The most underrated chronograph: Blancpain Villaret 1185 & 1180 (8mm - 9mm ultrathin case thickness, vertical clutch in caliber FP1185 & FP 1180, bicompax display, everything outshine Piaget altiplano ultrathin chronograph) Lemania cal. 5100 & 5012 (Equip inside Tutima military chrono to meet German military spec. Build quality is good, high shock tolerance and the best chronograph legibility on the center minute chronograph. Modern center minute chronograph manufacturers are Agenhor, A Lange and Breguet - Marine series, which cost USD20k at least, but Lemania cal. 5100 & 5012 are somewhere USD2k to USD5k)
1) White Speedy 2) Grand Seiko SBGC275 (Spring Drive GMT Chronograph) 3) JLC Reverso Tribute Duoface Calendar 4) Something with glidelock 5) James Bond, because they often help him🤷🏻♂️ 6) Omega Seamster Aqua Terra World timer on blue rubber strap 7) Hamilton Ventura 8) Getting harder and harder… JLC Polaris Geographic? 9) Glashűtte Original Seventies Chronograph Panoramadate
I do like the white dial Speedmaster professional, probably the next on my list to get. Also I think everyone has pretty much given up on going to Rolex to buy a watch, knowing that you have to effectively beg a sales rep to get one. That’s not a luxury experience, it’s cronyism, so I’m glad you don’t cover the whole Rolex retail fiasco in your conversations.
The Omega DeVille Chronoscope is definitely one of the most underrated chronographs. It uses a Frederic Piguet 1185 movement with a 3 level co axial escapement. They can regularly be picked up around 2500 euro!
Swing and a miss on the best rose gold watch. Vacheron Constantin Overseas in rose gold with green dial. Three different models, but head and shoulders above any other rose gold offering.
Best moment of the show? When Balazs starting waxing poetic about the Speedy being a strap monster, and Thomas immediately adjusted his glasses and audibly exhaled out of his nostrils as if to say “here we go again!”
you guys really make excellent vids! Funny, witty, super entertaining and after the vid I feel smarter (more knowledgeable). do a vid (or a few vids) where you don't mention Rolex, Omega or any of the big well known brands...
Best to me is Omega Seamaster 120 deep blue. Best diamond in the bread: Minase 5 windows. Best ever Rolex GMT Vintage and JLC Reverso. Best straps: Artem
Best watch/film collab for me is: Paul Newman, as Eddie Felson, wearing a stainless steel Datejust model in "The Color of Money". That specific ref is such a huge sleeper I think. Classic film, amazing watch ❤
Precista and Newmark also made 6bb chronos for the RAF, The makers became known as the Fab 4. Newmark still make a reissue though it has a mecha-quartz movement
The best watch of 2024, in my opinion, is the Lederer Triple Observatory Chronometer. Its truely a marvel of engineering. It got a avarage of +0.5 seconds a day in 5 positions across all tests!
I like the PRX too. Recently, I saw and tried the Italian Venezianico Arsenale. I found it mor beautiful, thinner and creative too. Also cheaper. Thanks

Hanhart definitely most underrated Chronograph. Another Steve McQueen watch from the ultimate cool.

Love that Chrono24 has gotten Matthew McConaughey on board to host!

Agreed! Why pay a fortune for the Rolex/AD gift of imposter-syndrome when you can get it for free.
Gentlemen, Terrific educational video. My two favorites are Omega Aqua Terra, black dial 38mm and the new Tudor Black Bay GMT. Keep up the great work!
Guys, do you really think a white dial Speedmaster is something worthy of Watch of the Year? Come on!
This blue-shirt guy would never be a guest of mine for a chat, let alone for a conversation about watches 😅

Tissot PRX Carbon is the best daily use watch a clear winner among all these watches, worth the price & worth adding in to your watch collection
I thoroughly enjoy these episodes. Thanks so much for taking the time to do them and to edit them for our pleasure. We appreciate it.
Swing and a miss on the best rose gold watch. Vacheron Constantin Overseas in rose gold with green dial. Three different models, but head and shoulders above any other rose gold offering.
Love the questions and the timepieces you are recommending.
Great work, Guys! You’ve got a nice dynamic together and made great choices.

Best rose gold piece def is
IWC Portugieser w the grey dial!!
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

The best watch and the best bracelet are nothing without you both!
Robert Redford. Two films. Two great watches. Seiko SKX009 (All is Lost) and Rolex Red Sub (All the Presidents men).
Love your videos!!! Thanks for this!
Precista and Newmark also made 6bb chronos for the RAF, The makers became known as the Fab 4. Newmark still make a reissue though it has a mecha-quartz movement
Tried on one of the Zenith Chronos last year. Beautiful watch. Great size (smaller than expected). Too expensive.
OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra black lacquer dial (any size) gets my vote for best watch. The last word in ‘one and done’!
21:40 Breguet Type 20/XX, especially the references 3820 and 3800

Studio Under0og makes a chronograph that's pretty underrrated.
That moment when they mention your underrated target meaning it will now become sought after 😢
best rose gold for me is the Patek Calatrava -- what a watch
Watching this whilst my £105 Timex Expedition solar 36mm lays upon my wrist performing the one job it was made to do and no more.
Booked ended with the Carbon PRX and the Zenith Dark Shadow.
George Clooney in "The American" wearing a Speedmaster.
Speedmaster Racing is the best big watch.
What's the watch that Thomas is wearing?
It’s the collaboration between Wind Vintage and True North Collections
What watch is the host on the left wearing ?
my strap monster is the sinn 556 i
Hanhart ❤️
Watch in a Movie?
Dr Strange JLC
PRX is so overdone. Mido is way better for the pricepoint and originality!
Cool apartment …or is it an office?
Thumbs down after that heart hands. 😂
Best Rolex bracelet?, must be the "JB Champion" oval link Jubilee.
Good one!
❤
That guest is boring AF and is devoid of personality, please get someone with a personally on, like adrian barker
Yaoundé opinion is wrong
Adrian Barker?? Get out of here Balasz is great
White speedy is the best release of 2024
