It’s a great list! I’d also include Longines. Few brands in that price range can match their heritage and quality. They truly have something for everyone. I own their Heritage Military and it’s one of my favorites
Longines is a great one!
My wife's favorite is a longines moon phase, great watch and really well done and accurate. I really like that Zulu time but for some reason can't get past the stars, really like the brand though
I’ve just purchased my first Longines and it won’t be my last. I adore it.
Longines also seems to be a brand on the up these days.
Love my Longines (Spirit)
Value retention vs investment is such an important distinction. Always found your take on this subject very refreshing.
🙌🙌🙌 Thank you Jack, I'm glad I am not alone there.
Best regards,
TGV
Modern Tudor is killing it, what Rolex was like in the 1960s. A good tool watch with great specs, expensive, but not obscene.
I feel like I’m in the minority, but I’ve come to really value having a date complication on my daily wear tool watches. And unfortunately Tudor only has date complications in their more bulky offerings.
If they ever made a BB58 sized watch with a date complication, that would be fantastic.
I second you with the date complication, which would be best at 6. Then address the ghastly snowflake, change it for something more elegant.
@@rabtrekker i think the snowflake is what makes tudor stand out and i think its just very classy
@@RedimAmeti check out the Tudor Royal range. Some might say it is too close in DNA to the Rolex Datejust to the point of being a homage, but these fly under the radar and are generally good value second hand. Many sizes available too!
@@Roomfulofgear I have a Royal 38mm and a 1926 39 mm and I really like them, good value at a good price.
Nearly impossible to choose a favorite here from Omega Speedy over Sinn to Grand Seiko. But the secret star of the video is the editing. So many cool references and easter eggs, very tempting to watch again right away.
I’m a Tudor fan and have been for a couple years. I purchased my grail Bb58 a couple weeks ago and have been pleased with the fit on my 6.5 wrist. Love the channel TGV
I would like to nominate the Cartier pasha as an addition for under 5k one can find many variations used like GMT’s and even opera clock dates and many more. Very underrated watch that looks like no other and directly recognisable with great history
I think Nomos and Longines would be great editions to this lineup.
Nomos is nice. I have a Club and really have enjoyed it.
The Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra is my vote for one of the best values out there, especially compared to Rolex alternatives. Lightly used ones below $5k are available. Another great video TGV.
Thank you Joe 👏👏👏 Outstanding choice!
Best regards,
TGV
The SEAMASTER would be my choice 😊
I have an AT small seconds, and it’s amazing. Calling it value is weird, but I understand what you are saying for sure. It’s an awesome piece
Really wish they would figure out a micro adjust for that bracelet, the AT is so versatile though, looks great on the rubber or leather.
@@SIZZO76 seamaster aquaterra
Always refreshing to hear your sugestions and I'm always amazed by your ability to find hidden gems. I was just a bid anoyed by the interruptions but your videos are always top quality.
As said previously, Longines. Definitely should make the list. Tudor is my number one. It surpasses so many pieces at the same price point even if the “Black Bay” line up is getting a redundant. What is funny to me is that everyone pushes for smaller pieces, I actually like the original 41mm “slab sided” originals. The original heritage line will always be iconic yet modern.
Love FC! I also have been looking to add one to my collection. Can’t decide over the Highlife line or a more classic piece. They are exquisite!
Excellent smorgasbord of options, TGV. Thank you, as always. Onward and upward, my friend!
Such a great video. A lot of work, effort, love and passion really goes into your videos. I'm not sure people know just how much time it takes, but you're doing high quality work.
Love to see that you listen to the gentry and make videos to address our questions. Keep up the great work.
Great video TGV, good discussion. Was lucky to purchase a SMP 300 blue dial blue strap combo. Its my dream watch since Goldeneye, first luxury watch and my one and done. Love it, makes me smile everyday. Keep up the content!!
