5 BEST Iconic Watches & Affordable Alternatives!

[@chris_f_eden]

Affordable alternative to Nautilus is Maen Manhattan. Only had my 39 ultra thin for a couple of weeks but absolutely love it

[@ianburgess8220]

For me, my favourite watch is my Omega Aqua Terra. It's a lovely all round watch, classy, classic and modern all at the same time. ❤

[@Shiner1701]

The Champaign Longines Chrono is just beautiful, my favorite of this video!

[@danielmizrahi7114]

A great alternative to the Nautilus is the Mido multifort tv, great watch for the money

[@nemlol]

It actually predates the Nautilus, so you could argue the Patek is a Mido homage 😅.

[@taz076]

I have just turned 40 and treated myself to my first Swiss watch, Tissot Seastar 1000 and I love it. I am now completely obsessed with watches and looking forward to building a collection.

[@Rhoslan463]

My favorite is my Certina DS Action Chrono. It was my first proper watch and I love it

[@jamesadams8425]

That Longines with the champagne dial is just stunning

[@robertmorano2372]

I have a few, but this summer I've been wearing the 5610u gshock square so much. I just haven't taken it off. It's just so easy for the summer time. My other favorite is my grandfather's Seiko "tank" from the 80's. It was his daily watch and I wear it all the time.

[@ashique7970]

Thank you Harrison, My favourite is the new Longines Conquest blue dial in 38mm case. A 'do anything go anywhere' watch.

[@hotrodstu77]

My black bay burgundy is definitely my favorite right now!

[@TheDudleyJames]

I have that watch too. Absolutely beautiful

[@drnick40]

Thank you Harrison! My favorite watch is the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch. Quality, design and incredible historical importance.

[@CJanie_17]

My favorite watch recently is the IWC Portugieser Chronograph 41mm Sand Dune. Definitely pulls dressy, but the beige dial with black strap 😍

[@Carlord01]

My favourite watch at the moment is the Tudor Pelagos 39. I managed to get one preowned for half price. But I really love the pelagos fxd chrono with the blue dial.

[@joaquinmoreno]

My favorite watch is my Seiko speed timer. I love having the panda dial, it has such contrast and goes with everything!

[@bernardomartini5375]

My fav is the 35 mm blu prx powermatic! Lightweight and classic, Just love It as a Daily. ❤❤❤

[@Herr_JW]

My favorite watch is definitely the Tudor Pelagos Blue dial 😍

[@Kranberry777]

My favorite watch has to be tied between the Heuer Carrera 2447 and the Doxa Sub 300T. The Carrera (the new glassbox included) has always been the perfect distillation of the watch I dreamt of as a kid. The whole Doxa line is just so unique and storied that I'm currently saving up for a Sub 200T.

[@hadikhan50]

My favourite watch currently is Tag Heuer Monaco WAW131A.FC6177 - stunning piece!

[@andrew.c685]

favourite watch: Zenith Defy Classic Skeleton

[@siebal]

Totally agree with your opinion about Longines. Their last releases are absolutely stunning! I‘m considering to get the new Conquest - such a beautiful everyday watch

[@sharktimewatch]

My favorite watch is my Pelagos 39. It is truly a go anywhere do anything watch. Yesterday I wore it to work and last night I wore it to date night, and it looked amazing in both scenarios.

[@Thejeetjoshi]

My favourite watch is Grand Seiko “Shunbun” Spring Drive Pink Dial SBGA413 I really like the dial as me.wonderful says dial is everything for him same as me dial and then the movement

[@shmoda12]

My favourite watch is one that input together myself. Coke Inspired with black and red bezel and a white dial. Skx case. Love it so much.

[@jayv9619]

Honestly the Citizen give away is all I want, I’ve been eyeing it since it was released and wow it looks like such a good watch 😫

[@GilesGuthrie]

My favourite watch changes almost daily. Currently it's the IWC Portugieser 42 with the Dune dial

[@Hashkatina]

Great video on Iconic watches! I own a 2 year old Tudor Ranger which is my favorite. Cheers!

[@marcosmartinez7020]

My favorite watch and the one I'm sporting right is the "Tangente Sport Neomatik 42 Date Marine Black. The best watch I have ever owned.

