@@lrbrown Oh I kinda need some direction too lol
Thanks had to look at the srpf53 a couple of times and ended up buying one
@@bryanwhite3021How do you like the SRPF53
Thank you
I've always placed the Tissot Gentlemen well above the PRX fashion watch.
That Mido with the vertically patterned dial is quite handsome.
I was in Japan last week and stopped by the Grand Seiko Boutique. There's a new Astron with a blue dial that just POPS and spoke to me, so I picked it up. It's nice to see a bright blue dial, as it seems "Midnight Blue" is the rave, and frankly just looks black in most lighting situations. It fits this category as is under $1000 and is the ever popular integrated bracelet style. I never thought I'd pick up an Astron, but the dial is phenomenal!
I looked up what I think it’s the blue Astron you’re referring to, but it’s listed at $1,600. Regardless, it looks fantastic.
@@eyeheartsushi2212 it was under 1K when it was all said and done - 20% discount from the AD (I didn't buy it at the boutique), plus duty free for me. I know I'm still in the honeymoon phase, but I really love this watch!
Zelos Aurora Moonphase is beautiful with the dial shown in this video. Zelos have been killing it for years...
Couldn't agree more! Absolutely love Zelos, can't wait for the Aurora's next month!
@@stevie3416 the MOP and Damascus looks amazing
Love that you gave the Tissot Gentleman a shout out. It was my first automatic watch bought thanks to your review.
I really like the silver dial on the Tissot Le Locle Powermatic 80. It’s simple, has some texture, and is a classic beauty.
Is this telegram post legit?
I have two Gentleman. The green dial (my wedding watch) and a black dial (both with the crosshairs). You are absolutely right about the indexes and their finishing. It was one of the first things I noticed when I first handled the watch. The green dial has become a semi-daily wearer for me, and I couldn't be happier with it
Doesn’t the green ruin the outfit?cuz it’s well green 😅
Personally I own Seiko SRPF41 a.k.a Matcha dial. It's so beautiful to just look at. You mentioned older sister, SRPF53. Good to hear Seiko Cocktail Time family in this video! ❤
My favorite Presage dial. Tough to find!
Recently bought the Farer Mansfield; beautiful unique green shade, no complication, green strap. Number 3 in my rotation after Grand Seiko SBGA007 and Tudor BB58
I always love how you can find such good finds in both mainstream and micros. Excellent content
a lot of collectors are increasingly getting pissed over limited editions
I love my tissot gentleman! Absolute class watch. Anyone will be happy with it. 11/10 would recommend.
Teddy, glad you shone your spotlight on the “Negroni”. I own one a love it’s dial colour/texture and size. I wear it for evenings out/parties and get lots of comments ⌚️👍🏼
That Nodus is pretty 😍
I just saw the Farer and the Baltic in person at the Windup watch fair. They are both very nice, but that Farer Sorbet really stands out. Such a fun and surprising versatile watch. It might even be considered a modern classic at some point.
Same here, in person really does both justice. The Baltic reminds me of a Cartier Crash with the elongated numerals, but the 3D effect Farer achieves on even the non-lume Erebus Midnight is super impressive - the second hand for example really pops
The Tissot Gentleman (in blue) is one of my favorites I own. Dress up, dress down, spec and strap monster, killer dial, etc….for the money it’s hard to beat.
I would call out Lorier who always have something in the range with an interesting dial. You have the Falcon with that waffle dial, the Zephyr with that textured guillochet dial, and the yet to be released Astra looks fantastic with that circular lume track.
I have a green dial Tissot Gentleman and it is mesmerizing. It's the best looking watch in my collection
All great watches. I own 2 Tissot Gentleman and a brand new PRX 35mm. The finish is exceptional. The Gentleman has nothing to envy to a Longines Conquest that costs more than twice (1300 vs 600). If the Gentleman was made in 39mm or 38mm would be THE perfect watch. I think people look down to Tissot because of the price.
Yes, the Tissot Gentleman!!! The panda version of the Bulova Lunar Pilot will get you some attention.
