Just a quick correction. Tissot visodate is 40 mm. Bad on me for trying to remember all the specs from the memory of owning one and not double checking. Thanks for watching guys!
What I Love about my Panda 1964 Dan Henry was just how low key the Name is on the dial. It doesn’t compete for attention. This is something many watch manufacturers should learn. Even Patek does scream PATEK across the entire dial. Détails of the indices and sundials are so precise, you feel like you want to get a magnifying lens to inspect it further. If you think about it, not many watches encourage you to do the same. The 38 mm size is absolutely perfect for wearing with a suit and many , many observers have told me they were convinced it was some expensive, classic piece from an unknown European manufacturer.
I've always appreciated watches but I really started getting into them when I found your channel. I'm learning everything that I know from you. I recently watched another RUclips's watch video and they mentioned that Dan Henry and I wanted to reach out to you regarding your thoughts on them so I am really happy that you are covering this watch in this video. Keep up the great work!
Teddy, forgot to say thanks for this vid. Got some Xmas cash and gonna buy my first mechanical watch soon. This gives me more great ideas. Your channel is honestly one of the best out there. You’re a watch lover, yet not a watch snob, and that’s an important distinction!
The Dan Henry 1939 chronograph looks a lot nicer than it should for $220. My son liked it so much I got one for him for Christmas. Although neither one of us are using the dress strap it came with. He's using the extra Zulu strap and I bought a black Laco aviator strap for mine. I get a ton of compliments on that watch whenever I wear it.
@@syndicatedsatellite7288 less than one thousand dollars please. Even less than 400 hundreds. That would be affordable not a watch of 5000. The hell in my country they cost more than that.
I have been doing a lot of research of what my first watch to purchase and after watching this video I got the seiko presage. Such an elegant and classy timepiece!
Have the Bulova Moon Watch on my wrist now, can confirm, looks more expensive than it's price. I actually almost got the Tissot Visodate instead of the Bulova (totally different watches, but both have been on my radar for awhile and I had the money for one or the other). I also found an Orient Polaris GMT that I grabbed on eBay, similar to the Orient Star you listed, but with a GMT function, and to me it looks way more expensive than the current going price of around $400 new.
@@BadassBobY i mean that there will always some cheaper watches out there but he tried his best to find affordable versions. It's funny because in his 100-200 USD watches videos there are people saying they are wearing 35-50 USD watches. Now he done the 35-50 range and there are people with 4 USD watch :P Its just my silly observation and atrociously bad with words combine to form this comment lol
I’ve been keeping up from the start of this channel. Really great that you keep the momentum of channels coming along! Definitely do not regret subscribing at all. You absolutely deserve many more subscribers!
I'm so glad you put the Orient Star Classic on here. You can easily get this watch for less than $250. It is a steal at that price. I had the silver dial with silver hands but sold it, however, i recently re-purchased another one - silver case with gold hands - for less than $210. You have own one in person to see just how impressive it is. The finishing and details on this watch are so much better than the Seiko Sarb lines. Another watch I would recommend is its sibling, the Orient Star Elegant.
This is specifically what I’m looking for: affordable watches that look nice and/or more expensive than they are... but are still nice watches (there’s a big difference between the words “inexpensive” and “cheap”). Looking forward to part 2!
so glad you did include Orient Star Classic, I really assumed you have forgotten all about this watch ! my favourite dress watch after i sold my Omega constellation of 50s era with bumper automatic movement
Hands down the Bulova 98A185.. it’s the curve edition. If you haven’t held one and tried one on your wrist, your really missing something. Moreover, it looks hublot’ish but better at under $500 on Amazon.
hey man, just wanted to say, for anybody out there looking for a nice classy watch. I saw this video and bought an Orient Bambino 2nd Gen and it absolutely does not disappoint. It keeps time really well and it is just a great quality watch for an amazing price. thanks for the vid man, you helped me out a lot!
@ 8:12 The Bulova quartz movement with 262hz frequency(that might not be worded right) is EXTREAMLY accurate. I have one and I would say that it gained 5 or 8 seconds in the span of a year. 1 full year it went and i only reset the time on daylight savings and such. The seconds hand has an incredible sweep to it, it doesnt even seem like its ticking, it is trully sweeping around the dail. Just dont buy one at Macy's. Go online and you can find one for 1/3 of the MSRP.
