Cheap vs. Expensive Calendar Watch - The Definitive Difference | Watchfinder & Co.

- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- Some of us are happy for our watches just to tell us what the time is, but some of us are not. There are a handful of people for whom a watch must display not only the time, but the date, the day, the month and even the phase of the moon. Entry to this club will set you back a few thousand pounds, but the upper end seemingly has no limit. Question is-can you tell the difference?

I have become so desensitized to the prices of these watches when you said £50,000 I thought it was a good deal
I did to for a minute until I started to consider what organ I was going to have to sell to pay for it.
It is a good deal
@@robertsullivan4773 *organS
They are meant to be out of reach for most.
The whole watch industry thrives on price desensitization. Panerai straps sells for $300. Now that doesn’t seem bad for someone who’s spending $6k on a watch. Until you realize you can get a strapping boot for that price, which obviously need more leather, stitching and craftsmanship to make.
"In fact, why don't we just look at it?" was not expecting that from watchfinder, but chuffed to bits nonetheless.
Not even close to a seiko 5 on a NATO
@@koenreith PURECLASS. /unjerk Watchfinder needs to do more vids like this
"Pure class."
@@xSkormz He needs to do more videos about RAWLEKS! They're they only THING that will HOOOOOOLD value!
Alex You see a masterpiece and the only thing coming to your mind is the usual bland Rolex fanboy’s talking point and obsession with so called “value”?
If the Zenith is cheap, what does it make my Omega Speedmaster Triple Date then? A toy that comes with a kiddie meal?
Yes. Now the question is, what does it make my dirt cheap Invicta Pro Diver?
@@ronch550 That doesn't even have the same triple date complications...
ronch550 trash
I like the Lange watch much but it is vomit compared to someone rocking a Greubel Forsey QP A Equation.
ruclips.net/video/0tZ_BU2BQMk/видео.html
The Lange is 144p compared to the Greubel Forsey which would be 8k. :-/
Heck, you couldn't even buy a Greubel Forsey 3 hand movement for the price you pay for the Lange. You can buy 3 of those Lange perpetual calendar watches for the price of 1 Greubel Forsey Signature 1 watch.
@@alexjones4338 it looks like a $300 Diesel Chronograph watch
When you said 4000 pounds for the Zenith I thought you were showing us the expensive one first. lol.
Lmfao
same 😅
The most enjoyable video to watch by far
11/10
@Tom Smith It's sadder making fun of someone who said they enjoyed the video.
@Tom Smith what's the most enjoyable video you've ever watched?
I get goosebumps from that A. Lange & Sohne section
Still, a watch made by Adolf who made watches for Adolf is not for me. I'll stay with Patek which has Polish heritage (Patek was Polish)
@@christopherbieniarz1454 Nah fuck off
Christopher Bieniarz this is not just horrendous trolling, it is deeply offensive. Your anti-german sentiment is not appreciated. As Mr. Avalon, above, says, fuck off! Such a statement is as bad as Hitler himself, or rather worse in that you’re too stupid to learn from his mistakes.
Also, stop politicising everything. Not everything is about flags and flag waving.
And if the real reason you made that idiotic statement is to troll and to get a reaction... take a long hard look at yourself and then tell yourself what you see... (n.b. no one else is interested).
@@MrAristaeus Thank you, i wholeheartedly agree!
Geralt Avalon No matter what @Christopher Bieniarz does in his life - that stolen kiss in the apple orchard as a boy, holding his infant son in his arms for the first time, cradling his beloved in a thunder storm on a summer’s night, watching his daughter accept her applause at her first ever piano recital, seeing his children graduate from university, watching his grandchildren gather round his hospital bedside to say their goodbyes as he takes his last breaths - he’ll ALWAYS be that dickhead from RUclips who made an idiotically hateful comment on a watchfinder video.
The difference from peasants to elites: Peasants have to change the months themselves.
I have my butler change the months.
