So your not going into detail about the B05 movement?
Can you go over the B line? :)
Breitling fan, Super Avenger owner
As a reformed collector, my advice is to buy ONE very good watch and keep it forever. Get something that you'll wear every day for the next 20 years, something that expresses your character during business and pleasure. I believe that a good watch gets better with age, and over time it becomes at one with its owner. With every scratch, dent and ding it will become unique. People will expect to see you wearing your watch, it will become part of who you are. When you get old, hand it down to your kids as it will remind them of you.
That's it!
Great advice!
Which one watch do you own may I ask out of curiosity?
Best possible advice one could give.
It’ll never be enough, no matter what it is (watches, automobiles, gold coins, et cetera); a human flaw. Less can be more. We only get so much time, don’t waste your life chasing material.
Can't agree more. Make sure you really love this watch before you pay for it and never believe a word “alternative”
1-Unnecessary water resistance
2-Vintage pieces
3-Buying purely because of specs even though you don't like it
4-Buying something just because you have money
5-Buying something you can't afford
Solid advice
maximoplf Appreciate it mate!
What's wrong with vintage pieces?
maximoplf this was a dumb video, in that it listed 5 features or reasons to NOT buy, but didn’t list the 5 in the title... click baited me successfully - that’s frustrating.
@@richasay9077 I think it was a good and very self-explanatory video. I can relate to some of these, as 3 (buying a watch I don't totally like it, but because it has a nice in-house movement and other specs) and 4 (buying something that costs exactly how much I have burning in my pocket).
That kinda applies to everything.
"planning a life of misery all for the benefit of that watch on your wrist" this line blew my mind...
It needs to hurt!
True , it needs to hurt less lol , be patient and save more , then you will enjoy ur watch more
That was a stone in archieluxury garden))
Buyer's regret. The most painful part of any hobby. :(
Indeed. But it is also part of the journey and knowledge of horology. I still regret paying almost £5K for a Baume & Mercier Capeland. Thank God I had and still have the privilage of not liking it, and still maintain a good economy.
Isse Al O that's a beautiful watch though, my dad is a watchmaker there and we want to thank you for supporting the business.
How I felt about my DateJust. I wanted to love it, but my GMT gets all the wrist time.
I think it's best to not lookup prices after you bought the watch. Otherwise you end up crying because the watch is sold online for £1.5k less like with my Zenith El Primero
Buy cheap quartz knock-offs of the watches you covet, and try them on for a while. Sometimes the watch you thought you wanted just doesn't work on your wrist.
If a salesman is trying to get you to buy a certain watch, its because its hard to sell it.... avoid.
Or it may be a returned stock....
@@PointNemo9 How can you tell if a watch has been returned? Are they allowed to sell it again as if it were new?
Or he's getting a hefty margin, making the watch not worth the price.
Matt McLoughlin True!
That will be richard mille dealership
I would say avoid anything that you can't pay cash for. Never finance your hobbies.
Unless its a car
Philip J well said.
Depends on the credit rate.
Unless you're using a credit card with an auto-payment plan set up to pay off the entire balance every billing cycle. That way it forces you to have the same financial discipline as buying with cash, only with the added bonus of earning points towards various rewards. I get the perks and the 830 FICO score, and banks never make one penny of profit off of me.
PopBubbleWrappable that is a discipline 95% of people do NoT have
The slippery slope of looking at an item just out of your reach, then looking at other items in that same reach; brilliantly stated.
Chad R Moving the goal posts 😉
Interesting idea
That's what happened to me only it was when I was looking around for a wife. :-(
I lost it when he said "u really dont require 300m unless your going to bother the tiTaNic"😂😂😂
A bigger TV to counter fading eyesight. LOL
@@MPD90 I agree, the lowest depth rating I'd take swimming is 100m. I wear an SKX more than anything else, but I appreciate its indestructibility, and go diving now and then.
@@MPD90 Yes, we do. : )
I mostly agree with your points however, I don't like Quartz watches just because of the fact that I've had watches broken by what I assume is incompetent watch makers who didn't check the seals properly after replacing a battery (I live in the third world).
Automatics (or even better, solar) makes that issue go away for 10 years or so, and stand up to the occasional seawater and hard drive handling I might put them through.
I'm a hydraulic engineer and I can tell you every 10m of water depth equals to 1 bar of pressure. I keep this principle in mind to design hot and cold water systems for high end high rise hotels and service apartments. Many watch people will said that the watch depth rating only accounts for static pressure and not dynamic pressure. But let me assure you the dynamic pressure is negligible for divers even if the diver is swimming at a very high velocity.
