Saeco SM7683/10 Xelsis: Coffee machine with Philips quality

The Dutch technology producer Philips is known for its high-quality household products that promise long durability. Perfect conditions for delicious coffee and especially long enjoyment of the product. At least in theory. We take a close look at the coffee machine for you and tell you everything about the pros and cons of the machine, such as, can you remove the brew group? What’s the milk frother like? Can you change the grind of the beans? If these are questions that interest you, then read on and learn everything you need to know about the Saeco fully automatic machine.

Test: Fresh espresso without much effort

Of course we can tell you a lot about the machine and its features, but nothing beats seeing what the model has to offer. For this reason, we have picked out a small insight into all the functions and the live application. Here you can learn about all the finer details and see the brewing results for yourself:

Advantages and disadvantages: 15 aromatic coffee specialities at the touch of a button

The first thing you do when you get up in the morning is go to the coffee machine? Especially then it’s worth spending a little more money on a high-quality model. Even in the office, an exquisite coffee machine ensures a generally good mood, after all, coffee not only helps us get up and start the day well, but also brings new motivation for a long day and, above all, it brings people together. A short coffee break and a brief conversation while the drink goes through? These are the little pleasures in the office routine. We tell you why the Saeco machine is perfect for this.

Advantages: Quiet machine with external milk container

Nobody wants to wait a long time for their hot coffee. Especially in the morning, the half-sleep is quickly replaced by impatience and a bad mood if you have to wait too long for your coffee. If drinking the essence of life is then also held up by choosing the perfect amount of water and coffee strength, it can quickly become messy.

How does Saeco prevent this? Up to six coffee profiles can be created and stored in the machine. This way you can get your personal coffee very quickly, without any fuss. And you don’t have to worry about sour milk in the machine. The separate milk container and milk wand make it possible for you to easily store the remaining milk in the fridge and keep it fresh.

Nobody likes to clean their coffee machine. This problem rarely occurs with the Saeco SM7683/10 Xelsis, because the machine actually cleans itself. Apart from a few minor maintenance tasks, which we will tell you more about below.

Before that, we have briefly summarized all the advantages for you:

• External milk container
• 12-stage ceramic grinder
• Independent cleaning

Disadvantages: small cleaning tasks and filters

Whether a coffee machine can be universally described as the perfect machine is difficult, after all, every user has different demands on the machine. For this reason, we would like to briefly list the things that we believe could be disadvantages.

For example, the coffee temperature is fixed at about 75°C for drinks without milk and 60°C for drinks with milk. So if you expect particularly hot coffee, you might be disappointed with the coffee from the Saeco model. There is no possibility to regulate the temperature. However, it should be said that coffee is generally not brewed with boiling water. The settings of the machine accordingly serve to guarantee a perfect coffee result.

And what are the smaller tasks we were talking about? These are regular tasks for some coffee machines, and the Saeco SM7683/10 Xelsis is not spared from them either. The advantage of the removable brewing group is that you no longer need experts to maintain the machine, but can simply make sure that limescale and deposits are removed yourself. The disadvantage of this, however, is that there has to be someone who regularly takes care of the maintenance. Re-oiling and cleaning the brew group, as well as changing the filter and rinsing the milk wand must sometimes be done more, sometimes less regularly, depending on the intensity of use.

The disadvantages at a glance:

• Regular re-oiling
• Milk wand must be cleaned
• Regular filter change required
• Fixed coffee temperature

Comparison: Is the machine worth its price?

With over 1000 €, the Saeco SM7683/10 Xelsis is in the upper price segment for coffee machines, but of course you enjoy many advantages that you don’t get with cheaper machines. For example, creating user profiles really makes life a lot easier. But already the twelve different coffee specialties that are in the default on the machine are great and can be adapted to personal needs.

The touchscreen is large, clear and super responsive. The selection works quickly and easily and hardly leaves any reason for complaint. Due to the size of the screen, typos are not made that quickly, but unfortunately this cannot be completely avoided. For this reason, it may be worthwhile for some to resort to a fully automatic coffee machine without touch.

Do you still remember the coffee selection? While the Saeco machine offers twelve different coffee specialties, machines in the mid-price segment often only have a choice of the standard types: espresso, cappuccino, café crema and that’s only provided the machine comes with a milk or steam nozzle. If this is not the case, the selection is limited to coffee specialties without milk.