Love that you mentioned Grand Seiko! Best value in luxury watches! Only thing I do hate is the 9S hi beat as when I store it in my watch roll I see it lose about 3-4 seconds a day! So annoying! If I have it flat I think I get about +1-2 a day. After a month I lost a minute 🤬🤬🤬🤬. I love Grand Seiko but have to share my not so pleasant experience because I expected more. Spring drive is great and I am eyeing on a 9A5 movement because just looking at that design it should be a much more stable watch.
I have three springdrives , they gain no more than a couple seconds a month , on the wrist .
Thank you for getting back to what you do best.
What a great time for a new video. Just sat down to relax and a new TGV is even better
My first true luxury watch was one I just received this past Christmas. A Tudor Pelagos in black. It's done what I thought no watch ever could--become the only watch I ever wear anymore. Too much text on the dial? I love it. The matte black ceramic bezel, the amazing crispness of an all-titanium watch, the sharp edges, the endless versatility...it's a watch that scratches all my itches. The fact that it's not an 'iconic' watch you see in lots of movies actually makes it more attractive to me. This isn't James Bond's watch, it's mine.
Really great video, love all the mentioned watches! These videos really gets me in the best watch mood, enjoyable!
I love your committment to Hanhart. Being a flieger watches´ fan myself it´s a pleasure to find out people like you, who consider horological background above trendy hypes or fashion tendencies. My Pioneer MKI is more valuable to me than any Breitling or Omega I may (and do, indeed) own. Thanks for being so honest and transparent, TGV. By the way, that biography of Erich Hartmann is a hidden treasure, as well... 😉
🙌🙌🙌🙌 Thank you my friend, I very much appreciate that. O&U!
Best regards,
TGV
Great list! I spent the past couple of years looking for deals on lesser-known watches. Some of my favorites are the like-new Minase Horizon on a bracelet that I found for $1800 (retail was around $5700), the Clerc Hydroscaph Vancouver Bay edition (new old stock) for $1700, and a used, but mint Corum Romulus Power Reserve for $1300.
Although not exactly luxury Rado, Certina and Longines need more videos made on them, brand awareness in the Western world
Incredibly well made video & a classy and miscellaneous list!
I think a vintage Zenith El Primero might also be a great option in that price range offering a rich history and still being pure class today.
Greetings!
Awesome recommendations TGV! I personally think that the Seiko SLA021J1 is the best luxury dive watch under $5000,-. It has a Zaratsu polished monocoque case, diver's 300m water resistance, and the 8L35 movement. It also a phenomenal modern interpretation of the legendary Seiko 6159 - 7001 high beat 300m diver from 1968. But I got to admit that Tudor is also a great option:)
Grazie per questo video!
One can always learn something new from your videos…
Fantastic job!
Fantastic video. You named most of what I would choose and a few I have never heard of.
Fantastic as always. What a great list.
Another excellent video! Although a little high in price for my consideration, I'm grateful for TGV's opinion of the higher class of watches. Although, I must say that I have been "looking" into Panerai's offerings more these last couple of weeks.
Great list my friend!!!! I would also say Longines! Love their heritage range. Maybe always make their watches 2 to 3 millimetre’s too big but their military history and reinterpretations are sweet!!!! Still want a Big Eye Chrono! Maybe a tad big but nothing compared to that cockpit Altimeter your still wearing HAHAHA! It’s a beauty really!!
Quite enjoyed that - cheers. :)
Wonderful list. Really well curated as usual. I also love the fact that you're not a quartz snob. I have Omega, Breitling, Longines and Tissot, all in quartz. The only auto I have is a Tag Heuer Caliber 7 GMT and I think that might be going soon to be replaced by the iconic Timex GMT.
Damnation. I had just gotten the anthracite dial Max Bill out of my mind! Great episode, good to highlight the "tale of two tudors," too. There are some gems out there for those interested in going beyond the contemporary iteration.
