The 36mm PARMIGIANI FLEURIER TORIC MEMORY TIME in yellow gold is certainly a very beautiful dress watch from the 1990s. As for Chopard, the recent no date versions of the L.U.C. 1860 will also age very well. I consider the Revolution edition to be an almost perfect watch with its great size and proportions, superb dial colour, a cool material for the case, and a superb micro-rotor movement. I couldn't ask for more.

Thank you for the nice video! I agree with your assessment. I hope you will curate more of these watches in the below 15k€ range in your shop, which makes them accessible for my budget . I really appreciate your detailed knowledge. I would also to get your view towards Piaget.

I hope that UG come back great again..🤞 For me an underrated number 10 is Movado: the great M90 or 95 caliber in the Borgel case or in the Sub-sea or Super Sub-sea version.

I'd like to mention all the iterations of the "skinny" IWC Ingenieur SL in 34mm (from 1983 to 2001): timeless Genta design in a much less "in your face" execution.
Sporty yet elegant, extremely fascinating technical solutions, very small production numbers.

completely agree with you regarding Breguet and Daniel Roth. Brought Breguet back to its glory and has been a legend among the early independent watch movement. The best of all things in a brand - history, innovation, artisanal, and yet still evolving to meet modern tastes. Could be a mono-brand collector in Breguet.

I was recently the under-bidder at a Christie's auction on an AP 5442 skeleton and it's crazy to me that you can still get these under $20K US! Grail level.

Great selection, thanks. Very much appealed by the Omega meister constellation steal version you are presenting. Never seen one on that bracelet. Is there a reference at your hand? 11:32

Eterna, especially those with the OEM Gay Freres bracelets.

Thanks for another excellent and informative canter through a wide range of interesting watches. I agree entirely with your inclusion of the Omega Constellation from the 1960s through early 1970s....wearable and beautifully made with such a broad range of stainless steel through to previous metal options - something for everyone!!

Another excellent & classy video 👌👍

Couldn't choose one, hence my two options I have for place 10.
1st Blancpain Villeret 5495. And even more modern collection (even some more modern pieces like ref: 6025 3442B or 6653q-3642-55b). Beautiful pieces.
2nd IWC Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar ref 3750. Goody in all aspects. Love the brand, love the watch.

Greetings, Jasper -- I recently acquired an original 1955 Vacheron Constantin 6087. Yellow gold, Roman numerals, tachymeter scale. Excellent original condition; one of only 28 YG pieces. The dial, while in great shape, does exhibit some minor aging. I'm curious what your thoughts are about VC's restoration service. It would be nice if the dial could be made 'perfect', but I wonder if that would impact its value.
Only recently discovered your channel. Very impressive and informative. Thanks, Roger

I am very curious about what you think of a 90's VC Overseas?

[AnthonyOrysyuk]

What about the forgoten brother of Nautilus PP Neptune? It has unique design and an impressive range of complications, all at a price point that feels remarkably undervalued

[johnnyarsenault]

What’s come to my mind: Vintage Ebel Mechanical Chronograph (1911 Discovery) with either an ETA (COSC)or a Zenith (they were supplying Rolex at the time) movement. Superb quality with diver cases, Integrated bracelet. 👌❤️👍 Recent administration have finally decided to go towards men high grade watches(instead of women fashion watches which were mainly quartz watches)make the nicest mechanical world timer with an incredible beautiful dial, you just have to see.

[erwinvanderkurk]

How about FP Journe? I know there is a price tag on those, but i do feel they are under valued. my personal favorite is the chronometre resonance, especially the ones with a brass dial.

[JeanLouisFrancois-pd]

great video for me also the universal geneve space compax

Agree with all your picks. (Well, maybe Rolex Explorer underrated amongst the overrated, if that makes any sense). JLC, reverso yes, but I think even more-so their other watches, complications, triple calendars, etc. sometimes even precious metal ones for under 10k. Vintage Zenith chronographs, with all the hype Daytonas are getting, and even vintage speedmasters, I think vintage Zenith chronographs are overlooked; especially with the role they play in the development of the automatic chronograph movement. Great video!

[heljestrand]

Patek 5134? I’d like one and it seems “unloved”.

#10 Universal Geneve White Shadow - Gerald Genta designed with a Microrotor Movement for under 1k€ if you are lucky. There is nothing that even comes close.
