I wish I considered something under 3000 a cheap watch lol my threshold is more like 300 for cheap.

@crowlern Год назад

Longines Spirit is the perfect watch, I'm so glad to see it being featured here. Tried it on and fell in love immediately. It's a one-and-done candidate for sure

@justoli4866 Год назад

3000 is by no means cheap for most people, but sometimes our perspective gets warped when looking at all the crazy expensive pieces. There are a lot of amazing options in the price segment. I got a Longines Flagship Heritage, and absolutely love it, it's incredible for the price.

@ProtomanZ Год назад

I really dont understand why people dont talk about the flagship. It seems like a pretty great deal.

@justoli4866 Год назад

@@ProtomanZ It really is! Maybe it just gets overshadowed a bit by the Spirit collection even though it's a completely different style.

Is it the black dial?

@justoli4866 Год назад

@@burnttoast9890 I personally liked the white dial better so that's what I went with

@kurtp5379 Год назад

I am interested in the Heritage Flagship as well, but without the date window. Apparently they only offered this model without the date window as an anniversary model. Too bad, because I would have bought the Flagship without the date window in a heartbeat!

One day $3000 will feel cheap to me, but right now that diaper budget is much larger than the hobby budget. A Seiko 5 felt like a splurge for me and I’ve been wearing it every day since I bought it. Love it!

@phildupuis1084 Год назад

Great to see a video in a price world I live in. I agree with all your recommendations. I am seriously looking at the Tissot PRX 35mm, the Hamilton Boulton and an Oris Cervo Volante (surprised that one didn't make your list). Thoroughly enjoyed this.

@pabs3065 Год назад

Started listening to your podcast. The length is perfect. Listen while is drive. Keep it up.

@dellwright1407 Год назад

I've worn Rolex, Omega, Grand Seiko, Tudor... and the watch I wear daily is an old style Tissot PR100 - perfect 38mm, lovely blue dial. Its not a dive watch, a field watch, a heritage or homage watch, its not a chrono or a pilot watch. Its a watch. If you get the right Tissot they offer a lot of bang for your buck.

@low42g Год назад

I like the Tissot & Hamilton chronographs featured (esp. the Hamy), but another chronograph worth considering in this price range is the echo/neutra Cortina 1956. Beautiful design & box sapphire, Sellita SW510M movement, great dial choices.

@crossbones8956 Год назад

I bought a Club back in ‘18 and barely ever wore it. Something about the dial color set me off, so I sold it. But I still really liked the watch and the company. So I bought an Absolute Grey 36, put it on a grey silicone strap and pretty much wore it every day this summer. I love this watch. And now I also want to get another, similar one from them.

@texex9251 Год назад

Great content Michael. You'll love the Nomos Club Neomatik is an amazing watch, I have it in siren blue. It does have a depth rating of 200Ms but it does not have a screw down crown. Only the Ahoi does. Keep up the great work.

@charliefabrikant398 Год назад

I’ve really liked a lot of the new Breitlings. Thanks for showcasing this!

@dannyg6592 Год назад

Congrats on your Nomos purchase, I am a fan of the Club series. Great looking watches and good values. I also like the 37mm Longines Spirit - it is a solid choice for an entry level luxury watch Both are impressive watches at their respective price points.

@PlanI8skate Год назад

I love videos like this. I’m in college so I can’t just throw around rolex money on my watch hobby. But if I save for a year or two I could reasonably afford a mechanical chronograph like that Hamilton. I like how it’s lopsided too, watches with weird quirks are what I am drawn to. That Longines spirit is also great for putting the date wheel at the 6o clock. Great selection

I really really tried with the PRX. I really did. But I returned it a day later. I figured I wouldn't wear it. I figured I barely wear my Vacheron Constantin, my Tudor Black Bay Steel, 39mm 1926 and my 18k Universal Geneve Polerouter Date since I bought the Datejust 41 Mother of Pearl. I would def do the Nomos.

Before I ever got truly into watches, the first watch that ever caught my eye on someone's wrist was a Tissot. I thought it was so much higher end than it actually was! I think sometimes we can get "watch guy brain poisoning" that makes it harder to see a watch for exactly what it is.

