10 Watches To Avoid

perhaps you think you know the kinds of watches you would like to buy but you're not sure about the ones you should avoid well I'm here to make sure you don't make a costly mistake if you have bought a watch it turns out you didn't like you can sell it over at watchfinder.com get a quote today there's been a huge amount of fuss over the new Tudor black bait 54 because frankly it's legendary what more could you possibly want from a vintage inspired Rolex sibling for just over four thousand dollars not only is it some three times cheaper than its biggest Submariner brother it's also to many eyes better looking too and Tudor have really worked the details ironing out the little almost invisible creases of the previous black Bay 58. it's the perfect daily driver that is unless you like your watches bigger it's a 37 millimeter case and although it doesn't wear as small as you'd imagine if you like a bigger piece say the 42 millimeter Explorer 2 you're going to be disappointed budget Bastion of swish Swiss watchmaking tiso has been doing things with steel that have made a lot of people hankering for unobtainable mechanical Delicacies very happy when the watch Gods decided we all wanted a Royal Oak Only to Smite us with prices like telephone numbers it was a sad sad time thankfully tiso took pity on us miserable wrecks delivering the humble PRX and it's got the lines it's got the angles it's got everything but a questionable story about its last minute design to keep even the most Avid watch themed happy that is unless that fiend has medium to small wrist sizes don't let the 40 millimeter case fool you those first links are completely rigid making it too big for a lot of wrists but don't sweat it because they've made a smaller one now if you've got eyes for the best most expensive sports watches in the market then you'll be weighing up the big three the vacheron constantan oversees the Audemar PK Royal Oak and the Patek Philippe Nautilus the first two very much live up to the expectation crisp chunky and Incredibly solid they find a balance between sporty and luxurious that Rivals a sofa on slicks the Patek Philippe Nautilus on the other hand in its simplest form it's surprisingly slender and delicate it's as sporty as seaweed so if you're thinking of one to be your go-to daily to see you through the rigors of Life think again it's probably not the one for you when the first pictures of the Tudor black Bay Pro came out the world said as one that's it that's the watch I'm going to buy and wear for the rest of my life and who can blame them the Heritage inspired design and creamy off-white colors go better than butter on well any french dish at 39 millimeters across it was size at the official best case diameter in the world according to scientists and so the game was on for it to become the greatest watch of all time and forever no returns but the problem with pictures is that they're 2D the Tudor black Bay Pro is very much 3D it's so 3D in fact that many people thought it was too 3D with almost 15 millimeters of three-dimensionality I'm afraid it's just not the dream come true many of us had hoped so there's this watch and it's basically perfect good size beautiful design rugged enough for daily wear but still all nades in a way that'll keep you coming back again and again just to look at it I know you're supposed to look at watches that's how you tell the time I mean the looking where you forget to read the time at all it's the Omega Speedmaster and if you get the one with a see-through back you also get to see what I think is this watch is crowning Jewel the 3861 chronograph caliber there are few watches with that kind of view and even less under ten thousand dollars only one problem the reason it looks so good May well be the reason it's just not good for you you have to wind it yourself no self-winding Rota weight and certainly no beefy power Reserve either so if that sounds like effort steer clear one of the great pilot swatches of all time is the Breitling navitimer part watch part Da Vinci Code the navitimer is a watch used by clever people to fly planes regardless of whether or not you're one of those clever people wearing the navitimer certainly makes you feel like you could have been one if only your parents had sent you to a better school short of giving yourself a cool sign and walking around town in a khaki jumpsuit this is as close as you can get to fulfilling your Ace pilot dream without breaking into an Air Force Base a bit of a neat freak however then stay away not just because the dial is messier than a teenager's bedroom but because lining up the bezel at rest is impossible match up the red 60 with the red dial marker at 12. the two tens over on the right don't match up impossible everyone's favorite fictional spy is James Bond sorry Matt Damon and so who wouldn't want to dress the part thankfully Omega have released a metric ton of limited edition Bond watches to celebrate its partnership with the Suave murderer with one of the most popular being the sea Master no time to die with military-themed details and a vintage coloration plus the added benefit of not having a corny James Bond Motif on the dial side the no time to Die edition is the perfect balance one problem though if you like the weight of a luxury watch with this being titanium you're going to be rather disappointed it's one of the first watches to bring back the Vintage dive vibe that has absolutely gripped the industry recently and it continues to be one of the best and best value the long logs twin crowns and internal bezel hark back to the compressor case design of the 1950s a look that was superseded by the simpler and much cheaper premise of the typical dive watch more elegant than a Seamaster cheaper than a black Bay and has more Heritage than a super ocean they even make it in bronze which looks incredible although those pristine bronze curves won't last if you like your watches gleaming stay away because the seafaring bronze will quickly patina and fade let's say you've made bank and you're looking to park some of it in a watch that defines high-end classical watchmaking the Patek Philippe 5180 is absolutely a watch to consider why because the caliber 240 squ micro rotor movement has been entirely skeletonized decorated and engraved by hand it's the Pinnacle of craftsmanship the purest form of watchmaking Elegance shaped by the hands of a master Decades of experience at the highest level have gone into making the 5180 what it is why should you exercise caution well if you have a beautiful smooth tanned wrist this watch will look utterly exquisite pale hairy arm shines through the empty space wrought within the movement The Experience may be somewhat tainted want a really cool watch that everyone loves but don't want to spend over a hundred dollars impossible you might think but no entirely doable it is thanks to the might of calculator piano maker Casio that you can have your cake eat it and come back for seconds this is the cassiope and it's legendary with a cheeky 70s integrated silhouette and G-Shock ruggedness for the added reassurance of a multi-story drop it's an absolute no-brainer that is unless you have even the slightest issue with your eyesight some models have a contrasting color on the hands which isn't too bad but then others are about as readable as Finnegan's wake you have been warned so now you know what's your advice to would be watch bias let me know down in the comments please like And subscribe and
