Here on Andrew Morgan Watches I want to bring you all the best on watches from my personal perspective. There's watch reviews, expert reactions, top 10 lists, the best and worst of the industry and a whole bunch of memes, too. So if you like Swiss watches, German watches, Japanese watches-whatever-you'll be sure to enjoy my channel!
Thank you Andrew for being you. I just won £30 with this video, as my poor uneducated friend bet me I could not name two watches on this list. I took that bet quicker than a Rolex dealer laughing at me as I walk into a store hoping to buy a watch. The words twelve and bel canto left my lips so fast I was hardly aware it happened. To show this victory off I have ordered a Casio Royale so I can remind him of his defeat each time I wear it. ❤️
It’s true, I’m predictable 😅
@@AndrewMorganWatches or you have great taste and both are stunning watches and insane at their price point 🤷🏼♂️
Happy purchasing your Casio Royale. I have one too but I'm utterly disappointed that Andrew forget to mention the Casio Pacman. Ooooh yeah, that's such a nice watch... shame it doesn't play Pacman. Anyone remember those Casio game watches from the 80s? That was the watch industry at its peak.
@@AndrewMorganWatchesYou talked me in to buying a Rolex Oyster Perpetual.
I plan on wearing it to my high school reunion 😅
The writing for these videos is top notch!
The mix of sarcasm, humor, and knowledge that are dropped is an amazing combination!
You are the best -- from the substance to the vocabulary to the subtle and not-so-subtle humor and plays on words! Thank you for making learning fun.
Thank you!
@@AndrewMorganWatcheshe’s not the Lord Byron in lifestyle, but in watch reviewing? He’s writing his Cantos in.
You skipped $200-$300. That is the entry point for many into the world of automatics. So no Bambino Seiko 5 or Kamasu on the list then?
I agree, I was really hoping to see his favorite in the $300 range as a lot of us operate in that space. Enough that you have to save a little and think a little more, but not enough to make you feel remorse after slapping down your debit card. FWIW I just received my Erebus Origin, and for $300, all I can say is DANG!
Yea, huge miss not mentioning Seiko 5.
Totally agree, 200-300 is the starting budget for many beginners! Agree w the kamusu, bambino & seiko 5s!
kamasu > turtle
Also the 1,500$-2,000 ish area. I think that’s something we could get if we really wanted it. Save up a long time and snag it at last like a bass boat or an engagement ring. Something to do as a milestone
My wife and I had our 20th anniversary in the middle of Covid. Having our holiday cancelled we took the $$$ and bought a pair of Oyster Perpetuals (Blue for me, Salmon for her) for each other. Looking back I think we made a much better investment than that week long cruise. For our next anniversary now I need to find some ham flavored milk to give her.
Ham flavoured milk will only make a wise decision ever wiser
My wife and I got matching OPs (41mm and 32mm both silver dial with gold hands)
They are amazing and by far our favorite out of the collection. I initially thought it would be third tier in my collection, but I constantly have to remind myself to take out my other watches on occasion.
@@chrisx1138 This is the most cringe self-congratulatory online preen I've read for a while. "I initially thought it would be third tier" made me feel so sorry for you and your need to pretend you are incredibly wealthy
Thanks!
Thank you so much ☺️
Thanks
Thank you very much ☺️
It’s got everything you need to stay safe watching documentaries about diving on telly 😂 respect
3:14 your “first” analogy actually made me laugh.
The effort you put on photography, script, story telling, vocabulary, voice modulation, anecdotes and idioms is commendable.
Keep up the excellence mate.
Thank you for bringing such great insight into this mastercraft.
10,000 would most certainly have to go to the Glashutte Original PanoMatic Lunar.. for me!
My favorite watch as well. I'll never have one, but dreams are good for the soul.....
That quartz GS is great looking.
But doesn't look starburst?
Or sunburst even....
Also exists in 37mm with a slightly different blue (more purple): sbgx265 (or sbgx065 with seiko brand)
@@garyquartley1084 It has an inky deep blue sunburst that doesn’t look like the brighter and more silvery sunburst I see on many other dials. The “burst” itself is still a pure blue color, and depending on lighting the dial can look glassy or silky with a cloudy glow to it instead of the grainier texture and less saturated burst color a lot of sunburst dials have. It’s understated but also one of the reasons I like it since I thought a lot of blue sunburst dials look too cold or flashy to me.
