Wow! I just started watching your videos, and I love the anti-bullshit attitude. You earned yourself a sub friend lmao. But just out of curiosity, how do you feel about Movado's? I've been thinking about it and I feel like I'd like your opinion on them. Thanks!
Hah, on the contrary, I don't know any of your subs that WON'T like you when you're angry ;) But I feel that, most of the movado's are pretty trash, but I really only like the original 38mm black museum dial, with the case in silver lmao
Generally, that’s all watch enthusiasts. The stereotypical (to an outsider) “watch lover” who frowns upon anything less than $10k is actually frowned upon by true enthusiasts. True watch enthusiasts would wear a 13 dollar Casio one day and a Rolex the next.
Your affordable 3 choices are perfect. Most video creators would try to mix it up with diff brands just for the sake of having multiple brands - but it’s true that Seiko just excels in every category for great value watches.
My two sons have shown an interest in watches and now I have a good shopping list for Christmas! I would compliment anyone wearing any of the watches that you displayed! Great job!
This is what makes watches so fascinating. I had that Cartier tank, but the Vermeil flaked off. It was nice when it was new. I bought my son a Seiko Tuna, and he loves it. I’ve owned three Rolexes, two of them Subs. All sold. To me, Rolex is a fine $3500 watch that costs you $10K. LOL
@@thulegezelschap5884 The Vostok can pick up scratches, but if they are not too deep, easily buffed out with a microfiber cloth and any mildly abrasive product. I have used toothpaste, Brasso, automotive chrome cleaner and polishes, Scratch-X, all with success.
Thoroughly enjoyed the video. I just purchased a Seiko "Save The Ocean" watch a few days ago and I'm looking for videos that show how the strap is adjusted for size. Thanks for the great service that you offer!
The watches I currently own happen to be exactly at the $1000 mark: Seiko 5 SNZG13 - everyday beater watch Christopher Ward C5 Malvern 595 - dress watch Seiko skx007 - sports watch
I'm partial to GMT watches personally -- these provide an extra level of practical due to that 4th hand. After all, given that the primary function of a watch should be to tell time, having the ability to simultaneously track 2 (or 3 even) time zones makes these watches 2-3x more useful. I think they look nice too!
I have three watches that I was able to squeeze under $1000 that can rival it. I got my SKX 013 for $150 (Dive/Sport), Hamilton Khaki Mechanical for a steal at $200 (Everyday/Field), and a stunning Stowa Marine Klassik for $650 (Dress/Casual). I also love that they are all made in different countries.
Pretty much how my collection would look like, but slightly different and more affordable. Dress: 1965 Doxa Sport: Casio DW5000SL daily wear: Seiko SNX111
@@JoshPendergrassFilms that's just your opinion, I for one have both Citizen and Rolex watches. Completely different leagues, the Rolex watches are pretty nice but with the Citizen I'm never worried about damaging it or beating it up and enjoy wearing it just as much. At the end of the day you are paying over the odds for a Rolex, but it is what it is.
I combined the two: three watches that I own, and I paid $1000 for the three... Orient Bambino, Seiko Alpinist, Christopher Ward Trident Quartz. Bought all new, but on sale.
Just got a Mako, had to try it for $160. Very very impressive for so cheap with hand winding! I measured 2 sec fast/day! And amazing power reserve! Love the lume too!
Eddie Isaacs - I've been very impressed with Orient. My son has an Orient Star that's quite nice. However, our boy Jory is not sold on the Mako. When he meets one face to face maybe he'll change his mind.
there must be a reason why they are so successful and so highly regarded. I just hope the hands don't fall off lol It won't be around long enough to find out. I have decided to part ways with it, it just won't get enough wrist time here, but I had a ball with it for just a few pesos. And I may revisit. Orient Star, their higher level, seem interesting. This made me take note... wornandwound.com/review/orient-star-classic-review/
Bought a Seiko 5 Monster, white face about 10 years ago. This watch runs and runs. Great lume and never had a problem with it. I take great care of all my watches and never have that beat-up look. No scratches on the crystal and several times a year get a nice complement on it. Highly recommend getting one!
