This is an awesome watch collection. People have a hard time understanding that there are different types of watch collectors/enthusiasts. Most of the pieces that you own are associated with some of the good memories of your life, which makes it priceless.
Keep up growing your collection!
Cheers mate 🍻
Well said.
I think a lot of people think watches are too big simply because the RUclips watch community says they’re too big, without considering how they personally feel. That Christopher ward looks absolutely fine to me.
I guarantee you that a lot of people want to wear bigger watches but feel bad for liking them because of the current watch community.
I love the looks of many watches under 40mm, I can't stand how they look on my wrist though, few watches that are 40mm are OKish depending on case and lug to lug, 41 mm usually is my absolute minimum without a bezel though 42 is better, 42mm with a bezel 43 to 44 is better.
And the sad part is that I love 43mm, and that's a really really rare size nowadays, because guys with 8 inch wrists like me, it even bigger, are trying really hard to believe that 40mm fits all bullshit.
It's like having size6 feet but wear size 12 clown shoes. If you've got big wrist them a big watch is fine
@@user-eq1jv3oo5v Apart from it’s not though - it’s literally a few millimetres difference. I have a thin wrist and have some big watches, and no one has ever said they look stupid/too big for you.
I agree completely. Kind of sick of the trend toward everything becoming smaller and all the trash talking the community does toward anything over 40-42mm. And then companies giving in and making their watches technically worse in terms of capabilities or styling to make them smaller. It's getting harder to find watches in the sizes I like with all the features I want.
One case being tudor. Tudor is trending toward making everything 39mm and smaller, which is fine. The problem in my eyes is that their newer watches are getting the toolless micro adjustment, which is something I love, but it's only available on their newer, and thus, smaller watches. I think they just need a full line refresh so I can get a standard black bay with micro adjustment.
I get people wanting smaller watches. It's fine... buy what you want to buy. My beef is more with the manufacturers I like following trends and seemingly giving up on bigger watches entirely.
No you're wrong, all watches are way too big. FACT
That Seiko Mojito could be the most underrated watch out there. It looks much better in person than in photos.
Yes! Some say it’s the ugly one of the three main ones, maybe I’ve never seen the other two in person. I’ll review that one soon because you really have to see it in good light/on film to appreciate it better.
What an honest down to earth watch collection, like the references to events in your life, what a watch collection should be, well done sir.
I like that it's a varied colourful collection and with 3 watches from quality British makers. I have a blue CW C60 pro diver, 38mm and the quality is way above the price point - a good way to go if you want a "proper" diver. You mention the Selita movement not being great but you will find it in many non Swatch group Swiss brands around the 2-3k price point. Like you I have a slime wrist so prefer smaller watches and I reckon the PRX looks good on you. Don't listen to others who criticise your choices, buy what you like, not what others think you should and enjoy them for what they are.
I owned a mk 2.5 CW C60 Trident with a red bezel and still think about it....What about the Sellita 300 series? Is it any better apart from big thinner/longer power reserve (56 over 42)
Thanks for the kind comments!
Incredible watches. I’m 6’4”, around 250 lbs so when the “big watch trend” was around I was loving it and kind of just thought that’s what watches looked like. Now all the 36 and 39mm watches, even some of the tiny 40-41mm watches like the PRX are deceptively small as they look much larger in pictures or renderings. This collection is a dream man. I love micros, I’d kill for the Zodiac, the CW, and the Underdog which is actually closer to my preferred size than I had assumed.
Looking at your collection, your favorites and your needs, you MUST get a CW C63 Sealander GMT. 39mm, 150m wr, incredible bracelet and overall design.
That is a logical inference from my collection, but I really don't like the explorer-2 vibes wafting off of it! It's objectively a good piece, just not for me.
You have a really nice collection. I absolutely love the Farer. That orange really pops for me. I debated over that super sea wolf myself. I passed on an unworn one for around 950. You might like this one watch, the lume is crazy! Namica Shirahama, the super white is my favorite colorway.
Your mum's choices of watch is actually not bad. They are not "watch enthusiast watches" but they are very function and simple and practical watches.
