Top 3 Favorite Watches in the Collection - Horological Musings

[@petewilson2314]

I love how Seikos popped up here knowing that you guys have seen a LOT of watches

[@BruceWilliams]

Yes, a well made Seiko brings too much enjoyment not to snag a top three position

[@Fuzzy-zk8ix]

Well done fellas! Interesting that you both have a left-hander in your top 3. I really enjoyed Rob's story about not knowing which GMT he was getting until the AD opened the box. Love it.

[@scottwexlin6456]

I just commented the same. And I like the fact that Bruce is wearing his Pelagos. I just picked one up from my A.D. about a month ago although it is the blue 42 mm model.

[@scottwexlin6456]

Me too

[@BruceWilliams]

And neither of us are left handed haha.

[@jeremydahm2124]

The Radiomir is so underrated. So class.

[@SaltyWatchCollector]

10000000%

[@BruceWilliams]

I agree

[@bngr_bngr]

I like it with a California dial.

[@JohnnyJohnJon83]

Wish I had bigger wrists to rock one .

[@russellseah2347]

What's the model reference? Pam992?

[@Sovereign_sparky]

Can't believe the day date 40 didn't make the cut.

[@michaeledwardlenzi]

I like this ongoing discussion series a lot. Well done.

[@SaltyWatchCollector]

Thanks so much for watching. It's a ton of fun to do these

[@BruceWilliams]

Much appreciated!

[@HowardMeyers-m8g]

Glad to see Brellum recognized. It is value packed sophisticated horology which stands head and shoulders above what is available for even twice the price from ADs.

[@IbexIronworks]

I love the Radiomir! It's nice they are expanding the 40mm offerings. Like you mentioned, you can get Panarai for like 30% below retail right now. Who cares what's trendy, it's a beautiful watch!

[@musik4u343]

The vids u do with ur buddy are the most enjoyable thay you produce..do more

[@scottwexlin6456]

This was a good one. I’m waiting on a two tone root beer myself. My AD seems confident he can get me one without too long of a wait.

[@SaltyWatchCollector]

Love that root beer😍😍

[@BruceWilliams]

The perfect watch, but softened and warmed with the gold. Excited for you

[@carlosalvarez4641]

Love Panerais!❤

[@chuckgladfelter]

I have the black Pelagos FXD. It's my favorite watch next to my white dial, orange bezel Planet Ocean.

[@tylersaltmarsh9025]

Panerai’s are so underrated, even within the hobby. It’s almost to the point that no collection is complete without a variation from the brand. Or at least have owned one at one point.

[@SaltyWatchCollector]

Wholeheartedly agree

[@Geniusclicks]

LHD 👑👑 👑👑

[@nedflanders3769]

Not sure I could name my top 3 favorite watches. Maybe my Speedmaster, my AquaTerra and my Seiko SPB240. I have the SPB411 and it’s beautiful but the 6R54 movement inside runs like chit.

[@mb9472]

I've registered my interest with the Sprite. i'm keeping my fingers crossed. I have a Navigator from 69 in lovely condition. It was a grail watch for me a few years back, I was made up when i found it.

[@BruceWilliams]

They are getting hard to find in great condition

[@WatchUnwind]

Wearing a Panerai is an amazing feeling. It is so like any other watch. 300m of water resistance but no bezel, no screw in crown, flip lock, minimalist dial, manual wind, 8 day power reserve, super comfortable strap everyone should try it

[@bngr_bngr]

I just took off the flip lock.

[@mikeymezer]

The radiomir’s water resistance ranges between 50-100m

[@zman8340]

Yeah where is he getting 300 , their wr is laughable.

[@WatchUnwind]

@@zman8340 not on their older models

[@WatchUnwind]

@@mikeymezer not on their older models and I was talking about my personal luminor Marina 8 day

[@dr.kevinmoore8889]

It would be extremely difficult for me to choose a top three, but if I had to choose I would say that they would be my Vacheron Constantin Overseas 4520v Silver Dial Rolex Daytona Two Tone 126503 Parmigiani Fleurier Tondagraph GT Big Date Annual Calendar Chronograph

[@SaltyWatchCollector]

Those are some absolute bangers! 🤯 Great taste

[@dr.kevinmoore8889]

@SaltyWatchCollector Thank you!!!

[@BruceWilliams]

I echo Rob's comment here. Heavy hitters!

[@dr.kevinmoore8889]

@@BruceWilliams thank you as well Sir!

[@danieltaylor4475]

Do you still have the gold Rolex, not in your top 3?

[@daniell2217]

My thoughts/question exactly.

