My 7 Watch Collection: I'm Done, I Swear...

[@tb4076]

Lmaooo how us watch nerds justify dropping unreasonable amounts of money on what is essentially an accessory. "No, I haven't been anywhere near the beach in years, but IF I ever did, this watch has 500m of water resistance!"

[@Holden_McHock]

Fr that was the most "watch enthusiast" sentence I've ever heard 🤢

[@feelgood1980]

Lol

[@danieldarby9953]

Truer words haven't been said.

[@stevem863]

Wow. Now you just let the world know how truly crazy us watch nerds are by assigning watches to days of the week. That was a Raiders of the Lost Ark secret. Great collection.

[@HarrisonElmore]

I used to have a spreadsheet of wear time by watches. I've been sick for a long time. Thanks!

[@extremejoy]

If you haven’t gotten a winder for the automatic ones I’d recommend so since most of them have power reserve for less than 3 days. Unless you manually wind them each day then respect to that! 😅

[@PPN462]

@@extremejoyI have never really understood the appeal of a winder. Paying for a device that takes the joy away of either manually winding or setting the watch yourself before wearing it seems counter-intuitive to me. I can understand that there are days when you don’t want to deal with that or are in a hurry, and when I don’t feel like doing that, I just use my smart watch or grab a quartz 😅.

[@peterknguyen]

@@extremejoyno reason to get a winder unless you have a really complicated watch to set like a perpetual calendar..

But you have 3 empty slots in the box!

Was my immediate thought 😂

That’s what we all do in our heads to justify buying more watches lol

After 10+ years of collecting i find myself wearing my black Casioak 90% of the time. I could sell everything and just keep this one easily.

[@EeBee97]

Tbh, keep a dress watch or something versatile next to that one and go for it

[@NickJardine]

[@matiasgoinheix366]

What else you got if I may ask?

[@Hitman4seven-zv1pu]

Currently a white dial Omega Seamaster 300m, green dial Tissot PRX, blue dial Seiko 5 Dresskx, a couple of G Shocks and regular Casios (A168, F91-W).

[@MrKinghuman]

Reliability is a nasty mistress

[@dfsa635]

I go by seasons, two watches for each. It works for me for three reasons. You can match watches to the colors, uses and weather of the season; this gives a long interval where I can miss watches then rediscover them; it gives me a structure for slowly refining the collection without going overboard.

[@HarrisonElmore]

Ahhhh interetsing. I don't think I could go that long, but I like the idea.

[@CallumMcCormick-ut3qy]

Stunning - perfect of example about building a collection around your life and your taste rather than the hype. Keep up the vids!

[@HarrisonElmore]

Thanks, will do!

[@edrader]

the 3-watch collection is groooowing hahahahahaha

[@kingarchnyc]

U r not done! U got 3 empty spots!!! Definitely more to come! 🤣

[@wingi7722]

Love the way you start the week with Sunday instead of Monday! The main change I would make if I had your collection is that I would wear the Turtle on Sunday so that I could enjoy seeing the Sunday Day in RED on the Turtle. I love that about Seikos. Great collection!

[@HarrisonElmore]

I totally agree! I've thought about it, but the G shock just works so well on Sunday. The day color is one of the great parts about that date wheel though

[@mcroadtrip7313]

Yep, Sunday should always be the 1st day of the week

[@jorge23483]

The red is on the G Shock dial frame 😁

[@123Lucuzz]

Dude what a killer collection

[@HarrisonElmore]

Thanks!

[@scottsolomon8537]

I have more than 7 watch collection and I’m retired from work recently so I find myself changing out pieces 2 or 3 times a day. Sometimes I feel like I’m being a little OCD but I like the process of giving more of my collection some spin time rather than letting some sit for weeks or more

[@dis6900]

Big fan of your channel, brother and great collection too. Gotta say, my 124270 Explorer is by far my favorite watch I've ever owned. It's good at doing everything and the 36mm size just fits so well vs the 40+ mm watches I own. Keep up the great content dude!

