00:00 Affordable Watches Introduction
Who doesn’t love gazing at beautiful luxury watches? If you’re anything like us at the Gentleman’s Gazette, I’m sure you could spend hours pouring over all these beautiful luxury watches. The problem is, most of them cost so much that time is the only thing we can spend on them!
00:52 What Does “Affordable” Mean?
We all have different budgetary concerns when it comes to buying a wristwatch but the desire to own an iconic luxury watch can be incredibly powerful. For the majority of us, investing in luxury watches is a welcome daydream but not likely to materialize into actually owning one.
We want to cater to different levels of what you guys can and can’t afford. And just in case you were wondering, we’re not just going to say “buy a replica” as we certainly don’t condone buying fake watches! As many fakes out there hover around the price points we’ll be looking at today, you’ll be far better served by investing in a genuine watch.

The world of watches is something that's constantly evolving and changing so the prices that we quote might not always be perfect but we did our very best. If we’ve inspired you to go on a low-budget shopping spree, but the exact model we’ve discussed isn’t available, look around within that brand's catalog as there might be something else that fits the bill.

As a business student in university at the moment, this video was more than needed, I was looking for a good looking watch to complete my outfit and this is basically just what I was looking for, thanks again Gentleman's Gazette for exemplary content

[@savesnine]

The Seiko Presage and the Orient are universally heralded by watch enthusiasts. No one should balk on those watches just because they are cheaper.

[@tamperehotline]

The thing is to not look at the price tag and think of them as alternatives. All the "affordable" brands mentioned in the video have all beautiful histories and many stand out designs. Theres no price tag for the sentimental value.

[@mattshaffer5935]

So true!

[@bergerecossais]

Longines is definitely worth a dedicated exploration. The quality is equal to Tudor and omega in the upper reaches and have their own heritage and history to draw upon. Whether it is an insanely accurate VHP which matches if not exceeds a Grand Seiko Quartz, a GMT that matches any other like the Zulu time, or the superb complications of the master collection, Longines is for me , the best value brand on the market. These are not cheap watches but the deliver fantastic value.

It depends on the brand. Burei is clearly one to one copies just diffrent logo

[@midslids3210]

I once had a pleasant conversation with a much older gentleman wearing an extremely expensive watch and walked away with a few solid lessons to meditate upon. 1. I don’t wear an expensive timepiece, I display art that I fully appreciate - even if I am still learning to understand it. 2. I rarely wear any timepiece of high financial means during business. Therein lies the luxury and confidence; I have it but do not need to display it and have the choice of when to do so. 3. None of the timepieces in my collection make me a man of luxury. Rather, I, myself, make the timepiece luxurious. Mind blown.

[@Xelbiuj]

Honestly, I prefer a simple Casio over luxury watches. F91W-1 in black and gold as about a luxury as I get. lol. Love the retro, geek sheik look.

[@05Rudey]

I don't think you can go wrong with Longines. I have a old manual wind 36mm flagship model (Ivory face, steel case and dark brown leather straps) only cost $250 on eBay and I'm surprised on how many compliments I have recieved whilst wearing it. A understated little gem.

[@dejuanmcguire9348]

Thanks for mentioning Rotary. I was not familiar with the brand before. I appreciate learning about different watch brands and will have to check them out.

[@gentlemansgazette]

Glad to hear you've learned of a new brand!

[@robertthorn9560]

I'm interested in vintage tank watches from Hamilton, Gruen, Bulova etc from the 40s and 50s but my prized watch is a 1970 Mido Ocean Star I received from my parents for graduation. Also, I keep a large selection of Nato straps and leather bands to change the look and formality scale for pairing with my outfits.

[@jnrocktx]

Picked up the Tissot PRX green dial earlier this year. Hands down the watch that gets the most compliments from a variety of people, watch people and not. Wears well with a casual/sporty outfit and can easily be dressed up. FWIW I got the 40mm and with a 6.5” wrist find the watch slightly large. I feel like the 40mm PRX wears larger than its size. I will be getting another PRX and will go 35mm next time.

