Smaller or original, gotta give it to whoever made the black bays. Both are GORGEOUS looking watches. Edit: can't beat the pateks tho. Always my fav brand, followed by ulysse nardin
Great video, I have to say the Tudor GMT looks stunning. One of the under the radar watches of this year is the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms and Breguet Marine Collection, a shame that this year Basel is much smaller than last years, but still had a great day there
Spot on.. the watches everyone wanted! Everyone wanted a Pepsi steel.. and it’s stunning imo.. the black bay 58 is the watch the black bay should of been to start with and The sea master is better in every way with a wave dial.
y2ksierra Unfortunately, we both know that they wont. That's the new rolex strategy. Tudor gmt will be available though. Much better value for a collection.
Availability? That’s a good one! I called my AD within 10 min of opening on release day and their list was already closed and at five years. Of course that was their way of saying “we don’t want to sell this to you” and they’ll end up going to vip’s who’ve spent much more money there than I have.
You guys are amazing as a youtube channel. I got to learn a lot about watches - all thanks to you guys. Made me unfollow all the plethora of unpolished and unprofessional watch review channels like Revolution watches. Keep up the good work, eagerly waiting for the next video :)
Nautilus has been always the hardest timepiece to buy. Few weeks ago, I went to a Patek Store, and was asking about Nautilus, and I was immediately informed that they no longer taking orders/reservations, as their waiting lists have already passed five year mark. Although they were much delighted to offer me other Patek watches that I can purchase and have it anytime
Some of my favorites from the popular watch crowd that's for sure. I loved Angelus's U50 Tourbillon, the ArtyA watch 1/1s, the Hublot Red Ceramic, the Rolex two tone Root Beer, the STEEL ROLEX THAT PISSED EVERYONE WHO BOUGHT WHITE GOLD OFF on jubi, the QlockTwo BLACK BADGER stuff was insanely sexy, the new Tag Heuer Smartwatch. It was all great in 2018.
"unlikely" my mind just imagined some rich person somewhere in the world watching this video with the new Nautilus on his wrist. Imagine having the means to just say "yep ill have one of those new Pateks".
I’m buying the BB 58 as soon as they ship. For the quality and style/size, I cannot think of a better value proposition currently. It is one of the only watches I would be happy to pay MSRP for.
Very well thought out, but I do disagree a lil. The Pepsi GMT master was a surprise but the toolier Tudor Pepsi was my release of the year. As well I was just stunned by the Tag heuer tourbillion Chrono, which looks great and offers a complication for a very interesting price. What liked to was Rolex release of a plain black and white dial for their OP watches in 34, 36 and 39mm. The new seamaster I did expect but the wave structure doesn’t do it for me. Still, this years baselworld was since a long time a really exciting one. And leaves me excited for the next ...
Still the best channel out there, well done!! I am also doing a series of videos covering one brand at a time and in the Omega video I tried to learn from you by giving a little history lesson, but my quality is still MILES away from yours!!
Thank you very much, your continued support is appreciated. Seems like you're off to a good start. Keep at it and you'll get better and better. The way to think about it is not to list facts but to tell stories. The narrative is king! Keep it up, good work.
The Pepsi GMT Master II in "Oystersteel" has to be the star of the show. But the price of this watch is almost close to the previous versions in White Gold. It shud hv been much cheaper. We won't find it anyways. Rolex has a way to control the supply and thus hv resorted to continuously keep a shortage of their Steel Sports watches. I preferred the GMT Master on the Oyster bracelet. It has that toolish look. The jubilee suits the Datejust. But then thats just me. I like the Black Bay as well. Overall very well done. I was hoping u wud review the new piece in Platinum from Grand Seiko as well, wth a 50K Euro price tag.
do you think it was possible to review a Jaeger LeCoultre Geophysic 1958 (so the pre-"true second" model...)? In my eyes that is one of the most beautiful and timeless timepieces of all time. Thanks for the Basel-update... great channel. As always: keep going.
Have you ever tried on a Rolex and a skx009? On the wrist, ... its like a BMW vs a Lada. The Rolex feels so good its hard to take it off.. the feeling of quality and precision is amazing and very comfortable... The skx009 bracelet is so cheap and nasty, the only solution is to take it off and throw it in the trash, and use a Nato strap.
Daniel D'Esposito I think he his meaning the aesthetics of the bracelet. That i most say looks cheap and ugly. But its true that its well made. Its what rolex does best effective bracelets. Just the aesthetic isnt the best. They should had done like the white gold version. Talking about it now it has a blue dial. I think they should had kept the black and added the blue as a choose between both.
Great review and great picks! I dig the BB58, it’s almost the perfect “one-only” watch, if it wasn’t for the missing date.. 😕 GS also released some stunning special editions that will, unfortunately, be out of most people’s reach. Great work! 👍
What would you suggest for someone who will treat their watch as a tool, rather than a price of jewelry? Military use, and I need to switch to something more reliable, ie no batteries. All my friends say Rolex or Patek Philippe but they don't handle such a variety of automatics. Usually just a one and done sort of crowd.
I've always been a fan of the TT Black Sub but I can't justify the cost so I guess that TT Tudor Black Bay would have to do. And I also like they're GMT.
I'd bet that in person, the waves are far more subdued than they appear in these super close-up, high-resolution photos. I think the watch will look great.
