Do Not Confuse an Amazing Watch with a Miracle Watch

- As watch addicts, we are looking for a miracle, but do not confuse an amazing watch with a miracle watch.
Allow me to announce my finished book The Watch Survivor: A Guide Through the Traps, Pitfalls, and Strange Behaviors of Watch Enthusiasts:
www.amazon.com...
Well my definition of being an addict is having watches in your collection worth 5 grand but still looking at watches and occasionally buying one when you go to Walmart.
None of us here are sane...
True story
Im definitely insane. My wife can attest to this. I’m addicted for sure! Zero will power when something comes out and I’m too lazy to sell some of the watches I don’t wear that often knowing I’ll just take a hit flipping them.
Regarding watches? Or just generally insane? 😉
@@bobfromdenison Mostly just watches but one could argue I’m insane in general? 🤷♂️
I shouldn’t leave this comment… as a fellow watch obsessive (who also watched HR Puffnstuff as a kid), I can attest that there is no such thing as a miracle watch. It’s a fable. A fantasy. Great content Jeff!
I love the return to the tabletop format!
Searching for a miracle watch is like searching for a miracle food. Watches are like food to a watch addict. We can technically survive for several days without food, much like we can (allegedly) survive for a few days without wearing a watch.
But searching for the one miracle watch is like searching for one miracle food. Even if such a food did exist, we would rather have variety! Variety is the only way to meet all of your nutritional needs, and variety is the only possible way for us to meet our watch needs.
When we have a nutritional deficiency, we take nutritional supplements. This too is where food and watches are alike because watch addicts often require supplementation. So thank you, McMahon, for nutritional supplement videos like this that help to keep us alive until our next big watch meal!
Miracle food; elven Lembas bread.
Miracle watch; any square solar g-shock.
A few days without a watch? I can't make it an hour, it only comes off in the shower. I have a tritium watch just for sleeping or the voices in my head keep me up....
Thanks to your channel, I've found my niche in watches. I was in the homage phase with chinese copies of swiss watches until I got a 62mas Homage. That along with your channel have steered me towards the Seikos I truly love and wear today.
Also I'm a little dissapointed you kept the Willard after saying it was boring. That comment is one of the reasons I got the vintage colored Willard and I love it to bits.
Thanks for everything, Professor.
The vintage is better, for sure.
You talk about the SPB237 ?@@JeffreyMcMahon
Vintage colored? You mean the black on black?
I’m going to have to see but after decades of collecting watches, for now anyway, my miracle watch is my King Turtle. Honestly I am wearing it ALL the time. I put on one of my other watches, which includes a vintage submariner and I keep coming back to my King Turtle. So comfortable, amazing Seiko lume, sapphire crystal with anti-reflection coating, and it’s keeping +5 seconds a day accuracy! I don’t know I shouldn’t be saying this, but this could be my miracle watch! On top of that I got it for under $400 brand new.
I have a dark manta ray King Turtle, and I agree, what a beautiful watch. Best dial I can imagine. But still, I recently bought the SPB 147 gold shown in this video. Love that too. Too many great watches out there!!
You've done it again McMahon! I'm in a juxtaposed state of strangely soothing sympathies and crazed insecurities and conflict. I am a watch addict!
You need to sell black t-shits with a channel type logo. We will support you!
T-shits 😂
The best watch will always be the one you don't own.
1:55 For me it was R.L. Stine. Read every single one of his Goosebumps books. Changed my life 👌.
I love the beauty and craftmanship of watches- I have a small collection of watches that I enjoy wearing and conversations start when people see them. I don't have high end expensive watches because I have better stuff to buy with that type of money.
These Seikos all look the same to me, and I'm a watch addict! This is a whole other level.
McMahon is in a good groove.
Been a while since the last "worry worry worry" 🙃
Bloviate, brother! We love it ❤
I used to be a watch addict. But now im totally OK. Unfortunately i have acquired over a dozen pairs of high quality boots in the last two years and i'm not sure I can stop.
I stopped around 8 pairs and started my healthy watch collecting which I have totally under control because my bikes are taking up so much time. haha
@@elefantrisingI switched from watches to fountain pens. It's even more insane than the watch community.