Seiko SSA413 is very forgotten in these lists in my opinion. The open heart acts as the epicenter of the ripples reminiscent of ocean waves on a zen garden. It's beyond beatiful and understated.
New to watches, but I am now obsessed with the Zelos!
I’m so happy to be over this stage of becoming a collector, you buy everything and sell at a huge loss. Maybe pick one or two and save for the inevitable upswing in the desire to get upstream.
I know what you mean. I skipped that stage and went straight to Tudor, Omega, and Breitling (although I might sell my Breitling). Still, the Tissot Gentleman is a very good looking watch.
The Citizen NB1060-12L deserves to be on this list too
Shhh want to keep that one a secret, such an incredible dial. Really wish I could see the white dial in person too
This video made me buy a seiko srpf53. Dont care to much for the bracelet but that close up shot 8:11 was incredible and made me do it. I have a green dial gentleman and it is very gorgeous, hits well above it's price point. Dials are very important to me
I’m actually want to get one of these two..what do you recommend??
I recently got a Tissot Ballade and the dial has a couple of different finishes. Very nice watch for the price.
I got the Tissot gentleman powermatic 80 silicium for my 15th birthday from my dad and I love it so much
The Gentleman is a class apart. Wife wanted my wrist to have an open heart, so I got the open heart version (wife happy, I happy lol). Couldn't agree more that it is arguably the best for under a 1000 dollars.
grow a pair.. your wrist not hers
@@tdatp Incel moment
Yeah Tissot Gentleman is so good. Clean and nice, I went with the quartz cause automatic was outta budget, dont wanna spend close to 1k for my first watch
@@tdatpare you married ?
If only they made a 38mm variant. 40mm is way too big for the average wrist size (165mm)
Citizen is missing on this list specially with the NB1060 models. Gorgeous dials and case finishing! Well under $1000
I have the Mido Multifort Gent and I love how easily I'm able to wear it up or down depending on the occasion. A visual feast to look at close up too. Great collection mentioned here 👌
Teddy wearing a down-to-earth PRX soothes my soul
The dial on that Presage SRPE41 is beautiful.
Gorgeous dials! As for that mido, only time ive seen something similar done is eith the Maen Manhatten 37
I absolutely love my Gentlemen.
Puts a smile on my face every time I strap it on.
Have the Rolex and Grand Seiko equivalents so it’s not a money thing, it’s a watch thing.
They really should release a three fold clasp version with a brushed finish and colour matched date window maybe.
Have a PRX Quartz too, sorry to burst the hype train bubble, but it’s simply not in the same league (even if it was the lesser spec’d Auto) as the Gentleman.
I tried both the PRX and the Gentleman and came to the same conclusion as you did.
I have the tissot gentleman, Powermatic 80 and can genuinely say that it is the best every day watch I’ve seen. That includes allowing you to get into Swiss watches for much less and if you’re on a budget still having something to execute everything you need at the beginning of a career. And I say that as someone who’s been in his career for more than 20 years.
Hey, thanks for sharing. What swayed you to pay that little bit extra over the PRX? I'm debating between the two myself to fulfill that intro to Swiss watches/do it all type piece as you mentioned.
@@Bkesal14I was also debating the Prx but ended up picking the gentleman. I picked it mainly because it goes with more. I think that the Prx was just a little bit too dressy for me.
I love my Negroni and have it as a part of my office rotation
You been killing it with the vids lately. Keep it up! Every time you upload recently, I find myself saying "I didnt know I needed to know this, but I wanna know it"
I really dig the Bulova Lunar Pilot but that thing is huge! At 43.5mm, the thing would be a spaceship on my wrist
If you can't get your hands on a Zelos, I recommend the Selten 00.04 Aventurine. Absolutely stunning dial. Also the RZE endeavor glacier models are like a GS White Birch dial in a titanium dive case. Great go anywhere piece.
