worst watch ever!!

Currently wearing the Bulova Oceanographer in two tone rose gold & brown. 😎👍🏼

And not even a Junghans here? What expertise is that? A far thinner watch I know and yet in the reasonable price range is the Junghans Meister Driver with its 7mm. Or at least the very popular Max Bill which is 9mm. All glass included. Much thinner than Baltic !

Love your channel! I should mention that the Bulova Racer Chrono is using the Miyota OS21 quartz movement while the Lunar Pilot has the Bulova proprietary NP20. So, unfortunately no 262 high frequency quartz in there and It's a shame 😞

Sure that last seiko is nice..but the price isnt..if 1 is gonna spend rhat much id prefer saving up more and getting a grand seiko..2nd hand in good condition if need be. Ok 2k v 6k is a big difference but id suggest theres no comparison overall quality wise of rhe warches. The g s leagues ahead

Gotta agree on the edc front & the watch but obviously being in the Uk alot of these colabs mean nothing needless to say i have'nt visited the James site , i also rate the Citizen but for the same reasons as yourself & not being able to swap out that two tone bracelet makes it a plain No. Good luck for 25' .

Isn’t timex Chinese ? Paying that much is ridiculous. How do you know it’s the best since you didn’t have in hand ?

This was my first year of watch collecting - and wow was it fun! I've enjoyed watching your content throughout the year! Looking forward to more in 2025. Happy New Year!

I think that Mido's TV Big Date was a significant release for 2024. Well, it was launched in 2023, but that initial launch had a faulty movement, which Mido has since corrected (look for "[ETA] C07651+" identification behind the balance wheel). For some regions, like Canada, we didn't get that initial launch until Mido produced their corrected Caliber 80 Big Date. So it really found its feet in 2024. And if anyone still wants to quibble over the year, then let's say that the TV Big Date model in chocolate & rose gold PVD is the looker for the year. It's a fresh design, sporty and elegant, giving a big date/grande date along with degradé (or fumé) dial at an affordable price. They also launched their TV 35, a smaller model with the same design but with a conventional date window (not a big date movement).

Happy new year, and a very big thank you for all the terrific content in 2024 👍

Seiko's design languages impress me at every price point. Thank you for taking up the challenge! And Happy New Year!

First

Great video. I found it by looking for a review on this watch. What is your wrist size?

Great video! What strap did you use with the Presage?

I like my 6mm Daniel Wellington with classic leather strap.

I think you should go to Glashütte and also the Longines museum in Switzerland!

They only need to show one watch. They all look the same 😂

The new Citizen Suratto is about 5mm and $300. I hope they come out with more thin models. It's an ecodrive quartz and does not have a seconds complication for those annoyed by deadbeat seconds.

Nice detailed shots

Very interesting video as usual, I am moving to Thailand next year,and plan on going to Japan to see our nephew for a holiday, I will definitely pester my wife to go to the museum.

👍👍👍

Great report on the Seiko Museum, which I also had the pleasure of visiting a few months ago. I highly recommend checking out the VOGA Watch Museum in Gotsu City, Shimane Prefecture. Established in 2017 by the legendary watch dealer and collector Toshio Masu, the museum showcases his private collection of over 800 vintage watches, including some exceptionally rare pieces in pristine condition.

Beautiful video!! Those shots of the Astron were amazing!! Been wondering something.. So, In 1931, Rolex invented and patented the world's first self-winding mechanism with a Perpetual rotor. In 1969 Seiko invented the Astron. So, In theory we had 38 years between rotor and quartz and roughly 55 years from quartz to now. Ok, So are pre calculator technologies like a rotor watch the same as an abacus compared to a Texas instrument calculator? Are we over romanticizing non-quartz a little bit? Keep up the great work!!

