State of the Watch Collection: Jaime Lannister Edition

- Today I go over my "State of the Collection" and compare myself to the great swordsman Jaime Lannister. About 7 minutes into the video, I heard a mysterious voice in the other room; I thought Maria had come early to clean the house, but in fact, I've surmised that the voice I heard was an uninvited announcement from my Alexa device. As a result, I rushed the end of my video presentation.

I love your ramblings. Help keep our obsessions' valid!
So happy to see that you kept the gen 3 Monster! Such a comfy watch on a rubber strap. And oh so beautiful. It’s my favorite Seiko.
It is not my favorite Seiko but it is certainly my favorite Seiko Monster and possibly favorite diver under $1000. That matte dial is so unique!
@@MrJamesDuffy Monsters Rule. Still loving my 2nd Gen Orange!
You stand triumphant in your kettlebell courage corner Sir! I too have exorcised many watches over the past months, hopefully down to 5 soon and yes, they are divers. You are not alone Good knight- slay on!!!
You left off a key Jamie Lannister piece of info Lolol
I worry about you sometimes McMahon, but I think you got a very solid collection going on right now. No worries about it being all divers, that’s what works for you. I’m glad you found straps, it’s a rabbit hole on its own but makes the watches more fun.
Mr McMahon, sir your watch collection is absolutely amazing. I am glad you got yourself an SBBN049, you will never part the tunas as they are so robust and utilitarian. Great video!
LOL...love it. I am here for the monologue .
Make a one watch collection, Keep the 055 and discard the rest😁
Great collection and Happy New year McMahon!🍾 I’m with you when it comes to bracelets. Unless it is titanium or has a quick adjustment/extension feature, I generally detest bracelets. They are heavy, hard to get a good fit, and often become a vice grip in the heat of the summer. Trimmed nato straps or rubber for me. Like you, I’ve gone through collection size anxiety a lot, but I think I’ve cured myself. Life’s just too short to worry about such things. The hassle of selling watches I still like, only to get to some arbitrary collection size just doesn’t make sense. Watches are small and don’t take up much space. No more watches for me this year though. I’m done. I will force myself to be content with my collection as is.
basically a seiko collector.....not really a watch collector, but to each his own.
Great collection Jeff, even though they are nearly all Seiko Divers, there's enough aesthetic diversity to justify. I'm currently in the less is more camp, my watch box hold six watches, I personally don't think I need more than that, as a result about 70% of the collection is getting sold, with the funds going towards 1 purchase.
What keeps me from buying another watch is my Seiko Solar diver, 10.6mm tall and 38mm for my small 6 inch wrist.
Got it on a cheap pijama strap.
Keeping it on all day and all night.
I am a mechanical engineering student that loves old cars and mechanical mechanisms and yet I appreciate the engineering in my solar movement more than I do my mechanical Seiko 5 (SUE ME.)
Love ur watch collection Jeff I hav a very similar collection mainly Seiko just love em Patrick from uk 👍
I saw a review of yours on a book I was looking at on Amazon. It was a worlds colliding moment for me.
Enjoy your videos and love the seikos.
Thank you so much!
I love the orange strap game, express yourself. Also been toying with idea of 055 but the 043 is my current fave and feel like they’d fill similar spots in my collection. Maybe one day. Hopefully they’ll release another in that case shape/size but different color way.
Congratulations on finding peace of mind in this crazy hobby.
Showing off with just 6 watches 👍👍👍
Ma786sai dua yes this navy-blue SZSC003 is tremendous. It’s my 3rd 3rd Gen Monster.
Only one Citizen and it's not the Ron Swanson?
We requested it. McMahon listened. Well done.
Am I mad, McMahon, but a friend of mine put a brand new NE15 (6R15) motor in my 2013 Sumo. Yeah, my old Sumo, and it runs great!
Enjoy your rants and ramblings Jeffrey, I can totally relate. Recommend you purchase a Oris Aquis it’s definitely one of the watches for you.
I like those, but I don't like the high polish
@@JeffreyMcMahon I think of it as my “dress” diver. The beauty of dive watches is that there are so many styles. Your SLA055 fulfills this already.
Buy on the bracelet and switch out to rubber down the line 👍
6 is still a lot.
😂classic McMahon 👊. Thank you McMahon👍
You have some really nice watches and I'm also starting to like straps. Saw the FKM11 from Strapcode. It's a hybrid, stitched sail cloth bonded to FKM rubber made by MILTAT. They come in several colors. They're new, so not many reviews of them.
Thanks for the info!
Rolex GMT-Master ref. 1675- is the Colonel Kurtz watch. McMahon, your watch collection suffering deserves a 'going all the way' watch, to complete your Watch Apocalypse.