@@threethrushes I can’t even imagine more insane then watches :)
Do you have a pair of
RM Williams boots?
@@tonydoggett7627 no. Trickers, Loake, Cheaney, Jeffrey West, and Herring.
Jeffrey, I have got some Seikos as well and totally get what you are talking about. Man, that SLA055 is just fantastic and could be my next watch. Hopefully it's not that miracle watch though, because then the whole watch hunt thing would come to an end. Great content.
Watches are a (relatively) recent passion of mine, and I've already found that the chase is a lot more fun than the "kill". I don't know if a Miracle Watch exists, and I think I'd be doing something futile if I tried to tell myself that it does.
I have had miracle watches in the past but they have only lasted at most one month.
In my experience, eventually getting what i thought would be my miracle watch just led me to a new price point tier
I lusted for years over the matte dial, matte ceramic bezel, full matte bracelet Oris Aquis 39.5mm. I finally picked it up 2 years ago and it was my most expensive watch. I bought a Sinn 556A-RS last year and I want to get a Laco Flieger Pro A dial in 37mm as well. But honestly I’ve mostly bought cheaper watches around the $500 mark. I love all the aforementioned watches but they’re not as good value as the aforementioned entry level luxury watches (based on the enjoyment I get wearing them). Even cheap watches like the Seiko SKX007 or Citizen NY0040 still get me excited when I strap them on the wrist. I was afraid I’d only buy more expensive watches in the future but that hasn’t been the case. I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing? Sometimes I wish it stuck to more affordable watches. If I was just starting out now I’d probably only buy micro brands as I think most of them offer the best bang for the buck in terms of specs for an affordable price.
Sid And Marty .. Saturday morning blast from the past!!
I was a watch addict, may be still am, last watch I bought was a close to new 6306 and marinemaster sbdx017 and and orange sumo. It may have cured me, the x in the new prospex just throws me off
Did the movies or actors come first and then the watch or did you like Seiko in the first place ?
Long time listener first time commenter, quick question for you McMahon. Which is the $800 Citizen Promaster GMT you speak of? I recall you mentioning it in another video but can't recall. Love your videos and keep up the good work!
Here it is: www.sakurawatches.com/citizen-promaster-sky-nb6046-59e
It always amazes me that I thirst for a new watch, get it, then I am looking at another!
God please help me.
I am not sure if I can watch this video
You got a really nice collection there McMahon, congrats!
I remember being happier when I made less money appreciating the things I acquired now I have a larger bank account and nothing brings me joy anymore
As odd as it may seem to get caught up in watches, watch guys are not nearly as odd as birder guys. Unless bird guys are enjoying the ladies who are missing here.
If I was McMahon, keep the SLA055 and flip the rest. Bored of the looks of it? Change the strap type for a while.
Everyone else says SOTC not McMahon he drops the mic, goat. cheers
Bloviated-that’s a great word. There’s no miracle watch for me. Love your SLAs, esp. the 055. I love to admire watches but don’t feel the need to own them. So I’m addicted to watch content but not watch purchases. Still hard to decide which of my amazing watches to wear…
I just purchased the SLA063 when I would of preferred the SLA051 but I got such a great price on a new SLA063 Aurora I couldn't turn it down. The SLA063 has such a bright dial that I know it'll be a niche or summer wear.. such a false economy because I know I will have to purchase the SLA051 at some point as well! The madness of a Seiko fan and watch collector.. I have a window into the problems you face.. It's never over..
I'd love to see how the blue of your 063 compares with the blue on the SBDC065.
The dial is a very different blue to the SBDC065, its hard to explain but i will give it a try - it has a more green blue tinge in some light or a very bright brilliant aquamarine blue. Definitely nice and quite different to most of the safe colours you'd find on a seiko diver dial but not as wearable as the sla051. If you get the opportunity, pick one up to take a look.@@JeffreyMcMahon
What we gotta do to keep those daily uploads coming?
would you ever get a Grand Seiko diver?
Perhaps though I would rather buy a Seiko SLA039.
I found it interesting that they’re all on black rubber
Yeah you’re insane . They are all almost the same watch 😂. I am trying not to have the same problem except with variety . Thanks for the vid and good laughs
Is there a watch that would make me settle down and sell my collection? One to which I would be faithful? To have and to hold from this day forth, forsaking all others? Yeah, right.
