From its sharp, clean lines to its unrivaled accuracy, the SBGV207 is a perfect blend of elegance and performance.
Join me as I explore:
The history and innovation behind the 9F quartz movement
A detailed breakdown of the SBGV207's design and finishing
Why quartz deserves more recognition in the world of luxury timepieces

Seiko Alpinist green dial is my all time favorite in this price range
I am sure the Alpinist is going to make the list!
Oris Big Crown would be my pick for sure
Big Crown is getting some love and I am sure will be in the top 5!
It took me a long time to gather enough information about the technology of making the movements to justify the high price for a quartz watch in my mind...Seiko did a great job improving the accuracy of quartz watches which were already quite accurate
Tudor 1926 would be my first pick
Great point and to be 100% honest I am still having a hard time with it. Given the choice I would go with the Spring Drive but if the budget doesn't allow that, Grand Seiko quartz are truly high quality "LUXURY" watches that in my opinion are worth the price even with a quartz movement. I will also note that Cartier has been very successful selling quartz watches for decades. The Tudor 1926 is a great choice!
Thanks for sharing and the opportunity. The watch I would get between 1k and 2k would be a Monta Triumph. I’ve been eyeing this brand for a super long time.
I really need to check one out, have you seen one in person? By the way, thank you so much for the support in every video, I truly appreciate it!
@@BlueCollarLuxe I support videos I like. Giveaway or no giveaway. I have not seen a Monta in person but I’ve been eyeing them since before the price has gone up this high. They used to be around $1200.
That seem to be the case with all watches. They are all getting out of control with the pricing.
Great video my friend
The Sin 556 an awesome watch, great value for the money
Thank you so much! The 556 has been picked a lot!

My pick
Cobb III MONOPUSHER GMT
Thank you so much for the very kind words!! I’ll have to check that watch out.
My first pick would be the Oris Big Crown for sure
look through the comment, you are not alone on this!
I think that Seiko Alpinist would be great pick
Looks like it will be in the top ten for sure!
Longines Hydroconquest is selling around 1.7K USD so it's one of the finest watch under 2000$
I love Longines so I agree!
I love your channel. You give out information that are straight to the point and very easy to digest. Looking forward to the growth of this channel. As for the watch I'd get for 1K-2K USD, it's either the Tissot Gentleman or the Hamilton Khaki Field Murph.
Thank you sooooooo much, that’s a wonderful compliment and truly appreciated! I’m a big fan of the Murph and have even considered buying one so great pick!
There are so many great watches in this price range, it's so hard to choose just one but if I had to choose just one it would definitely be one of the Longines watches, probably the Conquest
Can't go wrong with Longines!!!!!!!!
I would go for the Formax Essence automatic chronometer... I like the design and overall look
Very refined, looks like it should be far more expensive!
Great stuff! The christopher ward twelve titanium on rubber is my pick under 2k!
Great pick, you are going to want to see next weeks video!!!!!!!
Cool breakdown on Grand Seiko. I’m a big fan of Christopher Ward watches and The Twelve in particular for the $1k to $2k range. I’d love to see you do a review of that one.
Awesome pick! I think you will are going to like next weeks video!
I would go for the Mido Ocean Star 600
has been picked a few times!
My favorite watches between $1,000-$2,000 would be the Oak & Oscar (microbrand) Olmstead 38.
Another brand based in America that I have never heard so I had to go take a look. Kind of gives me vintage Heuer vibes and the chronos are flyback which is cool!
I would go with Longines Hydroconquest or with Oris Aquis
I like both a lot but if I had to choose I think I would go with the Longines!
In my mind, Oris Big Crown pointer date is a logic choice
A good choice for sure but there are a lot of good choices at this price point!
Here are my top 5 watches in the $0 to $2000 price range:
1. Oris Big Ceown pointer date
2. Longiner Conquest 2023
3. Sinn 556
4. Seiko SPB 381
5. Seiko Alpinist GMT
That is a great list and I am pretty sure there is no way a few of them will not make the top ten list!