[@andreleverettejr3747]

Everyone he didn't mention this but the Bulova Lunar Pilot has been to the moon too worn by Commander Scott when his Speedmasters crystal came off during the lift off of one of his Lunar missions. It's a big boy of a watch but know that it is a moon watch too.

[@ivanlouisjbarrantes1254]

Though not necessarily similar in appearance to any of the dress watches presented, I own a Black leather dress watch with a white dial and blue hands from Casio (which I bought very recently) and it looks and feels very elegant and sophisticated yet at the same time an affordable investment.

[@andreleverettejr3747]

Care to say which one?

I would like a video that dives into Longines

[@harmoniaartificiosa]

The Maurice Lacroix Reserve de Marche is a stunner! I recently went through a rectangle case watch phase, but I never noticed this one. I ended up with a Baume & Mercier Hampton (10522) which has a distinct Art Deco 30’s look and cost me $2000 on discount.

[@AlexandruRoibu]

For a diver watch you can also look at the Citizen Promaster, it's around 300E, 200M water resists, automatic. It is the watch used by the Italian Marina Militare.

[@TheJaime9526]

Those watches you show at the beginning are not replicas, but ‘homage’ watches that have similar (though not always identical) designs to luxury watches, but do not pass themselves off as the original watch- much like some the others you show in the video itself. (Like for instance the Seiko ‘Tank’) They are however actually affordable. Poor show in regards to those image choices.

[@andreleverettejr3747]

THANK YOU MY GOD that's what I just said! I'm sitting here like bro that horology 101

[@gentlemansgazette]

The Pagani watches shown at the beginning were to illustrate a point that, aside from the logo, their design is practically identical to the Rolex GMT. Our goal here is to shine the spotlight on a few other watch choices that share styling points with luxury watches without being clones, homages, or replicas.

[@andreleverettejr3747]

@@gentlemansgazette sir/ gentlemen, then why were they called replicas instead of homages, come on, you know that's what we meant when we made these comments, you could've illustrated the point by showing a Pagani design and calling it a homage and then showing a counterfeit Rolex of the same model or different and calling it a replica, your answer is not sufficient gentlemen/sir, as I said that's horology 101 and you failed the class respectfully, we don't expect a correction because people dont do that anymore but please at the very least don't give us a weak excuse please.

[@georgelush1998]

I like the Rotary Cambridge, Bulova Lunar Pilot, and Tissot PRX. I like Orient too. I have one of their divers and a Bambino. I’ve also have a Timex Marlin. I like the Marlin’s 1960’s retro vibe. Small case diameter and simple clean design. Reminds me of the watches my dad wore back in the day.

[@mantisshadow8990]

I think a brand that is often overlooked is Orients twin, Orient Star. The quality for the price is superb and a fair bit of their models resemble Grand Seikos. Furthermore, through grey market dealers, they are extremely affordable.

[@nac24444]

I'm an avid watch collector ranging in all categories across the board and your selections were magnificent excellent video bravo !!!! Keep up the great work so glad they added this much need piece to complete this area of mens jewelry.

[@saiyajedi]

11:00 Careful with how you use “moon phase” - those $300 Orient models have a *day-night indicator*, which is similar to a 24-hour hand but a little more “fun.” Orient _does_ offer a true moon-phase watch, but it’s part of the Orient Star collection and north of $1,000.

[@cyankirkpatrick5194]

I'm also a Roman numeral fantic and it has to be rectangular one also. Bulova was my mom's favorite watch.

[@huertoeloasis]

I do like Pagani design, I know you don't, but it is an affordable alternative and most of their watches are seiko machine. So why support seiko, and not PD?

[@andreleverettejr3747]

I think they made a mistake or they just didn't know the difference between a homage watch and a replica, and sadly sir you didn't catch it either.

[@huertoeloasis]

@@andreleverettejr3747 agree with you, I think they don't know pagani design is a homage, a replica instead uses the same original logo even.

