Nico should rate all Hublot models right now

Is there a video where he states why he hates hublot so much? Im new to this channel

[@reecelieber5709]

Great list, personally I’m going with 1. Tudor Pepsi gmt on nato strap (gmt, $3675) 2. Hamilton khaki field (beater/everyday, $575) 3. Longines heritage classic with a silver dial (dress, $2425) 4. Oris aquis New York harbor green (diver, $1850) 5. Junghans max bill chronoscope with blue dial (chronograph, $1413) And with my $152 remaining I will be purchasing seven Casio databank calculator watches.

[@Eikenhorst]

I do love this list. You can get a G shock for 150 if that is your thing. With the Tudor I just feel that every watchmaker that has produced a dive watch has released that something that looks exactly like that (no GMT though), so it is not for me. The Junghans is a great dress watch as well. For a real unique chrono I would go for the 1972 Competition, and save 1000 on the Tudor and take the Sinn 857 UTC for the GMT watch.

[@arshadtejani]

This is the best collection posted here.

[@harshsheth5545]

I would have a more mainstream approach: 1) Tudor BB58- $3400 2) Omega Speedmaster Professional Used- $3700 3) Casio Oak- $99 4) Seiko Alpinist- $750 5) Cartier Tank Quartz Used- $2000 That’s 2 automatics, 2 quartz and 1 mechanical Also that’s: 1 dress watch, 1 chrono, 1 diver, 1 god tier and 1 everyday watch….

[@ishaanmukherjee8220]

Think this is better I was expecting an omega or a Tudor

[@yinzerfpv5764]

I like yours better. Surprised he didn’t have Tudor or Seiko for any choices.

[@dennisvanhoesel4329]

I would have gone with the tank over the world timer for sure

[@Viralfanatics]

This is one hell of a collection

[@diegoleiva7242]

Your list is great, but I'd say Nico's is a bit more eclectic and odd and I kind of prefer it.

[@J.N88]

Scrolling the comments and no one defending Grand Seiko?? calling them soulless is crazy, very few brands put as much care into building watches as they do, maybe directionless is fair but soulless is a horrendous take. (IMO, and I know this is yours)

[@fiend7777]

After everyone saw that Nico owns a GS they realized that he respects the craftsmanship but hates the GS keyboard warriors and the way the company manages their product, which is fair. So he has to go back to trolling Grand Seiko.

[@RhetoricWolf]

Yeah, calling it soulless was just a terribly unsubstantiated claim. In fact, they have an identity and soul. I think they put that into each product they develop.

[@hiteshgujarathi4636]

​@@fiend7777 But fans doesn't take anything away from GS. The fact that they are doing really great stuff with in house movment is must be appreciated regardless of fan base.

[@garethboyd8580]

It’s hard to defend. Well engineered? - check! Well priced? - check! Aesthetically current? - check! Soulful? Hmmmmmm… Hard for them to ever shake off the Lexus approximation. At least Toyota weren’t ridiculous enough to call Lexus “Grand Toyota”.

[@LegatoStudios]

This is a really nice collection. I personally would have swapped out the Tag for a micro-brand piece like a Formex or a Christopher Ward to add some extra flavor to the collection. Still a good pick though! Well done Nico.

[@creynolds1031]

I agree with both your suggestions, but would also get rid of Nicos last pick. Even if I could only have the other four 🤔😋🤭

[@nkonig1]

The Big Eye is the only one of these I’d choose. It’s on my wish list. I’d have gone with the following: Cartier Santos Galbee XL - 4k Omega Speedmaster 3861 - 4.5k Seiko Willard - 900 G Shock 5610 - 150 And under budget

My first watch was a TH Carerra 5; I bought it against all reviews as I loved the look of it .... Bracelet is first class 👌. I have a few more in the collection, though this one is worn often and has a sentimental place in my heart. Slated by watch snobs but will be adored by my kids 👊👊👌