My 3 are: Sports: Omega Planet Ocean 42mm (220151) Dress: Rolex oyster perpetual date , stainless steel in White with the fluted bezel Everyday: Seiko Alpinist (also in green but with a Hearst pilot strap) My bonus: 1973 Seiko single barrel chronograph. Made in the original Nagano factory. (This was handed down to me by pops who was a sailor for 42 years and picked it up new in Japan. Lots of scratches from working on ship engines in the middle of the ocean. Miss that guy...)
My budget collection would be a Seiko SRP777 (which I own and love w/ that 007 NATO strap), SARB035, and Casio GShock DW5600. I don't know how you feel about digital quartz watches but IMHO some GShocks deserves respect.
Seiko and Casio, have earned their place in the watch wolrd, they aren't so popular without a reason! Rolex, Pateks , Jacobs, all are great watches, but these kind of watches are only good for keeping them in a safe as jewels. Seikos, are the way to go, for a good battery trouble free, lifetime watch!!
Most beautiful watch: Take an in person look at the Seiko SARX029 Black laquer Urushi dial with Black and Gold genuine Alligator strap. My new purchase. Love it 😊
Rolex Explorer no date 39mm - in my opinion, this is most beautiful watch ever made. Seiko SKX007/009 - diver, beater, everyday watch, demands and earns respect, no nonsense watch. Nuf said! Omega Speedmaster Professional MOM - Perfect watch for every occasion, very versatile and iconic.
I usually buy my dress watches fairly inexpensively and in quartz because I almost never wear them and just want to pull them out and for them to tick. Right now I'm using a Bulova Precisionist that I bought from a jeweler half price, it looks good and, most importantly, is slim enough to wear under my shirt cuffs (plus it is super accurate). Alongside that I'd include my Seiko Prospex Samurai Orange and my 10-15 year old Tissot PRS 200 that I picked up for 150 from a pawn shop to round out the top three. Considering the Samurai is the most expensive of the three, I think I did pretty well.
At the Battle of Waterloo, Napolean Bonaparte was carrying a Breguet; his nemesis, the Iron Duke of Wellington, was also carrying a Breguet. That's really all you need to know about watches. If you want to know what time it is ...... look at your smart phone.
I agree with the SKX. Although the Orient Bambino may need a shout out in the mix for a dress watch under 1000. And maybe the Hamilton Khaki field watch.
I love the bambino to, but something about my dress watch being "technically" the lowest end of the three doesn't sit right. Darn better make it a 4 piece ;1
Ultimate 3 watch collection: 1. Zenith Elite - dress watch perfection. Ultra thin, 38 mm. I have one with GMT function. 2. Breitling Colt - versatile sports/everyday watch. Versatile. With the circle dial, it's beautiful as well. 3. Omega Speedmaster - need a manual. Been to the moon and a chronograph as well.
I would take the "cocktail time" over the Tank for sure, but its more a function of my wrist making the Cartier look like a ladies watch. Iconic design, but not practical for me.
Yep, a similar choice variety of Citizen eco drive. A choice of leather through to titanium to make them yours. Also way under $1000.. The squeeze tab unlocking stops metal brackets from springing open
Mine are my 1952 Omega Geneva, silver faced date just and my RGMT tritium diving watch. Those are the 3 of mine that I would have if just 3, I love my seiko watches.
The most ideal three-piece combo (not the cheapest) Sports: Casio G-Shock Mudmaster Everyday: Grand Seiko Snowflake Dress: Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227R
Out of what I own it's the Atlantic Worldmaster Original for dress, Glycine Combat Sub 48 as my preferred sports watch, and a black bezel Submariner as my go to for everything else My under $1k all of which I own would be a black dial Orient Bambino V3, Tissot V8 Chrono white dial with a leather band, and the SKX007 with a military green nato strap
Citizen NY0040-09EE (dive), Citizen NB0040-58E (sports watch), Citizen NB1031-53L (sports/dive) and finally Citizen NP4010-55E (dress). All in house movements. All (way) under a $1000. All very good!
