Great video, enjoyed it. Must say as a keen watch enthusiast, I haven't come across you on you tube before, but great work. Looking forward to the bagel review lol
I somehow knew you were going to the Seiko boutique; that Navigator Timer is sick! I wish I could travel to London to check out all those vintage watches.
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
I own 2 Seiko’s and I’ve had compliments from Air Stewardesses (back when flying was cool) and a military man who thought it was a military issue watch
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.
Since I was 5, I have wanted to visit London to see Big Ben, now I'd love to go to London to explore these incredible watch stores with Elliot. Such amazing timepieces I can discuss for hours with.
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.
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.
Thank you for this armchair visit to London. I enjoyed seeing places and watch shops I probably will never get to in person. That gold Breitling is beautiful and so is your new limited edition Seiko.
Next time are in London you should go to see the John Harrison time pieces that are on display. They are genuinely stunning and the birth point of every watch worn today
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.
It’s so cool that you came to London (I live in the area) to see some WATCHES! My favourite lol. Maybe next time you can snag an AP 😅. There are a few small antique shops aswell that sell more vintage pocket watches and things (I can name them if you like) but yeah maybe you could check those out one day!! Love your videos! ❤
I love watches, I have a lot of them, including 2 Rolex and a panerai. The windows you showed were amazing. My birth year watch is a Seiko Pogue but it’s nothing like that quality of Rolex.
I have -15% knowledge about watches but i always love to see the hunt & appriciation of collectables and someone who has true passion for something 🥰 Been following the retro future for a good few years now with allot of love and can't wait what the future of the channels are going to bring!👌 Never stop doing what you love to do elliot!🫶
I been watching your nintendo gamevoy videos and belive you mention seiko watches on them a few time which inspired me to purchase two vintage seiko watches
Nice watches but I prefer my smart watch,in it's own way it's amazing,it contains millions of transistors and keeps perfect time plus it can do so many things apart from the time.
Did you check out any of the watches in the display case at the main entrance on the right side as you walk in that time you were in TradeIt! looking for the gaming stuff?
I was recently in Tokyo for work. Visited the Seiko museum, then they flagship store in Ginza. Who should I meet there looking at the GS, but Nicholas Cage! Spoke to him for a few mins about watches. Lovely guy.
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
So...Game n Watch? Unprecedented.
Gaming Watch* @@AdamKlein77
It was so lovely meeting you!!! Thanks again for stopping for a picture and a chat! You are a amazing human!! ❤❤❤
Was lovely to meet you also!

What a delightfully produced video!
Jack!😮
Vintage Rolex for £1000 pound??? hmmm maybe a bezel 😂
Came for the watches, stayed for the urinals.
That Seiko is a winner.
You can feel the enthusiasm, the passion and the love for watches through youtube.
Great video, enjoyed it. Must say as a keen watch enthusiast, I haven't come across you on you tube before, but great work. Looking forward to the bagel review lol
Oh my days Eliot….You’ve just awakened a new expensive hobby for me to binge on for years and years to come…
I somehow knew you were going to the Seiko boutique; that Navigator Timer is sick! I wish I could travel to London to check out all those vintage watches.
Tax evasion😂😂😂
I’m loving this watch content! Also, the cinematography exhibited in this video is beyond fantastic!
I love watching watches!

Having a friend like David is like having a unicorn for a friend. There just aren't that many of them...
Thanks man! I try 🙌🏻
that bagel shop is actually fire
Im so happy to see someone who loves and appreciates Seiko just as much as me.
This is by far the best video you've ever made. Well done!
Great video, Elliot. Earned a sub! You captured some really great shots and it makes me want to visit London more than ever!
Loved this :) Keep the watch videos coming!
Since I was 5, I have wanted to visit London to see Big Ben, now I'd love to go to London to explore these incredible watch stores with Elliot. Such amazing timepieces I can discuss for hours with.
Does your friend David have a repair shop/link?
Beautiful cinematography. Subscribed!
Great video! London is my favorite city in the world, you definitely visited some spots I want to hit next time I am there!
Inspiring, thanks. I can recommend the large format book „Vintage Rolex“ by the vintage Watch Company. Always great to look through.

As a watch enthusiast this is a brilliant video. I one hundred percent need to go here!
Elliot, I adore this video and your passion for watches. Would absolutely LOVE to see more of this content!!

