Whether you’re a fan of the Rolex Submariner or Omega Seamaster, Weekend Watches with Tim Mosso is your deep dive into the world of luxury watches.
Rolex watches always figure prominently on the show, because no online vendor has more pre-owned and vintage Rolex models than www.thewatchbox.com. Today, we feature a yellow gold Rolex Submariner, a yellow gold Rolex Daytona on a strap, a Rolex Sea-Dweller SD43, and a Rolex GMT Master II “Batman” with black-and-blue bezel. All four watches are core collection models for Rolex of Geneva, and the newest model line among them - the Cosmograph Daytona - still traces its roots 56 years into the past.
Omega watches are Rolex’s eternal rivals, and today’s program showcases three Omega classics. Fans of dive watches will appreciate both a 43.5mm stainless steel Seamaster Planet Ocean and a fan favorite, the 42mm “James Bond” Seamaster Diver 300M in stainless steel. Aviators and fans of NASA space history will enjoy a look at the original Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy,” the 2003 model year limited edition of 5,441 pieces. The classic Omega Moonwatch morphs into a canvas for Peanuts creator, Charles Schulz, thanks to a careful image transfer to the caseback and dial of this Speedmaster limited edition.
Patek Philippe sports watches never have been hotter than they are right now. The Patek Philippe Aquanaut here styles in uncommon rose gold. A new brown-black gradient dial with spectacular sunburst grain livens this strap-mounted Patek Aquanaut. For devotees of complicated watches, a Patek Philippe perpetual calendar chronograph - the 5270G - impresses with both beauty and class-leading engineering. This descendant of the Patek Philippe 1518 represents the 2015 dial iteration of the 5270, and the “chin” has been tamed without eliminating the sporty tachymeter scale from the dial.
Bulgari’s surging Octo Finissimo collection maintains its momentum with our 50-piece 2017 limited edition Bulgari Octo Finissimo Revolution, a special series designed in cooperation with Wei Koh of “Revolution Magazine” and “The Rake.” The ultra-thin titanium watch measures only 5.3mm in thickness, and the manufacture Bulgari caliber BVL-128 sports impressive finish and custom Revolution graphics.
Collectors of German watches will be pleased to see two of Glashutte’s finest, the Zeitwerk in white gold and the Langematik Perpetual in rose gold. A decade removed from its watershed launch the jump-hour / jump-minute Zeitwerk digital watch remains a masterpiece of imagination and mechanical engineering. Practicality and romance receive equal billing in the Sax-o-Mat powered Langematik Perpetual calendar.

Love the movement of that Portoguese. All the "anglage" and "Geneva stripes" are cool, but what I love about it is the architecture itself. Not enough brands do it
Yesterday I said that the Saxonia Langematic was my grail, but after today's show it will be the medium term grail, the long term one must be that exact Zeitwerk with grey dial, what a timeless timepiece!
One of my favorite parts of Sunday morning :)
Thanks, Tim and the crew 👍
Thanks for supporting my work, Abdul! Did you have a favorite from this episode?
Best,
Tim
@@the1916companywatchreviews my pleasure, I have to say the Zeitwerk is my favourite without a doubt. I could see myself getting one in one of the big milestones in the future.
Best,
Abdul
The Zeitwerk and the 5270 were insane.
Great video and well spoken.
Great show as always. Your the only person I can watch this show because it’s all about the watches. Good job 👍 keep doin your thing it’s working out. My favorite watch being the 5740/1G perpetual calendar with the white gold all time favorite I wear it for everything I don’t think about damage it’s a tool watch.
Thank you for supporting my show! Presenting these watches and reading the feedback are highlights of my week, and I'm grateful to the audience that makes it possible.
Best,
Tim
Amazing picks Tim.
Better than the Zeitwerk only the Zeitwerk Striking Time😍

Tim - I’m going with the Rolex Sea-Dweller over that Omega Planet Ocean. If money is a factor, the Omega is a very nice choice. However, money not being an object, The Rolex 50th Anniversary Sea Dweller with Red text - that watch is simply special!
The noticeable offset between the date indices on the Zeitwerk always bothers me when viewed at anything other than dead-on. This isn't a problem on the Lange 1 or other grande date Langes, so I wonder why it still persists?
The minutes? It might be that you're reading them as a date rather than a digital time display.
Best,
Tim
@@the1916companywatchreviews Tim, my bad - I meant the minutes display. The right digit appears to be set further back than the left (tens) one and looks misaligned when viewed at an angle. That doesn't seem to be a problem for the big date displays, though I understand that the minutes wheel requires more places (6?) and thus is more difficult to implement than the simple cross piece used for the left date index.