highnrising Maybe. But the lack of applied Omega logo ruins the overall look of the watch. Deal breaker for me. Also prefer the waves to go across the entire dial like how it was on the old waves model. Seems pretty half hearted from Omega.
I do not like the Planet Oceans. I think they're overly thick, the hands are cartoonish and the dial is a mess with the Arabic numerals unsymmetrically arranged. I'm somewhat excited about seeing the latest technology in the Diver 300M, which I think is a much more elegant watch than the P.O. I don't need the Omega name "applied." Applied hour markers are functional. They stand out and make the watch easier to read. The brand logo is just advertising. I don't even think the Patek logo on that Nautilus is applied.
The worst decision Omega made was taking those iconic waves off of the Seamaster Pro. Not a great fan of the new one but its certainly a step in the right direction.
Please review the Perpetual Calendar from Ochs Und Junior & the amazingly esoteric mind of Ludwig Oechslin. Very similar to, in spirit, the watches from H. Moser & Cie... not well known, but incredible in their own right.
Thank you so much for the vid. I can never understand the craze on Rolex updated models. Not particular to this gmt, Why are there Long waiting lists at AD for updates that merely changes in 1 or 2mm of case diameter, use of steel/gold/duo tone, in this case slightly better, a new movement that has 70hr power reserve (which tudor has been using years ago)? I’m not bashing Rolex, I just want to understand. I had few rolexes but now loving my tudor north flag.
Tudor pepsi GMT is a far better watch than the Rolex. If it wasn't for the value of the Rolex name, diligently purchased with hundreds of millions of euro in marketing, Tudor would completely undermine the big brother brand.
I absolutely love your channel. Thank you for all of your reviews! I would love to see you do a review of the Rolex day date ii ref number 218238 with a champagne diamond dial. It seems like there a very few reviews of that watch. Thanks!
Guys, it's your first video I don't fully agree with. There was amazing releases this year and somehow two Tudors and Omega make the cut here. Zenith had a great year and so did BVLGARI with a multiple world record breaking watch. Jaquet Droz and Grand Seiko impressed again...and many many many others, yet again, the focus is on Rolex and Tudor...just because (you think the public will want to hear so).. Not my favourite video!! I think there was better content from the show to put in your first BW 2018 video. PS I do love the channel and am a dedicated follower hence why I feel the need to be honest.
I always think that Rolex Super Case looks ugly, so I prefer older Rolex GMT much more. It seems that Rolex hasn’t put enough effort to design their new watch these days. On the other hand, Tudor always does a great job and produces good design that excites me. I really like the Tudor black bay fifty-eight !
Great video but I am not sure I would agree with the comment that "today's Tudor owners are tomorrow's Rolex owners". For some people, they buy the Tudor precisely because its not a Rolex. I would not say that Rolex is any more aspirational than a Tudor and that one graduates to a Rolex. Implies Tudor is less special, which, in my view is simply not the case.
We know you want more watches…. click here: linktr.ee/watchfinder
Nicely done with the iPad to show the details
Thanks very much!
I cannot stress enough how pleasant these videos are (as well as informative!) I want WF&Co to read me bedtime stories
Once upon a time...
The Black Bay 58 is the star of Baselworld!
czcams.com/video/lci3ijH-sOM/video.html
Bronze Bay better.
A 39mm Black Bay would never have gone unnoticed
The seamaster looks amazing.
THE SPEEDMASTER "DARK SIDE OF THE MOON" APOLLO 8
is the loveliest watch in Basel world 2018. That's insane!
One of the most creative channel on CZcams in terms of using the medium. So impressive!
Thank you!
Never stop doing these videos, absolutely love them and the style in which they are made. Also, don't change the narrator!
Thank you very much!
Smaller or original, gotta give it to whoever made the black bays. Both are GORGEOUS looking watches.
Edit: can't beat the pateks tho. Always my fav brand, followed by ulysse nardin
This channel is just pure class.
They're making smaller watches!! WE WON!!!
Victory is sweet. But we always knew we would win, didn't we ;)
My max size is 45mm (panerai). What's yours?
41mm I have a 6.5 inch wrist so sad
Pam 372 (47mm).
It's not the 41mm width that bugs me so much about the Black Bay. It's the overly thick 14.8mm case. This is where the 58 is a winner.
This is the best Basel video yet. Thank you.
Great video, I have to say the Tudor GMT looks stunning. One of the under the radar watches of this year is the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms and Breguet Marine Collection, a shame that this year Basel is much smaller than last years, but still had a great day there
Spot on.. the watches everyone wanted! Everyone wanted a Pepsi steel.. and it’s stunning imo.. the black bay 58 is the watch the black bay should of been to start with and The sea master is better in every way with a wave dial.
This guy can talk about different types of sandwiches and it will still sound amazing :)
The GMT is intriguing. I hope these will have actual availability at authorized dealers and not end up another marked up grey market special.
y2ksierra Unfortunately, we both know that they wont. That's the new rolex strategy. Tudor gmt will be available though. Much better value for a collection.
I agree 100%.
Availability? That’s a good one! I called my AD within 10 min of opening on release day and their list was already closed and at five years. Of course that was their way of saying “we don’t want to sell this to you” and they’ll end up going to vip’s who’ve spent much more money there than I have.
White Buffalo yep. That is a joke. Same exactly as with rolex daytona steel
Didnt age well