Hi TGV, thanks for the video. Always nice to see you wearing Lacoste. It's been my favorite polo since childhood. Every time you show your vintage Omega Seamaster, I smile, because it reminds me of my 1955 Seamaster which I have loved for the past 8 years. Always nice to see your videos my friend. Have a great week. Best regards, John
Thank you John, you know, that polo and the Seamaster is perhaps as good as it could ever get. You are always a man of great taste, grazie mille John. Un abbraccio!
T.
This is very educational. You've just thrown me even deeper down this enthusiasts rabbit hole 😂
OMEGA will always be #1
Seiko Marine Master 300. Not yet as iconic as its Rolex and Omega counterparts, but destined to future legend status, and currently the best buy in the luxury divers category.
Also, Omega is rumored to release a reissue of the iconic 1960's Seamaster 300 big triangle... much likely over 5k, but an absolute killer.
Roger Moore wore a Seiko tuna Marine master in the James Bond film For your eyes only 1981 so it's definitely iconic. Even the 7C46 movement in the Tuna Marine is LEGENDARY
One of your best! I was among those exclaiming Sinn-my 104 and soon to be purchased U50 are amazing watches. Best - David
The U50 ticks alot of boxes. Haven't pulled the trigger yet though.
Great selections TGV!
Back in March of 2020 you used to work for WatchBoxx and you had a code for $250 off $5K or more on your channel. I used it to get my first Rolex, OP39 blue for $5250 delivered. I always appreciated that great deal. Thank you.
Hi. Just bought my first luxury watch under 5k, but did it before I watched this. Seiko Landmaster Springdrive SBDB005. I LOVE it. So glad I finally spent the money and got what I wanted. So glad I didn't cheap out.
I have no desire for a luxury watch, but I enjoy hearing you discuss them. Most of my watches are G shocks. My hobbies are fishing, shooting, and motorcycles, so I need a tough watch.
I have a Junghans Max Bill for dressy occasions.
Glad to see another cool video!
Great insight, thanks, particularly your opinions on FC and Nomos.
Excellent video, TGV! It comes at a remarkable time - I recently acquired my grail watch, a mid-1970s Porsche Design 7176S by Orfina, which will be my nomination for one of the best iconic watches/brands in this price category. A watch that needs to introduction, from a brand that has continually produced original and phenomenal designs for over 50 years, not to mention the tie-in with the eponymous car marque. It's certainly not to everybody's taste, but for me that's part of the appeal!
I recall you were considering getting one of these design icons, I could not recommend it enough. There is nothing quite like the genuine patina on the lume or the aged, almost gunmetal like PVD finish on the case and bracelet. This one ain't leaving my wrist anytime soon.
Regards, K.
great video as always
Brilliant vid! Very tasteful. I own the FC classic, for dressy special occasions. It is beautiful and unique.
Thx for this one.
I’ve just bought a Longines Conquest V.H.P and I’m in love with it. Just touching £1000 but worth every penny. I’m already eyeing my next one, think it’s going to be the Tissot PRX powermatic80. I think it’ll be the watch I wear on my wedding day which is fast approaching. Love the content TGV, keep’em comin.
Congratulations, hope the wedding goes well!
I’m 18, a when it will be the time, it will be the tudor 1926
Frederique Constant has captivated me early on in my watch collecting journey. One of the greatest value watches in the market for some time now
My first watch was a Seiko Speedmaster from the early 80s and my first luxury watch was a Breitling Chronomat Blackbird. I wish I still had both of them
Incredible list. Definitely for us Enthusiasts. I honestly look for ETA movements in used watches because of the ease of repair or replacement. Cheers.
Great list TGV! You hit all my favorites! 😂 Spero che tutto sta bene! Thanks for sharing!
