The Urban Gentry Hi. i am new on your channel. I have a question about Tissot t touch classic. what do you think about it? i hope you dont mimd to answer. Thanks in advance
I'ma be honest, I have love/hate relationship with TGV's channel. Love because I'm a watch enthusiast myself and I love it when I anticipate a new video from him. And hate because I'm tryna be more conservative and save money but every time you post a new video makes me wanna spend my savings haha!!!
THANKYOU! for actually having the watches in your hands. I don’t know how long I’ve been digging through people talking with pop up pictures in the corner taken from google image search
I love how you go into just enough details. Shows knowledge, but understanding about what makes a watch a watch to the owner. Thank you for the videos again.
Another lovely duel of icons! can't stay away from those Chronographs. Together with the "Citizen Nighthawk Vs Seiko SNA411" you have covered these types perfectly. You have my thanks, TGV
Awesome! As always I made my wife watching the video and this time she said "I love the Sinn"..that would make it so much easier to buy..I'll wait before telling her the price though..
Dang it Man! Now I'm going to have to buy a Spitfire model! That blue dial, applied markers and polished hands make the Breitling the winner in my book. Great review, love the historical points you bring up too. Ciao, John
Haha, I totally get it. I hope you go for it. I think it will really suit you. Which one are you going to go for? Forgive my nosiness ;-) Thank you Ricardo, Best regards, TGV
Thanks TGV. I've been looking forward to your next video. Didn't disappoint. I'm a chronograph lover enjoyed the duel between these two beautiful pieces. I have to say I do slightly prefer the Sinn. It just appeals to me a bit more,however, the Breitling's bygone charm has a certain romance to its design that the Sinn doesn't. I'd have them both if I were able to😊
Hey TGV, a small idea for future duel criteria. Something very very important: Talk about what the brand gives you when you buy the watch, like maybe warranty? Breitling gives you 5 years for in-house, which is obviously better compared to Sinn. Another criteria could be what the brand gives you along with the watch, how prestigious and nice are the box and papers? Definitely 2 very relevant points for a duel I believe!
All my boxes go into the closet and are seldom accessed. The watches go to the safe or wrist or winder. Boxes are relevant only for sales presentation.
Greg B & Igear: I mostly agree that boxes and papers are irrelevant aside from resell - but there are some exceptions? I think Breitling often gives you a nice portable watch case? And things like Grand Seiko's individual testing "score sheet" do elevate the "Buying Experience".
Woooww! I love the way you act surprised when you reveal the final score. Given that you did the math yourself sometime earlier. Maybe you forgot the result. But I agree with the result.
Aahh, damn, every time I hear TGV talk about his personal Navitimer I feel bad because the relevant Navitimer is the B01 model, it's been out since 2012 I believe. The new one absolutely blows the ETA Navitimer shown in this video out of the water! In house B01 movement (MASSIVE upgrade), better finishing, applied solid gold logo, date in black, some have a display caseback, nicer color choices (chrono seconds is entirely red instead of just the tip etc.). Simply said: I strongly believe the B01 model would have destroyed the Sinn in a duel! Maybe one day we'll see that duel? I hope you get a B01 model from Saltzman's TGV and do a review! Maybe one day upgrade to a B01 model? Great vid though, thanks for the duel, very interesting as always!
Yours is 42mm (bezel diameter, case is 41), the new one is 43mm (also bezel 42, case 41mm). Sure you can't push for one more mm? I'm guessing you've already tried the new one on before =D Again, thanks for the interesting video. Always fun watching your duels!
Philip A Winged you make a good point - really need to compare like for like era wise otherwise it's a little unfair. But then again, how fair is it to compare a more expensive watch to a cheaper one?
I must say I still think the Sinn would win. The Breitling may have the technically better movement, but the Sinn will be easier and cheaper to service. The Sinn still has better lume and better water resistance. They my have upped the finishing on the Breitling, but it would be hard for them to beat the finishing already on the Sinn. Those features, coupled with the Sinn's significantly lower price, make Sinn the clear victor in my book.
You read my mind! I was watching videos last night trying to get the low down on these two watches. I just had to wait 24hrs. You answered all my questions.