FIRST.
That’s awesome, lol! Thank you so much!
congrats to the winner
Omega Constellation 1542.30.00
Great watch but using new prices it is way out of budget!
great content and giveaway buddy i want Tissot PRX Automatic Chronograph
That’s a cool watch but you have a 2k budget so you are leaving a lot of money on the table!
I Pick YEMA Superman 500 GMT
Great looking watch and I love the bracelets!
Great coverage of the GS 9F!
Something between 1-2k would be CW C60 GMT, especially the white dial.
I like that pick a lot. Be sure to watch the next Video, I think you will like it, should be live Sunday afternoon!
Just subbed to the channel
That is beautiful GS withe dial my friend
For $2000 I'd go for Oris Big Crown pointer date
Thank you so much, I truly appreciate that! Great pick on the Big Crown
Thanks for the great video my friend
The Longines Conquest 2023 is a beauty and my absolute favorit
I agree on the Conquest! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
Nomos Glashutte Tangente Midnight Blue
Great choice!
I'd go with Longines Conquest 2023 for sure...just beautiful watch
High up on my list as well, green dial!
Mido ocean star GMT Pepsi
Great Choice!
Noting can beat Tag Heuer Formula 1 for 2000$ dollars
I wouldn’t go that far but I would agree that in the 2k range Tag is a great option.
Oris Big Crown is fantastic watch in my opinion
Congratulations to the winner #4 and count me in for the next one
A lot of people have picked the Big Crown. I haven't done the numbers but as of now it looks like it is between the Sinn 556 and the Oris Big Crown.
Oris Big Crown Pointer Date
Great pick!
Junghans Max Bill Automatic
Classy watch!
Good comparison having a classic seiko next to the GS. Another Japanese watch I have and learned to appreciate at 36mm it’s the KUOE. Btw I WON !!!
please count me out for your next give away. I would go with PR516 mechanical, it’s a chunky classic like Moab cars.
Congratulations on the win!!!!!! Please email me "BlueCollarLuxe@gmail.com" and I will give you a code that I need for you to post in the comments so I can confirm it is you. Please include your name and shipping address in the email. My son brought Kuoe to my attention and I have to say that I really like them and wish they made a 40mm.
Hello Good Sir!
For me. The Microbrand watch at the 1k to 2K mark is the Ginault Ocean Rover II. The watch is an homage to Rolex 5513 (aka MilSub) that had sword hands. This particular rendition is more of an exercise on how that watch would look today if Rolex had kept it in production today. You have a mix of modern sub aspects mixed with 5 digit sub case. Great recommendation
Im not sure if know this but you won the Seiko challenge in the last video. Please email me BlueCollarLuxe@gmail.com
The work you put into these videos definitely shows through. Keep up the good work! Ive been looking at Christopher Ward a lot recently. $1-2k would probably be a Sealander GMT or. C60 Trident Lumiere on a rubber strap.
I love my sealander. But the specs of the lumiere with the new bracelet makes a powerful watch.
I think the Seiko Prospex 1965 diver would be one of my picks, its somewhere in the middle of the price range and I love the look!
I’m trying to get this watch in for review!
Great video my friend and congrats to the winner
The Seiko Prospex 1965 has been on my radar for quite some time
I have reached out to Seiko trying to get my hands on that watch for a review! Probably won't hear back from them but you never know! Thank you for commenting!
Check out the Tudor royal. Seems to be niche, but I'm absolutely in love with it. Can pick up for under 2k.
A bit over budget and a little dressy but I really like the Royal so great pick! Thank you for commenting!
Great insight into the watch. Now I want one! My pick for the 1-2k range is the Mido multifort big date 👌
Oh I really love that case design!!!!!! Thank you!
congratulations with that $$ i will get junghans max bill automatic
Classy watch, great pick!
I love the 44GS. I want to add this one to my collection.
Very nice watch!
Oris Big Crown Pointer Date
High up on the list!!
