SOTC | Reflecting on 2023 and my watch collection so far

[@Sabrermk42]

Not all of these watches are to my taste, but I feel that's what makes your collection great. You clearly don't have "brand allegiance" and just buy what you like, regardless of resale value etc. I respect that and wish more of the watch community did the same. Great video!

[@watchgrok]

Thank you! Also, thank for sharing your thoughts. It is true, that I like to get what I like. I just don't see the point in buying because other people like it, if it doesn't appeal to you.

[@Sabrermk42]

@@watchgrok I’ve done it with my own collection at times. I’ve felt overly concerned with it having “order” or a theme and elected not to buy watches that I genuinely liked because they wouldn’t “fit”. Life is too short to rob yourself of enjoyment. Buy and wear what you want.

[@watchgrok]

@@Sabrermk42 Those are some great words of wisdom. I will do my best to stay the course! I completely agree, life is too short.

[@DavidWilliams-zn2nc]

Absolutely … well said, not everything is to everyone’s taste….. but surely we should all be respectful of others🤷🏻‍♂️👍

[@mikevu6071]

thats a hell of a watch collection. one of ur watches it basically my whole collection

[@watchgrok]

Thanks! Haha, it has been a wild ride!

[@combolife]

For a ‘newbie’, you have a large and diverse collection, which is great. Like that you buy to wear rather than for investment, which is why your collection is quite interesting. Keep it up

[@watchgrok]

Thank you for the kind words! Yes, I believe watches should be worn! Thanks for watching and your support!

[@nkonig1]

You do you, you clearly got deep pockets but might want to consider slowing down whilst you really get a grasp of your preferences. However, if you can afford it then who am I to tell you otherwise. Great collection.

That is good advice and I have been trying to narrow down my collection. We’ll see what the future holds!

[@johnrb9397]

Wow wow wow what a collection and you have been doing so for a relatively short time. My whole collection would not equate to the cost of one of you watches!! You must be doing quite well for yourself. Congratulations! My favourite would be the GP in Aston Martin green.

[@watchgrok]

Thank you so much! I also like the GP, it’s a great piece

[@Kairosdex]

Gorgeous watches, love the uniqueness. Doesn't feel like someone just picking the hit pieces, and just going with what they love. The Grand Seiko is insane. Also love the GP Aston Martin, very fun watch.

That's the first grand Seiko Ive wanted ❤ thanx for showing

[@watchgrok]

Thank you for watching! And that’s awesome! Grand Seiko is an amazing brand, you should look at some of their other pieces too!

[@tombundgaard]

Cool collection, good journey. I like how you are very honest about appreciating a watch but not connecting with it. This is something we all experience, and we only know this once we’ve had it for a short while. Like your views. One very good thing you do: You put every watch on wrist and let us see it. That is crucial for understanding the size and wearability, so do continue to do this. Thumbs up!

[@watchgrok]

I appreciate the feedback! I will definitely continue to show the watches on the wrist and please feel free to provide any feedback on future videos on how I can improve!

[@spiritualdeath101]

Impressive - much to my taste. Thank You.

I really enjoyed your collection. I can only dream about most of your watches at this point. Great video, great content. Thanks for sharing.

[@watchgrok]

Thank you! Maybe someday. I have been blessed to have to opportunity to buy these and collect these watches.

[@spokebolt5454]

Love your collection! My where to go suggestion would be grow your dress game. Maybe Glashutte Senator or Pano in Rose and 40s would suit your larger wrist and be way different from your current lineup.

[@watchgrok]

Thank you! That’s good feedback. I’ve even having trouble really getting excited about dress watches, but the senator is a nice piece. I’ll have to think about it some more. Thanks for the suggestions!

[@bernal4444]

Insane collection! I had the Laureato blue dial 42mm for almost a year. Ended up selling it because I was trimming down the collection and something about it seemed to just not wear right on me. Recently got a cw12 blue dial and it’s an incredible watch for the money and I’ve finally found my issue with my old GP. It was just a tad too big. Even with a 7.25 wrist I felt the dial was just too big. If they ever make a 40mm model I’ll be first in line.

[@watchgrok]

Thank you so much! The laureato is a great watch, have you tried the 38mm? CW12 is an awesome choice! Wear it in good health my friend!

