[@boi_doingthings]

This is the type of video, 90% of the community needs. Simple, affordable and each having a story.

[@wisingup4894]

It depends. Most people can't afford all these watches in one collection. But if you talk about standalone pieces, hell yeah. Great video!

[@HarrisonElmore]

Appreciate it!

[@entertainmentyoutube3606]

The Rolex explorer is not affordable

[@MrBanancho]

@@entertainmentyoutube3606 Breitling Navitimer too

[@netkev92]

It’s a cool mix, and attainable one at a time, if you care enough to pay in time and effort to save.

[@GS_Superman]

Love the collection…so much more relatable than celebrity watch collection reviews!

[@HarrisonElmore]

Appreciate it!

[@loganpayne6831]

I love your “so what?!” sentiment for having two explorers. For me, this epitomizes what watch collecting should be. Buy watches that make YOU feel good. Who cares if you have two watches from the same model family?Cut through the shroud of hype and what you “should” do, and collect watches to wear and enjoy for yourself. Great video and you’ve got a new subscriber in me!

[@ViolinistWilliam]

Absolutely fantastic collection and I love that you do these collection videos. Love the normalcy but also your appreciation for interesting pieces and variety!

[@HarrisonElmore]

Thanks! Always appreciate your comments!

[@corychecketts]

Really great overview. Don’t worry about having x or y watch, keep on collecting what you like. I used to have 9 watches but have simplified my collection to a Speedy, an SKX and a G square.

[@subisisniki]

Damn, how do u manage that

[@wordupmybrotha]

Just subbed. I like your speaking style - doesn't like you're reading a script. Very cool collection. I got into collecting only about year ago. The method to my madness was that I wanted a sweeping second hand, so I got a Bulova Precisionist Jet Star; wanted a beater solar watch, so I got a Citizen Chandler; for an automatic movement, got a Submariner homage; for a retro dress watch, got a Seiko solar tank....and so on. Haven't ventured into luxury watches; don't want to right now.

[@TheTopStarz]

Nice collection and the collection is more appealing to me because you're presenting yourself as a normal/average person, because I'm sure we've all seen the super expensive and even super rare watch collections from millionaires and it's usually the expected to a point

[@HarrisonElmore]

Appreciate hearing it!

[@zaccccc3243]

Hey Harrison, this is the first video from you that I’ve watched and it made me subscribe to your channel already. Keep going with this kind of videos that expresses your genuineness and personal style. I follow a lot of watch youtube channels and feel you have the makings of Adrian Barker or Teddy Baldassarre. Helps that you have an attractive appearance too! Good luck and I hope you do really well here.

[@HarrisonElmore]

Really appreciate that! I just try to be myself and so far people share my approach or at least enjoy hearing it. I’m around for the long haul, so we’ll see!

[@wordupmybrotha]

Never heard or seen Adrian, but this is my first video of Harrison and I like him better than Teddy.

[@veetour]

The second G-Shock 4:22 is the GWM5610-1. I have the same one. It’s the best fitting G-Shock for smaller wrists, and I like that it’s not chunky and rather slim.

[@JamesL88]

I remember your King Turtle review and how highly you spoke of it, to see it in your collection here makes that review all the more genuine and I'm more convinced that I'll add one to my collection

[@HarrisonElmore]

It’s a pretty cool beefy watch, that’s for sure!

[@TheWatchDoggg]

Great collection. Love the explorer, i want one myself. I have a small collection too. Its tough because you always want one more watch. Enjoy what you have

[@steelsteez6118]

exactly!

[@HarrisonElmore]

The journey never ends! Take your time. It'll still feel fast by the end

[@matteochiarino662]

I feel like a watch by Orologi Calamai would fit perfectly in your collection. It's an Italian microbrand run by Francesco Calamai, whose father and grandfather were aviators and so he created this brand with aviation as its main "theme". Except the fact they use top grade Sellita movements (the highest quality Sellita movements except for the COSC ones) and have cases, dials etc. built by really good manufacturers, the really cool thing about the brand is that their cases are made of steel from an F-104 fighter jet, and they come with all kinds of papers to certify which turbine the steel was from. They even make special editions for the Italian military corps only. I think the MC-72 (same one that I own) would be a great add to your collection, especially if you sold the Tudor. Not sure if there's any videos in English out there about the brand, but the story behind it is really fascinating, and the turbine steel idea is just poetic imo.

