I agree with the list, especially the Maurice LaCroix. I have the dress version of that watch (Flyback Annuaire MP6098 with the Arabic numerals & silver dial) and it's a great bang per buck. It keeps fantastic time, looks great, and the Flyback plus annual calendar are great! The finishing on it great as well.
IMO, Ball Watch Company is one of the most underrated brands. They don't garner much attention but they make some great watches and offer a tremendous value when it comes to quality for the price...I particularly enjoy my Skindiver II
Agreed. I am on my 2nd Ball. I keep buying and selling them again, I keep not choosing the right model for me. But the quality is always amazing and the tritium is just such a cool touch! Can recommend.
ML is a very nice and under appreciated brand. I have a Pontos. I have looked at this model and with a flyback and calendar it is a nice piece. I am surprised they have not been acquired
Good choice Federico on the Maurice Lacroix. Had two of those, one in steel and one in rose gold. Plenty of watch for the money. Keep up the good work.
You forgot Eterna. Their Royal Kontiki GMT and Chronograph models can be had for less than 1/3 of MSRP with a real in-house movement of at least 60 hours and more than 160 years of swiss history and experience in movements. I just had the Royal Kontiki GMT and it's by far the best value with the specs anywhere.
Got a Laureato 42mm blue dial last week for 7.5K brand new. Loving it. Thinking about getting a Zenith el primero legend of cohiba rose gold next year.
Great list I agree completely. You have a aura about you that oozes respect. I greatly appreciate all that you do for youtube and the watch industry as a entity and as a whole.
Vegan Dinner i think grand seiko is right where it belongs for asian movements and sinn is pretty god for swiss benchmark quality to pricepoint. Jmho If you want to stay above the inflation curve i think older rolex pre 80s dress and for newer watches orients are underrated. Consider whats going to happen to orient while they build brand tecognition and since both them and seiko owned by epson printer now i believe? Maybe orients may shoot up in price here in america or become the upgraded seiko brand. I just purchased the orient explorer and i was very impressed for its pricepoint. Dual time,hacking,all the upgrades including the caseback also being sapphire. Thinking about getting the mako 2. The thing was one second slow in 3 days out of the box...i would like to know more about seagull. I dont plan on selling anything,just build the collection. My pinnacle is the submariner two tone rolex just because but cant afford just yet. Im still on the steep edge of the learning curve...
Although we all appreciate the mechanical kudos of the brands you have picked, most of us mere mortal working class joes can't really step up to some of these incredible movements, but it was great listening to your review.
I like RGM watches they don't get much attention. One of the only American companies making in-house movements. I really like their caliber 20 and their pilot watch with the in-house movement
Federico, thank you so much for this interesting post. I really like A.Lange und Söhne and Piaget. The Altiplano in white gold (I would love to have the option of steel), is the most classy dress watch from my point of view. That with a black crocodile band. I consider gold in watches the most expensive in the world.
I’d take a Lange over a Patek, Vacheron, or AP any day. The only thing that gives it a run for its money in my book is Breguet. On the bright side, that decision is easy for me because I can’t afford any of them 😁
Hey federico sorry to hear about the quake in Naples I know you said you're a napoli fan I would have to say 2 underappreciated brands are Ball who make some superb daring watches although the aesthetics of there watches aren't something I love they definitely do their own thing and push boundaries love the tritium lume too and another brand I love is poljot they make superb reasonably priced chronograph movements I have a lot of love for poljot and strela which often in the watch community isn't reciprocated
Fed! Love watching your videos - keep up the great work! I've owned my Breitling Superocean Heritage 42mm for a couple years now (my first luxury watch purchase) and I'm now looking into expanding my collection. My thoughts are a JLC Ultra Thin Moon (stainless) for a dress watch followed by the Zenith EP Chronomaster for another casual sport watch (specifically the blue dial - I think it looks sick and would look amazing with a NATO). What are your thoughts? Any other recommendations?? What are your thoughts on buying these pre-owned if I can find them?