[@tylerjames646]

dude, your collection is awesome. Love your Seiko, I almost bought the same one. I went with a Citizen Fugu as my work beater. I've put it through a lot - very reliable.

[@fleshcrunch7988]

The GS is sooo stunning. I wish i could effort it. Great collection

[@barryvercueil2346]

Such a brilliant video. I appreciate YOUR collection. cheers

[@HarrisonElmore]

Thank you kindly!

[@zitimotleyxxjmxx]

If you have a Grand Seiko and a Speedy in your collection, you are all set. That puts a stamp on your collection. All the others like Rolex or Cartier are just nice to have but not essential. This is an amazing collection. BUT… you still have 3 slots left in that box. Molds can get in there if you dont put something. I think you need a gold watch.

[@amaktoomjan]

Great collection. Loved every bit of it.... except Explorer II. Please, please........ please get rid of jubilee. Can't breathe....gasp, gasp..

[@DopaminShot]

So, you are rich 😃

[@Alex-nh1hb]

Nice collection, I can see that you really like black lol. That grand seiko is definitely my favorite

[@wristopia4101]

"It's a good conversation starter...... that never starts any conversations"😂 This is the single best comment on watch KZbin ever 🏆and I really appreciate you being honest and busting the 'Conversation Starter' myth. My most commented on watch by far is a Seadweller, but A/ They thought it was a Submariner, and B/ I did not want to talk to them 😂 The watches that start conversations (outside of watch guy situations) are ugly things that peoples initial reaction to is WTF! And then they feel the need to comment on the negative facial expression they feel that you might have seen 🤣

[@Kenichi-R]

Personally I would have an 8-watch collection, in which the 8h one's for special occasions.

[@franc101978]

You have some awesome time pieces. I love that speed master strap

[@davidkwon1322]

I had a 7 watch collection and sold 2 of them and now I have 5 that I rotate throughout the work week. Sold below. 1.) Tag Aquaracer WBP1110.BA0627 2.) Cartier Santos medium white dial. 5 I wear 1.) Tissot PRX powermatic 80 2.) Grand Seiko GMT SBGM221 3.) Konstantin Chaykin (Reolica 😜) 4.) Omega Aqua Terra Seamaster 5.) Rolex Explorer If anyone wants to trade watches I am looking to upgrade to one solid everyday watch. I have box and papers for all except the Chaykin.

[@Rex_Cosmos]

I really love the idea of wearing your favorite piece on your least favorite day. It’s genius!

[@caseyzaft6734]

Did you buy the Explorer 2 on the grey or from an AD? Great vid man

[@joaomoura8101]

Good collection, I'd ditch the Navitimer for a GMT though as you're not a pilot but mondays are travelling days

[@willcarella]

Whenever I used to see the explorer 1 in videos like these I was never overly impressed. I went to a store to try on a DJ36 in black and they had an explorer 1 so I threw it on and I finally understood.. You have to see that watch in person, it is a beauty

[@ninjasrose1653]

Yeah, that's a really well-thought-out collection. I don't have your money lol so my collection looks like this so far... (I am more of a grab-and-go guy due to my lifestyle) My watch wearing is also situational due to that fact. Lorus Lumbrite - Wild Camping and general beater Citizen Bm8180-03e - Smart/Casual reliable field watch Casio G Shock (5610) My Workout/ Mountain Biking and all things crazy watch. Tissot PRX - My work watch Seiko Solar Dive Watch (SNE585P1) - Daily Dive Watch On the list... Seiko Willard - The only automatic watch that will be in my collection for now. The heartbeat of my watch collection and my more premium dive watch. And finally, my grail watch... *GS* (SBGX261)

[@dannyg6592]

You've got a great collection and I like how you have assigned each watch to a day of the week (and the reason for doing so).