Thanks for the comparison! I tried the blue version of the Sinn at Sinn in Frankfurt - its a fantastic watch and the blue ist so dark - it's almost black. The lume is not bright white but looks old like a vintage watch and fits perfectly with the dark blue. I'm in love with that watch! Thanks again !
For a man who says he's still learning your watch knowledge really is expansive. You're an inspiration to read more and apply it and as usual an absolute top shelf video.
Seven years later the 903 II is out with an outer rotating bezel and 200 m WR. It has an LJP L110 column wheel chronograph movement that's based on an ETA/Valjous 7753.
Fabulous video! Second or third time watching it... LOL. Keep them coming, we miss you and I hope things are well😊 I've owned both and the Sinn 903 stayed in my collection, as a matter of fact, I'm wearing right now👍Just shoveled the driveway in a snow storm and no worries because of the 100M WR.
LOL, sorry for the late upload, LOOOOONG day at work but I used home just in time ;-) Enjoy and may your dreams be full of happy flying. Thank you, Best regards, TGV
Agree with your evaluation. For me, the Sinn just has a cool factor that trumps the Breitling. Also, the history behind the Sinn makes it a great conversational piece.
love your reviews. I got my seiko skx diver, hamilton, tissot because of your reviews. I've wanted a breitling navitimer since I was a kid and personally am more motivated to get one after this review. I like Sinn as well and appreciate their quality and price.
Thank you very much for this excellent video. I appreciate so much that you highlight brands such as Sinn and Fortis, which lacks lot in marketing compared to for instance Rolex, Omega and Breitling, but produces excellent watches.
Thanks for an objective review. And thanks for noting that MIles Davis wore a Navitimer; I would give the Breitling one more point in the X-Factor column because of that.
I love both watches and I'm a huge fan of both Brands. Couple years ago I bought the Sinn 903 also as a Black Edition as used for the comparison and last year I bought the Breitling Navitimer 01 46mm. The Sinn is definitly the tool watch which can be worn everyday. The blingy Navitimer is the more elegant watch for special events.
Love the duel intros, you know how to build excitement! There's nothing like the original but I find myself partial to the Sinn. It's dark face harkens back to the navis of old. Thanks for filling us in on the fascinating story behind these beautiful watches.
Haha yeah I'm not into busy looking dials but I ended up watching this video because I know you're going to give an interesting review and opinion for both watches.
Same here. I probably won't ever own a watch that busy (never say never!), but I enjoyed the video as well. Learned a bit about a couple of watches I wasn't very familiar with.
Ok, I ordered a Sinn catalogue. (Hi, new to the channel, just starting my watch-loving voyage and noticed your taste is very similar to mine. Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions! Ch!)
Chris_Audittr2108 I think if you just love the watch, doesn't matter what people say. I've got people telling me all sorts of crap all the time specially the watch snobs But hey, if you truly love what you're wearing anything you do with what you love about is justified just by wearing it ;)
Why? First off, you'll probably never hear that since normies don't give a shit. If you met a watch guy, they're probably find it more interesting that you had the Sinn version.
@@trevbarlow9719 difficult to disagree. Watch enthusiasts are often curious about offbeat choices whereas people who just want to show their wealth off will only buy the brand name watch.
I was waiting for another video so badly! Thanks for the upload TGV! Oh and by the way you now convinced me to buy the Seiko SARB033 over the Tissot Le Locle Powermatic 80 and the Hamilton Timeless Classic Valiant thank you very much for your indirect help! Have a great day Greetings from Berlin
The Navitimer with the stratus gray dial and display caseback is a more modern looking Navitimer. It's a better comparison to the evolved Sinn. Again a great video Tgv ! Keep it up !
I love the look of Breitling watches; in fact, it was the Navitimer that first captured my imagination several years ago and encouraged me to explore all that Breitling has to offer in watches. Those dials!! I'm also a fan of Sinn. They make a handsome watch. There is something compelling about aviation watches. I guess it's their overall look. Even something as inexpensive as the Seiko Flightmaster SNA411 manages to strut in its own special way. This was a good comparison between Breitling and Sinn. Am I surprised that Sinn came out the winner? Not at all! It's a gorgeous timepiece. Would I choose it over the Navitimer....no. It's that Breitling charm that never fails to seduce.