[@dck1612]

So far my favorite watch is my Sangin Atlas. Large watch but it doesn't feel it's size, 8 o'clock screw down crown, and built to take a serious beating. Great for my work and life use.

[@Bennychu720]

Seiko Astron is a very good watch with the titanium, solar gps quartz movement, date function, day counters on some models, mode trackers on others. It is quartz however which isn’t everyone’s preference but it’s a great watch.

[@richardbaldwin9502]

For me my new Tudor black bay 58 blue.Just love it.

[@enriquesanchezlasa2157]

The longines conquest crono is just amazing watch.( favourite is the champagne!!!) Since I discover in another your video I can not wait to come back from holidays to go to see with my eyes in the shop. Probably I found my christmas gift. I am waiting my longines crono masterpiece with moonphase in blue...

[@andybarrons323]

My favourite has to be my Seamaster 300m 2535.80. An absolute beauty of a watch. Thanks for the chance to win!

[@SheldonLonz]

Favourite watch: Speedmaster Moonphase, Blue side of the Moon. Just beautiful watch.

[@andrewd7586]

I’ve just bought the Bulova Devil Diver GMT in rose gold. A beautiful watch.😎👍🏼

[@decarusz2]

My favourite watch is Vacheron Constantin FIFTYSIX. Which is probably my next one after my current Omega Aqua Terra , the GADA watch.

[@kjrhody]

Certina is so good! It has been so hard to find a women's diver that is automatic, not encrusted in diamonds, and

[@DaSquid81]

Love the Monta Oceanking version 3👌It’s also in my ”financial lane”

[@cseivard]

Thanks for the “tale of the Tank”. Timeless in my sight. Hamilton? Excellent!

[@tizombie]

Louise Cartier? Never heard of her🤣. Great video mate.

[@colinashworth6730]

Loving the videos Harrison. My favourite watch in my collection is my 1976 Omega Chrono-Quartz. It’s a real conversation piece and still keeps ‘atomic’ time despite being nearly 50!

[@SteveZiemann]

Thank you Harrison for your great videos. I love the way you bring the world of watches to the audience. No matter of they are passionate collectors or even people looking for their first wrist watch. My favorite watch at the moment is the nomos club campus 38 endless blue. A perfect summer watch and just fun.

[@delareyphoto]

Awesome video man! That Hamilton trip sounds amazing

[@adammordo]

It’s so hard to comment my favorite watch because even within my own tiny collection, it changes all the time. Often, that title belongs to my Rolex DJ, in my opinion the perfect all-rounder, classy and sporty and seriously robust, it really can do anything and go anywhere. But there are times when the title of favorite gets passed on to something else entirely, like the G-Shock square or most recently, the $30 Armitron Rubik that I haven’t stopped wearing since I got it a few weeks ago. Then there is my grail, my favorite watch that I do not own yet, the Omega Equinoxe. Given all that, I honestly can’t choose. But then again, I suppose that’s part of what makes this hobby fun. Great video as always, mate! Congrats on passing 60K! It is so well deserved. Cheers!

[@RyanVoight]

Favorite watch is the IWC Big Polit 43, black dial, but on the bracelet even though they don’t directly sell that combo. Close second is their Pilot Chronograph 41 In Ceratanium… I recently had the opportunity to handle it and try it on, and pictures do not do it justice. It’s legible and stealth at the same time, the case is metallic yet dark. It’s just such a unique blend of all the things. Freaking expensive though.

[@blindbrewerscotland]

Love the prx looks but even the small version doesn't look right on my wrist. Went for a green dial Gentleman powermatic and as with all tissots I'm in love. On my wrist today is the iconic casio f9-1w. Fingers crossed for the draw.

[@tps3057]

My christopher ward c60 trident pro 300...love it and their new summer colours.

[@jcook1937]

Wow, I’ve never really liked a Citizen watch before, but this titanium is actually quite beautiful! Love the texture on the dial and that color… stunning. Favorite watch would be a NTTD Omega Seamaster Diver 300 with the Milanese bracelet. An absolutely great watch and so comfortable. Still saving to buy one 🙂.

[@jochenkey]

Thank You Harrison, as always

[@seanclark7807]

Thanks for the chance to win an awesome piece!! My favorite watch is my grail which i recently acquired, the first gen Omega aqua terra 39mm black dial!

