Adrian Barker's SHOCKING Watch Collection: Reacting!

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

What suggestions do we have for his collection? 👀

[@jrwitherite12]

Some watches don’t look good on natos like the explorers. The look best on their bracelets

[@seaweed719]

I don’t see anything shocking about his collection, which is just mainstream watches. Meh

[@marcusedcofficial]

You clicked, watched, and commented. Clickbait worked😂

[@Rodisflawless]

That's for the KZbin algorithm.

[@michaelriera6277]

You watched…mission accomplished!

[@singaporewatchcollector6262]

There are lots of people who can’t even afford ONE rolex … it’s social media that makes having Rolex feel “normal “

[@sardendibs]

@@marcusedcofficial Sure, but clickbait only works once or twice. Then you stop going to that channel.

[@chriscon8463]

I think you’re right about the BB58. I’ve got the blue one, and I love it. I think Tudor would hit a home run if they offered a line of BB58s with a black dial, silver hands, & different colored aluminum bezels. Maybe green, red, blue, silver, black & white? Upgrade the clasp to a T-Fit, too…

[@derekbrettell8121]

I picked up my Rolex Rootbeer from the Glasgow AD 2 weeks ago. Its even more gorgeous in the flesh than in pictures! It will be hard for me to top this one!

[@daniell2217]

Spot on! Waiting for mine to come in at Tourneau NYC. Definitely a watch that you have to see in person. Oisín O’Malley’s video is the only pic/vid I’ve ever seen that even comes close to doing justice to the rootbeer’s sheer beauty.

[@BAF605]

Amazed he didn't continue with his Bremont and Oris journeys. He shilled both brands when the price was right.

[@koolpep]

The entrance ticket to the secret club 😂

[@JasonMilner]

I had to double check Adrian's quote regarding Apple. What he actually said was "from what I've experienced already with this watch, their packaging, the way that they created this thing... they will be teaching the watch industry a few things about doing watches". I think that's fair. He's not simply saying Apple know watchmaking better than the established mechanical watch industry just that they approached watch production with a uniquely Apple perspective, and got certain aspects of it right in ways that the established industry could learn from.

[@ahha6304]

Come on Harrison, you can always troll over Apple Watch with H Moser & Cie Swiss Alp haha

[@velviaman3206]

Seamaster De Ville was made for the American market at the request of the US distributor . A relative of mine has one , bought by his grandfather while on a business trip to America. Gold plated/filled watches always have a steel back.

[@nicrow1369]

Glad to hear you like the root beer too. It wasn’t even on my radar until bloody Barker mentioned it. He planted that seed and a few months later I blew the budget and purchased one. It looks so beautiful in the flesh, and as a 50 yr old man I think you’re right about the silver fox analogy. It does seem a very appropriate watch for me at my age and will hopefully look right on my wrist for the rest of my life!

[@remus2001]

Please revisit this video in 10 years to see if you’ve changed your mind about kids and, more importantly, about 36mm watches. 😉

[@NeoWahNah]

Perhaps even smaller, 31mm even.

[@joshuakaplan5726]

we all know he's updating it a lot since these videos, to include the polar explorer and IWC Mark XX

[@roachasaurus2020]

I don't know which of you inspired me to get the white SMP, but I'm glad you guys always talk about it. The moment I put it on wrist, I knew it was the one.

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

Appreciate that! Fantastic choice as-well. It definitely is my most worn watch at the moment.

[@thereismoretolifethanrolex]

I've offloaded my white SMP after about 18 months as it just stopped singing to me. Alongside my other divers, it stood out head and shoulders in terms of build quality and engineering, but as a dive watch, it was just too soft. I was drawn to it, as I often am with watches, by the things others don't like; specifically, the He valve and the skeleton hands. I loved the lustre of the ceramic bezel and the magnificence of the movement, but after repeatedly passing over it in favour of the Aquis Upcycle or Captain Cook Ceramic, its day's were numbered. I will miss the box though.

[@stephengarratt8027]

Think Adrian also has IWC mark xx in his collection. Definitely a Grand Seiko wouldn't look out of place. He was responsible for me buying my black 37mm 9f quartz.

[@JL-OnwardandUpward]

Your content and presentation has been spot on!

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

My man 🤘🤘

[@PapriceP]

Rolex watches always look better in person than even in their renders. It's strange.

[@notenoughtime7274]

Great video Harrison

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

Thank you!

[@bayflowshow65]

Apple Watches will only teach watch brands on how to die through OS updates within 3 product cycles. I guess grandpa’s Seiko is the only watch working now.

[@davidevans8505]

I agree about seamaster on the rubber strap. I was going to sell mine until I put a rubber strap on it, now it’s my favorite watch.

[@jethrojacinto2798]

Agreed. 16610LV > Hulk (I'm biased because it's my first Sub)

[@trinity3422]

I don’t think you mentioned his Explorer 2 that he’s always wearing. 🤔

[@velviaman3206]

I used to follow AB when he was in London but not when in Scotland.

[@IrishScribbler]

Those pesky stalking laws can be a real pain can’t they? 😜

[@rpatrichi]

Apple Watches are the real “tool watches” of today

[@phillygrappler]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@mckinleyp13]

That root beer and seamaster on the white dial 🤩🤩🤩

[@NotoriousK_I_T]

Things that are bad about the Hamilton Khaki mechanical... Lugs are too long The watch is too flat No anti reflective coating

[@satai]

There are pretty many „greens“ out there for the kermit. I have Seen very light almost lime greens .. as bezels in those times were Not Made inhouse.

[@robynsjp]

The best of the lot is that Seamaster from his grandfather. None other has that emotional value, but that will be for Adrian only. It's the meaning of a watch that makes it worthwhile. Which means the most expensive watch on earth can mean dogshit to most.

