Rolex's Next BIG Complication Revealed! + NEW Tudor, Seiko & Casio Watches We Wish Would Be Released
Today I'm joined by engineer turned watch entrepreneur Marc Frankel of Long Island Watch for a brand new #WatchTalk episode where we discuss watches we wish would be rereleased. In this video we select a variety of watches from Tudor, Seiko, Casio, and Rolex that we'd like to see brought back from the brands' archives for a modern update, or succeeded with newer versions. In discussing our favorite picks, we unwittingly discover a little known patent pending for a perpetual calendar complication that reveals Rolex's next big move, further indicating the brand's future and higher end ambitions. We also delve into an underrated, rich legacy of aviation watches that is often overshadowed by Seiko's focus on Olympic timing, as well as a new direction for Tudor that could be the antidote to the oversaturation of the watch world with their Black Bay variations that have been released ad nauseum. In this video we also discuss a Casio diver that would completely change the entire watch industry, and could certainly be described as a license to print money. What do you think of the watches in this video? And what are your picks for watches you'd like to see rereleased in the near future? Please share in the comments.

I think we heard this a few years back
the 2023-24 model SD did a nicer design with slimmer & sporty look ,allowing smaller hand to wear with their oysterflex which wear so comfortable by far .
Loving your work. Thanks so much. Hugo for President!
It's 2024, and I am planning to buy a BB58. I can't find a single fault in that watch. It has become its own unique style despite its past association with Rolex. Anything rolex is overhyped, in my opinion.
Excellent video; my favourite Seikos: 1)GS Godzilla;2) GS Heritage Quartz SBGX263; 3) GS Shizukuishu SBGH339; 4) GS Tentagraph SLGC001; 5) GS Cookie SBGR331; 6) Seiko Presage white enamel SARX065; 7) Seiko Tidemaster Moon Phase 8) Seiko Astron SSH139J; and many others!!!! 🎉❤😂
Hi TGV Great video and great content in general! I just pulled the trigger on a 76213 myself and this video is a big reason why. Can you perhaps tell me where you bought your aftermarket jubilee bracelet and do you have any recommendations for a great aftermarket jubilee bracelet from a European country? Love from Denmark /Alexander
Apples to bowling balls in my opinion. We're comparing the PRX to a watch that is literally twice, or more, the cost depending on what iteration you go with, and to a watch that does not have larger case size offering. I shutter to think what Tissot could do with a $1500 price range.
C'mon Marc. Tudor is great. It is what Rolex was before turned into bling-bling posh jewellery. Tudor doing some good things lately. They are slowly listening to the customers and improving their designs (metas certification on the way). Future looks good for them. I'd love to have a Pelagos but I'm currently broken :D
i know this is late-but just found this channel and convinced me to buy this watch as a graduation gift to myself! looking forward to watching more videos soon
I also agree with Marc's point around consistent QA, following Agile methodologies is so much important whilst developing a product for optimal output
Great perspective on different brands
I don’t think the prx is so bad. It’s a lot of people’s skx, their gateway drug to the hobby. And I’m glad it’s getting more people to wear and talk about watches. Sure the tissot may just be a better packaged system51 but it’s a watch that people enjoy and I’m always believed in wearing what makes you happy.
This guy even pronounces Japanese names in an Italian way.
Great video. Great pairings. The Timex with the perlon is genius! Just wish my Shunbun was 20mm instead of 21mm. So many of these that I love aren’t my lug size.
Not impressed by the Nivada design. Looks generic and unrefined. The finishing is good but that's not enough.
Sorry but the Seiko flightmaster looks toooo busy.
It’s very well made it’s beautiful
Like to get Jet Star someday. Thanks for the feedback.
Would like a link to the box
I wish it had 80m or 100m WR, but I will have this watch on my wrist in the next month.
Do you think it is too big for 6,5” wrist?
Good video as always; I also love my chunky King Turtle 🐢!!
Wow I’m eyeing the blue quartz 516 chronograph
6 hours would be fine....keep it up!
Love the NG Antartic! I've got to have one in this colour and spec, will make a great daily for me! Guess what though, they are sold out everywhere in the UK! TGV the people must be taking your advice! Really enjoyable video very chilled out watching it!
These guys seem like an odd pairing. Divergent style taste with respect to everything… except watches. I don’t get the Long Island watch guy. His videos are interesting but his wardrobe seems limited to jeans and hoodies bought at Target. When I got into watches it prompted me to improve my overall look. I started wearing more collared shirts, long sleeves and jackets more often, and by now that is simply how I dress. He is never shown below the waist but my guess is that in addition to his hoodie and jeans his ensemble includes a chunky pair of New Balance sneakers.
"My watch needs to be tough enough to survive any artillery shell, because I am a survivor!" ..... eeehhh ... yeah ... riiiight ...
Brilliant essay
100% what dudes in the wild episode.
The height looks massive on this watch, maybe its the camera
I bought it! Bucherer in Manhattan. Love it. So soft appearing and comforting
Still missing the video on phallic symbolism in watches...
Very happy with my G shock 5610 🙂
However your content is delivered, you are eternally a total legend. So many people (including myself) wear and enjoy watches entirely because of your channel. As always, thank you, TGV!
Hacking, damn right!
@11:30 what about Islander watches,Skx et al.?
cool style fabulous humour. greats from humorless Germany 🎉
Very nice watch - but why the big gun?
I got a question what does TGV standfor?
Nothing beats the sub for me. Yet I rather like the moonwatch. Gladly I possess both.
Thank you for taking us to the Bulova Museum. What a treat! ❤
Best ⌚ content on CZcams ❤
Pls never stop ❤🎉
The link watches have the nicest band and the coin case on the older link watches are my favorite .
I got a free damaged DW watch, try to fix it
Is it still in the 65$ price range 5 years later ?
🎉I purchased one from eBay yesterday, finally! Thanks so much for your collab with Marc. 😊The collecting continues! Truly will appreciate this piece for years to come. Thank you for all you do for us watch enthusiasts!
I think this is my favorite CZcams channel. You’re both hilarious, interesting and obviously absolutely love watches. KBO!
The armitron rubik beats all these classics casios hands down with its full stainless steel case 👌
I have only really had RayBans over the years and have Aviators and a couple of wayfarers. Even glasses frames are RayBans. I have just received my Persol 2803s in Havana and DarkBrown polarised lenses. Taking them out of the box, the quality was immediately obvious. They do feel like they could last a lifetime. Now I understand.