Yep, they got me thinking of buying a Skagen! That titanium watch with a mesh bracelet looks awesome!
OMG your watch collection is amazing!!!
Hope you enjoy all of them!!
My Vostok Amphibia has become my daily. Put a good bezel on it and it becomes beautiful. Its taken a lot of punishment and the silent bezel is super useful. Quite dressy as well
I have a Komanderski and would love an Amphibia! Cult classic heritage diver for under 100$?? Awesome.
Well this was a fun watch (pun intended). You have a pretty cool collection and a nice down to earth way of presenting. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Still working on presentation
Nice collection. Some very unique watches and it’s nice to see some personality in a SOTC - rather than the usual suspects over and over again.
Given your tastes and lifestyle I’d maybe suggest taking a look at Longines flagship or sector dial - pricey but beautiful. Or affordably you could consider a Lorier - they make some fantastic vintage inspired pieces that would be right up your street - Baltic too.
Hey thanks for the kind comment. I went on the Longines website and looked at what you mentioned and agree that Longines in general matches my style-I love the classic heritage-focused language. I prefer their interpretation to Baltic. Loiter-have you owned one? I haven’t, so I’m only judging by pictures, but some of the case/bracelet finishing looks rough. Maybe that’s asking too much
@@jrsnow94 I have owned a Lorier in past - the finishing was decent for price point - the Crystal is a stunner, but hands perhaps were overly rough around edges. I owned, as many do, quite a few in the sub $1k range until I went for the grander stuff later. I found the Stuff in the $3k+ category underwhelming after a time, I think I’ve realised I just don’t love (or need) an in-house decorated movement - and that is what you are paying for. I’ve settled in the $1-3k range - and am so happy, this really is my sweet spot. Oris, Sinn, Longines, Nomos, Junghans, SLA seiko’s, Hamilton, Chris Ward, Monta.
Good luck building the collection and finding your own sweet spot - we are all different (well we should be anyhow!).
@@drdesign6886 I just started collecting and have mostly inexpensive watches, which seemed pretty expensive at the time. I just got my first high end watch - an IWC portofino. It hasn’t shipped yet, I am dying to get it in my hands. I love the classic look of it. I also would like to get a Rado coupole blue dial.
I have my eye on a few luxury brand watches that I can’t afford right now - the Meistersinger one hand lunascope, Glashütte original PanoMaticLunar green dial, and Arnold and Son’s Perpetual Moon blue dial. Maybe one day.
@@MattL7568 great taste! My only ‘higher’ end luxury watch remaining is an IWC Portofino gifted to me by my father. It’s stunning - but again much of the value comes from the higher end movement, which I probably dont appreciate enough. Reason I kept that one was it’s a special occasion piece, dressy and means something to me sentimentally. I only wear it a few times a year. All the watches you mention are stunning - wish you good fortune in someday owning 1 or 2 of them.
@@drdesign6886 I fell in love with the portofino blue dial when I tried it on at a jewelry store. It seemed like the watch was sparkling it looked so fantastic. It’s great that your portofino is special because of what it means to you. I’m going to look at the other brands you mentioned.
46:02 stunning dial. I like your collection, with lots of variation and style. Gnomon have something in just your style. "Ocean 39 GMT Melon". fifty fathoms style bezel like C65 Aquitaine but in striking color.
Watches Are Memories! Keep going... Best of all, I liked Zodiac, this orange and white dial, I fall in love. Thanks for the review!
I enjoyed your down to earth review. As to dress watches, a Tissot dress watch runs about $300 and you get a real Swiss watch with alot of history and a swiss auto movement.
Outstanding collection mate. You’ve got a very honest everyday persons watch collection, and I love that.
I think a seiko diver would fit in your collection nicely. They’re built tough, and can be the absolute beater you’re looking for. They also won’t break the bank. Hamilton is another brand that would fit in nicely.
Look forward to see what you do next.
Very very very fantastic collection watch friend . And the sekio watch great 👍 looks. Thank you so much.
Nice vid, thanks for sharing your collection and thoughts.
