[@barryrodrigues6876]

This is a great list but I strongly believe the Patek Philippe Calatrava is a great old money watch and definitely deserves to be on this list for the fact that it's understated and flies below the radar...a trademark characteristic of old money wealth.😁

[@phillipsheppard5361]

I don’t know that anyone would disagree that the Patek Philippe Calatrava is a great watch, the only question is do you want to spend $33,000 dollars on a watch? And if you did would you actually wear it? I inherited a Rolex Daytona which is worth no where near what a Calatrava is, and I won’t wear it.

[@barryrodrigues6876]

I agree with you about the wearability of a Patek Philippe Calatrava, it is definitely not as versatile as a Rolex Oyster Perpetual. However, I don't think this video was about expensive watches, or else Antonio wouldn't have featured AP in here. It's more about what signals old money.

[@ahoneyman]

Eh, other companies make dress watches like the Calatrava. It's not iconic really. In the Patek realm go Lange and Sohne or maybe Glashutte. Or slum it and go Longines.

[@icebergwtq]

It's iconic. @@ahoneyman

[@barryrodrigues6876]

@ahoneyman the Longines dress watch range is quite good, I'll admit. Very simple yet sophisticated. But again, the video wasn't about popular watches, albeit the JLC Reverso and others here are quite popular. The idea of old money is the opposite of today's Instagram or Influencer driven, show-off - "Look at what I'm wearing" culture. So, while brands like Lange and Sohne have become popular and have absolutely great watches, they don't signify old money (in my opinion). In the end, I guess it's about what you're comfortable wearing when you are wealthy. And if that's a Casio G Shock, power to you!

[@LuisMartinez-kg3nq]

What about the Grand Seiko's . I like the looks of the one snow scene.

[@Mike-108_v_]

As a daily wear beater, the G-shock "solar" (no battery changing) is good... 4 years... no issues. I hardly ever take it off, except when showering. In bed, it's easy to hit the light button to see the time... without having to maneuver toward the bedstand.

[@АлександрНикитин-б3с8я]

Я ношу такие часы уже 11 лет, и они очень хороши. Заменил только ремень. Ничто не вечно.

[@TheRobSJ]

AP is probably more new money than old money. Just so much hype over them right now brings in all the ballers. At least the Royal Oak. I would trade AP out for Vacheron Constantin on this list. You see someone wearing an Overseas, you know they know watches, and you know they’ve got deep pockets.

[@EndtheWokeMadness]

The original Steve McQueen Monaco watch was a Heuer. The company didn't become Tag Heuer until 1985. Just to clarify.

This is a fabulous video Antonio. I wear a G-Shock original exactly as you mentioned and it's still my favourite. I've also got a JLC and an OP after having far heavier hitters over the years but came back to these masterpieces. I've a couple of vintage birth year pieces left to find and a newer 'fun' Rolex to add but after years of excess, finally whittling it down I'm pretty content.

[@michaelbreder4479]

Great list of watches. I would add the Omega Speedmaster Professional. This watch is pure class and any watch aficionado will appreciate this watch’s history.

[@raymondlocke2741]

Another great video Antonio, I'd definitely add the Rolex Day-Date, Cartier Tank and the Vacheron Constantin 222. 👍

[@chadsmith3722]

The G-Shock was always a go to for the defence forces, I call mine my war watch. It is black with blue highlights, has been bashed and smashed and still ticks. I have been looking at the IWC Schaffhausen Portofino Complete Calendar, it just looks so nice.

[@kortanioslastofhisname]

If you want to go for the minimalist timeless elegance side of old money style, some higher-end to high-end German watchmakers should be on your radar as well: Junghans, Nomos Glashütte, and MeisterSinger would be my recommendations.

[@Ibiza.Motorbike.Enthusiasts]

Thanks for bringing up the Monta brand, I really love the Noble with that exquisit blue dial!

[@grantglover1799]

Loved the video and agree with all on the list and also agree that it could have easily been twice as long. I was wondering if when you have time and I’m sure that’s limited, you might do lists for those that really capture the essence of each decade. I’m sure that would be fascinating not just for me. Plus gives you an opportunity for a series of videos. I personally really like 70s styling. Thanks again!

[@soberguycarmansimpson5836]

In the 70’s I remember the gold Piaget Polo and the Corum gold coin watches.

[@grantglover1799]

@@soberguycarmansimpson5836 I love the bold colors often used, the turtle shapes, and often thought gaudy multi complication bezel designs. They just had a certain vibe then I personally enjoy. Being born in the 80s, unfortunately it was before my time.

Bremont. Just over 20 years in business out of Britain. Timeless old school designs and they do tons of custom jobs. Primarily for military groups. I.e graduating classes of military academy’s and military squadrons all over the world. Their story alone is worth a look.

[@dux_bellorum]

[@DuxEtRex]

Tudor BB58. Nothing is more needed. Best do everything watch. At a semi approachable price.

[@lewislin3]

For Omegas, I’ll pick a speedmaster over a seamaster. Classic designs with a great history. You can also have a bunch of different variations to choose from

[@sk8girldecks11]

The OP 36mm is my absolute perfect watch if only I could get one. I refuse to pay over retail so my current watch is an Omega Aqua Terra 38mm.

[@pzshi]

[@josephfischetti2040]

I like your presentation and choices. Having some overlap with your selected time pieces, I would like to hear your thoughts on Breguet, Blancpain, maybe a Baum et Mercier?

[@Mojitto-San]

I personally love the Casio A-158WA vintage watch. It's not super expensive or very feature rich, but that's the point. it's simple, it's digital and it has a silver bracelet, everything I need in a classic

[@SoLazy100]

Never understood the appeal of the Submariner or Dive Watches in general for that matter. The Oyster Perpetual is perfect though. If I ever get myself a Rolex, this will probably be it. The fact that it's a most affordable of the lot is an extra bonus.