Well, I guess I am not the only one to have an anesthesiologist rocking a Rolex. I was getting ready to be put under for an implant and looked over and quipped "A Milgauss the sleeper Rolex." To my amazement, this prompted an almost ten-minute discussion about how he came to have that specific watch and what if any watches I had. This really put my mind at ease as I went lights out for the next five hours. One day, I'd love to add one to my collection.
$50 should be the Casio Duro.
Anyone agree?
I'd pick the Casio world time
Yes
@@GabeFelix-uy2dtMDV-106 is far better than the World Time (not in versatile nor complications) but value-money there's no better than the Casio Duro, that's tough
The most soothing voice on RUclips! Eloquent and colourful use of the English language with a classy British accent, not to mention knows a heck of a lot about watches. ❤your review. 🍉 🍉 🍉
Thanks Andrew.
Yes, there's nothing like an 'expert'!
Legitimately surprised A Lange & Sohne didn't appear here!
Exactly for someone who goes on and on about dial quality, and then didn’t even mention A Lange…fail
He’s still detoxifying from years at watchfinder
True
Favourite doesn't mean better.
"My favorite color is grey, my favorite flavor is plain" got me rolling 😂😂😂
I love that H. Moser & Cie Streamliner and have wanted one ever since it was first announced. Moser basically took my dream watch (their Streamliner) and then read my mind on how they could make it even better (make it a bit smaller/thinner, include a micro-rotor, and give it a beautiful fumé Grand Feu enamel dial).
Now if only I had ~$34k to spend on it...
That Seiko’s been turtling in my mind for a while
😂
Get it. I got one and love it.
You have great writing and storytelling style. Thanks for sharing your talents.
I love my expensive watches (Rolex, AP etc). But for most things, my titanium eco drive citizen is my go to. Light, accurate and very neutral in looks. It is the watch I wear at night in a bad area. If I get mugged, I will just hand it over.
I feel the same that’s why I gravitate towards wearing my Tudor most of the time.
@@jakealexander6046 I would still probably stand and fight for a Tudor. I can be dumb and stubborn and that's still a valuable watch.
@@happydogg312 Sadly I am not rich, I just love watches. My car is a 13 year old economy hatchback.
Sadly, the eco drive still has a battery.
You could also use the Eco drive as a blunt weapon, love my Pro Master enough to fight for that one.
Just picked up my favourite ever watch at any price....a 2020 Speedmaster 1861, hesalite... along with the G shock, this is all the watch I ever wanted (not an exaggeration, I'm 5 years and about 20 watches in... bought and sold most of those until I realised that the Speedy is just the one....personal opinion but on a leather deployant strap... find me something that has as much charm, the same beauty, history and timelessness.... not much else gets me like this one)
@@Bu-22 for sure. I'm loving the Speedy more and more every day
14:35 if that’s not the truth, I don’t know what is.
Although since buying my Speedmaster my itch for buying another watch has gone away.
For the time being, anyway
I love how your true sense of humour pops up now in your videos since you are now master of your domain.
Somewhat shockingly I WAS actually on the list for the very Two Tone Daytona you showed here. It's a really gorgeous watch and competes with my Vacheron Constantin Overseas 4520 silver dial for most worn in my collection.
Andrew and his bel canto…he chimes in about it every hour on the hour
Rather Interesting indeed! One of my favourites would have to be a Reverso on which the second face is a clear case back display of the movement or that lovely skeletonised chronograph - or something like that!
I agree ❤
Wow, from 100 tot 500, must be real difficult to find a nice, steel, automatic watch at that price point? O no, just had a look in my watchbox.
I appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos. Truly laughing out loud. Entertainment at its best!
"I'm not trying to be a hipster. I just don't have the lenseless glasses for it." Lmao. AM in rare form all throughout this video
FP Journe would have been a nice addition to this video.
“Ham-flavored milk” had me choke a bit on my water at the office. Never thought of that before 😂
The tone of your voice and the witticism of your flow, plus the unbelievable close-ups of the vid, are always a delightful combo. Next video please!
Thank you!
@@AndrewMorganWatchesBetter than sex. Right, Andrew? We see what you’re doing under the covers.
I am so glad I came across your channel! So entertaining and informative! I just wish I came across it before I bought the orient small seconds v2 for my father’s birthday to expanded my options 😭
Daytona? Really? Personally, the JLC Master Chronograph Calendar.
PS: totally agree for the Moser.
Agree, it's the JLC Master Calendar. Full Stop!
JLC for me is a missed opportunity. Everything is mirror polished. Looks cheap tbh.
