My father also gave me an Air King from 1968. I'm so privileged. It's a 5500 and I absolutely love it. I've been wearing it daily since 1989. Got it serviced about a year or two ago for about $1000 and it came back purring. It's so simple and classy and more importantly under the radar. I'm blessed to have it.
Great collection. Many thanks. I’m the opposite - not a fan of dates on watches unless it’s a gmt or the Datejust. Each to his own. I’d keep the blacked out Tudor - looks really cool !
Fun video. I have a Tudor BB58 blue and I love it. It’s on the my never sell heirloom list to be inherited by my son. I too wish it had a date, but not a big deal.
@@fleshcrunch7988 So glad I bought a Tudor BB58 after ignoring all the internet, watch guy noise about it. I only wish I had bought it 30 years ago if it was available. Of course I could only afford Casio's at the time.
Was in Zurich in December. Held on buying a new Tudor until I got to Frankfurt. Switzerland only has a 7% VAT refund compared to Germany which is a 17% refund.
@@KMV007 I have found everything costs more in Switzerland compared to the U.S. or other EU country. Even when you factor in the 7% VAT refund, you still are paying a lot more than buying here in the U.S. or another EU country. I got a new Tudor BB Panda Chrono in Frankfurt from the Tudor boutique at full retail. After the 17% VAT refund, I paid just under what Jomashop had it listed for. Boutique gives you 5 year warranty. No questions asked. Unlike Jomashop...
I don't understand the world of buying many watches and then selling them. I know there is that culture, but just like sports gambling, I just don't engage. Nothing negative, just my thoughts.
@@teleguy5699 You just get bored of some watches and sell them to buy a different one you just "have to have" next. It's a disease, really. I still use my Casio most of the time.
Think my favorite might be the Glycine Combat Sub. Looks great on that Bond strap. They actually did sell for over $1k pre Invicta, but now they only sell gray market and thus the lower price. Amazing value and the thinest Swiss diver out there at 10.6mm.
I’m the opposite with regards to the date. I like a dial without it, keeps the symmetry and easier and quicker to change the time. I just look at my phone if I need to know the date. Who doesn’t have a phone on them nowadays and who doesn’t go everywhere without their phone. Just my opinion.
@@cheapwatchman_official you're welcome brother, my cheap watch collection is out of control but it's my only vice and brings me pleasure, if you happen to have an Invicta Grand Diver 4186 (orange dial) that you won't rid of look me up, they're no longer available in Europe, in the meantime, I'll keep following the channel, we seem to have similar a similar understanding of what makes a watch desirable!
I agree, almost entirely about the patina. I want to build my own patina. That’s why years ago, when looking at the tutor line, I went straight for the 42 mm Pelagos in blue. I wish the manufacturers wouldn’t focus so much on things that don’t age.and let me build a visible relationship with my timepieces
Great video! Really enjoyed it. I'm obsessed with buying different type watches. Chrono, Monaco Gulf (retirement gift), Shinola Runwell (no date) great dress watch. I lean toward TAG's. I did buy the "Batman" Islander and put a rubber strap as my daily.
I have 2 Orient Mako 3's. Burnt orange dial and the grey dial. I love them, and like you, can't put my finger on exactly why. I just love the dial, I guess.
Purists like me, adore 🥰 iconic no-date watches, like the Sub and the Speedmaster. The dial looks 👀much cleaner. May that’s why I love my Tudor FXD/MN21 too.
not for me. it's a shame that there aren't more no date options out there. i've written to chrono24 et al many times over the years, asking them to add a "no date" search toggle. but they refuse. lol.
Since you're a Vet, do you ever shop the NEX or AAFES on-line? Sometimes they have some great sales and tax free. I just bought a Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic as my first real watch from NEX. Enjoy both of your channels. Keep up the good work!!
I know someone who had an issue with the ceramic movement, it died, and they had to deal with the warranty crud. Love tudor but if you're not wearing them and aren't attached to them move them, you won't miss them later
I had a day/date on my Tissot that I wore to work and it really came in handy. I typically dont like either, but it was very functional at work. Dive watches dont need the day or date in my opinion.
I want the turdor ceramic to go with my pelagos LHD , i only have three mechanical watches and i find setting the dates so annoying so im happy if they dont have a date . Typically I'm not a fan of fake patina but i like just off white markers on black watches .
I had a Black Bay 58 Blue - I thought I grew bored of it, traded it in on a Speedmaster 3861 and after about a few months I regretted the whole decision. I ended up selling the Speedmaster so now I have some more decisions to make. I’d keep one Tudor, definitely miss it now that it’s gone. I knew I wasn’t a chronograph guy but the Speedy was the only one I’d thought I’d like since I’d wanted one for years but it was a case of not meeting your heroes.