Orient Bambino IV, Steeldive 1953, Proxima PX 01 I know, the Steeldive is an homage watch. But hey, seriously, the quality of the piece is through the roof for the price. I caught mine on sale for 95 bones!
My top 3 in the rotation..Seiko 6309-7040( beater )...Mont Blanc star xl 38mm Chrono ( 5-6 days a week work watch..have to wear a suit ) sub ceramic no date for my days off..the sub gets less wear time than my Seiko as I'm mostly roughin' it.
If you want a versatile watch that has everything and its not to distracting. I would go for the SEIKO SARB033, it can be found on the grey market for under 1k. If you want to go up a notch I would go with the TUDOR BLACK BAY 36mm. If you have all the money to throw at it the ROLEX EXPLORER 14270.
I love the marine master but if i am to get a dedicated sports watch that doesn't break the bank, I'd probably get the ECO-Zilla. its solar powered, its 300m water resist, it has iincredible wrist precense and the design is just as gaudy, though also as lovable as the MM. i mean it looks like a diver helm!!!! a nautilus!!! ( not to be confused about the Patek Naut obviously ) respectable choices though, but wouldve loved it more if you added some "other options" in case its not availabe in certain countries. I.E. the all of the ones you recommended arent readiily available here in Canada, so it wouldve been the Orient Bambino for dress Hamilton Khaki for sports Citizen Ecozilla for sports Recreational or if you're extra cheap - Invicta Pro diver cause why the fuck not, its acutally a great watch for the price.
1. Sports: Chineese B-Uhr Chronograph, with Sea-gull ST19 mechanical movement (Has no brand name that I know of, but can be picked up from Merkur Store on ALi EXpress). $200 2. Dress: Sea-gull 819.368 w/ Sea-gull ST-21 (roman numerals, Guilloche dial) $200 3. Daily wear - A Seiko 5 Sports SNZ55 "Fifty-Five Fathoms", either the blue dial or gold trim version for something dressier. ($145) Total: $545.00 IMHO enormously! more bang for the buck than your 3 affordable picks!... the Sea-gull has elegance and it's ST21 automatic is a vastly under-rated, high beat movement. The B-Uhr Chronograph destroys the SKX with a column wheel chronograph in a beautifully finished case and gorgeous crown, etc. The Cocktail time (or rather, one of the Presage versions Seiko released recently as replacements) is hard to match -- it's looks surpass anything else in the realm of affordable watches. Although I like the details, almost any other Seiko would be preferable to the Alpinist, which to my eyes is an ugly duck ...the hands just do not work with that dial. Another good combo would be to re-arrange your choices with the Cocktail Time + Tuna + a Seiko 5 to replace that over-priced Rolex.
@@lordbostitch6209 agreed wholeheartedly! And, I actually, have several Seiko and Orients for that. I just prefer having more money for feeding my family and helping a good cause instead of a Rolex.
Great video as always and great choices! My affordable collection would contain the: SARB033 (tried on the cocktail, too thick for my taste) SRP777 (better movement and finishing then the SKX007) F-91W (don't like the green on the SARB017, and you always need a watch that can take a beating)
Great video and six great picks. Seiko are the tops for value. My 3 picks from my own collection would be..... Oris 65 Omega Speedmaster Reduced Sinn 104. For the under 1000.... Seiko Turtle SRP 777 Seiko Sarg 011 Seiko Aplinist.
That's basically what I would go for, but would swap the Sinn for something dressier - either an Omega Constellation Vintage or some Zenith Elite... Or if I had some serious cash a Blancpain? So many great dress watches to choose from. I would love to keep the Alpinist and ad a Datejust though... That goes to 5, I guess, so cheating a bit.