Cold Shadow I agree! I wish they added some character like Blancpain does - I actually am considering the Villeret Complete Calendar Moonphase for that reason - but tough to justify the 6K premium vs the JLC
Fed, thanks again for a Great great video and picks... the GP is great (although I will keep my AP ;-) But the ML is incredible how much it offer on that modified ETA movement. Went fast to check in Chrono, and there is one on great price, from India thou... tempeting. The Piaget is a beauty, but too high in price. And about Langhe. Do you reccomend a more "accessible" vintage A. Lange & Söhne B-Uhr Type?
Frederico- I'm laboring between the Steinhart Ocean 500 Titanium and the Tissot Seastar 1000. Could you please suggest which you would prefer? Thank you!
I've had a luck recently when I came across maurice lacroix masterpiece 7019 priced at 4600 euros but I got it for 1200 euros. Best watch thus far. Elegant, awesome leather contrasted with lovely silver.
For me the Swatch Group brand Mido is an underestimated entry level Swiss watch brand. They have got classic design icons like the Commander I models and watches with a modern design and specially tuned ETA movements like the chronometer certified caliber 80. There are still many models under the $1,000 mark. And even the models above 1K (new) offering a lot of value for the money!
I can't make my mind with the Laureato, but I really agree with the rest of the video, especially with the El Primero, amazing watch and great price, and Lange, which in my humble opinion are the best major watchmaker out there. PS: I also think Glashutte Original is highly underrated, what do you think?
Piaget: thickness is sometimes more important than size (diameter). Thinness alone can take away from a good wrist-feeling. It's the overall 'ratio', which counts, I believe.
Why does this guy sound lile Thirsten Howell off Giligans Island??! Haha i know I misspelled that name prolly. But he does sound like that to me. But great knowledge on watches and much appreciated homie👍👍
I especially like the Piaget pick, couldnt agree more wth that.... and the GP grew on me..I bashed it at first too for being another portal clone..but its grown on me..Id wear one as well
I agree with your choices.. I might add the Longines Legend Diver. This watch can be dressed up or down. I do own one and wear it all the time with my shirt cuffs up or down and with a white tee. I think it's one very simple clean watch. Very deceiving as a,dive watch. Second watch is the Oris Diver. Another real nice all around sports, which as a brand doesn't get the nods from the community it should, is Oris. And my final call is Ulysses Nardin is. Another brand I own and the general public has no idea who or what I'm wearing. Another watch brand that doesn't get the press it should. Thanks keep these vlogs going I find them entertaining as well as informative. Rocco
As far as Zenith, I think the 410 is awesome. But some people cannot afford to own multiple luxury watches so if they have one choice, it is probably another brand. Also, A. Lange is in a higher tier to where most average people would not consider them. I think watch makers need to have better understanding of the market and where they should be battling. The average working man who is into watches and willing to spend 10k will always go Rolex before anything else. The average person not huge into watches but wants something nice of the wrist will probably go with Tag or Movado. Those who are rich and know little about watches will grab a Rolex, Nautalis, Royal Oak. Then comes the small population who are rich and know about watches and they will explore A. Lange and other high end brands.
Good to see you back making quality vids with great content😊 Btw I'm hoping you don't make anymore vids with tgv........i've always enjoyed watch reviews a lot more if i actually like the person doing the review......you come across as a good bloke Fed, If Tgv was chocolate he would eat himself or at least thats the impression i get
I would say Eterna Royal KonTiki GMT. A fully in-house GMT movement, fantastic looking original design and a company with some real heritage. And no-one talks about them!
I agree with Christin about the Girard-Perregaux Laureato. The ML, at that price, cannot be beaten. I like the Zenith and agree it is getting much more publicity. Not a Piaget fan but like the PoloS. People flock to pilot or sports watches. Lange's sweetspot is the dress watch area. The Lange Grande 1 and the Zeitwerk are both amazing horological pieces but would not get enough wrist-time to prioritize over other wishlist items. Strangely, I think Vacheron is under appreciated in the US - especially for a Holy Trinity brand. I rarely if ever see anyone in the groups sporting one. Also, there are 3 variants so you can get a good price. I agree with your recent video on Breguet, it is under-valued (loved your video). Finally, preowned JLCs are low enough for more people to own them and they do not. Strange.