One way to still enjoy latte would be to purchase additional equipment to froth milk, but that’s exactly what they try to avoid when selling a fully automatic machine: Too many machines and kitchen appliances cluttering up valuable counter space.

Ceramic vs. stainless steel: Which grinder is better?

The last topic that we want to throw into the comparison with other machines is the grinder. The Saeco machine has a ceramic grinder with 12 steps. A twelve-stage grinder is in itself already a very high value for fully automatic coffee machines. Often you only get 7-8 stages to choose between. Also, of course, the question of standard show-off: ceramic vs. stainless steel. Many say that ceramic stays sharp longer, however, there are different opinions and experiences on this. Often the choice is a matter of personal preference.

Conclusion: Buy a Saeco coffee machine and enjoy perfect cappuccino?

So, what do we at FIV Magazine say? Buy recommendation or not? We were actually convinced by the Saeco SM7683/10 Xelsis. The coffee is easy to prepare, tastes good and the machine works quickly, so there is no congestion in the kitchen and all caffeine enthusiasts get their money’s worth.

But not only our opinion counts, but also what others say about the product provides information about the advantages and disadvantages of the machine. For this reason, we have looked around a bit on the Internet to analyze the opinions of other customers about the fully automatic machine.

Large, simple and fast – This inspires the users

In almost all areas, the fully automatic coffee machine receives top marks from users, whether it’s taste, appearance or noise level, the Saeco machine convinces and provides you with the best coffee enjoyment.

The design: Sporty-elegant watch for the diver

The designer Gérald Genta developed the sporty-elegant design, which was presented to the public in 1976. The porthole design of the Nautilus did not match the design of the other watches in the company at all. Therefore, most of the regular customers could not do anything with the sports watch. The previous focus was on the classic gold timepiece. The combination of polished and satinized components with the integrated stainless steel bracelet became the “enfant terrible” of the collection.

The idea for the name comes from the famous novel “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” by Jules Verne. The Nautilus porthole optics have a comparable oval shape to the portholes of Captain Nemo’s submarine Nautilus. But not only an optical comparison can be drawn between these two: The flanks are used to screw the bezel to the case. The unique construction enables the watch to be water-resistant to a depth of 120 meters and to withstand very high pressure. This makes the watch suitable not only for sports on land, but also for diving.

Breitling: More than just a watch

Watch lovers around the world wait every year for the novelties of luxury brands like Breitling. But what is actually behind the hype for luxury watches like Rolex, Breitling and Patek Philippe? Why are these watches so sought after? Jewelry and accessory – watches are not just beautiful to look at. They are much more known as a status symbol. Everyone knows about the value of such an expensive and noble watch. But not only for demonstration purposes serves such a luxury watch, but it is just as a good investment. The rarer the watch, the higher its value.

GMT, Sea Wolf and Chronograph

The Avenger model of Breitling watches is a true superlative watch. With its unparalleled reliability and the extremely robust and shock-resistant case, it is a watch like no other. If you want a watch that not only looks good, but is also functional and easy to read the time, this is the watch for you.

Until just a year ago, the Avenger had to contend with direct competition in its own ranks: the Colt. Breitling’s Colt bore an enormous resemblance to the Avenger model, and that unsettled many of the luxury watchmaker’s customers. In 2020, the competition disappeared as production of the Colt was discontinued.

Breitlings luxury watches can also be admired on the wrists of famous stars. Actor Eric Flynn embodied the role of Major Paul Croft in the series “The Avengers”. The name of the model was given to the watch in 1979.

There’s more to the Avenger than just good looks: With its enormous water resistance and chronograph pushers, it also served to control flight and diving times. Made of the finest titanium or stainless steel – the Breitling Avenger is a real insider’s tip. In addition to the normal sized models with 43mm and 45mm diameter, three models with 48mm diameter are also available, for everyone who likes to have more on the wrist.

The Breitling Avenger is available in 16 different models: such as Super Avenger Chronograph, Avenger Automatic GMT or Avenger Automatic Seawolf.

Rolex Submariner: Prices, waiting times and model

Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of the luxury company Rolex, launched the first Rolex Submariner in 1953. The watch was designed as a diver’s watch for sportsmen and has since become a watch icon. Elegance and sportiness: that is the hallmark of the Submariner. The first model of the Rolex Submariner 16613 is characterized by a blue dial and silver case. Meanwhile the Submariner has become one of the most popular and well-known models of the watch company. In 2020 several new models of the watch were released, including Submariner with gold, black, green and silver accents. Compared to other Rolex watches, the Submariner is among the cheaper models, with a current value starting at around 7,350 Euros. The current waiting period for the Rolex Submariner is 3-5 years.

