I SOLD Everything For ONE Watch

[@simir95]

I've watched this over 15 times since the release....combination of calm music and your passionate talking about your watch is something that has charmed and amazed me....I usually listen to this while working to remember that I am gonna find and buy my watch one day just like you did and I cannot wait to be so passionate like you.

[@HarrisonElmore]

This is the nicest comment I’ve received since I started the channel. Enjoy the journey and the watches on the way. There are a few I miss now. Glad you enjoy the video and it can help!

[@davidd1016]

Great video. Bought NOS 1016 in 1990 and has been on my wrist 95% of time since then. it becomes a part of you …simplicity, durability, reliability, functionality …never worry about what I am doing or where I am at with it on. The Explorer 1 is best ever!

[@MercyShot83]

There is something cool about wearing just one watch. The watch gets a whole other meaning. And the 36mm Explorer is just so perfect. I do it the same with my old Sea Dweller. I stopped buying mid-tier watches just out of boredom and moved on to other hobbies.

[@frankdux5693]

A seadweller can't be a one watch collection. You might get away with an explorer or op but not any type of dive watch, especially some big ass seadweller

As others have said, this is such a wholesome video and so appreciated by someone who isn’t into watch collecting per se (due to the cost), but more just has an appreciation of the specific emotions involved with specific pieces. I bought my first “real” watch when I moved permanently from Sydney, Australia, to northern Spain - a Speedmaster Professional sapphire sandwich that I’d wanted for a number of years. It will always be my first love and represent that change in my life. Yesterday, to mark the 6 year anniversary of having given up basically everything to move to the other side of the world, I was lucky enough to be able to collect my Explorer 124270: my second love, and the watch I passed on the buy the Speedmaster (it was the 114270 at that time). To be able to have both watches is a dream, and I can’t wait to create the kinds of memories you’ve created with yours, with mine. Thanks again for a great video mate. I’ve just subscribed.

Glad to hear it! The connections and the memories they hold in them make them special. Enjoy the new Explorer and the Speedy!

I wanted an explorer since I was 8 years old. Finally, my son gifted me one upon retirement. I concur,, they are remarkable watches. Sadly, in 5 years of wearing it, it needed repairs and service. Having been a pastor for 42 years I could never come up with the $1500 estimate. So I traded the Rolex for another watch in my league. It deserved to be fixed and worn. I miss it every day.

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

What a great video. I love hearing stories like this and it’s nice to hear someone talk about loving a watch not because of what brand it is but because of the things that happened while you wore it.

[@HarrisonElmore]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@JordanDoesKeebs]

So many people get into watches and go absolutely hog-wild buying sub $500 pieces. They can justify it because despite spending thousands, they didn't feel the hit of a singular massive purchase. This was my journey too, but after a year or two you look at your collection and realize that its full of compromises and "itch-scratchers". A couple years ago I liquidated my entire collection and settled with a two piece set, my Tudor Black Bay and Nomos club. A little sport and a little dress. I think this whole rig-a-ma-role is just a natural part of entering the hobby and discovering what you love. The video was great - thanks for posting.

[@bngr_bngr]

I’m on the other side of that equation. I see a watch I love. I research it until I’m sure it’s a good buy.

[@HarrisonElmore]

Thanks for the comment! I think that’s a fair note at least for how I prefer to collect. I definitely burned a lot of money the first year

I just recently got the new explorer at 36mm and this has always been the only Rolex in their whole catalogue that I really wanted. Didn't expect to get it until years ahead but was fortunate enough to get the call from the AD. Definitely my favorite piece and the refinements of the latest upgrades is just phenomenal.

This video shows just how nuts Rolex prices have gone in the secondhand market. This watch on Watchbox today is nearly $9k. I like the idea of selling my modest collection and going for that one grail as much as the next guy, but for now I'll just keep making memories with the watches I've got.

[@aliceyellowdog]

Awesome video and watch story! I'm in my early 40's and do more watch selling than buying. I have a manageable collection size, but could always part with a couple more haha. Possibly my favorite watch is the Tudor Black Bay 36 with black dial. I have a 7 inch wrist, and still find the 36mm size is fantastic.

You mentioned an adjustable clasp that you used on your explorer? What brand is it? Link? Thanks!

[@michaeltallsman2740]

I love the 114270. Bought mine early last year a few months prior to the 124270 being released. When the 124270 was released, I wanted to get that so badly and tried to find it at several stores. After owning the 114270 for over a year and having tried on the newest model, I honestly think I am fine with the 114270. It may have the jangly bracelet and lack of AR but it has a certain charm I enjoy. I wear it for days at at time because it's like that one pair of comfy jeans. Thanks for this video; I enjoyed it a lot. :)

[@wonderbreadmodelsandhistor1566]

Great video…but why sell the G Shock square? Perfect beater and perfect two watch collection with the explorer.

