    Love seeing videos where people talk about consolidating their collection and why! Much more interesting and difficult than continuing to buy more and more.

    • @stevepapa
      @stevepapa  8 месяцев назад +3

      Definitely! I need to make a video talking about the reasons why buying watches isn't necessarily the best thing you can do.

    Great to see you back, Steve! And the beard is👌🏼on you. Fellow Mihanikos owner and glad to see it staying in the collection with our Greek heritage. Yes, less is more as I too am thinning the herd. Please keep going/growing. You have everything it takes to be one of the watch review/podcast greats, and I don’t say that lightly. A part of Teddy’s cool kids club in no time. Let’s make it a great 2024. Yassou! 🎆🍾

      Thanks for the support brother! How are you liking the Mihanikos? I think it's a great wild card watch for any collection! Teddy is missing out on _my_ cool kid club hahaha!

    Great collection. Love the Tudor royal, it’s gorgeous I haven’t even considered it before. Love how honest you were about purchases you didn’t feel anything about rather than trying to ascribe value to Randi pieces. Subbed

    I felt in love with the Tudor Royal two tone, but for my wrist I think will be better the 38mm version that unfortunantely does not have the day window

      Thank you! I have an engineering background! You'll get there, just have to slowly save up and focus on the pieces you want! Remember, you have your entire life to collect watches, no need to rush to your next piece.

    Hi, great videos btw.
    It seems that you sold the Ianos avyssos. Can you tell me why, as I was thinking buying one. I would appreciate your honest opinion.

    • @stevepapa
      @stevepapa  7 месяцев назад +1

      I traded it it to buy the Mihanikos but I've been looking for a decent olive dial Avyssos. I loved it when I had it!

  • @Eric_Nielsen
    @Eric_Nielsen 8 месяцев назад

    My take (just an opinion): keep the Seamaster & Seiko GMT, sell everything else, buy a Panerai pre-owned.

    • @stevepapa
      @stevepapa  8 месяцев назад

      I don't think I could split with my Tudor! If anything I'd keep the Seamaster and Tudor and sell the rest, but yes Panerai on the aftermarket is a must!

  • @AndyAdventuring
    @AndyAdventuring 8 месяцев назад +2

    That is 100% Goku -- though the strap suggests Vegeta.

    Hi, just subscribed, interesting collection. I get your desire to consolidate, but I have yet to sell any of my own. Too many "speak to me", so I compromise and just buy another watch box instead . Yiasou

  • @musik4u343
    @musik4u343 8 месяцев назад

    Fyi...that's goku on the dial not vegeta hahaha I'm an actual dragon ball fan. If that specific what you're wearing is called the Vegeta it's only because it's probably him looking through his power scanner at Goku but the person on the actual watch is not Vegeta at all not even close LOL

    • @stevepapa
      @stevepapa  8 месяцев назад +1

      Oh I know Goku is on the dial, as observed through Vegeta's scanner. On the back of the strap and watch is Great Ape Vegeta. The strap on the front is Vegeta's armor with the Saiyan Royal Crest.