Really enjoyed this my friend. I see so many SOTC videos full of Rolex and hype pieces at various price points and it just feels so ‘cold’ and unoriginal sometimes. It was refreshing to see an enthusiast who buys what he likes and unapologetically enjoys it. It really shows what a varied collection one can achieve without breaking the bank into 4 figures. I also own the presage mojito and adore the dial, an underrated piece for sure. I’d take a look at G-shock, maybe the steel G-2100 Casioak or just the standard square as a beater watch - I’d hate for you to scratch up all those nice steel cases next time you mud wrestle or paintball fight!
Cheers
love the variety and how much thought you put into the type of collection overall you wanted. I wonder if you should look into something vintage. You've got a lot of amazing modern bases covered, maybe time to get precious metal vintage watch like an Omega, IWC, or King or Grand Seiko you could wear just on special occasions.
Saw the prx came here
This will be my first proper watch
Enjoyable video of an interesting collection, thanks for sharing. I have been tempted by the Studio Dog which is an attractive fun watch. I noticed that some of your date wheels were not aligned which would drive me nuts. Mine have to be aligned and on the correct date/day when I wear them.
you can totally rock that zodiac. Great Collection.
love the baby alpinist
*sh* it’s probably my favorite watch.
Gorgeous collection, bro! Love the Skagen watches your mom gifted to you. My mom passed away a few years ago I wish I had a watch from her.
Absolutely LOVE Zodiac watches. Beautiful
You have a very interesting collection and I find the story behind your purchase decisions and how your watches integrate into your collection very cool. Regarding your 'bauhaus needs', I own the Junkers 6050-2 and it is a lovely watch if you like the style. Of course a Max Bill would bring some more heritage to the table. If you want a smaller diver with some nice color options for a reasonable price, I would suggest checking out the Glycine combat sub line, either the 36 or 39 mm case dimensions. The burgundy and brown colorways look very nice in my opinion. Given your color preferences and your small wrist, what I would totally recommend as am amazing every day watch would be the Sinn 556. I have the mother of pearl black dial and it is still fighting for the favorite spot in my collection. I think they released some more colorful options of the 556 either in 2022 or 2021.
Oh man! I’ve heard of the sinn 556. It looks so good. I saw a limited emerald green one on eBay the other day…gotta hold back. Maybe one day! Thanks for the comment!
@@jrsnow94 Oh and for a nice diver, but a bit more expensive than the Glycines, have a look at Squale. They have a pretty cool grey or blue version in a 38mm case.
Finally, an interesting individual collection! Perfection 🤌!
That Seiko Mojito has a very eye catching face, not seen one in the flesh but the dial colour is lovely
Great collection. I’d look at Agelocer, Oupinke and Lobinni watches. Interesting dress watches at reasonable prices. Jowissa has really bright colored dress watches. For higher end watches, I’d look at IWC Schaffhausen and Glashütte watches.
I had to look up many of those recommendations, thanks for broadening my horizons!
Let’s get straight to the point: collecting is nice but you want to be a collector not collecting > my point you have all similar. Keep the the special = like Christopher,zodiac,watermelon,candy and Seiko and max 2 more the rest sell or exchange for upgrade like a Tudor (Tudor will be great for you) or Longines, you can go for Tag Heuer it will change the style the collection, till you ready for omega or Rolex. Kapish
Sad to see when jewlers mess things up on watches that mean a lot to people. But overall an awesome collection you got there.
My first watch was also a seiko5 particularly a SRPE51K1. You cant go wrong with any of the seiko5 models.
The watches I would want to have from your collection - (Studio Underd0g WaterMel0n,Farer RESOLUTE,Christopher Ward C65 Aquitaine Automatic,Tissot PRX (I would want the Powermatic 41mm ver.),Orient Bambino V2). Hopefully some day it will happen. As of right now I don't have a lot of money, but in the future, when my financial situation is stable, I would have these watches, I mentioned from your list. Nice watch collection. :)
Thanks for sharing. I don't see any field or military style. Nice GMT for travel is needed as well.
Nice collection there. You may want to wear the Skagen watches on your mom's birthday & day of passing. I wear my dad's watch on those days as well as the Marine Corps birthday since he was a Marine.
