James I started really watching, watch channels in 2023. I’ve been very selective and only followed a couple good ones then came across your channel. I started following you because I can “feel” your passion for watches, your passionfor them. It’s not just another channel trying to push watches sent to you for free. I know that happens at times but I feel you have a true objectivity with those as well. So thank you!
I agree I stopped watching some channels when I felt they started pushing products or treating RUclips like a job (click bait titles, too many free watches) or reviewing things they don't actually get their hands on, or trying to stir up drama with contentious content ... I love James enthusiasm for what he does and the awesome range of watches he collects.
Hey James! Great that you are still motivated to make those videos! I have been through a very rough few years, working in healthcare during the pandemic and now a looming divorce, but your channel has helped me to be entertained and get some distraction which has been very valuable to me. So thank you and please keep going!
I started collecting in 2007 then liquidated my collection (mostly vintage) in 2013 when kids came along. I started collecting again in 2023 on a much reduced budget then started watching RUclips videos alongside being on dedicated forums mid-24. I subscribe to 7 watch related channels including yours. I wish a HNY to you James and look forward to sharing with you your journey in 25.
It's been fun watching your progress this year, you're certainly buying some great watches and making interesting videos. Thanks for sharing it with us 👍
Thanks for sharing and thanks for a year of great content! I also started collecting watches a little over two years ago to help with my mental health. And it has genuinely helped. That’s why I only leave positive comments no matter what people say to me. Thanks and Happy New Year to everyone!
WatchingJames… the kinda guy I watch the full ads for 😉 well done on a fantastic 2024 for you and your channel, despite the challenges, you’ve achieved so much. Bring on 2025! The Montblanc and vintage Rado are amazing watches.
That Mont Blanc (which is just stunning), vintage Rado and the Hroudland Turbine (which was the first review i saw on it) really stood out to me this year on your channel. Thanks for the great varied content and i'll keep watching.
You've certainly gained some superb watches this year and even better your channel has grown, which is great to see and share with your journey. Really like the style of your channel, not just reveiews on new watches but your personal collecting and collection, makes for a far it more interesting. Personally its been an up and down year for me too, but I've added up some choice watches including one of my attainable grails, a longines ultrachron, which is awesome. Thanks James for your content this year (wearing my Ascent today, enjoying it immensely ) but no more shots of your Rado please, its too damn pretty and it's making me want one soo bad😅. Wishing you all the best for 2025.
Great video James, I really like your honesty and perspective on your motivation. I have really enjoyed watching your channel in 2024 and look forward to 2025, Happy New Year and all the best mate, keep up the great work :)
James, I really like you the way you cured the itch to buy more watches.. start a youtube channel -:) and buy even more :)) - Thanks for great videos and those nice watches...
