Well said!
@@BraveBeatersВы что русский?
I like the orient the most. The movement is very smooth
Honestly dude, your videos are so high spec, thank you for all the hard work.
Thank you :)
timex marlin
I like Glycine.
Hands looks more visible than on many panda homages and finally a quartz chrono without useless 24h subdial.
Fully agree, I find it well balanced, features and design wise.
I'd really like one, but can't seem to find them in stock anywhere... really sucks
Truly appreciate your professional nature while adding a hint of luxury and honesty that makes this channel a pleasure to watch.
Those Timex watches doing good job 🤔
At the time of the year when my UA-cam feed is overflowing with 11.11 videos, I really admire that you take the other route and feature good value watches from companies that don't make a living from copy/paste and questionable shipping fees.
Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to share these great alternatives with us all. I do like the Timex watches you show, but the Orient option is also attractive. Much appreciated.
It's always my pleasure! These pieces are so cool! :) Cheers!
You know, I bought a nice Timex in Montreal recently. Had something to do with the tides or something. 😝
Looked great at the airport, loved it but after getting home after a couple of days I looked at it and just couldn't get over it was a Timex...Geez,I never thought myself as a snob..😣
Video made me buy the Orient, it's just a beautiful piece, can't wait for it to come in!!
haha! enjoy it, it's a beautiful piece!
I got one of the Orients inbound too. Great video and also the full review. @@BraveBeaters
Nice selection, these watches are great 👌
I have the Timex Q Chronograph 🥰 The 70s vintage style is awesome on this one !
Very true! :) I am glad you like it!
Ahhh, here it is again, Merlin on Jeans strap ❤ what a beaut! Had to get one myself in that combo. Thx again!
Great video and soundtrack!
Great selection, and thanks for keeping it simple. We'll done
Haha! Ceers! :)
The Timex reverse panda looks the cleanest IMO. All subjective & Orient has a solid reputation for value.
These are all great choices. The Glycine seems a bit large for me personally but has a really nice layout. Those two Timexes have great vintage vibes and value. And leave it to Orient to show Seiko how to make value watch.
Not sure I'd call the Citizen a Daytona alternative even with a Panda dial but it's still a nice Chrono. And there is a cool factor to Bullheads.
In defense of Pagani Design, their Longines Spirit homages (PD1717) are actually some decent values and homages.
I am glad you liked the selection, I have nothing against Pagani's and I know the Spirit version, not bad at all, you are right :)
Strong muscles Dude. 💪 The five watches together: best selection.
Great topic- fer the rest of us❤
👌I bought a Timex Marlin Chronograph
Solid piece! Enjoy it! ❤️
Excellent options. Nice video
You should add the alpha Daytona chrono, cream dial with steel bezel, bought this one 3 years ago with a hesalite bubble crystal, on a rallye leather brown strap, a pure 70.s style beauty for less than 200$ bucks with a manual st19. Still runs a +2s/day today. 👍
As a proud orient owner this watch, white leather band, beautiful.
Every watch on your list is a superb pick!
I still remember the 1st video you posted on the Orient Chrono. I still need to bet it. I fell in love with that watch
haha! Cheers! :)
I'm a Glycine fan. They are just the perfect size for my wrist.
This is becoming one of the most important and well produced channels in the landscape. Excellent reviews. I have a Mako green face already and was considering the Seiko silver dial panda. Can I justify two Mako’s? It’s a cracking watch and this video is now just adding to my confusion.
haha, thanks! :) Seiko silver panda can be an option, It is really well finished.
Killer videography ❤
That vintage looking Timex looked good in the vintage Corvette.
ahah! true :D
Great video
Value for money, the Orient is great!
The Glycine is very hard to find lately, and there are people asking the value of a Seiko Speedmaster.... crazy.
The citizen is a beautiful watch! It’s been added to my candidate list
Oooof, that glycene i sooo pretty!
My favorite Daytona homages under $250 are the Alpha 1993, Tactical Frog, and San Martin SN0026-G-JS.
