Affordable luxury watches

"Affordable luxury watches" *thumbnail shows one of the most expensive, platinum pateks in the world*

[@AmIsraelChai85]

what else would you expect.

[@OPP841]

It's affordable nigga hahahahahaha

[@rishig9422]

Haha that's what I thinking as well.

[@jakubkrcma]

[@neilpiper9889]

For the majority of people on this planet. Any watch is a luxury. I have a 19 60s HMT Pilot I bought for £12. That watch was treasured before I had it. It's beautiful and keeps time perfectly. Made all in house in India. Citizen design mechanical hand wound movement. I have a 1939 Kirovskie watch. Bought for £70. These watches have history and I can afford them.

[@Andybiotics]

"Second-hand vintage time pieces are significantly less expensive than new ones" Heyer Monaco Used: $3000-5000, New: $3900 Great example...

[@MrAudioLover]

Andybiotic That was from 1970s. That's so vintage to be cheaper than its original price.

[@Andybiotics]

MrAudioLover That is why I sarcastically say "Great example..."

There's no such a thing as affordable luxury ,if it's affordable then it wouldn't be considered as a luxury ,just my opinion .

[@TruNYC1]

Affordable is a relative term. Affordable to whome?

[@tommycasidy3031]

You would be correct.

[@nekko4565]

[@borggus3009]

Some seikos are luxury, but the affordable ones aren't. They are at best high quality or very collectible.

[@krumovevgeni]

[@nsebast]

That Patek Phillipe is the holy grail watch for me. That will the last of my collection when I am 60.

[@JJSTAYFOCUSED]

[@ternsjo]

Fate Hu haha, well said but it could happen :) What are your thoughts on my watch reviews on my channel?

[@classic-kool]

Logan Hu - but this is CNN, where the LIBTARDS hang out and make excuses for ending up pathetic "Wanna be's"...

[@southport65]

That’s an idiotic statement if ever I’ve seen one.

[@southport65]

Not to mention it sounds like something someone who’s broke but likes to watch videos on lux items would say.

[@josephnotafrancesco6143]

Rolex isn't luxury?....ok

[@theyoodoo]

"Affordable" is a relative term. I've bought perfectly good cars for less than some of these watches. I'm just as happy with a Seiko.

[@chasemiller9315]

Seiko is good for reliability, my father's old Seiko got passed down to me and he said it stopped ticking close to 20 years ago, to get it running again all I needed to do was put a new battery in it.

[@satishchandgoyal461]

Luxury itself means extravagant priced

[@L8bro]

Did he just say one can find a used model for "between 50%-90% off"?? That's quite a bold statement IMO. Depending on brand and model I should think "5% to 90% off" would be more accurate.

[@blakelee2913]

+L8bro he probably meant at auction houses only, and then you have to add the 25% hammer price ha.

[@TruNYC1]

This guy has been educated in a bubble.

[@jamieparker4010]

you can get watches for 90% off but they are truly beat steel models i have bought tag Heuer for say £200 compared to a £4,000 retail for the clean ones

[@L8bro]

+Jamie Parker That has pretty much been my experience too.

[@FlyLikeAPgasus]

Pretty sure he meant "50% to 90% of" one "f" meaning a $100 000 watch would be between $50 000 to $90 000.

[@schembrilllllll]

I have a tag formula 1 and a Rolex date just. I'm a huge Rolex fan great quality.

[@clinthymes5067]

One mans Seiko may be another mans Omega. Buy the watches you like for your style. My personal style is Seiko Flightmaster,Tissot PRC 200; or Citizen Navihawk AT. I also have a cheap Indiglo because I’ve never seen another one like it and I love the way it looks and it cost $6 USD.

[@13noman1]

All things fall on a sigmoid shaped curve of quality vs cost (aka, law of diminishing returns). Any of these, even pre-owned, are waaay to the right on that curve, meaning you pay a lot more but quality gains are small. My Citizen, Seiko and Orient watches are up on the quality curve but manageable for many on the cost curve.