[@davidweisbruch4869]

Thanks for this vid! Two things! 1) Agree with the sentiments for a watch a day, and when I whip out my 1990s tag aquaracer after a month or two of not wearing, clicking the jangley bracelet just feels right. 2) ever since getting my 39mm explorer, I have found that I rarely want a new watch once I try the new one on in the metal - just me?

[@TradeMarcmultimedia]

im good with everything except jubilee on explorer 2.. its hurts my soul.

[@lukamijic9549]

Looks amazing

[@kyeungminkim2018]

haha how bout the GMT batgirl?

[@TradeMarcmultimedia]

@@kyeungminkim2018 it’s passable, gmt master is a travel watch.. it has a shiny bezel and even the oyster has polished centrelinks on that model. But I still prefer oyster.. I have a Batman and owned an Explorer 2 previously (216570 black dial)

[@MettaLovingKindness]

#1 Grand Seiko. I do not understand why so many people have a speed master. Well done omega for marketing. :)

Rule number 1: never left empty spots on your watch box. You will end up buying watches to fill it.

[@derc5284]

Great collection! I personaly think it make more sence to have watches according to your life style, more than the day of the week. Like, to wear with a suit, with casual clothes, special events… more like that, but love the idea of a “Monday Watch”! To start the week strong 😅 Great job

[@watchesandfitness]

Have a 40mm Explorer 1 and an SBGA211 which are really the only two I wear. Love both 😍

[@patrickar96]

Super cool with the bracelet on the Explorer 2. is that a Bracelet of the 126710, or is it a super jubilee from 116234 Datejust with the clasp of an 126710? Thanks for reply to Norwegian nerd, want that combo for my 16710. All the best Patrick

Loved seeing a Sapphire Sandwich defender.

[@toadiscoil]

I like the one-day-a-week concept. My wish list has 8 because of 8 slot watch boxes 😁 but also because if I were to wear one per day the extra one is a cheap one to travel with that if it gets stolen, broken or whatever it’s not such a big deal. Arguably that could be your G-Shock. By the way, I think of a utilitarian watch and I think of a smartwatch like the Apple Watch. But I don’t like smartwatches as a concept I don’t want to charge one more device each night. It’s just if I wear a watch it has to be beautiful not just utilitarian. I admit my wish list includes 2 Rolexes that I may never ever have in my life realistically but still it’s nice to have them there. My wish list is: Tag Heuer Aquaracer Chronograph (owned), Longines Hydroconquest green (owned), Omega SMP 300m summer blue, Tudor BB burgundy, Tag Heuer Aquaracer black (the newest one for 2024 with the certified movement), Rolex Yacht Master (newest grey one), Rolex Daytona Panda, and perhaps an Orient Kamasu for travel. My next goal is the Omega to me it is my grail watch since again I may not be able to afford the Rolexes. But I can’t find any other watches that I really want for my collection. Other than other color Omega SMPs hehehe I just love that watch line.

[@bobnewby9129]

I'm done, I swear... Buys a new Rolex Submariner three weeks later. 🙂

[@Karlito_McIrish]

Nice weekly collection, the Breitling and the Omega are my two favorites in there.

[@mattsa]

Thanks for sharing! I have a GS SBGR255 and you’re right, they sparkle like nothing else and look even better outside the boutique. There’s this silly comparison with Rolex-they both have different but strong design languages.

[@whodeycinbengals]

Nice collection. I have 5, but I’m selling the King Seiko, because I just don’t need 5 watches lol. Everytime I get around 5-8 watches, I talk myself out of having so many, and I start selling some of them. I guess I’ve just always enjoyed wearing the same couple of watches day in/day out, and also where I’m not a man of considerable means, I really struggle with justifying a larger collection. Anyway here are my watches… 1. My pride and joy, the 3861 Sapphire Speedmaster on bracelet. 2. My second favorite watch, the Tudor BB58 blue on bracelet. 3. King Seiko SJE083 LE 4. Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical (white dial on a variety of natos) 5. And finally, I have the same G Shock GWM5610.

