State of The Collection 2023 - My Watch Collection

[@cactus1]

I love the new Air King and the updates they did to it, especially the buckle. If it had Glidelock, it would be perfect (although EasyLink isn't bad).

[@welcomewrist]

I agree, I think Rolex did a great job with the Air-King

[@garethdyos8018]

This is my kind of collection. More affordable options moving up to the more expensive pieces. Excellent collection!

[@RabbitWatchShop]

Exceptional collection. Because you own watches from affordable to luxury and in between, you’re a true watch enthusiast, not a snobbish collector. The range of affordable to luxury watches in your collection is what I like the most here. Kudos 🤘🏻 🔥

[@welcomewrist]

I appreciate the kind words, thank you!

[@MKGamingInvesting]

I agree, but I sometimes think there cannot be a snobbish collector if the man behind it is right. Or we are all snobs

[@connor7162]

What he said

[@chanelvenus]

I like that you emphasized the “snobbish collector” 🩷🩷🩷

[@bryanryan4504]

Behind an inexpensive collection can be a snobbish collector. Behind a very expensive collection can be a humble collector. You never know, just because youre seeing from your own eyes coming from not being able to afford anything, it isn't correct to judge someone who can, as being snobbish.

[@marciobrazuca]

Great watch collection, started just like mine, some watches I got as I gift, some I’ve bought abroad, one of them is more than 18 years old, some watches I bought over the last 6 years but now with over 50 watches I stepped into an upper level I got a Pepsi a Airking and also a Submariner plus many brands like Tag, Seiko, Citizen, Bulova, Tissot etc…

[@smittysmitty481]

Amazing collection! You should not be afraid of leather watch bands either

[@DavidClarke-kj5ky]

very broad collection. and good video, thank you. have to say though, top five: your Hamilton, your Speedmaster, your AirKing and your two GMTs: they nail it in five watches… and I’m a Seiko guy. fwiw i think if you checked out the vintage Turtle and Tuna models you’d be impressed. I’ve come away from new Seiko in favour of vintage: they were so good back in the 70s.

[@welcomewrist]

Thank you for your kind words and thank you for the suggestion. New Seiko definitely doesn't have the same charm as it used to.

[@jethrojacinto2798]

I'm just here for the Seiko Sarb033. One of my favorite watches from my collection early on before it got discontinued. Not a fan of the customization but hey all the power to you.

[@filmaelculdetomare]

Agree 100% with the Sinn 356 being cooler than the Speedy... you are not alone! ;)

[@koraypektas6952]

I'm a little surprised that you don't have an Orient in your collection. I liked your collection, the order is great, I would like to say that it impressed me, especially the progression from Citizen to other top models. I was happy to have Citizen in the collection because I own a Tsuyosa, it's a great collection.❤❤❤❤❤

[@welcomewrist]

I'm looking into adding a kamasu 40, just waiting to see if they add some other bezel/dial options.

[@RozelleTajkhan]

Love your channel with so many stellar watches! For me the amzwatch’ watch is my favorite. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.

[@frank327]

❤ great collection, and brilliant mini watch reviews

[@welcomewrist]

Thank you! I appreciate you checking out my collection

[@Danilo-qk2gw]

The first one is one of the most beautiful citizens I,'ve seen!

[@agentbrandt]

You should see their Fiore line up. They are fire.

[@trendconstructor]

I think that this is very good collection. Not only expensive watches. Every model has unique style! Thanks a lot! It was very interesting! 👍

[@ryanjones7202]

That omega world timer is GORGEOUS! I am thinking of that for my 1st luxury watch purchase soon!

[@welcomewrist]

It's like a piece of art

[@pearlflubber]

Great video, love seeing your collection. How do you know what watch to wear? I’m so indecisive!

[@welcomewrist]

Most the time I just pick up what I feel like wearing on the day, but it can change depending on the occasion. I'll sometimes change watches throughout the day too.

[@1crute]

Great collection!!!

[@antenorsobral5426]

I loved the BLUE Tissot

[@craigriley9892]

Solid collection. Love to see what others spend their money on. I'm going to try and get a batman from my AD. We'll see.

[@alexjoh13]

Nice collection! It´s wild for me to see a collection with no rubber, leather or nato straps 😂

[@welcomewrist]

I do wear some on straps occasionally, however, I am a bracelet guy at heart. I paired them all with a bracelet for consistency in the video.