[@TheXxsylarxx1]

yeah but Pagani Design ist beside the logo a one to one copies. Seiko has some difference size, braclet ect. Pagani Design just life from the name of other brands. They don't have marketing coast or stores. Seiko has their own stores.

[@WDCallahan]

What so you think about Hamilton? I love winding mine up each morning. ~$500

[@adamcohen2632]

Good stuff. I wish Seiko made their version of the Tank in stainless instead of gold. The 34 mm mechanical Timex Marlin is perhaps the greatest value in all of horology. Its not a hommage watch, but a true original. It's perhaps my favorite dress watch even if retails for around only $200.Both the black dial version and the ivory colored one look exquisite and have a vintage feel with the domed crystal. My quibble is not specifically with you, but the trend of substituting big clunky dive watches and other larger bracelet watches for proper dress watches when wearing a blazer or suit. It reminds me of those wearing sneakers with suits. Its just a bad look. Watches have unfortunately become more bling oriented and something someone wear ostentatiously as a visible sign of wealth. A proper dress watch is very hard to pull off once it gets above 40 mm in diameter. If you really have such large wrists you can pull it off, but few that wear them, wear them that well.

I gotta disagree on Homage watches I don’t think they are fakes, most of the time you get the watch you want without paying for the ridiculously expensive name.

[@ehsbk]

Some good suggestions for the most part. For the Orient RA-AS0102S, the watch doesn't have a moon phase. That is actually a 24 hour indicator, with the sun on one half of the dial and the moon on the other half switching every 12 hours, not a true moonphase complication like the JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon.

[@andreleverettejr3747]

Finally one person that knows what he's talking about.

[@jannchavez9257]

They actually have the moonphase watch but it's almost 2 grand

I'm fan of Piaget, Moldova, but since Omega since that one video I watched, since as long as I can remember my dad was as Timex man and so am I I have to get my Indiglo fixed but it's worth it. But mine has to have the date with it. And I love the moon phase on a watch that's if I can find one on it

[@mark7035]

Some good stuff here, but comparing a California dial Nomos to a Calatrava is a pretty big miss. And I’m a huge fan of Nomos! Maybe the Orion, but it’s (appropriately) at a higher price point.

If you can swing it, Tudor Black Bay 36 on the bracelet. The classiest yet tooley-est watch you will ever find. A true James Bond watch. If it needs to be sub $500, Tissot has so many options it is mind-boggling.

Tangente and Ludwig as a direct comparison to a Calatrava? I would say the Orion is the alternative you're after.

[@costakeith9048]

I can't recommend the Tissot Silicium Powermatic 80 enough, MSRP is $775, but you can often find them for around $500. The silicone balance spring gives it time-keeping qualities of a high end chronometer that is 10-50x the price, I have three of them and they all keep more consistent time than my Rolexes, with Chronometer level consistency in the amount of time they lose each day (well under 2 seconds and very consistent -- as in undetectable differences even after extensive testing --- day to day). Before the 20th century, most the value of a watch was in its use as a time piece, losing and gaining as little as possible and, most importantly, losing or gaining the same amount day to day; by those metrics these are top end watches, superior to much of the Rolex line and even older Philippe Pateks for a fraction of the price. For those of us who still value the quality and consistency of the movement over the external design and prestige value of the watch, the Tissot Silicium Powermatic 80s simply cannot be beat. I would feel comfortable using one as my sole chronometer navigating a transoceanic crossing and there aren't many mechanical watches I can say that about, certainly no other ones anywhere near that price point.

If you like the Cartier Tank and have around $600 to spend i would highly recommend the Lortier Zypher

Back in 1984 when graduating from college I received a Rolex GMT Master. It was about $1,500 give or take and continues to serve me well. Saying that, DO be careful in this day and age wearing luxury watches in public. In Southern California and some other places, snatching watches off the wrist is becoming a daily problem. A lot of the victims were older folks who who were pushed down to the ground during the theft. With cooler weather, keeping them under long sleeves or a jacket while in public is a good idea. Recently, a half million dollar watch was ripped off the arm of a sidewalk dining patron in Beverly Hills of all places and if it can happen in Beverly Hills, it can happen anywhere.

