These Watches Are SO BAD

[@kaunas888]

Even the standards of Swiss watches The Nautilus is just so unbelievably overpriced. I think that its main attraction is that it is overpriced. The Nautilus is a steel watch with an awkward looking bezel, but everyone pretends that it is some kind of sacred object, because it is really expensive and Patek makes them hard to buy on purpose. If Patek were not printed on it, then it would be an odd curiosity from the 70s, that almost everyone would ignore.

[@tomjones2056]

Funny cuz Patek canceled it because it was normie tier 😂

I have had the Milgauss since 2011, wear it almost everyday, and love it as much now as then. To each their own 🤘

[@charp150]

The Milgauss is an amazing piece. Between the orange lightning hand and the green crystal it has some of the most unique features of any Rolex. I also daily wear one. It will come back. They have too much of a cult following.

[@law4853]

yep, I wear my z-blue almost every weekend. I have not seen anyone else wear one. I always see a sub/datejust and sometimes a gmt in wealthier areas.

I was lucky enough to purchase a Milgauss in Z Blue in 2022 and I'm over the moon with it. Makes me smile every day and is the perfect combination for the office, leisure and sports. Never looks out of place and for those who know, it always gets positive comments. In a world full of Submariners, be a Milgauss.

[@robdixon5016]

Its a beautiful watch!

[@silktruck7933]

Whoa...what's the model on the first Rolex? I'm not a fan of the iced out watches either but that one looks very well put together.

Yeah iced watches just seem super tacky and a means to raise the price to get more money

[@Greysprunkiyay]

EDIT GMT Master of some sort. Looked factory made though

[@cos-9113]

Considering price and hype, I’d have to agree with the Jug Ear Nautilus. I think it is the attempt at symmetry, which makes the ears. The celebrity hype has made that watch. It’s bracelet looks nice, just redesign the watch!

[@samuelkling6824]

Rolex doesn‘t hate the milgauss, the air King was discontinued a long time too, but came back. I think the milgauss will make it’s way back

[@jabbahursty]

invicta = low price, outrageously gaudy, massive designs largely aimed at young men. fast fashion, not high quality. my invicta is a 1953, good looking and worth the hundred bucks it costs. i used to live in the same area where the invicta guy lives. used to ride my bicycle by his house often. never got a chance to speak with him though

[@AATGClan]

I agree. I believe the patek nautilus is the most overrated watch. The wings don't look good and the bezel has always looked too thick imo. It's like a donut is surrounding the dial.

[@brettkeeler8822]

I actually think the Milgauss is the one Rolex I actually like. The rest of your takes were spot on, including the Nautalist.

[@Trip2Shiesty]

Milgaus is actually one of my favorite Rolex cause it’s so unique and the colors are perfect & the whole fun vibe is right up my alley & I love the lightning bolt second hand I hope I can find one when it’s time to buy my first Rolex

[@tfresh99]

Royal Oak is BORING in appearance, Nautilus is unique,instantly recognizable like few other watches are

[@balesjo]

I must be one of the rare people who actually liked the Rolex Milgauss. As for the Patek Nautilus, I think it would not be that bad if they ripped the wings off and made it a simple designed dial that tells the time and date. But it's pretty much a moot point for me, since I don't have even a remote chance of ever having to decide to buy one or pass on it!

[@MichaelLaing71]

I am going to say the Grand Seiko Majestic White Birch. I just makes me think a hyperactive kid, who has eaten all the E numbers, has been let loose with a lino cutter, whilst their parent is drunkenly passed out after drinking too much wine.

[@spazz27]

I actually agree with the Nautilus (just not more than Hublot haha), for me though, what I wish I could ask Genta is why the bezel shape is so indecisive? I want to know what was the inspiration behind what looks like a rounded rectangle but with jagged edges and not smooth… maybe smooth would make it too simple and a little too much like their Elipse… in fact I suspect that’s where the idea must have come from, but for sure the other 2 designs among that trio are much better…

[@rolandsv8]

Funny- if i EVER would consider Rolex , it would be Milgauss. It is the only Rolex which is cool.

