I'm wearing a H71556557 Hamilton Khaki field automatic chronograph silver/white dial on a vintage brown leather strap with a deployent clasp.

Get yourself an oris 65. Just got myself one and I'm so happy with it. You won't regret it 👌

the Oris is the best choice..i love the new plastics dial version looks so good and different

Go the Nomos club in orange !

The JLC Moon is my favorite Reverso. Second is the rose gold tribute fagliano.

For the price circa, 1k I’d definitely check out seiko prospex line. There are also some interesting offerings from micro brands. Halios, Monta, Baltic, Unimatic to name a few.

Wait what video did Christian interview Teddy in (or vice versa)? Would love to see that

I feel like an Oris would fit Michael better than a Nomos. Those bronze candy colors are especially dope

Michael check out the Breitling SuperOcean. Different sizes different strap options. Love the one that I own.

Both guys with the tags on ‘their’ watches 😂

Since you do like ORIS, try their ORIS Prodiver Chronograph. It's huge, both in size and presence! It is expensive, but worth it!!! At 1000m water resistance you can wear it ANYWHERE and be confident! It is NOT a dress watch! if you want a dress watch, buy a dress watch. IF you want a diver, then get the ORIS Prodiver Chronograph!

"When Michael came...."

JLC Tribute Moon looks amazing, but it was too big.

Nomos isn’t a diver. So go for the Oris. Two other interesting ones would be Tags Aquaracer or Certina DS super PH500 (love the orange one just screams 70ies)

awesome, love my SBGA407 "skyflake" but green's my favorite color. (just got my rolex Palm motif 2 days ago!!!) now I feel like i need to scratch another grand seiko itch, dammit!