Hi Frederico, first of all thank you very much for a good list and you channel 👍 My list: Oris classic date Longines Conqvest automatics or vhp Sinn 556 or 103 or 104 Omega dynamic chrono Fortis official cosmonautus of course it cane be 65 and aquis too ;)
I'd put GRONEFELD on the list. Of course they are a small production brand / micro-brand and they produce very expensive watches, but I do find that they are underrated.
The Skippie I don't know what happened but things got little too hot for me especially in the ugwc group where mods were banning some people if they mentioned fed.
Lmao Fed bringing some humor into it. Really seems like (not to put words into peoples' mouths) Fed is sorta laughing at the situation and is with us - seeing the humor in so much drama over watches. Sad to see because I really enjoy the content both put out. I'll just wait to see what Fed says about it. But if it's something that I deem morally incorrect and it was directly from TGV, then I'll be unsubscribing from his channel. Whether I enjoy the content or not, I won't support someone bullying someone else, and especially their career/income.
Glashütte Original timepieces under appreciated, Wempe under appreciated. In fact German watchmaking industry are very under appreciated. I would take any of them instead of Swiss... if I had to take a Lange I would take all of them instead a Rolex or PP... and yes I buy what I like don't care about status
A Lange & Sohne could possibly be the best pieces of horology in the world. Very expensive yes, but look what goes into making them. And BTW Federico, again, it is great to see you back. Best wishes!
I think the Marathon watches are underrated. I have the Jumbo Day/Date, and for those who like a true tool watch, it's hard to beat. No, it's not as dressy as some dive watches out there, but if you want a rugged, reliable dive watch, this is it.
If Lange is underrated, then JLC is too. Great history, probably the best movement maker, greatest contributions in horology( more than 2000 patents). Complete collection ( from JLC Master's at 5000 $ to grand complications, tourbillons, and perps over a million ).
Haha all good. BTW thanks for motivating me to make some CZcams videos talking about my watches. I just got to a 1000 subs! So chuffed. Thanks for the great work
Fed, what you think about Perrelet Moonphase? A couple of days I saw the watch under of USD2k and I really interesting in this....but by the price we seeing many Longines many interesting...
I'd put there also Chopard LUC line. You can find LUC Sport models around or even under 3k€ if you search on the web. If one likes the styling, i think they are really hard to beat in terms of quality and movement level.
In my experience zenith el primero 1969 38mm is not underrated! Cant find well priced one. I love girard perregaux laureato as used piece! Thanks for great video!
Hi Federico,i am new fan of yours and currently in a dilemma as i have been offered a choice of Platinum version of either DATOGRAPH or LANGEMATIC perpetual both from A. lange & söhne.quite confused what to pick, pls advise.
I agree with the list, especially the Maurice LaCroix. I have the dress version of that watch (Flyback Annuaire MP6098 with the Arabic numerals & silver dial) and it's a great bang per buck. It keeps fantastic time, looks great, and the Flyback plus annual calendar are great! The finishing on it great as well.
IMO, Ball Watch Company is one of the most underrated brands. They don't garner much attention but they make some great watches and offer a tremendous value when it comes to quality for the price...I particularly enjoy my Skindiver II
Knives&Lint yes!!
Gotta be honest man, I have very little experience with the,
I've got a Bronze Star, can vouch for the great value for the $1000 price point
I have looked into Ball Watches very heavily and feel that they are amazing pieces. Love them!
Agreed. I am on my 2nd Ball. I keep buying and selling them again, I keep not choosing the right model for me. But the quality is always amazing and the tritium is just such a cool touch! Can recommend.
Just for the record. WUW vid posted tonight has 600 views and FTW is at 2700! Fed, we're all happy you're back man!
I love the sound of a watch ticking, helps me fall asleep.
