Oh no he got into watches😔😔🤧
Rip
I have a simple Seiko 5 and I like it. Don't know much about watches, and don't want to dive in over my head so I just got the one.
I will die with a Seiko on my wrist and a Spyderco in my pocket I know that now ! Enjoy your journey Metal love the channel ❤
Those steel "bands" are normally called bracelets btw. Bands are leather, cloth, rubber, etc., the usual stuff with a clasp, and then there are straps like NATOs, marine nationals, and so on, made if cloth.
I started with watches and now onto knives. I was Nick named the flipper on a popular watch forum b3cause of the number of watches I bought and sold.
You should (if you haven't already) look into citizen watched. I love mine.
Perhaps take a look at Sinn next? I think you’ll like the aesthetic, etc.
Variety! You need VARIETY! Yes, everyone should a black dial dive watch. ONE! 😆
(Just busting your chops. Buy what you like. 😉 )
Nice watch. I prefer tissot for best bang for buck
I love watches and watch several watch channels. Luckily, I appreciate them, but do not feel the need to get into the ownership. My daily wear is a Galaxy watch (1st gen) and will likely upgrade when the next gen releases this year and occasionally wear a G-shock (DW5600 ?). Knives and guns are enough to consume my small expendable income available for fun stuff.
yea, i love the internal micro adjustment clasps, like in my omegas, or zelos. its good alot of brands are starting to integrate that.
What kind of steel are they and which has the best fidget factor
Ohhh gezzz another Watch... lol it’s nice! I’ll say that! I’m not a watch guy thou.. I HATE the feeling of anything on my wrists... also it covers up a little bit of the tattoos going from the back of my hand to my shoulder on both arms. Btw... I really like the blue faced one! Nice!
Love the blue faced watch
Grand seiko snowflake ❄️ is one of the nicest seiko they make .
The world of knives is just like the world of watches, different levels for different tastes and budgets. Same arguments in prices same arguments on needs. Seems like a natural progression.
Some lovely timepieces you have there sir.
I've had an eco drive dive watch for years. Was like 600 when I bought it. Its taken huge pounding but barely has few scratches on glass. For retro moods I have a Casio calculator watch lol
I got a citizen eco drive wr100 or something like that , and its super nice. Absolutely love it. I wish there was a way i could nato it
Nice watch. I like those Samurais. I like my Luminox watches too. The minute you buy your first nice watch, you will be looking for your next watch. Ugh.
Who didn’t have a fossil in high school?? I was big pimping with my silver chain and fossil watch.
He is up to more shabazzery. Nick got him hooked.
Got a limited solar tuna, Seiko is the shit!
Watches are one of the few things that could make knives look cheap! Next up - BOATS AND RVs!!! Chichi Whiskey and cigars?!?
Love it....im an enthusiast of both as well. Its great for fit and finish on both ends. Appreciation is well understood because of these aspects. Happy to see u get into this great hobby as well. Wish u the best on ur growth of watches n knowledge you'll gain
Didn't Seiko used to be K-Mart special digital watches?
Nice starter collection. Just stay away from Omega watches. Very similar to the Seiko’s, but far more expensive. The Seiko give you the feel of an Omega at a much lesser cost.
I'm not seeing a Grand Seiko up there MC. Where's the Grand Seiko?!?!?! . . .
. . . Sorry, just trying to get some payback for all the money you've made me spend 😞
2 rabbit holes u fall in to and can't get out of we fallen in and can't get out. Try luminox there great wicked light not to pricey 200 to 500. I match them with the nato bands wicked light on wrist. I been running nato bands on everything lately and loving the nato bands. But yes watches knifes fucking deep rabbit holes.well i guess we could be spending money on worst shit right well that what I tell my slef.
Want a slippery slope? Try Swiss automatic watches. Add a zero to the prices. Ask me how I know ;-)
Well, good thing your not a watch guy 😂
People who buy 1 seiko will soon own at least 5.