[@manueljnegrete5048]

Hello Harrison, like this video. As to your two explorers, your explanation as to why you have two your explanation makes too much sense. Your common sense in a world in which common sense is no longer so common is refreshing. I acquired my Breitling a23322 exactly like yours a few months ago and after a long road of lusting after the next watch I have finally reached personal satisfaction as too my collection and after a few months have what I feel is "my" perfect collection. Keep up the good work.

[@tjs1189]

Let’s break the smartwatch stigma! I have a Garmin Fenix 6X and I wear it every day for workouts, running, sleeping, and sometimes just lounging so I can get alerts when I don’t know where my phone is. It’s my most worn watch, honestly. But that doesn’t take away my watch collector cred! At least it shouldn’t.

[@RabbitWatchShop]

Did you get rid of your Pelagos?

[@shaheenevans]

Same question

[@TheWatchDoggg]

Yeah he did. I think I he said it a few videos back. It's a cool watch

[@RabbitWatchShop]

@@TheWatchDoggg wonder why? His review of the watch is one of many reasons why I bought the Pelagos recently.

[@davixavier3261]

I’m surprised too! 😮

[@ViolinistWilliam]

Yes he let it go for the Navitimer

[@dannyg6592]

Nice collection and great episode. I also own a 36mm Explorer - it is my 2nd favorite watch in my collection. For many wrists, the 36mm Rolex oyster cases are fantastic. Robust, sporty and classy. All day comfortable, too. The only watch I wear more often than my Explorer is my green dial 36mm OP. Which I like a bit more than the Explorer :)

[@americanpaisareturns9051]

Very nice. This is what I like to see. Affordable obtainable watch collections. Thanks for sharing.

[@rareform5840]

those 2 explorers are underrated which is another reason why i want them!

[@AshR976]

Love this collection, very unique and you’re just not following the crowd…who needs a Daytona when u have so many cool stuff here

[@BLR653]

The Exp 2 on the artem beige strap is the heat! I put mine on the Rubber B Dream strap which is adjustable by 2mm ala glide lock and I love it - changes the look up big time! I'm thinking my BB58 blue would be sick on the blue Artem!

[@ThomasEmge]

Very nice collection with a realistic number of pieces. Love the stories attached to the watches. And I totally agree and the Rolex Explorers. They are similar in name but very different in looks.

[@mak52580]

I have 3 explorers in my collection: 39mm 214270, Explorer II 16570 40mm polar dial just like yours, and a Explorer II 216570 42mm black dial. All wear completely differently and are totally different watches IMHO

[@ViolinistWilliam]

It’s true. Explorer I and ii are totally different. And honestly, the 40 and 42mm pieces are completely different. Have different wrist presence

[@HarrisonElmore]

I think they're different enough. Same for the 42 Exp II also. Nice set of three!

[@dennischen8887]

My collection is similar to yours and I’m just an average dude as well. My first “luxury” watch was my Rolex submariner date I bought when I was living in Japan. Then I bought my other dream watch which was the omega seamaster professional automatic bond era. Then I bought a grand seiko spring drive and a Seiko marinemaster 300m. And today I also purchased the Tudor pelagos 39 like you did. Got a great deal, only paid around 2700. Actually bought all my watches at a steep discount and it’s the only way to go with these watches. Of course I also have several G shocks. And my military inspired watch is an MTM. That’s the only watch I feel is overpriced because it’s just a cheap Chinese made quartz watch that cost $600. Build quality is decent though. And military guys pretty much only wear G-shocks. I’ve not seen anyone wear anything more expensive than basic g-shocks when I was in the army because we were very hard on our watches and they will definitely get destroyed with something more fragile and not many could afford something more expensive like a luminox.

[@dennisbode3631]

I am just getting started on watch collection and really appreciate that you have "normal" watches as well as top quality/price ones. I am hooked on your channel...damn. hahaha

[@matyasd007]

I respect that you actually wear your watches to work, and everywhere and scratch them. I have OCD unfortunately. 😢

[@HarrisonElmore]

It's hard, but I try!

[@brunocda]

Great collection! Regarding the two Explorers, I understand you… I have 4 watches and 3 of them are Explorers (124270, 16570 Black and 16570 Polar)… The fourth one is a Tudor BB54. Artem straps are also great… My Polar is always on a Loopless (like yours) or Nato from them. Regards from Brazil!

[@cecilyau4440]

Harrison, 2 points: 1) I enjoy your vids immensely, and 2) though I have never considered buying a luxury watch, your easygoing manner and passion for watches has actually got me thinking 🤔 . . .

