    Yes, Breitling is better than Tudor, and its so NOT close that it is not even funny comparing them. One is a generic rolexoid brand, the other has its own history and design language dating decades in the past, not to mention legendary models like the Navitimer. And I am saying this as someone who LOVES the FXD and the BlackBay GMT.

    Having owned six Breitlings and two Tudors…i would definitely say yes…by Breitling has always felt more solid and everyone one of my Breitling was trouble free and ran spot on. Both Tudors had to go back for servicing, less than one year of ownership. On the plus side for Tudor…the ADs were awesome and servicing was less than three months each.

    Breitling >> Tudor. I get the value and everyman appeal of Tudor, but they’re just… boring. I rage quit them after trying (and failing at significant 💰 loss) to find one that sticks. They have all the right specs and are a great choice on paper, but I have Black Bay fatigue so after awhile they do nothing for me.
    💡 Video idea: I’d love to see a “hidden gems” episode. I’m very interested in off-the-beaten path choices that are not so mainstream. Or, a “hidden turkeys” episode that highlight things you personally dislike despite all evidence to the contrary.

    Guy, good video. I can't afford expensive watches anymore as we are looking to move which is super expensive. The main question is Breitling better than Tudor, I would say the quality for both is difficult to tell to be honest. I believe you can get much better deals on Breitling watches second-hand or even grey market than Tudor. I like Breitling's larger selection better. I never owned any myself but I used to have a friend who was a watch collector from mid tear to around the 10K range. So I got to feel how they wear. I have seen Breitling watches at Sam's Club at a big discount. This was over 2 years ago. So I don't know about it now. I do like the female robot voice more than the silly one you were using if that helps you any. It is really good to see you making more content again. I wish you all the best.

    The Sinn 556 actually has AR coating on both sides of the crystal, top and bottom. On the plus side, sometimes you can’t even tell there’s a crystal there. Downside, AR coating on top can make the crystal look smudged, particularly in bright sunlight. I have a 556, so I’m a little biased, but I think it’s a better value than the Longines.

      Sure it's 1000$ bucks cheaper and it's super nice quality - definitely a better value. I think it's just a little plain Jane and boring I like the higher level of finishing and the dial appointments and the dressed up bracelet on the Longines a lot.

    Great video. Yeah, in terms of total quality control and feel on wrist, Breitling is a good bit more Luxurious in my view than Tudor, having owned my share of both. The no. 1 reason is the polishing. Breitling is just polished to a higher level finish, and more thoughtfully layers high polish across their watches like the Premier and Chronomat. However, you pay a steeper price for that.

    Hi Guy, thank you so much for answering my question!
    To be honest at this point I'm leaning towards the Longines. I prefer smaller watches these days (36-37mm is my sweet spot), and the Longines will keep me interested for much longer I would say. It's more dynamic and just looks more premium. I'm due to try it on next week, but if I'm honest, the price difference means that I'll need to save for another year or so....
    The Sinn is awesomely tooly, but after owning IWC Mark xvi, I think I'll just end up comparing it to that watch I used to have, and it won't be as good... so there you go
    What I'm also realising is that sometimes the best way to buy a watch, is to have the money ready (my personal limit is around $2500, as I don't want to baby my watches and worry about them, if they are ultra expensive), and then go try watches on.... so that's what I will do. I may end up with something that youtubers never talk about, or even an older watch from the past 20 years, from a reseller. There is a big watch area in Glasgow I can get to by train. They have the usual boutiques, but also resellers of older watches...I think that my ideal watch will be small, high quality, decent movement and more importantly legible (think field / pilot style)...if IWC made a mark watch at 37mm, that would be a dream
    So yes, we will see
    For now - Longines Spirit 37mm in black is my "grail" or whatever you call it, but that may change when I see it
    Thank you again
    Bring on 100k, I'm really wishing you the best, I've been watching your videos for 5 years and you're a favourite

    556i vs the Spirit: Hmm. I don’t really see these as comparable. One is attempting to be a shiny beautiful luxury piece and the other is a legible rugged tool watch. The 556 is certainly lacking embellishment and that’s the point. It’s not jewelry. The Spirit is meant to be a bit more flashy. To me, adding all that embellishment is try-hard and obvious. The Sinn manages somehow to be a bolder watch on the wrist despite being minimal, stark, and understated.

    I bought my first Breitling this week, a brand new Avenger Chronograph Gmt and the chronograph would run 20 seconds and then shut off. I tried resetting it and it did the same thing again. So for me personally this wasn't a good introduction into Breitling watches. I have many watches in my collection and I have never had this happen with a brand new piece. Another thing I must say is wearing the Breitling it felt like a brick on my wrist. I'm sure Breitling is a great watchmaker and this was a one off but it definately soured me on the brand.