[@davidb5720]

Am I missing something? In what way is this collection shocking? Bad title for a “ review” of a nice collection of watches

[@maxinahunt8652]

Nothing wrong with not wanting kids. Great video.

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

The problem with the BB58 is that you don’t really appreciate how good it until it’s gone. I know of 3 of my friends that ended up re purchasing the BB58 😊😊😊

[@williamgoggin3633]

So true i stopped rotation of my watches keeping bb58 blue on wrist all summer catches the light brilliant watch

[@michaelriera6277]

So true on the BB58

[@TheLute70]

Really interesting take on the Apple watch. After thinking about it I completely agree. It's a timepiece, but no soul.

[@tlmcelhan]

There's NOTHING shocking about this collection. Almost all of the value of the collection is in Rolex and he owns an Apple Watch. sounds pretty typical to me....

[@anthonyonline4740]

im so glad i have the ability to not watch this video anymore. it makes me want to rip my ears off and store them in my watch box. please dont associate yourself with the great Adrian.

[@cnaarndt]

OK video, as Adian has an everyday practical collection, but the "Pug" coffee mug is the best [I have a similar one]... Pugs rule!

[@evilmad]

how can you review Adrians watches without the explorer ii

[@Paappi94]

Totally agree to what you said about smart watches. They have no soul 6:04

[@stevenschoenfeld2331]

I really enjoyed this video and your commentary! I am totally with you about Apple "watches" no sole and although I am definitely an Apple guy,refusing to use anything but an iPhone and a couple of Macs as my laptops, I refuse to have anything to do with an Apple watch! Give me mechanical or give me death!

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

Great Video ❤ Adrian’s collection is fantastic, well rounded .

[@Rosscotron]

Agree with the other screen of a smart watch, I have now just totally gone to using my Apple Watch in the gym and that’s it. It totally takes over your life makes you wear it all the time with the silly challenges and dopamine hits. Worse than cancer

[@jamespalsson746]

Adrian is verbal about having extremely boring taste in watches on his(?) podcast, and he is not wrong.

[@addicz2]

Apple watch? 😂

[@hugohernandez3651]

People complaining about Adrian's Rolex watches...3...2...1...🤣

[@timemeasured9137]

If I’m going to go digital, I’m going Casio! Sorry Apple.

[@rickhammel9541]

honestly, I'd rather buy San Martins and use the rest to keep buying Apple stock. Expensive watches are a great example of the law of diminishing returns.

[@jdmtl1041]

Y you didn’t have him live on your channel!!! Plus his your friend. Wired…..🥴 Sorry his collection rocks…

[@zdnice]

All watch KZbinrs should be required to get manicures.

[@chipmacgill]

I ditched my Apple Watch, waste of money since you get stuck into always wanting the newest one, and since I give those fuckers like $10K every 2 years on Computers, phones and tablets they can have their watch. Too many distractions for a bunch of health readouts you really don’t need, there are a lot of “wearables” out or coming out that give more than enough critical info. Ours rings and similar products and wrist bands that allow you to wear a “real” watch. I like Adrian as an influencer, his charm, wit and knowledge are all welcome. His collection is a bit pedestrian, but it’s real. Let’s face it, our collections are reflections of what we like limited by the money we can commit to them. No one needs 10 Rolex, most look the same from a distance, now the dial differences are intriguing and that makes me move from SS Daytonas, to precious metal, of course then I wont be buying as many. Real 1st World problems.

[@weeleung6043]

Who cares about A.B.'s watch collection?😂 I bet people like you ,A.B.,etc. jump the Rolex waiting list.

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

A lot of people. No no, I don’t have a Rolex and haven’t joined any waiting lists.

[@weeleung6043]

@ChisholmHunterOfficial "A lot of people"??????? All you watch KZbinrs are a bunch of pompous know alls.

[@mdo5121]

Resale value on a bronze Khaki Hamilton WHO CARES...will it make you better off either way...I say not....just enjoy

[@Olddirtytiger]

You need a child to pass your watches down to.... 😅

[@affegorilla1299]

Not my collection expect the 300M. Kind of boring. Cool guy though.

[@jsytac]

Can’t stand the Hamilton. Far too busy a dial; I’d buy the CWC every day over the Hamilton.

[@bennytudor5313]

Omega seamaster bracelet is so ugly I wouldn’t even admit having it.

[@meetseth3]

Rootbeer is sexy

[@ditmerk]

Lazy video.. At least make the video with him

[@js0988]

Rolex, the Apple of watches. Overpriced, over hyped and underperforming. Not worth it! It costs $10 to make an iPhone, not worth $1400. It costs $500 to make a Rolex Submariner, not worth $10000!

[@Mackster248]

It absolutely does not cost $10 to make an iphone. Not sure where you are getting these figures from.

[@js0988]

@@Mackster248 You're right, it probably isn't even that much. If YOU go and buy every single item needed for an iPhone with taxes etc. It comes to $180. But the Chinese company that makes iPhones buy in bulk without taxes. And because Apple uses 5 year old components from Samsung etc. they're basically free.

[@Mackster248]

@@js0988 $180 seems about right. But remember that’s just the materials. That’s not even factoring in the overhead stuff like paying the engineers for iOS, or engineers for design. Hell, doesn’t even factor in marketing. And that’s just a few. All of that is built into the price.

[@omerturk9462]

He has got a small simple collection, Poor man collection, What is shocking about it

[@michaelriera6277]

I’m shocked at how many people viewed. Brilliant!

[@gyrfalcon7332]

I appreciate your perspective on watches but the “soul” argument is over used and pretty darn annoying. But I support your right to say it! 🥸