PS - hope to see you in Singapore soon. Cheers!
Made my 5000-meter row this afternoon more enjoyable today, thanx Mosso. Lange rules and FPJ was impressive today. So what is your music choice for cycling? Long live BOC! 👍
Thanks for watching, Bubba. When I'm not on the road (no music), my cycling usually involves watching a baseball game while I log a workout on the rollers. I'm almost out of baseball for 2019, so I'll need to find a surrogate pretty soon.
Best,
Tim
wonderful!
What was your favorite watch from today's show? Mine likely was obvious from the presentation.
Best,
Tim
@@the1916companywatchreviews rolex hehe:) pls do a review of two tone daytona and sub:)

This show is my favorite part of Sunday mornings. The Zeitwerk hour change was very cool! Thank you for showing it. Great stuff Tim, keep rocking the BOC tee as long as you can!
BOC4LIFE. I learned guitar because of Buck Dharma, and I try to see the band at least once per year. Regarding future changes, my style has been unassuming and irreverent from the beginning, and I hope that future management dictation doesn't demand Hodinkee-style pretense.
Best,
Tim
SD43 or SD4K for wearability Tim? Now that you've tried both. I have an SD4K but am loving the look of the new one!
The collector value of the 116600 is unmatched by other modern Rolex divers. If you already have this watch, then you should consider the SD43 as an addition, but definitely not as a replacement. Also, if you're considering the 126600, check out a post-2018 Deepsea; you might be surprised by the fit, and it's a technical tour de force with Rolex's best diving clasp.
Best,
Tim
Tim best show like always.. love your dynamic energy.. having the hulk should my next watch be Pepsi or batman ( I leave it up to your expertise to decide my destiny) thanks
Nice show Tim! It’s amazing the amount of knowledge you bring with these watches.
Thank you, brand! Work can be an up-and-down experience, but these shows are the indisputable highlight of my work week.
Best,
Tim
Just sat down for lunch (UK) and thought hmm there must be a long form Watchbox video coming soon... refreshed the page and bam! Thanks Tim!
You might say this show is as reliable as a Swiss watch! 7am US eastern on Sunday and Wednesday is the time to "watch for watches."
Best,
Tim
Tim, you need that Linesport Centigraphe ;)
i realize the % of people who actually dive with dive watches is probably miniscule, but it's crazy how much more legible that rolex is compared to the omega.
Agree on the 300m, my favorite version of it
Coming soon the 300M Chronograph! Had mine on order since it was announced in May (blue and yellow gold on rubber). They're telling me it'll be in next month, but it's strange that no one anywhere seems to have received one yet. I guess they must have been busy with the various Speedmaster launches.
Hi Dave, I suspect that SMP 300M Chrono production likely is being held back for exactly the reason you describe.
Best,
Tim
I wish Omega would get rid of that chimney at 10 o'clock and go with a flat helium valve! Change nothing else and the Seamster 300 would destroy the Rolex Sub. No question!
Great show as always Tim. Thank you 👍
It was my pleasure, Mark! I appreciate your support of my channel.
Best,
Tim
Extraordinary Watches. Encyclopedic Host. Essential Viewing. Bravo!
Is Tim afraid that his glasses get stolen or why wouldnt he just leave them in his office?
Nice deal. Starting the week listen the qualities of fine watches.
Thank you for show us this samples.
Thank you for supporting my channel!
Best,
Tim
Love these videos, perfect breakfast entertainment
Excellent! That was part of my plan; folks watch more RUclips in the morning than in the evening (the show's old time slot).
Best,
Tim
Tim, please let me know what is your favorate diving watch or even better let me know your top three... Tnx, cheers
Hi Pete, thanks for supporting my show. I like quite a few divers, but if pressed, the Ressence Type 5B, Omega Seamaster 2531.80.00 (my graduation watch), Blancpain 5015 (blue/titanium, 2017 model). I must clarify that quite a few additional watches from Sinn, Rolex, De Bethune, JLC, Pita Barcelona, and even Mido follow the top three.
Best,
Tim
Hi Tim! Thank you for your replay! Interesting choices... In my hunt for something different I have chosen the Chopard LUC Pro One Diver (black dial with orange luminova)... Its interesting how underratted it is but thats an another story... Cheers Pete
OMG Tim you are the leader in watch presentation. Love this early morning show of stellar time instruments. BLancpain is amazing in technology and build quality an models. My favorite on the grail table. Thank you sir stay safe for the watch industry and WatchBox fans.
