jackal58590 If you think your fake Rolex looks or feels real, or is just as amazing. You have never held an expensive timepiece. There are extremely sophisticated machines developed in a time without battery power. Its about mechanics, and how machines work. Its about precision hand made pieces assembled by expert craftsmen. They are pieces of top of line metals minerals and jewels. Your fake plastic Rolex made by a 6 year old in China would feel bad, look bad, work poorly, carry no value of self worth or sophistication to the owner and be an obvious fake to anyone with similar interests. Its not about the Rolex brand, Swiss pieces generally are of good quality. Dont support the fakers, if you cant afford a real one buy a Victorinox or something at least.

The Royal Australian Navy Clearance Divers (Australia's answer to the British Navy's Special Boat Service and the US Navy SEALs) wore Certina DS dive watches during the Vietnam War. Five-times 500cc/Moto GP World Champion wore Certina watches during his career. So, Certina is a brand with history. Oris have developed a reputation for producing dive watches of great quality. The Pro Pilot range also offer the same level of quality and value. They are a good alternative for those who are looking for a stylish Swiss made pilot's watch that possesses charm, but can't afford a Breitling or an IWC. Fortis is also another brand worth checking out. Sinn make watches of exceptional quality for a price lower than some very notable Swiss rivals. German astronaut Reinhard Furrer wore a Sinn 140S PVD chronograph as member of the Spacelab D1 mission. It was the first automatic watch worn by an astronaut on a space mission. Two other astronauts have worn Sinn watches in space on the MIR Space Station (1992) and on the Spacelab D2 mission (1993).

It has exceeded my expectations and is so easy to wear due to it's lightweight ceramic case. I left it down for 5 days and it was still holding exact time without missing a second. Amazing.

Thanks. You have now shown me my next 'dream' watch. My normal watch style is what are normally considered to be dress watches. Simple, elegant, usually thin and discrete and maybe with some additional features if they can be fitted into the form factor. But more often than not, white face, rose gold colour bezel and so forth. I generally do not like big chunky watches. But there are a very few exceptions. And as soon as I clapped eyes on the _Oris_ _Big_ _Crown_ _ProPilot_ _Calibre_ _111_ _Power_ _Reserve_ I was instantly taken with it. It's even half way affordable, though I'd have to do a bit of saving for it.

I agree with you that the Certina and Oris big crown pro-pilot watches are way under rated. I'd love to get an Oris with the 10 power reserve, and may yet do so. I think that the Blancpain and Omega suffer from being poorly (= over priced) at retail. Why watch brands do this dis-service to their products is beyond me. The Constellation design and size has its issues, too granted the oversize trend of today's models. I enjoyed this video and thank you for making it.

Nice video, and a good selection of great watches. I actually looked at the Blancpain just a few days ago, and while it is beautiful, for me, in terms of looks, it's doesn't come across as a dive watch. Maybe it's just me. I live close to an area in Istanbul where literally side by side walking down the street we have the stores of Omega, Rolex, Blancpain, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, Chopard, and others. It's a watch enthusiasts paradise. I do really like the Omega you showed and I agree Certina is underrated.

Very nice reviews as usual, an interesting and original take. A friend of mine has an Oris Pro Pilot by the way... and I asked him how the accuracy is and he said perfect... I asked him more detail, and he said, he set the time to an atomic clock, then observed it one month later, and it had not lost or gained a single second.. it was bang on time. For 1300 CHF thats a good deal.

Cannot say I have an issue with standard eta movements. I have a Hamilton with the old eta 2824-2 (though it's an elabore), 42mm diameter crystal, with a very classy look (which was partly why I went with Hamilton and it's rich history; would love to find one of their old pocket watches in decent shape). Simply love it, and I know it and the other calibres will be handed down, or worse case scenario .. sold. For classy beater wear though, the automatic Seiko's are nice .. minus the lack of hacking (4R15 plain jane calibre).

Love the channel, a wealth of useful information and opinion. One slight issue, as this is one of the most common misconceptions in the watch world. The Omega "Manhattan" Constellation was not designed by Gerald Genta, as so many others have also offered attribution to, but rather by a Geneva School of Decorative Arts graduate, Carol Didisheim. Easy mistake to make, as it is somewhat of an urban myth, and the bracelet certainly looks all Genta. Keep up the good work, and I will continue to enjoy your commentary.