[@HarrisonElmore]

Nice! Take it slow for sure if you do. Glad to hear they're enjoyable!

[@brandollopez4354]

That Bertling chronograph is so fire 🔥

[@alexjoh13]

Love the collection! I´ve had TWO Maurice Lacroix Aikons and they are actually pretty great. Didn´t have the blacked out version long enough to make the strap softer tho 😅 I worked for Seiko and ML - so you have my approval 😉

[@francescosferruzza7962]

DREAM WATCH COLLECTION!!! Honestly, congrats man. Btw love your videos

[@HarrisonElmore]

Thanks a ton!

[@jared3235]

I love this video! This is what I want to see more. Guys who love watches talking about their watch collection. I clean pools for a living and have a collection that I’m proud of. a mix of IWC, Seiko, Hublot, Omega, Hamilton, and Tissot. I love when I can talk with someone about why I purchased them and how I purchased them...

[@hendersonshorology]

Sensational video Harrison, love your straight talking, ‘it is what it is’ style 👍🏻 Collection is looking solid too mate, awesome top 3 there, thanks so much for sharing 🙏🏻

[@HarrisonElmore]

Appreciate it! Just being who I am, but I'm glad it comes through!

[@adamethancrow]

Great video, have you thought about dropping some music in the back ground - crazy low in the background? But it adds a touch of depth and production value to the segment. Just a thought 😊

[@giordanohabib3849]

My mum has the Explorer 36mm, is a watch that gives me so many emotions when I put it. I am building my collection and to find something similar I bought the Tudor Prince oysterdate 90500 (35mm)...cant wait. I would suggest to add in tour collection a diver, the Tudor black bay 58 is amazing trust me

[@netkev92]

I enjoy your taste. A Navitimer (that I still don’t care to afford) helped pull me into watches. The Bremont is gorgeous. The Artem sailcloth straps may be the first of what you’ve shown to reach my collection. They look buttery elegant. Respect on manufacturing too. I had a machine shop in my garage a few years. Subscribed!

[@madmat3940]

Just started collecting so love this video. Have an Orient Bambino, Seiko 5 and a Tissot PRX Powermatic. Looking to add a nice Hamilton. Thanks for sharing!

[@ps0507]

finally a realistic collection. been looking for something that isn’t full of rolexes, tudors, and omega’s😂. love the collection brotha!! relatively new to scene, i’m coming up on 3 watches now. any recommendations on watch boxes?

[@HarrisonElmore]

Glad you enjoyed! Lot of good options. I sported a $20 box from amazon for two years before I bought this one. This one is pricey, but it's in my description

[@SIZZO76]

I agree 😊

[@ugabrew]

This was a great honest video from a normal human being. I liked hearing the stories behind each piece. Keep it up! Subscribing to your channel.

[@HarrisonElmore]

Welcome aboard!

[@jP-nw7nm]

Just found the channel and can’t wait to binge watch lol

[@JackHackett1]

Hey man great video! I have recently started to get into watches I have had a citizen eco drive titanium for a while now got given that from a elderly neighbour who sadly passed away, I also have just brought my first automatic watch which is a Hamilton Khaki field auto silver dial not received it yet but hopefully I’ll like it.

[@chadgraber4575]

I was the same as a kid with the Navitimer. I hear more stories about that model being the watch that attracts early pre-watch people.

[@asvp_m3l]

Love the collection, especially the G-Shocks 💯

[@ibanezmnm]

Fantastic video, nice collection. You are so normal , very appreciate that. Btw that Explorer… I would kill for that 😂😈

[@gordo1002]

Great collection! Particularly enjoy how diverse it. A watch lovers collection.

[@HarrisonElmore]

Glad to hear it! It certainly is

[@sigitprayoga]

After watching your collection, I started to appreciate what I have. Thanks a lot!

[@HarrisonElmore]

Happy to hear that!

[@VictorGorinov]

Awesome video, the collection is fire!

[@jorisvanoeffel4721]

The prenounciation of Maurice Lecroix was pretty great!

[@HarrisonElmore]

Thanks!

[@FredmansWatches]

Great watch collection! I´ve not seen the whole video yet but scrolled through your watches! Nice also to see a Bremont owner, I will soon do a Bremont video were the ALT1-ZT /51 is included! Have a nice day!

[@HarrisonElmore]

Nice! I'll look out for your video!

[@jamaicolFritz]

Really nice collection, I love your approach to collecting watches!

[@HarrisonElmore]

Thank you kindly!

