[@TonioToutBeau]

It's you Peter! Thanks for sharing, now we finally have a face to the voice. Brave and greatly appreciated move :)

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks Alex, just having some fun and enjoying the hobby. Have a safe start to the new year, cheers

[@LetsPlayThru]

Great to see the man behind the wrist shots. Happy holidays Peter 🎁

[@PeterKotsa]

You too enjoy the holidays 👍

[@engineer_wannabe]

Huge Congrats, Peter! It looks fantastic on you. Also, anyone can do a review, you are what makes your channel special! 😊

[@PeterKotsa]

I think you have been a huge influence on me regarding Grand Seiko watches Sanjay..👍 Thanks for the feedback btw, enjoy the holidays brother

[@DurgaPrasad-hk6hb]

We finally See Peter for the first time🎉...

[@philliplivingstone5336]

Stunning watch, Grand Seiko are fabulous watches and wear much better than people give them credit for.

[@danielday7033]

That is a stunner of a watch. Be blessed someone respected/admired you enough to show their love and appreciation for all you do. However, I get what you are saying about receiving gifts...I'm the same way.

[@WNYfellow]

We can only assume .... that your wife is the source of this gift ;-). Actually, you touched upon a very common phenomenon: people hesitate to buy things (or receive them) because .... well, because receiving them stirs up difficult emotions. You may be familiar with the Martin Sheen movie 'Da.' The Sheen character has become a big wheel in New York theater; during his career, he has regularly sent packages of expensive cigars back to Ireland for his 'da' to enjoy. After his father's death, he finds them in a bureau drawer - unopened. At least the giver of your Grand Seiko knows that you got it, you opened it, you are enjoying it and you appreciate it. That's a win, for both giver and receiver.

[@TheChadWork2001]

Nice watch. Someone appreciates your work.

[@gamesetmatt23]

Pete, what an absolutely stunning watch, a beautiful gift, and absolutely couldn't go to a more deserving bloke. Appreciate your genuine approach to everything that you do, and this little slice of the YT community that you've created. Merry Christmas, and enjoy the holidays 🎄😊

[@PeterKotsa]

Thank you for that, really appreciate your take.. I really like what you said, this little slice of YT community Wouldn't have it any other way..wonderful 👍 Enjoy the holidays

[@jonirwin7316]

I too have said no to this watch for the same reasons you did. I'll need to take another look. Your humility is very Christ like. Nice to see you on the other side of the camera, even for one time. Peace brother.

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks for the feedback Jon...enjoy your holidays and family

[@TheExpert-dx6xi]

The watch looks perfect on your wrist

[@Dadication3]

Beautiful and well deserved I’m sure.

[@jtes1442]

It's a hell of a watch. Congrats on the gift. Thank you for sharing and for letting us get a look at you. It lets us get to know you a little bit more. Have a great New Year.

[@marchforthfitness449]

So deserved, Peter! For all you do. And your humble graciousness is payment enough. It is such a stunner!!! 🤩

[@PeterKotsa]

🙏

[@CorneliusRushtie]

Cracking piece mate. What a lovely gift. Wear in good health.

[@PeterKotsa]

cheers

[@johnrb9397]

Congratulations Peter a very generous gift. You have blessed others with your creative work and generosity. That same light must have stirred this act of love. 👏

[@xN1NJ4smurfx]

That is an absolute stunner of a watch!! I like the way you approached the gift, and I reckon you've definitely done the right thing by accepting it as an expression of love. You're honouring the giver, as well as the gift. Good to see your mug too! I hate when the face doesn't fit the voice when a YTer does a "face reveal", but you'll be relieved to know that yours match 🤣 Awesome vid as always, love your approach!

[@PeterKotsa]

Haha 😂 thanks Steve happy new year mate

[@xN1NJ4smurfx]

@@PeterKotsa You too mate, happy new year!

[@WATCHingJames]

Nice to finally “meet” you. What a beautiful watch and an incredibly generous gift. Enjoy

[@PeterKotsa]

Cheers James..be well mate

[@leovoi]

Congrats on your new watch gifts Peter, and it's nice to put a face on a voice.. Happy Holiday!

[@PeterKotsa]

Happy holidays!