Your mistake of replica vs homage, California dial vs Roman numeral dial, am/pm indicator vs moon phase indicator, and others doesn’t help. The best advice I ever give anyone when it comes to watches is do your own research. Another is wear what you like and what speaks to you, not what someone else tells you to.

An object must, first of all, perform the function for which it was intended. It must be reliable, and also cost effective. Why pay $1000 when $100 will do just as well. A watch must tell time and, maybe, date. Period. An automobile must take you from here to there safely and with a modicum of comfort. Period. And so forth. Everything else is a waste of money. If you have money, invest it, do not waste it in something flashy that will only make you a target for muggers. Nuff said.

Not jazzed up with push buttons. No date. No twisting bezel. Now find a current watch without roman numerals, without a date, with a white or silver backing, with a leather strap. Good luck. I have out-of-date, out-of-production Hamiltons, walthams. Cannot find a gentleman's watch currently produced. I don't want a watch that has a large emblem advertising the manufactuer either.

I actually don't care much to have a watch that is or looks like it's from a luxury brand. I more so just like the classic, timeless and vintage styles of watches in general. So I got a $100 watch, but it looks classic and aside from not handling water very well, works just fine. I easily protect it from rain by keeping it covered by my sleeve. I've had it for 3 years, only needed to change the battery once so far, and it still looks pretty much new even though I've been wearing it almost every day. It's an MVMT watch. That brand sells cheap watches in classic styles. Of course they don't look like luxury watches, nor do they have quite that level of quality, but I think they're alright as a budget alternative. Even in my style in general I don't aim at looking any richer than I am, and since I'm at around the poverty line, I prefer to dress like a 1920's poorer person, with slacks, poorly fitted button ups, suspenders, flat cap, tweed jackets and odd vests that look plain and worn. It's funny to me that by modern standards, even that is considered a formal look. Although I have suits and love wearing them, there's just zero opportunity in my life to do so without looking ridiculously overdressed. So even if I could get my hands on a very expensive watch, it would look very out of place with how casual my outfits are.

First lol

Still waiting for the budget watches. $500 is enough to grocery for 5 months.

[@andreleverettejr3747]

Any cheaper than $100 and you don't have a watch, you have an eventual paperweight

@@andreleverettejr3747 I still have a $10 no name brand I wear. Looks good and works. Just needs a battery swapped every 5 years.

@@andreleverettejr3747 thats just not true. you can get a great watch for under 100$ - mostly from Casio, they make a few realy great watches for way under 100$. Also Timex have a few nice watches for less then 100 or even 50$. Also there is a great uprising of affordable, but realy great chinese watches, that are made way better, then the price will told. and.. there is always the second hand market. there are a lot of 60s and 70s vintage watches in great condition on the market for 20 - 40$. and, of cource, there is the Orient Tri-Star and the Seiko 4 Sports range. great looking watches, that are reliable and well respected.

[@costakeith9048]

You can find plenty under $100 that keep better time than a $1,000,000 Philippe Patek. Us watch nerds like the mechanical movements and will pay top dollar for them, but there's no beating a Quartz movement for either price or accuracy, quartz time keeping is one of the wonders of the world for those who understand it and there's nothing wrong with getting a watch that you like with a Quartz movement and just changing the battery from time to time.

Love ya buddy but you’re collar looks …. well….you know.

Did you watch 'til the end? ;)

As per the internals, Hamilton is the best value for the money.

[@andreleverettejr3747]

Tissot would like to have a word with you sir.

[@DB-fn3fz]

@@andreleverettejr3747 Hamilton's range is largely automatic for a reason. They are a military watch company with demands for high performance and reliability at a low price. Tissot watches are built at lower demands aka office use, and therefore don't require such robust and high quality internals. Regarding number of jewels and the reliability, all divided by price, Hamilton is still unbeatable, not even by Tissot. And I like Tissot.