Those are solid alternatives as well. yes :)
In my opinion, the reverse panda Q Timex chrono looks the best, is extremely affordable, and hides the date window the best of all the options here. Thanks for the list!! If you're willing to spend $100 - 200 more (you can find them for $350 - 450 all over the secondary markets), the Seiko Speedtimers are fantastic options as well.
What was the white rubber strap on the orient? What a combo that was.
Subscribed to your channel after watching a few times. Very good indeed so thank you! I've got a couple of Daytona pandas' but they're all 39mm-40mm, way too small for me. Think I'll order the Glycine (sp)?
Does any other Daytona Panda come to mind for great value around the 42mm size? No big deal but if one does. Thank you,I'll continue to watch!
Thank you! :) hope you enjoyed the content.
1:38 which rubber strap are you using on the Orient? Looks like a great match.
Hello, and thanks for this vid. Even if it is a quartz, the bull head chrono by Citizen is quite interesting. Thank you for introducing me to this watch that I didn't know about. And, about panda chronos, you also have, for exemple, the automatic Baltic Tricompax or the meca quartz Nivada Grenchen Chronoking.
Yes, there are a lot of appealing options in this price range. Next time I will include more :)
Nice video! May i ask where can we get the Glycine for aprox that price if you can redirect us will be much help
Given that most of us will never own a Daytona for different reasons, these are very nice options without trying emulating having one, my choice would fall on the glycine as for the specs is a great value for money, the timex is a very good looking piece and so is the orient, wish they made that glycine smaller though, thank you for the comparison, it's always very interesting see them side by side
I feel you I wish they will release a smaller version as well. The design is spot on!!
Yes, the Glycine has a nice design language. But it looks a bit bulky.
Glycine is swiss made
The Glycine is the best looking in my eyes. But I prefer a smoother sweep on the chrono hand. This will be a hard choice.
Thanks for the content, as always!
Agree. Also the size should be considered as well.
Glycine is the Winner 🏆great value for the money and the brand has a long history.
Which Panda are YOU wearing in the vid... looks good from side shots :)
I have the glycine red reverse panda. Yes, it would be better if it would be only 40m. After I watched your first video with the citizen bullhead, i immediately bought that from eBay. I have to say I wear that one more often then my omega speedmaster
Lovely comparison. Could you share what brand and model the white strap you have?
Thank you! It's from 7friends&watches. But it feels to be out of stock. 7friendsandwatches.ro/pc/curele-ceas-cauciuc/
I really LOVE the Timex Marlin Chronograph Panda, but for the love of god I cannot seem to find it out anywhere at all.
The True North Vintage Rally Timer is actually the best. I've bought 2 different ones and they are fantastic.
I love the leather band on the Timex. If you don’t mind we’re did you buy that. Again a great video, always look forward to your offerings here.
Hi, Sadly it is out of stock, it's from 7friends&watches.com
@@BraveBeaters 🙏 thanks ,the watch is out of stock too. Better luck after Xmas.
what is the lug size of orient crono? i want to change the strap
Nice selections, for me... i take the Glycine watch... looking better for me and it's Swiss Made 😁
I think they push the limit of swiss made, not sure if there is something swiss besides the movement.
What is your wrist size? I'm looking at getting the Orient Panda but my wrist is 6.3"
I’m interested in the Glyceine.
Я купил Timex Marlin Chronograph⌚😃
And what about Invicta Speedway? Less than 100 eur, I think it has a big value/money ratio. Good job, I love your production
After waiting 10 months in europe for rhe timex Q to return to stock, i eneded fed up, and went for the REVELOT R8 Racer...no regrets.
Solid piece, I know the watch ;)
@@BraveBeatersthanks for your awesome productions and wise advices, as a citizen man, i was not aware of that bullhead reissue...you made my day 😅
Excuse me, which strap is the one at 1:37? Looks like a really nice light grey tropical strap? Which is the brand of the strap please?
