[@targaflorio3239]

Love your channel. Chilled and friendly. And a fellow Panerista! That PAM 422 is GORGEOUS! Ignore the haters. You are doing awesome work!

[@AussieWristWatch]

Thanks so much for the kind words! Go Panerai!

[@DavidClarke-kj5ky]

the 422 is ace: my first PAM after much deliberation. very well made piece.

[@Jim-j9e]

@@AussieWristWatch Jessica always loved the channel and hope that you haven't stopped because of the trolls

[@paulkukula6541]

Love your collection. Love to see you collecting Aussie brands. The Bausele looks great. I’ve just added a second Adina Oceaneer to my collection this year. Beautiful green dial. All the best for Xmas & the new year. Look forward to seeing you 2024.

[@AussieWristWatch]

Thanks, yeah I am having fun with the Bausele, I think it's going to be a great outdoor/beach watch too. Adina sounds great congrats! Have a great Christmas and New Year!

[@angelcred967]

awesome collection!! I've moved recently to Sydney. I would like to ask you for a trustworthy online shop in Australia if you could recommend any. Thanks!

[@ashoat2388]

Love your collection - and our tastes are aligned across the board! I missed MULTIPLE deals on a Fears Archival this year - I still hope to get one in the future for under list. I’m also into the PAM177, with its matte titanium case and the view of the ETA in back. Hope to add that at some point as well.

[@AussieWristWatch]

Oh nice one! We do have similar taste in that regard. Good luck with the hunt!

[@Sherlock-py2hh]

Great collection. Some watches that I hadn't considered in there...... I sense that I'll be spending a bit more this year :) . You could look at Christopher Ward's collection, the Supercompressor is my next target. Elliot Brown, another UK brand, have some lovely watches, I have a Tyneham automatic limited edition, which I love.

[@AussieWristWatch]

Thanks, yes will need to check out CW.

[@gossipwatch]

Nice video Jessica its so nice to see how humble you are as a person. Always enjoying your videos and how you speak from your heart. Regarding your collection, I love the Rolex Explorer ii I have been wanting to get one so hopefully 2024 will be the year. I have to admit that the Omega Seamaster in my collection doesn't get enough wrist time. Happy Holidays and keep up the great job with the videos.

[@AussieWristWatch]

Thanks! The Explorer was a happy accidental edition to the collection and I really do love it. My Seamaster is equally off the wrist too much nowadays too! Happy Holidays to you too!

[@johnstyron6543]

Brilliant collection! Thank you so much for sharing. I have a Fears too and think they are simply great! I have always longed for “my Panerai” but my wrists are small. Now they have the Due 38! 🙏 👏🏻. Great strap on your Moonswatch. I have the Blancpain Scuba. Sure they are not made as well as other watches but they are so much fun! Don’t understand why trolls bother. There is so much for us all to learn and enjoy from each other!!!

[@AussieWristWatch]

Thanks for sharing and yes I think there’s a Due that will fit you now!! 👍

[@H0kram]

That is one bold collection, for I presume one bold person. You're definitely a watch addict, thankfully we come in all shapes and form and I really enjoy the laid back approach and simple lights here, it is a soothing change, I will check out the rest of your channel. Happy new year!

[@AussieWristWatch]

Thank you!🙏🏻

[@saucemac8384]

Great video! Love your collection! Has made me reach for my Luminor today, it hasn’t been getting much wrist time…

[@AussieWristWatch]

Excellent, glad I could be of service! haha Thanks for watching!

[@kelvynbettridge]

Jessica always interesting to see a collectors collection. Yours is coming together very nicely. Time for a holiday to Japan maybe, I’d be interested to see what you find. Have a great Christmas and look forward to more of your authentic content in the coming year.

[@AussieWristWatch]

I'd love a trip to Japan! haha. Yes the Japanese watchmakers are also first rate and I haven't scratched the surface there. Have a great festive season!

[@KeepingWatchUK]

Class collection (aside that MoonSwatch! ;-)) Great how you won that Submariner! Happy Christmas.

[@AussieWristWatch]

Yes I know, the MoonSwatch, so divisive, your comment made me laugh. I still can't believe the Sub win either and it's been about 10 months. Thanks for watching and Happy Christmas to you too!

Great collection. I love SOTC video's. Fears will be my next purchase. It will be a LE Brunswick. Going to go check them out today to decide which one. Merry Christmas!!!

[@AussieWristWatch]

Oh the Brunswick's are awesome, I would love one. I think it would fast become a daily wearer! Good luck! Merry Christmas to you too!

[@watch_girl_life]

You go Jessica. Good on you and your channel. Great collection and content. We should start an Aussie watch PC.

[@AussieWristWatch]

Thanks, yes let’s do it!!

[@JohnBowman-ut4dz]

Hi really liked your collection surprised on the size of some of the watches. as I where bigger watches as my wrist size is 215mm but good to see some larger watches on KZbin thanks John

[@AussieWristWatch]

Thanks John! Happy Holidays!

[@ricradoineds]

That Panerai Luminor is the king of the very nice collection! The case back is very gorgeous as so the sandwich dial is pretty legible! Thanks for the STOC, a very great new year!

[@chuckandary7115]

Cool video nice collection keep doing you, and who cares what others say Plus who cares who you love that’s your business lol not sure why people worry about others Also as to my collection I have a Rolex explorer one 39mm, and a heuer Carrera reissue, an iron man timex which was my first watch my parents got me when I was 12 and what got me into watches, I would like to get a Rolex date just with a blue dial and a fluted bezel,

[@AussieWristWatch]

I have to admit the Date Just is super classy and I didn't really appreciate it until this year - that would be an awesome get for your collection... fingers crossed for you!

