Thanks for great video Bill, I would definitely go with the daily duo, both are great and I think they would make the perfect 2 watch collection.

Thanks for the comparisons, Bill, hoping I'll achieve my goal for a green dragon Streamliner for my birthday next year.

1. Rolex: Form + Function, it really is almost the perfect sports watch (I don't own either).
2. Laurent Ferrier: I've been a big fan of this brand, very modern appeal but still very elegant (still don't own either watch, sadly)
3. Moser Streamliner: hands down the H. Moser. I love this integrated bracelet, the dial is amazing, the movement top notch. I might prefer the center seconds version better. (Looking at buying a streamliner if I can find it at the right price..
4. Faberge: I'm not inclined to buy either of these, but the Faberge looks VERY interesting and the agengraphe movement is very appealing.
5. Rolex Explorer II: Haha, kidding. For dual time zone I cherish my Explorer II. But given your list, I'd say the Van Cleef - it's so unique, the jumping hours makes legibility so much better, and it has a "cool" factor and elegance that I think the V.C. lacks.

Very fun exercise Bill! I hope you do more of these types of videos.

The Van Cleef is amazing! Great discussion.

Excellent video and really enjoyed it Bill. I love the Rolex because I am a dive desk. The dial in Parmigiani is clean and spacious. Streamliner is pretty with the colour. Massena will be the topic of the conversation when wearing it on the wrist. Thank you again Bill.

Zenith
Laurent Ferrier
Moser — a bracelet I’d actually wear!
Both/neither — two beautiful chronos, but too much going on for me
Van Cleef & Arpels — but I’d like to add a second blue strap to match the blue script on the dial

Thanks, Bill! Cheers…

Hey Bill,
Rolex for underwater visibility. Even though i prefer rubber or plastic straps for water use.
Parmigiani and VC and Arpels even though i love the VC.Chrono would prolly be the Faberge. When the fashion brands get a zinger they usually knock it desd.

[paulzarookian]

Thanks Bill. At WatchTime I tried on a Parmagiani on the bracelet. And I was so impressed. I can see why the cost of these is so significant. Conversely I tried on the Streamliner, expecting to really like it, and I just didn't.

[HRM.H]

Laurent Ferrier just makes such stunning pieces.

I believe the current submariner has a 70hr power reserve as opposed to 48hr. Great video Bill!

1. Sport: Rolex - reasoning looks better
2. Dress: PF Toric - reasoning: hands wind, double barrel, better decoration, also it looks better
3. Daily: HM streamliner - reasoning like the movement better and that dial is gorgeous, also has a cool bracelet
4. Chronograph: Faberage - reasoning just love the design best looking chronograph in my opinion
5. Dual time: Van cleef around arpel - the movement angle the dial is more interesting

[JBernard]

Great stuff, Bill! I love that Moser and ML chrono

[Abns]

Laurent Ferrier watches opt for really thick cases for the movement thickness they have . Micro rotor natural escapement has 4.35mm movement thickness but overall watch come to 11.3mm , Tourbillon Double Hairspring has 5.57mm movement thickness but overall watch becomes a beefy 13.3mm thick . Their watches look stunning and the case designs are good, movement finishing extraordinary but they need to rectify this disproportionate movement to case thickness issue with all their models .

1. Rolex Submariner, the bezel of the Zenith is to edgy
2. Laurent Ferrier, very elegant and the green colour very tasteful
3. Moser Streamliner, fantastic bracelet and movement
4. Faberge, i do not like skeletons ;)
5. Van Cleef & Arpels, i like the inovative dual jumping hours, the Vach dial is too crowded and the bracelet looks so brutal

[Newerasamearea]

Ulyses nardin San Marco gmt has a jumping 2nd timezone (and comes in platinum....underrated gem I reckon)

Another interesting gmt is jlc reverso squadra: a rare sports watch edition of the reverso with am/pm 2nd timezone indicator and brilliant movement.

Hi Bill, can you make a special about Antoine Martin? His Perpetual Calender in 2011 and now his slowbeater (1 Hz) were in the GPHG. You like low-frequency…so: this brand needs a bit of love with 1 Hz or 7.200 so/hr

[regsantotomas]

From your list I would choose:
Rolex Submariner
Parmigiani Fleurier
Chopard LUC
Massena Lab
Vacheron Constantin

The Parmigiani is the only one that I would consider acquiring out of all of them

[Yamayamauchiman]

Sport: Rolex sub (not a fan of rolex really, I just prefer this diver over this particular Zenith)
Dress. Parmigiani, lovely brand.
Daily: L.U.Chopard, because the streamliner is my least favorite Moser. And that price... Oof. I do love some of their other models.
Chronograph: Fabergé. I'm not huge on chronographs either. I prefer the more classic 3 subdial layout aswell, so it's a close call for either.
DTZ: VC, the overseas is one of my favorite watches, though I'm planning to buy the chronograph in the future. Not really into Dual time watches anyway.

[localheroEd]

Hey Bill, after much thought about a great selection all I’ve decided is that categories are not helpful! All the best, Ed

[everyones.shadow]

Rolex (if I can find a respectful dealer), Laurent Ferrier (I liked the old Toric), Moser, Faberge, Van Cleef & Arpels