Yes! Proof that Casio digital is an elitist watch!
@@ElloEllo12314 F91W is the real deal
The earth changes the months for me
It gets annoying through the years.
The person in charge for the camera should be awarded some prize. Incredible to catch all those details as if they were as big as the whole watch. Much respect for this channel in general, the voice is so calm i coule listen to it for days.
Thanks for the hard work, we really appreciate it.
Indeed. A work of art this channel is. Much like the jaw dropping time pieces they present, and the narrator.....well let's just say SILKY SMOOTH!
The camera work and editing is stunning! well done editor
I was expecting to see a "cheap" watch after the "expensive" Zenith....seems my bank account doesnt have enough zeros...
Sure it does, just not in the right place...
People dream to buy a Rolex Daytona but I dream to buy an A. Lange & Söhne
@Browsing Channel Because it is a fine watch. Fine watches are fun. Pretty simple.
You got more $ than most people good job boiiiiii
Means you’ve got style :)
Sounds like a RAP
I also dream to buy FP Journe
I didn't realize how crisp the lettering in the Lange was (from another video) until i saw how it is in the Zenith
Super crisp
I have watched literally every Watchfinder video like 10 times, but this is one of my favorites, I love when Mr. Narrator talks about A Lange & Sohne
The El Primero is a work of art too. At the beginning of the 70ies it was the best watch there was.
That A Lange & Sohne is, just like every A Lange & Sohne is an insane piece of kit in every way, what a watch.
zenith cheap?? lol
Your ❤️ is well conveyed of the A.Lange.... great video! 👍🏻
That A. Lange is absolutely stunning. Please do more entry-level watches. Zenith is a steel at that price.
Loved that silly music to go with the beautiful video work.
I liked it too... but would still prefer something serenely beautiful like Schubert. The Lange deserves no less!
Agreed. But, this music reminds me of music emanating from speakers, (generally PC, or phone speakers) of a different genre altogether. Anyone else hearing the "Debbie is taking care of Dallas" type music? ROFL.
These are very helpful videos to have, and use as a tool while refining collections
Snack Time - David Scott
❤️ look at it, just look at it! 💔 unfortunately that’s all I can do is, look.
The background music cracked me up.
For the first time, I was so blown away that I had to pause the video. 4:00 The movement is stunning and I can look at it all day.
When your grail watch is a “cheap” one in this comparison.
If the Zenith is $3-5K, the A. Lange & Sohne feels like $6-10K to me. Better, yes. $45K better, hell no.
"In fact why don't we just look at it for a bit."
* Right you're.

Tears begin to form... good thing I'm sitting down.
Damnit Soft Spoken Hands Guy! You're making me thinking of the need of having only 1 kidney.
A healthy kidney is more beautiful than a L&S. Especially if you're on dialysis.
You'll need to sell more than one kidney...
Zenith Chronomaster wearer here albeit in preferable silver/white dual. Loved the video if both but honestly the Z is the only watch you’ll ever need only surpassed by my now sold Patek 2526. It’s in-house, first auto chronograph, accurate to tenth second, calendar jumps at midnight, no chore setting it either. Swapped the bracelet for blue Hirsch croc on deploy clasp. Search Guido Pelagos review if it you’ll buy like I did and I paid £1750 in 2015 now worth 3-5k
I think the GMT and the perpetual calendar are the most useful complication in a watch. The zenith el Primero Chrono Moon Phase is a beautiful perpetual calendar watch. The A Lange & Sohne Langematik Perpetual is a beautiful masterpiece of mechanical art. Indeed it is a bargain at $60,000 if you compare it with the price of a Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar.
Lmao no, (day)date and timing bezel destroy those
I love the excitement in the narrator`s voice when the A. Lange & Söhne takes over !
05:28 Damn, that's an amazing shot and cut. Gave me goosebumps.
When the Lange music came on I thought "What the hell is this?" but then I started to enjoy it and even found myself snapping my fingers along with the music. Great video!