Don’t turn your back on them, they multiply like rabbits!
oops im sorry ,i thought i was going to watch a blade review,see ya
Lol
It's what nutnfancy wears
Of course it is 😅
Stay with knives! wasted video! disappointed tbh
Typically these do pretty well. So my answer to you is "no".
@@metal_complex good luck on your future endeavors . unsubbed
@@donkeytat2 lol
So salty 🧂
Do you follow the cool watch hashtags on insta? Or Urban Gentry’s acct?
I’ll email you the ones I like a bit later on/tomorrow and drop a link to my 3 German automatic Pilot style watches post I put on insta.
Well...now that you're into watches, your knives will feel a lot cheaper!
Check our Christopher Ward as your next step....happy to advise anytime. Check out my IG for a sampling...
Oh...and I'm sorry for your future rabbit hole!
I *genuinely* love your videos. Truly good stuff. But man, the click-bait titles are just so disgustingly cringy. You’re better than that 🫤
Seiko is a very addicting brand. Even those who own very very expensive watches, you know $10k+ type of watches, very often own multiple Seikos. There are those who are not into them, but those who are, can't seem to stop buying them. They are solid, they come in all sorts of shapes with all sorts of different functions and they are pretty much almost always quality pieces. Also, there is kind of a whole separate Seiko mod community, which really extends the flavors of the watches. Personally, I got into watches first and only recently got into knives. Keep in mind that the watch hobby is generally more expensive than the knife hobby so be selective and don't go nuts right away with your purchases. Enjoy.
I wear a Seiko Samurai most of the time, but have a few less sports oriented Seiko models that I wear as well. I enjoy them all but the Samurai is my fav. I used to wear a very fine Omega diver…very like my Seiko but going for about 5X the price. The two watches are almost exactly equivalent in accuracy. The Seiko is more comfortable in that the band just happens to EXACTLY fit my extremely large wrist out of the box. Nice. When shopping for any new Seiko I’m careful to only consider items thatare verified to have been made in Japan. It matters.
I’m a watch guy too bro. It’s a deep hole. Be careful
But what is its size comparison up against the Benchmade Griptilian, or in this case, the Ritter Hogue?
Wait till you get into Omega Seamasters
I’m glad I love my Apple Watch as much as I do and find it superior in every way. If not I’d be in trouble.
I love my Garmin instinct, does everything I want without being too distracting. With that said, I'm still on the hunt for a 50-60s omega bumper in stainless with the minute sub dial. Something about a classic watch is still so satisfying, especially in professional or special occasions.
I bought a Galaxy watch a while back and enjoyed it for about 2 weeks. Not for me. Don't care how advanced or superior it is. They're just extremely uninteresting to me.
@@Fly2kill1 problem is the Apple Watch battery won’t last as long and won’t be supported with software updates down the road
They’re not that expensive but you should try Zelos, phoibus, or Audaz. Zelos definitely has a cult following out of the 3. Zelos my favorite is either the Abyss 3, or the hammerhead. Phoibus the leviathan or wave master.
Seikos are great watches!!! You can heavily customize yours if you want to.
I am a knife and a watch and a guitar and a boot and a sports card guy !!! Welcome to the RABBIT HOLE !!!
Hate to break it to you, you have two samurais, a king turtle, a sumo and a formex, you prefer bracelets and automatics. You're a watch guy. Really nice collection shaping up.
I used to like Timex watches
"Do NOT get into watches"......Shabazz
I rocked a $200 Armitron in high school it was skeletonized ,( sorry if its the wrong watch lingo)meaning you can see all the gears and cogs working and turning i had to have this thing and I remember when g shock came out right after and was $200-$400 and I was like why ? What? Who ! Why are these silicone pieces of sh!+ so much money ????? I also like a fool bought the leatherman tread bracelet when it came out im still debating getting th watch for it but I cant justify the price like the g shock stuck stuck stuck what to do ? Help please . Anyone own one ? Should I get the watch for the tread ? Or should I just say screw it ?