Steve Kelly I’ve got one too, but with the Seiko NH36 movement. I’ve shown friends and family and all thought it looked way more expensive than it was. I’m going to upgrade the strap too, probably to the B&R bands cognac classic vintage band that I’m pretty sure was the one on Teddy’s Guanquin. I think Teddy’s moved his watch on now though. I’ll be keeping mine for sure.
Thank you Teddy!!!! been watchig all of your videos for 2 months, and so glad you have been here to hold my hand of how and why watches are just SO COOOOL!!!
Cadisen C1032 in silver or black dial. Costs around $53 and has a Seiko 4R36 movement and sapphire crystal. I’m wearing it more than my Orient Star Classic. It’s certainly one of the best bang-for- the -buck automatics out there and looks way more expensive than it’s price.
More than once, my blue face Invicta Pro Diver Quartz got the attention of "watch people" from a distance. Great conversation starter, plus it's been running strong for a couple years!
Yes it's a good watch. I just recently purchased the Invicta 8927OB which is an automatic with a hackable and hand winding Seiko movement and it's a really good watch for the price, I really like it.
Excellent video Teddy! I have three watches from the makers you mentioned, Timex, Orient, Tissot. I have also owned a Dan Henry. I think this is a particularly good video for newbies!😀
The Vostok is a reissue of the "Mir", later branded as Vostok powered by their 2209 movement. Soviet brands at the time usually refer to the movements, it was much later on that each manufacturer standardized on having a single brand, such as Chistopol adopted Vostok, Petrodvorets adopted Raketa, First Moscow adopted Poljot, etc. But among enthusiasts we still refer to the movements by their original brand names very frequently, such as Kirovskie for the 2408, Stolichnie for the 2409, etc, by First Moscow.
Great video, my suggestion for part 2 is the Frederique Constant Classic line, they look like Patek Philippe Calatrava watches at a fraction of the cost!
Really good choices. I wish the Tissot Visiodate had the day/date wheel in the same colour as the dial (excluding white). It would make the dial look more symmetrical and a killer dress watch. I have to wear black tie a handful of times a year. I think the Visiodate would be a great option.
Junghans Form C Chrono quartz at $495. I know it's quartz but the design is an excellent Bauhaus piece, and the dial is slightly concave. Watch strap is very supple and I loved it when I first put it on. This series gets often overlooked for the Max Bill lineup.
Well I just snagged a Timex Intelligent Flyback Chronograph (From London) for $ 113 (Aussie) or $ 79 (US) which is a lot of watch for a small amount of money (Possibly a little cheaper on Amazon US,- but a lot of sellers on there won't ship Down Under) But it has the Timex quality and style and certainly attracts more that's it's fair share of comments. Glad you showed the Bambino Teddy, I thought they were way more expensive....might be the next on my "Hit" list!
Nice video, I just bought my first proper watch two days ago (certina DS podium chronograph GMT) and found your channel subsequently. Have to say I've been loving your content so far and I wish you keep up the quality content!
Hello! Great video! Could you please provide a link to the Timex Weekender Chronograph with the cream dial and green arabic numbers that shows on left at 00:30 ? I'm not finding that exact colour combination ! Thanks! (edit: found it - TW2P85300, 39mm case diameter)
I think that the orient mako ii is a very good looking watch for the price. The only downside is that it does not have a sapphire crystal. Mine just got a huge scratch.
I would recommend you to review Citizen Pro-Master BN0 191-80L. It’s a great diver which looks quite expensive. Moreover not a lot of youtubers have reviewed the watch. Thanks for the videos, they are lot of fun.
For the 2nd part you could take a look at the certina ds podium, citizen nighthawk, timex waterbury, stowa marine classic(the manual wind one), edox hydroconquest quartz, oris big date, and the list goes on and on...
Hi there! I'm new in the world of watches. Can anyone tell me if Paul Rich is a good watch to buy? I like the pieces but I am not sure how to determine the quality vs price. Thanks for any advice!
