What’s the Best Watch Under £5k?! Subscribers Picks

[@IMMERSIVEVOICE]

I used to absolutely hate the Omega SMP 300 a decade ago. These days I absolutely love it and I love everything about Omega.

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

I'm the opposite modern Omega doesn't do anything for me. Pre Swatch group Omega will always be king. I don't even recognize the brand anymore

[@mema4922]

[@mema4922]

@@SIZZO76 you know it's true deep down, omega will never be the same again, forever tainted by the swatch groups actions. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Omega wish they were Rolex. Even Cartier are ahead of omega now 😂😂😂

[@AZadeh-nd8vx]

That's funny, I'm the opposite. I used to love the SMP300 and thought it was the best watch ever made. Now after owning 3, I've gone off the newer versions - they're too chunky, the Helium escape valve is too big and annoying and the bracelets are like hand cuffs - so sharp and uncomfortable. Such a shame as the older "Bond" SMP's were perfectly proportioned and the bracelet so comfortable. I've gone off Omega as they seem to have lost their way and don't listen to what their customers want and keep makimg poor releases. They need to take a leaf out of Tudor and Longines book who have reacted to what their customers want. And no, I'm not a "fanboy" of any watch brand, I still own a Bond Seamaster 300m which i love, it's just they have fallen a bit hopefully they will change.

[@dparad22]

SBGM221 is my daily office watch that's not too flashy and great when tracking more than one time zone. The dial is like buttercream. And the light reflects beautifully across the zaratsu polished case, sword-like hands, and three-dimensional indices. It's a subtle stunner. The only downside is no loom, which is pretty much every GS.

[@Frreddies]

That cream dial on the GS is stunning

[@brittwebb5602]

Totally agree

[@alocascio5825]

The GS GMT is pure class.

[@albertoponce8796]

[@joshuakaplan5726]

Glad to get the mention and full concurrence on my vote for the Pelagos FXD GMT! Loved the coverage on it (and all the other watches too)! Keep up the great work man!

[@patrickk611]

My first pick is Omega and next is Tudor

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

The NOMOS Orion is such a classy look by far my favourite with its vintage classic vibe

[@maxinahunt8652]

Disagree on the GS GMT. That’s one of my favourite GS’s. The cream dial is luscious, the finish is beautiful and the blue hand is BLUE not green/blue…..maybe, no insult intended but maybe that’s why it doesn’t work for you?

[@WaterJake]

Missed my chance, but I would have suggested the Frederique Constant Highlife Worldtimer. I feel like they get overlooked a lot, but offer so much in a very stylish package!

[@123frostyice]

I just got mine in the chocolate dial and 110% can recommend !

[@NiKoJlaY]

Breitling Chronomat Automatic GMT40mm is also a great choice under 5k£ , also Christopher Ward C1 Bel Canto Classic, Omega Seamaster Railmaster, Tudor Black Bay Chrono Limited Edition Pink Dial 41mm

[@NGMonocrom]

Anyone paying $4,000 for a *quartz* movement in a watch in this Day and Age, deserves to get cheated out of thousands of dollars of their money. No, the word "Cartier" on the dial doesn't magically offset the cost. I own a Cartier pen. Love it! Didn't cost me thousands upon thousands of dollars. And no, it doesn't look like at cheap plastic Bic pen with the Cartier name in place of Bic on the pen barrel. Cartier wants how much for a regular quartz movement? Even actual Watch snobs would laugh hysterically (in private) at anyone foolish enough to spend THAT much on THAT variation of the Tank. For that much, try to get a 2nd Hand JLC Reverso (one of the more basic mechanical variations). Or, get the Baume & Mercier model that comes closest to looking like the Tank, with a mechanical movement inside, and save an impressive chunk of money.

[@jonathanmaxson3619]

I'm finding my Tudor Monochrome just about perfect. Quality without the flash.

[@diemes5463]

Not a single German watch, sinn, damasko and hanhart offer so much value at this price point. Love the great white

[@markbowman7240]

hanhart have had a great year for releases my favorite brand

[@johntucker9782]

Nomos was on here.

[@uncles2000]

Sinn, Hanhart, Stowa, Tutima, and LACO, refuse to ‘pay to play’ the watch influencer game. They don’t have the Rolex, Swatch Group or Richmond marketing budgets or brand recognition. The larger ADs that loan watches, loan the brands they sell in volume. The German brands simply get lost in the shuffle. They only get coverage by lesser influencers or brand fans. Take the Hanhart Preventor HD12. It is far and away a better watch than the Murph, yet all of KZbin reviews the Murph, like it’s the second coming of time traveling, watch Jesus.