The long waiting time of the new Rolex model is a test of patience for many watch lovers. But why can many models only wait a long time? In previous years, waiting lists were indeed created due to production-related delays. Today, manufacturers control their production data very carefully, especially for exclusivity purposes, which limits the models that are in high demand. You as a buyer will benefit from this, because the fewer watches there are on the market, the higher the value of each model and the higher its resale value.

The bezel is for the diver who can read the exact dive time on the engraved 60-minute graduation and control the decompression time. Also, the Cerachrom ceramic dial of the bezel is very scratch resistant. To ensure that the watch is easy to read even in low-light environments, the capsule has been filled with luminous material from the triangle of the zero mark.

The legendary Daytona auction

This auction has changed the world of luxury watches. Over $17 million dollars for a Rolex model.

Paul Newman? Actor, race car driver, Rolex fan

Paul Newman occurs more frequently in the history of Rolex. Actually Newman was an Oscar-winning Hollywood actor. He starred in movies like: “The Cat on the Hot Tin Roof”, “Sharks of the Big City” and “The Sting”. In 1925 Newman was born in Ohio and already in his childhood he gained first acting experiences. The first Oscar nomination was for “The Cat on the Hot Tin Roof” (1958). In the film Newman rejects Liz Taylor and prefers to take the bottle. Privately he found his luck in 1958 with Joanne Woodward. It was his second marriage. It was also she who gave him his world-famous Cosmograph Daytona. More precisely in 1972, when the actor began his career as a racing driver.

Daytona Reference 6265 Unicorn – $5.9 mln.

• Model: Daytona Reference 6265 Unicorn
• Sold for: $5,900,000

With $5,900,000, the Daytona Reference 6265 Unicorn is in second place in the Rolex ranking. The Daytona Reference 6265, manufactured in 1970, was nicknamed “Unicorn”. It was the only 18K white gold model available at the time.

Daytonas are usually made of stainless steel. Stainless steel has extremely many advantages. It is corrosion-resistant, temperature-resistant, hygienic, low-maintenance and above all durable.

The uniqueness of the watch needed the renowned collector John Goldberger to put the model 2018 up for auction. The equally renowned Phillips in Geneva was chosen as the auction house.

Goldberger donated the proceeds to charity.

Facts of the watch

• The only 18K white gold watch in its day
• Estimate (before auction) was $3 million
• selling price + $2.9 million (total $5.9 million)

Bao Dai Reference 6062 – $5 million

• Model: Bao Dai Reference 6062
• Sold for: $5,060,427

$5,060,427 for 3rd place, the Bao Dai Reference 6062, auctioned at Phillips in Geneva in 2018. What makes this watch so special, the Bao Dai was privately owned by the last emperor of the Vietnamese Nguyen Dynasty. Because it was the rarest of the Rolex model 6062, it was added to the list of the most expensive Rolex watches.

Rolex unique specimen in private ownership of the emperor

Of course, the emperor and the clock did not simply come together. In 1954, the Nguyen Emperor asked a Rolex dealer for the rarest available Rolex. The dealer recommended him the watch made of 18K yellow gold. Not only 18K yellow gold, the watch also has diamond elements and a complex triple calendar with moon phase display.

The emperor kept his Rolex until his death (1977). In 2002, the watch changed hands once, even then for a high price of $235K. Now there was another change of ownership, like all expensive Rolex models, the Bao Dai Reference 6062 was put up for auction at Phillips in Geneva with a result of $5,060,427.

Of the currently 3 known models the Bao Dai is also something special in detail. Its diamond elements mark the even hours. In all other models the diamonds lie on odd hours. This diamond offset in turn resulted in the famous Rolex crown not being placed at 12 o’clock as usual, but below the diamonds. Another, absolutely unique in the Rolex world.

Aurel Bacs, Senior Consultant of Phillips in cooperation with Bacs & Russo, called the Bao Dai Reference 6062 “a work of art”. It is part of what makes up the culture of the 20th century, a truly unique work of art. Bacs continues: “This is what we, humanity, want to hold on to together. It would make perfect sense to place it in a museum that reunites the best of the best of the 20th century. It really is a landmark of 20th century industrial design,” says Aurel Bacs, senior consultant at Phillips.