Really enjoying the content! My pick for a watch between 1k and 2k would be the Longines Hydroconquest on the upper end, and the Sinn 556 on the lower end.
Thank you so much Andy, I truly appreciate it. Great pick, I have one but to be honest I think I’d trade it for the plain Conquest. Either way Longines has to be in the mix at this price point!
@@BlueCollarLuxe I like the plain Conquest, the green one especially. Only 75 bucks over 2K, lots of watch for the money!
Love the green dial and it can be picked up on the grey market for around $1,600!!!! You lose the warranty but I think it may be worth the savings
I saveing my money to buy Seiko Alpinist GMT. Standard Seiko Alpinist is dope but GMT is perfect
The Alpinist has got a lot of love in the comments!
My picks:
1. Longines Conquest 2023
2. Oris Big Crown
3. Sinn 556
That is a solid pick 3!
Informative video. Appreciate the rearward for this. My pick would be Junghans Max Bill Automatic Bauhaus.
Pure class!
Fine vid man! I got my 1st quartz in 1977. A hybrid Seiko. Analog time keeper with a small bar on top that ran the Stop Watch, Alarm, Date, and a second completely independent digital clock. My 2nd Seiko was the 1st all analog quartz chronograph….1985. I’ve been collecting since I was 15. 1st watch was a bi-compax Heuer with a bi-directional World Timer bezel. A PERFECT 1st Officer’s watch. Handle radios, flaps, & gear. The watch would have been to track intercontinental time changes and the 30 minute totalizer for waypoints on an IFR trip. Ironically, I flew many CAP missions with all these watches and others in my flying time. Just a Cessna driver…..nothing fancy. So, oh yeah, nothing at all wrong with Quartz. I will say, I love mechanical best. Manual (like the Heuer which also did not hack) or autos. But I recently bought a Baltany for sub $200.00 USD. Quartz tri-compax with a 12 hour totalizer as well as date, running seconds, and a 60 minute totalizer. Like a VJ 7750 layout. Fine vid. I am obviously in agreement with you. I LOVE ALL watches. Time keeping is lovely. It’s like music. It measures with awesome precision a concept (time) that does not exist!
What a great read, sounds like you have had a very interesting life! What a cool watch to have as a first watch and before Tag got their paws on them! Was it the model that has a case shaped like the Seiko Turtle?
CIGA Design Mechanical Watch Series U Blue Planet Gilding Version
Is Nico affiliated with them?
Buddy we know u put in efforts...with subs under 1k coming up with Quality content every week in not cake walk...so need not mention it.
For the challenge i would love to go with Seiko Prospex Alpinist GMT SPB379J1...in India its equivalent to $1250.
Thank you so much! This watch has been getting love and is a top pick of my son as well!
I love chronograph watches so I would pick Hamilton Intra Matic panda dial
Very cool looking watch! I was just saying the other day that if this watch had a Breitling it will sell for 10K with no problem.
I love me a good Grand Seiko. As a Seiko fanatic, for that price I think I'll get the new Seiko SPB453 which is a revamped version of the legendary SPB143.
I have reached out to them to try to get my hands on one for review but I doubt they will get back to me. Never know I guess!
I would go with Casio Royal just because 😂
Great video my friend, keep up the great content
lol, you would have a lot of money left over!
Great video my friend, those two Grand Seiko watches look amazing! For $2000 I'd go for Longines Conquest 41mm green
Thank you so much and I am with you 1000% on the green dial! I think Longines have really knocked it out of the park with the new Conquest.
Sinn 556 all day every day
Thanks for the video and congrats to the winner
The 556 is at the top of a lot of peoples list for sure. I have not seen one in person but I plan too.
Great vid, excited for when you’d get your hands on a spring drive! My watch of choice in that range is the Longines Hydroconquest 41mm. Just a simple but beautiful diver.
Thank you so much! Longines is on the top of my list as well!
I like GMT watches so my favorite would be Mido Ocean Star GMT
This is second bit for the Ocean Star so great pick!