Interesting watch
What about the upcoming Direnzo DRZ 02R Aerolite? Bowl shape, sandwich style dial with an interesting case from a microbrand for under $1000
Wow that one looks great!
I wore my Gentleman all last week. So classy. I would have to go to an Aqua Terra or OP to replace it, there isn’t much in between. Even wore it for an interview. I have the blue dial and silver dial, both are excellent. I have a BB36 which is also excellent and more versatile but not as blingy.
I have a green auto gentleman and it is nuts. Amazing for the price point. Absolute showstopper
I’m thinking about getting the blue dial Gentleman.
That farer is super cool!
Tissot v8 is underrated in my opinion. Quite big for my wrist but love the dial
Love these videos and your no pressure approach to explaining the watches. Thanks
Teddy: "it's amazing to see the aventurine dial at the Zelos' price point"
Me:
I truly recommend you guys give some of the Chinese manufacturers a chance, because they can deliver unbelievable value for money and their watches are not always rip-offs of classic, popular designs.
Great video, Teddy, I always like to check out some great looking dials.
Really like the Seiko Negroni, and the Baltic.
Never heard of Nodus before, but I’m off to check them out now! Wonder if they ship to the UK…🤔
Insert clip of Kevin O'Leary saying over and over, "You know me, Teddy. I'm all about the dial!"
“I’m a dial guy. Need color dials for my colleccione.” 😂😂😂
@@eyeheartsushi2212 HA! Oh, I HATE it when he says "colleccione!" 😆😆
I would petition the Seiko SARX055 to be on the list! “Snowflake” dial, titanium case for under $1k!!
I think a lot of Brew dials make it in this category too. the retrograph and the metric are pretty awesome dials for under 1K
Teddy a saturday in the morning?, nice
Thanks again for all the great videos and info. I splashed out of an Gentleman with the Anthracite dial for a “I got a new job” present to myself, and haven’t taken it off since I got it!
I just love the Max Bill Junghans Form A dial.
The 35mm Tissot PRX? Finally! My little sister has been waiting for a watch that will fit her wrist. 😂
Awesome line up! Some really cool dials here!
I finally got a Tissot Gentleman (Black) after putting it off a for a while. Great office watch and those faceted indices really catch the light. Simple, reasonably priced, and well executed.
The nodus reminds me of vinyl siding
I wish that either Gentleman didn’t have the PCL or the PRX had the Gentleman’s dial
The Nodus Unity looks like a vintage sofa. I love it!
I just purchased the Farer Dunham and I just can't take my eyes off the dial. Farer hit it out of the park with the Dunham.
These nodus and zelos watches are really growing on me. The Baltic is also really cool but I already have 2 micro rotor watches; a horage supersede and a VC overseas dual timer.
Much appreciated, great idea for a segment.
I got myself the le locle and boy do I regret not getting the gentleman instead
Man the thumbnail choices you have for this video make for a sweet affordable and impressive three watch collection.
great deep review like always! bought my blue Gentleman today after watching your review, my first swiss, I think I'm off to a good start! I'm looking forward to putting it on my wrist.
Congrats. I want to get one as well.
I wonder why tissot stopped putting the silicium movement in the more recent models. prx doesn't have it. seastar used to have it but stopped. ironically, some of the normal seastar models have the silicon hairspring while the expensive $1000+ seastar doesn't have the silicium. I wonder if the swatch group ordered them to limit the silicium movement.
Hi Ted: I have a Tissot Gentleman (in green dial) and it is a beautiful watch that punches way above it's weight. Though I understand why Tissot is putting time and effort into the PRX. I wonder what plans they have for the Gentleman line? Maybe...a GMT???
The blue Khaki Pioneer is especially striking.
Great vid Teddy. I have a the green Gentleman and its such a great watch for the money. Looks great - keeps crazy accurate time and makes me smile wearing it.
The Nodus Unity is very nice. The color matched ceramic insert is there as part of the aesthetic. It's not a five watch. It steps up perfectly from the edge to the crystal and will deter desk and similar scratches that steel can't. It feels great on the wrist. The applied markers surrounding the cutouts on the dial are also a Nodus signature. They did this on their Duality years ago.