I got the Mako 2 in blue because of your review and I also love it. Thank you also for my Glycine as well. I do love it too. I am looking at a Seestern Capt. Willard homage too. Thank you for your kind words. They mean a great deal to me. Much appreciated. I shall keep my eyes open for your sales, but if you don't like them, I probably won't either.
Love the Air King even more special coming from your Father! The Black Tudor is nice, that's a tough one. It's quite nice and unique may be a collector's item one day down the road so may be worth holding onto. You definitely have a beautiful collection with good taste IMHO. All the best!
I'm a date man too and I haven't bought a Tudor yet because of the date window. I hope they make the Black Bay Steel in the BB58 dimensions. I'm currently wearing the Thorn BB58 version of the Black Bay Steel and I absolutely love it.
I have a box of tudors but they are starting to go stale. The bb58 seems perfectly sized, but the same old colors need an update. The Pelagos 39 could use some colors too. So, I’m with you. Tudors can act like “inventory” because they can easily be replaced… but have enough value to sell 3 and buy a bigger watch. 😊
Totally agree with you, i have to stop buying watch without date. It’s allways the same. I hate when i wear them and specially that day I look at my wrist and there s no date on it …
I completely understand the date function is very important to me, too 😅 I sold my beloved BB58 navy blue just because it does not have a date window. I just wish Tudor would make a date window for it!
Own BB58 black dial with gild…Gave me Rolex 6538 vibe worn by Sean Connery in Dr No…it’s a diver no need for a date when you dive, you don’t care about the date under water, plus you carry your phone with you all the time. To me it mess up with the symmetry of the watch…hate those cyclops…Again it mess up the smoothness of the crystal. Personel taste.
I'm with you about the date. It's a must for me. Also, you like a multicolored bezel, so you need to find you a Seiko Pepsi - classic look. The best new model in my opinion is the SNE591. It's quartz but has a sapphire crystal, date, and has great bezel action.
I get it with the Tudors. I have had three Tudors that I've since sold for one reason or another. My ultimate complaint was the thickness of the black bays and Pelagos. However, I picked up the Tudor FXD Marine Nationale and it is my favorite watch in my collection (I used to require dates on all my watches, but since most dates are very difficult to read and impossible to read without taking off my glasses, It has become less important of a factor, than fit, feel, dial legibility, and personal connection). (BTW also a fellow Submariner (Boomer (90-97))
Im interested in the Tudor that you showed at the start of this video, the one that you dont like because it has no date function and is vintage inspired. How much do you want for it ? Im trying to add my first Tudor to my collection. By the way I really like your channel I am a subscriber. Paul
Great vid! Thank you for sharing your collection and experiences. I too sold my tudor bb pro after 2 months, in my opinion tudor is boring, and its quality just isnt as good as Omega or Rolex.
Interesting take on dates on watches. I love watches with a day or day date. I own two watches without a date, and they sadly dont get to be worn much.
Only really been in to watches for the last year. One thing Ive settled on is that I like watches with a date and really dislike watches without a date…
Well there’s a good bit of truth there….already between Casio (really good ones) and automatic, mechanical, chronos, field , GMT and dive I’m at 60. Mostly $375 or less as I see what I like but do have 4 fairly for me “expensive” watches. I have started giving the less expensive ones as gifts as I settle on my preferences😊
I'm with you on the date. I always wanted a no date Sub, but had "settled" for a Black Bay Heritage (smiley face), then got divorced and had the opportunity to get a Starbucks sub (IE ceramic, green bezel, black dial, a 126610lv), so I got that and actually mainly found myself choosing it over every other watch I possessed all the time for the glidelock and the date. Now prices have crashed a bit and luckily I shed a lot of my (unworn) collection before they did so I treated myself to that no date Sub, and I love the look but if I look at it one more time to check the date! 😡
I Think the BB54 is the true hommage Vintage Submariner with History, the other Black Bays are nothing half and nothing whole! The Airking i like the most, i owned the same model in white!
Wear that air king with pride. I have a birth year (1978) OP 34 that is going to my daughter and a 78 Datejust going to my son. Yoda was right, size matters not; your father loved you enough to wear it knowing it was to be passed on. Anyone mocking you over watch size is proving why they should not be listened to. Wear that watch in good health and remember him fondly.
I love Tudor, bought 7 of them but I ended up selling 4 and would sell the Royal 41 if I could get decent money for it. Nothing wrong with the watches but as you move up into higher horology they just don’t get the wrist time
your best three watches, imv, are your AirKing, your DeepSea and your Tudor Ceramic. i wouldn’t let the latter go. much cooler then the GMT.. I’d acquire a ‘proper’ GMT when you can 🤓
I like a lot of watches... but I only buy watches that I'll feel comfortable wearing. Most are titanium & quartz based for lightweight & accuracy.

