8 Iconic Watches and Their Affordable Alternatives!

[@rustisamust9079]

The CW C63 Sealander GMT is excellent imho. Owned the 39 mm version since launch.

[@rsavage173]

The correct alternative to the Omega Speedmaster is the Bulova Lunar Pilot. It's also been to the moon and has a great story on how it got there.

[@mohamednayad]

For the Cartier Tank alternative i would say the new LONGINES DOLCEVITA (2022 not the one with the sector dial) the textured dial is closer to the Cartier and it is just 100 EUR more expensive than the Oris and it is also automatic, The Explorer 1 was not mentioned in the video but i would say the Khaki field Murph on a bracelet is a great alternative.

[@chris_f_eden]

Maen Manhattan is great alternative to Nautilus and far cheaper the the B&R. I am however bias since I wear my green dial Manhattan 39 more than any other watch in my collection

[@valkyrst620]

To be honest, you could do the list with just Seiko and Christopher Ward and it would work. The Alpinist GMT in white is a superb alternative to the Explorer II. The Trident 300/600 or the Seiko SPB455J1 as an alternative to the Seamaster 300m or Rolex Sub or Black Bay. The Twelve as an alternative to the Integrated Link Sports Fad. Two exceptions. First for the Nautilius/Aquanaut. The Mido Big Date TV scratches that itch. Second exception is the Cartier Santos/Tank (Square Dial) space. Benjamin James does the Scarifour. British brand. Looks wonderful. And for something more art deco to suit the Tank leaning side of things, the Hamilton Boulton Mechanical!

The Scurfa Treasure Seeker white dial is a great Seamaster 300 trade off. I have one and love it along with my Planet Ocean

[@RobMyself]

In the Seamaster alternative, there's Formex as well. All their watches are COSC Certified, besides their field watches. They also have GREAT bracelets. Certina DS Action Diver is worth a look too. Good video, man.

[@rickb6365]

Great video! I really appreciate the thought that went into the more affordable watches and the fact that they weren't just just clones of the higher end models. Similar but different enough, if that makes sense.

[@gaius_marius]

Great choices! I think many of us would be extremely happy with one or more of these "affordable" alternatives.

[@ahha6304]

I mean, seeing Harrison suggested very affordable watch like Timex sometimes just fascinate me, since this channel can be very luxurious

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

Thanks mate, I’m trying to balance it as much as possible!

[@brianwest1501]

Great information!

[@gvnady8380]

Mido Multifort TV Big Date is a great alternative to Patek Philippe

[@mohamednayad]

Yes 💯and btw The original Mido Multifort from the 70's was created before the Patek

[@ryangallagher7439]

Great video as always. Some really good alternatives

[@victorpark6528]

Nice picks! Never heard about some of them!

[@nedflanders3769]

Not sure about some of these picks. For some of them, the only similarity is being round 😅

[@JohnnyBeans-w9k]

My Pagani it’s the spot. Lol.

[@PapaPilot88]

The Seiko Speedtimer also has its history in space, so closer the Omega in other ways as well. Nice video!

[@maxinahunt8652]

Here’s one you might have thought of. An affordable alternative to a Panerai is the Vostok mechanical amphibian diver auto Panerai style 200m amphibia classic 170962. It comes in several other fun colours and with/without date. A little more blocky than the Panerai but at about $500 much less expensive.

[@mastershooter007]

The Mido looks stellar

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

Amen to that!

[@justinburitica5616]

A nice alternative to the Mido 600C is the Certina DS Action Diver 43. Shorter lug to lug, wears more like a 42, much thinner at 13.1mm & all brushed finish plus beautiful coin edge bezel.

[@drnick40]

Mido TV big date is a decent homage of the Nautilus. I think saving and buying pre owned Tudor is the best way to get a really good watch on a budget.

[@Leo-gh7nz]

I'd actually look more towards the "type" of watch and then try to match the historical significance or get close. I think that maximizes enjoyment rather than looking for a watch that just looks most like the icon. Sub/Seamaster - Doxa Sub 300 Royal Oak/Nautilus - IWC Ingenieur Speedmaster - Bulova Lunar Pilot Done, pretty cool 3-watch collection

[@balazskertesz5010]

I think the best Nautilus alternative is the Piaget Polo S. Granted, it's not cheap (around 10K), but way cheaper than the Nautilus, and of a comparable quality.

[@tps3057]

Christopher ward could be alternatives to all those .....love the Hamiltons too

[@MrPleers]

And for an even more affordable alternative to the Casio F-91W, there is the Skmei F-91W homage. 😳

[@seanthomxx2694]

Maybe this is unpopular opinion, but I this Glycine Combat Sub would've been a decent alternative to Tudor without going into ""clomage" territory

[@darrenhojnacki6636]

Some surprises in the list. Oris was unexpected, I thought you were going to pick a Longines

[@RobMyself]

Me too. They're doing great things in that price point.

[@patrickhartmann1540]

Mido Ocean Star 39 for me. 10.5mm thick is damned good for an auto @$1k retail

[@JavierCasanovaMorrison]

For the omega speedmaster I would’ve said the bulova lunar pilot

[@IFlyANA]

Agree. Speedtimer has that underwhelming 24-hour subdial while Lunar Pilot has 10ths of a second instead. Big difference.

[@ender1077]

For Rolex Explorer 2 I would also say the Seiko Field SBSC009

[@ahmetbaburbaslangic]

I would choose Bulova 96B426 as an affordable alternative to Omega seamaster.

[@hammalamiri12]

I picked up a LONGINES dolce vita for my gf today, I think a great alternative to the Cartier tank must

[@Freewheeling6060]

Great video, cheers 👍🇦🇺

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

Thanks mate!

[@carlosmagalhaes1976]

Great alternatives!

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

Glad you like them!

[@mesiuuuut5095]

Feel like the timex was a better alternative to the sub than the black bay just design cue wise 😅

[@planettudor]

I don't understand why AP Royal Oak is so popular. It is so ugly and look cheap as hell. What's wrong with people. How can they like this watch. I would not buy it even if it cost 500 dollar

[@gucccci3]

Bro for me its one of the most beautiful watches ever made

[@PS-zj3kh]

Buy an Addiesdive and go on holiday with the rest 🌏✈️

[@tachillecremonini387]

La data non centrata tra gli indici del Seiko crono è assolutamente orrenda e inguardabile 😢

[@googleuser7632]

If you buy any of these lower priced watches. Keep then. You'll lost a lot on them.