[@BassStevie]

Yes! Goldilocks size. :-) Love what you do.

[@lamadoo]

You forgot the new mm300. I think that watch sweeps it all

[@amishderodra]

The new king is the Tudor BB58 GMT Coke!! I own two SMP300 divers...the two-tone on bracelet, black dial/yellow gold & the full Sedna gold on an OEM blue gator strap with matching gold deployable clasp (which cost over £3k) So I'm a SMP fanboy ....but the king is dead, long live the king.

[@CraigLondon]

[@magi5587]

The Seamaster 300 was my dream watch. Stopped by the new Omega store yesterday in Austin...it's not great. Too big, uncomfortable, heavy, too long, clunky. It's beautiful in pictures but in real life, it's a bummer. I tried on the NTTD which helps a bit being in titanium, but even still, it's a no go.

You really shouldn't say the goldilocks size for everyone. 39 isn't that for all.

Yes it is. Everyone knows size medium is the perfect shirt size. Larger sizes shouldn't even be made. Should also all be long sleeve, short sleeves are so tacky.

[@ryangallagher7439]

I don't see the issue with a mass produced ETA/Sellita movement if it's top spec it's usually much better than most in house movements and a lot cheaper to service. Please stop apologising for being dyslexic I suffer from dyslexia and if people have an issue with it then it's their problem.

[@davidf3974]

Nice book

[@giorgiogivone2006]

In my opinion, Omega Seamaster isn't the best for everyday use. I like Longines Zulu Time; but, if you don't like vintage watches and you're sick and tired of divers like Tudor Black Bay, you might prefer Longines Conquest Chronograph

[@goranmesin1934]

As an alternative to all Tudor watches (which are great), how about Baume & Mercier Riviera - cosc movement, 120h of power reserve, comes in 39 and 42mm. My pick would be 10702🫡

[@emiyanada4252]

Ita amazing how much influence social media have on marketing. The popularity of Tudor online is largely driven by the demographic of social media users. In the real world, Tudor is really just a stepping stone to Rolex and other luxury brands. Most of Tudor customers are in their 20s or 30s who just started this hobby, with reasonable disposable income and often is their first luxury purchase.

[@TheBrah808]

Tudor sucks. Longines needs to pay youtubers and Instagram influences to get to the youth.

[@VapeandJuiceTV]

I own more premium watches and have to say I think the BB monochrome looks stunning. I'd buy it, and while it would probably not shift my IWC 2000 titanium as my everyday wear, it would still be a nice one to own. But maybe I'd not love it so much if it wasn't raved about all the time. Who knows 😂 love the Longines 38 also and the old Aqua Terra from Omega. So many bloody watches to buy!

[@misho_dev]

I don't really understand why people are so fixated on "all rounders", especially at a price point many would consider high. Once you collect in those prices you likely have 5 other watches to choose from lol

The Tudor which is a Chronometer - that will be COSC certified. It isn’t Metas certified.

I'm still hoping for a 39mm Spirit Titanium. And if possible not black and gilt like the others in the Spirit titanium line. But I imagine they would first release a 37mm one to mirror the steel line, and it would probably be in black and gilt again.

[@gavinwhite9743]

Am I the only one thinking COS and METAS certified…so what? Tudor didn’t change the movement in the black bay monochrome from last years movement, other than adding a letter to signify it’s now Metas too. It’s literally paying more for external testing on same movement? For a level of accuracy blown out if the water by a £20 Casio? Nothing against Tudor BTW, I love mechanical watches, but this obsession with COS and METAS feels more of a talking point for KZbinrs, a rational reason to choose in a completely emotional category.

Sorry, I took a shot every time you said "unbelievable." Now I can't see. Note: nothing is unbelievable.

They invest money stupidly on new 50k cars and 5k watches. My grandfather was a multimillionaire and told me never to spend money on a car or a watch. He had a Chrysler and Citizen, and his millions grew. He fed the poor. He didn't feed his fragile ego. More pathetic material propaganda. This is why America is messed up.

I cannot get my head around the hype, not when brands like Longines offer better looking watches with far greater history. And if you want to go a little off the beaten path the Oris, Sinn etc offer something more interesting for less. Whilst for jot much more you can jump up to Omega, IWC or Grand Seiko etc.
