    For a ‘newbie’, you have a large and diverse collection, which is great. Like that you buy to wear rather than for investment, which is why your collection is quite interesting. Keep it up

    Not all of these watches are to my taste, but I feel that's what makes your collection great. You clearly don't have "brand allegiance" and just buy what you like, regardless of resale value etc. I respect that and wish more of the watch community did the same. Great video!

      Thank you! Also, thank for sharing your thoughts. It is true, that I like to get what I like. I just don't see the point in buying because other people like it, if it doesn't appeal to you.

      @@watchgrok I’ve done it with my own collection at times. I’ve felt overly concerned with it having “order” or a theme and elected not to buy watches that I genuinely liked because they wouldn’t “fit”. Life is too short to rob yourself of enjoyment. Buy and wear what you want.

    Cool collection, good journey. I like how you are very honest about appreciating a watch but not connecting with it. This is something we all experience, and we only know this once we’ve had it for a short while. Like your views. One very good thing you do: You put every watch on wrist and let us see it. That is crucial for understanding the size and wearability, so do continue to do this. Thumbs up!

    I personally like a small collection of under 6 watches, I can tell that you buy what you like and your collection is amazing, that goes without saying. If it was me, I’d sell everything apart from the AP, Dark Side, Speedmaster Pro. The AP is a keeper of course and the Darkside is a very different watch good everyday but I have heard case replacements cost are 70-80% the price of the watch which has alway put me off buying it. The Speedmaster Pro is a good travel watch and lower value for when you need that.
    And I would add a VC, Patek and Lange. Not like you need to go that path and I’m an Omega fan so you could swap the Omegas for Gs’s but I don’t think the others are as good as the Darkside (very undervalued and uderrated) or as iconic as the Pro. Just a small collectors mind set but I totally get the larger collection been there myself.
    I love Rolex watches but I always go oof when a collector has clearly made the move away from them.

    • @watchgrok
      @watchgrok  Месяц назад +1

      Thank you so much for your feedback! I think those are all solid recommendations. I have made some changes but I will most likely be selling a few pieces as my tastes have changed a little and I am honing in to what I really love. I have looked at the Saxonia thin potentially, as weekly calendar and I’m waiting for a VC dual time.

    More power to you...but for me I've reached the point where anything additional just feels wasteful, even though finances are not a problem for us (knock on wood of course)
    When I did a recap for insurance purposes a couple years ago...I felt like its become excessive...now I try to keep the whole collection insured value under 40...want something new? Then something has to go.
    I've found that I wear the same 5 or 6 pieces over and over anyway 😂

      Less than a week later she drops it on me right before dinner...she had NEVER bought me a watch before.

    Insane collection! I had the Laureato blue dial 42mm for almost a year. Ended up selling it because I was trimming down the collection and something about it seemed to just not wear right on me.
    Recently got a cw12 blue dial and it’s an incredible watch for the money and I’ve finally found my issue with my old GP. It was just a tad too big. Even with a 7.25 wrist I felt the dial was just too big. If they ever make a 40mm model I’ll be first in line.

Grey market price hovering sub 60k USD. I notice you dont have any skeleton in your collection shown. I can also see a PF Tonda GMT added to your collection specifically the Steel Platinum blue dial one. Adding a micro-rotor into the collection. I am a bit biased.

    Just found your channel and really enjoyed this! Have you thought about trying a watch with an enamel dial? I’m thinking Anordain (used as their waiting list goes into 2029!) or Vitreum - a Danish micro brand that makes pieces with stunning dials. Due to the enamelling process each watch is a piece unique which is pretty awesome. Interested to know your thoughts, could be something different/new to complement your fine collection. Cheers

      I went on a speed run and acquired these in one year. I had something come up where I used watches as an escape and so my journey definitely has not been normal. I would say as you start your collection, go try on watches, and try them on again. Also find an AD where you get along with the sales person and as you get to know them, get to know the store director as well. Also stop by even though you don't buy anything, or are just waiting for a piece. The more you show your face, they more likely they will remember you, and the more likely they'll allocate something to you. I'm happy to answer any other questions you might have. I have also been thinking about making a video about the "AD journey" too, to maybe shed some light on what I've learned about how ADs work.

    I don’t understand how someone can spend large amounts of money on something that they later say doesn’t convince them or that don’t know if they’ll keep it in their collection or not, with all due respect, it seems to me that you have to be pretty stupid like buying something to not use it because it has things that you don’t like. Don’t you see it before you buy it? It’s good to see these videos to realize the stupidity of some people.

      Thanks for watching! It’s all a part of the journey of collecting watches. Sometimes you may be enamored initially, but for one reason or another you don’t connect, or your tastes change as you move farther along that road. I’m glad to hear that you are one of the few who always loves anything they buy and never changes their mind. I wish you well!