ML is a very nice and under appreciated brand. I have a Pontos. I have looked at this model and with a flyback and calendar it is a nice piece. I am surprised they have not been acquired
Good choice Federico on the Maurice Lacroix. Had two of those, one in steel and one in rose gold. Plenty of watch for the money. Keep up the good work.
You forgot Eterna. Their Royal Kontiki GMT and Chronograph models can be had for less than 1/3 of MSRP with a real in-house movement of at least 60 hours and more than 160 years of swiss history and experience in movements. I just had the Royal Kontiki GMT and it's by far the best value with the specs anywhere.
I think the best watch dollar for dollar in your vid is the El Primero, Zenith makes a great watch for the money.
The zenith is world class. Look at ebel and rolex chrono from the 80's. They knew
As far as brands I believe 4 of the most underrated brands are... Girard-Perregaux.. Fortis.. Ball.. Alpina
No doubt, Ball, and Alpina
It's a pure blessing to have you back. What's really refreshing about you is your honesty and openness especially about the drama. Thanks man
You are to kind! Thank you for your support. It really does mean the world to me.
Great to have you back Fed, My two favourite watch channels are this one and Armand the watch guy. No bull , just honest , knowledgeable episodes .
You said in an interview that you didn't are for watches.
There are several Tag Heuer watches i like to see, including the Silverstone, Carrera, and Monaco CAL5110
My 8 year old son loves your videos.
Thats awesome! Made my day.
Got a Laureato 42mm blue dial last week for 7.5K brand new. Loving it.
Thinking about getting a Zenith el primero legend of cohiba rose gold next year.
where did you get it?
@@johnhatton730 Tokyo Japan
man i like your vids, they are honest, straight to the point, nice discussion but no snob babble. Keep going!
great to have YOU back doing YOUR thing.always enjoy your work mate,all the best.
Great list I agree completely. You have a aura about you that oozes respect. I greatly appreciate all that you do for youtube and the watch industry as a entity and as a whole.
Federico I always enjoy your movement behind the scenes comments. That Piaget certainly caught my eye.
Underrated brands; Stowa, Sinn, Zenith and Grand Seiko.
Vegan Dinner i think grand seiko is right where it belongs for asian movements and sinn is pretty god for swiss benchmark quality to pricepoint. Jmho
If you want to stay above the inflation curve i think older rolex pre 80s dress and for newer watches orients are underrated. Consider whats going to happen to orient while they build brand tecognition and since both them and seiko owned by epson printer now i believe?
Maybe orients may shoot up in price here in america or become the upgraded seiko brand. I just purchased the orient explorer and i was very impressed for its pricepoint. Dual time,hacking,all the upgrades including the caseback also being sapphire. Thinking about getting the mako 2.

Although we all appreciate the mechanical kudos of the brands you have picked, most of us mere mortal working class joes can't really step up to some of these incredible movements, but it was great listening to your review.
Great video and I'm glad to see you are back and uploading. Maurice Lacroix makes some really cool stuff, I love the mysterious seconds complication.
love Maurice Lacroix Masterpieces. Retrograde is good looking for sure. Still kicking pontos gmt with eta from old days.
I think you are right about the GP Laureato. If there only would be a model without date aperture available.
You had me at Lange! I was hoping you would pick them and you did! 😊
I love that tri-color El Primero. That is on my list.
Thanks for another great vid. Love the honest approach. That's why you have great credibility
Thank you Peter. I am very glad you enjoyed it brother.
Great to see you posting videos again, I really missed your content whilst you were away :)
Thanks so much Phil!
Great video Federico. It made me reconsider additional brands.
I like RGM watches they don't get much attention. One of the only American companies making in-house movements. I really like their caliber 20 and their pilot watch with the in-house movement
Great choices Fed, really liked them! Keep up the good work!
Good vid Fed, like your choice of Lange and El Primero. Not mentioned and in the rise is Grand Seiko. So what a the big news? Back to New York?
Federico, thank you so much for this interesting post. I really like A.Lange und Söhne and Piaget. The Altiplano in white gold (I would love to have the option of steel), is the most classy dress watch from my point of view. That with a black crocodile band. I consider gold in watches the most expensive in the world.
