Now we’re getting to the pointy end of the 2021 roundup, and there isn’t a single watch listed here that doesn’t mean serious business. Between $10,000 and $20,000 USD lie some people’s grail watches, culture-changing icons, or if you’re lucky, just more nice watches for the collection. Here are some of the best releases of 2021.

I'm wearing the Reverso Duoface...and the Reverso Duoface is my pick! It's classy, but it can pull off casual with a calfskin strap (and as you mentioned, the strap is amazing quality). The white dial is for dress/work, but the black dial is relaxed and for the night...it's great from the office, to dinner with the wife, to a weekend outing, to horseplay with the kids (get it?...horseplay...like polo...well, I'll see myself out...).

I am wearing the rootbeer GMT. You guys did a great video on this, which I watched several times. Love the work. Cheers

I’m currently wearing the Tudor GMT on bracelet. You get a true GMT complication, a beautiful brushed bracelet with side polishing and a 70 hour power reserve for under $5000. It’s one of the best values in watch making.

From your list, I would pick the Zenith Chronomaster. The panda dial is amazing and their history of making movements for Rolex trumps the similarities. I love it!

This is my all time favourite intro ! 😂 I love the recent vibes guys!!

I am wearing the omega speedmaster, 9 years old and still goin strong. Would love to have the zenith chronomaster sport. Its a beauty.

Currently wearing a Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur but am awaiting order of JLC power reserve blue dial.

Got a 126660 Deepsea Sea-dweller with D-blue dial (James Cameron) on my wrist right now and can’t think of a better reason I’m wearing it other than that I got it just last year and have been wearing it 24/7 since. I use the timing bezel every day and often admire the distortion in the 5.5mm thick domed crystal. As for this year, I am looking forward to the just-announced SLGA009, the white birch with 5-day power reserve spring drive movement (the same one in the SLGA007).

I'm wearing the IWC Big Pilot 43, ordered the bracelet version with the extra leather straps, got the watch but the deployant buckle has yet to arrive. GS Spring Drive SLGA009 would be a nice addition to the collection.

Wearing a white gold Lange 1 Timezone with black dial on a brown strap. Black dial ALS with a great complication that you can wear with jeans, which is hard to do on a dress watch. LOVE the Zenith Chronomaster Sport! Definitely adding the white dial to my collection. Keep the great content coming.

That Bulgari is absolutely fabulous!!! I love it!

[RYE]

wearing a 36mm blue dial DJ. I have been eyeing the blue dial reverso since release and might just have to pull the trigger on that one. Keep the blue theme going!

I am currently wearing a Tudor Blackbay 58 with the vintage Black dial. I bought this watch in Nov 2021 because I wanted to commemorate this year where I took a risk of starting my own business during the Covid pandemic and thankfully seeing in pay off. Also I was looking for a watch below 5k as it is all I could afford for now. This watch will always remind me of what a year 2021 has been.

For a watch between the 10-20k range, if I could afford it I would get the JLC Ultra Thin Moon SS Blue Dial. This collection just oozes elegance, the symmetry and simplicity of the dial is just timeless. The movement sexy. And I would be brimming over with a sense of achievement knowing that I own a piece by the watchmaker's watchmaker.

Just picked up a Panerai PAM 311 Titanium. It's recognizable form far away. 8 days power reserve so I don't have to worry about it when I'm wearing my JLC Reverso and Cartier Santos during the weekday

[BrittPearceWatches]

I also am wearing a Royal Oak! I’ve got the Jumbo 5402 ST on loan from a friend. And I feel zero inspiration to give it back! 😂🙈🙈

[georgeii]

There are so many gorgeous watches in this price range that I just can't decide. You could have mentioned JLC Polaris, for example, or the Blancpain Bathyscape, etc. etc. Unfortunately, that has always been my biggest problem and I ended up not choosing a watch.

[Pete...NoNotThatOne]

Currently got on my Tissot PRX Powermatic 80. I’m definitely considering a Reverso or Octo Finissimo, but I won’t be laying any money down until I actually get a chance to get them on my wrist.

[patrickelrafih]

Lovely video as always! Noisy intro is easy to look past haha. I am currently wearing the Cartier Santos (grey dial adlc). I love the appeal of the Zenith Chronomaster revival safari! LOVE that dial color.

Cheers

I’m wearing my Girard Perregaux Laureato, 42mm blue dial. My pick of the year without a doubt and would be the watch that I sell my others for would be Vacheron Constantin overseas Everest. This watch is just superb from every angle.

[bgh]

The watch I wore today was a JLC Master Compressor Geographic. It gets a lot of wrist time and I’m a huge JLC fan. Two watches in the $10k+ price range I am seriously considering is the Glashuette-Original PanoMaticLunar or the VC FiftySix Complete Calendar. Still saving my pennies

[randylim]

I’m wearing a vintage Seiko Lord Marvel 5740, as I like the idea that it was one of the first hi-beat movements created after GP.

Of your selection, I would have gotten the GS SLGH005 - matching 36k beat but with an unreal dial.

Seperately, as a fellow Melburnian I really appreciate your representation of us Aussies in the watch space so keep going T+T. 💪