Orient Bambino for dress instead of the CT, a Tissot Everytime Swissmatic for casual, and a Citizen Promaster Titanium (BN0200) for sports and casual. White dial and minimalist design of the Tissot is more versatile (with outfits) than the green and gold Alpinist. It's not sporty though, but if you find yourself wanting that, it's a great reason to take out/wear the diver, which won't be dead, but deadly accurate, since it's a solar. The huge/heavy Seiko also isn't a good sports watch. Too heavy above the water. Alternatively I might get a Seiko Sarb033/035 instead of the Tissot. There's also an automatic version of the Promaster, but I actually think every collection should have at least 1 proper quartz piece.
I gave up wrist watches, but I still have three watches to add: 1. Casio GW-5000 for exercise and swimming. Usually strapped to my belt. 2.Seiko quartz JDM railroad pocket watch. 3. 1943(?) Hamilton pocket watch - WWII Stainless steel.
Im not that into sports watches so Ill mix it up a bit (it's not a diver) Id go with: Dress: Tissot Open heart powermatic 80 Everyday: Seiko Prospex automatic Sports: Tissot PRX quarts I struggled with sport, as I could also pick a casio here, with the stop watch and such, but im not sure about the waterproofing.
Darren Turner the tank watch looks to be from the late 70's which explains the style. It needs to be replated and to have a Cartier band put on it to be returned to it's original disco age glory. Watch sizes go in and out of style like tie or lapel widths. Watches have started trending smaller. One of the requirements of a real men's dress watch is that it easily fits under the shirt cuff. Since many offices have gone casual, the thinness of a man's watch doesn't matter so much any more. It did matter during the time period when that watch was made. Must de Cartier!
I think the Style and Design of the Tank is nothing else than unbeaten Genius and belongs to Top with the Jaeger / Reverso and I bet you drive a Japanese Car, mountainhobo ( in pink or purple )
I agree but I prefer the Panthere medium size with two strands of gold on the stainless steel bracelet. To me, the Panthere is one of the most elegant watch made.
H1delta the TT Panthere is gorgeous, but 8k for a quartz watch seems like a bit much to me. One of my frustrations with Cartier is that for what their ladies’ watches cost, they really should be mechanical.
@ Work: Casio AQ190WD-1A @ Dress: Citizen BM6560-54H @ Casual / Eye Catching: Old or New Timex 35mm Indiglo; Band replacement: Milano Kreisler Two-tone
My expensive 3 piece collection would be a Nomos for dress, a Citizen Chronomaster Eco-Drive for everyday, and GS spring drive diver (sbga229) for sports, and I would have to add a g-shock square as a beater. Would be a few situations, where I wouldn't want to risk smashing that GS diver...

personally I would swap the SKX for the turtle. I love my skx but it doesn't get much wrist time with my turtle still ticking.
+Brian C Love the turtle.
Turtle PADI, I own one, the dial on that is spectacular, but the Blue Lagoon model is breath taking, but so is the jacked up price on that model.
Turtle all the way.
1. Luminox sentry 2. Reactor gamma black with tritiun (discontinued) 3. Casio g shock mtg900
If you want a versatile watch that has everything and its not to distracting. I would go for the SEIKO SARB033, it can be found on the grey market for under 1k. If you want to go up a notch I would go with the TUDOR BLACK BAY 36mm. If you have all the money to throw at it the ROLEX EXPLORER 14270.
Rolex Explorer 214270 and Omega Seamaster, my two favs all day long !