[@cartorius]

props for having the apple watch. watch snobs don't like it but it's actually an amazing evolution of the watch as we know it.

[@HarrisonElmore]

Appreciate it! It’s super useful and should be noted

[@Tyler215]

Fantastic video and showcase of your collection. I love the explorers and that Baltic looks surprisingly nice for the price, might have to look into getting one. You got a sub from me today, great stuff!

[@HarrisonElmore]

Thanks! Welcome aboard!

[@watch_girl_life]

Love this collection. It shows your love for watches. Very cool.

[@HarrisonElmore]

Thanks!

[@robcameron9351]

The Maurice Lacroix is super cool!!

[@HarrisonElmore]

Pretty sweet watch!

[@Noso23ATL]

Love your content! Most realistic and relatable

[@HarrisonElmore]

I appreciate that!

[@frozenfenix0]

That blacked out Aikon looks insane

[@michaelriera6277]

Didn’t you own a Pelagos 39?

[@HarrisonElmore]

Yes I'll do a video next week on it!

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

Man I thought you were going to have some crazy collection. Makes me feel better about not being afford to afford $4000 every time I buy a watch. Great collection, the explorer Is def my favorite. I will die on the 36mm hill!!

[@richardwarren2024]

Great collection. The perfect antidote to Ben Clymer interviewing someone with 15 watches that cost $35,000 a piece.

[@HarrisonElmore]

hahaha very different feel for sure

[@danthemaninfierno]

Great taste, great wrists, great video.... inspired...

[@Ingeborga_Dapkunaite]

one moment I decided that there are too many black watches in my collection and gave some to my nephew. Your taste is your taste and your collection is good) My suggestion - add some colors man and play with straps

[@HarrisonElmore]

I tried to do that some this year. You should see how monochrome it all was last year!

[@natedawgnug]

I noticed you've done some watch shopping in Japan. Any tips on buying second hand watches in Japan? Great relatable collection!

[@oliverallendes2316]

Great collection and videos mate! Keep ot up

[@Lawrence64]

You collection is very cool. You should be proud of it. Having fun is the most important thing. I know people who have high end pieces and don't seem to enjoy them. They are in another dimension, that don't seem to include fun at all. Just a score. Anyways, congrats.

[@HarrisonElmore]

Well said! Thanks!

[@bowerbirdstyle7661]

Love the NASA watch. Looks like something a stormtrooper would wear.😂

[@alexandrete835]

Great collection ! Very nice combination the Explorer 2 and this strap.

[@HarrisonElmore]

Thanks!

[@patriciad9886]

I loved the "I am a normal person, I don't have a Patek" 😂 I am a normal person too Harrison, that's the reason because I follow you and some other normal people, because I am a watch lover but note a dreamer. btw I started by a Quartz Citizen 200Eur, then a Seiko 5 450Eur and so on.... ☺. It is a hobby for me, not a problem 😂. I want to keep it that way.

[@HarrisonElmore]

That’s great! The more I’ve done this the more I see how price doesn’t matter. The stories of the watches as they mark time in your life does. Enjoy!

[@ngo7156]

I don't think its strange that you have two explorers. Those two that you have look very different to me. I would not worry about what other people think, as long as it makes you happy then go for it. 😊 Life is too short to try to please everyone else. I'm a woman in my thirties and have recently added a few watches to my collection. I like the way Rolex watches look but don't like the idea of having to send it out to get maintenance done on it. I have a few Movado watches as I love the museum dial design but hate that I have to send it to them to get the battery changed. I know, I'm weird. Lol Anyways, loved your video! ❤ 😊

[@DrDrewdude]

Thank you for putting your wrist size in the description. Great collection!

[@HarrisonElmore]

No problem! Thanks!

[@TheChilu90]

Amazing collection! You have a very good taste and I like the fact that it feels really personal...

[@HarrisonElmore]

Appreciate it!

[@saadm5732]

humble, relatble and afforable...good on you mate

[@stoic900]

Best to least fav: 1. Rolex Explorer 36 2. Breitling Navi 3. Seiko Turtle 4. Explorer II 5. Baltic 6. Luminox 7. Bremont 8. White Gshock 9. Maurice Lacroix 10. Black GShock

[@adrianarman5186]

how did your watch end up on the floor to get run over by a car? 😂 that said, awesome video, harrison - i agree with what everyone else has said. this is perfect for someone like me who cannot afford 16 daytonas. love your collection too! cheers!

