10 High End Watches That Are Cheaper Than You Think

[@iiTyrull]

Lmao Tom just gave Straum their motto, "Grand Seiko, but evil".

[@OriginalNameHere]

You two are so fun to listen to, I like watches but this is the only watch channel I actually enjoy watching. I hope you're never asked to tone it down or be more "professional". Perfect balance of interesting and funny.

[@gerrytemple5044]

You certainly know 'The Urban Gentry'? I'd say it's the one 'other' channel that's always a pleasure to watch. Cheers!

[@cfk8593]

So glad Straum is getting more recognition. I impulse bought the Blue Opphav Damascus. Which was way more than I had ever spent on a watch. Absolutely in love with it.

[@effese]

Straum is amazing!

[@kiljaeden7663]

I got that one as well. I was so impressed with it I looked into investing in Straum. However, they weren't interested in investors at the time.

[@GrapedCrusader]

I bought the green Damascus. So amazing! If I’d had the $$ I’d have bought every color. All of the colors are gorgeous!

[@mihajloprodanovic5512]

@@GrapedCrusader I got the newest model Glacial Rift, but my favourit is white

[@docfluty]

Value for dollar hands down goes to Farer and Habring2. Bump it up a bit from Farer and I go for a Longines, then Grands Seiko, then Omega... after Omega you get into some nice independents such as Kudoke, Arnold & Son, Habring2, and Sartory.

[@RaphaelSafr]

Thanks for presenting to us such exceptional watches!!

[@BendyChoy]

Wrist watch enthusiast would be happy coming across such video.

[@BendyChoy]

As a wrist watch collector, I'm currently seeking to have a larger share of my investment in luxury watches. Any suggestions?

​Managing Money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times, while orders tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too.

[@LSBContractingLLC]

​I agree with you.A finance advisor can also provide you with objective and unbiased advice, especially when you are facing emotional or stressful situations.They can help you stay on track and avoid making an impulsive decisions that can harm your financial future.

[@BendyChoy]

​How did you find a good finance advisor? How do you know if they are trustworthy and competent.

[@Flying_Gyoza]

I'm a big fan of Anordain, but at the recent Wind Up Fair they mentioned their waitlist is now 3 years long

[@juniorjohnson5961]

They need to expand.

[@IVAtheLT]

They weren't lying. I grabbed a piece during their last fcfs internet drop and there was so much backlash they went to waitlist. I currently have reserved a July 2027 build slot for a second watch with a $400 deposit 🥴

[@joshuablumenthal4432]

It's longer than that. I jumped in the wait list a year ago, and am not due for a watch until mid 2027

[@chia-mingyang5804]

Time is money. For me that means they are way more than expensive than the price they ask for

[@birdytiger]

I got a spot on the last run but didn't have the down payment to secure the spot- not because the watches cost but the damned tax on it

I'm the other person who loved the RATM reference. Brilliant job weaving in lyrics, too!

[@thomashenryirvin]

Andrew, please could you review some of these 'high end' Citizen watches with the paper dials I have seen recently. Surely if Citizen feel they can charge £3000 for a watch it must be very special?

[@kiljaeden7663]

are they available in the UK?

[@thomashenryirvin]

I don't think you can buy them in the UK but it's a global market so if you want one it's possible. Looks like the Japanese keep all the best stuff for themselves.

[@henrysiegertsz8204]

I love my EPOS with VJ 7751, black dial, Onion Crown, Coin Bezel with Teardrop pushers, exhibition back, Triple Date, 24hour, Moon Phase with Flyback Chronograph. It runs about -10 seconds a month and I wear it daily.

[@Vess_Iossifov]

Cool, thanks. I might as well put on the list the Raymond Weil open heart watches which resemble Tourbillons and are very nice in their own right 🙂

[@Newerasamearea]

The grand seiko waves dial seemed like a thing until islander watch came out with it (possibly before hand?) on their northport diver.

[@michaelmccormick9469]

wow….. there are some absolutely belting watches in the episode. Great job lads….. Keep up the sarcasm as it’s hilarious 🤣

[@turbyoulance]

Sorry Grandkids are playing up, Kettle is making too much noise, any chance of you putting up the price of these in your U tubes .?

