11 LUXURY WATCHES - SOTC Collection Review 2023

[@emmanuelrodriguez5044]

Beautiful collection and good explanation on how you use them, I was reading the comments and I’m amazed of the level of envy of some people when they probably can’t have any of your watches, if Rolex is what you like the most well congrats you have an amazing collection

[@aussieexpatwatches]

Thank you so much!

[@metro2171]

Great collection your experience wearing them And the connection you have with them is remarkable Thanks for sharing your great collection ,enjoy them

[@theenavybluemonster]

OMEGA got scammed. They weren’t the scammers. The Speedmaster was pieced together from assorted vintage components - and some fake parts - and it was purchased by Omega for its museum, on the advice of its then museum head. The allegations are that the then museum head was in cahoots with the seller of the watch. There were 3 ex-employees who were running the scam.

[@aussieexpatwatches]

So an omega employee commissioned the watch, then in their own professional capacity at omega they certified it, then omega purchased it for themselves at a public auction, then made a pr statement fauning over how much love and investable a speedy is now (knowing that it was NOT a collector that bought it and it was themselves). There are almost no elements or people involved that are NOT omega in this scandal. And these weren't low level employees, these are directors of the company! This is Omega.

My most worn watch is the 124270 Explorer. It can very easy be a 1 watch collection. Very versatile. Awesome update with the collection.

[@aussieexpatwatches]

Good choice!

[@BLR653]

Dude you hit the nail on the head with the BLNR and the Explorer 1! You got it exactly right for the vibe for each. Bravo.

[@aussieexpatwatches]

Ha, thanks man. Yeah, what these watches are "intended" for is really irrelevant. I'm totally going to play golf with a 1908 once I get one!

[@RasmusF1983]

Taste is individuel. I enjoyed the video and your collection is impressive no matter if you share the taste or not. What impress me the most is that basically all your watches, choices and reflections are the exact oposite of my own ☺️ Good speed and happy new year! 🥳

[@aussieexpatwatches]

Well said! Yeah in general I'm not... perhaps building a collection, i don't.. fill gaps. It just comes down to me liking the watch. Redundancy does happen but it doesn't stop me enjoying 2 pelagos for instance or 2 subs.

[@timemycollection]

Great vid 🙌🏾 - I wish i could have half 🙌🏾

[@aussieexpatwatches]

Dont do it! Its pure degeneracy. I should have stuck to just the sub!

[@dielalex89]

Absolutely love your collection - lots of great pieces…. You and I have some twins (we both have a panda and a hulk) Best of luck for your platinum Daytona endeavor - you’ll love it more than you think trust me (have owned platinum Rolex before, amazing)

[@aussieexpatwatches]

Thank you man! Hopefully it happens!

[@itsmedravfrom1987]

Great collection. Did your Pelagos FXD came with that strap? Mine came with a similar color but velcro strap. If not, where did you get that one. Thanks!

[@aussieexpatwatches]

Just from amazon. It was less than $15. An elastic nato.

[@jimmycosco5373]

you were doing so well until the end, where you really said not many people will know what this is (about the Daytona panda) I spilt my drink with laughter, one of the most iconic Rolexs in the world lol

[@aussieexpatwatches]

I'm really tallying about completely uninformed people. For them, many think rolex = gold watch. Individual models, they wouldn't be able to make one.

[@jeffreywee2895]

Absolutely awesome collection 💪

[@watches2329]

I love to see someone who has essentially every Rolex sports model still appreciating the Tudor FXD… I have a Sub 124060 but damn I still want that FXD so bad .. is it too repetitive though?

[@aussieexpatwatches]

It might be, but im the worst person to ask "is it too repetitive" with 5 divers, 2 subs and 2 pelagos in the collection lol

[@simonmiles1972]

Too many modern Rolex sports pieces for me, feels like a lot of overlap. Undeniable quality, all great individually. But very one dimensional as a collection. I kept waiting for something different but it didn’t come.

[@gaussjordan0]

A collection for others attention, so sad

[@aussieexpatwatches]

I would agree. I'm really just have a collection of one and dones.... a whole bunch of them 😆

[@dmoneydmoney6050]

@@gaussjordan0stfu and enjoy the watches. This man is showing HIS collection. There is no reason to be offended by it you sally. You should show your collection so we can all get a good laugh to counteract the negativity you bring. Go lay down and sleep it off bud👍

[@auricgoldfinger8249]

Nice. I have a Hulk, black/black GMT steel, black/black GMT full yellow gold, 40mm Yachtmaster rhodium dial, 36mm datejust, 42mm Seamaster 300. And a couple moonswatches which I actually like for what they are! The Datejust and Seamaster are going to be sold. Hoping to add a batman, pepsi and also i want a full yellow gold daytona with “pikachu” dial. And of course a panda - then I’m probably done with Rolex and hopefully get into Patek (5726,5712r)

[@gaussjordan0]

Yes, then you wake up sweaty 😂

[@auricgoldfinger8249]

@@gaussjordan0 haha indeed

[@aussieexpatwatches]

Patek game is hard... i like the pikachu, but i want to stick to white metals if not stick to non PM.

[@auricgoldfinger8249]

@@aussieexpatwatches patek game is indeed hard - I don’t think i need to worry about it for a long time. I’m “on the list” for a 5726 but that means nothing!

[@aussieexpatwatches]

@@auricgoldfinger8249 good luck!! I visited my patek dealer, it was pretty clear that a "sports" model isn't in the picture for me. And ultimately, the patek "sports" models are about as sports suitable as an Urus is for off roading.