[@BruceWilliams]

Yes, still have it, still wear it, still love it. Just not top 3

[@danieltaylor4475]

@@BruceWilliams wow, big call for that sexy beast not to be top 3! Glad you still enjoy it. 👏

[@justingalore123]

Not the day date?! 😮

[@BruceWilliams]

Number 4. Still loved but not quite as much as the others right now

[@realalexmackenzie]

Big fan of the Brellums. I stumbled across them early in my collecting journey and they're still on my radar. One of these days! Also, thumbs up for the 45mm Radiomirs. I'm a big Panerai guy, and the 45mm is probably my favorite overall. Panerai DNA that still retains a larger look without actually being oversized and out of step with current trends, at least for the larger wristed. I've got a PAM 190 in stainless with the Panerai variant of the JLC 877. Incredible movement to interact with and a pleasure to look at through the display back. I consider it the true Bond watch as there are a number of photos out there of Sean Connery wearing his 190. Also a PAM 200 in white gold. Stealth wealth. The PAM 200 is LE of 250 pieces that contain Panerai's first in-house movement. Same movement as the collector favorite PAM 233. Manual wind 8 day and a GMT, does it get any better. And the most recent 45mm addition is the PAM 231. Rose gold that almost appears more yellow. A perfect shade IMO. Beautifully finished Panerai variant 6497. The watch is just simple elegance with the 2-hand layout. It wears different straps like a champ. I think some incredible value to be found in Panerai right now. I've acquired all of the above pieces over the past few years. With some patience and bargain sleuthing, my all in cost on ALL 3 of them is just a tiny bit more than buying a single Pepsi at current market price. Maybe the Pepsi holds value better over the long run, but I'm having a lot more fun owning these three!

[@SaltyWatchCollector]

A true Paneristi👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@BruceWilliams]

I was the same. I had reviewed various watches from Brellum for years, and always told myself that when the right one comes out, I am getting it. The TC Moonphase is the one for me. A 45mm Radiomir is in my future as well. Just need to find the right one/right deal

[@scottwexlin6456]

I’m very surprised, you did not know which GMT you were getting.

[@SaltyWatchCollector]

As long as it was on the jubilee I didn't care. It was an adventure

[@deansusec8745]

Theyre all gorgeous, but I would only be able to consider the seikos

[@stevenesch123]

Bruce, the hair looks sharp. I love your Tudor. So nice. If I have to complain, too many words on the dial. Thanks for the content and have a wonderful holiday.

[@wngimageanddesign9546]

OMG! I have the original 1970s Seiko Navigator Timer from my father. Still runs, I beat it to death when I was a kid. It truly one of the most classic and perfected Seiko designs. I see your's is a re-issue.

[@omar10213245]

I like turtles

[@nedflanders3769]

Me too!!! 🐢

[@johnrb9397]

What no gold Rolex for Bruce. I don’t get it..! As nice as the Seiko is the rolex gotta make the top 3!!!!

[@Bennie_Bee6]

Guys what is the reference number of your Panerai in the video?

[@SaltyWatchCollector]

PAM610

[@Bennie_Bee6]

Thanks Rob

[@kresimirpleic]

Alsolutely love the Brellum. Amazing watch. Where's the day date, Bruce?

[@BruceWilliams]

It was sitting in the safe, having come in at number 4 lol

[@W4TCH3NJOYER]

I’m fortunate to have a Radiomir 00183. I’ve been in love with it since I purchased it in 2021! Cheers!

[@EdmundPorter-ju8kd]

I wonder how do the various colors of your lhd pelagos compare to the new fxd gmt?

[@BruceWilliams]

As soon as I can get one in for a video, I'll for sure share a side by side. I've yet to see one 'in the metal'

[@affegorilla1299]

Bruce gaining some weight here? 😜✌🏻

[@BruceWilliams]

Yeah, I need to trim back down

[@heljestrand]

Dude looks like Orson Welles. Google it.

[@johnmonachelli5256]

That brellum for 3800 is crazy

[@andrewdodge1311]

No way the day date didn’t make top 3

[@Vader965]

Panerai reference?

[@SaltyWatchCollector]

PAM610

[@JA-mq9ti]

Panerai is so nice in my opinion

[@orvillefindley8117]

For some reason that Panarai reminds me of the Raketa big zero. 👍😂

[@kresimirpleic]

Haha, true!

[@SaltyWatchCollector]

All those big numerals😂

[@krasnaludek298]

I don’t own more than one watch from amy single brand. Has been a longstanding rule for my collection. If I were to break that rule; I’d look for a lightly used Panerai 40mm with the black dial. Have the 44mm white dial & easily my favorite timepiece.

[@shaunfarrier9060]

Love the Radiomir

[@Sumerdini]

Brellum & Radiomir👍

[@ClubExplorers]

TURDor by KENISSI outhouse is superb.

[@fragranceprofile9657]

The guys fake laughs are so shrill... What a bunch of vapid shills

[@derekbrettell8121]

Sorry guys, i don't know why you'd bother with Seiko when you have a Rolex GMT or a day date 😂 don't see the point

[@SaltyWatchCollector]

We love all watches

[@nedflanders3769]

Because price doesn’t always correlate to how much enjoyment it gives you.

[@FC-yr3be]

Can you review the new blancpain fifty fathoms 42mm titanium?

[@user-qh7mv8np2s]

I saw that gmt seiko in person and it changed my mind not to pull the trigger.