[@Anonymouslyme1]

Great video, love the 16570 on jubilee 🤤

[@cheesychester9647]

Cool vid. Love all your watches, but the Explorer II on that bracelet is an absolute abomination my guy.

[@robertp5123]

Great collection. Love each one of your timepieces. Curious….what is the brand of your watch box? It looks very nice.

[@markmendoza3121]

I was going to ask the same regarding the watch box. Looks solid. Great collection and day-by-day explanation.

[@HarrisonElmore]

[@austinlaudry8335]

Nice collection! Only watch I really didn’t like was the Breitling, but like you said, owning watches is about what YOU like. Also, you can never really truly how how great a Grand Seiko dial through video; you have to witness its greatness in person. My Grand Seiko is, hands down, my favorite watch.

[@wristopia4101]

So the 41mm explorer II is too big, but the 40mm is dwarfed by the Turtle that you wore the previous day??!!

[@MandyLionRock]

The speed master did go to the moon and broke... 🤣 Thank goodness the guy also had a bulova with him... that one made it.

[@michaelcano1591]

I’m currently at 4 watches. Bb58, Tudor ranger, citizen and tissot gentleman. Hoping to add a speedy soon

[@HarrisonElmore]

Great group! This took me 5 years of unhealthy spending, so take your time! The BB58 and Ranger are two of my favorites.

[@richardmorris7063]

I now have ten watches, you're Breitling reminds me of my Movado Circa on brown leather band. I have my Eco Citizens & Seiko Persages for daily use but I picked up a never worn 2022 Tudor Black Bay Crono Panda version for 4k. Its my crown Jewell & I'm done! Lol

[@handsome_jeff]

Mehhhhh, just a bunch of beginner/intro-to luxury steel watches (outside the g-shock). Listening to this vid was like listening to someone talk about their favorite pepperoni pizza or favorite color of white. Just not interesting...same style....all these watches could be reduced to one and the rest forgotten. This collection is not dynamic IMO. No offense, i used to have a very similar collection of the who's who of beginner steel timepieces and it was boring.

[@69fastfurious]

You said that your week starts on Sunday and then you said that Monday is the beginning of the week 😂 Thanks God I'm living in Europe🙏😁

[@shuycg]

I'd sell both Rolexes and the Navitimer to get something higher up. Probably a Patek, Lange, or a smaller artisanal independent like Ferrier, Moser, Czapek, maybe a Journe? Your collection flatlined there with the mass producers under and around 10k. The GS and the Omega and the beaters, I'd keep. Wouldn't actually wear the G-Shock because that's almost as predictable as the Rolexes, but selling it would be too much of a hassle. Maybe something to wear while gardening?

[@imemine1975]

G shock, Breitling, Omega, Seiko turtle , Rolex, Grand Seiko. Hmmm all usual suspects nothing new . Did not look like you tried harder to make a collection. It's all popular choices. Personally I wud have Rolex Milagaus, bulova vintage , definately tudor black bay, Timex marlin , Hamilton khaki, Cartier tank solar

[@chiliprepper7678]

I do like your 7 day collection. I have a primarily 3 watch collection. Sub 41 no date. Black Bay Red smiley. Pelagos eta. But sub 41 is the daily beater. Owned 2 other Sub, the Batman and a Deep Sea 44. Maybe 3 nice micro brands that never get worn. You have a new subscriber as well. 👍😀

[@salembeeman370]

Love your collection - much envy. However, for me and my son Saturday's are Seiko Saturday's. Also, the Spring drive is too nice for Saturday - which should be a sports watch day. You have a dream collection for sure. However, I'd swap the Explorer for a Day-Date or Date Just. That's just the Tony Soprano in me. Badda bing.

