Maybe if you’re a prince and have lots of dough. For me i will work my whole life set aside a few bucks to be able to afford my dream watch. Zenith El Primero.
IndeedBeni GS are beautiful to look at, too bad mine was the least reliable watch I’ve ever owned. I had the spring drive for two years, it went to Japan twice and stayed there for over two months each time. The second time was around the two year mark and GS told me they will service the watch this last time for free but this watch requires an $880 service every two years and that’s why it was running fast. I own an aquanaut, Submariner, nomos, seamaster and A. Lange and none of those watches have required over a $600 service and they all were around 5-7 year service intervals. They all also came back from the manufacturer looking like new again, GS I was lucky it came back working the way it should, no polishing nothing. Needless to say that watch landed at my AD from Japan and was promptly traded in. Never again a spring drive GS for me.
@@Peter-tc3ep man that sucks to hear, I’ve heard stories of the spring drive being very reliable, I have one so I’m hoping yours was a one off bad watch
I honestly love this channel so much, it makes me fall in love with watches all over again everytime I watch a video. It's one of those things that I absolutely adore in my life, and long may it continue!!! I love and appreciate all your hard work and I never miss a video by more than an hour!
I’ve searched high & low on the price scale as well as complications only to find my ‘perfect’ watch is the JLC Geoohysic 1958 limited edition.. It checks all the boxes for me and just makes me smile every time I wear it!
I was torn between a Grand Seiko or a Cartier Santos; I went with the Santos - even though the Grand Seiko looked amazing and had everything I love. Cartier won me over with the option to have both a Steel bracelet and a Strap; with the ease of use strap change technology.
Wow, Omega should have not allowed that moronic graphic art on the display back, at least they didn't use stupid screws to hold it on. I love the watch otherwise and the Seiko GS GMT too, at least that's not a spring-drive, I hate those.
@@tomasinacovell4293 Agreed on the Omega display part, if only they would do it manual, closed caseback and by that cutting at least 3mm of thickness.... wow
I spent too much money trying finding the perfect watch. Only to find out that the regular Speedmaster Professional was the "everyday" watch that fit me best. This is after a decade of stubbornly trying not to buy a Speedie.
Funny, cause I am exactly at that stage resisting stubbornly buying a speedy. I do love it but can’t bring myself to owning something so popular. On the other hand it is so popular for a reason. For many reasons actually... :-)
It took me almost a year and upwards of 50 views (thanks to that GS being my grail watch) to actually figure out that Omega logo is etched (or maybe laser engraved?) bang in the middle of the crystal. Such a nice detail that is!
I really love all options presented. I cannot decide which one is the best. I have a GS Spring Drive, an Omega but I don’t have JLC yet. So imagine which one is next in my list! Great video as usual.
@@londonsfynest not for me though, I often wear a watch for multiple weeks, so it comes in handy at the weekend when I put it down for a weekend watch, and know whether it need to be wound to stay alive until Monday ^^
Either one is "The Perfect Watch", definitely as you said "a gentleman's timepiece", three absolutely beautiful watches, thank you very much, great video
That Omega 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀 I’ve had a look at the sub seconds one. I would never get bored at looking at it or owning it. That makes it the perfect watch👍🏼
Amazing video showcasing all these watches. One of my favorite ones so far. Absolutely love GS more so now and would love to add that to my collection.
I think the perfect one for me would be the Citizen Chronomaster CTQ57-0955. Yes, a Citizen. But it's everything I'm after (design, movement and finishing-wise) and no one else offers anything like it. Now, it's far from the norm having an H.A.Q. as a grail. It also limits the competition to very little. If I however were to find the perfect automatic, there would indeed be too much to choose from ;)
Fantastic video as always! You guys must have read my mind because I have been on the hunt for a dress watch for a solid year and these are the three brands at the top of my list. I completely agree that Omega made a fantastic watch until you flipped it around. I cannot stand that they have no restraint with unnecessary crap like the clip art boat and airplane on the back. I think I'm down to JLC and Grand Seiko and I don't think there is a wrong answer. In your video I'd give the slight nod to JLC only after you showed the wrist shots at the end.