[@classic-kool]

Rolex in precious metals are priced comparably to other luxury brands .... the 904L stainless steel is highly desired, and priced almost as high as a precious metal ... all my opinion, of course .. wear what you like!!

[@marktuyet]

Chill out and buy anything you like unless you are spending thousands of dollars for a chronometer. I buy Vostok military watches on eBay from a guy in Florida. I like them, they fit my budget, I wear a different one everyday and never worry about them. If you are having fun , you are a successfully collector. If you are anxious about what you are buying and afraid to wear them because you might get a scratch , you are a failure at collecting. Not everything in life comes down to " how much is it worth " .

[@rodrigovallades2480]

I read all the posts and laughed my ass off. Very entertaining to say the least. The difference is clear in my mind: there are CONSUMERS and there are COLLECTORS. Consumers don't necessarily care about the inner workings or the history of what they are buying, whereas collectors do.

[@marktuyet]

Rodrigo Vallades Magalhães exactly , and you can be both. I have a few old Rolex and Breitlings , but I love watches for different reasons . I have a Seiko high beat that I bought for the beauty and mechanics of the movement . I have an old citizens from the 70s that I enjoy because it reminds me of the watches I had when I WS young. Right now I am wearing an old Seiko 6160 that I love for the beautiful rich green dial with the orange sweep second hand . I will buy myself a new Seiko quartz soon too for their classic looks and fabulous quartz movement . collecting should be about whatever turns you on including my Vostok watches I buy on EBay from a guy in Florida . I like the fact they are mechanical and come in many dial designs . I am a consumer and collector and enjoy every watch I own . Enjoy !!!

[@johnchow5642]

Here is the Rolex gold watch you were looking for man: amzn.to/1xuYlVx

[@mugen1237]

marktuyet I agree. I have about 25-30 watches in my collection, and most are Accutrons. They're very accurate and the history behind it is awesome. Plus most of them costed under $100. The only downside I'd say is the repair/service costs. Luckily my friend knows someone in California who's been doing it for decades and charges less than $100 if parts aren't needed.

[@Veneros]

mugen1237 if it costs 100 to service, but you said the watches are usually under 100 to buy? How does this work for you? I don't collect watches as I don't know much about it but I"ve accumulated a few pieces over time - digital g shock for obvious sports/rough wear, swatch for its cheap and stylish young look wheny ou feel lik no frills, and my more professional watch wear being a Maurice Lacroix Pontos entry level unit. Would be keen to know what the difference between the digital, quartz and mechanical movements are in terms of required servicing? Apart from battery changes for the first two, is it only mechanicals that need servicing, and if so how often? Got my Maurice Lacroix in around 2011 from memory? Maybe end of 2010.... Do you have to service it every yr,two,four, six? And what should you be aiming to do in a 'service' - since different jewelry stores and service stores offer various servicing, including pressure tests and what not to ensure it's waterproof after. How to not get conned and get the bare minimum one needs? Watch probably cost around $1500 AUD at the time...

[@Sams911]

A luxury watch by it's definition isn't affordable... Vacheron Constantin is affordable because among the Holy Trinity of watch brands (them, Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe) they are the leased hyped.. Rolex is a good "luxury" brand for the masses .. as it's mass produced.. there are also ultra-luxury options by VC, AP or PP.... or independents like FP Journe, Philippe Dufour, etc.. but you're not getting a "luxury" watch for $500-$5000... sorry, you're just getting a watch, maybe a "nice" watch at most.

[@shahorology3275]

What a beautiful watch. Great video as well ❤️❤️

[@jashuchaudhary9247]

Can you give me your website ?

[@thegee-tahguy4877]

I want a luxury Smart watch. or an early 60's Bulova Accutron Alpha. Can't make up my mind.

