The Nick Shabazz EDC Collection Update 2022: Part 2, Watches

[@vladyakubets]

I think all the years of hearing Nick say “don’t get into watches” has subconsciously formed me into a one watch guy. I was blessed to be able to afford a Omega SMP 300M a few years ago, and it’s been my one watch ever since.

[@midwestgear]

Been a watch collector for a long time. The one thing I can recommend without fail is fluco aftermarket straps. Nothing better.

[@bigdadgigachad3042]

These collection videos were fantastic Nick. Thanks for sharing. If you have any other collections or interesting items I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say, we'd be very happy if you chose to share that in video format with us. Happy holidays Nick

[@codys5727]

I absolutely love the vintage style 300 omega. On my short list of watches for the next year or two

[@michaels3429]

I can totally see nick at a rave club with his bunt strap watch. Which is weird cause I don’t know what nick looks like 🤔.

[@thewatchfemme4051]

But we know what he sounds like! 😊

[@Emily-pd2hi]

I don’t know how you could not know what he looks like. I’m quite sure that he resembles a certain orphaned horned vigilante that has a penchant for breaking ribs that are of others and of himself.

[@spoontastico]

He looks a lot like Bruce Wayne.

[@Theflyguy522]

That Oceanus was the star of the show for me 👌👌👌

[@davidwatson3035]

Great collection Nick, but please try a GW5000-U I'm sure you'll like it. Happy holidays and all the best to you and the wife for 2023.

[@denisdaly1708]

A really nice collection. Glad you like the Formex. Great mix of quartz as well. They really are sensible.

Vario , Batman y Casio vintage 😮….👏👏👏very very nice thank you my friend

[@tkindschi]

I definitely gravitate to the micro-brand when it comes to watches. Some of them are ridiculous. But when you find "the one" that fits your personal sense of "good", they can be had for a comparatively reasonable price. For me, the Second Hour Mandala rang that bell, and I don't feel the need right now to look further....

[@ranger5281]

The Christopher Ward Supercompressor and Casio Oceanus are calling my name... as are the Omega's. Thanks for sharing.

[@marcgoulding5230]

Nick, I very much appreciated your thoughts down front.

[@Randy_G]

Omega’s are my most favorite watches and can only hope before I die that I can actually own a seamaster 300. Great video.

[@RebelRobot01]

The higher end Oceanus watches are actually available on Casio USA's website.

[@bigdadgigachad3042]

You're into EDC so I'm surprised you don't have a Marathon GSAR

[@davidmarshall7752]

"It's the thought that counts and it is absolutely quite a thought."

[@JamesNatal-si3oc]

Great video--informative and entertaining, as always. Your admonition about not getting into watches constantly runs in my mind as I feverishly scroll through the offerings on eBay. And speaking of offerings--what brand is the Ti bracelet you added on the Maratac? Nice aftermarket Ti bracelets are really hard to find and that one looks great and would work on some of my Citizen Ti's as well. Thanks for any info you can provide.

[@TheStoiZi2]

I enjoy that u kept the Serica, it’s one of my favorites

[@eppenga]

Casio Oceanus, the original one, still my favorite!

[@bornruthless7902]

I just came here to say I sound have took your warning seriously. I traded into a seiko prospex and now have 3

[@classicsciencefictionhorro1665]

Watches will be the death of your budget. Trust me on this.

[@bronco1199]

That Seamaster 300 is awesome!!!!!

[@void1984]

Seiko new MAS62 looks interesting, but no 1250EUR interesting.

[@_guillermo]

Lol the video description is perfect 😂

[@markedfortime]

I just picked up the GMT. It's an awesome watch!

