I really like the Breitling, it merges the dive watch form with a luxury watch aesthetic, not an easy feat. The blue is stunning, and dark enough that you could get away with wearing it as an evening watch.
Inflation is killing my budget and my salary, I can't invest and it seems like I will need to sell a part of my stock portfolio to keep my head above the water this time. "Stock and Crypto"

The SuperOcean is eye candy but I wish it didn’t have that date window. At least the 44mm version matches the dial color on the date window so it’s less distracting.
Glashütte Original seventies Panorama Date “TV screen” is one the best watches ever made. Unbelievable Quality of watch making. You stare the dial but you don’t know the time, like a magic.
I’m seriously considering that GO panodate for my next purchase, it’s down to that, a Reverso, or an Octo. Depends on how each wears. That Omega world timer, though…
That’s an underrated watch. The AR is really good, the Tudor base movement is nice to wind, has good power reserve, the design is somewhat in its own class.
Excellent choices! I especially loved the part where your sweet little daughter walked in….beautiful stuff and I have a curiously inquisitive 4 year old boy who is already asking for my watch collection when I die Lol
You’re daughter would be delighted you bought the orange Seiko again and kept it for her. They’re not young very long! Often have to pinch myself as my wee girl is now 23. 😄
I like the Breitling and the Oris. Others on the list are also beautiful. My personal favorite from my own collection is my GS High-beat GMT SBGJ 237. A bit biased toward the divers but slowly becoming more civilized! Thanks for the video, Bruce!
I love these videos. Really nice getting outside the norm of just rolex rolex rolex. Nice seeing some love to other brands and ideas for trying new pieces
Agree on the G.O. I own that watch with the blue dial when they first came out. It's spectacular in light constantly changing color. The arrowhead hour markers also scatter light everywhere. Best adjustable clasp in the industry. It's my fav watch, although I don't tell the others that.
All amazing watches on this list, but I think the Blue Tudor Pelagos has an huge presence on the wrist. Not a bling watch, but a huge presence nonetheless.
Love the dad life interruptions. Don't ever apologize for them. I think Oris and Glashutte make some of the most underrated dials these days. Also Zenith is coming on so strong these days. Gonna have to pick one up eventually.
Great stuff Bruce. Awesome to see the 4 year old. I recently found out I’ll be having my first child soon and I’m super excited. I found a “R is for Rolex” ABC book I’ll be picking up. You started off on the right foot right away with Breitling. When I think wrist presence I think Breitling and it’s not just the size but the way their polish looks and overall case/designs. If I’m at the mall I can spot a Breitling from 100ft away.
I would agree. I have a gray dial, and for the first time even, I'm contemplating buying another version of the same watch. The white 300m on a black rubber is sensational.
Really enjoyed that particular video ! Great subject. That hard to explain factor you call wrist presence is THE most important reason why I over pay for those small metallic objects .
Great video! I've got a Seiko SRPA21 PADI that always catches my eye when I'm wearing it. I've also got a Seiko SRPE37K that I'm always staring at the dial and bezel on, just wish I could find a bracelet that I love for it.
The two watches that stood out for me were the Breitling and the Glashütte Original. The quality of the GO looks incredible. I realise the finishing of the Grand Seiko is exceptional too but I just don’t get excited by their designs. Enjoyed the video!
Amazing choices all - I really love your Zenith. That said, in my heart, that Oris Hangang 한강 speaks to me... I think I mentioned that I used to live nearby the Han River (Gang, 강 is river in Korean) and used to ride my bike along the river with my friends. My wife was just telling me all her life in Korea, she lived near the Han River. She told me some stories about some bad flooding when she was young! By the way, she said I should buy that watch. I'm taking it as permission! Haha! Anyway, great choices all!!!
Great pickings. As you said, appreciation in terms of wrist presence is always a qualitative and subjective aspect. Most people hate the Cellini line without never handling one before, but man when you have the XL 4243 Danaos 38mm yellow gold track dial in your wrist, you can't help but smile. The video's highlight was your lovely daughter. Congratulations!
Nice video, Bruce👍. All nice picks. This is a dress watch and kind of an oldy but goody- I tried on a rose gold Lange 1 and the dial placement gave it great wrist presence.
Regarding wrist presence, something I didn't see in the selection. Two tone, gold and steel watches. Although a matter of personal taste something about two tone watches that inherently draw the eyes of a passerby. Bluesy and Root beer would be on my list.
Generally speaking, light/white dials have more wrist presence that belies their size. Case in point, I have a vintage 34mm OP with a white dial that has the same wrist presence as the BB58 I tried on yesterday in spite of being 5mm different in size.
I'm not one for "expensive" watches. I have a couple of affordable G-Shocks. Last year while passing a key cutting shop, my eye was drawn to a beautiful looking orange faced watch in the window. I went in to enquire and the guy told me it was a fake Seiko. I was really disappointed. Since that day I can't stop looking at nice watches ,so when Christmas came around I couldn't resist and picked up a Seiko 5 sport. I've heard it called "the gateway watch" lol. What have I done?! :) I see why your girl was upset over that Turtle.