I would also include Farer in the 1000 Euros category
I like that you jumped straight over $200/$300 because 1000 other videos on RUclips will tell you to get a seiko5 or a prx. Thanks.
Dreams can be so serious, can't they. Thank you for your touch of inimitable humour.
I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this video. Oh, wait, yes I can. I enjoyed it an awful lot.
"... all things calculator and piano..." I always used to use a Casio calculator with deg/min/sec functions to add up hours/min/sec for seeing if mixtape playlists would fit on one side of a C90, and my daughter's piano is a Casio. Also, I'm wearing an A168 at the moment. 😀 Shoot, you could've gone for the Casio hat trick and picked the MTP4500D-1AV for the $100 level (it's enough under that you could throw in the MQblahblah and still beat the century mark. It's the least expensive slide-rule-bezel analog chrono you'll ever lay your hands on and you'll love it 'til you can scrounge the scratch for a Navitimer. 😀
You're ticking all the boxes this time around, at least at $500. My wife is named Susan and she'd definitely lack approval for my dropping half a grand on a wristwatch.
“Watching documentaries about diving on the Tele” 😮😅😂 Likely the only diving the turtle or Submariner ever do these’s days.
You’re the best. Love these selections and I’d likely have a JLC, an A Lange or FPJourne in there too. CW is my favorite brand at the moment. Waiting on my bel canto. I got the white lume dial PRX for $250 new and I couldn’t be happier.
The best copy on any watch chat channel. Cracking deadpan delivery of good jokes and replete with information and option.
Except the unobtainium Daytona, at 20K I would just replace it with far more superior Glasshutte Original Perpetual Calendar with Leap year ! Today is just that!
Everyone drops their personal favs, and you know what? So will I:
I suggest the "Citizen Eco-Drive" watches. There's a couple that are within the $200-300 range which offer not only a decent time accuracy of +/- 15 seconds per MONTH....but also the Eco-Drive uses sunlight and fluorescent light indoors to constantly charge it. On a full charge, the Citizen Eco-Drive watches can stay active for 6 months. Plus, the lithium internal battery and/or capacitor can last anywhere between 10-20 years before needing to be changed. Really great, and at that price point, I don't mind using it for every day use.
The extremely expensive watches are really works of art. For an everyday nice looking reliable watch, Rolex has to be the one. I’ve worn my GMT Master almost all the time for the last 12 yrs, and still get a thrill whenever I look at it.
I love the Oyster Perpetual...🤷♂️. Amazing video!
It’s kinda perfect for what it does
@@davkirk8741 Indeed!
The problem with the Bel Canto and MB&F (besides being homely) is that the actual dials are too small to read at a glance. One of my main criteria's for a watch is that it's relatively easy for me to tell the time.
The commentary is better than ever. Brilliant move to go solo. Perfect timing.
My personal fave for $500 (£345 ) is the Seiko Prospex PADI Solar SNE 549 P1. Duper watch for the money, and no need for winding, a rocker or batteries. Its been my go to watch now for 3 years, and leads a hard life.
I have owned a real Rolex White Face Daytona, but i was scared to wear it, so sold it last year for a £6k profit.....
Love your humorous quips. Thanks for the laughs!
I have one of those million dollar watches! No wait hold on. I just checked. It's the $10 Casio.
That white dial, two tone Daytona is fire. I'm supposedly on the list for it.
Keep up the good work, Andrew, I really enjoyed your witticism and choice!
You get a subscribe for the simple fact that you MUST be supported. I don’t get care if you lost your voice and went into a permanent vegetative state. The watch community owes you that.
The inexpensive selections were quite interesting. I’m going to construct my own list.
Any list is good enough for me if it has a Nomos. I could even overlook the Rolexes. As usual, great content!
i loved it. great script, amazing value.
🤣😂 That #turtle analogy had me literally laughing out loud
Turtle touch cotton :P
This was fun. In the under $100 I would have a Casio Duro in there somewhere but other than that, all seem great. Live the Bel Canto and that GS!
At my work we have wall clocks everywhere, but no date, so a date is essential for my daily watch. But weekend’s and vacations, I love to not know the date 🙌🤷♂️
Love the turtle. Wish I get permission from my family!
I have the first two watches on the list and wear them regularly. They're both nice, simple, basic designs and, as they say, does the job.
Love the Streamliner!
Great video as always. I hope you make a video where you compile a list about entirely obscure watches that most enthusiasts have no idea they exist, A video without the usual brands for a change. Would love to hear your take on it. keep up the good work.