Great video Tristano, big fan of both watches. Still can't decide whether I'm a fan of the strap on your Navitimer, all down to personal taste though!!
Great video again! I'm loving the comparison videos and think they're great. For a future video idea you should make a Speedmaster vs Daytona video, two more iconic chronos compared.
Thank you, excellent suggestion. I will have a Daytona in for review hopefully in the next few months, I will see if I can duel them. Best regards, TGV
The breitling is a very nice watch but the Sinn definitely does it for me. A great comparison and upload as always keep up the great work look forward to the next video watches or non watch related.
Look at that Sinn rotor go! You're going to end up as a Sinn ambassador TGV! I'm hoping Breitling can get back it's former glory soon. Great video as you usual!
Great video! I agree with the scores. Both of them are beautiful watches but given the "robustness" of the Sinn, I would be less worried while wearing it. Cheers!
The Sinn is everything the Breitling used to be and should’ve evolved into. A tool watch. Better water and shock resistance. I can actually can take this thing to work and not worry about banging it into something in the cockpit. Price difference is significant also. Better watch, less expensive. Less blingy with the smaller size. Sold me on the Sinn.
Great video, TGV! The Breitling has more appeal IMO but the Sinn is better value for money. Guess it's a matter of which of those you value more in a timepiece.
TGV, Hope you are doing well. I have to be honest! due to the fact that the navitimer is yours, i thought this was gonna be a bit of a biased duel. I was wrong! Absoulty perfect duel, i really enjoyed this one. Best Regards, WUG
Richard Rodriguez Congratulations from Germany 🇩🇪 Also bought a sinn, as a German I know what quality means to us and I guarantee that you will enjoy this one as long as you live👌🏻
The bezel screw on the Sinn is actually a demerit in my book. The Breitling in person looks incredible (wish I could see the Sinn in person). Both are incredible timepieces
Have to admit that I was pulling for the Sinn but I am admittedly biased towards the brand. Sinn was my first auto watch, a 103 ST. That then took me to the 103 ST SA and later on to a 656. Don't get me wrong, if someone offered me a Navitimer, I would take it in a heartbeat. Frankly I love both and if finances allowed I'd own both due to their unique personalities. Anyway, great video as always.
That Sinn is nice but if you compare it to the current Navitimer B01 I think the advantages narrow with the new column wheel movement, sapphire back etc. Also I heavily question how operable that knob at 11 really is. I think it still trumps the Navi on the water resistance side.
I just LOVE the par épargne dial ! It's stunning and i hate no one else is doing this on their dial! Does Breitling have a patent on that ? Also, nothing beats Breilting AR coating :)
The 903 is in my Grail list and this video makes me want it even more! At the start of the video I thought this would have been one sided towards to Breitling Tbh.
Great comparison, thanks for it! I have to agree with your conclusion, I would go for the Navitimer every time as well. But the Sinn absolutely has my respect, if not my interest. I have to agree with the B01 comments, it may not be fair to say the Navitimer is resting on it's laurels. In any event, I'm excited to see where Breitling goes under new ownership and direction. Hopefully they can better bridge the gap of appealing to both us watch geeks and the mass market.
Just joined your channel a few weeks ago - 2nd watch duel video I've watched on your channel and both times I'm just not on your wave length, but I respect your opinion. Having been in aviation and aerospace for 32 years it is totally dumbfounding to me that Sinn wins this. Clearly, you have much, much more experience in watch tech and lore . . . keep up the good work, though I can see we have very, very different evaluative disciplines and analytic skill sets.
I think an aviator on bracelet is as wrong as a diver on leather. Modern aircraft probably have the engine power to lift even a bracelet, but it just doesn't suit the style :-) I often use the slide rule bezel when browsing auctions in foreign currency. It's so handy to see any price converted to Euros on one glance. And of course it works for timing just as well as dive bezels. Just use the red 60 to mark when your pasta will be cooked.
The strap is a _RIOS1931 Nature Buffalo_ 22mm in the Cognac colour. They're made by a German company.