That is a great idea-thanks for the suggestion! Just in time, her birthday is December 26
Best seiko diver would be the marine master 300m SLA 021 / SBDX 023. They're not a cheap seiko but if you only want one seiko diver this is the one to get also made in the grand seiko factory hand assembled and zaratsu polishing basically like a mirror finish with protective covering.
Look at the Squale 300M GMT for a gmt watch, a couple of color options available, every bit as good of quality as a CW, but $825 on long island watch, 40mm too.
Great Rec. thanks! I don't like the submariner-inspired looking one but the ref. with unguarded crown looks great: longislandwatch.com/squale-300-meter-swiss-auto-gmt-dive-watch-ar-sapphire-box-crystal-sub-39gmtv/?_ga=2.123166923.1542559052.1672073967-387716999.1670082593&_gac=1.58436568.1670200600.CjwKCAiAp7GcBhA0EiwA9U0mts_4kBduLjPuSy_qPw8e4z8fEa9MJ4SG7N9QMEJEQLE3MZmfq-nAIRoCto8QAvD_BwE
You're right that 22mm to 16.5mm is too much taper. 4mm is about right i.e. 20mm to 16mm. 22mm to 18mm. Or thereabouts. I came here for the Farer but man 50m of water resistance just isn't enough for me.
Great collection. Perhaps a Monta watch might suit you, Selita movements with 150 meters WR. Great bracelets with micro adjustment. No date and date versions, gmt, and divers styles are available in multiple colors with 38.5 mm cases . Good luck 👍 ♥️
You read my mind!
Nice SOTC and I find your voice very enjoyable to listen to!
I hope one day Tissot make PRX 37-38mm. So much people asking for it. Me too!
i love your stories there brother. The CW doesnt look too big because its got a thick bezel resulting in a small dial. Yes if it was a 43mm bauhaus but its not. Thanx
Great point. Still learning about the tricks design plays when it comes to watches-what about the lug width (22mm)? does that make the watch look smaller or larger compared to if it was 20MM? I can't decide if I like 22MM lugs on the Aquitaine.
Brilliant collection.
You don't have a digital watch. Given your wardrobe, I could see you pulling off something like a Casio "casioak" or a fancy G-shock "square" of some kind (even with a tie). Or maybe some kind of ani/digi like a Casio Lineage, those things are total GADA BEASTS!
Nice collection, thanks for sharing. Happy New Year sir.
One thing I like about CW is the wide lug widths. Not many brands will do that. I got the C65 Chrono but have not bonded with it. I like yours better but I should sell mine before I buy another. I enjoy the video. You have gotten deep in two years! You are a tall man with large hands you handle all those watches easily and could probably do a lot of Seiko or Omega 42-44mm watches.
That’s one of the best Islander colorways I’ve seen.
Very different taste in watches but I identified with this video a whole lot. Similar age got the watch bug around the same time, and often think about making a video just like this. Just for myself really, because my girlfriend and friends don't want to hear about my watches anymore.
Also started out with a Seiko 5, that scratched the itch for 3 or 4 days, then a Bulova, then spiraled from there (and don't plan on stopping any time soon). Like you said, it's your collection to do with as you please but if I could make one reccomendation it would be not to be afraid to try vintage. Cheers!
You could consider Stowa for your Bauhaus upgrade.
Respect and love for your collection.
Also ... love Max Bill, and the style would surely suit you fine, but have you also considered the Junghans Chronoscope.collection, or the Telemeter?
Thanks for the comment! I think the chronoscope looks cool but a little thick and pricey. I’d have to wear it first. Haven’t checked out the telemeter yet
Agree on the Bulova. Wish I didn't get it lol
Will you do a standalone review of the seawolf? Would like to see a fairly succinct video. It's insanely handsome but I hear there are some QC issues
Sorry that your Studio Underdog ⌚ does not keep time well.
My recommendation for a nice dress ⌚ under $1000, though literally a few dollars short, is the Pitzmann First Edition.
I do not own one yet but like the enamel dial with blued hands.
The Pitzmann Second Edition is also very nice too.
Also, collecting is a personal endeavor, but I think that you could get a Nomos if you bought fewer ⌚ too.