Another great video. I would look for either a Seiko presage sharp edge GMT or a Longines hydro conquest automatic.
Keep up the good work. 👍
Thank you so much!!! I think Longines is killing it with the new 41mm Hydro Conquest as well as the legend driver and the spirt zulu. I love all three the problem is their prices, I would add a legend driver to my collection in a heartbeat but $3,400 before tax is two high in my opinion.
Your hard work to bring us so much great information about watches in each and every video of yours is much appreciated my friend
My favorit watch under $2000 would be the Oris Big Crown
Thank you so much!!!!!!!! I think the Big Crown is a top contender in this price range for sure.
Great video my fruend, keep it up
Longine Conquest Is my pick
Very high up on my list, great pick!
Going with Mido ocean star GMT pepsi
You are not the only one!
I think Seiko Alpinist is worth mentioning in this price range! It's definitely not the best watch you can buy for $2000, but I like it
I like it too and my son loves the green dial. Problem is the pricing is all over the map with the Alpinist, $500 to $1,500 and I find that kind of weird.
Really enjoying the content, keep up the good work
My pick would be Oris Big crown
Big Crown has been picked several time, I can't imagine it doesn't make the top ten for sure! Thank you for the support!
I WOULD BUY AND WEAR JEANRICHARD 1681 RONDE SECOND CENTRALE ALL DAY
I had to look that up. I really like the small seconds on a dress watch!
Zodiac watches are rarely mentioned in this price range. The choice of colors they use for their dials and for the bezel inserts is not everyone's cup of tea, but I like it. Personally I like Super Sea Wolf Compression automatic the most
I like them! Watches are like sports cars, they can get away with colors that simply would not work anywhere else. I completely dig the pastel blue version with the orange and I can not think of anything else on the planet those to colors would work together with!
For $2000 I would buy Oris Big Crown absolutely 100%
Great choice for sure! There are so many great watches at this price point it would be really hard to choose but the Big Crown has be pretty high up on the list for me!
that's lot of info thank you so much i would buy Formex reef GMT
I have never seen one in person but they appear to be very high quality and it is cool that you can customize them on the website.
Hamilton Intra-Matic is a great pick up for around $2000
Such an awesome watch! Throw a Breitling logo on it and it would sell for 10k.
The Seiko Aplinist GMT has been high on my wish list since the day I first laid my eyes on it, I think it's a great pick for the money
Check out the comments because you are not alone! Thank you for watching and commenting!
The Mido Ocean Star 600 Chronometer is great watch
That is a good choice! I like Mido a lot but given the choice I would go with the Multifort TV Big Date but that is because I am a bit burnt out on divers at the moment.
really great review and u giving an insight about the quartz movement makes it even more mindblowing
Thank you so much, I truly appreciate that!
The Oris Big Crown is beautiful watch
Pretty sure it's going to make the top 5!
Doxa Sub200T Profesional for sure
That is a cool watch all the way around cool case, cool bracelet and cool dials!
Great video man, thank you
I'd go for Sinn 556
It is crazy because every time I mention watches in this price point the 556 is always at the top of the list and I have never even seen one in person. I got to get my hands on one so I can check it out!
Hi James, here is the code Seiko Winner 1995. Thanks
Thank you, I will get your watch shipped out for you tomorrow!
Mido Ocean Star 600 is great watch in my opinion
Has been picked a few time already!
I'm saving my money to buy an Oris Aquis Date green dial
Oris is a good pick around 2k but the green dial is between $2,500 and $2,700 new from a dealer. Grey market is the way to go with this watch, can most likely save around $700
The Oris Big Crown Pointer date is great looking watch
It is look very clear that the Big Crown is going to make the top ten!
Longines Hydroconquest
High up on my list as well.
I think that Tissot PRX automatic is fantastic watch
It is a cool watch but with a 2k budget there are a lot of great options that in my humble opinion are a better choice.
Oris Big Crown Pointer Date
The big Crown has been picked a lot!