No lie. Navitimer was seriously 0% on my radar and I found myself on eBay during the video..
The Sinn is the hot, young babe, but the Navitimer is the woman I'm in love with
THANKYOU! for actually having the watches in your hands. I don’t know how long I’ve been digging through people talking with pop up pictures in the corner taken from google image search
I love how you go into just enough details. Shows knowledge, but understanding about what makes a watch a watch to the owner. Thank you for the videos again.

Another lovely duel of icons! can't stay away from those Chronographs. Together with the "Citizen Nighthawk Vs Seiko SNA411" you have covered these types perfectly. You have my thanks, TGV
I just picked up the 903 after a two year search for the right one. Another great video, TGV! Thanks for the channel! 🙏
Awesome! As always I made my wife watching the video and this time she said "I love the Sinn"..that would make it so much easier to buy..I'll wait before telling her the price though..
LOL, best of luck Domenico! ;-)
Thank you,

10 out of 10 for excellent showmanship! That "unboxing" made me hold my breath. And your intros are the best.

LOL, its from Corgi btw, the best IMO at die cast.
Thank you John, very much appreciated.

Great review but a grail is a grail. Fell in love with the Navi. The new girl on the block won't pull me away.
Haha, I totally get it. I hope you go for it. I think it will really suit you. Which one are you going to go for? Forgive my nosiness ;-)
Thank you Ricardo,
Best regards,

The Urban Gentry Either the newer 01 models or a vintage 7806 with the 7740 inside.
I thought the sinn was a knockoff at first lol
@@elichiz4228it is.
Call me crazy but I think I prefer the Sinn :O great video T!

that predator meets chessboard intro still gets me in 2024. genius. btw sinn just released an update (I am not payed by them!)

It could be called "Buying Experience" maybe
All my boxes go into the closet and are seldom accessed. The watches go to the safe or wrist or winder. Boxes are relevant only for sales presentation.
I like the idea of the length of warranty, but I don't think the box and papers make any difference. All you do is store them
Greg B & Igear:
I mostly agree that boxes and papers are irrelevant aside from resell - but there are some exceptions? I think Breitling often gives you a nice portable watch case? And things like Grand Seiko's individual testing "score sheet" do elevate the "Buying Experience".

I love the Predator theme so much! Gets me pumped to fight aliens and compare wristwatches 🔫⌚️
This is your best review. Superb job bro. Cheers!

If you ever get a chance to review a Sinn Frankfurt Market Watch, please do! :) Thanks again for another great video.
Thank you Steve,
I will certainly look out for it.
Best regards,
TGV
The breitling is a very nice watch but the Sinn definitely does it for me. A great comparison and upload as always keep up the great work look forward to the next video watches or non watch related.
Look at that Sinn rotor go! You're going to end up as a Sinn ambassador TGV! I'm hoping Breitling can get back it's former glory soon. Great video as you usual!
Splendid,reliable yet a shade flamboyant...Bravo TGV
Oh,yes I'd always choose Sinn,a very serious watchmaker indeed.
Thank you Terry!
Best regards,
TGV
No,really,thank you
Great video! I agree with the scores. Both of them are beautiful watches but given the "robustness" of the Sinn, I would be less worried while wearing it. Cheers!
I wish you would bring back videos like this. With watch box you could have loads of these
Wow, what a choice to make. Very objective, well done.
Thank you Rick :D

