    Didn't know you had a Sturmanskie. I've been big into Russian/Soviet watches for some time. It's a treasure trove that most watch lovers seem to be oblivious to.😀

      Yeah even Vostok is persona non grata right now .. although that probably means it is a great time to pick them up on the cheaper end.

      I bought my first Bostok/Vostok watches in 1990 whilst travelling through the then USSR. I still have one out of the 6 I purchased. Gave the others away as gifts. Yes the “original” is still ticking away keeping great time. Since then I’ve added another 8 Vostoks. Under the radar & bulletproof!😎💪🏼

    Nice collection! I have a Seiko SBDC127 (Blue dial MM200). I also got it through Buyee preowned for a great price. It looks premium but is still toolish. The 6R35 in it also runs +2. This is my current favorite. Happy New Year!

    I really can’t wait to get the speedy. I have a 5 digit sub, bb58, omega AT and tissot PRX but I almost want to get rid of some of them just to have the new speedy. But all my watches mean so much to me so they won’t go anywhere.

  • @KeepingWatchUK
    @KeepingWatchUK 6 месяцев назад

    The Sub is your best watch & good on you for wearing it regularly & not being too afraid to scratch it up. But that said, why not then wear your next best more often too (Reverso, Speedy, Exp & Exp2) Life is too short imho to leave them in the watch box in favour of the Chinese junk. All the best.

    it’s always easy from the outside, but now you have put some wear on your Sub i would just carry on. I’d focus on your box of 6 at the end.. the Doxa and Reverso as dress watches, the Speedmaster and all three Rolexes are suitable for any occasion, let the rest go and plan towards something else really special.. maybe a gold watch, a Patek or something really different.
    fwiw as beaters i think there are a couple of Casio models which are different level. looking at one myself.

    When you replace the bracelets on the more expensive watches with straps, do you only take high quality straps or whatever fits?

    • @WatchGeek
      @WatchGeek  7 месяцев назад +1

      I have a small wrist, so I chase straps that are 115 on the long part. Most come from Aliexpress, and the ones on the Reverso, King Seiko, Laurel and Zenith ate custom made to be 110 long part

    • @WatchGeek
      @WatchGeek  7 месяцев назад

      It's a 114270, and the strap is just a generic ebay two piece nylon. I bought it years ago. It comes with metal rings around holes, but I took then out as they corroded 😂.

  • @af8828
    @af8828 3 месяца назад

    Your grail box is nice but that KS and that Laurel are just... vintage Seikos are something else man. It pains me to see a country punished via the Plaza accords for being too industrious and innovative. Being a US client state really can be more lethal than even being an enemy sometimes. It makes me wonder how advanced Yugoslavia could have been; what kind of watchmaking could have developed had NATO not been such a violent and aggressive force.

    • @WatchGeek
      @WatchGeek  7 месяцев назад +1

      My King Seiko kind of satisfied my need for a proper "Grammar of Design". I do plan on adding a Spring Drive GS some time in the future, BUT so far, ALL of them are waaay too chunky and thick for what they are supposed to be! My KS is under 10mm, and current GS models are 12,5 to 13,5 which is unacceptable for a dressy watch. I did however discover the SBGY011 which fits perfectly into what I'm after, but we'll see. Maybe 2024 is the year I add one finally 😁

    • @deech2086
      @deech2086 7 месяцев назад

      Very nice. I have the SBGP017 (Sea of Clouds) and the SBGA469 Spring Drive. 10.7mm and 12.5mm respectively. Both of which I love and will never part with. The 011 is a beauty, a bit rich for my blood. I use my HAQ SOC as a dress piece without the large cost. I had the SBGH205 Mt Iwate which is a stunner as well but had a good deal come up for a trade +, for a nice Pam 111, so that left.

  • @micnolmadtube
    @micnolmadtube 7 месяцев назад

    Your reasoning of why owning a watch is so true in my opinion. Of course any reason is valid because
    it is up to the owner alone to judge and if people want to buy for investment that is their prerogative. I own it because I love it. Reasons will never be for investment for me.

    • @robertolaggo9141
      @robertolaggo9141 7 месяцев назад

      Agree. If you are buying stuff as investment it must be safely placed somewhere, you can’t enjoy it yourself. Same as money in your bank account. You won’t appreciate it unless you’ll start spending it. Same thing with watches. It’s useless if locked in a safe😃
