In my very personal opinion, the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Chrono Panda is simply the most beautiful and perfect watch and my 'grail watch'. I am so fortunate to actually have it on my wrist right now. Thanks Watchfinder for putting it on the spot! Cheers from Germany
It’s great how you've covered options, making it easier for everyone to find the perfect timepiece. This is a must-watch for any watch enthusiast looking to upgrade their collection. Thanks for sharing these fantastic recommendations!👏👏
Reconsider bragging/complaining about that, is I think what the sages would suggest. They'd say to work on your income to meet your aspirations. People who love watches, or cars, or houses, and make it their everything, start providing services and products that serve as many people, to do with the hobby or otherwise, are achieving dreams. Car spotters from 10 years ago are now buying Bugattis. Watch vloggers are being hired to design signature editions for ambitious brands. Suggestion: read Creating Money by Sanaya Roman. Breaks it all down and offers mental exercises to find your way. I now COULD make a nice start to a Rolex collection, but it's not my priority at the money. Still lusting over modest Pagani Design pieces and the like, really am. Actually wear the same watch every day although I have more than anyone needs. Looking at the 11/11 Ali sale now. Some double digit pieces that are looking sweet.
Where are Zenith, Omega, Breitling Navitimer (B01 and B02) and Grand Seiko 9S chronographs? That list shows that the Tudor-Rolex combo use competitor's movements: Tudor's "in house" is actually the borrowed 01 Breitling own movement, and Rolex has borrowed the Zenith movement. What does this say for the "combo" - just that you'd better get the original Breitling or Zenith supperior watches rather than those homage undertakings.
The b01 movement is reworked a bit but I get you're pt. Its a borrowed movement but its not exclusive in the industry. Pretty sure they swapped movements, Breaking uses a Tudor movement too at times. I've seen those Rolex Daytona on the market w/ Zenith movements, still a nice watch.
Forgot my Omega silver snoopy, I love chronograph watches have about 8 of them. The Tudor Panda is right next to snoopy in my watchbox,a durable workhorse if u want it to be.
Funny putting the Daytona after the Overseas considering its orders of magnitude more pedestrian than the VC. It’s literally a run of the mill vertical clutch chrono with machine finishing.
The Tudor is a regular part of the catalogue now, so it's ok to include it. But I really think you should have included a Zenith (with a Zenith branded dial of course!).
How refreshing, a watch channel NOT using AI to read the text. Love the slight sarcasm here and there. That Heuer looks stunning, with the 12 hour bi-directional bezel having an added feature. That would be my favourite. But… I already own a MoonSwatch 😂😂😂
I have the Tudor & Omega, but picked up a limited edition Citizen Tsuno super racer,its light weight titanium & pushers & crown are at the 12 o'clock side..about 1100$. Looks as good as any.
I have Tudor & Omega,picked up a limited edition Citizen racer in titanium. Pretty cool watch for about 1,100$,pushers & crown are at 10,12 &2. Beautiful piece,only 1973 made.
Well done Tom. Nice video and some great watches. Yes, there are some which you have missed, but I guess the video would have been much longer and there are only so many hours in a day. Forget the needles in the comments as some people are just too picky. Keep it up old son.
No hate, but the quality and credibility of your channel is somewhat lost, perhaps with it's popularity. You very seldom mention Japanese movements or bring them to front. This video deserved at the very least had 2 Japanese brands mentioned, but all were Western.

Is so wonderful to have something you wished for a long time, I hope you enjoy it for many years.

My budget today would struggle to purchase a Casio F91w
Seiko & St Martin have nice chronos , keep working at it,Casio makes some nice watches & u won't get mugged for it.
Dam you must be poor I could afford 2 F91W watches if I really wanted to.👑

Don't worry. Things are about to get better.
Maybe you should spend less time chilling and more time working
Thank you Tom, a nice collection there, i do like that Heuer Autavia 👍 Au
IWC takes the crown here. What a stunner