[@nickinportland]

3:13 id say just wear what you like. I have my dad’s gold day date, with factory diamonds and I wear it often and literally nobody says anything about it 😂. My timex Pepsi Q GMT gets much more mentions. And I can wear the timex with much less concern of being murdered.

[@noonneel]

i hate ap royal oak offshore . i thing the octogonal shape with pins only kills with sleak metallic finish. it is suppoesed to be a classic looking watch. to me in specific it is not made for quirky sport look

[@harshsharma6911]

I love timex watches , the Waterbury's are really good lookin and the movements are also good...but i don't know why timex is not popular than any other watches in the same price category like casio

[@ryanyu102]

Personally prefer the Nautilus over the Royal Oak. I kinda find the royal oak is too industrial for me.

[@remus2001]

I hated the Nautilus until I saw that the bezel opens up like a porthole on a ship. The left side is a hinge. After that I don’t mind the design that much.

[@ivanharlokin]

I'll never own one, but I think the Nautlius has an amazing case shape, evoking something from Jules Verne. Tastes vary, but there's no shortage of people online being controversial just to seem edgy.

[@BilletMignon]

Hello Andrew and Tom! Have you guys considered forming a list of the 'brightest' watches that use tritium tubes and/or the super-luminova paint? I'm curious what glowing timepieces you guys would pick out.

They never actually said the moonswatch would be online. I don't know how people came to that conclusion. I was pointing it out at the time. All they said was that they would be more widely available at swatch stores.

Sorry, but y'all are wong about the Milgauss. It's a great understated watch with a good history to it.

[@matthewbrotman2907]

WF did a video on the Milgauss a while back. The problem with it is it’s basically an OP - same case, same movement - with a green crystal and a wacky second hand, for an extra $3000.

[@tailsneon556]

@@matthewbrotman2907 The Milgauss uses a completely different case with an inner soft iron faraday cage with a second inner case back. It's 40mm vs the OP39. It's also considerably thicker. It shares the 3131 with the Air King not the 3132 in the OP.

[@gorillaofjohn15]

it is a great watch. The submariner is good and nice. But for the opportunity of what you can get with that money, it is for people without their own sense of style, so choose to stay safe and stick with a safe choice. Because they cannot discern past the fact that the submariner appeals to mass taste and cant go wrong. But give them a blank piece of paper, they cannot even draw out what they like.

I'll defend the SBGC253 (as someone who owns the 249) lol. It's quite a lot, but it's also the ultimate watch of practicality, and it's surprisingly ultra legible in person. It's also one of the most comfortable watches I own. It's...an acquired taste. But it's not bad!

It is funny how the graph measuring coolness/authenticity against gaudiness/level of bling goes in the opposite direction to what most rappers think.

[@Magik1369]

If you allow a watch to determine your "status" and to give you self esteem and a feeling of being "good enough", you will waste a lot of money and won't find what you are really looking for. The search for the perfect watch is based in unconscious projection.

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

Moonswatch is $270 here in the US. I got one just to see what its about and to review on my channel... It's a neat novelty, but when you feel the watch, the strap and the packaging, there is no escaping that this is a $69 Swatch with an Omega logo, and they just jacked up the price because of that logo. It feels cheap, the "crystal" is plastic and scratches just by raising your voice to it... It's a crap watch at Seiko or Orient pricing...

My only problem with Hublot are the unaligned bezel screws. It's all I can think about when I look at one of their watches, and for the models that aren't too gaudy for my taste they just end up overshadowing everything else.

[@tonygluk1]

Nautilus’ bezel shape makes me uncomfortable to the point of infuriation. Angles are barely noticeable, but just enough to produce a feeling that something’s not right. I get that they tried to strike a balance between jagged and smooth, but to me it looks like an obviously failed attempt somehow got into production. I don’t know, maybe it’s one of those watches that look weird in photos but are absolutely charming in person.