I have had that Timex chronograph in the past when it was in a different case. The first one the time function died after two years, but the chronograph still functioned. Timex replaced it under warranty. The same second watch the chronograph function died after two years, but it still kept time. No warranty for the second watch. Changing the battery did not help. I moved up from that to a 2007 Breitling SuperOcean.
You should take a look at the Cadisen C1032. You can find it on gearbest or aliexpress for around $60. It has a Seiko NH36 Movement, hacks, hand winds, has a sapphire crystal and display case back and a 50M water resistance. Swap the original strap out for a leather one and it becomes quite a nice dress and travel watch.
Hi Teddy can I recommend the Ciga Design Z Watch in Titanium for consideration? - priced around $250. I own this watch and it gets many compliments and has been mistaken more than once for a certain very expensive watch know for this shape. Worth the premium for titanium over the stainless version. It was also proved to be very accurate. Best watch I've bought at this price point in my collection.
Look at the Timex Harborside 42mm, Timex Southview Multifunction (looks loosely like something IWC would make) and the Timex Metal Feild!!!!!!!!!! I own all and I know you would like them!
I just got a new citizen pro diver ny0080 and hated the rubber it came on. I put a engineer bracelet on it and looks so much better. You can also talk about how a new band or bracelet on a watch can change the looks dramatically plus that will give you a second to mention your line of straps too.
Pretty much any Mido in that price range, and plenty are if you buy grey market. Mido Baroncelli and Multifort can get below 500 at times, and both look way more expensive than they are. For example, I have a Baroncelli as well as an Orient Bambino - in non-macro pics, the Orient is close, but in person, it isn't close how much nicer the Baroncelli is. Another is Seiko snkk65 for like 70, which has a really fancy looking bracelet and a sunray effect silver dial. Or any Seiko Cocktail time. All are gorgeous on the wrist and under 500.
I have the Timex Weekender on the far left at 0:30 (the bronze finish) and wore it today. My girlfriend gave it to me as a dating anniversary gift and I love it so far. Also have the black ion Seiko Samurai but I'd love the STO version that you got. Cheers!
I’m curious about your thoughts on popular brands such as OOO, Nautis, Heritor, Aragon, Deep Blue. OOO and Deep Blue seem interesting, Nautis & Aragon remind me of Invicta and Heritor seems gimmicky. But then what do I know, my current favs are 3 of the Meccaniche Veneziane and my simple rough and tumble Casio Duro the lastest one I purchased through your website. Thanks.
Howdy Teddy, my 17 year old son has the Tissot Visodate and I must say it is much, much, more beautiful in person as most things are, great review and your choices are spot on! Cheers.
Man, I love the look of the bambino. Looking at either getting the black 2nd gen v1, or the cream dial 2nd gen v2. Can't really decide. They're all the same except for the styling, right?
I recently got a new watch the new Seiko presage SRPC97J1 i really think it looks more expencive than it is due to the hands and especially the really detailed almost snowflake dial. Would be nice to include it in some other episode.
Nice to see a different Vostok for a change. My suggestion for part 2 would be the Chinese Starking AM0184 because in addition to the spec which is getting on for ridiculous at the price, it actually looks the part in real life. Don't like the silly little date window and wish they hadn't bothered, but otherwise expectations well and truly exceeded.
You saved my visidate for last. I have a cream coloured version. With French/English choice of day names. It’s had its share of compliments on my wrist.
I have a suggestion. I recently purchased a vintage Cartier Santos and it looks WAY more expensive than it actually was. Not sure it fits in the "Affordable" category (1200 euro) but definitely a huge ratio elegance/price. I also would add the Sea-Gull 1963 at this price point. We always see it on that military strap cheaping it down. but I tried it in the Sea-Gull boutique on a black leather strap contrasting with that high polish case, it was gorgeous! Great video, thank you!
Anyone any suggestions on practical GMT with tracking 2-3 time zones for under 500? btw, Orient Bambino finally arrived in Estonia for 330 EUR. sick. The watch at 4:16 I personally own and here it's called Orient Classic FAC00004B0.