Great video. I’d definitely include Longines in the list. Btw, since you often refer to various books, it’d be interesting to see a video about your recommendations for books watch collectors should have. :)
Hi T, i bagged a tudor aeronaut GMT with bracelet for under 2k . Its 41mm but only 10.5mm thick, and feels like a true luxury watch. I have the bb41 in s and g , and although its a chronometer, and keeps amazing time, the older tudor is streets ahead in class, and really has the rolex DNA. I also have a old rado original diver, and the construction is just amazing. Tungsten carbide bezel, ss bracelet with a titanium clasp. Rado really are fantastic watches , that know how to combine the best materials. The captain cook range are great value , and rado as a whole are a very underrated brand. Whilst i havent experianced a grand seiko, i have got a sla043, the 62mas, and its got to be bordering on that same level, because its a gorgeous diver . I do have a soft spot now for a panerai, they are toolish , but their design are just so cool. Keep up the good work, youve always had a great passion for this hobby , which makes you the best reviewer ive seen , because your love for this hobby shines through. I dont always agree with your taste , as your more military than me , but i do respect the fantastic effort and research that you do in your work. Maybe you should audition for the bond job ? Look at all those fantastic omegas , you could play with and design , lol. Well maybe not bond, as you are a little short, but you would make a brilliant Q !!! Its not just a pen bond , pay attention !!!
What a surprisingly great list! That GS is just gorgeous and thank you for introducing Hanhart!
Zeppelin is worth a mention
Good evening TGV, that IS a great list you curated here with a lot of potential for future purchases. Personally I'm on the journey towards my next purchase. Let's See what I will end up with. Hanhart is defo on my list. Best regards!
🙌🙌🙌 Hanhart should be on everyone's list!
Thank you my friend, have a great rest of your weekend.
Best regards,
TGV
One that has to be mentioned is the Reverso. Such a iconic and versatile piece.
YESSSSS!!!! I had no idea you could get them under 5k, I am deffo going to look into that, thank you Thomas,
Best regards,
TGV
@@theurbangentry can get them pre owned for very reasonable prices!! Sometimes around 2000 USD.
Whaaaaaat?!?!?! You are going to get me into trouble my friend! 🤣🤣🤣
Don't tell him, he will ruin it for us! 😂 ( remember the geneve microrotor?)
You just added Urban Gentry tax on to the Reverso
Although I will almost never be able to afford a luxury watch, I enjoy watching you talk about them. Only you can say “mind boggling price of only $15,000” and get away with it. I was watching the video and thought to myself, “I can’t believe he hasn’t mentioned Grand Seiko” and Ecco there is was. Great video as always!
Great list TGV.
My first jump into luxury watches in the price range was the Tag Heuer Formula 1 Senna recently released 2021-2022. Great video TGV!
👏👏for the rant!
Great content. I could watch three more hours of this!
Thanks.your Tudor sub is still my favorite
Great job good list
Awesome content! Massive respect and admiration of your job!
May I ask a recommendation where I could find a reliable auction site to buy watches?
Great video and selection. A greeting from Spain. I also found Longines at fault. Great legacy and history with this brand as well as excellent value for money. Thank you very much for your excellent reviews, which I am following with great anticipation.
Hard to argue with any on that list. I would personally have Omega and GS at the top. I would also give a strong honourable mention to the Ball Worldtimer as a competitor to the FC.
With any in and around that price category, I would most certainly go pre-owned, so much value to be had.
absolute banger Gentry
Great list!
I'd pick Omega.
Awesome video, as always!
Love to see a video detailing how you search for a new pre-owned/vintage piece.
Great take on the value concept. I think I agree that when you get up to 5k plus, the brand is a big part of the value. At the 'affordable' end, its much more about tangible values (construction quality, materials etc) for the price where micros and now Chinese brands have caused so much disruption. In my experience so far, these two concepts of value meet at around 2k. Personally I cant see much difference in quality between my Cpt Cook or Aquis and my Seamaster or Superocean both costing a ton more. And I maintain the best 'quality for the money' watch I've ever handled is the Sinn 104. Mine is on the fine link bracelet and every time I wear it the balance between sheer solidity and refinement surprises me.
Take care.
I am a hardcore Seiko guy, but some Chinese brands are getting very good (Artelier Wen comes to mind, but Seagull has some great watches as well).
