Win an Oris Artix Audi Sport GMT: http://swee.ps/gGRaSRcaj BEST FEATURE OF THE WEEK: (Omega vs. Grand Seiko): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5WyLVUzyvc Luxury watch buyers, watch collectors, and watch enthusiasts get their fill of Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Tudor watches… until Tim recommends the sports watches that watch buyers should buy INSTEAD of these mainstays. In fact, the evening’s focus is on superior alternatives to the Rolex GMT-Master II “Pepsi” 216710, the Patek Philippe 5968A Aquanaut Chronograph, and the Tudor Black Bay GMT 79830RB. As watch buyers line up to sit on wait lists, pay aftermarket premiums, and delay gratification, Tim offers superior options from Vacheron Constantin, Sinn watches (Sinn Spezialuhren), and Grand Seiko; the Overseas Chronograph 5500V, the Sinn 103 Ti Diapal, and the SBGJ227 “Peacock,” respectively. Additional commentary arrives in the form of new model year controversies from SIHH and Baselworld 2018. The Panerai Luminor and Luminor Due collection failed to please the Paneristi; Breitling’s Navitimer 8 road show never hit high gear; the FP Journe Linesport Monopusher Rattrapante provoked sideways glances and swipes at its proportions. Tim reviews all of these controversial watches while giving his take on each. A viewer question concerning the most underrated watch of 2018 leads Tim to revisit a limited edition from Glashutte Original: the Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar 1-36-02-03-04-01. This 100-piece white gold complication isn’t, by itself, a revolutionary watch. But as the template for a future direction, the new GO Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar might hold the keys to a brand revival in Glashutte. Tim fields a query that hits near to home when a viewer inquires as to whether he should purchase the Jaeger LeCoultre Amvox 2 DBS chronograph in titanium or stainless steel. Thanks to a number of eagle-eyed viewers, our host names and shames some of the worst watch sales listings on eBay and Chrono24. Our show contains all of the above and watch collector wrist shots this evening on “Watches Tonight.” |