[@alexjoh13]

@@welcomewrist love it! I’m getting so irritated by all my braclets as I work at my computer all day😂😅 Looking to by more straps!

[@trevorskopczynski5791]

I have a 356 on a fine link as well. I wear it more than anything else I have.

[@welcomewrist]

It's becoming one of my most worn watches. Such an awesome piece.

[@ay8987]

To be fair the 36 and 37mm watches look best on your wrist. The rest look too big and bulky for your wrist size. The Airking despite size wasn’t bad.

[@julianread1996]

Sinn is a small and unique manufacture with cool less common pieces. The Sinn 356 is so different to the Porsche 356 haha

[@BHILHUNTERGAMING]

Great Content.

[@sandsoftime3248]

nice collection. I like the Sinns

[@theduck7356]

amazing collections, I am about to get some Seiko soon

[@gretavanpuyvelde7048]

I prefer the seiko SARB033 and the Tissot PRX. Classy simplicity.

[@sdm107]

Nice collection. I’m not so keen on the current generation of GMTs. I prefer the pre-ceramics. I think the Speedmaster is the best in your collection

[@61Dincer]

Which model has good bracelet workmanship and is the brightest?

[@MKGamingInvesting]

16:00 It is. I have it too. 🙌🏻😁

[@ridvantatli]

I love collection reveals

[@xenomkllclar6030]

AMAZING collection but please, add a nato strap on the speedy for example

[@ABCDEFGHcreator]

Awesome

[@drinksandwatches9956]

I think you would really like the IWC Mark XVIII on fully brushed steel bracelet. It would very well into your collection.

[@welcomewrist]

Stay tuned, I have some something similar I just pick up 🤫

[@morgan97475]

Quite the collection there.

[@wmikhsan]

I have one of those and its great

[@cr8460]

"...tool watches, just like the Air King." Hahahaha Anyway, nice video and I enjoyed the explanations/justifications. I'm curious what's next for you?

[@welcomewrist]

Looking back into Grand Seiko at the moment

[@gisnebus5600]

The seiko SRPJ89 looks fenomenal with that jubilee seiko band. Can you tell me where did you that band? I’d like to buy it for my friend 🎉

[@welcomewrist]

It's from Uncle Straps, the bracelet was originally made for the SNKL watches, but it fits on the SRPJ89

[@BocTach]

It's not about the price, it's the story behind them - that true with Citizen Eco drive

[@DopaminShot]

How can you decide which watch you wear from this many?

[@welcomewrist]

I just wear what I feel like on the day, or depending on the situation.

[@shauncol1967]

Great video, thanks. Am I right in thinking that your Speedy is the Sapphire version with the display case back?

[@welcomewrist]

Yep, it's sapphire.

[@shauncol1967]

@@welcomewrist thanks. I like your collection. We only share (almost) one watch - I have the red seconds version of your Sinn 556a and absolutely rate it like you do. Did you get your Rolex’s grey market or AD route?

[@ergindemir7366]

Omega World Timer is the star of the show.

[@welcomewrist]

The dial is a real eye catcher

[@Ivan-up7ny]

I fell in love with SEIKO SRPJ89 & SINN 356

[@masterwatch]

very interesting... what happened to the IWC 41mm Pilot Chrono?.. I also find the Batgirl + Batman both on jubilee but I suppose I do understand. The Sinn 356 being automatic will be a thing for me I appreciate over the Man on Moon Speedy as I always appreciate automatics.

[@welcomewrist]

I replaced the chrono with a Mark XX. It looked too similar to the Sinn 356, and I have the Speedmaster as another chronograph option. I do miss the 41 chrono though, and might consider getting one again, maybe if they made it in a red dial 🤞

[@masterwatch]

@@welcomewrist "red dial" my goodness that is interesting. Red is an interesting colour.

[@tanvirrahman9504]

Which watch has the most wrist time as of now?

[@welcomewrist]

@@tanvirrahman9504 it's between the khaki field, air king, and Sinn 356. I will do another state of the collection in November as it will be a year by then.

[@Elysian_.]

Lovely collection, But you should get some leather straps in there! locking. Metal bracelets can get repetitive and very boring.

[@samietran7159]

I've noticed GS is no longer in your collection, is there a certain reason you keep the AT, purchase another AT and get rid of the GS :D ?

[@welcomewrist]

I plan to add a GS, still deciding on which one to go with.