Ow god. If you are still in Japan you should make a video looking at 2nd hand watches in hardoff. I have seen some videos and its crazy what some stores have and the prices

This channel has helped me understand that wrist size completely impacts the watches that we can truly enjoy. Having a 19cm (7 1/2) wrists I have just unsubscribed as this channel has fantastic quality and well thought out content but however as stated previously this channel is for the smaller wristed and is a gem for that group. All the best in 2025!

Amazing Collection, Fun Video, and a great way to end the year!

you would do well in avoiding any chinese product if you're looking for quality.

A notable addition to the list would be the Japanese microbrand Azusa, particularly its Orthodoxy-R model. This timepiece stands out for its rare zaratsu polishing-a hallmark of refinement typically reserved for significantly more expensive models, such as those from Grand Seiko. Priced at approximately EUR 615 in Japan and around EUR 800 in Europe, the Orthodoxy-R offers in my view offers exceptional craftsmanship and sophistication at a fraction of the cost.

and make sure you do own one, you will not regret it , i pulled the trigger earlier this year and i do not regret it they are fantastic

where is raymond weil

The fact that you don't have any brand connections is a bonus to be honest

Hell yeah mega drive!

I have both these watches and I find them amazing and good lookers. Tempted to go for Bel canto as well but not sure “ The management “ (wife) would be to impressed so I need to put some sweetening in first.

That bb54 is the best tudor ever made Imo.Its truly something special for a real reason.Being The perfect combination and balance of Vintage and Modern.The interpretation of a perfectly symmetrical design element that it is All in one, and one for all.a perfect daily wearer of u only had to have one single watch that would last you for the rest of ur life and that u would be proud to pass down to ur Sons and grand Sons in the future.

5:34 Why? I own this one, can’t see anything wrong with it 🤷🏼‍♂️

Liked the format. Geez you have a lot of watches. The citizen dial is very nice. Will look into that model. The yema also caught my eye. Perhaps a second or 2 longer with close ups woulda been better..but when covering so many watches I appreciate need to move it along. Cheers for the vid

Efficient and effective job rating this awesome large collection - thoroughly enjoyed your insights!👌

Loving the concise wisdom of this video.

As a jewelry (and watch) fan, I like to consider selling losses akin to rental fees. I joke that I rented the piece and enjoyed it. Didn’t have to pay full price.

Nice video. My favorites are Seiko Baby snowflake titanium. And the European glacier blue Seiko Alpinist. Others I admire are the Herbelin Newport for its shape and interesting lugs and Charlie Paris which nobody ever reviews. I hope to save for one of these for next birthday. I think after studying watches for a year I enjoy it much like art. But for owning I would rather spend money on my car. Food. Suits. And cologne. But I enjoy seeing new watches like viewing art.

I love this brand. I have both mechanical and Eco-Drive timepieces, and they are fantastic.

Great Video. Subscribe more than deserved. Keep going

Hello and thanks for this video. As usual, really well made with georgous pics and interesting comments. By the way, I didn't think you had so many watches. Perhaps a bit too much to give a proper wrist time to each one. ;)

Thx for the great content!

Feliz natal

I rewound the video when i saw the yellow eléctrico (trolly) then i saw the aquarium and thought could this be the oceanário.... Then i saw the blue white tiled facade of a building and said this has to be Lisboa! Actually considering one for the same area and climate. I want one watch just to wear thriugh all my adventures in Portugal. Did you have to pay additional taxes when you received it?

Sounds like a pretty good place to buy watches. Sure, you might have to be patient to get what you want .. but 85% off or even 30 or 40 % off is worth waiting for. I reckon id end up with an impulsive putchase or 2 aswell with those kinda discounts

Not the pt of the video i know.. However i think all this good for the planet stuff is b s. Selling a few watches made from different materials is gonna have f all effect on the environment.. Just a marketing angle imo. A million more effective ways of reducing damage done to rhe environment. As you kinda alluded to. Anyways now that ive got that off my chest. Some really nice shots there..and not a bad looking watch for as you say beachy stuff. .

Beautiful scenery throughout the video.