I’ve had Tudors in and out of my collection. They are nice watches but they don’t always hit that “I have to keep it” vibe. I got the new BB Burgandy on jubilee and I loved it for a month and said nahhh not keeping it. That one didn’t have a date. Then I had the reverse lands chrono and the same thing happened! Liked it but didn’t love it. Sold it. Problem is that if you buy them at retail you’ll lose your shirt selling them. I think that’s what sours me the most. They don’t really hold value. Unlike Rolex. Which I have 4 of. Probably why I don’t care for Tudor as much
I prefer watches on the smaller side and definitely I prefer no date. 34mm wide watches are awesome. I do not agree with your taste in watches at all. I do agree with your fathers taste 100%!! That AirKing is the best watch in your collection by far.
WTH! The Cheap Audio Man has a watch related channel?!! 😄 I've seen you wearing different kind of watches but didn't know about this channel. BTW where is your Breitling? ⌚

It’s totally opposite for me - date, and especially day window just ruins it for me. Keep up the great work !
Im fine with a date but only at the 6.
The date can only work if you do not need reading glasses, or wear glasses. But it clearly RUINS symmetry.
Symmetry FTW!

I have the Okos Steve McQueen. I don't wear it much, but a quality watch.

Looks like a Rothwell
Keep the black Tudor because it’s ceramic and my understanding is that they won’t make many of them and probably not in the future.

Tbh you’ve chosen very thick, chunky tudors. The bb58 is a keeper, it’s a more refined watch
Chunky tudors are right tudors. Everything else are for females

Liked it but didn’t love it. Sold it. Problem is that if you buy them at retail you’ll lose your shirt selling them. I think that’s what sours me the most. They don’t really hold value. Unlike Rolex. Which I have 4 of. Probably why I don’t care for Tudor as much
I prefer watches on the smaller side and definitely I prefer no date. 34mm wide watches are awesome. I do not agree with your taste in watches at all. I do agree with your fathers taste 100%!! That AirKing is the best watch in your collection by far.
WTH! The Cheap Audio Man has a watch related channel?!! 😄 I've seen you wearing different kind of watches but didn't know about this channel. BTW where is your Breitling? ⌚
I like your dads rolex memory piece.
Cheap watch man ? The irony lol love it.
The guy shows us his watch collection which is worth thousands, and then has the cheek to ask for money at the end.
Great watch collection fair play 😊
Don’t let go the ceramic BB58,
You gonna miss it when it’s discontinued.
I like that Airking, a real sleeper watch, in the 70's every Rolex dealer had them, they weren't desirable then.
why doesn't you ebay store have your face/logo there?