[@malibosh]

Sinn is nice

[@SwarnenduDas-gv2sn]

what is your wrist size?

[@welcomewrist]

6.5 inches

[@davec4224]

You certainly have a type

[@gjonno]

Some lovely watches, but why all stainless steel bracelet? So little variety, when a bit of leather or rubber would add some much needed interest.

[@welcomewrist]

I do occasionally wear them on straps, but I put them all on bracelet for consistency

[@imranchowdhury4972]

You have a nice collection. But I wonder all of them come with steel bracelet. Don't you get tired of always wearing them with steel strap? Don't you ever feel like wrapping them up with nice leather?

[@welcomewrist]

I'm a bracelet guy, but I occasionally wear them on leather and NATO straps

[@Georgy_47]

if you never owned a sinn you will be 26:21 offended by what he says here but i agree it's a tool watch made to take a beating over engineered a watch brand so underrated.. you will see 10 speedmaster a day but when u see the fleiger on someone you will never go back to speedy unfortunately i'm talking about my self here and i don't regeret my decision

[@jamegumm]

[@rscache]

Man your colleciton has evolved massively! So great to see a variety of brands in different price ranges too. The Khaki Field and the World Timer are stand outs for me. Can't wait to see how your collection looks in 2024.

[@welcomewrist]

It sure has changed quite a bit in a year. 2024 will be exciting.

[@fabriziovalerga686]

4 mins in and I agree with you on the hamilton khaki field. I have one as a beater watch (with nato straps) and I keep coming back to this one. little strap monster and the different strap colors bring out different colors the watch has. super versatile and enjoyable.

[@leon917]

I think u would love the Seiko Cocktail Presage watches. I’m not an expert but they have 2 different dial variants and they come in beautiful colours that play with the light amazingly. I think I’m going to buy one of them myself but I can’t decide which colour or dial variant I like best

[@Alex-gg3qm]

GMT Pepsi & Field Mechanical would be my 2 watch collection.

[@clo2715]

That King turtle looks really good!

Its such an amazing piece for the price.

[@piotrcichy3506]

I would sell one Rolex GMT and add Submariner to this collection

[@abrylrodriguez2460]

Very nice collection. Makes me consider an Airking in the future.

[@welcomewrist]

The Air-King is awesome, an underrated offering from Rolex.

[@Novica89]

Damn bro, you're rich :D My collection will have Pagani design's GMT homage (batman) in a month or so (90 USD watch), while yours has the actual batman :D Well, I will just continue lying to myself that I'm going to base my watch collection on the best $ value instead of the best quality watches ;)

[@welcomewrist]

Hahaha I'm far from rich. Nothing wrong with what you're doing, as long as you enjoy it.

[@Novica89]

You doing good sir, anyone with a rolex (or a couple of them) and some omega's in their collection is deffo doing good! :) It's a beautiful one for sure. Hope one day I get to have some money on the side that I will be able to use to buy a rolex (I love date just) and not just save it for when "something more important" is needed :) 'till then I will focus on lower end Seiko's, Citizen's, Orient's, Tissot's and similar@@welcomewrist

[@Tdr-jv2nc]

Sinn 556 is honestly my favourite of the bunch! It’s my dream watch hope to have one someday

[@welcomewrist]

It's a solid timepiece

[@whodeycinbengals]

They are well built, but the movement is disappointing. It’s a top grade Selitta, but both of my 556’s had the helicopter rotor issue, and I think for the price, Sinn could decorate the movement a little more. Either that, or lower the price a little and just put on a solid caseback

[@Martin_Steven]

Great collection! I like it a lot! You’re missing Tudor and titanium. So maybe a Pelagos 39 would be a good addition. I like the standard Pelagos more, but the 39mm would suit your wrist size better.

[@seymores]

You need a sub.

Hello, and thanks for this video Welcome Wrist. With many Seikos and Rolexes it could have been one of these so many "Perfect KZbinr collector" collections ... But you succeded to have any Casio, nor any Tudor in it. ;) And, most important, we could feel passion about your collection (and not just "I paid xxx$ for this one and yyy€ for this one"). And we could appreciate your personal journey into collecting watches (the way you modified some of your Seikos, the fact that, if you have to keep only one watch, it will be the Khaki Field, etc ...) Once again, thank you for this video. I'll be glad to discover the next state of the collection. :)