Macht, you are absolutely correct. I bought my first GS a month ago, a limited Edition Blizzard dial GMT. I own 5 other very high end (3 Rolex, AP Royal Oak (stunning) and the new blue dial moonphase Longines (I had no real budget limitations and yet chose the Longines because the blue dial is far more beautiful than a JLC or the Glashutte Original). I love all of my watches, but my goodness, the Grand Seiko is an entirely different story. It is by far not only my most beautiful watch, but the Spring Drive movement is mesmerizing. I won't bore you but look it up. Can tell you no other watch maker (not Patek, not Vacheron, not Rolex) could copy it. It took nearly 2 decades for GS to create and perfect it. Oh, and it's accurate to minimum of 15 secs per month. Wanted to share this with you. One side note: I get more unsolicited comments from people on this watch saying how stunning it is. Sadly, I never, ever get that with my new Rolex Sky Dweller (now as hard to get as the Ceramic Daytona Panda). Oh well!
This is a fantastic video, I actually own an original 1953 Omega Seamaster of exactly the same style as the first watch, I've agonised over that Grand Seiko and I'm currently umming and ahhing over a Jaeger Lecoultre (albeit a Reverso) - you hit the nail on the head for me.
Damn... I honestly dont know which i would pick... I love the simple nature of the Omega and its chunky case. I love the complex elegant look of the JLC and the Grand Seiko ... its just so good looking...
Exceptional narration of some very desirable watches. Thank you!!! Although I love Omega, the JLC effortlessly found it's way in my list of watches to have. After watching your first video, I've watched all your videos right from the beginning and it's been a delight to see how each video has just gotten better. Hope to see many many more... On another note, I've been looking to buy a watch for the ladies of the house but can't seem to find real inspiration. Maybe do a video on that sometime soon?
Good video. There are a lot of watches that I admire, but don't seriously desire. For me, enjoying a watch means wearing the watch and if I'm wearing a watch, I don't want to have to baby it. I won't abuse it, but if I bump against a door frame or whatever, I don't want to be concerned that I gouged it. Likewise, if it gets wet, I don't want to be worried about that either. I have a nice old (40 years old) quartz Seiko dive watch that serves that purpose well and am saving for a Sinn U2-S. For me, that is sort of my perfect watch. A GMT watch with a dive time bezel (no need for a chronograph), basically as scratch proof as it can get and still be steel, and water resistant to a depth that would turn a Submariner into a pancake (not that I will ever test that). It's not a dress watch, can't even pretend to be a dress watch, and that's great because I never have cause to wear a dress watch. It certainly wouldn't be a lot of people's perfect watch simply because of the size. I have very large wrists so no issue there. I like what you said about Grand Seiko. They are finished to perfection, but it's kind of a sterile perfection and there's a certain 'sameness' about many of the models.
Agree with the comments about The Grand Seiko. What a treat - perhaps it's a reflection of how accustomed we are to Omega and complicated watches that when GS drop that in our laps, we are impressed. Doing simple things very, very well is a lot safer than 'creeping excellence'. Just ask a Ferrari driver when they're holding everyone up trying to drive off a cross-channel ferry...
For me it was the Omega Seamaster Professional 225450, I saved for 7 years to get it. Each time I look at it I know it is the perfect one for me, still.
If I were in the market for a dress watch (business formal is not as much of a requirement for me as it once was) these three would be high on my list.
As of now my perfect watch is the aquanaut in green and white gold but the watch I wear daily is the newer seamaster 300m in black and gold on a rubber strap. It used to be my Anniversary Submariner but I travel a bunch and it required too many visits to my AD for demagnetizing. Got to love modern watches and the one silicon parts that saves the day. Rolex it’s almost 2020 please add some protection against magnets.
Got few Omegas and would have gone for the brand. But from these 3 it would have been definitely the G'Seiko. Just wondering what are the prices, without searching the net for answers.
The omega is best for value.. The GS is a technical look watch... The JLC has heart and soul.. I prefer a 3 hand simple watch with a bracelet. The 36mm OP is the perfect watch, timeless design that you be happy wearing the rest of your days.
I honestly think this is why the Submariner is so popular. You can wear it in any environment from swimming to sports and then go out for diner at a nice restaurant or take a meeting knowing the name has the cachet to give it a pass.