Welcome to the watch world... I at one time went way north of 100 watches, I'm down to 78... I might have a few I could donate to your cause... Lol
You slide so what you know what you like
Seiko's and knives are so addicting LOL. Seiko's and Spyderco's are alike, they have a cult like following in their own industry. Love your content, thanks!
your watch viewer voice is perfect, I envisioned some old coot with a handlebar mustache and a monocle lololololol
I was warned against these things from Batman himself!
Your Nick S impression is always spot on. If you put on a pair of gloves and just did that voice no1 would even know any different. lol
My wrist is always bigger/swelled in the morning as opposed to later in the day. I always have to size my watches down a bit by the evening. Guess I'm a weirdo haha
As my near eyesight has waned the last couple years I enjoy day/date watches less. I can't see either clearly. Prefer just the date.
My favorite watch I own is a Seiko that was my father's. I can still remember him coming home from the steel mill and the only clean place on his arm was when he took it off to get a shower. Priceless to me. Great video brother 👍
How many watches are you planning on getting?
Also check out teddy Baldassarre for watch stuff. He’s a great RUclips channel for watches
MC, check out the grand seiko line. Starts out at 6k and goes around 15k….
You gotta try out a Hamilton khaki automatic .
Next up.......1000m Tuna!
Sumo is beautiful
Check your band screws they can get loose lock tight just my recommendation as a guy that repairs watches
Agreed ‼️Use Blue LokTite Not Red on those tiny screws ‼️
“Hey guys Nick here, don’t get into watches because it is a slippery slope” also Nick “Hey MC buy my Samurai” 😂
One should always try and bring friends down to your own level of depravity. 🤘🏼🔥🤘🏼
Crystal was the word you were looking for when you said lens. Took me a while to start to understand the terminology in the watch world
There we go. Thank you
Haha so cool! I ordered the exact same watch this weekend, and according to UPS tracking it will be here tomorrow! Cant wait! Congrats! Do you mind if i ask what size wrist you have? Mines 7.8-7.9 inches and it would bee cool to compare.
I wish I could say something to convince you not to spend too much money on low-end watches. But everyone has to walk their own path. When you experience Omega, Tudor, Rolex, some Breitlings, Panerai, even Longines, hell, Grand Seiko…well…it’ll be interesting to watch. Please, though, don’t spend too much on low-end watches.
I would agree as you can buy a Sea Shepherd 300M “Turtle” style watch in a choice of dial & ceramic bezel colors on a SS bracelet with a push button divers deployment clasp by offering the EBay seller $💯‼️… And guess what ❓The engine is a 24 jewel Seiko automatic ‼️
Saphire lens on a watch?! Take my money!:)
Lab created Sapphire ‼️
That’s a nice looking watch. Good taste.
My freaking favorite model and brand! Love the 6306/9 and SRP Turtle. Need to send mine off to have the chapter ring aligned!
The king turtles are awesome! Don’t listen to everyone, buy what you like first and foremost.
I’ve wanted this watch for a long time, just got a islander dive watch for my anniversary, this is next I think!
Actually the one nick called a gem!
Man watches are amazing. I've got way too many and will be selling some this summer to cover the mess of knife preorders I'm in LOL
I tend to wear a watch for about a month, and that's a lot different from knives where I like to carry multiple every day and usually swap at least one of them.
Hey MC! I see your a fan of metal bracelets, just like me! Just a friendly tip, if you like rocking those kind of bracelets I recommend leave the watches on their side or leave some kind of cushion inbetween the band and exhibition case back, because sometimes the bracelets can rub up against the case back and scratch the back glass, or whatever mineral they are made of 👍
I own a Seiko Arctura since around 2004 still runs great 👍 Seiko is hard to beat
That ratchet extension is a cool feature.