Going back and looking at affordable watch recommendation vids...As my watch budget has changed dramatically! Thanks for the great video! $10,000 for the Bambino huh? You should have told her it was $11,000 and given her one… It would’ve been a good time until she figured it out!!!
The last watch(Tissot Visodate)...It’s my go-to dress watch. 60s styling with hints of art deco(50’s) Because of the case shape and Lugs. And it’s got an ETA movement! I’ve got a couple of much more expensive dress watches, But this one always returns to the wrist as one of my first choices!
I have an Orient tank watch. 469 21 jewel movement( aka 40w46 ). Lots of good history about this movement it's an upgraded Seiko 7005 17 jewel movement. Also Kenith Cole in their hayday had a gorgeous 29 jeweled Ingersol 432 automatic movement watch the A126-12 kc-1899 New York edition watch ( Chronograph)Day/Date/month and a carousel Geneve wheel behind the balance bridge. Just shy of $600.
Timex makes GREAT watches that are very affordable and look classy and luxurious. The weekender is a good first watch, but my favorite is the Waterbury Classic Chronograph 40mm. Amazing watch for only $140 or so. The Fairfield is another great Timex line with Bauhaus design (my FAVORITE).
I might mention the Tissot Gentleman too. I've just ordered the silver dial quartz version, and looking forward to sitting it alongside my Oyster Perpetual to see the difference. It really looks like a clean, simple and elegant design.
Excellent video, as always, Teddy! Is the gorgeous strap on the weekend at 0:44 from you line or did you get it elsewhere? I need one like it for myself! 😂
Dear Terry could you maybe add a Spanish micro brand the Tempore V one with the TTP1-11 movement. Till now there is only a review in Spanish on You Tube
Love your content. I just feel you should've added seiko skx009 instead of srpc. Same water resistance, 100 dollars cheaper and looks even better than the srpc.
I usually watch this videos purely for knowledge without any expectation of finding a new watch. The SKX013 has been my goal for the past 2 years but I think it's just been surpassed by the 1964 Gran Turismo. The fact that it's 38 mm for my 5.5 wrist seems like destiny...Just looking at it, I feel it would get a lot of compliments from non-watch enthusiasts over the SKX and at a similar price I think I have a new dream watch!
Look into Graf Zeppelin for this category. German company, many Swiss quartz options with some more expensive automatics (quartz pieces can be found for around $250), very vintage inspired designs!
Your list hit 4 watches off of my wishlist. And for a suggestion, I'd like to add the Geckota P-02 Dress Chronograph, it looks amazing, has that vintage feel, and is very affordable.
I own the Orient Star Classic and the Seiko SRPC93. I smiled when I saw them featured on this video, back to back. The person who wins your SRPC93 is going to have an AMAZING watch. I’m wearing mine as I type this 😃

Hellooooooooo
My favorite watch channel on RUclips.
Steve Kelly I’ve got one too, but with the Seiko NH36 movement. I’ve shown friends and family and all thought it looked way more expensive than it was. I’m going to upgrade the strap too, probably to the B&R bands cognac classic vintage band that I’m pretty sure was the one on Teddy’s Guanquin. I think Teddy’s moved his watch on now though. I’ll be keeping mine for sure.
China make some brilliant watches. Heimdallr and Phoibs knock spots off of Seiko, I know because I have plenty of all three brands
No because they're JUNK that dies in 2 months. With brand names that are gone after a few years. Not the 50+ year old names in this video.
Love the Vostok Classica
Thank you Teddy!!!! been watchig all of your videos for 2 months, and so glad you have been here to hold my hand of how and why watches are just SO COOOOL!!!

Agreed totally on them! For this first one I was trying to keep all the watches under 300 to 400 dollars. I think I can branch out more in part 2.
They look nice. But no originallity there.
Almost bought a frederique constant, but we started to go to all the boutiques, ended up paying 8x more for a glashuette original LOL
Some real beautiful picks. Great video Teddy. 👏👏👏
Really good choices.
I wish the Tissot Visiodate had the day/date wheel in the same colour as the dial (excluding white). It would make the dial look more symmetrical and a killer dress watch.