Example, a diver is swimming horizontally with a velocity of 108 km/hour (30m/s) at a 30m depth of water with the help of propeller.
Static pressure = 3 bar at a 30m depth
Dynamic pressure = ((density of water x velocity)^2)/2
= ((1000 x 30)^2)/2
= 450,000 N/m^2
= 0.0045 bar.
Total pressure exerted experienced by the diver = 3.0045 bar. From this example we can observe that even if the diver is swimming at a high velocity with the help of a vehicle, the dynamic pressure gain is very little.
@@MPD90 OK, fine. But you know what I mean.
As Jay-Z said, you can't afford something unless you can buy it twice.
Living life according to some cRAPPER quotes 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@@ZENSIBLE cRAPPER now worth $900 million
@Certabonun certamen lol tell me the story of a prostitute who was smart enough to turn singles into $900 million. Who don't become that rich by simply releasing some songs.
@Vlad Tepes just came back to say that ghetto trash is now officially a billionaire.I wonder how much crack he had to sell to get there 🤔
@Vlad Tepes Is he still a drug dealer? No! He was born in that environment and did what most of the people around him were doing but he turned around, starterd a career in music, built a record label and many other legitimate businesses so get off your fucking high horse and appreciate the life of someone who came right from the bottom. The only reason you know about him selling crack tp his mom is because he told us, he's not proud of it and now has a very good relationship with her. Don't try and pretend like any of the successful businessman are the monks or the second incarnation of Jesus Christ!
Do not buy a watch purely based on the fact that other people are buying it, and vice versa for not buying one.
True, hanging out on Timezone made me fall in love with the SS Daytona. Ordered one and three years later got the call. That was 2008. Wore the watch three times, not a scratch on it. It wears a lot smaller than I thought it would. Love looking at it in it’s box but probably sell it one of these days. Same with the Green Sub I got in 2006. What was I thinking? Can’t wear a green watch most of the time. Kermit’s also going to go one of these days. My GMT’s the only watch that’s really been on my wrist 24/7 for the last 20 years. Really wanted it for the right reasons. Looks, practicality and it makes me smile. The other two I bought for the wrong reasons. They’ve now also appreciated to a point where I’m not comfortable wearing them anymore.
That's why I'll never buy Rolex. I'd only buy it just to say I have one and that's not a good enough reason
accepting that i'm a bit of a hipster has been difficult but the 116520 daytona (black dial) is really the one for me. I hate how it's been overhyped and everyone wants a ss daytona and i just appreciate the watch for what it is, the hype has actually made me like it less but i have to see through that cause i know that's the watch for me
@@AriesUmbra Yup. My problem too. 116500ln White Dial
I own a Casio quartz divers watch that I purchased whilst I was in Singapore in 1985. After many battery changes, replacement wrist bands, scratches that adorn on the bezel, it's still working very well, and I still wear it every day. To me, it's a classic!
That omega is really, really beautiful. The signs and marks of surviving years and still be up and running makes it truly desirable.
Check out the service price before buying a complicated watch. A good rule of thumb is the more complicated the watch the more you will pay. I have an iwc Portuguese perpetual calendar and just had a 5 year service which cost me north of a thousand pounds.
avoid vincero watches FOR SURE.
And MVMT
Such an irritating company.
Don't forget about Daniel Wellington!
Or Philippe loretto or what ever they are called, pop up on my time line all over the place
plus any clothing brand
Avoid buying watches as an investment
lol
If you live in Manchester, 300 metres is still not enough. 😁⛈☔️
Adrian Drummond-Hill or England at that
If you live in Florida 300 metres is still not enough
Manchester is for pussies, if you want to be rained on 365 days a year you need to move to one of those little rural villages half way up the Pennines.
The shite is that deep over there?
For me - one of the best things to do to detract from the allure of Holy Grail watches way outside my price range has been to look at cheap homages watches with the same design. For example I used to want a Piaget - but as soon as I saw a chinese model with the same design, I realized that I didn't really care much for it, it was just something about the allure of the price itself, and the luxury vibe, that made me drool.
And for me - that's not a bad thing. I've realized that I'm a sucker for luxury, but when it comes down to it - I don't really care about heritage or brands, I just want something that looks good. And now I'm just as proud to wear my favorite inexpensive watches as I would be with an expensive watch.
