This is an amazing concept James! Listening to all of the testimonies from these awesome creators/enthusiasts was inspiring. In addition, you've opened the door to new channels for me to watch! Thanks again James.
So awesome to see some many of my favorite creators in on place My most important watch may be my 90's neo-vintage Bulova Marine Star 100m two tone. This 38mm blue dial beauty was given to me by my late father after I graduated high school
What a great idea, James. My most important watch in my collection is a pocket watch. My dad gave it to me 2 months before he passed away last year. It belonged to my grandfather. It's a 1912 Longines. She is still working properly. Keep up the good work. Merry Christmas to you and to all your family. Cheers from Montreal.
Awesome watch Travis and thank you for your Service. That was a nice piece. It was a lot of heat in this video. Great video of amazing time pieces. I just subscribed. Great job James
Thanks for the great video. You featured some of my favorite content creators. I’ve only be collecting for about three years now, and the most important one (not my favorite) is the first watch I bought. It’s just a simple Seiko (SZSB015), but it got me started on this hobby. The reason is a lot more complicated than that, but that’s the simple answer. Thanks again!
James's, with your special guests, this is the best review of the year. It was such an easy question, but the answers were so varied. Mine is my scooby doo watch i was given as a kid for my birthday, i still have it, and i treasure it more than all of my watches i own.
Mine is my 1972 (birth-year) Syncron period Doxa SUB 300T Professional. When I was 13 years of age I read about Clive Cussler hero, Dirk Pit, and his ‘orange faced Doxa watch’, and I was smitten. I had to wait 25-years before I could buy one which has been with me since 2010.
This is truly wonderful, James. All your collaborators are brilliant (even Jody, who pushed me down this rabbit hole about five years ago!). My most important watch from 50 + in the collection is a Citizen automatic - only which was a birthday present from my Mum in 1992. Bashed to bits and sorely in need of a service, but so many memories; I will always love it. All the very best to you, yours and our fellow watch nerds (blast you, Jody!). Cheers!
My most important watch after about 1.5 years of collecting is the boderry bronze case sea turtle limited edition. This is because it was my gateway into watches (and my first automatic watch).
My grandfather's bog standard Caravelle pocket watch. I keep it on the same braided leather fob he used and everytime I hold it i see him pulling it out of his overall chest pocket and saying, 'well Rusty, how about we go down the road and see what we can get into.' RIP Papaw.
Great video James! Easy, my Casio DW5600C from 1992. First really serious watch I owned and wore it continuously for years. Got thrashed hard with 20 years painting and plastering and finally 4 bezels and a strap replacement later I have retired it from work. Still going strong and candle light still works as well. Been with me 30+ years through thick and thin. Cheers 😎
Really interesting question and cool concept for a collaboration. Not for the first time you've made me think about this thing we do from a new perspective - I hesitate to call it a "hobby" after your "is it a hobby?" video. Great to see some collaborators I'm familiar with and to be introduced to a few I wasn't.
My ratings for these selections (substitutions for names when not discernable. My primary criterion is not the aspects of the watch but the personal stories. Jody - B (too much uncertainty) Mark - A Overtime - A Bianca - C San Martin - C+ John - C+ Glycine - B+ Norman - D - Chris - B Sophie - A Esbjorn - A Andres - D James - A
Cool video, nice to see what the participants got to show. Tudor BB58 for the win 🎉🎉 Love that Mark’s father Rolex DJ. What a coincidence with Olivier, San Martin 👏👏 That Hydroconquest is the best Swiss diver for the price IMO James 👌🏼👌🏼
My 22 year old Tissot PRS200 in two-tone, bought for me by my dear old mum back in 2003 and still looks incredible. Also my Prometheus Recon-5 I bought on preorder back in 2010. I limited run of 500 and I chose number 26 as my wife is born on the 2nd and I’m on the 6th, also the 26th is my daughter’s birthdate.
Great question for a video. My most important watch in my collection is my Rolex Submariner 16610 but not for the reason you might think. I was really into vintage pocket watches but wanted a vintage wrist watch but could not risk the money as I was not in a high paying job so I decided to start selling on eBay as it is in my mind found money. I started and doing very well thinking I could buy something more. After a few months I sold enough of my old junk to pay for a Rolex something I thought I would never be able to do. It was the most fun I had trying to purchase a watch. Coincidently, having retired recently, I did it again this time for a Tudor BB 54. Same price I paid for the Rolex.
Great video James. Very hard question, but probably my favourite watch is the one given to me for my 60th birthday, last month. The latest Adina Amphibian with dark green dial. Very similar green to the Omega Seamaster 300. Just in love with it. Hope my other watches don’t find out about this. Great vid.
James, please forward to Jody: You just lost major points. A digital Casio that isn't the exact watch as your first is in the same deliberation as your fiancée's gift? You have other watches that hold sentiment - ancestors' and milestones - but the gift from your life partner to celebrate the beginning is in another universe.
You get points back by the quick acknowledgement of your sin. However, you are also responsible for "feeding my disease" by your reviews of a DWISS, which lead to 3 (!) purchases, and the RedStar Seagull 60th Anniv bronze, which is my greatest regret of 35 watches. I've matured (at 77!) and no longer as vulnerable. I've also survived total withdrawal from AliExpress - my last 6 watches are a Helm, Ikigai, Heinrich, and three WISE, all in the last 12 months.

Thanks for inviting me James and sorry I ducked the question 😂 some great creators here, some great answers, and some great watches!
Thanks for making the time to shoot for these smaller channels. Big fan of both of you 🤘
Great to see an array of different choices and the reasons why they were chosen..Thanks James. I really enjoyed taking part buddy 🤗

I am so excited to release this collaboration with some of my favorite content creators.
Thanks for the opportunity, the video is cool and entertaining 👏👏

Great video and it earned you a sub!

James, your WISE video earned you another subscriber.
i like these sort of collabs

Sophie is such an amazing spirit on RUclips & IG. Very emotional share!

Hello this is Bri from the watching James fan club ,my favourite watch is my Hamilton Khaki 42mm bought for me by my wonderful son Benjamin.
Great video James. Very hard question, but probably my favourite watch is the one given to me for my 60th birthday, last month.
The latest Adina Amphibian with dark green dial. Very similar green to the Omega Seamaster 300. Just in love with it. Hope my other watches don’t find out about this.
Great vid.
Your best vídeo of all time!
Love the bookshelves, James. What were your favorite reads this year?
I'm with Jody on this topic.
great vid, and I'm personally struggling to answer that question 🙂
Mine is a Mídio 1969 from my father
I hate my dad, he was not a watch guy, lol... but my mom gave him a databank form the 80s

Ha! Point taken, but what about my ancestors??!! 😂 Like I said, James' question defeated me.
