An Award Winning Watch Under $2,000 - Raymond Weil Millesime Automatic Small Seconds

[@tngchinghwa]

About 20 years ago, RW used to advertised themself throughout my country, they were on a lot of clock in public places and TV. Sadly i noticed the brand has been slowly disappearing. This watch is a stunner, might be a comeback for RW! For a sector dial, i like this even more than Longines.

I would agree if i didn’t dislike dauphine hands so much

First RW that's ever looked tempting to me, very nice!

[@thetanman2929]

I hope the misalignment of the "Swiss Made" text on the silver dial variant is due to the watch being a pre-production or marketing sample. Oddly enough it looks fine on the anthracite dial variant.

[@lynx8587]

For I second I thought I was the only one who saw it.

[@ticoss]

Not only the "swiss made", but also the marker for the 30 seconds in the dedicated dial who is misaligned with the 6hours/30 minutes of the principal dial

[@didiermarchant3024]

Unfortunately something Teddy would have mentioned if he wasn't selling it...

[@tilio9380]

What do you mean by misaligned? Looks OK to me. Edit: nvm I see it on the white one. Probably just bad QC.

[@SampleTracks2224]

The white dial on retail versions demonstrated by a few other European channels are all fine, including GPHG's own video of it. This is probably a pre-production model with a mocked up dial.

[@luxelist]

I do absolutely love the vintage feel of the watch. And I agree the Super-LumiNova makes for an incredibly memorable design.

[@kl9794]

What a beautiful watch, and as you said Teddy, it is not their typical design language. Hope they keep it up on exploring different looks.

[@Horizontalvertigo]

It's a lovely watch, it just doesn't make any sense to buy new, at grey market/second hand prices it'll be a good purchase.

[@PINKFL0YD-s2h]

Wow that's a good find. I thought it was a Patek looking at the thumb thingy. I'm going to be looking out for it.

[@DelcoWineDouche]

Love the silver dial. Was looking at one of their silver dial moonphases recently. Ultimately ended up scrapping that idea and going with a Mühle but I think this one make get me back in with RW.

[@PatGigtainment]

My first luxury watch was a RW freelancer with the open balance black dial. Macy's had a sale on it half price so I jumped on it and it's definitely a great watch. Next watch is a longines legend diver grey dial 42 to commemorate hitting 1000 subs

[@shaheerrahman87]

Imagine this watch without that "Automatic" text ❤

[@Hialeah1925]

Not so bad. It’s a classic marking.

[@1973833]

Love it!On my buy list!

[@taelue]

Legitimately messaged you via IG on Friday about this watch and if you were going to review it! This is great! Such a beautiful watch. Great review as always.

[@FabioTWK]

The “Swiss made” text placement on the white dial version gives me the ick

[@jackdaw3173]

i like it...had subtle f.p journe vibes...im also called Ray and was born the year before they came about as a watch manufacturer...never really considered them before but this one jumps out as looking exceptionally classy.

[@thomash.9930]

I don't see the F.P. vibe? What do you mean?

[@sage9743]

Nice dial but a slightly smaller dial would be a more vintage style in my mind.

[@donjuan150]

I wear daily an RW classic Toccata with roman numerals and a perfect size 42mm by 6mm thickness....YES 6mm. They also have it in 39 by 8.5 mm.

[@luizadame7382]

I think this is the first time I see someone with credibility talk highly of Raymon Weil

[@corner559]

He's doing it so he can move product through his store.

[@fourthwatchman]

Beautiful piece! Is it me or the “SWISS” & “MADE” on the white dial is not centre. 🤔

[@BAF605]

Nice looker. GPHG winner or not don't pay retail,

[@stevendegliangeli7640]

Hi Teddy,I have been a fan and a follower since you came on the scene. I have two Raymond Weil watches. I like this new one but I can't get past the band which looks like a Swartz watch. I will however be happy to come and give you my business. Thank You Teddy.Sincerely, Steven Degli Angeli

[@TomasWatchReviews]

looks lovely

[@pikispl4711]

Ah raymond weil, i remember my mother had one that my dad bought for her when they was young and really treasured it before but it broke already. She really sad this brand already kinda disappear from my country and no one in my country can do her watch restoration.

[@jaredlostetter265]

Notice on the white one- the horizontal line on the dial goes slightly above the “9” marker and then lines up on the “3”, but then on the black dial the line looks much more centered…. Anyone else see that?

[@markstarmer3677]

I’ve just gone back to double check, and you are right. How did that get through Quality Control ?

[@jaredlostetter265]

@@markstarmer3677yeah if you stop it at 1:08, it’s pretty obvious… I love the watch but that would irritate me if I owned one

[@markstarmer3677]

@jaredlostetter265 me too. When you are paying that sort of money for a 'decent ' watch, you quite rightly expect better.

[@FabioTWK]

Not just the lines.. look at that “Swiss made” on the white dial..

