Wonderful curation. Reminding us that we can salivate not only over watches we can’t afford, but also watches that we can afford.

[@gregstrachan5043]

The Christopher Ward you chose is a great choice, but I would also argue that damn near everything in their current collection falls into this category. Ridiculously good finishing at their price points.

[@LimitedWard]

Almost all of CW's sports watches use the same case design and handset, so I'd expect nothing less.

[@Honraxxx]

Nice findings indeed! Just recently saw the Longines in person and it really is a beautiful thing and a joy for thos who lean towards vintage inspired designs

[@wakizashiyoshikawa6926]

Got Sharp Edged on my vacation in Japan for 110,000 yen, around 680 euro. Couldn't be more happier as commemorating the trip to Japan, which I have dreamed of for about 35 years

great video content and execution.Probably my favorite on this type of videos.Thank you for putting it together.😊

Fine vid Boys! Andrew…you are wonderful in your back & forth with Tom. And Tom, you are as real as real gets :-)! So count me in on daily eyeballs on screen when Watchfinder pops up in my feed. Y’all are a superb team and this was a superb vid! I thank you both from Houston!

[@matthewip7]

I love Nomos at the price point ! Sold the club campus but sometimes I still remember of it

[@ozmondos]

I heard that they get magnetised easily, did it happen to you?

[@thenotanclan]

Frederique Constant truly do offer fantastic quality and finishing at every price point - my dad has an entry level FC dress watch that easily matches my Tudor for finish

[@avarmauk]

The FC World Timer is one of the best looking watches I’ve seen at that price point. They pack in a lot of value into each watch. I think they deserve more recognition.

[@BCERTA]

FC is most underrated watch ever... They make some realy nice gems

[@Andy5kp]

Thanks to you guys I just ordered the CW C63 in Hunter Green! Looks amazing! Maybe add the Farer and Nomus to the collection later?!

[@johnmexico61]

Wow. Lots of great picks! I was shocked to see the Spinnaker to start it off. It’s a watch I’ve had for a few years and never, ever wear. It’s just a little too big for my wrist, but it is a nice looking watch. I have 5 Grand Seiko’s and that Seiko Sharp Edge looks as good or better and keeps drawing my attention, but I can’t decide which color I like best. As a result, I still haven’t got one. Great video.

[@garythomas3150]

Awesome video. My favorites are the Christopher Ward, the Seiko, and the Frédérique Constant.

[@hslev]

I love my Nomos Club. I got the sapphire back, so I can fully appreciate the gorgeous finishing on the movement.

[@Webb_Master]

That Longines is absolutely beautiful, also the spinnaker, CW and Nomos.

[@jeffsmith1661]

The only brand you covered that I own is Christopher Ward. What a great bargain. Just ordered the Luna model today!

[@OctavianDunare]

I have been waiting for this particular video for a long time. I love unique dial watches but they are hard to identify by just browsing online.

[@popomomo12]

You guys did an awesome job with this one. There has now been another hard decision in my life, and its what one of these to pick

[@meanmistermustard2485]

I love that Brew watch design. Depending on the color, it can be sophisticated and fun at the same time.

[@kvom01]

I just purchased a Christopher Ward "12" with an integrated bracelet. $1200+tax. As with the watch in this video, the finishing is excellent, and the bracelet is one of the best in my collection. Very comfortable.

Fantastic list, boys!

[@ozmondos]

Citizen NB1060 series has great finishing, I don't have any watches from the NB1050 but it looks to be of similar level. Casio Oceanus and Japanese microbrand called Knot has sallaz finishing. They are finished apparently at the same factory where GS are assembled.

[@boredonatuesday8793]

For fun just picked up the spinnaker, based on your review. Appreciate the reccomendation!

[@Mr_Memer.876]

Back to just watches... Like it 👍🏼

[@Vernomeno]

Watchfinder, still featuring the same Microbrands as 3 years ago. :D What about Helm, Zelos, Traska, Circula, Heinrich, Borealis, Helson, Aquatico, Phoibos etc.?

[@sinesaii]

I own three of these. I would say Farer is quite unknown here in the states, but their watches are great.

[@markhondaturbo]

I LOVE the Longines, that dial is stunning

[@sandordelgado9812]

@@bradleyburton4762 I’ve decided to save up for a Grand Seiko. But the Nomos was really my favorite here

The Brew is a very interesting design. I can imagine it being a Genta AP effort and it would be a hot hot thing in the market

[@TipoF129B]

I have a Frédérique constant Art of Porcelain in stainless, 1 of 181 made. Hand made porcelain dial, classic Roman numeral dial, coin edge. Really nice and rare for what I paid for it…

[@solsinclair1909]

Great video. The Orient Star RE-AU0006 is sorely missing from this list. For a £600 watch i dont think ive seen a finish more reminiscient of Grand Seiko, complete with zaratsu polishing.