Ngl, I'm a fan of watches, but as a college student, I don't have the means to get the watches I love. I love that you gave great alternatives, but I'm sticking with my timex till I get my first watch watch!

@notenoughtime7274 Год назад

Great video, message and theme How much of what we both crave , and also ignore, is driven by great marketing, brand messaging, and perception. If you took an unfamiliar audience and used a Tissot PRX in a ‘blind’ test, or one with the logo replaced with a brand marketed and perceived as a more high end luxury brand, how much more would we pay. How much is great brand marketing of just a few brands, fuelling desirability and in turn distorted out of proportion pricing. I know I succumb to this !! Great to distill real quality and value and where marketing mark up kicks in. Longines Heritage diver is fav of theirs for me

@alzinifelshoni2602 Год назад

That Seiko Alpinist made by Tissot watches (10:20)..... I can hear Christian's voice: "Michael, c'mon!!!"

@HenryPerez_royal_hp Год назад

Omega has done the same thing as that Hamilton watch where one side of the case is used in this sort of quirky way that makes one side of the case look bigger as they use the actual case as lug guards instead of adding eagle beaks like most manufacturers do to guard the crown. It’s quirky but I think it’s cool in a way.

@OdysseyZZGaming Год назад

I find it kind of funny that for the Squarespace ad, it seems like Christian showed up just for it even though Michael says he is on vacation. Like in reality Christian being 'on vacation' is just being off camera and making Michael do the video himself.

What you said about the club campus in the end is exactly what I did. Bought it in May and am supposedly getting it in March 2023. The Club Campus 737 with the sport bracelet and the suede strap as well in gray, that is. Manual winding, seetrough caseback, tkose orange/red accents.. I can't wait to get it!

@samsullivan9701 8 месяцев назад

The Hamilton has an asymmetrical case lugs just like the vintage Speedmasters from like 1966-on with the 105.012 reference. that side of the case was enlarged to provide support and guarding for the pushers and crown that the 105.003 reference lacked. It IS odd though.

@dedecacu1126 Год назад

Hi, i tried to get the Bucherer Prx but like you i was struggling with the lower price watches. And know i realy regret it. Should have jump on it :/.

@AKhan.28 Год назад

Love that Nomos! But if anyone is looking under 3k you can get a Black Bay 58 blue dial for well under 3k nowadays! That would be my choice For Longines I'd pick the Heritage Chrono, Heritage sector dial, or the GMT Zulu time. Although the chrono and gmt are right at about 3k I'd add Sinn watches to this list.. 556, 104, 105... GADA! Oris Diver 65, Aquis, Big Crown pointer date (I believe you have one of these)

@albinf40 Год назад

I love the nomos campus. I'm buying the blue purple one when I'm graduating in the winter as a present to myself

@maartenk4327 Год назад

I do like that lower market brands are taking some design inspiration from more unattainable brands. It prevents as many consumers buying knock offs while stile getting a watch that they can be proud of wearing

@grounddu Год назад

@cofrane4899 Год назад

The Speedmaster also has a "bigger" right side, just like the hamilton aviator. It's meant because of the pushers so that, to the eyes, the case does not look disproportionate.

@jpdemer5 Год назад

I share your enthusiasm for both Hamilton and Tissot: tremendous quality for the price, with both brands. Not a fan of the Hamilton aviation design - those "turtle" cases just don't do it for me - but I have their Khaki Field and absolutely love it. (Paid half of the MSRP, which only adds to the love.) I think Longines is the ideal "next level" brand, when you're ready to spend four figures on a watch - their Legend diver is on my short list. (Unless I win the lottery, in which case I can spring for Tudor's Pelagos 39.)

@bravececil4147 Год назад

That last Hamilton is cool, 100m WR does it for me since that’s what their field watches that I like seem to be missing. Their watches always seem to be missing something. I am personally waiting for the Nomos watch club 36 to be delivered. Will be the 6th time I purchase a Nomos and have to agree with what you’re saying. They never disappointed me.