Hi Dave, it's my pleasure to share these watches. I've long dreamed of a Fifty Fathoms, and the new(wish) titanium/blue 5015 from 2017's Baselworld might be the watch that makes the dream come true.
Best,
Tim
Hi Tim, once again you've brought a cheery end to a less than cheery week. So many great pieces that I've never seen or seen under the hood, you clearly do more then anyone else to show us how vast world of fine watches truly is. Virtually every show is a trip thru Alice's looking glass and that you can consistently do that 3 times a week is amazing.
Especially liked your closer, not afraid to point out timeless, classic good looks and value don't have to wear a little crown!
Drive on and have a good week.
Hi Randy, thank you, and I hope your next week is more heartening than the last. The Omega SMP 300 needed to be the closer, as you say, because it proves that the best watches need not be the rarest, most expensive, or most hyped.
Best,
Tim
Love me some Wake Up with Watches!! I’m with you on that Omega 300m!! Tim quick question, that Omega 300m or the JLC Polaris Date?
You get far more for your money with the Omega. From movement to case to dial to bracelet, the Omega is the better watch, and it costs far less cash.
Best,
Tim
👋🏽 from Oslo! Zeitwork = Silver Darth Vader!!
I vote for this description. A Zeitwerk with black time discs, white numerals, and a black-tinted time bridge dial would be the end of the world and set adjacent objects on fire.
Best,
Tim
Cheers Tim! It is a little on the thicker side so does it wear a little top heavy on the wrist?
It's not bad. The watch isn't thick the way many dive watches or Royal Oak Offshores are thick, but the Zeitwerk is a massive watch; you can feel that there's a ton of precious metal in the case.
Best,
Tim
I agree w so many of the undersigned. A tour de force of concisely and brilliantly presented works of artistic craftsmanship and engineering by a gifted modern authority and advisor par excellence. A Fantastic program. 👍.
Another week, Another great episode.
Difficult choice between that aquanaut in rose gold and the new yacht master 42
I pushed hard to film a comparison of the two this week, but the Yacht-Master was sold out from under me. Having reviewed both watches, I liked the Rolex better. It feels more substantial, the movement is tougher, more accurate, and longer-legged, and the rotating bezel is useful. With the Oysterflex bracelet, the YM42 as a whole better reflects recent investment in product quality than the unchanged-for-12-years Aquanaut.
Best,
Tim
WatchBox Reviews Tim I thank you for your honest advice !
The best in action
Thank you for this kind feedback! The watches are the stars, and I'm just happy to share. The show is a bit like listening to the radio rather than a personal play list; there's a joy-of-discovery element in the random selections.
Best,
Tim
The gold daytona with blue dial is my favourite from this episode...
Tim, Love the Blue Öyster Cult t-shirt 👌👍 Very avant-garde and underrated band.
Rock on! I adore the band, and Buck Dharma is the reason I decided to learn guitar.
As a Long Islander, I call BOC my home town proto-metal band, and I try to catch them in concert at least once per year. I plan to put a date-location patch on the back of the shirt for every time I've seen the band in concert.
Best,
Tim
A wonderful brunch menu of delicious time peices for any palet, all filling the appetites for our horology needs. Well done.
It's the breakfast of (chronometry) champions!

I just wanted to say I love this show. You are doing a tremendous job Tim. I would like to ask your opinion (and that of someone who feels inclined to reply obviously).
As I recently graduated I've always had my eye on the seamaster 300 (the spectre watch, but the normal edition). Would it be a good idea to buy an unworn/secondhand(?) watch or would you advise me to buy a new watch at a certified omega dealer? I've had my eye on this watch for over a year, and I wanted to buy this watch for myself, as a present for graduating university.
Any thoughts?
Much appreciated for your reply. Thanks!
Congratulations on your graduation, Elias! I recommend getting the SM300 used due to the substantial depreciation and the five-year warranty. Get one a year old or less, and you'll pay over a thousand dollars less than new while receiving four years of warranty -- more than most watches purchased new. Moreover, there is tremendous selection on the pre-owned market for SM300 buyers, so you'll have no difficulty finding one that's fresh from the dealer and complete with its boxed set.
Best,
Tim
@@the1916companywatchreviews Thanks tim! Thank you for taking the time to reply, means a lot to me!
Love the format with prices Tim👍👍👍 i literally follow the show i watch on appletv on my phone to see the prices :) you get 2 views from me per show
Thank you, Mert! I decided that it was better to list the prices so that collectors can shop through the description, but the show itself doesn't become a parade of prices. The response has been effusive, so I'm trying to find other ways that I can include shopping tools on the channel.
Right now, a systematic overview of boxes and papers might be the next feature on the channel; I've never documented the full set that a person should received with any particular watch.