The Sinn is everything the Breitling used to be and should’ve evolved into. A tool watch. Better water and shock resistance. I can actually can take this thing to work and not worry about banging it into something in the cockpit. Price difference is significant also. Better watch, less expensive. Less blingy with the smaller size. Sold me on the Sinn.
Love your videos. I always liked watches but you made me love them. 😊😊👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. Well done and thank you for this comparison.
Great review. Been looking at the 903 with the fake patina indices. Had cooled of on that, but I'm now again on that watch after your video.
I belive this Sinn has the Valjoux movement and not the Sellita based on the regulation mechanism; nice video TGV :)
Thank you, as I said, they did have the valjoux but switched over recently to the SW500.
Best regards,
TGV
Great video, TGV! The Breitling has more appeal IMO but the Sinn is better value for money. Guess it's a matter of which of those you value more in a timepiece.
Thank you Katrina, excellent comment as always, spot on!
Best regards,
TGV
TGV,
Hope you are doing well. I have to be honest! due to the fact that the navitimer is yours, i thought this was gonna be a bit of a biased duel. I was wrong! Absoulty perfect duel, i really enjoyed this one.
Best Regards,
WUG
Thank you so much :D So glad to hear!
Best regards,
TGV
I just received my sinn 903 blue version today. Absolutely gorgeous watch. ❤️👌🏼
Richard Rodriguez Congratulations from Germany 🇩🇪 Also bought a sinn, as a German I know what quality means to us and I guarantee that you will enjoy this one as long as you live👌🏻
Marvi Haemmer Very well built watch for the money. 🙏🏽🙌🏽
Richard Rodriguez It will be my next one, but I need to save money first😂🙌🏻 Best wishes for you✌🏻
Great video. I would prefer the Breitling because its such a iconic watch.:)
The Breitling Navitimer Legend...Sinn Nav maybe a Legend in the making...
Great video as always TGV
The bezel screw on the Sinn is actually a demerit in my book. The Breitling in person looks incredible (wish I could see the Sinn in person). Both are incredible timepieces
Have to admit that I was pulling for the Sinn but I am admittedly biased towards the brand. Sinn was my first auto watch, a 103 ST. That then took me to the 103 ST SA and later on to a 656. Don't get me wrong, if someone offered me a Navitimer, I would take it in a heartbeat. Frankly I love both and if finances allowed I'd own both due to their unique personalities. Anyway, great video as always.
That Sinn is nice but if you compare it to the current Navitimer B01 I think the advantages narrow with the new column wheel movement, sapphire back etc. Also I heavily question how operable that knob at 11 really is. I think it still trumps the Navi on the water resistance side.
Tsistano...wait is that a SPEEDY? He he Really enjoy the videos keep them going!!! Have a great summer.
How do the look and feel on the wrist?
Great stuff. Looks like im going to wear my Sinn 903HD tomorrow.
Haha, nice!! Happy Sinning,
Thank you Hoang,
Best regards,
TGV
I just LOVE the par épargne dial ! It's stunning and i hate no one else is doing this on their dial! Does Breitling have a patent on that ? Also, nothing beats Breilting AR coating :)
ooh what an interesting duel!! I am definitely a fan of the Breity, specially in the color scheme of yours!!
Haha thank you Joao, my video would be incomplete without your comment!
Thank you my friend, I hope this finds you well.
Best regards,
TGV
The 903 is in my Grail list and this video makes me want it even more! At the start of the video I thought this would have been one sided towards to Breitling Tbh.
Awesome vid again I'd have to go with the Sinn 103 but I like the look of the navitimer better
Thank you Johnny :D
Best regards,
TGV
Great comparison, thanks for it! I have to agree with your conclusion, I would go for the Navitimer every time as well. But the Sinn absolutely has my respect, if not my interest. I have to agree with the B01 comments, it may not be fair to say the Navitimer is resting on it's laurels. In any event, I'm excited to see where Breitling goes under new ownership and direction. Hopefully they can better bridge the gap of appealing to both us watch geeks and the mass market.
Just joined your channel a few weeks ago - 2nd watch duel video I've watched on your channel and both times I'm just not on your wave length, but I respect your opinion. Having been in aviation and aerospace for 32 years it is totally dumbfounding to me that Sinn wins this. Clearly, you have much, much more experience in watch tech and lore . . . keep up the good work, though I can see we have very, very different evaluative disciplines and analytic skill sets.
I think an aviator on bracelet is as wrong as a diver on leather. Modern aircraft probably have the engine power to lift even a bracelet, but it just doesn't suit the style :-) I often use the slide rule bezel when browsing auctions in foreign currency. It's so handy to see any price converted to Euros on one glance. And of course it works for timing just as well as dive bezels. Just use the red 60 to mark when your pasta will be cooked.
Interesting point about the bracelet. Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV
The leather strap on your Navitimer is sharp! Would love to know where you got it.
The strap is a _RIOS1931 Nature Buffalo_ 22mm in the Cognac colour. They're made by a German company.