[@michaeledwardlenzi]

I did a very similar thing with my collection. I did it for a 2019 36mm Datejust. No regrets. And I too got greedy and bought another couple of watches since. 36mm in a Rolex is a sublime thing. Hard to describe and best experienced. The Explorer is a lovely simple device.

[@HarrisonElmore]

Agreed! Something about the sizing is just right

[@bngr_bngr]

I have a large wrisk. I don’t mind a small dress watch. But a small sport watch just looks diminutive on my wrist.

[@BLR653]

I added the modern version 124270 to my collection in 2021. I own many Rolex watches but It is my favorite watch and I wear it 95% of the time for almost everything. You have captured the essence of this watch very well. It’s everything you need and nothing you don’t. It also flys below the radar and doesn’t draw any unwanted attention.

[@HarrisonElmore]

Agreed! Enjoy yours!

[@MarkJamesStyle]

My special watch is actually the one you're wearing, the Pelagos. It was the first high end watch I ever purchased. I love how it's underrated yet probably one of the best watches out there in regards to contemporary aesthetics and specs in one watch.

I did the reverse. I knew I wanted a 36mm Explorer (before they downsized it again) and every time I saw a watch which caught my eye that I liked and could afford (but didn’t love as much as the Explorer) I set that money aside. And did it again whenever I gave that second choice watch another glance. And before long, I had NOT bought enough alternative watches sufficient to finally get the Explorer. And it hasn’t left my wrist for several years. For all the reasons you listed here, I just can’t fall in love with anything else enough to make me wear it enough to justify it. I’ll take a glance at something new and think, “will I wear this instead of the Explorer, ever?” Probably not.

[@HarrisonElmore]

Exactly! I've tried something similar once or twice, and the other ones always go.

[@yenchang760]

The Explorer is a lovely watch, the only thing I would miss is having a date window. I bought myself a new 36mm Datejust 116234 back around 2001 and it was my daily wearer for many years until I got a Tudor North Flag. Both watches have all the marks of everyday use - scratches and dings which just adds to their character IMO. Been thinking of getting myself a Tudor Pelagos FXD lately to take over daily duties....yes I know it has no date window, but I think I love the look of it enough to live without knowing the date!

The legendary premoon. Behind the watch are moments - me in 1969-1972 watching the Apollo missions as a kid. Those sacred childhood moments are now there, on my wrist, and that thing is alive.

It has the old Zenith movement, and it has such a vintage flare. Hold it close to me given circumstances. Also my first big expense I got when I went out and made actual living I went and got a used Explorer I 39mm watch and wear it nearly all the time.

The first “luxury” watch I bought was the Speedmaster Reduced (2002), first savings from first job. Goldilocks size for 6.75 inch wrist. I visited the AD countless times before I could buy it. Wore it for 8 years straight, and then the much lusted after Rolex Explorer (2009). A few years later the Explorer II (2011). A few pieces in between (mostly sold now) Tag Heuer Carrera 39mm, Longines Master Collection Moonphase 40, Sinn 356, Christopher Ward C60, and a few microbrands. The BB58 (2019), spot on proportions. And the new Speedmaster Pro 3861 (2021) that finally wears great on smaller wrists. There is also the Rolex Submariner 16610 from 2010 (the pride of the collection, along with the Explorer II and the Speedmaster Pro, all 10/10 wrist presence satisfaction) bought in 2020, but that is another story.

If things ever settle out maybe I will pick one up. Also nice to see the scratches and scars on your watch. Mine look that way as well. They were made to be worn. For me there is nothing more annoying than people that buy a watch and don't wear it.

I often think that one good watch is really all I need. An Explorer is a perfect example of one that would fill that need. 36mm Datejust is another consideration. But my issue is I have a few watches that have sentimental attachments.

I have a tissot v8… Bulova Lunar… seastar silicium… And I’m currently saving up for a big crown pointer date. I know my watches will never appreciate like a Rolex, but it gives me small stepping stones that i can use incrementally to build up a wearable watch fund that i can use later to purchase my big hitter. They’ll get traded for a jlc reverso one day, but until then, i love the variety of my little watch piggy bank.

Wow! What an amazing video. That's exactly what I intend to do in the near future. The one watch collection. Thank you :)

That’s what appreciation is all about. You found it, it has a story, you see it staying with you. The 36mm Exp1 is all most will ever need. Only question: what’s on your wrist while you’re handling the Exp1?

I had a Pelagos I've got here for review on my wrist at the time

To support your sentiments, although I have an extensive collection from Minute repeater, turboullion, chronograghs.... PP, JLC, Cartier, Breguet, in the end I rarely wear any of them and wear only two.... My rolex explorer(36), and Blancpain swatch (Indian Ocean). In the end a watch only has to tell me the time.... Keep it simple. Aside from the explorer, one precious watch is my stainless steel PP Calatrava manufactured 1921, sold in the market 1935. Again just tells time.
