[@varunmishra3496]

this guy has a story one can relate to. He isnt just throwing money at the hobby and gravitating towards the Swiss Luxe brands like many collectors do

[@johns.miller9192]

This guy is so cool. The way he talks… Everything he says sounds so important. I have never seen a more original collection. Totally unique pieces. Never seen before. So original. Like the beard. Wow

[@MrJonGaffney]

You're far too kind haha. Thanks for checking it out.

[@RedUNDEROATHfan43]

Seriously awesome collection. What strap was on the mkII Paradive?

[@Stand4Victory]

Great video, inspiring and informative. The thing I appreciate most is he collects watches HE likes, not, "I need to include a Swiss, a Japanese, a German watch, etc., to demonstrate I'm a well rounded collector". He was able to find unique watches that most people may never hear of. And the bottom line, he purchased items that have meaning to him.

[@mattesckelson510]

Great video. Would love to ID the nato strap on that Seiko 6105. Looking for a similarly beefy one in that color and I love the non-zulu hardware.

[@heljestrand]

Finally a guy who understands why and where a watch should be worn. Fantastic collection Jon.

[@MrJonGaffney]

Thanks M! Appreciate you watching and glad to hear my perspective resonated with you. Cheers!

[@marktuyet]

Yesterday I found and purchased a very rare 33mm Chatham Instrument Company nickel cased military watch ca. 1938 . It still retains it's original dial ,red sweep second hand and internal dust cover . it's powered by a Universal Geneve 263 movement and keeps excellent time . Found it at a pawn shop and they had no idea how rare this watch is . Like your collection !

[@TheFlyingDuster]

This is, of what i've seen, the best video of the kind. Worn and wound, we need more of this !

[@seanc5718]

That Seiko Navigator is beautiful. I have a similarly mint example, but no bracelet and that bracelet really sets it off. Great collection!

[@apegrasshoplizard]

Same here !

[@glenncharles6622]

Love it. Great video, and I especially loved his connection and rationale to everything that he was acquiring. Great Job!!

[@timemoney2775]

We have the same passion for vintage divers / military watches. There is something attractive to them that modern watches don't have.

[@dcodym]

Great collection. I’m new to collecting and am really gravitating towards Seikos and military style watches as well. MKII Cruxible is high on my list, so nice seeing the brand get a mention here.

[@masqueman01]

Really cool. More videos like this please. Great collection. I added a few to my never ending wish list.

[@alanmentzer8756]

Thank Jon, great collection with accessible and classic watches of interest to everyday enthusiasts who actual wear and enjoy their watches. More videos like this, please.

[@arlocorp]

Great video, Super watches, I have 15 seiko's from the 1970's and love them all

[@wornandwound]

Which ones?

[@dfaddaf]

Lovely collection. Beautiful

[@xavierayayaell546]

Proper watch guy. Great video.

[@MiguelGarcia-vj7oo]

Wow a unique and very geeky collection rich in authenticity......lol I feel generic now with my skx and sarb collection..... Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!

[@wornandwound]

Nothing generic at all about those great watches. Enjoy them!

[@luthercalixte1383]

Cool collection. Thanks for sharing your watch stories. This was so informative.

[@MrAdjaize]

Seriously nice collection .I enjoyed hearing about them. That gmt seiko yeah i can see why you are looking for more .

[@shahorology3275]

great video, nicely done sir! 👏👏

[@kristwong997]

Can I ask for whats the brand of the black Velcro strap you have put on for your mk2 please?

[@morgan97475]

That last Seiko GMT is nice.

[@samehh.b.alexandria9350]

Nice collection! I love that seiko gmt model. Unfortunately seiko dont make such simple clean looking 4 hand watches any more. Thanks for the video. BTW.. i subscribed to the channel. Thanks again. Regards.

[@jiggythehog]

Great video for sure 👍

[@fredo1070]

Great collection of watches, with great stories.

[@craig2100]

Nice video and extending your collection to other models i hadnt considered until now.

[@vidhyutgadia4566]

How sick is that Stowa?! One of the best collections have seen. So meaningful.

[@sureshobhan]

In love with the Mark II super clean watch and dial...very industrial and tool like...Titanium I guess...

[@stever7097]

Good review particularly liked the scuba pro.

[@ClassicalProtestant]

Jon what is the type of strap on your Paradive?