[@siddhant46s54]

I totally agree that with some watches the specs looks so outlandish and large on paper you thinks its a complete no go for you( also the conditioning of the recent years of watches of smaller sizes becoming more prominent contributes to this) but in real life it fits just perfectly! I experienced this myself recently. I never liked seiko divers because I thought they were huge usually (42-45mm) and I hadn’t tried them on in real life. All this completely changed when a new Seiko exclusive boutique opened in a mall near my home and i walked in to see what’s up and try on a few Seiko divers for once and man was i blown away, I don’t know what magic Seiko performs in their designs language but pretty much every dive watch from the largest seiko sumo or the SLA073 to the SPB143 all fit beautifully in my wrist with no lugs overhang at all . And now i find myself down the rabbit hole of Seiko dive watches and in love with Seiko for the past 2 weeks 😂

[@ianjdmolina]

Hey Peter, appreciate you sharing this watch and the story behind it. Wear it in good health and enjoy the holidays, mate!

[@PeterKotsa]

Thank you Ian, you too 👍

[@JJ-rp2df]

[@martinkaplan1805]

Lovely to pare your voice with your face, and congratulations on that gorgeous watch. Wear it well and often, Peter

[@Desperate4changing]

Congratulations Peter. For you to receive such a gift means you are special to someone out there and is well deserved, what a stunner. Enjoy

[@Jeetacademykl]

Exactly like : I would have never buy this watch on paper/webiste ... Then now i saw your video. And this watch looks stunning.

[@KC-bv9kf]

Well deserved! Very well deserved! Happy New Year and best wishes to you and your love ones! May y’all have as many smiles as you have given us watchers:) By the way, that Artem strap is brilliant and they are magical together.

[@jonathanrobinson9208]

[@david12990]

Peter what a great story. Thank you for sharing your grace and humility. It is such a wonderful watch.

[@PeterKotsa]

My pleasure David, be well my friend, cheers

[@robmccall5017]

Great Story! Grand Seiko are really special Watches; mine is a SBGJ227 Peacock GMT with an incredible green Dial. Bought one new in 2017 sold it, regretted and bought one again 3 Months ago. Now it‘ll be a Keeper. Love GS Keep on the good work!

[@PeterKotsa]

Cheers Rob

[@JeffreyPisarek]

Wow, what an absolute stunner.

[@zsoltprokai7310]

Never say never! The watch is beautiful, so enjoy it! I relatively new to to watch hobby, but I have learned, for me only two thing are relevant. The lug-to-lug distance and the style of the watch. And I think the face-to face videos adds a little bit more to the honesty.

[@davemck1887]

Nice to put a face to the voice. Congrats on such a beautiful gift. It's nice to know you're loved isn't it mate.

[@PeterKotsa]

Very humbling...it truly is

[@pauldiplock205]

Yes I agree it is great to put a face to the voice. The watch is superb too. What a wonderful gift….. one lucky boy.

[@watchrolling]

Congrats Pete! Definitely well deserved. Excellent intro too! 🤣 That GS is BEAUTIFUL.

[@PeterKotsa]

Thank you kindly, enjoy the break 👍

[@johngamboa999]

My son gave an apple watch this Christmas and you’re right. It’s burdening. After mustering enough courage, I finally gave it back after a few hours. 😅btw good to see you in person 🙏

[@justonemovement]

fantastic gift to a very deserving person...I am sure.....Enjoy your holidays Pete......have a fantastic year ahead!

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks, you too! 👍

[@robberlin2230]

Best riff for an intro on youtube. Cheers for the update

[@fabricea7704]

Hi Pete. The introduction to the video made me smile. It's always nice to put a face to a voice, sometimes not. It’s a beautiful gift that you give to your loyal audience. I feel honored somewhere. It's a very beautiful watch, one of my dream watches but I would never sell a kidney or my soul to afford this gem. Happy man, work pays off. That's what my father taught me. Happy end of year to you and look forward to next year.🥂🇨🇵👋

[@PeterKotsa]

Thank you Fabrice..I appreciate the support from you guys, keeps me excited in this hobby Have a safe start to the new year brother

[@UnholiestJedi]

Like you Peter, I'm uncomfortable receiving expensive gifts. But as you say, it's an expression of love, so I try to recall that when people unexpectedly give me a gift. Happy holidays & looking forward to a great 2024!

[@pete5534]

It’s a work of art. Enjoy it.

[@YOutsider]

probably the best thank you video for a great gift from a generous person.

[@rodsalvador3608]

Congratulations and well deserved!! Some Grand Seiko specs really are intimidating, but their skill with case design and proportionality belie the numbers. Happy new year, and look forward to more great videos!