We know you want more watches…. click here: linktr.ee/watchfinder
I suppose between these 3 the JLC is the obvious choice, but I have a soft spot for that Grand Seiko.
Of these 3, my pick would be the Grand Seiko. Absolutely love that brand.
If you go Grand Seiko, gotta get Spring Drive!!!
@@ginzo666 definitely! I wanna snowflake and the titanium diver badly!
For many of us, the perfect watch will always be "the next one".
So true!
Keep telling myself that...I need to stop the madness..haha!
And the one after that !
Damn true :)
Maybe if you’re a prince and have lots of dough. For me i will work my whole life set aside a few bucks to be able to afford my dream watch. Zenith El Primero.
All of these are beautiful in silver. The more I see JLCs though, the more I appreciate their quiet elegance.
Man, your video quality is so good. It really makes me appreciate these watches
Now you _say_ that the Grand Seiko doesn't appear to be special, yet I let out an audible 'phwoah' when I saw it...

@@noka5730 yeah same here. Hope they’ve figured out what and addressed it.
I'm falling for Grand Seiko every day a little bit more, it's just perfect.
That Grand Seiko is a masterpiece of a watch. That dial and finishing is just superb. And that LeCoultre is beautiful. Great video like always
the grand seiko needs a bit more positive review, looks stunning to me
The GS diamater triggers something inside me. It's really good.
That GS has been on my list for the longest time
This reminds how much I love the look of Grand Seiko when it doesn't have the power reserve dial.
Wow 3 incredible watches 👍👍.
The macro of the GS is just out of this world!!!

Raymond Redington out of curiosity, do you know the egyptian actor you put as a profile picture?
@@MohammedKhaledElsheikh yeah
That Grand Seiko is really hitting a sweet spot...
I spent too much money trying finding the perfect watch. Only to find out that the regular Speedmaster Professional was the "everyday" watch that fit me best. This is after a decade of stubbornly trying not to buy a Speedie.
slap a brown strap on it and you're good to go!
Great story
Come. join us. Speedy is love. speedy is life.
Funny, cause I am exactly at that stage resisting stubbornly buying a speedy. I do love it but can’t bring myself to owning something so popular. On the other hand it is so popular for a reason. For many reasons actually... :-)
The key to a One Watch is to get one that suits a large array of straps. Few beat the Speedmaster in that department.
It took me almost a year and upwards of 50 views (thanks to that GS being my grail watch) to actually figure out that Omega logo is etched (or maybe laser engraved?) bang in the middle of the crystal. Such a nice detail that is!
I really love all options presented. I cannot decide which one is the best. I have a GS Spring Drive, an Omega but I don’t have JLC yet. So imagine which one is next in my list! Great video as usual.
The back of the Omega makes me weep.
Ruined,
Destroyed the back of the watch
Such a shame as it ruins a good looking watch.
@@rzezniqq I thinks it's the almost perfect blend of vintage elegance and modern technology. If they had just left the open caseback plain...
Makes me almost want to break the crystal back and get Omega to install one without the stupid logo. Good idea maybe?
I'm a Omega collector but choosing between the 3 watches is no dilemma that LeCoultre is out this world
So true, beside, a GMT complication is not as useful as a power reserve imo
@@Repiiv88 always found power reserves on automatic watches a bit pointless to be honest
@@londonsfynest not for me though, I often wear a watch for multiple weeks, so it comes in handy at the weekend when I put it down for a weekend watch, and know whether it need to be wound to stay alive until Monday ^^
@@londonsfynest And since I work an office job with little to non physical activities during a day, my automatic watches are hardly wound on its own
I think that the 'Grand Maison' products are far and beyond.
I've had the original Seamaster from the early 60's the reissue is based on since 1992. Hasn't missed a beat.
Either one is "The Perfect Watch", definitely as you said "a gentleman's timepiece", three absolutely beautiful watches, thank you very much, great video
It's a good day when watchfinder releases a new video.
I love the GS
That Omega 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀 I’ve had a look at the sub seconds one. I would never get bored at looking at it or owning it. That makes it the perfect watch👍🏼
Amazing video showcasing all these watches. One of my favorite ones so far. Absolutely love GS more so now and would love to add that to my collection.
There are more imperfections on the JLC than the GS. But that Omega is the business.
Three beautiful watches, nothing needs adding.
I think the perfect one for me would be the Citizen Chronomaster CTQ57-0955. Yes, a Citizen. But it's everything I'm after (design, movement and finishing-wise) and no one else offers anything like it.