Appreciated, thank you!
Love this video !! 🙏🏼
Is the new Rolex Pepsi GMT Master 2 a Steinhart homage?
Tudor fifty eight is stunning!
Well done!
I remember this channel when it had a couple thousand subscribers. look at you now!! pure quality :))))

Perfect overview! Thank you. 👍
Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much, great channel. The Black Bay 58 is very nice, I am sure it will also be popular amongst the NEW GMT2 jubilee dial.
Thank you for watching!
Great vid I must say the Maurice larcoix icon automatic is one of the new bang per buck king not a fan of homage pieces but totally blown away
I know that the swatch sistem 51 isn't a luxury watch at all, but it would be grat to see it on this channel.
39mm Black Bay! Finally we're sizing down.
czcams.com/video/lci3ijH-sOM/video.html
I really enjoyed your video, thank you very much
may be you could talk about some vacheron constantin (overseas, historical...
Check out this recent video: czcams.com/video/aOTTaC5kL3w/video.html
Great job!
Thanks!
Best ever Watch Review Channel - Pure Class. . .
Thanks a lot!
"unlikely" my mind just imagined some rich person somewhere in the world watching this video with the new Nautilus on his wrist. Imagine having the means to just say "yep ill have one of those new Pateks".
I would also mention the Breitlings... Breitling is really kicking ass these days... new clean desirable watches replacing the bloated bling.
Daniel D'Esposito Still way oversized though
Not the new Navitimer 1 at 38mm... look it up. Or the new Navitimer 8 at 41mm.
I could listen to you talk for hours 👏
Thank you!
Fantastic video.
Thank you.
Please review Fortis. I think it's the most overlooked watch brand.
I’m buying the BB 58 as soon as they ship. For the quality and style/size, I cannot think of a better value proposition currently. It is one of the only watches I would be happy to pay MSRP for.
Patek Phillipe was amazeing..
Very well thought out, but I do disagree a lil. The Pepsi GMT master was a surprise but the toolier Tudor Pepsi was my release of the year.
As well I was just stunned by the Tag heuer tourbillion Chrono, which looks great and offers a complication for a very interesting price.

Good to see Dhgate has plenty of stock of the GMT Master II in SS with Jubilee
do you think it was possible to review a Jaeger LeCoultre Geophysic 1958 (so the pre-"true second" model...)? In my eyes that is one of the most beautiful and timeless timepieces of all time. Thanks for the Basel-update... great channel. As always: keep going.
I'll add it to the list. Thank you!
Hello watchfinder, I'm curious about this watch Beijing Tourbillion. Can you enlighten me about this watch brand and history? Thank you!
Could you look at the Tissot Powermatic 80 COSC? Amazing movement for the price
We'll certainly try!
Smooth vid, even the talking hands, with wrist and finger twitches is like a Swiss movement ;)
That Rolex GMT is now like a Seiko skx009 with that bracelet.
Have you ever tried on a Rolex and a skx009? On the wrist, ... its like a BMW vs a Lada. The Rolex feels so good its hard to take it off.. the feeling of quality and precision is amazing and very comfortable... The skx009 bracelet is so cheap and nasty, the only solution is to take it off and throw it in the trash, and use a Nato strap.

