    No doubt about it: I truly love the Bulova Super Seville. That was actually my grail watch. My budget regarding watches is not big. I could never buy a Rolex with good conscience and I am fine with it. I own some Seikos, Orients, Casios, etc. but I started really loving the Rolex Day Date look, when I got into watches. I looked for affordable alternatives, but none of them displayed that same look that I loved about the Rolex Day Date 18039 with the thin long indices, the fluted bezel, the magnifier and the president bracelet, until I discovered the Bulova Super Seville in stainless steel with the blue sunburst dial. It was love on first sight. I have literally been thinking about more than 1 year to get it, but prices were quite high on ebay and the blue one was quite rare. And then I finally got one in perfect condition on chrono24. It felt amazing to finally have a watch on your wrist that you were thinking about for so long.

Finally, I have a watch from a brand that is called Oniss, they have a homage day date with an ETA movement and mine has an oyster bracelet, not the president style bracelet. It is 2 tones as well with a mother of pearl dial and roman markers. I'm glad I got these years ago, as time change and models either are gone or if they are still been made, they will be changed or cheaply made.

    I have a vintage 70s Bulova Super Seville Day-Date in 2-tone with the diamonds for the indices. I adore it so much. It feels amazing, has a great look and that sweep is so smooth. For me - it's always the Bulova. Exccellent reviews as always

    The Orient President!. I thought it was a watch for old people back then. Now looks stunning to me 😸

    I own the Orient “President” and I absolutely LOVE ❤️ IT!!! I know I’m gonna catch some real heat from the watch snob world but so what! This piece was gifted to me by my wife and children for Christmas of 2019 but I also have the Hamilton “Khaki King” that was gifted to me for Christmas of 2018 by wife wife and children and I love ❤️ that piece equally

    I've been watching your videos on a binge lately and it's great content. Subbed. And the intros are genius as well, keep up the good work! ;)

    Hey man, love the videos. Off-topic Question. I bought a Sinn 856 S non-UTC and wanted to put a 22mm nato on it. Does this work on the 20mm Sinn? What's your experience with fitting thicker nato straps on thinner lugs?

    I’m not a Breitling fan normally because they’re so busy, but that Transocean is phenomenal. Definitely something worth picking up.

    Great video. Have been looking lately for a DJ 16234 and in my search came upon the Tudor and Bulova Day Dates. Very intriguing indeed.

    I was actually undecided whether to get the Orient President or a Seiko5 SNK357K1. In the end I went for the Seiko as the Orient, while looking more refined, has that feeling of being a blatant copy.

      As expected, I like your style fratello. Outstanding choice.
      Spero tutto e bene con te.

    I have the Seiko SNK355, white dial. Very tastefully designed watch, with lots of little "5" shields in the dial - but quite discreetly i think.

    I would like to hear your reviews/comments about LORUS and Hanowa, because I haven't found anything about those brands in your videos. Nice channel, keep up the good work.

    A vintage 1973 Seiko DX 6106-7047. Stainless case, gold fluted bezel, silver dial, gold hanfs, applied markers and framed day / date window.

      VERY nice! I just googled it.
      Great suggestion, thank you for sharing that.

    Just so happy because I managed to get my hands on a very nice two tone Bulova Super Seville with champagne dial from 1979. Not a single bit of gold has worn off on either the bracelet or bezel, by the bracelet it looks like it has been worn very little. I'm a bit of a box-ticker, even though that's not what I base my purchases on, but the fantasy of having that 36mm fluted bezel President experience has been haunting me for years (even before I got into watches, the Rolex Day-Date has always been like THE boss of watches to me, even back when I barley knew it was a Rolex). And as I only have new-money and not yet ready to spend Rolex money on a 36mm dress watch I will mainly wear to dinner parties, dates, and maybe some poker games, this bomb version of the Super Seville I will wear with pride. Btw, many of the players I play poker with are watch geeks, and there's often both Rolex, Omega and Breitlings on the wrists around the table, me being the underdog usually with the PRX p80, or a Hamilton Khaki Navy Scuba (also day-date, but mainly my work beater). Watches are so damn fun. Also, happy new year TGV. Cheers.

    What not many know is that Tudor made a reissue of the old Prince Date+Day available from Tudor in Hong Kong and Japan. Brand new, but the same old design of the vintage ones. Using a VPN you can find it on Tudors website. It also has both date and day quickset.
