Building a 4-Watch Collection On the Spot (at my AD)

- They let me loose at the Seattle TimeWorks store. A new watch store staffed by watch enthusiasts. So I challenged my AD to a contest to see who can build a better 4-watch collection.
Vote on the BEST collection: www.watchcrunch.com/Max/posts/my-ad-is-cooler-than-yours-39952
A great dual but I have to say the store guy crushed it. So great to see someone selling watches who actually knows his stuff. Nice :)
He knows his stuff
Totally agree!
His collezione was killer 👌
Seemed like a chill guy with a sense of humor too. Great video man!
Gabe is the best! Glad to see him and the Timeworks crew getting some attention. It's true, the crew there really do know watches.
Gabe knows his stuff 👍
Most watch places I would feel uncomfortable going to because of my appearance but I feel like I would be right at home in this place
I’d have to say the sale person crushed it. I’d love to have a store like this in my area. Great duel in a 4 watch budget.
He looks like a redditor forced to wear a suit and interact with people
Gabe definitely won, but im shocked there was not a single rotating bezel on either collection.
Any watch video Kevin is in, it exudes snobbery. Gives the watch community a bad reputation. Thats why i really enjoy your content. No snobbery at all, just love for watches. Keep it up my man. Created an account on WC a couple months ago and i absolutely love the app. Ive learned so much. Keep going!
I was there in May and I can say the staff were watch people. I wore a vintage Omega watch and it was a pleasure discussing a wide range of watches.
“You’re a fancy boy, I like that!”😂 Brilliant Max!
The Kevin O'Leary comment on "collection" had my rolling 😂
The green IWC was the best pick of the day by far
Love your contents, no snobbery, keeping it real for true enjoyment of watch collecting. Please keep up the great work!
Cheers bud
Gabe was a great ambassador for the store!
Fosho 👍
So many other watch channels are basically by entertainers first….glad to see a normal, intelligent guy who loves watches making videos:)
We are the winners for showing us all the great watches.
Thanks guys.
Cheers Luke 👍
Enjoyed the challenge and the variety of watches available!
Store guy FTW! It was nice to see the banter between the two of you. Maybe invite this lovely enthusiast back for more videos 😊
I live in Seattle and love visiting TimeWorks and talking to Gabe. He is super helpful and loves to talk watches and let me try on all my faves.
Glad to see timeworks getting some love! My go to shop in Seattle! Love those guys!
Love this video. It gets right down into the trenches of watch enthusiasm! Can't wait to travel to Seattle.
Great Video. Gabe really knew what he was talking about.
A speedy and a grand Seiko? Your collection is the winner. Easy.
Haha thanks 🙏
It's always fun to do these, but titanium a precious metal? Definitely not.
Loved seeing you at the University Shopping Center. My friends family ran a sporting goods store there for many years as well as running the Fiorini Ski School.
I agree, I would have to pick the store guy's collection 1)IWC Mark XX 2) Grand Seiko SBGE285 3) Casio Mudmaster and 4) Longines Flagship. Btw- I learned something in this video. It appears the IWC Mark XX (green dial) is now available at ADs (versus a boutique item only). This must have just happened.
Literally just happened a few weeks ago. Let's hope the Ingenuir (sp) does the same
Amazing video quality! I can really tell that you are always improving and it’s fun to watch!
Thank you!
Wow, being close to Seattle, I think I'll need to put this place on by radar. This is quite neat. Also the staff member's pick for the globemaster was stunning!
The Globemaster was a great call
cant wait to see more of these types of video great to watch
Thanks!
Very nice episode! 😃 This is very fun to watch. I hope to see more of this soon 😍
Cheers
Interesting take. Enjoyed watching this. You should do this with more shops if you can!
Fun video…that new Timeworks store is super nice, and staff is very friendly.
Great video Max. This Shop is 5 minutes from my house which is trouble. I almost left there 2 weeks ago with the Longines GMT and the GS SBGA413 Four seasons Spring Dial in pink. You're right, the entire staff are huge watch nerds. Love that place. Great video. Also, saw one of your coworkers M. Preston about 6 months ago. Great guy but not a watch geek like us.
That was fun. I loved that. 👍🏻
Whoever got the Grand Seiko GMT was going to win. That watch is special.
Killer choices gents! I’m a sucker for that GS Mistflake too… What a fun episode
Yeah, that misty is a highlight 😀
Max, this was a great and fun episode. Keep up the great work!
The collection Max made is exactly what I’d go for… especially if I could keep the Aquaterra in there. Max FTW!!
Nice shop.
Wonderful collection.
The IWC Mark XX in green 🥵💯💥
Great selections by both! I'd go with Hamilton 38 Murph: $870, Omega Seamaster 300 Heritage: $6,700, Grand Seiko SBGY011: $8,100, and Longines Spirit: $3,050
I would swap the murph for an oris pointer date but that was pretty much my list
What a great time! The IWC green is a showstopper! I need some color in my dials!
The IWC in green makes my naughty parts tingle. With the Evolution 9, too. What a two watch collection right there.
🍆🍆
Bought my first G-Shock at this store. Great experience but it's dangerous having such a nicely stocked AD so close-by!
