Best Brands That Balance Quality With Cost, Powermatic “Plastic” Parts, Titanium Watches: Q&A

They were very straight forward with me when I got my hydroconquest. They also said I could get it serviced before 5 years for free. But it runs at less than a second a day and I can't see the point in risking that changing tbh

[@1RunnerDad]

I really appreciate that you don’t ignore the money involved in this arena. Too many KZbinrs who talk watches act like it’s not a lot of money to buy something entry level. You never do that. Also, I really appreciate the repeated information on “plastic” powermatics.

I went from purchasing my last electric guitar last may (a Reverend Reeves Gabrels model) after almost 30 years of playing, to now embarking on purchasing my "first legit watch" with actual knowledge and an opinion. Started off with a Casio Duro a few months back but I think I have my heart set on a Seiko Prospex Samurai diver. Cheers to all :)

Hi Teddy. One of your viewers asked about getting the Grand Seiko Snowflake or waiting to save up for the Rolex Explorer. I have an Explorer II on order but in the meantime I purchased the Grand Seiko Snowflake. What a watch. From the exquisite polished titanium case and bracelet to the Snowflake dial and spring drive this watch is simply amazing. It's so light and fits so well on my arm I sometimes forget it's there. You won't be disappointed. Cheers!!!

[@sdb87149]

I love many Rolex models but the Explorer never interested me. IMO the snowflake is a superior watch. Congrats on the purchase!

[@spex7503]

No-one would have had an issue with the Powermatic 80 movement with synthetic parts if it wasn't used in the PRX. The only reason it became a thing was KZbin edgelords deciding they were too cool for the PRX and latching on to whatever criticism they could find. These movements have been in a ton of Tissot and Certina models for many years with no issues and certainly no controversy

The only reason to buy a mechanical watch over a quarts watch to begin with is because you think it's neat. If someone thinks plastic parts in the movement isn't neat, that's obviously going to be a deal breaker for some people. It's up to personal preference, but I don't think it's that strange.

My dad asked my mom to marry him, and then they picked out her engagement ring and both of their wedding rings together.

If this works for engagement and wedding rings it certainly would work for watches.

I’ve loved watches since the late 70s. I still can’t bring myself to spend over $2k CAD (never mind $2kUSD) for a watch. I’ve been happy with everything from Citizen, to Tissot and Hamilton. Closest I got was buying my wife a Tag for our wedding, and 4-ish years later when the battery died and the store wanted to send it away for “service” that cost something ridiculous, it was truly eye opening. On the other hand, my first Swiss watch was a tissot PR50 automatic that I bought in Germany for less than $300cad….30 years later Ive never serviced it and it still keeps time just fine. I understand what makes some watches more expensive, but theres a point of diminishing returns (like a Rolex GMTII "batman" that a store was trying to sell me for $21k US…nice watch, but no thanks).

[@zaidmohammad757]

Well handled sir, particularly the "gift buying" suggestions and the line in the sand on "which should I buy". Love your stuff....

[@pranaviyer6600]

Well, Powermatic 80s. I bought a Le Locle Powermatic (steel, in white with a black strap) about months ago as my first "seriously nice" watch. It's my most worn piece. I've come to realize this: does it deserve the criticism it gets? Sure. But at the same time, what people forget is this - having an 80-hour power reserve is super useful. Half the reason why I wear the Le Locle so much despite it being so dressy is because it's...running. Well, it being under 10mm thick is super helpful as well. But yeah, as an everyday wearer I can put it down over the weekend to take one of the dive watches out, and I know it's still running. Also, I just realized I've been wearing it for two weeks straight and I really doubt I want to change that ;)

[@andreaschristodoulou3416]

As a watchmaker, here is my opinion about the plastic compartments in the powermatic calibre. First of all, i don't think that Hamilton uses that calibre in their watches, not the one with the plastic compartments at least. The pros of using plastic compartments, is that they are "self-lubricant", meaning that they don't need any oils in order to properly function. Resistance in magnetism in kinda irrelevant, because the main compartment you don't want magnetised, is the balance spring. So the calibre overall isn't resilient to magnetism. Also, i don't think that plastic compartments play significant role to the power reserve, i mean they could use different main springs in order to achieve the 80 hours power reserve. As for the cons, plastic compartments cannot be fixed, meaning that if they are broken in any kind of form, they have to be replaced. In my experience, they are a liiiiiiitle bit easier to be broken, compared to original steel ones. To conclude, these movements are not as bad as people describe them, but saying that having plastic compartments in your watches escapement system is better, is an exaggeration to say the least :P