Great video. Love the intro song. I would like to hear more about Zenith - more specifically the El Primero Sport Chronomaster.
So funny you mention that, I am considering buying one as we speak. I will share more in a future video.
Thank you Chris, great minds obviously 😉🙏
Best regards,
TGV
speaking from personal experience, my first and only luxury piece is the Tudor BB58. I'd recommend that
👏👏👏
Thank you Josh, I don't blame you, pure class all the way.
Best regards,
TGV
I’m with you all the way with the Tudor bb58. Just received mine two weeks ago and take it off my wrist.
Great video! I don't think you can beat Grand Seiko as far as quality and craftsmanship. Not many brands can compete. Cheers!
Great list TGV, as usual. You know, I just can’t get over the feeling that a watch without a date complication does not serve me well. So those options that don’t sport it are automatically out of the list for me.
My first timepiece was a Raymond wail GMT. & I still remains one of my favorite timepieces.
Kudos for giving the Sinn 903 a quick mention; like you I literally bought the Navitimer book last weekend, and after devouring it, came to a simple, albeit not so easy conclusion - surely the Sinn 903 is the logical evolution of the Breitling Navitimer from a design and engineering perspective? The fact that the german engineers behind it have been able to make the Navitimer design truly water resistant with a rating of 10ATM, whilst keeping the size sane at 41mm should mean that the Sinn 903 ought to be celebrated more - but only once I've gotten my hands on one; then let the hype begin!
I also would mention Nomos amd Longines within this bracket but let me add if I may: Breitling Chronomat, I think it has achieved Ikon status, also, I think you can get a Breguet type 20 within or around the 5k mark in the used market
I would always recommend new and vintage Longines watches. I own a Master collection day date and I absolutely love it 👌
Keep up the good work TGV💪
I just bought that gold and steel Santos.
Absolute perfection
TGV your video introduction is the best! I think another introduction to luxury watches in my opinion is the Oris. Cheers!
👏👏👏👏 YESSSSSS, love Oris, thank you John, deffo number 11 after my top 10.
Best regards,
TGV
My 1st luxury watch was a Quartz Omega SMP 300. I still own it & love it.
TVG, I have multiple Omegas and Tudors in my possession. I have finally gotten over the word Seiko in GS. I feel that GS would have had a much easier time if they had gone to the name Credor or something. Long story short, I sold a Bond era Seamaster and a triple date Speedmaster to aquire a new GS sbgm221 gmt and received it yesterday. The workmanship is just stunning. I am firmly convinced that GS has turned the corner and will be a real force to recon with. It is unbelievable what GS has available for so few relative dollars.
Mine was a Tissot. Now, I know this probably isn’t as fancy or anything as some might demand, but both my first recently acquired luxury watches (as I’m new to this) are Tissot. One is the T-classic luxury Powermatic 80 auto with a carbon fiber dial, and the other a Gentleman auto p-80 with an anthracite dial. I did a pretty solid amount of research on them and understood it fairly well for an amateur. What I found pretty amazing during my “studies” was the amount of Omega owners that bought one and said the Tissots kept better time! I mean, it’s not something I’d ever notice at those tolerances 😂 (but I found it interesting). I didn’t expect the world of them for the prices I was paying but I gotta say, these watches are really, really handsome too. The bracelets are finished beautifully and feel very substantial. Both are heavy watches and i really like that too. They don’t have fancy complications, (just the date) but still. I’m pretty thrilled with mine and for the price-points? At Msrp $895 for the classic and $795 for the gentleman? I have two brand new luxury timepieces that look and preform the part WITH an 80 hr power reserve. (The only thing I can think of drawback is to get the 80hrs they drop the 28,800 htz to 24,400 and it gives he seconds hand a bit less smoothness (like 5 or 6 tics a second instead of 8 or 9)? (Sorry, like I said I’m new at this). I’m loving it though! It kills me how much I’ve spent on trendy type fashion watches before I took the time to learn! (Even though id only buy ones marked “Swiss made”) somehow now I don’t think it helped much. Anyway, better late than never! I’m happy to be learning and excited this is my first step in the wider world of horology. I just thought I’d mention my initial choices for examples, being someone that (just did it) ya know? I’m pretty happy with them so far and (i don’t know enough to recommend them long term obviously) but my “off the bat” impression is that they are both gorgeous, extremely well made watches. I almost haven’t even taken my classic off yet! I even slept with it on the first few nights I had it! Lol. 😂Anyway for a less than $1000 dollar foot in the door of luxury watches I do highly suggest taking a look at what Tissot has to offer. (Also I’m really glad i found this channel, it’s exactly what I was looking for in the way of learning and understanding more as I go along. Thank You 🙏!!!!!