[@MichaelInnocenzi]

would love to see you review a watch from Stowa

Nice! Thanks!

[@Johnny3514]

Any comments on the other two colours of the Longines? I find the silver/blue one magnificent…!

[@ogramail]

Love also my Longines Spirit Heritage: fantastic quality for the price! However, I think that it is onlyvthe steel version of the Longines 190th anniversary that is sold at 2250 euros. The rose gold limited edition has à price tag exceeding 11000 euros

[@user-tm3xp9ph2v]

The Longines is a stunner.

[@Newerasamearea]

Not cheap but thoughts on seiko SARR range enamel dial spring drive range? I feel it will become a 2nd hand bargain.

[@carlmullender2941]

my Nomos and Chr Wards are just brilliant

[@jeanlefranc3817]

Congrats to Furlan Marri for now being a credible brand in the watch crowd. But I find it hilarious that Furlan is now caught at its own game with the sub €100 Pagani Design , Mecaquartz fitted Tasti Tondi homages. I bought one, the finishing is acceptable and it looks a million dollars.

[@morgan97475]

Any of these would be a great addition to a collection.

[@Bloodcrave87]

You can easily find Seiko sharp edgeds at discount, hell I managed to grab the 2023 limited purple dial sharp edged akebono new for about 650 usd (non GMT version)

Love that spinnaker bracelet

[@crossbones8956]

I love the Club. I had the original, but the dial color didn’t click with me. Picked up the Absolute Grey and it’s now one of my most worn watches. I’ll probably get another. It’s the only watch I have where I would get another just because of the dial. It’s just the perfect watch for me.

[@hslev]

I am tempted to get a second Club in a different color too!

[@willelliott5052]

I watched this video last night, and as a result, I ordered the Spinnaker at the discount price. Now I am not so sure about the 15mm thickness that was not mentioned in this video.

[@derektaylor7613]

15mm is a ridiculous size

[@shahriarbakrani3244]

Well I ordered Spinnaker now after watching this video... let's see if it is amazing when in close look..

[@brijeshmandanna147]

The Christopher Ward was damn amazing..so desirable .. every timepiece described nicely here..

[@Mans1810]

Nomos really need to redesign these lugs tho. Their movement finishing is crazy for this price point 🤯

[@tongotongo3143]

Those are the most comfortable and elegant lugs, long lugs ensures the watch stays centred on the wrist without sliding to the sides too much.

[@daveg7878]

Wonder how a Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic would hold up against these. I suspect it would be similar.

[@bullnose01]

Farer punches well above its weight class. I think that their Moonphase line is superb.

[@timbaker4879]

Everyone loves a good finish, (or a happy ending for that matter). Please take a look at the Smiths Everest, its a belter for £345. I know its a bit of a homage but I love it. Happy to send mine in for a butchers if you cant get hold of one. 🎃

[@richiesorge5099]

Nomos is pure understatement.

If by “understatement” you mean crap, then yes…Nomos is pure understatement. Imho😊

[@avarmauk]

I like Nomos, but their lugs are way too long. Always puts me off their offerings.

[@brittwebb5602]

Nomos watches look for the world like $20 discount bin offerings. Yes, yes, I understand the Bauhaus design influences, but I’m not wrong.

[@johnward9486]

Christopher Ward is nicest watch plus it has a 28800 movement 👌

[@adamk8451]

“Concentric Knurling” is the name of my new album.

[@BM-si2ei]

Colin Chapman famously said "simplify and add lightness" when desribing the design ethos of his Lotus cars. NOMOS is "simplify, and add execution". Just something about their design and finishing that punches two to three levels about their price range.

[@user-sy4el9me1z]

Budget alternative to the Frederique Constant is the Tissot Le Locle

[@bignishspcinsights1762]

Love the NOMOS....but! The combo of Arabic and Roman numerals on the dial drive me bonkers. Sigh. Gentlemen - what are your thoughts about the low cost of entry vs the maintenance costs for these and other less expensive mechanical watches?

[@daintiestquarters3411]

[@daintiestquarters3411]

Nomos is the typical anti Trump watch: it is usually genderless, simple, unassuming, and made for people with some degree of education. No person who likes tanks in his wrist and looks for a membership in the Proud Boys club is going to like Nomos. The market is full of arrogant, gigantic, violent, and facists watches, and influencers who love hate and ranting. I am glad Nomos exists for those of us who like things that are subtle.

[@Peskarik]

The Citizen, say, AQ4091-56M, does not qualify?
