    There's only two ways this new hobby can go:
    1. Elliot puts a watch in a Game Boy
    2. Elliot puts a Game Boy in a watch

    for christmas i was very lucky to get the opportunity to choose my first 'nice' watch, went with an omega seamaster diver with the blue face and gold, and the matching strap, its such a lovely watch and costs more than Id ever spend on a watch myself, but i love wearing it out and about rather than keeping it locked up in a safe or away on a shelf
    im not part of the watch hobby or really know anything about watches at all, but its were i am in terms of watches and honestly the idea of making my own with aliexpress parts as you did sounds just as fun to me

    Bumped on your channel before, your newfound fascination with watches, esp. your appreciation for Seiko deserved a sub. Cool fact my mom owns a Cartier piano :) Haven't been to London since 2019, I'll be sure to check these places on my next trip.

    I'm only now getting into watches, and your channel is one of the main parts of that. Still just getting some 'tester' watches - ones that aren't great quality but just to try out different styles on the cheap. I think I'll likely go the more vintage route as I like things with a history and that have stood the test of time.

  • @waynemoore9951
    @waynemoore9951 6 месяцев назад +2

    Hi Elliot, just watched your video which was excellent, I would be a little bit worried about super clones, how could you get these watches authenticated as genuine.

  • @bowerbirdstyle7661

    Seiko still has not re-issued a 6139-6005 Pogue (photo was shown in the book in this video, right watch with the gold dial, chronograph). I have a Dec 1975 as an everyday watch for almost 48 years (original owner). After its last service, it is running +/- 2-4 seconds per day. Still all original. Very nice video. I have to past by the Seiko shop during my next visit to London.

    Seems that collecting wristwatches is like stamp collecting - they are all basically the same but with minor variations. Value depends on the Brand name on the dial. And there are so many....

    I tried to stop looking at watches for hours and gave my collection to my daughter when I left the UK 7 years ago. I only took my rotary Daytona homage to travel with and it's still as reliable as ever and catching a few second glances when I wear it here in Thailand. Love the channel and watches.

    got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on MAMACOO 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.

    Got a Seiko Turtle Save the Ocean (First Edition), Samurai Prospex Black Editions, Speed Timer 41 with the Ice blue dial, Seiko Astron and vintage Grand Quartz high accuracy. Certainly overlooked by the watch snobs IMO. QC issues of chapter rings can be managed if you see the watch first and is not on all watches. PIcked up the Save th Ocean at the Seiko boutique in London, staf were amazing and showed me all the Grand Seiko lines too.