[@museumandtravel]

I think he meant to say you will pay 90% to 50% of the original price. I think she tried to correct him or clarify but he doubled down. Anyone agree.

[@telegraphkid]

Prices have sure changed since 2010 that’s for sure !

[@craftyduces]

Great video !

[@ronkaminski7402]

I have 30 Invicta watches,most are Swiss made.What is your opinion on this watch.Lets say 1thru 10 on the quality of Invicta.

[@dullpike4474]

Invicta's aren't Swiss made and Invicta is literally the most joked about brand because of how bad their pieces are. But if you like it, that's all that matters.

[@charlesbai6315]

they are really hit or miss with quality, and are considered a "mushroom brand" because they boast themselves to have deep roots regarding their company but are just below-average chinese movements trying to appear extravagent.

[@TaichiStraightlife]

They suck... I bought two and they both broke, that is to say their ability TO KEEP TIME CORRECTLY was nonexistent. Now in the drawer; the back of the drawer, never to see the light again.

[@Dan-nj7tr]

O.K. find a high end luxury watch that is in good working condition and that is 90% off it's original dealer price, impossible.

[@bobbyjocowpoke1057]

One thing to remember about buying a used luxury watch is the cost of servicing the watch. That shouldn't stop anyone cause if you find certified jeweler you can trust its not a big issue. However I read an article where a man bought a GMT Rolex and took it to a jeweler to have a basic service done on it and he saved a lot of money, however 3-years later the watch stopped working. Well the jeweler he went to closed the doors ( out of business). So he found another jeweler, the new jeweler opened the case back on the Rolex GMT and found it had a miyota Japanese movement in it! Draw your own conclusion on this one.😱

[@ikkexd11]

well your just stupid if you get this done without knowing it. A miyota movement is battery powered and the indicator for seconds ticks instead of drags like a automatic/ handwound movement does...

[@ikkexd11]

Dr. Dadj haha oeps Sorry :D autocorrect in dutch can give Some troubles while typing english hehe 😅

[@ikkexd11]

Super Dude, i know about that movement but it's a shame if you put that in a Rolex.. you put that in a fake watch not in a real one..

[@ikkexd11]

Super Dude btw never Heard of manners? It is kinda rude to say that people are stupid, you can say they made a mistake ;)

[@LG-kl3co]

Well if you have a Rolex and take it to a "Jeweller" for service then you are a mug. Mine go to Rolex and come back as new and with a 2 year warranty. Sure I pay ( last time £525 for the Yachtmaster) but you do not exactly get the watch for peanuts in the first place !

[@andimumxhiu867]

I have never seen these prices shown in this video. Add 50 percent more to them and you get the price being sold at shops/

I hate the term; "Second Hand", watch. I prefer the term.." Pre Owned". I have ten watches that I'm not the original owner. If I were to purchase these watches I'd be bankrupt. The big deal is :1947 Patek Phillipe $5000 USD purchase price. Offer from Patek for their museum...35,000 EURO.

[@jamieparker4010]

Jesus if I had that I'd had sold it but I get it I mean it sounds like they want it you could push them for $50,000 I had an 1893 patek pocket watch which I pitched to some London dealers they started offering £5-12,000 I sold it to one in the end for £25,000 he sold it after a while for close to 40k after some work

[@gallimead]

cookingprof But second hand has a certain irony worth watches.

[@smudger671]

Pre owned is a snob term.

[@BAAAASJE]

Getting a 4k Audemars Piguet in good condition is great, but servicing one is going to cost you serious amounts of money, it definitely isn't affordable on that side.

No design? Every other watch nowadays is a Submariner copy, I'd say that's the mark of a pretty good design. And since when was the number of complications a good measure of a watch's quality ?

[@6marco5]

[@robertangel9902]

Rolex may be over rated and not all models will appreciate in value over time, but my 1988 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust, in stainless steel, with the standard plastic crystal is worth more today than it was new. It is accurate to 1 to 3 seconds a month--that's what I really care about. Ironically Rolex would replace the crystal w/ another plastic one and to put an after market sapphire one would actually reduce its value!