[@nolanwalker7250]

Solid collection. I feel like it’s just missing Zelos 🤫

[@TheSMPStudios]

Very nice collection, Nick! I did not know Pachenko made watches as well! Might have to hunt one down to match my EDC!! As far as Omega goes, yes, they are expensive, no denying that, but, compared to other luxury brands they are a steal. For the price, you get one the best movements in the business, the co-axial, and purchasing one is very straight forward. You can easily go to the boutique and buy one msrp. You don’t have to get on a list, buy pieces that you don’t like so they “allow” you to get the ones you like or go to the gray market (unless you want to) to get one at many times the msrp. With your Seamaster, I almost got it, but, like you, it wore kind of thick for me. The Original “Goldeneye” wears much thinner, even the automatic that Brosnen wore in the later movies, wears much better so I decided to go with that one! The micro brands are killing it and truly changing the watch game! No need to worry about getting mugged when wearing one!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

[@sagnikchaudhuri4142]

But they have hiked the prices like crazy recently.....

[@TheSMPStudios]

@@sagnikchaudhuri4142 I’ve noticed!! Bad for buying, definitely, but I can take solace in that my 3 Omegas haven’t depreciated, if you’re into that kind of thing. For me, Omegas remind me of my grandfather. He gifted me a Constellation many years ago that got stolen. I was able to get all the stolen ones except that one.

[@todaysgrailtomorrowsbeater]

Not bad!!!

[@righton1]

Awesome collection Nick.

[@EDC_Bond]

Surprised to see that the Monta Noble left the collection

[@rikard1414]

I got me a new Casio from Japan this time the CASIO G shock GW-M5610U-1CJF (only sales in Japan) it’s blue instead of the more common red one.

[@glennpettersson9002]

After watching the knife video I have made sure to have a bootle of water handy for this one.😃

[@randallkelley3599]

Hey, I bought a 1958 MICKY MOUSE watch for my wife. Pink, and it still works. Cost a zillion dollars but she is worth it, (maybe)....

[@denisdaly1708]

"Do not get into watches!".. ha... too late. Happy Christmas

[@fakerfake1]

I got in to watches… 😬

[@user-wr6nj8du1r]

Part 3 challenge coins and worry stones

[@iangraham705]

You’ve definitely got field watches covered there…

[@plausible.deaniability]

wow

[@2manysigns]

Nice

[@mikemjp1573]

I skipped through but didn't see Monta or Tudor, are they gone now?

[@alexlilano1931]

The Seiko Alpinist and the quartz Bretling are gone which is okay. I cycle through watches too.

[@NickShabazz]

Monta was gifted to my Godfather, and the Tudor moved on, never could love a non-adjustable bracelet.

[@mikemjp1573]

@@NickShabazz thanks for the info.

[@ogenmatic]

I don’t have enough time to get into watches…

[@AhmadRiyal]

Sad to not see your monta in ur collection anymore

[@NickShabazz]

It's a great watch, but I gave it to my godfather as a celebration of a big honor he got. I'll probably own another at some point!

[@AhmadRiyal]

@@NickShabazz ooo thats a good reason to give it away!

[@annsparling4131]

You need a Murph

[@NickShabazz]

I do! The new, smaller Murph is definitely appealing. :)

[@michaels3429]

WATCHES

[@dude28405]

If you’re talking about caliber then you’re really talking about spending money if you get into different calibers of firearms collecting They’re just about as expensive as the calibers in the back of your Rolex

[@dissident_mantis7]

Sell all of that crap (Minus the Casio World time and Seiko) and buy yourself a proper watch. Get a Tudor Pelagos. The age of Omega is over the time of the Tudor has come!

[@dissident_mantis7]

But in all seriousness Nicky boy if you want to review a proper diver, i’ll send you my Pelagos.

[@NickShabazz]

I had a Pelagos once. Nice watch, but too thick and big. Looking forward to checking out the smaller one soon, though!

[@theodorew.denneyiii2695]

First!

[@profesorEDC]

Ohhhhh my god (Shabaz style)...you evil man😈 ...and you date say "do not get into watches" 🙈. I really gotta stop watching your watch videos🤣🤣🤣🤣