[@stephengarratt8027]

Nice eclectic collection . My favourite is the explorer, but, Navitimer looks amazing as well.

[@HarrisonElmore]

Two of my favorites as well obviously! Thanks!

[@tylermassie9599]

My beater is the same watch but the "save the ocean edition". Great watch!

[@jordank.6179]

I wanted to love the black bay chrono. It’s a beautiful looking piece. I don’t have a Daytona. However, I have worn friends. I believe that’s what ruined it for me. If they ever slim it down I feel like it’d be a no brainer.

[@Thijs25]

Nice collection i would add a dress watch in my opinon

[@noelpbiju1990]

That bremont is beautiful 😍

[@EsoRimerCz]

The Maurice Lacroix is really great watch.

[@cmthekilla]

That intro made me stay and watch...no pun

Ha! Love the pun though!

[@maritimuse9127]

Great video and collection. I am looking forward to the future videos where you go a bit deeper 😊

That Bremont is stunning!

[@joshuabriggs7114]

love your thinking. Nicecollection!

What a way to win a NASA watch. You even gotta swipe the card for it. So much about gifts being free.

[@MasterSam85]

Thank you for this review. Where has the Pelagos 39 gone ? IIRC it was part of your 3-watch collection (Explorer, Explorer 2 and Pelagos 39). Nice Bremont although it looks thiccc.

[@HarrisonElmore]

I'll do a video next week on it. The Bremont is quite thick

[@TheWatchDoggg]

I believe it's the dw5610. It's a great watch

[@mraskett]

I have multiple g shocks and that’s the only one I ever actually wear. Simple, small, and great features.

[@TheWatchDoggg]

@@mraskett I have 2. For you have the gw5000u? If so, why don't you wear it more

[@HarrisonElmore]

Agreed! Great watch!

[@rivers3408]

The Rolex Explorer is a very clean watch. I'm not much of a watch guy but I like them. Ive always owned Garmins which I have loved but im looking to buy a Tissot PRX powermatic I think. The Rolex Explorer really caught my eye though and may become a dream watch of mine for when im a little older

[@desireless4092]

My current collection: SBDX014 Gold Tuna (thinking about selling it) FXD MN (thinking about selling it) Mint Green Rolex Datejust 41 on jubilee G - Shock GW-9400YJ-1JF I am about to sell Pelagos 42 and SBBN033 with the idea to only have 3 to 4 watches: No Date Sub DateJust 41 Probably FXD Chrono GW-9400YJ-1JF

[@JJ-pb5ub]

The roler explorer 2 on the withe dial is just fucking amazing my favourite rolex out there

[@Ceagles6]

Each to their own. There are a lot of watches in this collection that I wouldn’t even consider. My collection includes Bulova Moonwatch, Hamilton Liberty and the like which have surprisingly increased in price. I also have a Brietling Superocean that I love and my breakthrough Omega Moonphase. Anything under 40mm looks like a woman’s watch on my wrist though. I also have a daily being my green Seiko Prospex and recently acquired the Ball moonwatch.

[@ColdComrade]

The explorer 2 is cool and Seiko made a lookalike but the bezel doesn’t rotate which turned me off from buying it. At over $400 it’s a no for me.

[@savage-goose]

Honest and interesting collection, I enjoy this type of showcase much more than some smug jerk showing us his 16 Daytonas.

[@boostandflow4603]

Love the humble attitude.

[@tellingtimewithtony]

Great collection! In my opinion the 2 explorers aren't similar at all lol! People love to hate.

[@bigjes]

I love the simplicity of the explorer , the sub , although the DJ is a beautiful piece, the explorer and the sub have won me over, it’s simply, simple and sexy , I even like the gold tone explorer , possibly over the DJ because , the explorer is a real sport watch .

[@chilledtea6614]

Nice O'maga hat!❤

[@zacs6775]

Great video as always. some of the lesser known brands might be less popular to ‘watchtube’ but it’s a breath of fresh air to me. Keep up the good work! I wonder - have you owned a piece from Sinn?

I appreciate that! I have. I loved my Sinn104. I should rebuy that one

[@suejoerife343]

Thanks! Refreshing seeing your collection!

Awesome collection. Not so big on Rolex which are over rated. Maybe add the iconic speedmaster?

[@HarrisonElmore]

Great suggestion!

[@abendiaye3330]

Check out the Casio Duro. This is a surprisingly nice watch. 200 meter dive watch. Quartz movement. Shocking price at $50! The value for the money is bonkers.