I love the marine master
but if i am to get a dedicated sports watch that doesn't break the bank, I'd probably get the ECO-Zilla. its solar powered, its 300m water resist, it has iincredible wrist precense and the design is just as gaudy, though also as lovable as the MM. i mean it looks like a diver helm!!!! a nautilus!!! ( not to be confused about the Patek Naut obviously )
respectable choices though, but wouldve loved it more if you added some "other options" in case its not availabe in certain countries. I.E. the all of the ones you recommended arent readiily available here in Canada, so it wouldve been the
Orient Bambino for dress
Hamilton Khaki for sports
Citizen Ecozilla for sports Recreational
or if you're extra cheap - Invicta Pro diver cause why the fuck not, its acutally a great watch for the price.
Alba watches of sriko are also good looking.
1. Sports: Chineese B-Uhr Chronograph, with Sea-gull ST19 mechanical movement (Has no brand name that I know of, but can be picked up from Merkur Store on ALi EXpress). $200
2. Dress: Sea-gull 819.368 w/ Sea-gull ST-21 (roman numerals, Guilloche dial) $200
3. Daily wear - A Seiko 5 Sports SNZ55 "Fifty-Five Fathoms", either the blue dial or gold trim version for something dressier. ($145)
Total: $545.00
IMHO enormously! more bang for the buck than your 3 affordable picks!... the Sea-gull has elegance and it's ST21 automatic is a vastly under-rated, high beat movement. The B-Uhr Chronograph destroys the SKX with a column wheel chronograph in a beautifully finished case and gorgeous crown, etc.
The Cocktail time (or rather, one of the Presage versions Seiko released recently as replacements) is hard to match -- it's looks surpass anything else in the realm of affordable watches.
Although I like the details, almost any other Seiko would be preferable to the Alpinist, which to my eyes is an ugly duck ...the hands just do not work with that dial.
Another good combo would be to re-arrange your choices with the Cocktail Time + Tuna + a Seiko 5 to replace that over-priced Rolex.
Hamilton Khaki, Fortis Flieger Professional and for the cheapest choice one of my favourite Seiko SNZG series
I was expecting 3 G-Shocks. Rolex is the last watch I would buy.
@@lordbostitch6209 agreed wholeheartedly! And, I actually, have several Seiko and Orients for that. I just prefer having more money for feeding my family and helping a good cause instead of a Rolex.
Gshock mud master does it all
Great video as always and great choices!
My affordable collection would contain the:
SARB033 (tried on the cocktail, too thick for my taste)
SRP777 (better movement and finishing then the SKX007)
F-91W (don't like the green on the SARB017, and you always need a watch that can take a beating)
+Chester Lau the srp777 is an awesome watch. Great taste as always, Chester!
I only own (and love) the Orient FAA02004B9 Ray ll, but your enthusiasm makes me want to buy at least one Seiko in the near future!
I agree that the cocktail time is a gorgeous watch. I also love the black dial SARB033. But with those two we’ve blown the $1000 budget!
You need a casio too!!!!
Great video and six great picks. Seiko are the tops for value.
My 3 picks from my own collection would be.....
Oris 65
Omega Speedmaster Reduced
Sinn 104.
For the under 1000....
Seiko Turtle SRP 777
Seiko Sarg 011
Seiko Aplinist.
+mike o connor Good taste!
That's basically what I would go for, but would swap the Sinn for something dressier - either an Omega Constellation Vintage or some Zenith Elite... Or if I had some serious cash a Blancpain? So many great dress watches to choose from.
I would love to keep the Alpinist and ad a Datejust though... That goes to 5, I guess, so cheating a bit.
The cocktail time, Alpinist were awesome! Thanks.
Great watch the SKX007, I brought the Japanese domestic version last year it's still in it's box.
You don't need a dress watch if you slum it 24/7/365 lol
1: G-Shock
2: G-Shock
3: G-Shock
Would you also include the G-Shock? Or maybe a G-Shock instead?
jdl 96 yea I mean are you really gunna wear a g-shock with a suit.
Orient Bambino for dress instead of the CT, a Tissot Everytime Swissmatic for casual, and a Citizen Promaster Titanium (BN0200) for sports and casual.