[@tjekool3985]

My favorite watch currently is my wedding watch. A hamilton aviation pilot pioneer 38mm.

[@WhaTheDan]

For me, Its Longines Conquest Chrono, Which i actually bought from Chisholm Hunter near me. Love the watch soo far, Its the perfect blend of quality and elegance for an amazing price point.

[@evinen]

My favorite would be the CW12 titanium. Its sleek, its gorgeous, its modern and a little too over my price range for now. Someday

[@herbeslopez2517]

My grail and favorite watch is the A. Lange and Sohne Langematik Perpetual Rose Gold 310.032E.

[@samuelman88]

Favourite watch at the moment is the Christopher Ward skeleton! What a beauty!

[@bagelcraft1082]

My Favorite watch would be a Longines master collection moon phase chronograph. So many Features in one watch and the price for it is such a value

[@shaggy071]

Favorite watch, still on my wish list, is the Longines Spirit Zulu Time.

[@DanielSantos-jm9zk]

Actually I love Citizen Tsuyosa Small Secondes Guilloche, but this Citizen Super Titanium looks amazing also ❤

[@vladimirtodoroski9629]

Citizen are on the roll at the moment, probably best "bang for buck"; Also my favorite watch is a Seiko SPB 453 :)

[@JLawrence-n7x]

My Favourite all round “wear everyday” watch is the OMEGA Speedmaster Moonphase Watch. At 10k a pop I can only look on in admiration. However as a special occasion watch the patek phillipe nautilus is unbeaten.

[@RicardoFlores-oh8iz]

Favorite watch: Casio MTP 1169, a gift from my late mother

[@Davyg]

My favourite watches at this time are the Omega Aquaterra and the Omega Seamaster White dial Moon Watch.

[@morgaph]

Favorite new watch is the Omega Aqua Terra with the stunning black lacquer dial

[@barryburns6175]

My favourite watch is the Omega 2254.50 and I hope to own one one day!

[@borissavic9853]

This citizen lineup is great. Just bought a forza chronograph and am loving it. Great videos btw, keep it up.

[@conorbuckley2214]

I'm so please Harrison for your success. Flew from Dublin to Scotland to buy my White Dial Omega Seamaster from CH due to you

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

Hey mate!! Aww thank you so much, this really means a lot.

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

Heuer Monaco CAL-11 is my favorite right now. Just recently bought it. Favorite 3 hander is my Rolex Submariner 14060m

[@Musgrave80]

My favourite watch is my orient osd, it's just cool and the perfect size for a dive watch.

[@TheDirk]

My fav is the Longines Conquest on the champagne dial

[@cameronmonroe3989]

My favorites watch has to be the Longines Spirit Zulu time at the moment!

[@bo0py742]

my favourite is still the Rolex Datejust 36 with the mint green dial, jubilee and fluted config. I never was a fan of Rolex, but seeing that green dial converted me

[@robertsodergren394]

I think the Explorer is my favorit watch ever, it's boring but sooo perfect!

[@geopapak2632]

Favorite… once again Tudor!!!! 💪👍👏❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mitchmatic8029]

Great vid Harrison. I would add the Nivada Grenchen F77 to the mix for Genta design options, as well as the Paul Newman Chronokings, and New Chronosport as Daytona alternatives. My current favorite watch is the Longines Conquest Chrono white (ok silver) dial. Couldn’t take it off when I first got it.

[@swimmer74]

My favourite watch is the Omega Aqua Terra with the blue dial.

[@Dinamismo]

My favorite watch is the Seiko Alpinist GMT. If they would add a rotating bezel, that would be my perfect watch

[@lunster5154]

Thank you! Big fan of yours. My favorite watch is the kudoke Skeleton octopus! Would love to be considered for the citizen :) thanks

[@MrClinton514]

For Patek I will say Mido Multifort TV Big Date (and orange version looks like PP Aquanaut 5968)

[@ravine17]

Gotta be the Grand Seiko SBGA211 Snowflake. Absolute class in every way, the dial has a subtle beauty to it only visible when you glance at it, a very personal experience

[@maxsherman7578]

I think right now one of my favorite watches is the Vachiron Constantin 222, it is so amazing.

[@lavrr3004]

I do love my Hamilton Pioneer Mechanical (the vibes of Royal Air Force!) Plus it's such a charming one!