5:30
Knees weak
Arms are heavy
There’s vomit on his sweater already
Mom’s spaghetti
That lange is simply perfection
Fabulous Video ...”biscuit finger in warm caramel”...RUclips has relaxed its rules on Porn which is surely what this video is!
The porn comparison made complicated by the porn music in the last part. Oh how lovely.
They even Incorporated the typical porn music to top off the ensemble! Lol
@Benjamin Kangert ALS watches are defintely schön, but the S is for "Söhne"… 😁
I love this channel. It allows me to enjoy pieces of art and history that I will never be able to afford or, most likely, ever see in person.
Gosh I have fallen in love with Zenith
And A.L&S .Watching these watches gives me a diff pleasure not everyone can understand
These are not just watches they are a pleasures of life
Life is made up of small moments after all
Idk about the A. Lange und Söhne, but the video brought a tear to my eye.
The macro shots and the voice overs set this channel apart from others, by far the best watch channel on RUclips.
Cheap? Zenith isn't even affordable. I appreciate the content but this claim is ridiculous. At the very beginning I was wondering what the third, cheap watch would be...
When I saw Zenith, I thought this time he starts with the expensive one.
I really like the close-up/macro photography. Really well done. The small hand gestures accompanying the narrative are effective too.
I cant explain how much I love this channel, this is like dream for watch enthusiast
That b-roll segment was a very cheeky surprise. Loved it
The; June, July, August feature IS VERY well done.
Those timed cuts around the date changing at 6:12 were just sublime 😀
Comparing Lange to warm caramel is the best thing ever!!! I salivated like crazy
One of my favourite videos up to date! The favouritism towards the ALS is fun to watch because it's fueled by passion pure passion. Love it! 10/10
That Lange movement is truly something to behold...
“4,000 dollar are entry level”
Me: I think I’ll stick with my Dora the Explorer watch
its 4000 pounds which is 5300 dollars but since you own dora watches more power to you
OH.MY.GOD What a beautiful timepiece that AL&S is!!
That A. Lange & Söhne might be my new grail
Yeah, 2 awesome watches but the A. Lange & Sohne is a museum master piece. I dont think there is anything out there to rival it. If there is please educate us.
A piece of Art. Well said. A Lange & Sohne is Picasso of the watch world indeed.
How is it a Picasso? Does it coveys an opinion about the world we live in?
林都 Please don’t act so snobby.
@@FacitOmniaVoluntas. don't be ignorant.
I'd say the Picasso of watchmaking is FP Journe.
@@lnidux I'm not ignorant, I most certainly know more about art than you, I just don't feel the need to act like a snobby smartass
That interlude to just look at it was so masterfully done. What a watch.
Saying Zenith is cheap make me feel like my life is trash
I hope that you make another watch montage again in the future, it’s so unexpected coming from this channel and it was very enjoyable
While I'll never be able to afford the Lange (and quite possibly the Zenith either), the video was brilliant, as always. This channel is, frankly, one of the best I've encountered on RUclips, ever.
The Langematik Perpetual certainly deserves a pause for gazing and admiration (especially the caseback), as do other Langes like the 1815 Chronograph, Datograph, Double/Triple Split, etc. Fantastic touch - please consider doing this for other well-finished watches as well.
For those wondering about the music, it's Snack Time by David Scott. Thanks, Shazam.
PS: If I may say so, this is a welcome break from the regular dive watch content (which, while excellent, is getting repetitive).
A. Lange and Sohne is a superb piece of horology
That Zenith is still so nice to look at
Simply the BEST watches channel on the planet!!!
What a great video. Fantastic. Quality of video material, choice of music, editing ....fantastic. Great Job! Maybe the best Watchfinder & Co. video so far!
I've been aiming to zenith for almost a year, now everything changed after this video, so my next 10 year plan is buying the A.lange, so wish me luck.
The zenith is a beauty in itself
Dude you write your content so well! Truly well done.