Grand seiko GMTs are awesome. I will be happy with my 011 for now however
That Grand Seiko is gorgeous! Love the channel and can't wait till the next vid!

Feynman981 dumbass comment. GS is a handmade watch, Zaratsu polishes and handmade dial. Much nicer than the JLC. You know nothing.

Love your channel! Can you please review Grand Seiko Godzilla? Thanks
It is the punch in the stomach you feel each time you look at your watch and wonder how beautiful it is that makes the chase worth it
Love your vlogs well written and delivered......and so relaxing.
I would like to see a review of the Grand Seiko sbge201.
And .... And the TagHeuer Link.
Thanks.
Really like the Seamaster. I like the chunky case with lumed hands and pips combined with classic styling. Great finishing too.
Grand Seiko’s applied marker’s finishing is near perfection.
Omega has been outclassed for so long it is sad.
I think that I found it. The Seamaster looks so appealing to me
Can you do a video on Gruen watch co?
As always great video.
I have the blue face Reserve de Marche and is simply amazing...
People always wax lyrical about the finishing on GS dials... but my god, this video proves them all right.
Exquisite video as per. Just love the filming of the second hand on the Omega reflecting the logo from the glass 👌
I always look forward to your videos and you never disappoint. You have a way with words and always words worth listening to.
love the content as usual, can we get a video on ceramic watches please
My God, the Grand Seiko a watch to die for.
It's all about the one that you can't take your eyes off, for me it's Jaquet Droz Grand Seconde, Breitling Navitimer, HMT Janata Devanagri.
21 years with my Omega Brosnan SMP automatic. I'm good.
How often did you get it serviced?
It is the endless quest for perfection in these pieces of wrist art that we can call are own.... something which we can not find inside ourselves.

Three simply stunning watches, I would be happy with just one of these spectacular timepieces but which one.........
That omega but small seconds version is amazing.
The Oemga looks a great watch, however, it doesn’t appear to feature on the Omega website!
i think the longines hour angle is a fantastic looking watch with a story to match
Good to see Grand Seiko bother to polish the underneath area of Second hand.
I love those watches, but why do companies keep printing on the sapphire display backs so you can't see the full detail of the movement?
For me it was the Omega Seamaster Professional 225450, I saved for 7 years to get it. Each time I look at it I know it is the perfect one for me, still.

Love your videos. One question that's been troubling me. Why are all the watches set to 10:10?! What's the history of this specific time?
As of now my perfect watch is the aquanaut in green and white gold but the watch I wear daily is the newer seamaster 300m in black and gold on a rubber strap. It used to be my Anniversary Submariner but I travel a bunch and it required too many visits to my AD for demagnetizing. Got to love modern watches and the one silicon parts that saves the day. Rolex it’s almost 2020 please add some protection against magnets.
You know it's a good day when Watchfinder uploads a video.
The GS SBGJ217 would be perfect but for the 3ATM water resistance.
Power reserve on the JLC kills it for me
These watches are becoming a true buying and keeping objective!!!
Got few Omegas and would have gone for the brand. But from these 3 it would have been definitely the G'Seiko. Just wondering what are the prices, without searching the net for answers.
I want you to review the baume and mercier Clifton with the in house movement with a 5 day power reserve and chronometer certification. For $2,990 usd