Is that David Lee Roth?
Awesome collection McMahon. You should add a king turtle one of Seiko’s best cushion cases.
Why when he has the Willard?
@@adamski101 I have both and there not the same watch.
No more SLA051/SBDX047 ? Love that watch!!
It's a great timepiece. If it were a replica of the Willard case, I would have kept it. The proportions are more Turtle and less Willard and I'm on Team Willard.
Quartz. You have Quarts…🫣
Hehehe.
Beautiful collection there Jeff.
Keep on slaying those dragons.
I’ll keep on fighting the urge.
12months watch sober now.
💪🏼
I would keep the mm300, sell the others and get a Doxa sub300
As long as you love your collection Jeff, then thats all that matters . Still think you've missed a trick by not getting seikos nicest diver the sla043. Its only 1mm smaller than the spb147 , but its not cheap. It is quality though and so beautiful. Now you love straps you have no excuse not too. Its not a big watch but its proportions are spot on. All though your collections are all seikos, just about, each diver is different enough to make your collection varied. I've got the spb051, sla043, a rado captain cook, rado original diver, tudor bb41 s and g, and a tag heuer formula one chrono in 38mm. I actually enjoy the tag , even though its small at 38mm and fairly light , it feels kinda retro cool on my wrist. My favourite watch is my sla043 , its so comfy and feels a million dollars, although my tudor isn't far behind overall. My 2 rados are awesome , and my spb051 is still special to me. When you released your video of the 051, and I'd already seen Bruce's, I just had to get one. Mines still like mint despite me wearing it for work, 4 years later, and I must have got 20 straps for it. But in my collection, my sla043 is king, it makes me smile every time I glance at it. Its like watching Jamie Lee Curtis, in the top less scene in trading places , telling Dan ackroyd, this is where I sleep, and that's where you are sleeping , lol.
I love the 043, but my 055 fills the bill nicely.
@@JeffreyMcMahon, have you ever seen a 043 in real life though ? Cos if you had, you would own one for sure. Its an amazing watch. Back in the day when you loved bracelets, then I get you. But now enjoying straps , then the sla043 is the holy grail. Its the most classy of all the seiko divers. Its as good as any rolex or omega ive ever seen, and yet its half the price, and the bezel action is just sublime. I looked at an omega globemaster at 6k on a leather deployment strap , and the 043 was as nice , that could be purchased for 3k mint, that had the same level of quality. The deep blue face and black bezel , shouldn't work, but it absolutely does, and the baby blue seconds hand just elevates it to another level. Honestly if I had 5k to buy a watch, then this seiko would be it, all day long. Mines not very accurate compared to my rados or tudor, but I don't care, I just love it , and could get it regulated, but again, I just don't care .
I'd love to acquire one
@@jeremyelliott9831 I would love to have both, a perfect 2-watch rotation.
I’m like the Bran Stark of watch collecting… relatively young but have collected most of what I want in different varieties and brands (Omega, Tudor, Seiko) but like Bran I don’t have everything I want… the ability to walk (Rolex) 🤣
What model # is that Tuna? First time I saw you wearing it was in your previous video. Did you just get it? Thanks!
That Tuna is SBBN049.
Lets be real, most WIS have a collection of virtually identical watches (divers, _maybe_ sports watches) and then pretend, lie, that the blue dial version is oh so much more different than the exact same model with a black dial. But but but DiVeRs ArE tHe mOsT vErSaTiLe wAtChEs!!1~1! Yeah, and pick up trucks are the most best everyday vehicle for their suburbanite lives.
Ultimately, buy and wear what you like. That's what is important.
Beautiful collection McMahon, Seiko divers are are my weakness, you’ve pretty much got 6 of the best there.
hope your brother is well
He is excellent. Thanks.
Any link to the rubber strap?
I use Strapcode and Island Watches.
So the 55 has replaced the MM300?
For sure it has.
where did the Uemura go =(
In this video, I don't have the Uemura. I do have the Seiko Captain Willard, which I bought on Gnomon.
Did you let go of the Uemura? If so, what was the justification? Do you prefer the Willard?
Uemura is more refined. Willard has more character in its case design.
Was this move to rubber partially instigated by the Orca!?
No. 3 Things: My love of the SPB147 and SLA055 on the strap. My weight fluctuation tiring me of bracelet adjustments, and my desire to be independent and not have to go to a watch shop for adjustments.
Ha ha clearly lost the plot 😂
It sounds like you are also on your way to slaying Jeffrey McRebuy, too! (Sorry, I didn't mean to jinx it.)