Again, collecting is a personal endeavor, but you have ⌚ that appear to be redundant in style and form.
Not a bad thing or even criticism, but a Nomos could be within your reach with fewer purchases.
Also, check out Chronext for a reduced price on a Nomos.
Not sure if I can recommend Jomashop.
I have heard more bad than good things about it.
You might also look into Hamilton.
I've thought that those Underdog has Seagul movement.
It would be easy to align the dial face (which a quick YT search will find), I am surprised that your jeweller made a rubbish job of it. I've had to take apart a much more complicated watch because I noticed a spot of dust behind the crystal. Watch hands on the other hand are finnicky, I have butchered a number already by being impatient.
When I see all these watches I think of the cost of maintaining them in the future, should you wish to keep them all in good running condition.
Heavy is the wrist that wears the watches…
The Bulova is sweet
I think we need a 4 year old wrist watch check. How about something German like a Sinn 556 or Damasko DS30? I think my Seiko Samurai wears big on my 7.5" wrist, I think you are better off sticking to something the size of your Zodiac.
It’s in the Islander Video!
I think you need a Hamilton and that watermelon is my favorite
Instead of Junghans, check out Casio Oceanus 5000CL.
Jewelers are not watchmakers. I don't know how much passion for them they have.
I like your collection and your style, so I subscribed to your channel.
Tip for next year:
Sell the watches that don't suit you and go for the Max Bill, or some real dress watch that makes you feel good, and has enough use for your lifestyle.
Don't sell the watermelon or the PRX, pleaseeee
Hey thanks for subscribing! Yeah, bulova and DH probably getting axed, Junghans or monta in the sights!
Hamilton Khaki, Nomos Club Campus, Formex Essence 39, start saving for a GS Spring Drive.
what size is your wrist?
I like this video. It was a cool watch looking at a new watch collector like myself. For your sentimental pieces it's good that you keep them and u let it be known that they aren't really apart of the collection. More like keep sakes.
I really like the Super Sea Wolf, personally not my fav color, but I like the design of that watch. Love the bracelet. I Also like your "Baby Alpinist". That is a great do-it-all watch. I like how that CW looks, but I'm not sure about the brand. Me personally; but it looks great.
I like the Bambinos, but I don't think that one fits your style. There are more Bambinos that have more nicer dials that fit more into your collection/philosophy - to me.
For my suggestions, try An-Ordain, their dials are beautiful. You have a Zelos, but like the Bambino, I don't think it truly matches your philosophy-to me. They have some beautiful dials that are very colorful also. Try Looking into Rado Coupoles for a nice dress watch with some nice dial action/price.
I actually like your PRX, I think it fits your wrist perfectly, but when you said the 36 is too small and the 42 is too large, I feel you. I wanted one but couldn't get the right fit. I have a Visodate as my Tissot watch in my collection.
Oris has a dial made of recycled plastic that I see your name all over. Look into Citizen for a rugged Diver at a great price. I have the Eco-Drive version, but the FuGu model is better, it comes with a sapphire crystal.
I think your like me and have a few impulse buys as you are starting out. Your taste will refine and your collection will round out. For a grail watch, I see Grand Seiko in your future. Their dials are too die for and they are very much on the dressier side.
Keep up the great work!
P.s. I feel you on the Max Bill, I am an aspiring architect; so a Max Bill is Def in my future.... Also, have you ever checked out Yema? The Bronze Superman Diver with the maroon dial is a winner. They're a French brand with some good history behind them
skagen relic zodiac fossil and every other company brand watch like bmw armani michael cors tory burch all the same watch in brand named dials, the seiko the bulova and the vostok are not but bulova is now made by citizen
Awesome. I have a 6.6 inch wrist and am thinking about the CW Aquitaine GMT. But im scared the bracelet might be too big for my wrist. Hows the taper? Im thinking of asking CW for extra half links so theres more articulation.
I think you will love the GMT especially if your wrist is bigger than mine. The issue is not so much the links as the long clasp-my review is coming out January 1 and you can see more footage of this-but I don’t think it’s long enough to cause a problem-I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to ask for half links though!