Great video and interesting/fun assortment of watches. I am curious which you would add to your collection if you had to choose? You have owned numerous watches so it is an interesting question to me. I would probably take the Piaget first. It has always been a great looking watch. GO a close second. Thanks again.
No doubt about it - that Glashutte Original Seventies Panorama Data is the best looking one of them all, both front and back. No stupid magnifying glasses necessary with that large easy-to-read date. Simple, gorgeous.
Hey Bruce! I bought the seiko right after watching your video. It's awesome 👌 thanks for your advise. I also got the omega worldtimer. I think u have a great taste man, what is Ur wrist size?
Been waiting for that exact (!) GO Seventies for half a year; and now it's ready at the retailer. Been my dream watch for many, many years. Thanks for sharing (and adding to) my enthusiasm and putting words to something really hard to express. It's all so subjective, but you hit it bang on! Great job! Thank you!
Really inspiring Bruce Thank you for opening our minds to BEST POSSIBLE alternative to hype models, staying true to your deep feelings and beliefs Genuine content.
Great subject. Exactly what I was looking for 💛 People doesn’t realize how important is the wrist presence. In my opinion GS White-birch best looking watch. Your father in law is a man of good taste
I have the Glashutte Seventies Chrono. Amazing watch, you won’t regret getting a seventies, and I think it has a presence all its own. GP laureate is good too!
Funny, I like my retro SM300 because it's subtle and folks don't really notice it... Got a few with high wrist presence ( Laco Flieger, because it's big, Manta ray king Turtle) & got a Pogue on its way which I think will probably stand out on wrist more. Excellent video, thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
😍😍 Darn Bruce that was awesome entries... Love that Glashutte Original. About time we need something other than Swiss design. Love that retro and TV design look and impressive bracelet., 😍👍👍 Man my wallet is going thin IF I keep watching this channel 🤣
Great video as usual Bruce...loved the guest appearance. The Zenith Defy is so striking, I just love that watch. I hear it is being discontinued and not only is it getting harder to find at under 6K but it is becoming hard to find period. I purchased one the beginning of Dec and it was just shipped as the AD was waiting for it come in. Can't wait to get it on my wrist. Thanks again for sharing you love of the hobby.
Man I had a similar experience. I bought a black ceramic one at the end of December and they just received it from their supplier. I checked the website again and now the estimated shipping time is 2 to 4 months. It's crazy that Zenith would discontinue such a beloved product. I don't even give a crap if the price goes up in second hand market later cause this is not a watch I'd sell in a million years.
I just received my Defy Classic last week. So it literally took 4-weeks for me to receive it. But the wait was worth it. This is definitely a beautiful.
I’d say I love the Omega AT Worldtimer that you presented is my favorite. I’ve tried one on, so it also probably screams to me as my favorite wrist presence for myself. I’ve also tried on the Cartier Santos..l which I didn’t expect to like, but it hit me right away. So that one is probably tied, for me. Both are on my desired list.
Don't laugh, but as a Seiko fan and a diver I have a lot of dive watches including the iconic 1975 Tuna. Anyway I saw a Tuna homage, a yellow dial Steeldive SD1975 tuna with NH35A movement. Yes a Chinese one I bought from Steeldive UK, their European outlet. And as well as bring a good diver , 300m wr sapphire crystal, brilliant lume and boy does it have wrist presence! I have more expensive watches but for wrist presence nothing has beaten it for having the type of presence that people keep commenting on it and asking about it. If Seiko had a yellow Tuna I would have preferred it, but they don't and I just love this yellow watch on a yellow rubber strap. 💛 I also have that GS!
Did you try wearing the omega gmt in a long sleeves? GMTs and omega watches tend to be on the thicker side and I'm just curious if it could still slip under a cuff. Also, your kid is adorable!
Great video Bruce. From your list I'd have to agree with the Omega that is a work of art and the in this company anyway the Oris. Unfortunately I don't have either. The Defy is one that periodically ambles on my list but so far has not made it to the top. A recent addition to my collection that I'd add to my list would be the Rado Truesquare open heart in black. Just to look at it ticking and the charge of the mainspring is a joy and to me anyway one of the most readable skeleton dial watches that I've seen. Looking forward to the next one Bruce!
In complete agreement with Oris Aquis Hangang, as it just works! It would have been great though if you could have added an Orient Star GMT, it is one of the better ones from the line...
My vote is for the Omega Worldtimer, but the Zenith is an incredible value!!! That amazing tech for $5k!!...Also, when you flip your GO you haven't purchased yet, hit me up....lol..flipper for life!
The orange/silver Seiko turtle was a winner. Grand Seiko dial plus hi-beat movement is nice! But the Zenith I almost bought. I am still watching. The watch that got me in person was a Brequet type XX in rose gold with brown dial with croc strap.
Omega Aqua Terra WorldTimer hands down - it’s stunning!! Such a joy every time I look down at my wrist when I’m wearing it!!
I really like the Breitling, it merges the dive watch form with a luxury watch aesthetic, not an easy feat. The blue is stunning, and dark enough that you could get away with wearing it as an evening watch.
The white dial is nice too, but so is black and blue. It’s a good looking watch.
Rolex watches are topnotch, I love it