White dial and minimalist design of the Tissot is more versatile (with outfits) than the green and gold Alpinist. It's not sporty though, but if you find yourself wanting that, it's a great reason to take out/wear the diver, which won't be dead, but deadly accurate, since it's a solar. The huge/heavy Seiko also isn't a good sports watch. Too heavy above the water.
Alternatively I might get a Seiko Sarb033/035 instead of the Tissot. There's also an automatic version of the Promaster, but I actually think every collection should have at least 1 proper quartz piece.
I gave up wrist watches, but I still have three watches to add:
1. Casio GW-5000 for exercise and swimming.
Usually strapped to my belt.
2.Seiko quartz JDM railroad pocket watch.
3. 1943(?) Hamilton pocket watch - WWII Stainless steel.
Where did you get your SKX print behind you? I must have one!
nine37 , thank me later.

Im not that into sports watches so Ill mix it up a bit (it's not a diver)
Id go with:
Dress: Tissot Open heart powermatic 80
Everyday: Seiko Prospex automatic
Sports: Tissot PRX quarts
I struggled with sport, as I could also pick a casio here, with the stop watch and such, but im not sure about the waterproofing.
A caveman wearing a Cartier haha
Calling him caveman is an overstatement lol maybe primate
That watch would look absurd on him for sure. It has a very feminine presence.
It's not fair to mock this man, he clearly has severe learning difficulties.
My everyday watch is a Seiko Sarb017 Alpinist on a jubilee. Its awesome!
1. Sport: Seiko SKX007 (movement swap-hand winding, hacking, sapphire crystal).
2. Dress: Orient Star Classic.
3. Casual: Seiko SARG011.
I disagree with the best sports watch. IMHP the Omega Seamaster Professional watch. It is affordable on the used market.
That Tank is the ugliest thing I've ever seen! It belongs on a chicks wrist!
Darren Turner the tank watch looks to be from the late 70's which explains the style. It needs to be replated and to have a Cartier band put on it to be returned to it's original disco age glory. Watch sizes go in and out of style like tie or lapel widths. Watches have started trending smaller. One of the requirements of a real men's dress watch is that it easily fits under the shirt cuff. Since many offices have gone casual, the thinness of a man's watch doesn't matter so much any more. It did matter during the time period when that watch was made. Must de Cartier!
Its 1920 " Jugendstiel " Stile and thats how old it is, not 70s LizintheATL ....
I think the Style and Design of the Tank is nothing else than unbeaten Genius and belongs to Top with the Jaeger / Reverso and I bet you drive a Japanese Car, mountainhobo ( in pink or purple )
I agree but I prefer the Panthere medium size with two strands of gold on the stainless steel bracelet. To me, the Panthere is one of the most elegant watch made.
H1delta the TT Panthere is gorgeous, but 8k for a quartz watch seems like a bit much to me. One of my frustrations with Cartier is that for what their ladies’ watches cost, they really should be mechanical.
@ Work: Casio AQ190WD-1A
@ Dress: Citizen BM6560-54H
@ Casual / Eye Catching: Old or New Timex 35mm Indiglo; Band replacement: Milano Kreisler Two-tone
Timex. Cheap, accurate and you never worry about breaking it or having it stolen.
Why have I wasted my time on this
these are definitely 3 nice watches.
+Adam SUC420 Thanks man!
lol ya for a bum! they have no style... NOOO CLASS, EITHER TO FAT OR TO DAM UGLY! COME ON PPL SERIOUSLY? U MUST BE JOKING
My expensive 3 piece collection would be a Nomos for dress, a Citizen Chronomaster Eco-Drive for everyday, and GS spring drive diver (sbga229) for sports, and I would have to add a g-shock square as a beater. Would be a few situations, where I wouldn't want to risk smashing that GS diver...
Today those Seiko watches mentioned in the under 1000 usd are all priced much higher. You can buy all three for 2000 to 1600 usd
