Head to https://squarespace.com/brittpearce to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code BRITTPEARCE Are luxury watch upgrades actually worth the money? From the Tudor Black Bay to the Rolex Submariner, Longines DolceVita to Cartier Tank, and Grand Seiko quartz to automatic, a more expensive watch doesn’t always mean a better ownership experience. In this video, I compare some tempting watch upgrades and ask what the extra money really buys: better finishing, greater comfort, a more interesting movement—or simply a different name on the dial? The comparisons include: - Tudor Black Bay Monochrome vs Rolex Submariner - Longines Spirit vs IWC Mark XX - Grand Seiko SBGX261 quartz vs SBGR253 automatic - Longines DolceVita vs Cartier Tank Must - Stainless steel vs precious-metal watches - Older Rolex Submariner references vs their newer replacements Some upgrades absolutely earn their price. Others could mean spending thousands to replace a watch you already love, without improving the things that matter to you. Whether you’re buying your first luxury watch, considering a trade-in, or planning the next addition to your watch collection, here’s how I’d separate a worthwhile upgrade from an expensive distraction. You don’t have to graduate from a watch you enjoy. What watch have you upgraded from—and was the replacement worth the extra money? Especially if you went back to the original, I want to hear your story in the comments. Subscribe for watch re