[@ofb7212]

You need to look at the Knot Urushi. Grand Seiko level case finish(close anyway) Urushi hand laquare dial for under $700. US. It is a steal.

[@luismasanchez9367]

Yeah, the Knot raden is from another world...

[@UzairW]

Just started watching and wondering if Frederique Constant will be in this list. I bet there will be at least one Seiko!

[@nomansland120]

High end and frederique constant doesn't correlate

[@ph8077]

[@guydastous6583]

Thank you very much for this well thought of video. Made me discover new brands with spectacular visuals. I already own two of them, a Straum damascus blue dial and a Fears, Alliance 01. Because of you I will now have to spend hours on the internet to get acquainted with some of the watches you reviewed in this video. Keep on your excellent work.

[@hitchhicker92]

I genuinely did want to go for the lava Straum, but it is sold out, shame it looks MaD...

[@Kenji-Tsuyoi]

Like the looks of some of the farer watches but the reviews or social media of there customers service is appalling which has put me off if purchasing one

[@turbyoulance]

Aeowuk is bizzare to say the least

[@wildernessofzinn17]

What do you guys think of Alexander Shorokoff?. I like the looks of their "Peter Tchaikovsky" model. It has some really cool engraving, guilloche, and is also an alarm watch. Check it out if you are so minded. I've not heard you mention this brand before, but maybe I missed it. Despite the Russian name, they appear to be made in Germany.

[@smolkomartin]

I think an interesting topic for a video would be which watch brands should make a watch type they haven't yet done. For me it would be Nomos making a dive watch. I think their minimalistic approach would make a perfect daily wear diver.

[@dblh84]

Agreed, however, as far as they're concerned, they've already done that with the 300m Neomatik. It would be very cool if NOMOS made a diver, specifically.

[@smolkomartin]

@@dblh84 You are unfortunately right. I think if they even decided to do a separate watch line, it would have an inner rotating bezel like the JLC Polaris. But I still think a thin outside rotating bezel with a minimalist dial would be a match made in heaven.

[@AtheistOrphan]

Xeric do an very similar automatic wandering hours watch for a third of the price of the one featured here.

[@TeddyBoy7796]

Ha ha ha I love these videos, the little joke bits they put in do make me laugh out loud 😂

[@gerrytemple5044]

Well, quite a lot rather unknown brands trying to get some profile by choosing fashion over elegance. And we know the long term effect when you buy your clothes that way, don't we? I'll stick with Tom waiting for a bio-ceramic Breguet maybe. Maybe not. 😉

[@trilobiteterror8015]

13:03 They use Pinctada Maxima (which is a species of pearl oyster) for the mother of peael dial but those are abalone shells in the photo, which are gastropods (like snails), not a bivalves like (oysters).

[@atowakwatches]

Thank you for your continuous attention to ATOWAK. In 2024, we will bring more original and interesting watches. Stay tuned! 🔥

[@kaisersozay99]

Nice

[@24934637]

Love that AnOrdain but personally I'd say that at £3.5K it's overpriced.

[@sea-watches]

good

[@KeithApp]

What are your thoughts on CCCP watches? Are they a good purchase?

[@kiljaeden7663]

The Fears is pretty and all but at nearly £4000 with an ETA movement it's just a bit much.

[@roaminggene2619]

That Farer's Worldtimer design is very poor, as the 24-hr numerals are too far from the city rim. And it's nowhere near PP even in the looks.

[@luismasanchez9367]

I should say IS a carbón copy of a 250$ Timex Marlin...

[@zwerko]

@@luismasanchez9367 Not really, the colors might be similar but it's much different execution, plus I personally very much dislike the applied retro numbers on the Marlin. That being said, I've seen both in person and neither left an impression on me. The Oris version is definitely overpriced for what it offers, if nobody told you the price you wouldn't feel as if you're wearing an expensive-ish watch.

[@remmont3984]

The finish on the Farer is terrible, you can literally see where the laser hit hardest on the letters on the outer dial.

could be intentional, bit retro
