    This is why Fede is the real deal. $200 watch, $400 watch and $15,000 watch sit next to each other in his box and he waxes lyrical about them all.

    SKX013 here at 38mm. Fits me well. Love it.

    Any of those Seikos can be regulated by yourself with a light tap of the regulation lever. I have a 14 year old NH35 movement that is within a second a day, never been serviced. Was off 10 sec until that quick adjustment.

    I completely agree it can be just as enjoyable choosing, buying and wearing an inexpensive watch. No need to feel guilty, no fear of being robbed, OK they (usually) won't increase in value, but that isn't an issue when they cost pocket money in the first place.

    got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on amzwatch 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.

    A go to for Summer is my Seiko 5 Sports GMT ‘Mikan Orange’ (SKX Re-Interpretation) SSK005K1. A great, comfortable Watch that is also great to wear because it was a gift from a dear friend I’ve met through the UA-cam Watch Community. Not only a great Watch but, good memories to go with it! ✊

    My favorite thing about the SKX is the whole ecosystem of modders, aftermarket, and clones. It's not so much a model as it is a form factor.

    OMG, I went 3 out of 4. I even use my 5610 exactly the same way as the reference piece for my other watches because of its insane accuracy. However, I don't have a PRX, instead I have a Tissot Gentleman, which I think is a better made and more versatile watch. I would add one more, though, the Casio Royale, which I think is the most perfect travel watch ever.

    I own one in that price area, the Marlow Coniston for $425. Marlow is a micro British brand that is just great and looks like a much more expensive brand. I bought it on a lark, and was surprised how much I would like it. Smart comment that you keep the $ watches in a vault at work.

After that video I found a great gold vintage Hamilton "Eric " for a good deal. It looks as good as anything new I was considering.

    My watch was purchased 2 years ago from amzwatch and, to this day, it still looks and runs as well as it did the day it arrived. That movement has never missed a beat despite never having been serviced. I can't complain about that.

  • @takethecurseOFFwashingmachine
    @takethecurseOFFwashingmachine 3 місяці тому

    For an affordable everyday watch I have to go with the victorinox inox quartz. Very accurate, I love the way it looks, and it’s super tough, which is nice cause I’m always fixing something in the house or one of my cheapo cars. My two complaints are 1. The lume fades way too fast. And 2, as fed mentioned with his tuna, being a bigger watch, it’s not the most comfortable. I’m pretty used to it and wear this thing daily, but every now and then I feel like it would be nice to wear a light field watch

  • @stevenwatchenthusiast

    I had several Hamilton’s for a long time because I didn’t want to spend 5k on a mark and I eventually pulled the trigger on the XX and it was totally worth it. I still love the Hamilton’s for the price but IWC for such a plain watch is an amazing buy.

    It's sad that watches that look good cost over 1k+. MAMACOO watches are REALLY well made, and it just shows how a brand name on a watch can make its price 10x higher. I understand that if you look under a microscope, you'll find the difference, but just how many of you really inspect a watch at that level when you see someone with a watch?