I got seiko divers, glycine, omega, tag...but just got a marathon gsar and its pretty close to a miracle watch
If H.R. Pufnsuf was on at the same time as Gilligan's Island, the talking dragon would lose out to the coconut-powered radio every time.
Is it hard to show the watches sunny side up?
I don't know, Jeff, your 055 looks like a miracle watch to me. Mine are all fantastic but they're not miracle fodder - that would the Glashütte Original Seaq Panorama I've been dreaming about. Great video, btw.
How many do you need..... just one more.
Hello my name is Marcus, I am a Watchalholic! Watches are like potato chips, you can never have just one.😀
この2つの時計とデイトナは、私の奇跡の時計です。私は日本からの視聴者ですが、セイコーを好きになってくれてありがとう!
Ha! Nicely done. ...found i had to put on the mm300 before you was done. ...sigh. 😂
I do that all the time. We need an intervention.
Miracle = Unicorn
SBBN is definitely a hero watch. Submarine commanders wear them.
Miracle watches do happen but only for a few weeks :)
I've had watches that are a 24hour miracle 😅
The miracle watch has to be so egregiously expensive, such a financially-uncomfortable decision, such an irrational purchase that it sates one's demonic hunger.
Only under these conditions are the watch gods sated by the sacrifice.
My miracle watch was a quartz. The price I paid was equivalent to the tuition fees for my M.A. degree 20 years ago.
You have to look at it this way, better quality heroin doesn't cure a dope fiend. It just makes them chase the dragon that much more😂 . When I bought my first" real luxury watch" it just made me want another, and another and another. .. An estimated $60k later I'm looking to buy another watch. I don't need one, but I want one.
Jeff-great video. Thoughts on the new Marinemaster?
I like it a lot, but it's too pricey and I'm not in love with it. I prefer the Seiko SLA071 Landmaster.
Agree. Love the 051.@@JeffreyMcMahon
Seikopath😊
Nice collecting of watches. Miracle watches? I have had many........for a few days only. Throw it in the box to wear others. Have to hide the favorites to use the others.
Love the sla055. Have mine on a strapco bor vintage bracelet. Beyond stunning!
We are going to disagree on the mm300 bracelet. I got a good fit on my sla059. It weight of the bracelet balances out the chunky monkey watch head. Works for me. On the flip side, I wear a sla039 on a bright orange dassari rubber strap. Works great also. Love orange on divers.
I thought the 039 is the miracle watch. I wore one. It's on another level.
Hilarious and so true
lol you are the best
traska latest 36mm summiteer black dial cured me ;)
You seem to love the 62mas case designs of the spb143 and 147 , ever thought of buying the SLA versions of the 62 mas reissue’s or re-interpretation such as the SLA017, SLA043 etc?
Yes, but so pricey. I love the 017 the best.
@@JeffreyMcMahon yeah the 017 is pretty much perfection!
I just picked up a Hamilton pan europ hoping for a miracle lol
I mean cmon, “Puffn stuff?” I know a lot of ppl were puffing stuff back then…
Am proud am addicted to watches and cars in today’s insane addiction types!
I'm definitely too watch greedy to have a diver only collection 😋
Damn. What does happiness even mean anymore?? lol. The addiction gets even crazier hence you start modding…trust me….i still think I have a chance to build the miracle watch………..
Seiko will never get you to the promised land
McMahon 4 president 2024- A Seiko on every wrist!
Nice watches but the video was too much like a Seiko ad.
Mm300 without lume pip is unbearable. How can you ignore that plus the prospex logo.
Great collection. I believe you need a watch for dress and formal events. Ive had a SARB for years and the “baby grand” simply fits.
What would you add to your collection to cover formal events?
The Citizen, which costs $2,400 on Gnomon.
Miricle Watch = end of 🌈
😢we are all very sick
Great video. What is the model number of the citizen you mentioned? Of course I will have to see if it is my miracle watch😂.

@@JeffreyMcMahon Awesome. Thanks
I have about 40 watches and I don't have a miracle watch yet.
Wow
They all look almost the same
Except the tuna
Why not more diversity in the models ?
Good point. I have a couple to get in 2024.
The devil is in the details.