Bracelet tapers from 22mm to 16.5 which is weird, but it’s comfortable.
@@jrsnow94 thank you! I have a Helm Miyako with a 22mm bracelet, no taper. It exacerbated a shoulder injury so it cant really be used in active environments. Ive found that having a good taper and smaller links really makes a difference.
@@jrsnow94 appreciate that. The watch has become my grail
Since you asked, sell the Bulova, don't keep what you don't like, get a Hamilton khaki field 38mm auto on the bracelet, I know that selling watches is heartbreaking, even if you don't wear it, but it's good for you, and your wife won't get that mad, you will be able to keep a tight collection, other than that maybe go for a workout inexpensive Casio like a F-91W, or even better a Casio calculator watch, every high school teacher should have a calculator watch, no matter the subject.
I laugh a little when you say you are missing a gmt watch. Are you really? I had a gmt and it’s only function for me was as an am pm indicator when setting a dead watch.
I know, I know, it’s all relative…I really don’t need a watch in the first place, but in terms of an unnecessary 15-watch collection, it would be helpful. I teach classes online in another time zone and travel sometimes so I would use the function.
@@jrsnow94 I probably don’t need a 500m dive watch to go swimming either so I understand you well 😀
Personal opinion - this is a good start here; don't let anyone convince you otherwise. Buy what you like. BUT! In my opinion, get a mic and a camera first...
Second, IMHO, I would ditch the Dan Henry, the watermelon one, 2 Seikos and frankly Christopher Ward - there are simply better versions of those watches. The Chr. Ward retro diver watches all look better than this one you have like the bronze and blue bezel ones, same for the Mojito...save up for a Tudor if you can. Get Casio Duro; any G-Shock; find a cheap Breitling (do some research on those!), check Hamilton Khaki. The way I see it your price level is based on the Chr. Ward which appears to be the most expensive...? Also, perhaps check pre-owned markets like Chrono24 and find a place where you can reliably service those watches, even if you buy a damaged one. Tissot has some amazing chronos for example and you DO need a good GMT. Collection is not gonna be cheap though in the future. Good luck!
Haha it looks like we have very different tastes! I do appreciate the advice though.
Te Dan Henry is probably going, as is the Bulova. Don't know where/how I'd see them as I'm fed up with eBay taking their cut.
I think you are right-the way forward is to move up to the next tier which is something like a Tudor. I was also thinking maybe a rail master or aqua terra in the 3k range.
Which model are you thinking? BB58? I do really like the 1926 Opaline dial but don't need another white dial...
Yeah save for a Tudor. If you want to literally die of boredom looking down at your wrist and seeing a ubiquitous $4k Rolex homage.
What about the 1926?
Also, I find your lack of Casios disturbing...
Yes, it seems we do. I am also not a fan of Fossil brands like Skagen but it means a lot to you and that is what matters. Am also a big fan of microbrands as well.
It seems you are looking for a diver and a dress watch. Check Longines again, Zulu time, Tissot or the secondary market on Chrono24 for old Jaeger LeCoultre or Grand Seikos around 3k.
Rolex created Tudor as the affordable brand so ofc their designs are derived from Rolex. The grey and blue BB58s are awesome to me. Casio Duro blue, Seiko 5 turtle or the new orange one from this year, Citizen Kugu was it?, Doxa, Signum Cuda, Longines Hydroconquest, Zelos - I would get any and all of them for a diver.
I forgot Mido and Frederique Constant! You can do better than the 1926...
Zodiac is my favorite among those. Has the most personality & Christopher Ward is the least favorite … absolutely do not like their entire lineup. I’d almost wear an Invicta before Christopher Ward.
You obviously have good taste in watches. Follow your nose and it won't let you down...m
Scuba dude
The watches @9:03. You're welcome.
CW has the awesome SH21 with 5 day power reserve
Audio is too quiet. Can't hear anything you are saying, sadly.
Thanks for the comment, Robert! I’m listening to the RUclips version and the part where I’m facing camera is a little quiet but it gets better when camera is facing the table I’ll keep this in mind for future videos. Is anyone else having this issue?
@@jrsnow94 I could hear the rest.
