I recently ignited my dormant love for watches again by going to my first watch shop and having my first proper AD experience which was amazing. I bought a tissot gentleman with a blue dial and a few days later a heritage visodate with a black dial out of excitement for getting back into watches. I can't wait to keep building my collection and learning more about the hobby through great channels and people like you, thank you for creating a great place to receive positive advice and knowledge to new watch collectors.

    Just wanted to say I've been a fan of yours for a couple years now, just watched this episode last night on my big TV with surround sound setup. Your production value has gone through the roof since I started watching, bravo! Great collection, glad to hear that you're actively thinning it down. I know we all love to collect watches like mad, but there's something really healthy about making sacrifices and learning to live with less. Also, that early Seiko Flightmaster is just gorgeous. I have the gold-plated version of the newer one in my collection and love it, but now I kind of want to find its ancestor! Anyway, keep on doing what you do, your knowledge, passion and sense of humility when it comes to watches is a very refreshing thing to see these days. Cheers!

    My collection is currently:
    Tag Heuer Carrera Rose Gold absolute keeper. Not necessarily the most impressive watch but I got it as a gift when i graduated high school and it was what started my love of watches. Wore it everyday for about 4 years
    Seiko Padi Turtle - My diver i wear most often hate the term "beater" but it gets that kind of workload
    Seiko Monster 2019 version with blue dial on a bracelet (keeper gift from gf)
    Heuer Autavia with the heuer02 movement. my first luxury piece i purchased. Want to say keeper but who knows

Swatch sistem 51 Irony the fleiger one, little gold Casio, a Casio royale that I've modded, a gshock mudman and a gulfmaster, my other granddad's Timex and a gold accurist on a flexi strap thing that rips out arm hairs :)
    Mostly sentimental stuff, I'm looking at a Seiko next either a samurai or an skx007 or a flightmaster all depends on how long I'm willing to save money for. Love the videos learnt a lot from you dude

    I have always worn a watch, but they never really intrigued me until now. You sir have sparked my fascination/collection with watches. Im 18 and my parents think im crazy for spending almost $2000 on an older OMEGA Speedmaster Automatic. The dial has the perfect amount of patina which I LOVE! I explained to them that the watch makes me very happy and proud. Took me all summer to buy that watch, and it's worth more than my car 😁.

    It is interesting that you mention maybe getting an FP Journe watch. I have wanted one for a few years after visiting their shop in Paris. What beautiful, functional pieces of wrist art. And the people at the shop were very nice to me despite the fact that I told them I was just looking at the moment. I went to the JLC shop as well and tried the Master Control moonphase and couldn't get over how perfectly sized and understated it was. I ended up adding a red dial Reverso Tribute to 1931 to the collection. Such a surprise. Have fun looking!

    • @michaeledwardlenzi

      And currently my collection consists of 3 watches:
      1. Rolex Datejust 36mm smooth bezel/black dial (latest model). My daily do anything watch.
      2. Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute to 1931 Ultra Thin Black Dial. Simple and elegant.
      3. Jaeger-LeCoultre Tribute to 1931 Red Dial (current model). Latest edition. I love the dial so much. What an amazing red leather strap as well. I have gone down the Reverso rabbit hole.
      My biggest realization in the last few years of collecting is that I prefer smaller, thinner watches. I have an 8" wrist but I feel the larger sizes just don't wear well for me. Strange but true. The Rolex Explorer 36mm is the watch that made me realize that. But I wanted a date and the new 72 hour power reserve parachrome hairspring movement so I sold my Explorer and other watches and bought it. No regrets. The DJ is it for me in terms of form and function. I put it on the NATO when I travel and it looks like a Timex. Haha. Thanks for sharing your collection. It is fascinating to see tastes change and meander. Love it. That is my favorite part of the hobby!
      Take care, brother.

      My wife bought me a Bulova Marine Star. it's not one i would have bought for myself but she complains that all of my watches look the same, and she's right. So she usually buys me more fashion type watches which is fine by me. The thing about the Marine Star is it looks like a Hublot or AP Royal oak from a distance. my niece wanted to buy one for her boyfriend and i told her it was an AP Royal oak. when she looked up the price she almost passed out. i had to clue her in later in the evening that it was a Bulova.