I’ll make em if you watch em!
Love the Omega Moonwatch ❤
I love your humor Andrew!
I would LOVE to have a Belle Canto.
I’m watching and I don’t even collect watches. Half the time I don’t wear one. I did buy a second hand inox once. Every now and then I remember to wear it. Everyone I know who own fancy watches have boxed them up and are wearing them Apple Watches so they can message their mums and dads by talking into their phone like a a space man. Anyway, love the vids. Cheers bubba.
I haven't heard of the Chritopher Ward The Twelve before and I may have been better off before because WOW, that's a beautiful watch. And I thought I'd just get the Tsuyosa or the PRX as my "integrated bracelet" watch
Love my Tiffany Blue Casio, but for $50 the Duro is superior in quality with a Stainless Steel case, and the same Miyota 2115 Quartz movement.
I don't dive any more so why on Earth would I want a Duro? They're too big for every day wear and not exactly a fashion statement.
Agree with Nomos and Omega speedmaster….no comment for the other choices
This guy has the best voice ever.
All very fine watches Andrew Morgan !!!
After trying on the Daytona it was rather small on my wrist so I was lucky enough to walk into an authorized dealer and purchase the original Rolex GMT blnr 116710 and no tax -
5:24 - its got everything you need to stay safe watching documentaries about diving on telly hahahahhahahaha. Satire at its best.
I am so glad the Bel Canto is on this list. I am getting the black (Nero) one scheduled for delivery next month, but I am thinking if I should go for Omega seamaster 300 instead
Smiling from ear to ear. Your writing is epic, Andrew.
Wow! A fabulous grouping Andrew. Well done mate.
Thanks very much!
6:02 says everything about the watch industry... :D
Such a fantastic video even if I didn't agree with all the choices. I would've just added the Casio Royale at the $25 level.
I don't know anything about watches, and only vaguely aware of Rolex...but when i was at the airport I saw the Oyster Perpetual for the first time while rushing to my next terminal. It was sitting alone in a display case at a dark corner of the building but i had to stop my stroll just to take a look at how beautiful it was, it had a deep blue face with the most beautiful dial. I had to buy one, even if i never owned a watch before. For a novice like myself, there was just something majestic about this watch! It's like the first time i ever smelled shalimar (the perfume) against my skin, it teleported me to another world.
Buying a watch at an airport qualifies you for being prohibited from looking at this channel
That shot at Alabama was 🌶️🌶️
Ok. Interesting selection. Some are not bad. Some are good. Some not so good. Some great. Some just crap. But that's what you love so respect to you.
Relieve your wife a bit .......................I spat my tea out 🤣😂🤣😆😅🤣
Really enjoy your style, keep up the vlogs
I expected Moser to make your list at the $20k mark, the Daytona was definitely a surprise. I do very much love everything you've chosen from $30k and up. I might have figured out a way to squeeze a Voutilainen decimal repeater in there, though.
To be far, that Moser Streamliner is closer to $20k than it is to $50k (since it's ~$34k).
Thanks for the feature!
Vianney Halter deep space tourbillon is my favourite watch. Its an engineering stunner.
that turtle bit lmaoooo
Actually, I approve 😂 we are humbled and blessed to be in the presence of these watches. ❤🎉
Truly!
Some beautiful watches! Christopher Ward could be my next watch, would love Rolex but not sure that will ever happen unfortunately.
OMG, this was hillarious! I can barely get to the level of 1000 USD, but last 2 ones are beyond reality! Thanks for such a entertaining video!
Great concept video
Comon guys, get Andrew to 1 million subs!
don’t say ‘butt’, say ‘arse’ like a proud Englishman
Do those still exist?
@@Chrissepisjeabsolutely, Trump However has destroyed any concept of proud Americans
Agreed that speedmaster is best wetch ever made. But at 7 grand oyster perpetual hmmm....i dont know about that. Maybe top twn at 7 grand yea
Loved the Video and the presentation! It really seems like the watches are your personal pick and not "good suggestions at the price"
Great video mate!!
Fantastic!
Are you and Roger Bennett (Men in Blazers) brothers reared apart?
Some absolutely amazing watches in this video (showing my age there.) I watched it in the hope I might get an answer to the question.- I love the Blancpain 50 Fathoms but in South Africa that’s the price of half my house so what do I get for $300 to 500 that looks close enough to the original that the burglars are seriously miffed when thei fence tells them they were conned?