[@Tobster0711]

Very cool collection!

[@Marcuse2010]

What's the strap on the Paradive watch?

[@guitoto522]

Do you have the answer ?

[@veryfullbox]

Really loved this video the interviewee is clearly a thinker

[@jb6027]

Great watches. You have a nice theme for your collection.

[@johnvetromile4273]

Clean example of a 6105! Consider adding a rougher one to your collection so u can daily it and not sweat it. Who knows? You might decide you like the tooltastic vibe of the roughed up 6105 more.

[@MrJonGaffney]

I used to own one more roughed up. Traveled around a lot with it and loved it. If I can find one for the right price it will definitely join the collection! This one was just too pristine to pass on.

[@FINEST-uz9ek]

Excellent video with even better narration . As you spoke of each watch in your collection you personalized the piece to a time in your life, that’s why watches carry importance for so many . Your collection is also terrific I love all of those divers!

[@kennethMblake]

Wonderful story. I am realizing my love for watches in hindsight, now in my late 30s. Automatic tool watches are beautiful and thanks for sharing!

[@wornandwound]

Thanks Kenneth!

[@TheWayofGrace89]

Awesome pieces, particularly the Stowa. Love that decentralized seconds counter!!

[@0017Bulldog]

This vid was fantastic. Great content and story told by a cool guy who most certainly gets it.

[@555Gear]

Excellent new series!

[@seanharris4621]

Are modern seiko watches any good? Goodvideo

[@leongsg1300]

Thank you.

[@vahanap1537]

Thanks, give us more videos like this ;)

[@Greyman-98]

Does anyone know what type of strap the MKII Paradive is on?

[@ClassicalProtestant]

Jon G part II???? Jon aka Montero Jefe! Let’s go Part II!!!

[@skipper_mtb6644]

Videos of the style are excellent, keep them coming!

[@pukus123]

Excellent Presentation style and great collection :). You just earned yourself a new Subscriber !

[@wornandwound]

Thanks!

[@malikknows3510]

Very nice presentation. Thank you. Interesting pieces but not too pricey, right in W&W's wheelhouse.

[@rafayz9033]

Whats the strap on the MK2?

[@Marcuse2010]

I need to know too.

[@guitoto522]

So ?

[@burkhardlange9280]

Awesome video, W&W team! More of that!

[@walteralvarado7090]

Great watch collection! I love it. But I would have kept the 6105.

[@jeromemingus6190]

très belle collection !!

[@skipper_mtb6644]

This is a great area in which to collect, I love my cwc g10 from 1984. If it was good enough for the British army it's good enough for me!

[@Tetlee]

DH Skips my CWC G10 is my most worn watch, good for everything(except swimming, mine is a 1980).

[@arlocorp]

2 BROWN BULLHEAD, 1 UFO, 3-7017 FLYBACKS, 1-6139 YELLOW, 1-7016 MONACO, 1-6105-8010,1 -1ST GEN ORANGE MONSTER, 2 BLACK MONSTER, 1-6R15 AIR DIVER, 1 MARINE MASTER QUARTZ, Most all have had a movement overhaul. If you ever want to to a review let me know.

[@sureshobhan]

Love the Seiko GMT....

[@MrJonGaffney]

To me it's one of the very best Seiko's I've come across and highly underrated. The design language of it is purely Seiko tool watch of the time, but slightly more refined.

[@amandathompson5097]

anyone know the strap on the MKII?

[@ClassicalProtestant]

Part II...W&W, can we get a part II

[@leibue1]

i"m a costumer of this wonderful watches and i have a good idea how to preserve the battery!!!!!

[@batgiant3535]

Nice collection...add a victorinox INOX to your collection.

[@fobudomh]

Why is he wearing a cap in water . 6:08

[@greglugar2591]

Excellent vid, proves you do not have to spend a ton of money to have a cool watch collection. I can tell that you enjoy the hunt.

[@hostilegrey9011]

Great video

[@leibue1]

best watches but probs with batteries!!!!Ihave an idea how to solve it!!!!!!

[@frankiewelfare8087]

[@MrJonGaffney]

Dang it! Sorry about that haha.

[@Gampers]

Very samey

[@dasgarbuzzo4956]

WHERES THE LUXURY WATCHES

[@nflugrad]

The collection is boring and quite unenthusiastic.