[@h.l6344]

Nice modest collection... you are right with the Rolex not pretentious, especially the explorer and sub 👍 my next year watch would be the Seamaster 300 75th anniversary, but hopefully in the grey market because the retail price is ridiculous 😂

[@AussieWristWatch]

Oh the SM 75th would be awesome, yes agree price is a little crazy! Good luck!

[@talkingtofu]

May i ask whats your wrist size? the sub looks good on you

[@brian6290]

I discovered your channel recently, and I like the fact that it's a chat about watches rather than a formal review channel (also like those). So thankyou for the one-sided conversations. It's interesting to see your collection, and I'm looking forward to see how it will change in the coming year. Χρόνια πολλά.

[@AussieWristWatch]

Thank you so much! I’m going to ask Mum to translate the last two words!

[@-Lokky]

Out of your entire watch collection my favorite is the FEARS watch, I agree, It's stunning, It expresses intelligence, I'm surprised to hear you don't wear it often, I like smaller watches, I won't wear any watch over 36m ... good idea to block inappropriate, homophobic and misogynistic idiots, but trolls give us a break, we're great conversation starters and let's face a simple truth a troll is nothing more than a person with a different opinion to yours ... just saying.

[@AussieWristWatch]

Thanks, the FEARS is great for sure! His other watches are also on the same level of elegance and class. I think a contrary view on something is fine, but when it's personal comments, that's not. Have a great festive season!

[@musicmediaoutlets123]

Any explorer is addicting....its such a hit of dopamine!

[@martinweyden40]

Take a look at this watch. And tell me what you think of this Luminor Due Luna PAM01180 panarai

[@AussieWristWatch]

I know this watch, they are catering to a market that probably isn't me, but I think they are very pretty and perfect if someone loves Panerai but always thought they were way too big for them.

[@PheasantPluckersMate]

Love the video and the collection. That Fears and those Panerais are absolute class…❤

[@AussieWristWatch]

Thanks!

[@ListenToPowerViolence]

Awesome collection. Is the Sub your favourite?

[@AussieWristWatch]

[@brynroberts9880]

Nice collection. I love your channel, it's similar to how such channels used to be, enthusiasts talking about their collections, not trying to sell anything or talking about the market/industry. My one "critique" is that you sometimes come over a little bit defensive. There's no need, you're great. Looking forward to more next year!

[@AussieWristWatch]

Thanks for watching and commenting this year. I'll take on board that bit of feedback, you're probably right, I'm human. Thanks again.

[@sylvainb.coternbsc.n4896]

Hello ! The algorithms suggested me your site. I clicked to have a look. I also like watches. Geez ! I said to myself : 'Alejandra ? She has a watches' channel ?!' My colleague Alejandra is a nurse like me. She's from Venezuela. We work in home cares in Montréal. She arrived in Québec more than 30 years ago. It seems she may be your doppelganger or a look alike. I showed your video to 3 colleagues without saying anything. The 3 said : 'Alejandra ?!' I know it sounds weird to write that down. My colleagues said : 'make a comment. She will appreciate.' I took my courage and I decided to write a comment even if I made a fool of myself. What a coincidence. I hope I didn't offend you. I subscribed to your channel. Nice SOTC. Bravo. Keep up your good work. As we say in French : 'Joyeux Noël (Merry Christmas)' to you and all your loved ones. Season's greetings from Montréal. n.b. : I'm gonna show your video to Alejandra on December 28. She's off until then. Take Care.

[@AussieWristWatch]

Hello! Wow a doppelgänger- they say we all have one in the world! Thanks for the comment.

[@laurencehogg6010]

Love the Monaco; love the Panerias even more. I caved and bought one this year - 44mm blue luminor and I absolutely love it. I fast-forwarded the rolex though 😂. Have a great Xmas and New year; peace and love from the UK. PS - some of the highlights of my year have been responding to your trolls. I was particularly proud of my response to the fool who wasn't interested in woman's opinion of a man's watch, which may have suggested the poor sap would have more luck with ladies if he stopped asking their opinion about his comics and action figures. Happy days. Edit: next year, you might consider a State of the Troll Collection vid so we can all roast them again.

[@AussieWristWatch]

Awesome to hear you got a Panerai, I am of course their unofficial ambassador! hahaha. I'm sure everyone fast forwarded to the Rolex part, it's unbelievable how popular that brand is on YT. I have appreciated the support on those comments, thank you! Happy Christmas and Happy New Year to you too!

Has anyone met that fanatical Aussie Panerai collector "Hammer Bloor" (correct spelling?) He's a former extreme sportsman (sadly wheelchair bound now) & his collection of these has to be nearing 90+ Panerai. He resides in QLD I last heard. His Rolex Submariner "Comex" is something else!

I won't lie I was close to calling you out on the "modest collection". I'm glad you know even 2 Rolexes isn't modest

[@AussieWristWatch]

Fair. I think it's probably past that if I am being honest and in the context of people who don't' collect. Doing a video like this also puts it all into perspective! But I've seen some crazy collections this year that people have.

[@PabloTBrave]

Always mixed feelings with the panerai 944. it does looks amazing, but whoever decided to make a panerai with the famous crown guard with only 30m WR need locking up for insanity. Even if it didn't have the divers crown guard I'd still be dubious but I'm a clumsy bloke and 30m would worry me every time I wore it. For that reason all my watches apart from my Nomos are well over 100m WR. I do like the look though

[@AussieWristWatch]

Yes it’s divisive. Whilst I appreciate the purist view on this, my personal view is, I’m never swimming with it so that doesn’t matter to me. I also understand the clumsiness POV.

[@TruthProphet2045]