[@mundotaku_org]

Rolex is just a marketing piece. Nothing special in the horology world other than saying "I don't know much about watches, so I went for a safe bet." I mean, it could be worse, it could be a quartz Tag Heuer.

[@Gewehr_3]

Nothing special in the horology world? Do you even know what you're talking about? Rolex made the first water resistant watch case. They make all of their movements in house and even their own steel. Even though they're a bit overpriced they still make the best mechanical sports watches in the world.

[@mathew633man]

Gewehr3 there are reasons to like Rolex. but you gotta admit that most people like Rolex because it's "Rolex", not necessarily because it is in-house or it has complex mechanical design that they can understand.

[@Gewehr_3]

Oh I agree completely, I don't even like Rolex that much, but to say Rolex is "nothing special in the horology world" is about the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

[@ternsjo]

[@tommywong3147]

omega is more of a brand for younger professional and rolex more older crowd

[@sktvz38]

Sorry to deceive you but some vintages watches like the Tag Monaco can be sold more expensive than the brand new model. You have a lot of examples for Rolex, with Paul Newman Daytona with prices going up to 1m$ in auctions for the most rare ones, or Rolex Submariner Red or Comex...

[@738polarbear]

Why does it have to be Swiss?

[@Arvilian]

+738polarbear Geneva propaganda, like diamonds for weddings

[@738polarbear]

German Glasshutte watches are equally as good..Switzerland wants to retain their air of superiority .

[@T.Q.]

My sentiments exactly! It's also why they created and constantly advertise "COSC Certified". I like Grand Seiko a lot but they're Japanese and not Swiss so aren't allowed to be COSC certified, but they do have ISO (international) certification on their diver watches. I also like some German watches. I don't support companies or groups of companies who use such dirty tactics like the Swiss do, so I stopped buying Swiss.

[@charlesbai6315]

doesn't have to be swiss, but swiss movements are definitely better and have a way longer and reputable history, and the value of resell is definitely going to be higher as well. Japanese watch companies like Seiko and Orient produce quality movements, but it would still be best to avoid Chinese movements, since they do a lot of false advertising and stuff like that. Basically buy from a reputable brand, and the majority of them originate from swiss

[@Optidorf]

As said: quality is secondary to consumer demand. Swiss watches have for more appeal to the big public than Japanese watches. Compare it with an Iphone and a Huawei. I wouldn't say that the Iphone is better than a Huawaei, but the former will hold its value while the price of the latter will plummet.

To me personally, Seiko is luxury and reliability and great aesthetics; Citizen is features and good aesthetics, and Casio is play tennis with. I'd look an Orient for something more exotic.

+TQ EXACTLY. Personally, I enjoy my collection of watches and I enjoy timepiece collection as a hobby in general because I take pride in understanding the history and painstaking craftsmanship behind the movement. With that being said, I would never frown upon someone wearing a less collectable watch brand simply because they aren't pieces that are generally sought after by collectors. If you enjoy the look of your timepiece, who am I (or anyone else for that matter) to tell you otherwise because its maybe something that I wouldn't necessarily wear.

[@stephanjoseph7468]

[@maguraboy]

You make a point Waltham smth..Everything about the qualities of fine timepieces is said and well known.But, watches are overpriced.Period.With modern technologies they can lower the cost.They won't do it.They take me for a sucker.I bet the estimated labor cost is 7% or less.They promote a watch as a badge of economic power.On other hand a vintage watch is also called- used worn out junk.And you end up paying for thin air getting your iconic "full"with history brand.

Really?? 90% off luxury watches? Maybe if they've been beaten to crap and aren't working. You're not getting a true luxury watch in anything remotely approaching excellent condition for 90% off. Someone should have checked that so-called expert's credentials.