[@verynormalman]

T4YC. Really happy you love your collection. But that's why it's such a great hobby. Everyone's collection would be different. I do notice one theme in people's collections. It's how "stated" or "understated" all the watches are. It's like a volume knob. Either turned to 3, or right up to 11. (Spinal Tap reference there!) I would say that you score about 8 out of 11?

[@deanvanlaarhoven1413]

You're starting off your week wrong. Sunday needs to start with a dress watch. Sunday needs to start with thinking not as the day that you don't want to think. Sunday belongs to God and you want to start your week off right So started off with God.

[@sadisticD]

We have similar collections though mine is the poor man version and we have the same idea overall funny enough. Casioak, Citizen nighthawk pilots watch with slide rule, Bulova Lunar Pilot, Seiko Samurai, Tissot Gentleman, Max Bill for dress, and Hamilton Khaki King. Not quite the same setup but surprisingly close despite though again mine is admittedly nowhere near as nice.

[@rhettbaldwin2148]

Swap ot your Navi for the AB0120 (B01 version) .... same, but waaay better ... quickset date!, 72 hr power, better movement, applied gold logo, the best 👌

[@naqqashsharif5561]

If I’m wearing a $3000 watch and above, I would never forget that it’s on my wrist. Sad. Great collection nonetheless. If I had the Friday Rolex, I would wear that almost every.

[@Nellie1975]

Really enjoyed that vid. Never seen this guy before but he seems a nice chap and kept me interested which is rare these days with all the similar content so i will be def watching more. Some iconic watches that have obviously been pondered over for some time before purchase, I love the explorer it looks like it’s been worn and appreciated, I like that. The explorer 2 on the jubilee is an interesting choice but it looks the dogs and like you said it’s your taste so I can dig it. Thanks for the vid and for sharing your collection, I’ll be looking for more vids to see what fills them 3 slots as we all know they aren’t staying empty . 👍

[@kulkxsagar]

Atleast 1 of my watches matches with yours obviously the Casio G-Shock 😅. You are right about $400 is a bit much for a wrist watch and that's probably the overall collection 😂 with just one Seiko 5 watch.

[@silverfish764]

Almost every watch is my personal favourite. In my collection I got only three. I can’t afford much but I manage to have one f91, dw5600 and a Rado diastar original, an underrated quality Swiss watch.

[@dmitryivanoff2799]

I love your video. I use the chronograph function a lot, in s life class, travelling, etc. However, its beyond me that even very expensive watches are so boring. Subdials are very important and perform different functions. However , they are usually of the same size and their batons are the same colour and design!

[@gavcentral7943]

Very nice pieces Sir, A tasteful collection no doubt! You are very fortunate, alot of us will never hold a Rolex or Grand Seiko. I own a vintage Oyster Perpetual, yet I drive a old honda accord. The watch is worth twice as much.

[@kakabane5479]

now you only need 3 to completely fill out the box. Some recommendations are the casio f91w, the casio a700, the casioak, the casio royale, the casio a168 or the casiotron

[@redhunterandgatherer2367]

Thanks for the great presentation...I'm now in the market for a Rolex and a Grand Seiko.. That will complete Friday and Saturday..

As you say - this is your taste. As it happens, I’m on the same page with you about 5 of your 7 watches (not particularly a fan of the g shock or the navitimer)…..having said that - all 7 are safe picks. How about looking at something that’s not simply an icon of horology?

[@rich1228]

Yes, all watch nerds have bought their "final" watch untill they find the next "is really really good value" or "it's my new grail" watch. Good luck keeping it under 7 watches.

I personally could never spend upwards of 5 gs on a Seiko, if I’m gonna spend that I’ll buy another Rolex or omega. That’s just me

[@matias22tk]

And this is why I think COSC and ultra accurate movements are overrated. As long as a watch has a deviation of +- a minute a day, we won't notice before it's time to wear a different watch.