Best,
Tim
Beautiful selection presented in excellent fashion as always Tim. I'm still drawn to and always loving the "Rolex 50th Anniversary Red Sea-Dweller" without a doubt. My second love the Rolex GMT "Batman". Regards...........Fett.
While I usually try to include as many offbeat and underrated Rolex models in the show, there are times when pure fan favorites need to be in the lineup for balance.

Tim
BOC ✌🏻 Fear the Reaper
I'm planning to frame all of the old vinyl album sleeves around the wall of my new office when it's done.
Best,
Tim
WatchBox Reviews Careful with that word “old”...lol...”vintage” maybe....I just turned 50, so all of my BOC vinyl dates from my mullet period....Love what you do, and I’ve learned a ton!
One of my favorites here was the rose gold Aquanaut. Now that’s a big deal for me, as usually I don’t like the Aquanaut nor rose gold watches in general (with the exception maybe of some two-tone Everose gold and steel Rolex’s). But the combination of the two here just works! I was a childhood fan of Peanuts and I still find Snoopy very endearing, so love the Peanuts Moon Watch, this and the other one (who wouldn’t? 🙂) That Blancpain is a monster! Never seen that model before. Also really liked that movement on the Portuguese too.
I share your enthusiasm for that Aquanaut. The 5167 isn't a favorite of mine, and I prefer white metals, but the rose gold with this particular dial amounts to a more appealing watch than the standard 5167A. And yes, that particular Portuguese and its movement add up to a watch for the ages.
Best,
Tim
Hey Tim, what are your thoughts on the Rolex Datejust 36 (16234) with the blue vignette dial and diamond indices?
I would go for the Omega Seamaster 2018 ...over both the rolex and Omega P.O...but I am biased...since I own two!
Awesome! Omega (Grandpa's De Ville and my graduation SMP) is the only brand that features twice in my watch collection.
Best,
Tim
@@the1916companywatchreviews
Just one mm less diameter and lose the Helium valve and the Sub would be blown away for good!
I'd still prefer it to the Rolex if I were looking for a sports watch.
Bezel sound Rolex vs Omega. I own many of both and have had some back “lash” with Rolex but never with a Omega Planet Ocean. Omega clicks to its spot and has zero lash.
I've had a few people relate tales of Rolex bezel play, but it's not something I've experienced firsthand. At some point, I need to see this for myself to form an opinion.
Best,
Tim
Maitres Du Temps Chapter 3 is my favorite watch on the table🏆
That chrono optimum though....
Isn't that thing special? I love the model and all it embodies. In the future, I hope to film a "precision olympics" episode that tests every accuracy-focused model in order to determine the finest overall mechanical watch for fans of pure chronometry.
Best,
Tim
@@the1916companywatchreviews Tim, that's the big question - for all the amazing complication and coolness factor, is it actually more accurate than a mass-produced machine-made Rolex or Omega? But of course if accuracy was the main criterion we'd all be wearing Grand Seikos 😁
Anyway, I look forward to the 'Chronometry Olympics' episode, but will you allow Spring-Drive? 🤔
I foresee that the original Batman will be in the future one of the most collectible SS in Rolex history
I prefer the Jubilee version of the Rolex BLNR ... but the oyster version is also very nice.
Doug Hindman I have the new Batman it’s super nice
Considering the relatively small number manufactured, it's surprising how many FP Journe pieces we see for sale.
We own more Journe than all factory boutiques combined. The main distinction is that we tend to target rare, discontinued, or vintage examples.
While we buy all brand aggressively, ownership has a special interest in buying and holding the Journe pieces.
There's an element of speculation, to be sure; we rarely buy watches to hold long-term, but the Journes you see on the site and the channel tend to be watches acquired with a view to letting their markets ferment prior to our marketing efforts.
Best,
Tim
@@the1916companywatchreviews Tim, thanks for your detailed reply - I'm honoured. I guess that by now WB can afford to be selective in the brands and specific pieces you buy, and take a strategic approach to developing the market. Maybe I'll be in the market for an FPJ soon, but for me De Bethune is still way out there 😁
Oh look, it the Paneromos Club Campus.
Being an owner of both the Omega and the Rolex (DeepSea version) its a difficult decision......but I do find myself reaching for the Rolex slightly more. But my Planet Ocean is just wonderful. But that Sea Dweller.........oh that Sea Dweller.........perfection.
It's a coincidence that you say this. I just posted a Rolex-Omega dive watch comparison yesterday, and I reached the same conclusion as you did; this Rolex SD43 would be my first choice to own and wear.