[@Waltham1892]

I'm an insecure male. I need something that demonstrates my dominance and level of expendable income to other males, and more importantly, to sexually desirable females. In order to do this I will purchase an anachronistic device for an extravagant amount of money, when I could purchase a similar device that performs the same function, possibly even better, for a fraction of the cost. I will then justify this purchase appealing to the name recognition of the manufacturer and various mechanical features of my watch that increase its complexity while not increasing its functionality.

[@RexKramerDangerSeeker]

So buying a luxury watch "anachronistic device" is just to "demonstrates my dominance and level of expendable income to other males, and more importantly, to sexually desirable females" because of insecurities? Laughable at best. You should move to Detroit, it performs the same functions, possibly even better, for a fraction of the cost as the town you currently live in. If you actually knew anything about timepieces, you wouldn't make such large assumptions. Time accuracy, craftsmanship, and quality is what you get for an "extravagant amount of money". Stick to shopping at thrift shops and drinking PBR

Waltham1892 Who needs clothes when one is wearing a yellow gold Day-Date II or an over-priced, over-engineered, and over-obnoxious Deepsea Sea-dweller? The truth you suggest does not offend, it empowers. I have pacified populations and marginalized insurgents by way of helicopter air assaults and big fucking balls while wearing one of these anachronistic and extravagant objects of luxury despite some risk of personal injury or death -- I am not insecure. No, these watches are a real demonstration of dominance over other men as well as attractiveness when coupled with confidence while engaging an attractive woman. You may not like this reality, but it is a natural part of our condition as human beings where status symbols provoke envy, emulation, and desire in others. Ohhhh, the look on the faces of detractors (e.g., you) and the brightening in the eyes of game, makes life that much more pleasant.

Anybody who is going to do any type of public speaking should invest the time to work out the little quirks and bad habits that are very distracting and off-putting for a listener. Some of these words and sounds are umm, you know, like umm ahh, you know very irritating and you know, causes us to like, focus on umm these ahh words which do not belong, instead of listening to the message or topic at hand.

If these "quirks" are so distracting to you, perhaps you should get checked for ADD

[@georgiebungle2252]

its just you

Actually, if you have ever been trained in public speaking or as a teacher, you would know that those types of "quirks" are one of the first things that are addressed and trained out of you. There are multiple reasons why this is so important. Some of those reasons are: - this bad habit shows that the speaker is nervous and insecure with his/her subject matter; - if students or an audience think that the speaker is unsure of the subject matter, they will doubt the veracity of what the speaker has tried to convey to them, therefore the class/speech/news report will be less than successful; - if the speaker is a news reporter, in front of the camera, having such bad habits will make the reporter look and sound very unprofessional, waste on air time and result in the reporter losing their job; and - when a teacher is using this type of crutch, to give himself/herself time to gather his/her thoughts, it diverts the student's attention and makes the students bored and restless, resulting in disturbances in class as the students who are bored and restless find something to occupy their minds. If such bad habits do not distract you from the subject matter, or irritate you, and one of these examples don't apply to you, then you are one of a very small minority.

[@realblackbetty2204]

[@blacksnow1881]

Ok

[@Lobzik67]

Quality shmolity .........Fact is that any quartz watch is more precise and more durable then any automatic mechanical watch.I have Casio GD-101 watch already few years without having problems and without expencive service every 2-3 years!!! f@#k any of mechanical pieces....

[@Kingnolybear560]

Because you look at a watch as a tool. I look at it as an art. The more complicated it is the more impressed I am with it. Complicated in house movements are not as accurate as Quartz but are one hundred times more impressive and beautiful to look at and own.

[@Lobzik67]

***** I do understand what you mean.You are right. I have few mechanical watches not highest class,but suits my pocket. Tissot,Pulsar,Dugena. This ones I don't even wear since quarts mechanism came on the market,but I keep it,as you say, just because appriciat it.