I have no idea about watches but your enthusiasm for them made for a great video.
Never took Harry Potter for a luxury watch guy

Very informative, love my Willard.

Hey, great video. Does your friend David have a website or anything to get in touch for servicing/selling watches?
Tax evasion got me
Exceptional video. Very, very enjoyable. Thank you very much.

'What's this massive queue for?'
'Bagels.'
'Are they good bagels?'
:
Those shots of your watch are excellent
“The castles and the tax evasion” hahaha
This video is absolutely amazing keep up the good work!
Great video Elliot. I said the same thing about those exact urinals when I was there!
love the watch videos keep it up
I’m glad you like them! :)
Busker with a card reader…….I’ve seen it all now!!😂

I wanna visit japan one day to look at watches there!! Super cool video. I love seeing these watch hunting videos
Especially to look at vintage Grand Seikos though
Really glad you enjoyed!
You’ve started my addiction to watches💯
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.

Love the macro shots!
Nice watch dude. Very cool. Can’t wait to see you service it in 5-7 years.
It’s so cool that you came to London (I live in the area) to see some WATCHES! My favourite lol. Maybe next time you can snag an AP 😅. There are a few small antique shops aswell that sell more vintage pocket watches and things (I can name them if you like) but yeah maybe you could check those out one day!! Love your videos! ❤
Love visiting Burlington Arcade when I’m in London.
Love the watch content. Would you ever do more videos fixing up broken watches from eBay?
Hey bro do you know what that songs called at 29secs into it
awesome!!! just saw some of these watches at wristova as well, they have an amazing collection of super clones!!
6:15 yeah, you can skip that one.
Definitely some stunning watches in this video, and the seiko what a great piece.
I remember several Sendico unboxing videos with you stating you'd do videos on all of it. Well? We're waiting!
Let me say this with all seriousness. I. LOVE. THE. WATCH. CONTENT.
Just keep an eye on that quality control at Seiko. Also something you may like is IWC, Bremont watches, and Doxa.
I love watches, I have a lot of them, including 2 Rolex and a panerai. The windows you showed were amazing. My birth year watch is a Seiko Pogue but it’s nothing like that quality of Rolex.

Love this video
Thank you
You’re most welcome :)
Loving the watch videos
Salt beef bagels!!
You need to go in there. Epic!!!
i like this video so i liked
Thank you!
I like this comment so I liked
People who shop at the Burlington arcade are millionaires or they've just robbed a bank..by the way love your Seiko
I'm going to be honest, I have no interest in watches. I just watched this for the london footage 😂
Please don’t be fooled. London is a shithole
Travel, food and video games, exactly.
Love your style mate
That 1994 datejust your mate David is selling is beautiful.
I regret selling it to be honest! The jubilee dial is amazing
Great Video, I need to get myself down there. I’m looking for a 1978 GMT Master 1675.
More of this please
Nice watches but I prefer my smart watch,in it's own way it's amazing,it contains millions of transistors and keeps perfect time plus it can do so many things apart from the time.
Did you check out any of the watches in the display case at the main entrance on the right side as you walk in that time you were in TradeIt! looking for the gaming stuff?
That Seiko looks like the watches at my local Wal-Mart
I use to go and get Bagels from Brick Land back in 80's, they use cost about 25p
Elliott more Rolex please - Batman Submariner etc thanks
Nice watches there on that street.
I used to go to Hatton on my lunch break….. it’s just awesome
I see in the video you visited Catier boutique, did you see what is the price of Catier tank quatz MD size?
Of the castles and the tax evasion. LoL. I would actually like to hear about tax evasion.
Out of curiosity: Are you experimenting turning your personal channel into a watch channel?
Just remember Shikoku just like Rolex make everything in house
Liking this video because I want that bagel review
For 3000 likes u better go see the guitarist ripping, instead of the bagel shop.
Why when you mentioned the cool urinals, Old Gregg popped into my head😂
Such a cool video
I was recently in Tokyo for work. Visited the Seiko museum, then they flagship store in Ginza. Who should I meet there looking at the GS, but Nicholas Cage! Spoke to him for a few mins about watches. Lovely guy.
Love brick lane gables omg
the question should be why not buying the original release
I would absolutely LOVE to got London one day! :)
