Top Ten Best DEEP BLUE Watch Dials Under $1000
In a follow up to my video two weeks ago on light blue dials, here we have the deep blue version. This was a very difficult list to put together, because there are just so many deep blue watches out there. See if you agree with my choices, and let me know if there is anything here you would change - there are a few honourable mentions at the end!

Top Ten "BEST" Gemstone Dial Watches Under $1000
Переглядів 1,4 тис.16 годин тому
In this video I explore the world of Gemstone Dials, while they are becoming more popular in the budget watch sector, there are a huge number of watches that use the gemstone name to describe the colour of a dial, rather than actually using it. I've tried my best to find a spread of different gemstones, but I think it's safe to say some are really limited for choice, hence the somewhat sarcasti...

    I am always tempted by that cool citizen dial! For me, I think I would include the Direnzo DRZ - 03 blue dial, which they issued on their original model, but I don’t know if they have re-issued since. I think that dial really put them on the map. I am also a big fan of the Christopher Ward. #Tide BlueDial, which might have been just under 1000 when it first came out, at least on a strap. The Zelos Eagle 2 in blue looks amazing as well. So many great blue dials, so little time! Lol.

    Was the same with Baltic, always loved it and never owned it until the GMT green and blue bezel. It has become my favorite watch in my collection. Get the blue gilt! Squale might not be a Homage either as if you look at when Rolex got the crown guards, squale had a model that looks like the modern sub around the same year... The 1960 Squale Atmos 25, if you find a photo it is a sub including the Mercedes hands.

    I don’t get the love for Cartier, I just don’t. Handsome sure but that’s it for me. I don’t normally pay attention to watches over 10 grand but thanks to your video I did today. The only two that really impress me above that amount are the 1908 and the Lange, both look stupendous. Interesting that I am more drawn to the Japanese stuff, the Citizen and Grand Seiko stand out to me. I also really like a Speedy, especially the versions with the alpha hands, is that a Pro maybe? Great videos as always, I just dig your whole vibe

      @@ImpulsiveWatches I have a tank homage and it’s lovely. I don’t have any negative opinions about Cartier, I just don’t understand how as a fashion brand they not only get a pass (when Gucci and others get nothing but vitriol) but they are almost a grail brand for so many. I do quite enjoy the variety and absurdity that comes along with our shared hobby, so I will just leave them be and observe them from afar. I already do this with so many others for various reasons; Rolex, Casio, Hublot, Richard Mille, Xeric, PRX etc. Can’t wait until one of them changes my mind which then gets me to buy their watch. For several reasons I’m hoping it’s the 1908 ;)

    Interesting inclusion the MR-G (Casio G-Shock). My counter-choice (or simply a recommend) to that would be to have a look at the MT-G B3000 series, launched in 2022. And the reason that I find this series interesting would be that they're only 12.1mm thick, which makes them lay flat to the wrist, so a heck of a lot less "chunky" than nearly anything else in the G-Shock catalogue.