It was also proved to be very accurate. Best watch I've bought at this price point in my collection.
Can any provide more info on the watches mentioned at the 1:49 mark?
Teddy! I just picked up a Seagull 1963. Chinese manual wind automatic chronograph. Beautiful watch around 200 bucks
Hi, I need help, I am thinking to buy a HUGO BOSS watch is it worth it? Should I buy it? Is there any better alternative watch?
Look at the Timex Harborside 42mm, Timex Southview Multifunction (looks loosely like something IWC would make) and the Timex Metal Feild!!!!!!!!!! I own all and I know you would like them!
I just got a new citizen pro diver ny0080 and hated the rubber it came on. I put a engineer bracelet on it and looks so much better. You can also talk about how a new band or bracelet on a watch can change the looks dramatically plus that will give you a second to mention your line of straps too.
Pretty much any Mido in that price range, and plenty are if you buy grey market. Mido Baroncelli and Multifort can get below 500 at times, and both look way more expensive than they are. For example, I have a Baroncelli as well as an Orient Bambino - in non-macro pics, the Orient is close, but in person, it isn't close how much nicer the Baroncelli is.
Another is Seiko snkk65 for like 70, which has a really fancy looking bracelet and a sunray effect silver dial.
Or any Seiko Cocktail time. All are gorgeous on the wrist and under 500.
I would've added the discontinued orient presidents as well
Always liked the look of them. They have becoming increasingly hard to find now though.
Love the affordable line of videos, if you can make an affordable mechanical and automatic only video that would be lovely.
I have the Timex Weekender on the far left at 0:30 (the bronze finish) and wore it today. My girlfriend gave it to me as a dating anniversary gift and I love it so far. Also have the black ion Seiko Samurai but I'd love the STO version that you got. Cheers!
I’m curious about your thoughts on popular brands such as OOO, Nautis, Heritor, Aragon, Deep Blue. OOO and Deep Blue seem interesting, Nautis & Aragon remind me of Invicta and Heritor seems gimmicky. But then what do I know, my current favs are 3 of the Meccaniche Veneziane and my simple rough and tumble Casio Duro the lastest one I purchased through your website. Thanks.
Howdy Teddy, my 17 year old son has the Tissot Visodate and I must say it is much, much, more beautiful in person as most things are, great review and your choices are spot on! Cheers.
Man, I love the look of the bambino. Looking at either getting the black 2nd gen v1, or the cream dial 2nd gen v2. Can't really decide. They're all the same except for the styling, right?
The Bulova really is a gem.
I get sooo many compliments on it.
Threw on a brown distressed Dassari leather strap and it looks bomb.
Putting aside looks, which one do you think is a better watch overall, seiko cocktail or the tissot??
Bulova are beautiful movements because they literally have a tuning fork in them
Casio MTP4500D (not the edifice version), looks kind of like it would fit in the 150$ range but is actually sold for around 50$
I recently got a new watch the new Seiko presage SRPC97J1 i really think it looks more expencive than it is due to the hands and especially the really detailed almost snowflake dial. Would be nice to include it in some other episode.
Hello Teddy. What do you think of the G Shock Rangeman BPR 1000. I'm thinking of buying it this weekend. Please give me your opinion on it.
Nice to see a different Vostok for a change. My suggestion for part 2 would be the Chinese Starking AM0184 because in addition to the spec which is getting on for ridiculous at the price, it actually looks the part in real life. Don't like the silly little date window and wish they hadn't bothered, but otherwise expectations well and truly exceeded.
You saved my visidate for last. I have a cream coloured version. With French/English choice of day names. It’s had its share of compliments on my wrist.
I have a suggestion. I recently purchased a vintage Cartier Santos and it looks WAY more expensive than it actually was. Not sure it fits in the "Affordable" category (1200 euro) but definitely a huge ratio elegance/price. I also would add the Sea-Gull 1963 at this price point. We always see it on that military strap cheaping it down. but I tried it in the Sea-Gull boutique on a black leather strap contrasting with that high polish case, it was gorgeous! Great video, thank you!
Check out the Richard LeGrand Odyssea Mark II... Looks like a $1000 watch... However it can be had for $250.