[@chihoivanchin5157]

With the GS vs rolex Explorer question, I would also mention if in doubt, try it out. Sometimes a watch needs to be worn on the wrist to make up the decision which one to buy as the wrist presence for each watch is different and personal preference when the watch is on your wrist is also different. Also the factor of whether they'll sell the watch later to upgrade, if they want to retain better value, then I'd probably go for the rolex explorer, GS is good watch but value retention wise not as much as rolex.

[@yashbinda4521]

most of the people that watch this video/teddy in general wont care about value retention

[@chihoivanchin5157]

​@@yashbinda4521perhaps, but teddy also suggests in many of his videos that when buying a watch the value for money is also a factor to consider. Being a youtuber with certain influences, many will just follow his advice without thinking twice, therefore letting them know extra information like value retention may help them decide which brand they should consider when asking questions like brand A vs brand B.

[@bigwilliearmitage]

Thanks for addressing the "plastic" movement hallucinations -- there is truly nothing to fear from the "High-Tech Escapement". I remember when Canon began using FRP in their 35mm pro camera bodies and people had the same uninformed rage hysteria. Of course, nearly all pro-grade cameras today use FRPs and they are better than ever. Some people just prioritize emotion over facts.

[@BadGuyDennis]

I think the issue with polymer components in Powermatic 80 movement occurs when say 5/6/7 years after being manufactured perhaps, eventually reaching the time to get service. For a standard 2824, you can go any watch maker to get the job done with a fair bit of lower cost. But for those polymer components, will they wear out? From all sources I gathered, yes, eventually they will. Now, here is the deal: can ordinary watch maker have these polymer components available to swap out? Quite certainly, NO! (Confirmed with a handful of businesses insiders.) All we watch collectors can do is bring them back to Swatch group, being charged with higher cost. But remember, those watches were targeted as an entey level with budget in mind. You paid a higher maintenance cost on a budget watch. Can I call it another form of stupid tax?

Regarding wearing a dive watch with a suit: I wear a Longines Legend Diver 36mm, Milano bracelet, black dial. I think it works great, the watch is mall and quite thin, making it a great choice to wear with a suit or a shirt. I think it can be regarded as a dress diver.

[@ryancapps8958]

Chemist here. Titanium is indeed more reactive than stainless steel definitely. Titanium is like aluminum in that it will form a titanium oxide layer on the surface to protect the innards. And that later actually will stick to the original metal unlike iron, which will oxidize and then flake off. If you combine titanium with other possibly harder metals, it is harder to scratch. Hence grade 5 titanium

[@TheLochs]

Interesting. I used to make knives and made a lot of Titanium parts. Grade 5 to be exact. I didn't know Ti can oxidize.

Titanium does create a titanium oxide layer that helps with what was mentioned , stainless has chromium oxide layer. Titanium has more tensile strength, yield strength and durability but Stainless is going to be better when it comes to elasticity, hardness & toughness, which usually means it maintains better surface like we want in watches. I’ve always been attracted to Titanium’s corrosion resistance, color and just how lightweight it is.

My concern about Powermatics is more about the way you can or can't regulate these movements yourself. For all amateur watchmakers it's a shame, and it makes watch enthusiasts more dependant on service centers. I'm waiting for an explanation/demonstration on how regulate these balance wheels withour bending the pivots or destroying the spring.

[@brenmangood]

Gifting watches works if you can make a list of choices for your loved ones. I just keep an Amazon list of watches i like. I let them know what i like, and they can pick something that still surprises me.

[@BAF605]

My big problem with Powermatic movements is not about plastic parts, but the discarding of a simple user adjustable method of regulation, such as was on the ETA 4Hz mechanical and automatic movements. It is the only "affordable" movement that has done this. All Chinese, Japanese, and many Swiss affordable movements don't have this problem. I can't help but think this was a Swatch Group method of upping their repair /service income on these cheaper models. Teddy was fair not to ignore this drawback but is is a problem that didn't exist in 2824s and 2801s.