May I suggest looking at one of a kind marriage watches. Some of them are stunning and under $1000. Here is one of my piece. This one was only $1300. And it is unique cause they never make two exactly the same. ruclips.net/video/x_u4KWk0bxE/видео.html
I have that exact feeling looking at a Patek Phillip Nautilus and most of their other sport watches. Meticulous craftsmanship on the watch finishing but I find the design god awfull sixties retro.
i don't usually comment but man...these videos are close to perfection. i can only say "i am looking forward to the next videos". Great work!
@ learn to spell you cretin
Working hard, earning multiple degrees, and owning your own business, for me was the reason I purchased a new Omega Speedy. Even though I have to wind it every other day, has never ONCE, made me regret it. Even after 15 years! It’s the manual winding that makes me think of all the hard work, literally back breaking, labor, sleepless nights, years of hard manual, and emotional labor I had to do, that enabled me to own my first timepiece, is what I love about my first of many valuable watches!
You hit the big one--patience. I'm working diligently to avoid instant gratification regarding my hobbies. Whenever I've taken some calm breaths for a reality check, I've benefited greatly.
Nice advice I've been wearing my Daytona 2 tone steel dial for 17 years now, it's doubled in value not that it matters as I don't plan on selling it.
another great video, the only reason why i sleep late on fridays in my country is to catch your vids!
got myself a 64' pie pan but the power reserve is less than half of what it was brand new but man it is absolutely gorgeous.
derpinated - Congrats man, that pie pan is beautiful! I jut picket up an Omega Speedy date myself, but I got 3 watches on my radar: ruclips.net/video/g2PwgZ3k2XU/видео.html
I wanted to buy a watch for my wedding that doesn't scratch and looks new for years. I ended up buying the Rado hyperchrome ceramic. Been 5 years, still looks like new.
Great review very insightful.
I came into a shop to look at a Tudor Black Bay 58 than looked at Rolex Date Just, than now a Yacht Master Platinum.... hmmm
You can buy a very good automatic Orient for dirt cheap with in-house movement, sapphire glass, steel, glass back, etc.
Of course you can that. Then you have a watch from orient, not bad at all. I own some watches of this bran. But you can't compare it with a Rolex, IWC, Lange. You can be lucky to buy a watch vorm Orient and the movement works accurat. Or not. Of you are unlucky, as I am with my Orient Triton- the movement is crap and lose every day 40 to 60 seconds. So you can live with it or bring your brand new watch to a watch maker who tries to regulate the watch, with no guarantee that the watch runs well after you paid around 50 bucks.
@@erichg.6235 Yet you check your phone just to verify how accurate your Rolex is! The accuracy argument is simply no longer relevant but If you really want a watch to be accurate and reliable you should buy quartz.
This is cracking me up. It’s like the car salesman saying, “Well, yes, this model has much more power and better handling, and the interior is so luxurious it’ll be like resting in your study. You might not want to live with it, though, because you’ll never want to drive your wife’s car again. And you’d tie up cash that could be spent on a new dishwasher or something. No, no sir, I think this car isn’t for you.”
Buyer: “STFU and gimme that car!”
Love this one! A logical analysis of what goes on in my subconscious or not necessarily prepared to admit even if I’m aware!
Keep up the good work with these types of videos too as well as the reviews!
That, “it’s only 10% more....it’s only 10% more” gets me every time. I went through a three-year journey from TAG, to Oris, to Omega, to Panerai before settling on a GMT ii BLNR. Once I had my grail I went back and got the others.
It is difficult to find parts for vintage watches. Beautiful Breitling Bentley with rotor in the shape of a wheel in the display case back.
My rule is to not by a Rolex as my first watch. And to enjoy the looking and learning progress.
My rule is to never buy a rolex, since they all look boring. Reliable, but thats it. You only buy a rolex because it's a well known brand to brag and flaunt in front of people. Breitling for me.
About water depth, some people want bragging rights of 10,000 ft water proof, while others believe 1000ft advertised gets you 10ft effective, and 10ft advertised gets you nothing.
Winding my watch up is the only physical exercise I get!
Atheist Orphan hahaha hahaha! 🤣
Christ above I spat my drink out!
That BB 58 tickles my boxes !!!!
Warms the cockles of your heart you mean
It's a honey, no doubt. A real stunner.
Great video & you nailed it! I've been at this for awhile and I can attest to each of these buyer's regrets.