I’d take a Lange over a Patek, Vacheron, or AP any day. The only thing that gives it a run for its money in my book is Breguet. On the bright side, that decision is easy for me because I can’t afford any of them 😁
Dude, nice to have you back.
Girard Perregaux really needs a better marketing department. They make great watches.
Could not agree with you more in regards to Lange. They are absolute works of art, especially the Datograph (backside is incredible).
Hey federico sorry to hear about the quake in Naples I know you said you're a napoli fan I would have to say 2 underappreciated brands are Ball who make some superb daring watches although the aesthetics of there watches aren't something I love they definitely do their own thing and push boundaries love the tritium lume too and another brand I love is poljot they make superb reasonably priced chronograph movements I have a lot of love for poljot and strela which often in the watch community isn't reciprocated
I cannot believe TGV has taken all your collaboration videos down. More fool him as they were the only ones worth watching.
Steve Franks wait, what!? Something up in our utube watchworld?!
He really is a backstabbing nasty rat, I don't agree with all Feds opinions but i respect and enjoy his content
What happens between FTW and TGV? That makes me sad I loved bit guys videos and really enjoyed the Colabs!
Don't think I've ever seen a * Tri-Colour * El Primero, before ... so thanks for introducing me to it. I love it. :)
good to have you back we missed your content
The Lange Saxonia Thin 37 is a crazy value prop. Want want want. Great vid Fed.
Fed! Love watching your videos - keep up the great work! I've owned my Breitling Superocean Heritage 42mm for a couple years now (my first luxury watch purchase) and I'm now looking into expanding my collection. My thoughts are a JLC Ultra Thin Moon (stainless) for a dress watch followed by the Zenith EP Chronomaster for another casual sport watch (specifically the blue dial - I think it looks sick and would look amazing with a NATO). What are your thoughts? Any other recommendations?? What are your thoughts on buying these pre-owned if I can find them?
I really love the Ultra Thin Moon. My only problem with the 39mm stainless version is that the moonphase disc is a little monochrome.
Cold Shadow I agree! I wish they added some character like Blancpain does - I actually am considering the Villeret Complete Calendar Moonphase for that reason - but tough to justify the 6K premium vs the JLC
Lange under appreciated? Neighbor Glashutte Original is under appreciated. Lange date at 2 different planes is a deal breaker for me.
G Posada I was about to mention Glashutte Original but you beat me to it.. amazing watches that don't get anywhere near the attention they deserve
I own one and couldn't agree more.
I'm digging this upload schedule
thanks man!
that Zenith looks absolutely stunning I must say!
Can I make a shoutout for the Zenith Elite. A fantastic dress watch, very slim and with dials to die for.
I love the Girard. Have one on my list.
Fed, thanks again for a Great great video and picks... the GP is great (although I will keep my AP ;-) But the ML is incredible how much it offer on that modified ETA movement. Went fast to check in Chrono, and there is one on great price, from India thou... tempeting. The Piaget is a beauty, but too high in price. And about Langhe. Do you reccomend a more "accessible" vintage A. Lange & Söhne B-Uhr Type?
I love the Maurice Lacroix I bought because of this video, thanks, Fed.
Frederico- I'm laboring between the Steinhart Ocean 500 Titanium and the Tissot Seastar 1000. Could you please suggest which you would prefer? Thank you!
A. Lange & Söhne - best looking watches in the business. by a Mile
I've had a luck recently when I came across maurice lacroix masterpiece 7019 priced at 4600 euros but I got it for 1200 euros. Best watch thus far. Elegant, awesome leather contrasted with lovely silver.
I have a Maurice lacroix watch. Its the Swiss made Sapphire Crystal water ressistant.
Nice one Fed, I've missed the channel. Keep on keepin on
Zenith are very much a watch brand for a selective few, a very much niche market watch if you will. But what a watch they make, absolutely gorgeous.