I honestly thought this video was going to point out the differences between a luxury brand watch and something you would find in a department store. The 4000 pound price tag is by no means a cheap watch.
Can i tell the difference? Well obviously by seeing the price is simply enough for me to judge
Wonderful voice over and imagery as always but a £4,000 watch is not a cheap watch. If having a watch with phases of the moon displayed is your essential criteria, then there very nicely made affordable time pieces from Seiko and Citizen.
That glam shot montage was completely unexpected but I absolutely loved it!
The El Primero is a masterpiece of balance and proportions.
Amazing video! Your editing is flawless. You have outdone yourself! Keep it up!
They're both stunning to me.
I'm in love😍😍😍...that A. lange & Sohne is a thing of perfection!
I always watch your videos when I wake up in the morning. It's so calming .... thank you. :)
Zenith el primero is a chronograph primarily you can't compare it to a perpetual calendar watch.
I Absolutely love the fact that you just said, "Why dont we just look at it". Perfect commentary!!
I regret destroying my grandpa's old old watches, they were the first automatic wrist watch I have ever seen. I was young and didn't realise the value of those watches. Damn it!
I watched the A. Lange's special part while high. It's like a dream come true. 😂
"A piece of art that you can wear it on your wrist"
Enough said
When the highly polished moon reveals the rough, untreated underside of the second hand ... (06:10)
Not heard you gush like that before
And music too, your really spoiling us
It's good to have a dream owning that A.Lange Sohne piece of art ❤️
Quite frankly the best channel on RUclips. Exceptional work as always.
Amazing! Can you please do a Longines Master Collection L2.673.4.78.3 review?
Love at first sight for the A. Lange & Söhne here...Another one to add to the if only I could win the lottery list of gorgeous watches..
Exceptional new element in your storytelling.
I just loved it.
Great composition of music and visual impressions.
Please provide more of it!
Great job, thanks 🥳
can you guys make a comparison between the ap royal oak and cheap alternatives like a maurice lacroix?
After all that, I sincerely hope our dear narrator will be so kind to treat us all to a wrist view of his new A. Lange & Sohne when he finally gets it!
Zenith El primero is on my list of must-have watches along with Omega seamaster and Rolex oyster perpetual 39 in rhodium
You folks have gotten really good at this stuff.
One of the greatest watch videos of all time, hands down....
"In fact, why don't we just look at it"... Made me laugh out loud
This was awesome!
Day and date is just handy because we all forget what day it is from time to time. The chronograph is easier to live without, but nice to have. Everything else is almost fluff.
But it's actually difficult to find a watch with only what you want and nothing else.
Before 5:10 I thought that the more expensive watch was not worth it at all. But your words and the way you convinced me to view the identical watch made me want it.
Focusing works: "look at it, look at it" - said gently
Relatable thought: "clear like wearing new glasses [which you cannot stand]"
Emotionally appealing:"brings a tear to the eye"
You sir are an experienced sales person.
There is night and day difference. Once you see a Sohne, everything else is imperfect.
Fantastic as always! And what a fun interlude!
Please make a video on the Glashutte Original Panomatic Lunar; it has almost Lange-rivalling looks and movement for a fraction of the price and I'd love to see your beautiful cinematography focussed on it!
I agree
The finish of the case, dial, hands and movement on a GO is far below a Lange
I've never had the fortune of handling either, but the movement on the GO PL (which is hand finished) looks outstanding. Perhaps not Lange quality, but certainly looks beautiful on video
Plus, it doesn't have an ugly divider between the date digits 😊
Ahahah totally agree on this divider :)
your light setting is insane😍
Is there an imperfection on the hand of the lange at 6:19? Great video as always.
Looks like a small chip on the hand. Good catch
Lol
Actually on the index below 30, gaps in the print 😅
Days and month pass and we keep looking at the Lange.
Very cool editing!! Loved the sense of humor in this one haha