[@soopafly887]

Very nice collection. I believe you need a Cartier. Tank skeleton or pasha or any of skeleton line. You will fall in love with it

[@watchgrok]

Thank you! Thanks for the tip... I have tried to find a Cartier that I like, but I haven't found one... for one reason or another. I'll keep a lookout though!

[@kimchiwasabee]

I wish,my CW12's neighbour in a box would be a CODE 11:59,too. Daaamn,what a nice piece.

[@watchgrok]

Haha, it is a nice piece. Maybe one day a code 11.59 will move in!

[@BlendedWhiskey]

Real nice collection, thanks for sharing

[@watchgrok]

Thank you!!

[@brianshea4906]

Big fan of the collection, very similar to what I would own given your means! Love the artem straps, seems like your not a big bracelet guy, love the code actually over a royal oak because I’m more of a strap guy. Can very much relate to your choices!

[@watchgrok]

Thank you! Actually lately I’ve been enjoying rubber straps more for the comfort and versatility

[@george88pizza43]

Just found your channel and really enjoyed this! Have you thought about trying a watch with an enamel dial? I’m thinking Anordain (used as their waiting list goes into 2029!) or Vitreum - a Danish micro brand that makes pieces with stunning dials. Due to the enamelling process each watch is a piece unique which is pretty awesome. Interested to know your thoughts, could be something different/new to complement your fine collection. Cheers

[@watchgrok]

Thank you! I did look at Anordain, their dials are gorgeous and really awesome to look at. Not sure it’s my style though. I did get to meet people from there at a watch fair and they explained the whole process and how the dial is actually smooth, but looks textured. Thanks again for the kind words, and I will keep a lookout for enamel watches to see if anything catches my eye!

[@davidelliott948]

Enjoyed the video! You have accumulated some great pieces in a short period of time. The Milgauss looks great on the orange strap!

The first watch you show is the grand Seiko sky flake!!! Oh wow that’s the watch I really want next, absolutely beautiful.

[@watchgrok]

Thanks for watching! It is an absolute stunner and I hope you’re able to get it soon!

[@gregdepot]

Seems like a tasteful collection, not sure Id consider Cristopher Ward a Beater, but yes expensive then your others. But to most people on earth 1000-1500 for a watch is insane. The most I have spent on a watch is my CW Sealander, just orderer a Hamilton which has higher MSRP but was near 60% off. I may spend more at some point but pretty happy with these.

[@watchgrok]

Thank you! Haha, fair point. CW Sealander is a solid choice!

[@jussil5762]

I too started my collection with Skyflake😁

[@watchgrok]

That's awesome! It really is a great one to get the collection going.

[@WatchesCanBeFun]

I like how you have an AP and a Christopher Ward in the same collection, as well as jlc Tudor etc. I love the variety :)

[@watchgrok]

Thank you! Haha yeah, I think it’s good to have variety. And I want to add pieces to my collection that I really like and I can connect with.

[@PabloTBrave]

Nice collection, My pelagos LHD is my most worn watches never have to find an excuse to wear it, love the feel the style and the quirkiness nit found on the normal pelagos. I do like what you did with your milgaus

[@watchgrok]

Thank you! The LHD is a great watch, and I have looked at it more than once. You are absolutely right about the quirkiness of it. Wear it in good health! Appreciate the kind words about the Milgauss! I feel the reactions I get are pretty polarized, either people like it or they hate it. But it's all good, because I LOVE it :D

[@captkerosene]

@@watchgrok Like the Milgaus too, but, looks even better with the white dial and orange strap. :) Go BTC.

[@watchgrok]

@@captkerosene Haha, I can see how that would look nice. My favorite color is blue, so I definitely like the blue dial with green sapphire :D

[@robertp5123]

Love the Omega timepieces. The look stunning.

[@watchgrok]

They really are. Thank you so much!

[@ScotchOnyx]

To see a GP Laureato Aston Martin in there is a bit of a shocker, not in a bad way. Just surprised. I can tell you are more of a sports watch collector. First thing that comes to mind that could be added in this collection is a Moser.

[@watchgrok]

I am! Moser is definitely on my radar… haven’t found one that I really love quite yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I added one to my collection.