[@diniysalleh]

I would say the Seiko speedmaster is a good alternative for the daytona. My current fav watch is own is a PRX automatics but the dream is a AP Royal Oak.

[@NW-lj6oo]

ABSOLUTELY GREAT VIDEO WITH SOME PREDICTABLE AND VERY INTERESTING ALTERNATIVES. IGNORE CAPS I CANNOT BE BOTHERed TO REKEY ON AN iPad. The Bell and Ross for the Patek is interesting and shows some good lateral thinking. The Certina for the Seamaster is also excellent as the brand is very underrated and therefore great value for money.

[@nattylo18]

Longines champagne dial for me! Defs an awesome everyday watch

[@JockeWest-e3j]

My favorite watch is my Doxa 300T Caribbean, my first really bought grail.

[@husain.d.alfardan]

My current favorite watch is Alexander Shorokhoff (winter).

[@pavleatanaskovic7582]

Hamilton American Classic Intra-Matic Auto Chrono Green Dial is one of my favourite watches 😁

[@key4duty]

The funny thing is some people are spending so much money on watches of different brands that they could have their grail watch if they didn’t bother to buy the others ones in the first place. But I get it, it’s nice to have a few instead of just one.

[@antonhallergren588]

Yeah it's either around 500 dollar watches or rolex and up imo. Anything between say 1k and 6k is really mediocre or has some fatal flaw. Some examples Prx > plastic movement Omega smp > no taper on bracelet+depreciation from hell Speedy > service cost from hell Tudor > halfway rolexes (kind of like just putting the tip in tbh) Seiko spbs > overpriced Longines > used to be good value but new pricing is insane Tag > depreciation from hell Swatch mid brands > mostly generic and just not tjat much better than a 500 dollar citizen, glycine or seiko

[@edreyes9874]

​@@antonhallergren588cool story bri

[@antonhallergren588]

@edreyes9874 you'll see when you end up selling all those watches down the line. Most do when it's an "almost there piece" like the ones mentioned

[@adrianvladmladin1005]

​@@antonhallergren588what a shallow, uninformed analysis😂

[@antonhallergren588]

@adrianvladmladin1005 nah been into watches for nearly a decade. I know everything from patek collectors to ppl buying on Ali express. Generally, the watches ppl never sell are beaters (sub 500 or so bucks) and say rolexes, cartier or grand seikos and above. And this is once you have bought your first nice watches like, say, a Rolex or two. I'm just saying don't waste money on more affordable watches until you can buy a Rolex or above.

[@martiromances2275]

There are always good alternatives! To be honest I have been pretty impressed on the Seiko mods some companies are doing! Using good seiko movements they get very cool watches that look like rolexes or other very expensive brands for a very good price. Maybe one day you can to a video about amazing Seiko mods out there. I always say to people to not buy a fake of an expensive watch and instead get a good movement from other attainable brands like Seiko or Citizen amongst many others.

[@dkinsf]

My favorite watch is the Omega Seamaster 300. Its never off my wrist more than a few days.

[@Macon29DK]

My favourite watch that I own is my PRX automatic green dial and my dream watch is the Patek Philippe cloisonne enamel white gold ref. 5231G-001

[@jamesneal1119]

My favourite watch is the Hanhart 417 ES! I can't wait to one one some day soon

[@marcinczechowski4057]

I have Longines Hydro conquest 39 and I think Longines conguest Chrono is so nice like Rolex 😊 But I have Certina ds 38 Titanium - best watch for every day.

[@EmmetFardy]

The Certina Action Diver comes in a 38mm version also.

[@-BlueX]

My fav watch rn is probably the omega aqua terra, man i wish they made the sea master in 38mm without the second crown.

[@57dscott57]

My favourite watch? The Tudor black bay 54

[@TuTran-sm4on]

Favorite watch right now is the Seiko Alpinist GMT SBEJ005

[@LEDHYDRO]

Fav is definitely CW 12!

[@astongrad930]

Great video with fantastic alternatives suggested

[@GregorySilhol]

Thanks a lot Harrison for another very interesting and entertaining episode. I'm a fan. But I must admit, the object that get most of my attention was... your mug ! I'm in love with its "japanese" aesthetics! Where can I buy it ?

[@salmon400]

Favourite watch release this year is the new omega aqua terra but more affordable favourite is the zenshin
