One watch collection competition. All under 400. Episode 10. Sweet 16. 5/8.
Gerald Genta is a big name in the world of watch design. Today we meet 2 contestants that were inspired by the designs of the GOAT. Today is the perfect time for tricks and treats. Our first treat is in the red corner — Tissot PRX quartz. It just had to be here. Hyped for a reason, one of the biggest watch releases of the last year.

Oh, it is a tough battle for our underdog contestant. However its price is as sweet as Halloween candies. God tier brand (according to Nico Leonard) Casio Edifice EFR-S108D-1A.

Relatively inexperienced and humble watch wearer. Not much of a collector. Enjoy the design, engineering and history. 6.7 inch (17 cm) wrist. Love to look for hidden gems, especially in affordable pri...

PRX classic 100%
I like neither
Casio Edifice for sure
Switch to the PRX 35mm and we're good.
The results are closed for now. Tissot PRX goes forward, Casio Edifice is eliminated.