Hi, it's a 7friends&watches strap 7friendsandwatches.com/pc/rubber-watch-straps/
I think this particular model is out of stock
Glycine is my pic. I've got an 8.75 inch wrist and I hide a 12oz can in my hand. I can get away with some huge watches and it doesn't look out of place. Second pic is the reverse panda
Orient is quality but Timex look better, little old style, beautiful!
cant find the glycine anywhere in the uk
Orient ❤
Can’t seem to find that glycine unfortunately…
Can you make video about new Tissot PR 100 Quartz T150.410.11.041.00 ?
I should review this model and the Gentleman. yes. I will try to source one :)
thanks, but Ill just stick with my $25 PD-1644
Hey, I love the Glycine Chrono but wasn’t able to find it online. Do you know where you can buy it in europe?
It’s been discontinued already.
@@dimitripaooh, that’s a pity, I love Glycine
Yeah that one was a cracker for the money and great options to chose from
In terms of colours, I reached out to glycine and they said it’s been discontinued with no plans for more, very disappointing.
The citizen is the BEST!!!, the other ones do not count twelve hours in the chrono. Just only the same movement counting 24 hours…. Forget it the other ones are the same than…. Pagani, so ….. you should know this and explained to the people….😂
Where to buy the Glycine for $219?
Where I can buy? Can you give me links?
Can anyone tell me, How can I buy Timex Marlin Panda in India ??
Anybody knows where I can buy glycine combat sub?
why isnt the seiko prospex speedtimer not here
im dissapointed
Great video as usual my friend. Really loving the Glycine. By the way, what is the music you used for this video? It's the perfect background sound. Drew me right in 😊.
haha, finally I found a good one where people do not complain about it. "Sémø - Fractured Timeline" is the name of it.
🐼
I can’t find the glycine anywhere to buy….. 😢
ebay
@@BraveBeaters just double-checked, there are watches but this exact glycine model is out of stock everywhere i saw, i even searched on google and the one on ebay was but of stock also. But its alright i’ll just wait for a restock if it comes
It has been discontinued, and no plans for more according to glycine.
@@dimitripao that may explain the glycine x invicta chronograph watch i saw, i had read something about invicta owning glycine, might as well just give up
Forgot pagani & stuhrling
Still a Seiko speedtimer for me but I admit I am not being objective.
haha, true! I wanted one as well but I couldn't justify the retail price + vat.
Orient
IMO Orient Has a better Panda Daytona Homage, the Neo 70 with no diver's bezel . You Just need to Replace the bracelet with a Rally leather strap...
Yes, I feel you.
Seiko SSC813
"No pagani designs around here" - I believe this is a huge mistake. I own two of them (both bought for around $100 and less) which are of great build quality and they BOTH run at -3 + 3 seconds a day accuracy! If you can show me a watch for the same price (or around that) with better features and better or the same accuracy, I am all ears?
They should be running that per month not per day. All my Seiko powered chronos including my PDs I have are 3-5 seconds a month.
Paganis are good watches.....
I do not deny that :)
The timex is cool but the date box is an eye sore
I honestly can't see a single reason why you would go for anything except Orient. Sapphire, solar, probably the best looking design and loom out of all the models, and still for the same price. The Timex ones are insulting for having you pay that much for a basic quartz with mineral crystal.
My issue with the Orient is that it is a diver with a chronograph. I am of the opinion that chronographs should have tachymeters, not a dive bezel. Just my opinion though. Aesthetically it looks great and I love Orient as a brand, but that is the reason that I wouldn’t buy this particular model. If they made this into a true racing chronograph I would buy it immediately.
@@josephc30 i completely get it. But at the same time I feel like almost no one knows or bothers to use the tachymeter so this is a great alternative. But yeah, its quite strange for a chrono to not have it
And the glycine is just out of stock in the whole internet
Unfortunately these are the worst watches to tell the time on. That legibility is terrible.
That's actually true. :)
