7 Best Affordable & Snob Proof Watches Under $1000 - Seiko, Bulova, G-Shock & More

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

It would be really awesome if Bulova made a Lunar pilot with a mechanical hand wind movement. It seems some don't know. That the original LP was not a quartz and I love Quartz but it just seems like a great opportunity for Bulova to really make it like the original that had a Valjoux manual wind movement. Excellent video brotha

[@theurbangentry]

GENIUS ides. I love that, fingers crossed. 🤞🤞🤞 I guess it depends if Citizen/Miyota can create a good chrono caliber. I don't think they even have one that is not quartz, I might be wrong. They will have to go out of group/house, which I don't think the brand will do. Maybe the smoothie sweep of the precisionist is a better compromise, plus it kinda makes sense Accutron-tuning-folk-history wise. Great point, thank you for sharing that. Best regards, TGV

[@aureate]

Seems like a regression to make a chronograph with inferior technology for the sake of an insanely high markup.

[@theurbangentry]

Excellent point, I guess that is why they all wear Casios and not Speedies now. That is true about the inferior tech and high price,, but I heard from the chaps at Fortis, in space their mechanical watches (due to some crazy physics) function better, especially automatics. I kinda like the idea of a mechanical backup that does not rely on a battery or solar.

[@PhantomObserver]

I think the Worn & Wound website did do some research on the original mechanical Lunar Pilot. The original movement did in fact come from Switzerland, from Universal Geneve (which was owned by Bulova at the time), and they also came up with the flat lever pusher design. As for a modern mechanical movement for the LP, I don’t think that would match with their plans to market the LP as a low-budget alternative to the Speedy; the Precisionist movement gives the LP a stronger selling point.

[@aureate]

@@theurbangentry Don't get me wrong, I would love to see it, but the reality is that Bulova would be forced to use a Citizen Group movement, and considering the high markup it inevitably would have, it wouldn't impress the snobs it's targeting and risks being a commercial flop.

[@TopTierTicker]

T! You have no idea how much that meant to me. It's an honour to be featured in one of your videos. Considering that you've pretty much inspired my whole collection journey from the very start, that was a very wholesome moment. So I thank you for the various mentions, and your kind words. You're the man, the GOAT. And of course, great suggestions as always. Although my partner really liked your Seiko Dolce so you might of cost me a new gift 😂

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Kieron, the pleasure and honor is all mine. Keep up the great work and positivity, you do an amazing job, you really do. Regarding the Dolce, if you are interested I still have it. I would be happy to sell it to you and you can surprise her. 😉 Anyways, email me if you are interested. Thanks again my friend. Best regards T.

[@chrisdavis8399]

Why oh why is Bulova not mining their outstanding and historic back catalogue for re-releases??? Some of their vintage military watches are sublime!

[@Horizontalvertigo]

Well, they are though? The Milships, the Accutron (sister brand) Astronaut GMT, the Lunar Pilot itself, the Jet Star they just released, etc, etc.

[@TheTillmanSneakerReview]

Some watches don't need remaking...they're too nostalgic to wear right now, as they'll never be appreciated by the current generation of wearers. It's like asking, "Why don't they make more pocket watches?"

[@Horizontalvertigo]

@@TheTillmanSneakerReviewexcept pocket watches are still made and people do still appreciate them.

[@dallasco]

They're making way too much money from their garbage quartz fashion watches

[@Area_man115]

@@TheTillmanSneakerReviewWhat would be an example of a vintage Bulova wristwatch that is as irretrievably antique as a pocketwatch?

[@williamsmith9561]

I've said it before, "watch collecting isn't a one way street." If you don't look over your shoulder these days you are missing out on some great watches that are good quality, won't break the bank (or your heart if you damage or lose them) and more importantly are really fun to wear. Great vid.

[@GoldenFava]

I just bought a beautiful Seiko chronograph with a panda dial, and I love it. I’ll never be able to afford a Daytona, but this Seiko is so impressive I won’t think about it as a negative at all. Quality is available at all price ranges…great video TUG~

[@steelsteez6118]

TGV, from when i first started watching you (back in the flighty review days...about 10 years ago?) ive been through several relationships, several failures ,and several milestones. But one thing has remained unchanged. Youve always stayed true to your roots. You are the epitome of a true watch lover my friend. Don't ever change!

[@alvinmick218]

Loved this topic and your presentation! Absolutely brilliant! All of the watches highlighted have so much going on with them giving the owners decades of pure enjoyment. So many treasures packed into a single video! Very well done 🥃

[@mascaltzone7]

The “They live” analogy was simply BRILLIANT! Another insightful video. Perfectly executed, Tristano!