Hi Armand - as a professional pilot I can only fortify your opinion on the Sinn ST103, besides your information it just has all the functions a real pilot needs - not more - not less, and it fulfilles these functions to perfection. I think it's also worth to mention that you can upgrade the basic model with a saphire glass bottom and an original metal wristband for an affordable price later on, furthermore the watch holds it's value rising slightly in price in 3 to 5 year periods. So if anybody is interested in representing a real professional aviators watch go for the Sinn.

Good morning Armand and many thanks for yet another thought provoking post. One which, as is usually the case, I found, even at this early hour, interesting indeed I agree with your thoughts around the brand Certina, after a brief resurgence about three years ago they do now appear to have gone off the radar somewhat, in favour of the usual suspects Squale, Steinhart, the omnipresent Seiko, Rolex and of course Omega. The power of the tube eh! Lol. As for the matter of Blancpain that you've brought to the fore towards the end of your fine video. Well what can I say? It leaves me with mixed feelings indeed and not a little angered actually. Towit. Imagine, pre reduction in price, that you'd had the misfortune to actually pay £11,000 of your own money to your AD walked out of the shop proudly sporting your brand new Blancpain Bathscape, perhaps patting yourself on the back for your insightfulness and remarkable good taste. How are you feeling now in the knowledge that you donated, a year or two ago five to six thousand pounds to your watch dealers holiday fund, new car, bar or brothel bill lol.. Not best pleased I'll wager lol. The upshot of all this being how we as watch enthusiasts are in effect being regularly robbed blind by the very people we respect, admire and, to an extent put our trust in. A bitter pill indeed. I'm just very glad indeed that I was not one of the Blancpain benefactors. Lol. Anyway moan over. Thank you very much again for the video I hope you have a good day bye for now.

A personal and very honest review just because some of the prices are out of the range for some people it doesn't mean they aren't good buys. I can't believe omega is mentioned here, I'm a big omega fan and owner but they are chasing Rolex big time and their prices have risen accordingly. It's like saying the white dialed Rolex explorer 2 is a bargain because it's second hand value is less than other models.

Agree that the Oris Big Crown ProPilot calibre 111 is underrated given that they have produced their own in-house movement. But at the same time I believe it is pricey for an Oris. At that price point there are many watches to choose from. Another watch which I think it's underrated is the Tag Heure carrera 01.

I have an automatic stainless steel Seiko that I got new on sale for $35 and it has been running perfectly for 30 years. I love the fact that there is no battery and it has a solid feel but is not a huge weight on my wrist. My day had some Swiss Automatic for 60 years which he bought at Geneva Airport before WW2. When he died my sister took it and last I heard it is still working.

JoachimderZweite In fairness, your watch would be, in today's money, $100-$200. There are many great, long-lasting, quality watches in that range. A $35 watch today, however, is disposable. You chose well and I'm glad to hear the old bugger is still running!

mrfuriouser I bought (traded a ruger black hawk pistol) a big clunky self winding rubber strapped seiko dive watch in 1990. I wore it through basic, OCS, OBC, and through the rest of my rather energetic infantry career. When I began practice as an attorney I bought a submariner which I wear to this day. But the Seiko sits in an honored place in my safe, a bit scratched, but mostly unharmed. I hope to have a worthy son in law one day.

Totally underrated and yet cheap and brilliant is the Luminox SL201 Sentry. Looks great, fabulous night time visibility, light and comfy and yet only €175. Can't beat it. had all the sexy mechanical watches in my time including plenty of Breitlings but they are heavy, worry some and don't keep good time.

IMO the most overlooked watches are Citizen mechanical watches. While their Eco Drive models are excellent, the solar quartz models have vastly overshadowed the company's automatic time pieces.

Never heard anyone call a Sinn 103 or a Oris Big Crown "underrated". I do agree the 103 is maybe a little cheaper than it should be. I think it's main issue is it looks a lot like the 104, but is more expensive, and often times people will want to avoid the chronograph functions because they can make a dial a little too busy.

I love watches and have several [cheap] mechanical. Sometimes it's a case of what they mean to you. I would love to get a copy of my very first Timex watch, bought in the late 70's. I spent more time just looking at that watch than looking at what time it was. However my latest is a Dr. Who watch £160. Not a lot when you consider parts are Gold plated. Unfortunately it was losing 3 minutes a day, yes ironical a time lord watch losing time. Or maybe I was going back in time..slowly. either way I'm getting it regulated. Love time pieces or anything intricate, love the video but I am a window watcher [no pun intended]