Anyone any suggestions on practical GMT with tracking 2-3 time zones for under 500? btw, Orient Bambino finally arrived in Estonia for 330 EUR. sick. The watch at 4:16 I personally own and here it's called Orient Classic FAC00004B0.
Going back and looking at affordable watch recommendation vids...As my watch budget has changed dramatically! Thanks for the great video!
$10,000 for the Bambino huh? You should have told her it was $11,000 and given her one… It would’ve been a good time until she figured it out!!!
The last watch(Tissot Visodate)...It’s my go-to dress watch. 60s styling with hints of art deco(50’s) Because of the case shape and Lugs. And it’s got an ETA movement! I’ve got a couple of much more expensive dress watches, But this one always returns to the wrist as one of my first choices!
I have an Orient tank watch. 469 21 jewel movement( aka 40w46 ). Lots of good history about this movement it's an upgraded Seiko 7005 17 jewel movement. Also Kenith Cole in their hayday had a gorgeous 29 jeweled Ingersol 432 automatic movement watch the A126-12 kc-1899 New York edition watch ( Chronograph)Day/Date/month and a carousel Geneve wheel behind the balance bridge. Just shy of $600.
Seiko Cocktail is certainly my favorite from the list.
Can't wait for the next par. awesome as always.
Timex makes GREAT watches that are very affordable and look classy and luxurious. The weekender is a good first watch, but my favorite is the Waterbury Classic Chronograph 40mm. Amazing watch for only $140 or so. The Fairfield is another great Timex line with Bauhaus design (my FAVORITE).
I might mention the Tissot Gentleman too. I've just ordered the silver dial quartz version, and looking forward to sitting it alongside my Oyster Perpetual to see the difference. It really looks like a clean, simple and elegant design.
What are your thoughts on Nixon and fossil ?
Excellent video, as always, Teddy! Is the gorgeous strap on the weekend at 0:44 from you line or did you get it elsewhere? I need one like it for myself! 😂
For the next video(s), could you add the lug-to-lug distance when listing the specs of a watch? You yourself have mentioned its importance
I think this is probably a good suggestion.
Hans Lankamp Lug-to-lug distance has been a dealbreaker of a few watches for me, so I agree about it’s importance.
What do you think about the Certina DS-1 Big Date Powermatic 80 (Blue version)?
That orient star with the blue strap is gorgeous. Where could I find that strap? Didn’t see that model online with it
Dear Terry could you maybe add a Spanish micro brand the Tempore V one with the TTP1-11 movement. Till now there is only a review in Spanish on You Tube
Happy New Year Teddy
Love your content. I just feel you should've added seiko skx009 instead of srpc. Same water resistance, 100 dollars cheaper and looks even better than the srpc.
Hey Teddy, i know it isn’t your style, but have you ever thought of creating nato straps?
I usually watch this videos purely for knowledge without any expectation of finding a new watch. The SKX013 has been my goal for the past 2 years but I think it's just been surpassed by the 1964 Gran Turismo. The fact that it's 38 mm for my 5.5 wrist seems like destiny...Just looking at it, I feel it would get a lot of compliments from non-watch enthusiasts over the SKX and at a similar price I think I have a new dream watch!
Orient Maestro. Recently bought from you, Teddy! Awesome watch, awesome value.
Good content mate💥💥
Look into Graf Zeppelin for this category. German company, many Swiss quartz options with some more expensive automatics (quartz pieces can be found for around $250), very vintage inspired designs!
Love your videos, thanks for making them
Your list hit 4 watches off of my wishlist. And for a suggestion, I'd like to add the Geckota P-02 Dress Chronograph, it looks amazing, has that vintage feel, and is very affordable.
Any good watches under 100$ for a large wrist? I really like the aestetics of the seiko 5 snk but it's just too small
I own the Orient Star Classic and the Seiko SRPC93. I smiled when I saw them featured on this video, back to back. The person who wins your SRPC93 is going to have an AMAZING watch. I’m wearing mine as I type this 😃
Excellent review . I love this guy for his expertise on watches. I just bought yesterday an ORIENT through Amazon reaching to me on 16th