Excellent video with some very good advice. I have some simple benchmarks that I apply when it comes to buying a new watch. 1/ The watch is to give me pleasure, what anyone else thinks of it is irrelevant, if YOU like it then that is the ONLY opinion that matters.the only person you have to justify the cost to is yourself! My second benchmark is very important to my, as I have got only my close up eyesight is not what it was. A easy to read display is vital. Any watch that has so much clutter on the dial that you have to stare at the watch face for ages to tell the time is off the list from the start, I guess that's why I tend to go for Divers or Fliegers. Keep up the excellent work, happy new year to you and all those how watch your videos
I had a good giggle when he said: "You'll barely need 30m!" If I had an AP, I would always take it off before I wash my hands!!!
I have an AP and its its not the water resistance i worry about but the "scratch magnet" beautiful brushed/polished case and shocking service costs
@@bombazine2 shocking service costs? I have a Royal Oak and its not a scratch magnet and the service is reasonable! Dont know what all those AP owners do to their watches haha
Daniel Mourad why do you service it so often
👍🏽 A great continuation of the original! Thanks!
This is a great video. I am currently struggling with two of these issues. Thank you.
what are your camera settings when you do close-up shots of the watches? great video by the way :)
Almost 300k subscribers keep going guys!!Are we ever going to find out who's the man behind those hand's and that voice?
Iv got a speed master professional but new and it’s really nice!
Good points. Your info is practical for any purchase and a welcomed voice of reason.
Your words and the way you talk makes these masterpieces even more grand. You could sell air if you wanted. Love your videos!
Any substitute or stepping stone watch is also to be avoided ! There simply are not any substitutes for The Real Thing ! But that all boils down to patience, I suppose !
Great video, again ! Both in narrative and, even more, in visual part !
I think water resistance of more than 30m/50m is necessary for peace of mind if you want to be wearing it in the shower etc - a power shower can be 80m+ of pressure. Personally I wouldn't go swimming in anything less than 100m, my Swiss watch anyway
The best part of your VDO is your story. Each of your words has spoken to my brain. It's crazy.
Brilliant video Sir ... love your videos ... specially the Seiko ones make me cry with tears of joy and happiness ...!
A great example is the first “real” watch I owned. My father gave me a luminox navy seal when I was 13 yrs old. I wore it everyday and grew up around the water. I wore that swimming, free diving etc... and had it on my wrist when I got scuba certified at 17. It has a push in crown. That watch has survived everything and is not a dive watch but has survived at least 30-40 dives to 30-90 ft.
I've definately caught myself stretching, browsing way to expensive pieces. Starting with a Nomos and ended up in the FP Journe and A. Lange aile.
mmmmhhhh... F.P.Journe... gold movements.... excellent taste. *drools*
ExON Norway I know the feeling 😉
I'm on my 10th cheap casio in barely 6 month after I caught the casio bug with my first casio CA53W-1 'marty mcfly back to the future' watch
*plz send help*
Don’t know what’s more impressive, the detail on that Omega Speedmaster or the macro videography that shows it so clearly.
Thanks, very useful. Although I’ve never considered 300 meters waterproof or vintage watch.
I love hand wound pieces. Rather than being a chore, I view it as a great way to bond with the watch and admire it. That said, I always have an automatic handy for the times that I need to head out in a rush.
Your 5th point is exactly me! I was looking for just a watch, then a decent watch, then a good-looking watch, then a respectable branded watch, and then the next thing I know, I'm considering a few watches that cost about 5 times my initial budget... Thanks for your advice. I think I need to calm down and go back to where I started.
Your videos are amazing. Thanks for all the knowledge and advice you give us.
I don't even wear my diver under the shower but it's good to know that i could.
I heard once that steam in a shower is bad for watches, even very waterproof ones.
LibrarianRobert yeah that’s because steam molecules (gas) are actually smaller than water (liquid) and can get inside your case. also hot water wears out seals faster than cold water
Take mine off for washing dishes 🤣
You're not even supposed to have your arm out your car window. The air pressure could get dust into your watch through the crown.
@@gyang333 You're not supposed to even move at all. Moment of inertia could destroy it inadvertently.
Avoid watches that you think you should have owned like a Submariner, Speedmaster, Datejust etc.
Buy something that YOU found and like.
For me, it'll soon be a Santos Dumont Quartz, yes Quartz.
Yes, don't listen to hidinkee or ablogtowatch saying "every collection must have a Speedmaster"
i always wanted a Patek . got my Patek ....