loved the GS shoutout with the SBGW 283. I have the SBGW287 Boshu, the burgundy dial. It is a quite a stunner and a total sleeper. Everyone seems to be hype over the classic 231 cream dial or the 283 light blue kishun dial.
Good overview!
Omega 57 is the dream chronograph watch - so incredibly beautiful and comfortable to wear!
Mine was past $6k, a Grand Seiko SBGE277.
That said, i got lucky when i saw it go below $5k($4.3k), i went all in and i dont even care about value retention. It's got everything I've want in a watch and it's one I'm happy to keep for life.
I love your Videos Urban Gentry.
My first luxury I’d say was my Tudor master chronometer,i I’ve had it for almost a year now, I just got a Rolex blue face all steel white sky dweller. I’d say its hard calling it my Tudor a luxury watch not comparing just saying.
Love the vintage Omegas!!!
I actually find vintage Omega designs alot more appealing than modern Omega. Omega Speedmaster Mark 4.5, Mark 3 ,Flight Master, Omega Seamaster big triangle, Soccer ⚽️ time chronograph are awesome 👌 Pie pan Seamasters. Just alot of fascinating pieces
I’d recommend the Tudor BB36 - I love mine - Explorer size and (sort of) looks, but for £2400 - a steal considering what a nice, well engineered, and subtle watch. The Omega Aqua Terra would also be on my list - lovely timepieces. For a real budget watch with a high spec, I’d always recommend the Orient Mako.
I'd suggest the formex essense as an affordable alternative to the omega aquaterra. Aquaterra is a bit overpriced for what it is in my opinion.
Very early on in my watch collecting journey I decided my one and only luxury swiss piece would be the Tudor Black Bay Bronze (it's not financially viable for me to have more). It's different to the rest of their range, an interest piece, not commonly seen and just beautifully done.
Once I've completed my budget watch collecting goals. I will top off my 20 piece collection with the BB Bronze. Great video as always TGV.
I’d pick Omega or Tudor, but all of them are stunning options.
Personally, I love these videos the most, when you talk about “entry level/mid-tier price point” watches like Omega, Cartier, Tudor, Breitling, Glashutte, Blancpain, JLC, Longines, Panerai, etc. I see too many channels that just want to talk about AP, Patek, Rolex, and Vacheron. Too many great watches out there with just as much history, just less “investment potential.” On the other end I’m not too much into Seiko either. Yet. Love your channel TGV. I thank you for these videos.
I’ve never purchased a luxury watch. If I ever do, it’d probably be a Tag Heuer Aquaracer or a Grand Seiko.
Wow nice pieces
My first Big luxury watch was an Oris Aquis, it has a Modern look but still screams luxury diver to me. at that point it was over 3 times the cost of my next most expensive watch. Bought it to mark an important moment in my career and its honestly one of my favorite watches and gets a lot of wrist time. Next big luxury watch will hopefully be an explorer II white dial as that is my attainable grail.
I've been looking at Cartier ever since you mentioned it at Moyers. It's now on my radar.
Haha. This video is gonna make me spend some money. But so MANY choices. Pure Class indeed.❤