[@TheRealBrook1968]

And one of the best B movies.

[@evacaridad]

I’m buying my first Bulova the Marine Star. I’m very excited. After that one I’ll buy my fist automatic watch which will be a Tissot Le Locle. But not going to lie, something about Citizen’s eco drive technology draws me to get one someday

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

YES!!! The ARNIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great show T! Watch snobs are around every show corner!!! Watch out! And wear what the heck you like!;)

[@BAF605]

Good picks. I remember you bringing my attention to the Citizen "lefty" automatic diver when it and the SKX were contemporaries. Now both are history (both Citizen and Seiko have introduced alternatives) but while the SKX in NOS condition is often at crazy money the Citizen can still be found new around $200. It's a very affordable under $1000 watch but the fact that it was used by the Marina Militare as their official dive watch gives it a credibility no watch snob can deny. I have several that will never leave my collection

[@LDLike]

I’ve got Casio, seiko, Dan Henry, and Phobios, as well as Omega, Panerai, Tudor, Rolex, Zenith, Daniel Roth, and my Bi-retro Gerald Genta that I showed the “Urban Gentry” at the Moyer Event several months ago. I am enjoying all these regardless of price.

[@matijasimeunovic8145]

I'm in love with a Q Timex Chronograph more than any other racer I've seen recently. Your point is very good.

[@martinkaplan1805]

Usually I’d agree, but I notice I’ve been getting the most satisfaction from my most expensive watch. The fine case finish, the more precise movement, the dial that mesmerizes, the remarkable attention to detail. Don’t get me wrong, I love my G shock, khaki field, sarb033, SKX, Sinn and Nomos, but it’s my SMP300 that I enjoy the most. Go figure.

Stopped at 0:30 simply to hail your reference to They Live. Couldn't love your channel more at this point - thank you

[@jedlomax100]

Beautifully made as always. These are such useful videos for getting ideas. My watch fun is to get nice pieces for under 500 Euros. So Dan Henrys, Seikos, Orients, Casios are always of interest.

[@WillowExpensive6636]

I specifically asked Junghans what the original was and I was surprised they still made them! Gotta love the proportions and harmony of the design on the original 34mm manual Max Bill. Glad to see it mentioned here.

[@JamesSmith-wy7zk]

What a well spoken, entertaining and thoughtful presentation. I see you have a real passion for watches. Not only for a watch itself, but it’s history. I watch other videos on watches. Some are good as well and others not so well. You have a personal style not like others that really bring a gentleman’s perspective to watch collecting. At 59 I’m new to watch collecting. Right now it’s like being a kid in a candy store. I have started with a few affordable basic classics. And a couple $300 price watches. Now ready to move up in scale. Videos like this one really help me to select next level. Thanks for your help. All the best. Jim from Georgia

[@thebaker8637]

It would be great to see a video about the Casio Oceanus line. They are extremely well finished thin slim analog everyday watches with all the G-Shock tech in the $300-$1500 range. The perfect choice if you need a business-appropriate watch with all the G-Shock ruggedness. They’re Japan only so you’ll need to import them unfortunately.

[@robspadre5519]

Another exceedingly enjoyable installment! The golden age returns - although truth be told I love all of the creativity on this channel. It was a bit curious that Long Island Watch dropped the Bulova today, but it is a fine piece nonetheless. And hey - I happen to love Squale and it was one of the first brands that I ever encountered on this channel! Proud to be original Gentry (I wish you'd say keep it gentry, onwards and upwards again), and thank you TGV!

[@Shri_V]

The big problem with Bulova's 262hz movements is the reduced battery life. I would love for Citizen to find a way to combine their eco-drive tech with their bulova precisionist movements. That would make it truly a fantastic watch.

I hope you are well TGV and thank you for being a voice of reason and inspiration on my most recent acquisition. Best-David

[@timothyhewitt6736]

You are so right about a G Shock, every home needs one. Clearly the square steels the limelight, whether that be the bas 5600, or slightly pricier abd updated 5610. But ultimately there's nothing the base 5600 misses from the 5610, ultimately they both do the same thing, tell the time. However I'll argue you need 3 g-shocks- a Casioak- they wear really nicely, have a 5610, it does everything and has tough solar, but have something special- a 5000u, and put a combi bracelet on it for a premium wearing experience. Those 3 and your g-shock collection is complete.

[@oOoScarecrow31oOo]

- Baltic is in my top 3 watch brands with their clean and vintage design and the good quality that makes their watches looks twice their price tag. - Christopher Ward is also one of the best value for money and it also continues to up their game. - Lorier is slowly but steady doing a great job in that price range. And as mentioned Squale and Hamilton are perfect in this price range.