[@soberguycarmansimpson5836]

Yeah, but, how will you know when your frozen pizza is done?

[@jefflogsdon3328]

New dive watches (>42mm) are silly. But a vintage or reissue diver (38mm or smaller) are the perfect everyday watch.

[@jefflogsdon3328]

I’m glad you opened with the Santos de Cartier. I can’t afford one, but it’s my favorite watch.

[@classyjuanito]

Hey Antonio i was wondering if you could make an in depth guide on how to wear glasses and still be stylish. Love your videos

[@walterfoyt5985]

As for a dive watch I prefers my submarine, which I got back in the 1960s when I was in the military. I’m also a SCUBA instructor. I know you included a Santos de Cartier but you should have included a Cartier Tank, which was worn by Princes Die, Jackie Kennedy, Andy Warhol to name a few. I think you should have also included a Bulova, which was good enough for Frank.

[@nickgee7291]

Great choice on the Cartier! The Santos and the Tank are my 2 favorite watches! So perfectly balanced and proportioned. Tag Heuer as a brand too has allot of fun, sporty models

[@DWilliam1]

The essential Old Money watches are(you covered a few): 1. Cartier Santos de Cartier steel or Tank Louis gold 2. Rolex DateJust steel 3. Rolex Sub, blackface steel 4. JLC Reverso gold 5. Patek Calatrava gold 6. Breguet Type XX Transatlantique steel 7. BlancPain Fifty Fathom steel 8. VC Historique American Platinum or Patrimony gold 9. Philippe Dufour Grande Sonnerie gold The Patek is the most “old money” of all the watches and you could have gone with a perpetual calendar or a Nautilus also.

[@Nomad_783]

very comprehensive list.totally agree on them especially the rolex piece as rolex isn my favorite but that base model is the one for this list and needs to be mentioned. For omega i like better the Seamaster/aquaterra line which is more classy design yet can function as well as a seamaster. AP is a must for sure. Ulysse Nardin, Breguet, and some others could be on the list but of course the list is endless and you cant include everything. Nice video good job.

[@tylerhmccart]

[@soberguycarmansimpson5836]

I’m sorry Eric, but none of those watches are likely to be working 2 years from now. So sorry, but real quality watches cost way more than that. You might try making payments on a Hamilton mechanical,$700 - $1000, or a Citizen or Seiko light rechargeable quartz, $350-$1000, 😂or the worlds best deal on a watch; the Longines Ultra High Precision, 7 year battery, perpetual calendar, sports watch.

[@yorbalindason]

I have a blue Seamaster “Goldeneye” era watch it’s a nice piece. I’d like an Aqua Terra or a Longines Conquest or a Grand Seiko. I’m not old money nor do I seek that but don’t mind an older classic. Cars Antonio? There’s plenty of channels for that but pretty sure you could riff for 10 min on a good list. I’ll start - any Porsche 911.

[@MrJara2]

Gshock's are dope

[@butters6295]

I would add the Omega Speedmaster. Maybe it is because I live in Space City, but that watch is a beauty and will never go out of style. I personally like it more than the seamaster and think it looks better formal.

[@soberguycarmansimpson5836]

Hey Butters, cool name. I love the Speedmaster also, but it is a sports watch and entirely too big to wear with a formal suit because it can catch on the cuff and not let your jacket sleeve hang all the way down. These days people would just notice your cool watch and maybe compliment you on it. But, old money would look down their nose at you for wearing the wrong kind of watch for the occasion. They wouldn’t say anything of course. But if it was a dress occasion they might assume that you only owned one watch. Not good if you were hoping to make business contacts. Sorry.

All of them are beautiful, that's for sure, but I myself actually like telling the time in my watches. So that Audemars Piguet is a no-go for me. Not like I can afford one anyway 😁

[@LTTang]

For the young gentlemen just starting out in the business or dressy technology world, I would suggest a less expensive watch, the Tag Huer Aquaracer. They are relatively much less expensive than the watches mentioned in this video. These are dressy and sporty at the same time. The quartz version is much more of a value proposition.

[@icebergwtq]

Old money? Well, GHW Bush wore a Timex Indiglow on a nylon strap. My best pal from boarding school wears a Rolex President as an everyday watch, but loves his Calatrava, wears it very often, and likens the difference between them as about the same as that between a Volkswagen Golf and an Aston Martin DB4GT (which he also owns and often drives). I sometimes wear a Hamilton Altair given to me by my dad, also a VC triple calendar from the same source.

love that Seamaster, just pure class, but not sure about the reverso, just never resonated with me and I think the old school calatravas are better, but yeah it's very personal :)

[@soberguycarmansimpson5836]

I think that nostalgia may have a lot to do with it. I the 1930’s and 40’s, Hamilton’s rectangular Art Deco watches in their gold filled and 10kt gold watches really ruled America. Elgin and Waltham and all the others based on the Cartier Tank were super popular. As was the much better and more expensive LeCoutre Reverso. However, the round dial Calatrava was more legible to those beginning to need reading glasses. Many people forget legibility was also a factor in helping early Rolexes to gain sales. ( regardless of their crudeness compared to the finer Swiss watches). The first super high quality wrist watch, the Patek Phillipe “Calatrava” 1934? Was a breakthrough for old money gents who were used to pocket watches.

[@thetimebombardier]

@@soberguycarmansimpson5836 thanks for the very informed response 😎👍 if I had the money then those older hamilton's would be at the top of my shopping list!! I've reviewed several vintage pieces recently and yes you're right; the nostalgic strings are the ones that resonate loudest 😎👍