@richardmorris7063 Agreed.
Tom, I’ve missed you!
Forgot my Omega silver snoopy, I love chronograph watches have about 8 of them. The Tudor Panda is right next to snoopy in my watchbox,a durable workhorse if u want it to be.
I don't know why Rolex decided to print War & Peace on its dial, but hey, they're "the experts."
I know it’s not Tuesday but c’mon Tom - a chronograph list without a Speedy??? Tut tut
No entries from Zenith's El Primero caliber? Its a massive omission when you've included a Laureato...
Not to mention Omega..
Funny putting the Daytona after the Overseas considering its orders of magnitude more pedestrian than the VC. It’s literally a run of the mill vertical clutch chrono with machine finishing.
The Tudor is a regular part of the catalogue now, so it's ok to include it. But I really think you should have included a Zenith (with a Zenith branded dial of course!).
I genuinely forgot this channel was even still a thing until now.
Where is the zenith El primero 1/100th chronograph?
I was very close to adding it!
As we have 2 Breitlings here (one camouflaged as Tudor) having 2 Zeniths would be too much...
I can't unsee the offset dashes either side of the 3 and 9 indices on the Breitling.
damn that purple tudor
Yes. With that green IWC, the orange Breitling and that white Heuer.
Stunning chronographs, but proceed to leave out Breitling Navitimer, Speedmaster, Master Control Chronograph Calendar, Datograph, Zenith Chronomaster
No Zenith El Primero?
Zenith Chronomaster Sport?
How refreshing, a watch channel NOT using AI to read the text.
Love the slight sarcasm here and there.

Zenith El Primero is missing imo
Qui oublie Zénith n'est pas sérieux
Yeah.. ' ANY' budget..
This guy sound just like Tony Robinson who played Baldric in Rowan Atkinson’s Blackadder. I wonder if he has a cunning plan?
Tudor and Hamiltton💯👍
I have the Tudor & Omega, but picked up a limited edition Citizen Tsuno super racer,its light weight titanium & pushers & crown are at the 12 o'clock side..about 1100$. Looks as good as any.
how about the seagull 1963? its a nice looking watch with significant history and an old school chrono movement.
Might just have to do a review on that at some point.
On a budget? Check out the
Pitzmann III Chronograph and
Junghaus Max Bill Chronoscope.
Casio G shock should be on it’s a classic watch affordable for all
The Autavia and the Premier for me please.
Because of the channel Watches of Espionage when I look at a Breitling watch, I recover the sentence "Sketchy dudes wear Breitling" 😂
Yeah right "any bugdet" but starts with 2k which you can also buy a car with.
Didn’t. Breitling, Hamilton & Heuer, join together in the 1960’s to create the worlds first Automatic Chronographic Watch!
Known as Project 99!
Bruh you left out the speedmaster
I almost put it in, but we've got a Speedy video coming out soon anyway!
I have Tudor & Omega,picked up a limited edition Citizen racer in titanium. Pretty cool watch for about 1,100$,pushers & crown are at 10,12 &2. Beautiful piece,only 1973 made.
Studio Underdog O1SERIES should have been in that list.
A great addition to the list!
Didn’t see anything for my “any budget” of say 200 quid,oh well Casio g-shock it is then
6:40 12 & 6
They don’t even make the Autavia anymore
Where’s Longines
Jumped the shark
Since when did Pandas have three eyes 🤔
Black nose...!?
Well done Tom. Nice video and some great watches. Yes, there are some which you have missed, but I guess the video would have been much longer and there are only so many hours in a day. Forget the needles in the comments as some people are just too picky. Keep it up old son.
Where the moonwatch???
The voice is all wrong!!!
Yes😅
A Jerry Perry 😂
Not, like anybody could get the pink Tudor BB Chronograph at an official dealer for RRP 🙄
Besides a Daytona 😂😂😂
Zénith ? Le meilleur chrono, impardonnable oubli
Why would you want a stopwatch?
The dials look cool mostly, I guess you could always time an egg!
Or if you have too much money a RM 011.
Low budget Andrew Morgan
Steve McQueen cant tell you anything because hes been dead for a long time .

Haven't watched in a while...is this a new narrator?
Yerp, Andrew Morgan has his own channel now and his mate Tom has taken over here….
Sure is!
For any budget?😂
daytona is the most expensive? this video is only for poor people then.
This channel sucks without Andrew Morgan narration.
3:55 Sketchy dudes wear Breitling.
Pink is a fad.
Sorry man, every time I watch one of these videos i wish Andrew was reading the script. He's entertaining. You're not.
First 🔥
Are there any mechanical chronos out there under 1k that don't use the ST19 movement?
I'd b surprised