[@iamamucha2914]

I won't lie. I love the moonswatch. I had a vacation to Germany and bought one at a boutique but I have to completely agree that it is a tough love from beginning your research on it to actually using it. The ticks from the second hand are so loud it's Timex weekender level and quality is not enough for the price. Mine has a chip in it or something and a smudge on the crystal probably more scratch but smudge appearing and the like velcro strap is cool on some of them and I got the mission to mars but still on the fence about it visually. I still love it honestly but I would never argue in saying it is too expensive and not good enough in it's current state. I really think a mechaquartz or hi frequency quartz or just a different material would have elevated it to being amazing or just a lower price tag. Imagine a stainless steel version of it in the same exact way it is now and maybe not acrylic but mineral or sapphire. I'd even pay somewhere around 300-350 euro even with the quartz movement. At least my one issue with the movement noise would be helped by a different material.

[@turk914]

I think you're spot on about a mechaquartz movement being a good idea in the Moonswatch. I was in Georgia (the country) over New Years, and the Swatch shop in Tblisi had tons of them. But after holding one, it really is a cheap watch. It just felt like it came in one of those gumball machine plastic bubbles. And the ticking was just horrible. That being said, I was truly on the fence about it, for the novelty of owning a sort-of Omega. And if they had had one of the more muted colors that I prefer instead of the very bright models, I might have pulled the trigger. And maybe I should have just to put it on Ebay. But I went home without one. I will be back in Europe in early May (Germany, Czechia, and Slovenia), so I may change my mind and grab one if they are available somewhere.

[@hammyjammies]

The Grand Seiko would look absolutely fine if everything wasn't out of place and wonky. The GS logo being over towards 11 rather than dead center is very weird! Shift everything to more traditional chronograph location and it'd be so much better

[@danielburke9980]

I vocally agree that the nautilus is not an attractive design, though it still exudes class. If I wanted an integrated bracelet watch, I’d take a VC Overseas any day of the week. I’m also not a Royal Oak fan though.

[@RubmaLione]

Iced out watches are just a big let down. I do appreciate watches with fine gems and diamonds embedded *elegantly*, but in a restrained way. However, fully icing out a watch is just embarrassing, and a majority of these are second hand with custom gem setting, most likely with fake or lower-quality.

[@GeauxstBordeaux]

Completely agree about the Nautilus. As a designer, I feel it is just a status watch where people want to overlook the design. I do disagree with the Milgauss as I'm not, particularly a fan of most Rolex watches. I appreciate the Milgaussand other perpetuals like a 1908

[@Gersberms]

I was gifted a Stauer watch (because I did someone a favor) and I appreciate the gesture, but it has to be the worst value for money you can get. It cost about $100, is quartz, has 3 functional sub dials, and yet, it's worse than those $10 printed-dial dress watches they have at the discount clothing store. It's offensively poorly made. The brand tries hard to look legit, judging by their website and brochure, but it's absolute crap. I'd rather have a gaudy Invicta, I think, at least they tried something new.

[@Atombender]

The Nautilus is supposed to look like an old school diver's helmet from the Jules Verne novel 20,000 "Leagues under the Sea". I don't find it hideous but I think that Gerald Genta missed the mark a bit. No comparison to the Royal Oak, which is perfectly designed and also has a nice backstory.

[@StrikeWarlock]

Yea, im also a GS stan and i share the same opinion about that particular GS. It feels like the antithesis of what makes a GS a GS in terms of aesthetics.

[@TrueOrKnow]

As I agree about the milgauss in a in a technically way. The resistance to a magnetic field rating of 1000 is by far more than any normal person would not need. More because they push it out about how good it is. While Omega can withstand 15000 and actually probably more. In response to companies like Invicta. Not pushing the envelope, is trend I see especially in the Microbrand community. I'm hoping that my Microbrand company I own and design for, buck the trend by my current watch design. I'm attempting to add a 5 hrz movement along with the first Microbrand to bring a minute repeater to the table. A truly lofty goal. 👍

[@fenianlewis]

I think the nautilus looks nicer than the royal oak. I actually really don't like the royal oak, it's too industrial, exposed screws are outdated, it's just not my thing. The Nautilus is all the desirable elements but more timeless. No exposed screws, a clean taper and a simplistic but uniform bracelet.