Please use a lavalier lapel microphone ($20-30) w/ a cable when you record video. Thanks for your watch collection video. I enjoyed it.
Thanks for the comments. I bought a lapel mic with a cable and we will see how that goes!
Bruh u full of it
Full of good watch reviewing I presume??
I can hardly hear you.
Stop buying so many watches, most of these are pretty low quality (ie one has a hair on dial, another running real fast). $200 hundred here, $400 there…. It adds up. You could have purchased a couple really nice watches with all the money you spent on these. Just my opinion.
Ill say the underdog is cool though. My
Buddy has one and definitely a fun watch.
Thanks for the advice…others have mentioned going the consolidation route…I think this early in my collecting journey when I’m finding out what I like, I prefer 15 cheaper watches to 1-2 expensive ones, but as I mature and figure out what I like I’ll consolidate.
I think it’s perfectly fine to have a lot of watches versus 2 or 3 luxury watches. There’s no right or wrong way to collect. It makes more sense when you are starting out to buy less expensive watches as you figure out your tastes. Imagine doing what you suggest and you end up paying a lot of money for a rolex that you end up not liking and not wearing, and then you have to sell it at a loss of thousands of dollars. I think he’s doing it the right way imo.
Whats a nice watch? Its all subjective. If you really knew your horology you would know MOST expensive watches are actually running movements based on cheapy watches.
why
That’s the question!
prx only good thing in there
this collection is waste of natural resources and your money. sell all of them and get a longines tudor or heuer or some other good established brand.
this is junk!
And your a waste of space on an overpopulated planet. But we all gotta learn to live with it.
I’m not sure you understand the whole thing with watch collecting, but thanks for the comment anyway!
Harsh and unnecessary comment. @Mohammed
Nice collection and sorry for the loss of your mom.
Your collection is missing for sure a GMT do you like the new Seikos GMT ? Go for the black dial ,
Sapphire cristal, ceramic bezel half black and half grey only in day light you’ll see it it’s a very good option or else look for Sinn 105 UTC black dial version Sellita 300-2 56 hrs power reserve around 1600 € in the website store I mention downside, your Tissot PRX Quartz have a push and pull crow or it’s a screw down? ido like the design my opinion should be an automatic but … not my collection, the Orient Bambino for what is style I think it’s a cool piece too , the “watermelon” Whoooooo that one I thought what😮 ! That’s a very cool piece for summertime sports watch anyway my thoughts, the Islander not my cup he should bought other versions I live in Europe that’s why I just had one can’t justify the taxes etc too much cash , the Christopher Ward now have much cool designs that one it’s too dressy but it’s your style plus I do like the design of it that Chronograph seagull it does looks ok but sell it and buy another one ( that go for an Hamilton) a diver I’ll buy a Seiko SkX (homage from Long Island watches ) and last buy a Sinn 104 it’s an awesome watch with a Sellita movement very well done 👍 in think there’s a AD in US but try this guys from Netherlands Serious Watches 😉 ask for Mark by WhatsApp and bargain for a better price plus see their watch brands collection all Ad dealers plus Express shipping and for you in the US no taxes above 1000$ US , plus do you know a brand called Formex COSC certified I’ve got same wrist size 17,5 cm around 6,7 inches bought a Essence Thirtynine beautiful watch 100 m push crow I think your Tissot PRX it’s same correct? have a Reef diver 300 m screw down crown etc if you like quality for good price COSC certified you got it Sinn are not certified but for me Sinn ( know things are bad in Europe everything is 10/15 % more expensive) buy it know or buy Islander Watches my opinion! All the best Amigo do like your humble collection! Have a very good Christmas and a happy New year!
Do you like The new Zelos GMT spearfish version they look cool I think in Zelos site they are sold out try Google for Serious Watches for sure you’ll be surprised with the brands they have and prices specially for you in US !
Nice taste champ !
I would reduce to only 5, then purchase a higher end watch for yourself
please the next video you make show one less watch and instead of it provide audio it would be fantastic thank you.
😂 as others have also asked for, got it. I bought a lapel mic after this video and subsequent ones have better audio .
The Zodiac 😍 and the clean design of the Farer 😎