Citizen NB3020-16W and the other silver foil variants are hard to beat under $1000 imo
Fiancee got the Resolute Sorbet for me for our engagement, I love it. Looks awesome with the octane strap
Funny, I think my original message was deleted, probably because of the link, I'll edit without them:
Thanks for showing these off, actually last week, I was hesitating exactly between the Seiko SRPE41 "Negroni" and the Gentleman (in white) for about the same price. I've finally chosen the Gentleman as it seemed more versatile for everyday wear.
But I really love the dial of the Seiko, it packed quite a punch for its price, and I like the smaller size, but I felt like you couldn't wear this deep red watch with most things. Maybe I am not enough of a dandy. :)
I’d say you chose wisely. At the end of the day, versatility is important.
The Seiko Presage with dark red dial looks like the next best thing to an anOrdain.
Normally dial color-matched date windows work, but Nodus messed up with the date text color. It’s essentially unreadable. Might as well have your usual white 3 o’clock date window
Take a look at Paulin Neo, around £400 and part finished by AnOrdain.
Another great video Teddy! I do hope that you will consider doing a video of watches between that 44-45mm watches for those of us that have bigger wrists….
Helm...awesome dive style watches with Seiko automatic movements, sapphire crystals, 6425 depth ratings..wow. Plus they come with a metal bracelet and a nato strap. All for an industry beating price of $345.00 with shipping. A couple models are less and one is more but still around $400.
The Tissot Gentleman is in my future. An that Seiko Negroni is now on my “want” list.
Looking for my first watch this really helped
Hallo Teddy, different dials that all have something unique to them. It shows what one can get in this price range that is also special. Some brands I have not heard of, so great. Thanks again, and as always, love from Switzerland 🇨🇭
I hope the little Seiko snow flake dial has a 34mm version 🔥
Definitely think the Seiko SARX055 is a worthy edition to this list. Titanium case and bracelet, textured dial somewhat reminiscent of GS dials.
IMO Seiko's SARX029 has the most beautiful glossy black dial ever made.
Not on the list and infinitely cooler than the Hamilton that made the list: the Interstellar pilot or "Cooper." I am actually wearing mine right now and, two years later, I still can't stop from staring at it. From the hands to the shimmering number indices, this dial is so great to look at.
@Teddy Can we get an episode on pocket watches??
Definitely would like to give a shout out to the Zodiac Olympos. In particular the green dial version, absolutely stunning. I got mine through Teddy Baldassarre and I've been enjoying it everyday! Thanks Teddy for a beautiful watch and great service!
I've always liked the Tissot Gentleman, and if they made one in a 36-38mm size, I'd be the first in line to buy one.
I have a Seiko Cocktail time that's called IRISH Coffee & it's dial rates right up there w/ many above thousand dollar watches.
Discovered that Hamilton Pilot Pioneer on the channel, ordered the blue version a few days later... Fantastic everyday watch, indeed a very striking dial!
Really enjoy watching your videos Teddy. Although to be honest, I sometimes spend as much time trying to google the shirt you are wearing as I do the watches you present us with. This video was no exception, though I struck out in the end.
Love the Farer, apart from the lack of a date.
Great stuff, though my vote would go the Pantheum Automatic Oculus, a dial inspired by the ancient Roman Pantheon. It's amazing for that price point.
I just bought a 38 mm Hamilton Murph and I absolutely love it!
now this kind of video is i love
Seiko mystic forest and the ginzha limited editions!
Thank you Teddy! Always the most interesting about the Watch world in a nutshell. You are the #1 horology journalist!
Hi Teddy , greetings from India.
From the brands shown in this video , only Seiko and Tissot is available in India.
I really love that Baltic though.
In the future please try making these videos region specific if possible.
Farer is a favorite brand. Great watchmaker.
At WELL under $1000 the many times mentioned on the channel, the Seagull 1963 has an incredible textured dial for $200