The Cartier Santos Dumont is a beautiful watch. Ethereal beauty with the reliability’ of quartz. Enjoy.

Greetings from northern Sweden and a fellow watch enthusiast.
You are right I agree.
Wants is one thing, needs are created.
I'm planning on getting a automatic diver. Do you think it would be bad to leave it dormant a few times a month? I will only be wearing it on the weekends and I don't want a winder. Thanks
you make watches look better than in real life ! Amazing job!
I need 300m water resistance just in case I drop my watch off the deck of my Yacht and I need to go down in my submarine to retrieve it.
Nice video! Please review the Rolex air-king line! All from example ref 5500 - modern air king! That would be awesome! All in all, great work! Best regards, Jonny
I love these segments. Keep them coming as you may!
That couldn’t be more spot on if it was written in stone, you nailed it, and it goes without saying out of the 20 pieces in my collection I have no regrets. But I very nearly fell for every one of the mentioned traps. My biggest problem now is when is enough enough 😌
never buy a watch without watching some videos from the Watchfinder & Co. first.
Great video and nicely written.
Love your Speedmaster.
I went crazy and bought about 20 watches in a year. Then realised I didn't like half of them and sold 10.
Now I won't buy something unless I like it more than what I have. ('67 Speedmaster, GS Spring Drive Diver)
I recently acquired my 1st Zelos. I got a Mako lll run by the new Miyota 9075 true, jump hour GMT. BI DIRECTIONAL, 48 click bezel and the most gorgeous blue, meteorite dial. $629.00 USD delivered, TT&L. Got it in July_23. Fine review guys!
Always buy what you like, not what others say
Very wise Mr Fox.
Totally agree.taste is a personal thing.so many people buy for the image.
I had the choice between a Tudor black bay and a breitling colt chronograph with a quartz movement, his point is spot on. The quartz watch was more me and I've never looked back since.
The Quartz movement is pretty much against all "expert" advice.
True but I never intend to sell it, it's low maintenance and cheap to maintain
hELLO THERE, Your reviews are great. any chance you could review the Crafter BLUE 600M DIVE WATCH?
I would like to ask what kind of depth rate would be appropriate for heavy rain and high humidity as it is in the South East Asia where I am located. Many thanks!
My golden rules:
1. Never under _any_ circumstances buy a watch on credit
2. Never spend money that I can't afford to lose (a bit like gambling - if I were into that sort of thing)
3. Never buy a particular make&model that hasn't been considered for at least 6 weeks prior to purchase
Adults don't need little rules like that. If you have to "save up" for a wrist watch, you can't afford it. If you can't trust your own judgement without waiting 6 weeks...same idea.
ultimaetsolder I disagree completely.
It’s gotta hurt....phuckaroonies
@@ultimaetsolder Okay I'll bite ;-) Adults don't _need_ a watch at all (and certainly not watches-plural) in the day that we live in. Some of us are in the happy position of not needing to "save up" for luxury items, which doesn't however imply that we deal recklessly with money. (Come to think of it, the first clause in that sentence may even be causally linked to the second clause - who knows?) Experience taught me that I regret impulse buys a good 25% of the time. This drops to under 1% if the purchase is well considered - hence the wisdom of mulling things over carefully. But hey, this is just what works for ME. If someone out there wants to get stupidly into debt by buying everything that tickles his whim, that's certainly not a problem for me. Each to his own.
Very good rules but I also subscribe to what @ultimaetsolder said. You don’t want to be that guy who looks like he’s spent all his money on a single watch.
Pls do Casio F-91W vs Patek Phillipe GrandMaster Chime
King 😂
classic troll comment
Hahaha 😂
Well I guess when comparing the basic functions like timekeeping, alarm and yearly calendar it will be hard to determine which one is better. Then there are a couple of differences. The Patek has a 2nd time zone and moon phase going for it. The Casio on the other hand has a display light which makes it preferable for bed time use. In the end it will come down to which of the two watches is aesthetically more pleasing to the interested buyer.
@@otobotrecords Don't forget that Casio has an hourly Chime complication, and it also has a slimmer profile which makes it better to wear with a classic suit. I'd wear that Patek inside the house or when doing heavy work, while keeping that Casio for more public errands)))
I'm looking everywhere for a Seiko 5 Sports SARZ029, what should you do if the watch is avoiding you?
Great video. I love that yall try to talk people down. Not just car salesmen trying to upgrade everybody too what they dont need
those 3 points on buying a watch apply to life in general to be honest... then again, horology is an expression of life so it only makes sense.