[@dgdave2673]

Fantastic collection and recommendations TGV! I have the Lunar Pilot. Will look at the Nivada soon. Have a Yema Classic 017 with its in-house auto movement that almost identical to the Junghans.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Regarding the Timex, it's certainly an interesting one, especially the higher end spec/price (well, for a Timex mechanical). I love the design, clean, modern, tasteful, modern, certainly one to keep well away from me!!! 😅😅💸💸💸 More importantly, what do you think? Best regards, TGV

[@TheSpiderpig976]

While on the high end for Timex, I cannot help myself from admiring a tasteful design and simplicity. Granted, the Junghans collection in the video is fair competition featuring a lower price and that continuation of design. Thanks and look forward to the next one!

The Bulova Lunar pilot you showed is high on my list to get. I saw one on a nice blue leather strap and it looked amazing. The new 262kHz movement is an amazing bit of engineering and given how much you need to spend to get the same sort of quality in quartz from other brands like Grand Seiko it a true bargain. It's odd and a real shame its not in more watches including citizen given they own Bulova. Seems like a massive waste to not use it more. Also looking forward to seeing reviews on the new JetStar watches.

[@mattys1467]

All on point as ever. I would also recommend going for something left field, that is beyond the knowledge of the watch snobs, because for so many of them its Rolex and nothing else. Something vintage but new, old stock. So, it looks fabulous but has history beyond the understanding of the snob. Something like your Ricoh. I've just got a Revue (Vulcain) Kilimanjaro from the 1970s, new, old stock that looks amazing.

Wonderful topic , TGV! Citizen divers! Nearly any of them are excellent. Well. That goes for nearly any Citizen. I am a Citizen > Seiko guy though. Also the Steinhart Triton has the 1000m spec and helium scape valve. All original design and below a grand. The Lunar Pilot is excellent; hands down inarguably a snob repulser. I know it is having a hey day but the CasiOak has become my favorite G-shock. It just works! The buttons are easy to manipulate, it is incredibly rugged. It is analog/digital. It is truly fantastic. Best Gshock to me at the moment. Certina DS chronograph and divers are simply wonderful. Some may not be fans of the Powermatic, but I love mine. I really like the idea of Laco. Need to add one of those to the collection! Excellent job, TGV. Thank you, as always! Also, might wanna include Orient. They are becoming forgotten again. Keep doing what you do.

Great video TGV. I can't fault you any of the picks you made. For me, my picks for snob proof watches begin and end with my favorite micro brand.....and the king of the segment as far as I am concerned: Zelos. I own way too many of them, most of them well under $1000 (and yes there are a few over $1000). They are stylish, great performers, great designs, and backed by the best customer service you'll ever encounter.

I absolutely agree on the Bulova. That is, as you said, a serious piece of kit. It's very high on my list actually. So is a SARB03x, I can't decide on a -33 or a -35, or even a -37 if possible to curate. Another "snob-proof" watch, in my opinion, is Certina DS Action Diver. The stats are close to a Tudor BB, but of course it's an ETA movement, and the two tone "bluesy" is super gorgeous, but that PVD gold doesn't look quite enough right for me to buy one. 😢

[@VintageVantage79]

Fantastic video. Regarding Bulova, I’ve been amazed at how much credit Omega has had over the years simply for being on the wrist… Bulova was on the wrist (in terms of the original Astronaut, as well as the so-dubbed Lunar Pilot) but, much more importantly, a key part of instrumentation in space and on the ground (the Accutron movement). So it truly does show the elitism and ignorance (snobbery) of an individual wearing a Speedy if they go on and on about the space provenance of their timepiece, yet have no idea about Bulova and their sophistication of the time. And… Bulovas are fun, a great value, and the vintage pieces are very reliable vintage watches & still relatively affordable.

[@knz1950]

After watching I purchased a "Snoopy" Bulova Lunar pilot... Thanks... It gets lots of wrist time.

[@Kittyland123]

Thank you so much TGV for providing such great insights on watch brands that have no snobbery! Another brand that I love that is so understated and in my mind could be snob proof is Timex. I personally own a manual wind Timex in 38mm beat blasted case (Hamilton Khaki Field inspired) with sapphire crystal. It is a great quality watch that is very affordable! Thank you so much TGV for such a wonderful and educational video! Stay healthy and well as always! (Nick L) ❤❤❤🦖🦖🦖🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧⏱️⏱️⏱️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🥂🥂🥂