I’m seriously considering that GO panodate for my next purchase, it’s down to that, a Reverso, or an Octo. Depends on how each wears.
That Omega world timer, though…
your cute lil daughter showing up is the best thing about this video! 😻
Visited a Watches of Switzerland and had the chance to play with the Breitling Superocean Heritage. It is very eye catching and not too expensive.
That’s an underrated watch. The AR is really good, the Tudor base movement is nice to wind, has good power reserve, the design is somewhat in its own class.

Yes! Thank you! The AT Worldtimer is a head -turner.
The grand seiko was my favorite by far. Piaget, damn nice though. Second place for that one. Great episode
My Seiko SBDC 127 (MM200)on bracelet has great wrist presence with the size, angled case and blue dial. Love wearing it!
Dude got a nice taste🔥
Initially I didn't liked my Tissot but now I really like it.
Hi Bruce !What are you honest thoughts on the SKX011 aka the orange boy?
Great subject. Exactly what I was looking for 💛 People doesn’t realize how important is the wrist presence. In my opinion GS White-birch best looking watch. Your father in law is a man of good taste

The macro of the Oris seemed to show very rough work. True?
Love all of them, especially the ORIS. I'm new to Oris and last year purchased an Aquis (Star Wars).
Great video! What do you do that you can afford all these amazing watches?!
I've just got the Turtle with the green waffle dial. Love it!
PIAGET is under rated does not get enough love....classic brand...Federico always touted this brand as a fav.
Ah Bruce I don't want to sell my Breitling now!
Great choice of watches.
The omega, oris, seiko, breitling are stunning !... for me lol !.. Hi from France !
Funny, I like my retro SM300 because it's subtle and folks don't really notice it... Got a few with high wrist presence ( Laco Flieger, because it's big, Manta ray king Turtle) & got a Pogue on its way which I think will probably stand out on wrist more.

😍😍 Darn Bruce that was awesome entries... Love that Glashutte Original. About time we need something other than Swiss design. Love that retro and TV design look and impressive bracelet., 😍👍👍 Man my wallet is going thin IF I keep watching this channel 🤣
In my opinion, the three that would capture my attention are the:
1. Zenith
2. Glasshutte
3. IWC
Great list, Bruce. It's hard to choose only one, because they all look amazing. It's always a pleasure when one of your daughters came in and say .
Hi Bruce, great content as usual ! I would have added the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms as well, but that's just me. Happy new Year, Patrick

Most definitely.
I'm surprised the Oris Hangang made the list. It is eye catchy without being gaudy. I have one but I've never worn it.
No. 8 the Defy cause it will be my next watch 😉
I forgot this channel existed.
The Fanta/Nemo Turtle is something amazing, especially on a Angus Jubilee bracelet
Perfect video! Exactly what watch wearing is about and I love that no Rolex watches made it :)
Thank you for presentation. Stay healthy everybody.

How dare you! 😂 I love some of those big invicta monstrosities, certain ones.
That Glashutte is pretty nice.
Yeahhhh good video ‼️‼️
i had 2 rolex and 2 tissot watches i gave them away
VC Overseas in blue would be my pick
No Bluesy???
Oris Aquis Date Upcycle.
Also has a great environment cause.
GO is so awesome 😍
Bruce I remember you saying you loved custom shoes, have you ever been down the cowboy boot rabbit hole?
Glashutte and Zenith are my favorites
All great watches, but the AT Worldtimer and Zenith steal the show!
The Oris was nice to stare at
The orange/silver Seiko turtle was a winner. Grand Seiko dial plus hi-beat movement is nice! But the Zenith I almost bought. I am still watching. The watch that got me in person was a Brequet type XX in rose gold with brown dial with croc strap.
Type XX in rose gold sounds exquisite. Will search for it online.
@@eyeheartsushi2212 it was a real show stopper 😑
My vote goes to the Oris!