Love this. My home store! I've been here a half dozen times or so. Have my eye on the Oris Big Crown Roberto Clemente edition. The SBGM221 + the Speedy for just above 10k is such a KILLER 1-2 watch combo. Personally I give this face-off to Max.
We all win when there are cool shops like this that still exist. But head to head, you take the crown on this one. And I voted with t my wallet because I have 3 of the 4 you chose 😊
Cheers 👍
Enjoyed the hands on watch tour, entertaining!
Great video, but when the guy removed the Globemaster I was crying, I love that watch.
The TimeWorks Seattle crew is awesome.
we the viewers won that contest, we got to see some beautiful works of Art
Finally a watch shop I could go to. University place is tough though with the crime nowadays. Most of the time when you go to malls your selection's pretty limited
Really enjoyed this one 👏
One of these collabs with Teddy would be legendary!
Let's go!
Fun video, very enjoyable.
Fun video! I'd really like to see some close ups and wrist shots of the IWC Mark XX silver dial, the one they're calling the 75th anniversary. Everywhere seems to have the same PR photos.
Love these videos
Thanks 😊
Congratulations. Really nice video. Watching it from Brazil.
Hamilton Khaki Titanium is my go-to watch! Great value for the money!
What a great video❤
So much fun but I sobbed when you kicked the AT to the curb 😭
I'm still thinking about it 😢
I've got to find a place like this - watches and no jewelry. That would be SOOO refreshing!
Nice show to watch, nice watches to watch
"I'll add it to my collectionne" made me laugh quite hard for the red g shock
Awesome Vid! Both selections were good. In the spirit of the competition, going to have to give it to Gabe (although that speedy was my favorite even if cliché)
Gabe, wind, hands on!
Utilizing this store’s options, I would go Hamilton Intramatic Automatic Chrono Panda $2K retail(Chronograph), Longines Zulu Time GMT 39mm on the bracelet Slate gray/green bezel $3150(GMT), Omega Aqua Terra 150m blue face crock strap 41mm $5400(dress), Grand Seiko Spring Drive Diver SBG461 steel and steel bracelet $6100(diver). Total $16,650
Oh man… both so good. I don’t know if I can choose.
Cool concept by Benbridge! I am bummed I missed the opening of this place :-(
Great watches….I personally would mix the two up a bit.
Starting with your collection, I would exchange your G-Shock square with the Mud-master, and your Grand Seiko with the IWC Mk XX 👍😊
I bought my Submariner from Ben Bridge. Glad to see them opening watch only shops.
Good , is the speedy new model which has updated movement or the older one?
I'm going to have to head up there this week. I need some other watch people in my life.
Both great efforts, but I am a sucker for dive watches. While the Gshocks will get’er done, they lack the satisfying click of the unidirectional bezel. So, my vote is that you have to do it again!
😂
Speedmaster and Grand Seiko what a couple!
Cheers 👍
This watch store rocks !
That SBGX261 is just excellent…
Great video! I have to ask though, what clothing brands do you buy? Love the fits!
Fun, fun, fun!
"That would blow my budget" Hahahahahahahahahahaha
I live 5 mins from the UVillage. Didn’t even know the is place existed. I’m visiting this place tomorrow!
It's a bit hidden in the middle
Nice content..Loved this video..
Wow store worker won for sure!! I think he was being nice and took the GS GMT. I wonder what he would’ve picked instead
The store worker has an awesome choice!
Gabe is a boss
Your content is really nice! Could be good to see more similar videos in the future. Thank you!
Thanks Denis!
A very nice shop and two great collections, but for me Max wins. That Speedy is soooo good looking 🤩
Thanks Andrea!
The Longines Flagship Heritage is a really solid watch. I had one, sold it, sometimes regret selling it. The lugs on it are just weird though.
i am going to post the combat sub 36 soon on WatchCrunch, with the beautiful Chocolate brown Dial that does an amazing reflect to the eyes.
Didn't know IWC had launched the Mark XX in green. It's breathtaking.
Very pretty 😍
Up until recently it was boutique only
Great video, sbge285, globemaster, ... and a gshock
“Tell me why you like working here…okay let’s build a collection” didn’t care at all lol 😂
I'm gonna go with Watch Crunch option. That Omega White dial pops and had my eye at my AD. I can't buy anything for a while though. Just bought a Vacheron Constantin and Rolex Datejust 41 Mother of Pearl before Rolex quietly took it off the website.
Love the vid, Gabe is a good guy)
He's the man!
Sorry Max but you got beaten! A beautiful mark xx, the mistflake a crazy tank of a Casio and the smartest pick which was the GS quartz. Amazing pick
You should add the red g shock to your koleksyawwn
What’s the reference for the white dial aqua terra Max picked?
That grand seiko gmt 😍
The IWC looks basic and amazing at the same time.
Yeah the guy that works there definately won, no question.
Wish our Time works here in Honolulu had decent service like that
I hope someone calls me a fancy boy some day
Store guy wins.
Timeworks is a good store, i used to go to the one in Honolulu, lots of good brands in one place.
Great spot!
What was the background music?
very nice video. Small correction: titanium is not considered to be a precious metal.
