I have a Rotary Cambridge. It is a great watch with an old-school aesthetic at a reasonable price. The absence of a second hand makes it appear like an automatic watch. It also takes a variety of straps effortlessly. Highly recommended.
I bought the Seiko Negroni, as it is named that beautiful red Cocktail Time Seiko SRPE41 in 2022. Since then it has become one of my favorite watches. For around $320 it is a great watch. You made a great video.
I think that the Seeker might be the prettiest one of the bunch. That being said, the rest of the watches on this list are very cool in their own right! Have a great one bud!
That Beaucroft is gorgeous, stylish and elegant! The Seiko cocktail time range have some of the most stunning dials I've seen on a watch. Great list Kieron, here's to 25k subs my friend! 👍
I agree - I'm going to be getting my hands on that Beaucroft next month! Can't wait to give it the full review. Thanks Rik, you was on the channel super early, I appreciate you still watching and commenting after all this time!
I’ve a few Casio Enticers with a starting price of $13 which are quite gorgeous, especially MTP-V005L with blue sunburst dial which has got a fan base among my friends and family !
Just got my Seiko Presage yesterday, but I went with the Green dial and it is SPECTACULAR! It perfectly complements my basic core emerald jewelry. It was way under $500 though - $320 on Amazon. The bracelet is trash IMO. I switched it with a nice black leather with a gold buckle. I think it works well together and got lots of comments/compliments.
Great timing for this I am currently looking at a expensive looking dress watch myself. The two I have in mind are Tissot Le Locle auto and the Frederique Constant Classic auto. I feel these my have been above your budget at £580 and £895.
Is there a place where you recommend I buy a saphire replacement glass for the seiko watches? I just can't bring myself to buy or wear anything less than saphire. I would love to own a cocktail time if only it had saphire.
I must admit I've always overlooked baltany as I'm not a massive fan of the trench watches they sell which were the only ones I was aware of for a good while, but recently I've been looking into some of their dressier models like the driver and the oyster tributes and they look amazing for the price, the mirror polishing and dial finish is top notch.
I was the same. But now, It's actually one of the only 'homage' brands that I actually like. I appreciate that they go vintage with the inspiration. Don't get me wrong, they make some crap watches too... but they have some great looking pieces.
Trivia fact- that gold Seiko 5 appears on “American Psycho”, Christian Bale character wears a gold Rolex, which he does wear in some scenes. Yet in most scenes he actually wears that Seiko, probably because of budgetary reasons. No one noticed. Back then. Except of a watch nerd or two😉.
Just buy a moderately expensive watch on the secondary market. Otherwise you’re not going to impress anyone who doesn’t know much about watches, and conversely those who do. Sorted.
the Seiko Presage line has only good looks.. the quality is very poor.. the movement is fixed to the case with 2 thin metal parts and if you jiggle the watch you hear the movement rattle.. and the glas is highly reflective and you cant see the time in direct sunlight because of that... and the clasp is stamped and jingly.. for 500-700€ thats a ripoff... the 200€ SKX was 5x better vallue and quality but no fancy 3d effects
@@TopTierTicker 😂 yeah i bought the seiko presage blue moon for 600€ and was heavily dissapoointed... thought its a bad batch so i went to the store abd tried another one and another one.. they were all build crappy like that.. had to sell the watch cause it felt hollow and the things i listed up were very annoying after a while... got a seiko skx aftrr that and the quality is quite good. put a ceramic bezel & saphire glas on it. and it feels very premium

Thanks for a super mention Kieron! We’re proud to be featured with such a great list of watches. 👏👏
Keep up the great work guys 🙏
absolutely beautiful watch, too bad it wasn't available here from local online marketplace atm
The Seiko SRPE41 was my wedding watch! Absolutely gorgeous with my burgundy bow tie
That's great, burgandy tie too 👌👌 that's one dapper man
Your videos provide very interesting alternatives in design.

Loving the Sekio SRPE41,the red looks unbelievable, me thinks another for my Collection.
Real beauty ey!
For me, the Revelot also takes inspiration from the Chopard Alpine Eagle, beautiful watch often being overlooked.

Will always vouch for Beaucroft. Matt and Karim are beyond passionate. Totally not bias at all being a Cambridge lad myself 😅

@@TopTierTicker Your more than welcome mate, I really enjoy your videos.
TTT is hands down my favourite watch channel 👍
Again a great video about real world watches that most of us can afford , not watches that we can only dream about
Youre slowly become one of my fave watch channels....
Cheers Damien! Glad you enjoy my videos mate. It's a pleasure to have you on the channel
That Beaucroft and Milano look SWEET!
Theres a D1 Milano on ebay for £150! I'm very tempted 😆
Thank you for the shoutout 🙏 great budget recommendations :)

Good choice, I too love the Mojito. Enjoy it with good health my friend 🙏
Amazing content. I learned so many new brands from this video. Thank You!!!
Another excellent list. I’m a seeker of watches with applied Breguet numerals so that Baltany is my favorite. Thank you for the video
I just want a saiko cocktail time with a saphire glass. Please seiko
D1 Milano looks great. What do you think of the d1 milano square?
Great timing for this I am currently looking at a expensive looking dress watch myself. The two I have in mind are Tissot Le Locle auto and the Frederique Constant Classic auto. I feel these my have been above your budget at £580 and £895.
I did actually consider the Le Locle to feature, that one is a truly beautiful piece. Not sure about the FC, I'll check it out now
You need a San Martin or two on this list.

@@TopTierTicker totally agree, if you're going to create an homage watch, go all the way and base it on a century old high end luxury piece!
Some really great watches for great prices on that list. I learned about some new brands.
That's good to hear! Thanks for watching 🙏
The Phoibos Eagle Ray is top notch. I own that exact variant.
Good video! You did a great job with the Davinci Resolve editing software.
Do you have me some Quartz alternatives recommanation to the rolex Explorer 1 ? Should have Quartz, 34-39mm, Saphirglas and under 500€ 👍🏻
Check out the Vaer S3 tradition 👍
Can you do a video on a watches that are 40mm or less? For us with small wrists
Most watches I cover tend to be below 40mm because I too have a tiny wrist. But, I'll get round to that specific topic at some point soon :)
Top man
Phoibos jeeah. Waiting for my Venezianico Nereide..

Your quips are entertaining.
Glad you think so. My girlfriend thinks I'm a loser 😉😂

As start how much did you consider affordable?
Well, that's subjective. So I make sure to cover different price points. But typically, I stick around the $500 mark as the limit.
@@TopTierTicker thks
👏👏👏👏👏
Can you please do video only about skeleton watches 🙏
the D1 is now 740 dollars on their website, LMAO

A tad dramatic, but I see your points. That's why they've featured on a list about the aesthetic and not value for money :)

you don't have any watches to show ?
I show my watches in other videos, and I show a few of mine in this one too. But I recommend new things every week, that's what my audience enjoys :)
nah! all look cheapo
What would you buy instead then?
First
Second 😂
No prx. No one wants a powermatic. 80 . With plastic in this watch.
Its a disposable our work. Replaced after 5 years. Terible
Lol, the quartz ain't too bad. But yeah, not for me either
They look cheap and crap
Feel free to share your 10 suggestions here then. Don't be so quick to criticise without giving some alternatives...