[@ScotchOnyx]

@@watchgrok If $ is not an obstacle, the Moser Pioneer Cylindrical Tourb Skeleton is a grail watch. Big watch, but the bracelet doesn't add additional width on the wrist like the leather strap. Grey market price hovering sub 60k USD. I notice you dont have any skeleton in your collection shown. I can also see a PF Tonda GMT added to your collection specifically the Steel Platinum blue dial one. Adding a micro-rotor into the collection. I am a bit biased. Owning a PF Tonda, it reduces/eliminates wrist time for all of the other watches.

[@watchgrok]

@@ScotchOnyx I just looked up that Moser and... WOW! The PF Tonda GMT looks so clean too. I will definitely look into these watches more. These are great recommendations, thank you!

[@MarkDanger777]

Great collection. If I can get a moon watch and GS in my lifetime I’ll be a happy old man.

[@watchgrok]

Thank you so much! I’m sure you will!

[@Mr-Merchant.]

I personally like a small collection of under 6 watches, I can tell that you buy what you like and your collection is amazing, that goes without saying. If it was me, I’d sell everything apart from the AP, Dark Side, Speedmaster Pro. The AP is a keeper of course and the Darkside is a very different watch good everyday but I have heard case replacements cost are 70-80% the price of the watch which has alway put me off buying it. The Speedmaster Pro is a good travel watch and lower value for when you need that. And I would add a VC, Patek and Lange. Not like you need to go that path and I’m an Omega fan so you could swap the Omegas for Gs’s but I don’t think the others are as good as the Darkside (very undervalued and uderrated) or as iconic as the Pro. Just a small collectors mind set but I totally get the larger collection been there myself. I love Rolex watches but I always go oof when a collector has clearly made the move away from them.

[@watchgrok]

Thank you so much for your feedback! I think those are all solid recommendations. I have made some changes but I will most likely be selling a few pieces as my tastes have changed a little and I am honing in to what I really love. I have looked at the Saxonia thin potentially, as weekly calendar and I’m waiting for a VC dual time.

[@WatchesBeAwesome]

You've a great collection, buddy! They are spectacular! I love that Omega AT World Timer and Dark Side of the Moon!

Great collection and I like that for you. Glad you stick to what you like and don’t go with the masses. How long did it take you to collect these watches? Any information will assist me as I’m starting my watch collection.

[@watchgrok]

Thank you! Yeah, I have evolved my taste, and I am particular about what I like. I went on a speed run and acquired these in one year. I had something come up where I used watches as an escape and so my journey definitely has not been normal. I would say as you start your collection, go try on watches, and try them on again. Also find an AD where you get along with the sales person and as you get to know them, get to know the store director as well. Also stop by even though you don't buy anything, or are just waiting for a piece. The more you show your face, they more likely they will remember you, and the more likely they'll allocate something to you. I'm happy to answer any other questions you might have. I have also been thinking about making a video about the "AD journey" too, to maybe shed some light on what I've learned about how ADs work.

[@atibamarshall7852]

@@watchgrok that’s would be awesome on the AD journey! Thank you for replying and sharing your insight. I will definitely take my time in collecting and involving my task. Currently been leaning more towards clean dial watches (i.e. sport, day dates and/or diver watches). Currently been staying away from chronograph watches. Right now only have a couple of Tudor watches. BB with the red bezel and Royal 41. Thank you again.

More power to you...but for me I've reached the point where anything additional just feels wasteful, even though finances are not a problem for us (knock on wood of course) When I did a recap for insurance purposes a couple years ago...I felt like its become excessive...now I try to keep the whole collection insured value under 40...want something new? Then something has to go. I've found that I wear the same 5 or 6 pieces over and over anyway 😂 Obtw...skyflake for the win!!! Mine was a gift from my wife, so its top 2 for me forever 👍🏽

[@watchgrok]

That’s awesome about the skyflake! Seems we both have a great story around it and will keep them in our collections forever. That’s a fair point… I have been thinking about what pieces to let go and to become more focused on my collection.

[@williamsomersetVII]

It was really crazy...I mentioned in passing that I wished I had waited before buying an Omega that year...bc the skyflake showed up at my AD a week later. Less than a week later she drops it on me right before dinner...she had NEVER bought me a watch before. It's amazing how much more I care about that watch bc she got it for me instead of me for myself.