[@astorbeijer9424]

I agree with you Peter. It's a watch I never would have chosen because if the size, but it looks great on your wrist. What an incredible gift!

[@A_Dude_And_His_Watch78]

That is a beautiful watch. Wear it and enjoy it.

[@PeterKotsa]

[@mmrahman82]

Man, the way that watch glistened and refracted the light as you rotated it under the sunlight had me mesmerised, and I never get tired of seeing that smooth sweeping seconds hands. I've got to get me a Grand Seiko one day.

[@Oli-Train]

Today is a big day for Grand Seiko as they unveil a face-to-face presentation, putting a face to the voice behind this incredible watch brand. A perfect combination for all watch lovers out there! 🎉

Happy New Year, Peter! Thank you again for all of your work!

[@PeterKotsa]

Thank you for always watching, appreciate the support bro. Happy New year

[@khronokraze]

What an awesome gift! Nothing says love better than a GS Spring Drive❤️. I have also been reluctant in GS sport watches, most being 43mm+.. but, my recent GS diver wears so nicely. I really enjoy it.

[@markuslupus6527]

Love your channel, dear Peter! Always pleasant, profound and professional. Your videos are aesthetically pleasing, comprehensively informative and simply a joy to watch. Every time! With just the wrist or fully in-person! You made my day, more than once! Happy Holidays from Costa Rica to Down Under!

[@PeterKotsa]

Happy holidays brother 👍

[@jamiemackenzie6877]

P, I love seeing you on front of the camera. I know I won't often, but I do like this.

Hahaha

[@roniandshay7066]

this watch is PERFECT!

[@stephengarratt8027]

Very strong emotional attachment and a stunning piece. Congratulations and have a great new year !

[@PeterKotsa]

Thank you Stephen, enjoy the holidays my friend

[@SLCHigh]

Perfect watch! Looks great on you!

[@Ae073001]

Looks good on you. Had this style with the hi beat movement, and I tell people all the time, you gotta try it on. Have a medium wrist size at 6.75 and loved the fit. Seiko works magic with their case ergonomics. It's really quite remarkable.

[@Rivers_RHR]

Congrats on the watch Pete, I must be honest I’ve seen those watches and not thought much of them. However with your videography I now see how stunning they are. Amazing how brands don’t seem to put half as much effort into their advertising of these watches as you do in presenting them on here! 👍🏻

[@simmysharma6845]

Great to see you! Watch looks good on your wrist 👍

[@KarthikGRisKGR]

Someone has put a lot of thought into choosing this as a gift. Glad to see the man behind the voice.

[@minneapolitan]

Congrats on the gift Peter and thanks for sharing that story. Happy new year and the best in 2024.

[@PeterKotsa]

Happy new year to you too, have a safe enjoyable break 👍

[@simunijima3327]

Amazing watch, great to see your face! Cheers❤

[@timrosenthal46]

Beautiful watch and an awesome gift. I was gifted a Presage cocktail time by a good friend and it is very humbling for sure. I'm also a photographer ( retired ) and I hate being in front of the camera ... lol Happy New Year !

[@MusicianGreg]

Great to finally see you! :)

[@fidelpablo6340]

Well deserved! Happy Holidays!🎉

[@michaelniemer4449]

What an incredible expression of love and gratitude. And from someone who seems to know you better than perhaps you realize! That, or they took one heck of a gamble and got extremely lucky with the results 😅 Hope your holiday was heartwarming for all, and I wish you and yours a very Happy New Year!

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks Michael, you too have a safe start to the new year brother..

[@davidaraujo3476]

Your video says it all and why you do deserve it. Wearing it will make your friend happy. This bodes well for 2024.

[@aaronlbuchanan9861]

That's a beautiful watch, congratulations. Thanks for sharing.

[@flemmingsorensen5470]

Congrats with a super cool watch - well deserved! But you got one thing wrong here: your channel is all about YOU☺️ Your dedication, your outstanding capabilities - but most of all: your integrity. There are several great watch channels out there, but yours are way above those - because of YOU! Happy New Year!

[@PeterKotsa]

Fair call.. Happy new year brother 🙏

[@williamsmith9561]

I love your videos, Pete. It is great to put a face to the voice. I, like you, choose watches by dimensions, but wow, what a pleasant surprise. This is a stunner on the wrist.

[@DesignAtelier]

Now I feel specia just watching this video. Thanks a bunch for this amazing treat!