Love your vids!
I always wanted a rolex deepsea. I tried it on one day. I didn't like it. That was that.
Same for me
Can't ever afford it - but that's one ghastly eye sore for sure.
can you explain one thing to me, how them vintage wathes get so battered inside? the marks and denses on the hands? is it a cawboy watchmaker who serviced it or?
I'm really digging your vids. Well done!
I bought a Tudor Heritage Ranger new for a rediculously low £1300 just because I happoned to see it. I don't mind it but it was never on my radar to buy. I wear it now and again and try to convince myself I love it but I wear my Tissot PRC 200 quartz way more and I love it!!
You should have spent your money on English lessons not a new watch.
@@cuy50 But then I might have seller's regret...
„It won‘t be as long as you think“... set yourself on a list for a daytona. And it‘s going to be even longer😂
I always wanted the Speedy Pro but couldn't afford it and brought the reduced automatic version instead. 4 years later l bought the the Pro and 25 years later still love it !
Great advice, I agree with buy the watch you love not the one people recommend you buy etc. I brought my Breitling superocean heritage 2 in 42mm with blue dial and bezel on a mesh bracelet with the Tudor movement and I still love it every time I wear it and regardless of some collectors saying I should have brought a Rolex but I simply didn’t love it, I like Rolexes but I love my superocean. It’s important to buy a watch you love and enjoy not just something you brought as only an investment.
The 12hr marker on the Omega looks rather funky.

Don't smoke kids
Came here for this. 😂
A good one to avoid is the one you have the money to buy, but not the money to service.
Ah yes, also known as pulling an archieluxury.
Ali Alexander So I’ve heard.
I really enjoy all of your videos but this one is extra special. Thanks for the good advice!
first you entice us with those videos and now this ! absolutely needed to hear this though, thanks !
If you are really into watches then there is no one watch that can completely satisfy you, there is no unicorn watch.
Good watches are like Guitars in that way... Anyone who actually plays, as opposed to having one sitting in a corner for aesthetics, has more than one, for different reasons...
If you don't want AP ..I'll take it for £1...lol
I just ordered a stowa flieger classic and the 50 meters water resistance was scratching at the back of my mind. This helped put my brain to ease.
I got reamed on my 2nd Suunto. paid much more than the first (for style)
Serves me right. Within a month : Buttons stuck and band came apart more than once.
The Black Bay 58 man, I gotta hand it to Tudor for that one.
Parson Wilkerson The New GMT Pepsi is nice too. It looks better then the Master II from Rolex. 😁
I've had mine for almost a year and it's the perfect everyday piece imho. Wear it with a suit or to the beach and it fits. Classic styling and I'm only losing on average about 2 sec per day. Was going to spring for a Sub but this one caught my eye in a store. Fortunately the person who had it on hold backed out and I snatched it up. No regrets on the decision.
It's gorgeous.
Wow, great video. The part when the Tudor was on screen was fantastic.
yeah that Black Bay 58 is a beauty
I have one Omega Seamaster 120 vintage, one Ingersoll vintage digital mechanical, one Swatch skin super slim, and the rest are innovative/novelty. One for every occasion except none of which I would swim with.
Quite a timely discussed topic, thank you!!
Avoid watches that are; difficult to read easily, too big/heavy, unnecessary functions, etc. I often regret a couple I’ve bought for this reason. Find your sweet spot watch and you’ll love it forever, or until you can sell it. lol
Problem is that all of these are simply "part of the process" of finding what suits you best. I think everyone will always buy that watch that is simply too big especially since we're on the tail end of the huge watch trend.

I love looking at the expensive watches and internally balking. If I paid more than £1,000 for a watch I'd be scared to wear it because I'm careless as all hell and would end up dinging it too much.
I just collect cheaper watches. Currently sat with a Seiko 5, an Ecodrive Citizen, Orient Bambino Gen 4, Orient Polaris GMT, Tissot PRC 200 and a Russian Poljot Buran.
None of these watches exceeded £500 and they're all great to wear and look much more expensive than they actually are.
For my next watch I'm looking between a Zeppelin, Seiko Presage or a Timex Marlin (red/burgundy dial)
I do agree with you, we don't need 300m water resistance, although it helps. I the have a G-SHOCK for when I am at the fire station and the pressure rating tells me that if I take a blast of water at close range, the watch won't buckle.
Im keen on the new speedmaster 57 moonwatch. I would be interested in your thoughts.