Facts of the watch: Bao Dai

• Clock of the Vietnamese Nguyen Emperor
• Kaiser kept his Rolex until his death (1977)
• Rarest model of the 6062 series (3 pieces left)
• 18K yellow gold
• Diamond elements on the full hours (unique)
• Rolex crown offset, so that diamonds have room (unique)

• Model: “The Neanderthal” Daytona Reference 6240
• Sold for: Almost $3.01 million

$3.01 million for the Daytona Reference 6240, another record for Rolex watches. “The Neanderthal” achieved such a high purchase price primarily because of its oversized subdials and unusual color combination. Made in 1966, this watch with a “Pre-Paul Newman” dial (hence the nickname “Neanderthal”) is the first cosmograph with screw-down chronograph pushers, a detail that improved the water-resistance of the timepiece.

The Neanderthal” was auctioned in Geneva in May 2017.
This dial shows a color scheme that we have never seen before in the production of Rolex watches. This Rolex model represents for collectors a highly interesting and also historically significant object of desire. The stainless steel chronograph wristwatch has a unique black and white dial in “Pre-Paul Newman” style, as described above. With oversized registers and black outer second markers on a white track, a truly unique piece.

In addition, the proportions are just as individual and unique thanks to the oversized subdials that almost touch the outer white seconds track. Cosmographs with oversized subdials are now known as “Big Eye”. This layout is truly unlike anything the market has seen before.

• Color scheme that’s never been processed before
• For collectors interesting and historically relevant
• Rare look: “Pre-Paul Newman” dial

• Model: Antimagnetique Reference 4113
• Sold for: $2,466 million

Rolex has been an active sponsor of racing events since the 1930s and has donated the Antimagnetique watch to a select group of racing teams and drivers. A real rarity, because only 12 pieces of this watch were produced. Today 8 pieces still exist.  Since this watch was never for public sale, it was very much sought after by collectors and was sold in 2016 for almost 2.5 million dollars.

Like the absolute highlight model, Paul Newman’s Cosmograph Daytona for $17.7 million, this model is especially popular with motorsport fans. This $17.7 million piece is the most expensive Rolex ever sold.

A few details about the watch: The 44mm dial of this 1942 watch is set in stainless steel. You’ll find sublime Arabic rose gold with a subtle patina. The bezel (outline of the dial) is highly polished and forms a brilliant contrast to the case.

• Exclusively for selected racing teams and drivers
• Only 12 pieces were produced
• Model: “Oyster Sotto” Cosmograph Daytona Reference 6263
• Sold for: $2,036 million

The “Oyster Sotto” is a real highlight. Shine, brilliance and still the typical, robust Rolex style. This stainless steel chronograph from 1969, with its Paul Newman dial in chocolate brown, tropical for Rolex conditions, and its red minute display. A real rarity.

The “Oyster Sotto” clearly exceeded the estimate at the auction by Phillips in May 2016. At the end of the auction, the seller brought in $2.036 million, including auction fees.

Stainless Steel Reference 6062 – $2 million

• Model: Stainless Steel Reference 6062
• Sold for: $1,988,000

The Stainless Steel is from the same model series (Reference 6062) as the famous “Bao Dai” and is ranked second in the Rolex ranking. 1 of 3 models, which also show the moon phase, a relatively expensive mechanism, which is rather reserved for designer watches.

Experts estimate that the stainless steel was only produced in 200 to 300, so the hybrid of waterproof Oyster case and calendar moon phases needed $1,988,000 at the last auction.

• Model: Marlon Brando’s GMT Master
• Sold for: $1,952,000

This 1972 GMT Master (Reference 1675), worn by Marlon Brando during the shooting of “Apocalypse Now”, was finally sold for $1.952 million after a 15-minute bidding war in which the watch far exceeded its original estimate.

The GMT Master with a black dial and black strap is also remarkable because Brando removed the bezel (the outline of the dial) at the request of director Francis Ford Coppola so that its glitter would not draw too much attention to the watch during Colonel Kurtz’s scenes. Brando also carved his name on the back of the watch.

• Model from the year 1972
• worn by Hollywood legend Marlon Brando during the shooting of “Apocalypse Now”
• Marlon Brando carved his name on the back
• bezel removed for more sparkle in the scenes

The oversized stainless steel chronograph from 1942 is 1 of only 12 pieces in the 4113 series.