They are often called GlideLocks‼️
I used to do jewelry repair, working for my family's Pawn Shop. The comment you made about the 100$ watches made me laugh. I have owned some really nice watches over the year with my most expensive being an Omega X-33. Personally a Citizen nut and had a bunch of Eco-Drive watches over the year and yet still owned a few, somewhat inexpensive, Nixon watches and much cheaper Seiko watches. Nick wasn't wrong man, watches can get seriously addictive, and extremely expensive. Have fun man.
Dear MC, STOP FEEDING MY ADDICTION, please dont stop, I love it EDC for life.
You'll be in a Breitling within the next 24 months. Mark my words.
I'd say the multiplier from knives to watches is x10. If you're into $50 knives, $500 is your watch range. $100 knife/$1,000 watch, etc.
The good thing is: you have an appreciation for both budget & extravagant. You're playing in WE/Civivi/Kershaw territory in relative price.
Next up will be Longines/Oris. Then Omega. Then Zenith/IWC. Then Rolex. Then A Lange en Sohm, AP, Patek, etc
Good luck brother. Welcome to the new 🐇 🕳.
Love the way your watch collection is filling out. Some great choices there.
My buddy, Cliffe Wharnsfoot, asked me to give you this chart. Since you’re collecting watches now. I told’im I’d do it. シ
Crystal - that glass thingy that you look through. (Sapphire, mineral, glass, etc.)
Dial - that round thingy that you look at with all the hours on it, and the skinny, pointy arrows go around it.
Hands - those skinny pointy arrow things that move around the dial and point at the hours. (See Dial)
Bezel - that other round thingy on the outside, on the top, with numbers and it turns counter clockwise. (Some people use it as a timer, it’s basically just a clicky fidget spinner)
Crown - another little round thingy on the east side that pulls out and pushes in and is used to set the time/date. (Some screw in and out to keep out water… and I guess maybe gunk and stuff)
Case - the main part thing that holds all the guts in.
Case Back - the back side of the case. (See case) (sometimes it’s screwed on or off, or snaps on or off)
Lugs - the four pointy things that stick out the north and south ends where you attach the bracelet or band.
Bracelet/Band - goes around your wrist and if it’s metal (such as steel, or gold) it’s a bracelet. If it’s leather or plastic, etc., it’s a band. I guess you could use rope or paracord, but bracelets work best.
Thanks,
Cliffe W.
I totally understand!!! I purchased an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Chronograph 600m last June. I am a watch freak and now a knife enthusiast. I also have a few other watches I wear. Love your content!!!!
Love my Seiko's too. 8x52 chronograph movement Astron, titanium is my favorite. Movado series 800 is good too. Bunches of 7750's also.
Oh man, do you have a strict watch taste or what? But what the hell, I have a G-Shock thing with Tough Solar and Multiband 6. Always charged and always the exact time. You can't drown them, you can't break them and they won't break you €€.
I dove into watches like 2 years and I too started with knives! So I fully understand the struggle! Lol! That formex is 🔥! I have a olive green seiko Willard that’s kinda similar to turtle!
Watches are just like knives. You’ll see in a few years you’ll start trading multiple watches for one more expensive one you never thought you’d spend that much on.
I used to collect the seiko presage line. My favorite its the seiko snow flake and the star bar honey comb. They are pricey on the secondary market now. but I could never sell them. they are too nice.
I’m a citizens man myself. I have 3 ranging from 300-1200 bucks. As far as not being told to buy another on….I completely understand!
Your Nick Impression is SPOT ON HAHAHAHAHA
You went into the Nick Shabazz voice on a watch review? Ground breaking territory!!
This is a place when titanium matters. Rather have a lighter watch on .
i like the watches but why do they all read different times?🤣🤣
one of us.....one of us....
Dude you got to get the seiko marine master 300
I got into knives that way. I blame you for my xm-24, which I love and my lust for a Shirogorov. Jerad Neeves got me interested in cologne now. I refuse to go the way of the watch. 🤣
