out of complete boredom today in almost lockdown conditions I decide to review and compare 4 of my favourite watches which I currently own .
Why review and compare these 4 pieces ? Well for one I own them all at the moment , and they are similarly priced at RRP and also at used mint condition.
All these watches are sold at RRP around the £4000 or just over , and all can be bought used in mint condition between £2600 to £2800 at the moment .
So if you have a budget of around £2500 or just over , then all these are an option for you .
First of all is my heuer autavia panda chrono . It’s a real beauty and one of the only tag’s I like and would actually buy . It’s colour scheme is stunning , and it has an exhibition caseback too . It comes on the beads of rice bracelet which I have mint In The box but prefer it on this short length leather racer strap . My only gripe is I wish it was a mm or 2 thinner
Secondly is my blue pelagos , the blue is simply stunning and the contrast between the white markers and hands is stunning , the lume is atomic and the case is hard as nails titanium . My favourite aspect is Tudors iconic snowflake hour hand . My only gripe is the titanium bracelet is a bit of a hair puller when on the wrist
My third is my speedy moonwatch , this one has the stunning curved plexi glass which shows very fine scratches but I wouldn’t change it for the harder sapphire crystal glass as this one has bags more character , the design is iconic and rivals the Daytona for looks in my opinion . My only gripe would be that the crown is tricky to operate as it’s small and fidelly compared to the other 3
Finally my limited edition seiko SLA033 , my favourite out of all the current seiko re-issues , it’s an iconic design based on the original turtles and is as strong as a tank . It’s 4pm crown position , square markers and great lume scream seiko at its finest . The bezel is also a major step up from all sub £1000 seikos . My only gripe is the case shape and size is quite large and borderline too big for my skinny wrists .
There you have it guys , an honest comparison of 4 stunning watches ,
