    My favorite tank style watch is the Bulova Frank Sinatra My Way with the black dial. So beautiful

    Hi Norman. I enjoy watching your videos and just love your soft and smooth voice.
    Guess you are either a New Yorker or the New England states or Canadian, but I can fall asleep listening to you.
    I like rectangular watches (all budget friendly brands Limit, Jigsaw and Rotary) and find them unique albeit underrated.
    You really do know your watches.
    Anyways, please keep on making more videos.
    Greetings from Spalding in the county of Lincolnshire, United Kingdom

      Thank you SO much!! I'm actually from WA state heh.
      I'll actually be doing a full video on Rotary probably next week.
      I love loungy Jazz vibes, so glad that mood comes across in my videos!
      My podcast is prob even more chill lol

    Some nice choices here. I’d like a tank style with a manual wind movement in the future. The ones I have now are all quartz. If I had the cash, I’d choose either the Reverso or a Cartier model.

      I do like big dates, and actually don't mind day/dates - but in general I prefer the look of a nice clean dial.
      And I often rotate through my watches, and it's much quicker to wake up and set a no date watch. Hhh laziness.

    Obviously I am late to the discussion. You are like me you like nice watches but don't have the extra money to justify buying the real luxury watches like that last model you described. If I was you I would pick a class of watches you can afford to buy. I will never buy a real luxury watch. I can't. The good news is that you can find plenty of homage watches even in the tank watch category that are obviously quartz watches. You can find real stainless steel case models with nice dials and hands and cheap quartz movements for very reasonable prices. I like to buy using Aliexpress. If you know what you are doing you can find nice watches and really pay a lot less for them. You don't want to pay much for the watches if you are going to have a collection of them because obviously you are not going to wear them much. I see some youtubers have 50 or more watches. Not a good idea. I love your Longines watch by the way. You don't need any more tank watches. Thats a keeper.