For me the Swatch Group brand Mido is an underestimated entry level Swiss watch brand. They have got classic design icons like the Commander I models and watches with a modern design and specially tuned ETA movements like the chronometer certified caliber 80. There are still many models under the $1,000 mark. And even the models above 1K (new) offering a lot of value for the money!
I can't make my mind with the Laureato, but I really agree with the rest of the video, especially with the El Primero, amazing watch and great price, and Lange, which in my humble opinion are the best major watchmaker out there. PS: I also think Glashutte Original is highly underrated, what do you think?
Piaget: thickness is sometimes more important than size (diameter). Thinness alone can take away from a good wrist-feeling. It's the overall 'ratio', which counts, I believe.
Why does this guy sound lile Thirsten Howell off Giligans Island??! Haha i know I misspelled that name prolly. But he does sound like that to me. But great knowledge on watches and much appreciated homie👍👍
I especially like the Piaget pick, couldnt agree more wth that....
and the GP grew on me..I bashed it at first too for being another portal clone..but its grown on me..Id wear one as well
I agree with your choices.. I might add the Longines Legend Diver. This watch can be dressed up or down. I do own one and wear it all the time with my shirt cuffs up or down and with a white tee. I think it's one very simple clean watch. Very deceiving as a,dive watch. Second watch is the Oris Diver. Another real nice all around sports, which as a brand doesn't get the nods from the community it should, is Oris. And my final call is Ulysses Nardin is. Another brand I own and the general public has no idea who or what I'm wearing. Another watch brand that doesn't get the press it should.
Thanks keep these vlogs going I find them entertaining as well as informative.
Rocco
Hey Fed, nice video. You need to start a service...watch shopping with Fed...charge for it...seriously.
Lol... that sounds like my DREAM JOB!
As far as Zenith, I think the 410 is awesome. But some people cannot afford to own multiple luxury watches so if they have one choice, it is probably another brand. Also, A. Lange is in a higher tier to where most average people would not consider them. I think watch makers need to have better understanding of the market and where they should be battling. The average working man who is into watches and willing to spend 10k will always go Rolex before anything else. The average person not huge into watches but wants something nice of the wrist will probably go with Tag or Movado. Those who are rich and know little about watches will grab a Rolex, Nautalis, Royal Oak. Then comes the small population who are rich and know about watches and they will explore A. Lange and other high end brands.
what do you think of the ML Aikon Automatic?
I would add the Ulysses Nardin dual time to the list and the Omega aqua terra
Very interesting choices. I think UN makes some great looking watches.
Omega aqua terra! Love it!
Good to see you back making quality vids with great content😊
Btw I'm hoping you don't make anymore vids with tgv........i've always enjoyed watch reviews a lot more if i actually like the person doing the review......you come across as a good bloke Fed,
If Tgv was chocolate he would eat himself or at least thats the impression i get
I would say Eterna Royal KonTiki GMT. A fully in-house GMT movement, fantastic looking original design and a company with some real heritage. And no-one talks about them!
What do you think about Victorinox Inox diver stainless steel? Or Citizen Blue Angels??
Are they reliable watches ?
I agree with Christin about the Girard-Perregaux Laureato. The ML, at that price, cannot be beaten. I like the Zenith and agree it is getting much more publicity. Not a Piaget fan but like the PoloS. People flock to pilot or sports watches. Lange's sweetspot is the dress watch area. The Lange Grande 1 and the Zeitwerk are both amazing horological pieces but would not get enough wrist-time to prioritize over other wishlist items.
Strangely, I think Vacheron is under appreciated in the US - especially for a Holy Trinity brand. I rarely if ever see anyone in the groups sporting one. Also, there are 3 variants so you can get a good price. I agree with your recent video on Breguet, it is under-valued (loved your video). Finally, preowned JLCs are low enough for more people to own them and they do not. Strange.
That ''Piaget'' watch is amazing!
Hi Frederico, first of all thank you very much for a good list and you channel 👍
My list:
Oris classic date
Longines Conqvest automatics or vhp
Sinn 556 or 103 or 104
Omega dynamic chrono
Fortis official cosmonautus
of course it cane be 65 and aquis too ;)
Loved this video. Off-beat, odd choices. All well considered. Fun video.