Just the aesthetic isnt the best. They should had done like the white gold version. Talking about it now it has a blue dial. I think they should had kept the black and added the blue as a choose between both.
Indeed on the photo its similar. Because Seiko copied Rolex.
Daniel D'Esposito I'm pretty sure it was a joke.
I'm pretty sure a BMW on the wrist is very painful also!
Great review and great picks! I dig the BB58, it’s almost the perfect “one-only” watch, if it wasn’t for the missing date.. 😕
GS also released some stunning special editions that will, unfortunately, be out of most people’s reach.
Great work! 👍

All my friends say Rolex or Patek Philippe but they don't handle such a variety of automatics. Usually just a one and done sort of crowd.
Mido ocean star 600m is great in value n quality ☺
NO mention of thickness on the 300M from anyone. Someone please tell me how much the thickness has gone up!!
Why not add prices?
Rolex day date in steel please... Or annual calendar in day date model
What is the lug to lug measurement (not lug width) on the Tudor 58?
Do you have any thoughts on the Tempus Machina 216s?
Question, the Seamaster on another video tuber a person says that is has superluminouva on bezel but not shown on the official web video of omega
Blackbay 58, Longines Heritage Military and Grand Seiko take it in my book
I've always been a fan of the TT Black Sub but I can't justify the cost so I guess that TT Tudor Black Bay would have to do. And I also like they're GMT.
Can you review the Baume et Mercier Indian scout please ?
Tudor vibes.
I was anticipating for the new 20th anniversary GS
I guess I'm in the minority but I absolutely hate the wave dial.
I'd bet that in person, the waves are far more subdued than they appear in these super close-up, high-resolution photos. I think the watch will look great.
highnrising Maybe. But the lack of applied Omega logo ruins the overall look of the watch. Deal breaker for me. Also prefer the waves to go across the entire dial like how it was on the old waves model. Seems pretty half hearted from Omega.

What's the reference of the coke GMT in your hand ?
It's the white gold 116719 BLRO
Nice table!!
Am i the only one blown away by the new omega speedmaster apollo 8!.. Fucking beautiful watch
The worst decision Omega made was taking those iconic waves off of the Seamaster Pro. Not a great fan of the new one but its certainly a step in the right direction.
Please review seiko skx vs orient ray 2
Please please please
No Seiko and Grand Seiko- sad.
Looking for a Tag
Please review the Perpetual Calendar from Ochs Und Junior & the amazingly esoteric mind of Ludwig Oechslin. Very similar to, in spirit, the watches from H. Moser & Cie... not well known, but incredible in their own right.
soupistasty5 I love the Ochs and junior perpetual. It is insanely cool.
What happened to the Asahi camera in the upper left corner of the desk?
Didn't fit with the iPad. It'll be back!
Can you talk about cuervo and sobrinos please! I really love your channel! Your the best!
the nautilus damm
I'm suprised no one has mentioned the Rolex 6542 when describing the new Tudor GMT.
What are the chances that Tudor will decrease the thickness of their 41mm black bay?
Could you review ball watches please. It has all the fetures but not the price point why? Also why is it not popular
this channel is a shitter freeee zone! I just love Rooooooooooooooooooolex!
The BLRO you are holding seems to have a defective cyclops?
Thank you so much for the vid. I can never understand the craze on Rolex updated models.

i felt Omega DSOTM Apollo 8 should be there instead of Omega Seamaster.
Tudor pepsi GMT is a far better watch than the Rolex. If it wasn't for the value of the Rolex name, diligently purchased with hundreds of millions of euro in marketing, Tudor would completely undermine the big brother brand.

I think so too. Many other watchermakers too
Grand Seiko dials/movements are better than Rolex
I always think that Rolex Super Case looks ugly, so I prefer older Rolex GMT much more. It seems that Rolex hasn’t put enough effort to design their new watch these days. On the other hand, Tudor always does a great job and produces good design that excites me.
I really like the Tudor black bay fifty-eight !
I still don't like the ceramic pepsi bezel. I think the Tudor looks far better.
Hummmm no. No way.
But the black bay case at 41mm isn't for everyone.
I agree, ceramic is awful looking.
Fully agree
I don't think Tudor looks better. Infact it doesn't stand near Rolex
My favorites are
Bulgari octo tourbillon
Harry Winston histoire du tourbillon
Chopard first strike
Nautilus perpetual calender
Great video but I am not sure I would agree with the comment that "today's Tudor owners are tomorrow's Rolex owners". For some people, they buy the Tudor precisely because its not a Rolex. I would not say that Rolex is any more aspirational than a Tudor and that one graduates to a Rolex. Implies Tudor is less special, which, in my view is simply not the case.
Please do review on Rado captain cook
Black Bay 58 or the new seamaster 300, which one do you pick for an everyday watch?
Roberto Ramon the 58.
What happened to your camera? I liked that, always gave a vintage look.
Didn't fit with the iPad. It'll be back!
I been waiting for coke bezel..not Pepsi
You should paint lips on your hands and have them talk about the watches? Just for a comedic interlude.
Cleaver presentation too. 👍
Omega has been going in the wrong direction for years. They can learn a lot from Tudor
again very interesting ta
Zeno Basel
That nautilas perpetual calendar is breathtaking
