In today’s quick video I seek the Gentry’s advice. It has been almost 2 years since my life changing experience at Harrods of London trying on the A.Lange & Sohne Langematik. And understandably, it subsequently became my long term grail watch. However, I know all to well how short life can be and before I spend that kind of money, (and get very old in the process of saving) maybe I should consider a more affordable alternative? It just so happens that recently I fell in love with a similar watch from the famous “Holy Trinity”(Patek, AP & VC) and now perhaps my plans have changed. But before I make my moves, I hand it over to the most knowledgeable and experienced watch enthusiast community of all, the Gentry! So please share and vote on your nominations in the comments.
I then conclude this video with an unboxing and first impression of my final purchase for my watch collection for 2017. A very cool diver indeed with some rather nifty design elements indeed.

“It’s a bit ridiculous, but I match my watch with my outfit.” I do this everyday!
Good video, however saying the Miyota is vastly superior to the ETA is just silly. On par, maybe.
“Rarely”… Marvelous turquoise matte bezel. Gosh!
I know this is random but this video perfectly explains how I feel about sieko discontinueing the old cocktail time and moving it over to the presage line of watches https://youtu.be/BUS99d4NIHA
I propose the glashutte original panomaticlunar not in the Holy trinity but imo the perfect Moonphase dress watch aside from lange ofc
Benchmark hehe
iwc portugese is what you could consider.
BTW could you make a video or a reply if there are cheap look alikes of this watch..affordable for a student (400max)
Glashütte Original Senator Chronograph Panorama Date 1-37-01-03-02-33
My suggestion: Jaeger-Lecoultre Master Calendar in Stainless Steel. This watch is priced under US $10,000. A beautiful piece! By the way, that is a very nice jacket. Would go well with any fine watch.
I thought he was gonna unbox a Diver from the holy trinity. Lucky I fast forward the video!! Boooooooo!
Maybe take a look at Panarai? i own a PAM441 and i love it to death
Screw Holy Trinity, to me that expression doesn’t make sense at all. I’d suggest to either pick a nice JLC or rather get one of the incredible German watches from Lange or Glashütte Original (as a German I might be a little biased haha :D)
THANK YOU BUDDY GOT MY FIRST “REAL WATCH “Squale Squalematic 60 Atmos !!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey buddy easy on the hair jokes some of us started to depart with it in early 20s 🙂 As for watch why not Omega moon watch moon phase ? Or Carl F. Bucherer Manero Moonphase ?
i know this is not part of the topic, but i am seeing more and more videos on subscription watch company’s, what are your thoughts, mine are they are a waste of money with no real value
Can someone please tell me how the hell a lumed crown is pure class? Lol especially on a homage. I’m sure it’s a solid watch, but it’s definite a homage.
PP 5396G-011
Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for another awesome video! 🙂
It is an homage
TGV- Why not look into a nice Vacheron Contantin OVERSEAS?? I’ve got one, and it gets lots of compliments!!
Very Nice TGV, when you removed it from the box, I thought to myself ‘what’s up with that braclet’ then realised it has a plastic protective thing on it lol. Very cool with the lumen on the crown as well. Best Wishes
Chris
an other $150 watch the market is getting flooded by these crappy chinese clones what a shame, get a serious watch from seiko , citizen or orient you wont be disappointed, you thank me later
We want the full review pls perfavore
My current grail is the Vacheron Constantin Triple Calendrier 1948, in blue! Beautiful piece! Tried it out last week and it is absolutely stunning 😀
Audemars Piquet Millenary Perpetual Calender Moon Phase white gold!

All due respect to ‘the holy trinity’, but I feel it misses a few very serious & important names. Seriously urge you to coin a better collective – it actually might stick and be a great legacy. E.g. add lange and jlc. Enid Blighton managed several. Why not?