Outstanding video, great to see you back!
Top presentation! Thanks a lot from Dubai.
I'd put GRONEFELD on the list. Of course they are a small production brand / micro-brand and they produce very expensive watches, but I do find that they are underrated.
JLC Geophysic True Second & Breguet 7727.
Two amazing modern watches which don't get near the credit they deserve.
Will we ever see you colab with TGV again? Great to see you back and keep up the great work.
I don't know. You should ask and see what he thinks lol...
Federico Talks Watches whaaaat? Did I miss the messy break up
The Skippie I don't know what happened but things got little too hot for me especially in the ugwc group where mods were banning some people if they mentioned fed.
No.
Lmao Fed bringing some humor into it. Really seems like (not to put words into peoples' mouths) Fed is sorta laughing at the situation and is with us - seeing the humor in so much drama over watches.

Glashütte Original timepieces under appreciated, Wempe under appreciated. In fact German watchmaking industry are very under appreciated. I would take any of them instead of Swiss... if I had to take a Lange I would take all of them instead a Rolex or PP... and yes I buy what I like don't care about status
Very good video, the Maurice Lacroix are gorgeous
Love the Zenith Elite line as I'm a dress watch guy but wish they would make them smaller than 40mm .
+Marktuyet they have an older model at 38mm in gold... a friend of mine is selling one...
You have only these crazy expensive watches.
I think Oris is really underrated. You get a lot for your money, and they have great finishing.
I would say Ball Watch Co. is more underappreciated than many of these. They are incredibly sound watches for their price point.
A Lange & Sohne could possibly be the best pieces of horology in the world. Very expensive yes, but look what goes into making them. And BTW Federico, again, it is great to see you back. Best wishes!
haha, i got a vintage swatch watch as well & i LOVE that i can hear it tick.
Fed, have you seen the original Maurice Lacroix Flyback? The two tone is beautiful. I'm sorry I never picked one up.
I think the Marathon watches are underrated. I have the Jumbo Day/Date, and for those who like a true tool watch, it's hard to beat. No, it's not as dressy as some dive watches out there, but if you want a rugged, reliable dive watch, this is it.
Glad your back on the regular Fed.
I love all of GP's watches
Carl F Bucherer Patravi line is very cool and in noticed.
Fed could you do a video on nomos
I like the Maurice Lacroix Annual calendar Flyback. The Piaget Altiplano is to thin and fragile for me.
Fe d you are so right l would never by a watch thinking to get my money back l have it because I love it.
If Lange is underrated, then JLC is too. Great history, probably the best movement maker, greatest contributions in horology( more than 2000 patents). Complete collection ( from JLC Master's at 5000 $ to grand complications, tourbillons, and perps over a million ).
Dude the seconds hand sweeps much faster. That was almost quartz like! LoL
Lol, I totally realized while editing... Oh well, you guys get the idea! ;)
Haha all good. BTW thanks for motivating me to make some CZcams videos talking about my watches. I just got to a 1000 subs! So chuffed. Thanks for the great work
CONGRATS MAN! Thats quite the milestone... Keep going at it.
Fed, what you think about Perrelet Moonphase? A couple of days I saw the watch under of USD2k and I really interesting in this....but by the price we seeing many Longines many interesting...
I'd put there also Chopard LUC line. You can find LUC Sport models around or even under 3k€ if you search on the web. If one likes the styling, i think they are really hard to beat in terms of quality and movement level.
+valebliz very true. Great pieces.
In my experience zenith el primero 1969 38mm is not underrated! Cant find well priced one. I love girard perregaux laureato as used piece! Thanks for great video!
Certainly not as easy to find as the 42mm thats for sure.
Great vid Fed, keep´em comming!
Thanks so much dalton!
Hi Federico,i am new fan of yours and currently in a dilemma as i have been offered a choice of Platinum version of either DATOGRAPH or LANGEMATIC perpetual both from
