The Best Price to Pay For Watches in Summer 2024

  • Luxury watches cost serious money, but value is relative. Both a Rolex Submariner and a Tudor Pelagos are excellent dive watches, but the Tudor costs half as much. Tonight, Tim Mosso compares competing luxury watches at different price points to find the best value in each class. From Tudor to Omega to Chopard, we have alternatives to the usual suspects for watch collectors of all budgets.
    Compare the Rolex Submariner to the Tudor Pelagos LHD. The 41mm steel Submariner Date costs $10,250, and the Pelagos LHD costs $5,025. The Rolex is guaranteed to hold its value and is worth the wait, but those without the means or the patience will be well served by the Pelagos. Its deluxe extensible diving clasp, 500-meter diving depth, and helium escape valve make the Pelagos LHD a viable alternative not only to the Rolex Submariner but also to the Rolex Sea Dweller.
    Tonight's show compares watches from Audemars Piguet, Blancpain, Vacheron Constantin, Chopard, Glashutte Original, Zenith and other leading brands.
    All of this plus live discussion and watch collector wrist shots appears tonight on "Watches Tonight!"

    *love* the Sea Q panorama date, but it’s huge. The smaller 39.5mm Sea Q is perfect, but it’s a gutted money-grab: different movement, no panorama date, closed caseback, and a meager 40 hour power reserve. Why, GO, why 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Great show Tim! Awesome topic and analysis. Yeah Blancpain wants $300 to send my watch to Secaucus for a water testing and "cleaning". They used to test for free at Boutique in NYC. It's a Léman btw.

    • @the1916company
      @the1916company  3 місяці тому +4

      That's just weird. Blancpain is high luxury, and for that kind of money, a water test and (local!) shipping should be free. Service is one thing, but asking $300 for a water test is like charging for the perfunctory car wash after dealer service on your car.

    All prices across the board have increased. It's the new normal. Even mid range like Tudor are creeping closer to OP prices. Jlc, Iwc, Rolex, Bvlgari, Chopard etc are going up almost 1k cad per year last 3 years
    Iwc ingeniur is still running 4k CAD cheaper than Piaget polo, GP laurriato, Chopard Alpine eagle and Bvlgari octo