[@KOHF1]

Gorgeous! Would order it off the website this month if you shipped to Europe 😅 will have to find a dealer here on pay day :)

[@perpardorf1040]

Nice RW❤

[@CaptCanuck4444]

These are really nice.

[@dannyyin9663]

Beautiful.

[@RegM86]

Similar look to Longines Heritage Classic Sector Dial.

[@richardbonanno7236]

Quite nice actually

[@patrickhartmann1540]

Very nice! Only nitpick is brushed flat bezel and flat sides feel less dressy.

[@wagsbass]

This watch is vow. Unfortunately i have way too many watches already

[@the-Brown]

If they had used an interesting / well finished movement in this watch, it would've been a home run.

[@muhammadabdullahzahid6569]

For the price it has a great movement.

[@allezy4822]

I guess that ideally you don't want any part of a watch to be lacking. But if I had to pick one part, I would certaintly pick something as replaceable as the strap.

[@shaydemotomura485]

Looks like the Longines Heritage Sector Dial

[@elwynjones-xf2zr]

Yes it does but on this watch no numbers are cut in half like the idiotic number six on the longines

[@edkwon]

Serious Patek Calatrava vibes

[@TheGaztela]

Son preciosos . Pensaba en un Nomos Orion, pero esos pueden ser un buen sustituto

[@Repiiv88]

The "Automatic" printing is not necessary for a dressy watch's dial, even more so when it's an open caseback showing the movement clearly. I can argue the "Swiss Made" could be get rid off too, especially when it's misaligned like on the white version in this video.

[@adammac6386]

I like RW due to them being family owned and not a conglomerate.

[@smittysmitty481]

The two most underrated brands in the game are Baum & Mercier & Raymond Weil!

[@curtbrown7718]

My preference would be to save additional dollars and purchase the Longines sector dial watch. Thank you.

[@andreleverettejr3747]

That's really nice 👍🏾

[@Toaster_luvin]

37mm version please

[@Jedimaster36091]

This is not specific only to Teddy, but why do presenters feel the need to describe the watch appearance in such minute details, when we can certainly see them? Like describing the dial. Instead, maybe focus on the details we don't see, like how it feels, etc.

[@luchoc602]

Does Teddy have a clothing channel too? I wanna know where he gets his jackets….

[@ms.bunniesarecute2287]

[@TheRokisaProductions]

😂

[@ListenToPowerViolence]

There's a reason Raymond Weil has become the 5th most respected Swiss luxury watch manufacture.

[@harrywatts9341]

What is this based on?

[@ListenToPowerViolence]

@@harrywatts9341 I heard it at my AD.

[@StellarPhotography]

On what planet?

[@keltecdan]

38mm would’ve been a better size with a date function at 6 o’clock location.

[@anthonyuchello2031]

The outside track is too busy for a dress watch. There are better choices.

[@julienfroidevaux1143]

Raymond While ?

[@Hialeah1925]

This 🆚 the Longines Sector folks!?

[@shuycg]

Longines.

[@elwynjones-xf2zr]

The Longines was obviously designed by an idiot……the number six is cut off

[@marsthepro3546]

if only it had a date window

[@RyanBofMKE]

$1,895?!?! 🤣😂

[@duffydon1741]

This only misses a plush leather strap

[@unclegood]

I thought its called Raymond 'whale'. Their advertisements used to appear before Singapore's news broadcast

[@kheyaammoseley8534]

SWISS🇨🇭MADE

[@SampleTracks2224]

Pointless advertising this to WIS. The watch could be a rebadged Calatrava but they'll never be interested in it. They're too unimaginative and too bought into their own press to buy something like this from a brand they have studiously been denigrating for 25 years.

[@Akj6zmdteuxze]

Humans are complex , there’s no one size fits all . I am sure some wis love this

[@TymurMelnyk]

First.

[@keirraabdiaziz]

Ilia kvalito ne estas malsupera al tiuj grandaj luksaj varoj. La fortikeco kaj atento al detaloj rivalas kun la originalaj dezajnistsakoj kaj mi ne povas kredi kiom mi ?paris. ?i estas la perfekta akcesora?o por iu ajn moda knabino! Mi certas, ke mi rea?etos iujn aliajn stilojn kaj kolorojn ? nkuwan por kongrui kun miaj vesta?oj kaj ?uoj!

[@jazdecbezhlavy]

If it would be a chronometer, the price could be justified. The design is really boring.

[@daniellehotsky1776]

nice watch, but overpriced imho

[@frankc3834]

Slow down, please.

[@registeredmental]

Do you sell Raymond Weil by any chance?

[@Honraxxx]

This could have been almost a homerun for me since im a softie for vintage inspired designs. But, and its a big BUT, for me the printing of "Automatic" on the sub dial ruins the design of the dial. Such a same... or maybe its just me....