[@nads7865]

I'm in agreement with your GMT comments. I got my 41 Sub a few months ago and I was thinking I would get a GMT next but I see so many similarities to be worth adding. I think the exp1 may be a better every day wearer for my casual style.

[@aussieexpatwatches]

I think the labels we give these watches, like "sports, dress, diver, field" and their stated purposes really aren't that useful anymore. I find diver more useful and rugged for hiking than either of my explorers. I find the explorer 1 more dressy and likewise the daytona. If you have a sub, I'd try pair with something that goes "higher". That could be a datejust, daytona, yacht-mast, air-king, explorer 1. They offer a little more flare.

[@nads7865]

Interesting point of view. I’m a sucker for a ceramic bezel which to me elevates the watch, but in your opinion the Exp1 is the more elevated piece? Do you attribute this to the steel bezel or the slim elegant design? Sub feels like a machine in a good way.

Talking about scratches, have you look at new yacht-master in titanium. I know it's big, but does it feel bigger then explorer ll?

[@aussieexpatwatches]

The YM Ti is apparently a collectors piece.. there seem to be less of them than even the le mans daytona. Its a unicorn! I will likely never see one in any capacity...

[@Aziz_H_K]

New subscriber, great collection review! I like your watch case…what brand is it?

[@aussieexpatwatches]

Awesome thanks for subbing. It's a nanuk 910.

[@martinharrison4245]

Amazing collection , but too similar . Try a seiko sla043 or something like a rado captain cook , a breitling or even a tag heuer . Just to give you some perspective over rolex. Your collection is a bit like eating lobster every night , maybe try fish and chips for a change , you might be surprised how good they are .

[@aussieexpatwatches]

I do have my "non-luxury" collection. But actual wrist time in that space is the seiko sarb017.

[@ulasyaman4256]

very good collection congrats. on the other hand you need seamaster immediately 😊

[@aussieexpatwatches]

Yes! Thank you! Pretty loaded up with divers but always room for another diver lol.

[@Watchmeifyoucan]

All of them area amazing watches!

[@aussieexpatwatches]

Thank you!! Some are saying it's boring collection but... I dont care 😅

[@BLR653]

HOLD ON A MINUTE.... dude breezes right past the gold Daytona for the wife! Lets see that badboy! I think she got the better end of the deal man but I do love my BLNR as well. Probably the best looking steel sports model that the Crown makes. Great collection.

[@aussieexpatwatches]

I try not to think about it lol. Make's it easier to accept.

[@apurbaroychowdhury2584]

Dude, you have problems. I understand you don't like omega. Each to their own but do you realise you sound ridiculous? At one point, you mentioned,"typical omega watches, don't align"(it's not normal for them to be misaligned, they will fix it if you take it back to them) Secondly, you said, "tudor has better chrono movements" I mean..... Lmao It takes only one search on reddit to know how much problem tudor has with their qc! Honestly your collection doesn't surprise me, typical rolex fanboy. I wonder if you would own as many Tudors if they weren't sister company of rolex?

[@aussieexpatwatches]

I have a friend that was denied service for a misaligned chrono hand "it's within spec". If you think the 3861 holds a candle to the B01 then there's really no debate to be had.

[@exploretheinternet2334]

​​@@aussieexpatwatches About your friend: was it an omega boutique or some ad? Because as far as i know, omega boutiques do fix it for you. Again from what i know, it's very common for brands to say,"it's within spec." Sad but true. Not just omega. Tudor,breitling,every single brand uses that to not take responsibility for their bad qc. Sad to know, your friend had a bad experience though. About the bb chrono: bo1 isn't even a tudor movement. It's literally in the name, BO1. But you're talking about the looks of the movements, sure it's better looking.

[@aussieexpatwatches]

@@exploretheinternet2334 It was a multi brand AD. Sure the b01 wasn't originally developed by tudor / kinisi, but it's a far better movement and at about half the price.

[@exploretheinternet2334]

​​​@@aussieexpatwatches that's why they refused to fix it. Omega boutiques are a different story. If your friend still has the watch, ask him to take it to an omega boutique. People say, buy watch at a discount but it's cases like your friends' where buying from a boutique is the smarter idea. You have that peace of mind. Bo1 is a "far" better movement, in terms of what?! Looks? Sure. Power reserve? Yes. But in every other metric, it's inferior. I mean come on! 3861 is way more capable technically and it has way more heritage( if you care).

Yeah... I have a diverse collection of Rolex and tudor steel (and titanium) sports watches 😆

[@WatchReporter]

The Colonel grades your collection a solid C. The shitters and redundant steel "sports" are dragging you down. Keep daytona, GMT, yachtmaster. DUMP everything else asap, and get one HEAVY HITTER like day date 40 white gold. Spend some time w those spreadsheets to anal ize this complex transaction. You're welcome. If you need the colonel to walk you through an indepth analysis, we can do this on a livestream and give you a solid beating.

I love your channel! And we absolutely have different tastes lol. Maybe we should do the shellacking on neutral ground, @YoungBrando

You have the money for a great collection but you decided to go with mainly boring and the same pieces. Most of your Rolexes are the same. You need some variety.

Just like 1million other collections rinse and repeat.I have no problem with any of the watches but not one shows any critical thought in buying.This collection would be llifted as a whole if you had a few pieces that were off the beat and path not everything has to be a hyped model or a watch that sits in everyones collection.
