    A good alternatives to that Maen Moonphase is the Federique Constant Moneta Moonphase. A quartz movement might be more practical for a Moonphase watch so that it doesn't need to be set often.

      @@dressing2877 never had any other than the Zenshin, but when I was at the dealer they all seemed really close regarding their footprint. However, the feel from the Zenshin feels different due to its bracelet and its weight, but that seems like a personal preference. If you have the opportunity go to a store and try them, go with the one suits you the best

    Great choices! I only take issue with you crediting TAG/Heuer as the inventors of the automatic chronograph. That honor goes to our friends at Seiko, who had their speedtimers on shelves months before Heuer/Breitling/Hamilton managed to get the Caliber 11s out the door...and the Caliber 11 movement was such a mess that even the companies that developed it ended up switching over to Valjouxs within a few years...

    A great alternative to that ancient pretty cheap(?) ($155 on Amazon) (+ the cost of a bracelet or strap) 5 series Seiko is the $120 Watchdives WD1016 Explorer type mecha quartz 100WR sapphire crystal applied markers BGW9 lume monster category killer. I have reverence for the Seiko 5 series, and if you don’t have one, that one is a good one. But I have one already and I’m not in a collect-em-all mood. One and done.

    Great video as always, relaxing and informative. I never, ever, ever thought I’d be craving a…..Timex. I just bought the Legacy Tonneau, silver dial chronograph. I was partly swayed by your Timex Q videos, thanks. It (the Tonneau) has sold out on the TMX website, and for £130 from Amazon (USD 150?), it was in the basket and shipped forthwith. A new category or video - vintage inspiration at all price levels? Let’s not judge bracelets and straps, they can be swapped 😂

    Above $5k subjective characteristics become more important. That’s why a Tudor will usually beat out more expensive watche brands. Longines vs Tudor is a same cost class comparison. Omega vs Tudor is not and the subjective characteristics become more important for the Omega.