I must say Sinn 556, that is my favorite watch at this moment
You and a tone of others, I really need to check the 556 out!
I'd go with Sinn 556 all day every day
Pretty sure it's going to make the list!
I fell in love with hamilton khaki aviation pilot pioneer
Cool watch and with the budget you could get two!
I believe that Sinn104 St Sa should be on the list
Cool watch but I can't understand why it is marketed as a pilot watch?
My Personal Favorite Under 2000$ is Baume & Mercier Classima Men's Automatic Watch M0A10696
That's what i'm talking about 2K on the dot! Someone gives me an imaginary 2k and I am spending it all.
The Sinn 556 is no brainer in my humble opinion
I think a lot of people are with you on this one. I have not had the chance to have one in hand but can't wait until I do.
Seiko moved the cool dials from Seiko 5 (70s-80s) into Grand Seiko 🤣 J/K. Grand Seikos are beutiful. Didn't know about the less torque in quartz and the small hands. Nice info and great video as always!
I just found a new love for Grand Seiko and Seiko doing this video!!! Thank you so much for the support, I appreciate it!
I'm so happy you did a video focusing on a GS! Super informative and great quality video. If I had to choose, right now, I would go with the Marathon 41MM GSAR on the steel bracelet coming in at $1,800. I am a sucker for the tritium tubes!
Isn't that a quartz? That is a lot of money for a quartz, are you Canadian? I just spent a week there last December and had a great time.
@@BlueCollarLuxe The version I looked at runs the Selita SW200-1. Not canadian, but I am in Alaska. 😀
That is a tank of a movement!
Kinda want one now!
You should buy us both one bro!
I know that the Bulova Lunar Pilot is not the best thing you can get for $2000, but I think it could be on the list, especially because it is powered by a high accurate quartz movement
I would love to have this watch but it is just too big, I wish they made it in a 40mm!
@@BlueCollarLuxe there is "small" version but Is "just" 43mm😂
lol!
in that price range i'd go for asinn 556 or 104 or a damasko dk36 or 37 or a pre-owned citizen "The citizen" with their HAQ solar movement similar to the GS 9F movements.
I'm with you on the first two but I have to pass on. the third. I just could never see paying that kind of money for a Citizen even with the solar power movement. It just doesn't make since to me, the Citizen Chronomaster is going for $2,300 while you can pick up the Promaster for under $300.
@@BlueCollarLuxe think of it as a grand seiko 9F movement but solar powered, because that's practically what it is. the same technology and accuracy and case finishing and great dials too but with solar charging.
"The citizen" is very, very similar to the GS but i understand why people would see it as just a citizen watch, just like GS used to be just an expensive Seiko with an extra GS badge up until they made Grand Seiko its own separate brand.
That is a solid point. Citizen is a big brand that owns multiple brands so maybe they should take a play out of the GS book and find a way to separate the affordable from the higher end. They do the same thing with the Frederique Constant brand they own. Frederique Constant has watches that cost 1k and then they release a tourbillon that cost 30K that just doesn't make since to me. That would be like Rolex coming out with a watch sold in department stores, it would cannibalize their higher end watches.
Sinn 556 for sure
The 556 always gets love at the price point!
Vulcain Skindiver Blue
Looks like a cool watch!
thank you so much for doing this giveaway i like nivada grenchen 86007m broad arrow
I had to look this one up as well. Good looking watch, I am a sucker for the beads of rice bracelet!
I would go for one of the Laco B-uhr watches, difficult to decide which one though.
Not a bad pick at all, I think the world sleeps a bit to hard on watches made in Germany, they make some great watches!
@@BlueCollarLuxe Agree, I dare to say one could have an awesome collection with German watches only.
I could build an entire collection just from Glashutte Original alone but I don't have that kind of budget!
I have eye on tag heuer aquaracer WAY201B.BA0927 for long time so i would buy that i have that kind of money
Good pick but about $1,800 out of budget!
Baume et Mercier Riviera M0A08778
Cool watch but over budget by a lot!
