My 20 Watch Collection (SOTC)

[@bestboy897]

u wearing a gift from your mom for every run session is so wholesome and that omega might be my fave seamaster so rugged yet elegant

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

Great collection! It’s nice to see a reviewer that actually has an affordable collection and not make me feel so poor 😂😂.

[@zo851]

Love the personality and style all throughout your collection. One of my favorite collections on YT, this rules

[@johnstyron6543]

Greetings. Love your collection Kieran. Thanks for sharing. Love that it’s not full of black dial sports watches in a bracelet… though that Omega is all class…quite varied! Nomos didn’t work for me either though the movement was gorgeous. The FC is beautiful. That new Timex is spot on also. Side note, really enjoy your builds. And actually the one without the second hand on the white strap I think is just brilliant!!

[@hamid1106]

Thank you for showing the watches in different angles up close 🙏🏼

[@TopTierTicker]

Thanks for watching!

[@aSlimtube]

Beautiful collection. Love that Tag.

[@athostriglianos357]

That’s actually a fantastic collection I love the passion I can’t believe you actually build your own watches I will definitely look into that myself

[@vincentravegnani7204]

That Timex is amazing! It looks perfect on your wrist as a formal dress watch. I have an old Timex Q that my Grand Father wore as his only watch, and it doesn't have that tinny tick that just turns me off modern Timex watches.

[@pasisuominen4036]

You have a great taste! I have also Seiko Luna and Roue, but tps 3😊

[@TopTierTicker]

Thanks! Sounds like you have great taste too my friend.

[@eguy13v]

wow, that Rangemaster is awesome.

[@kerryjgee]

Love yr core collection! thanks for sharing.

[@Holden-Caulfield-Returns]

Nice collection and variety

[@nottherealaaron]

You and Britt Pierce put my onto the 2254.50 and it's my favorite tool diver of all time. I've upgraded mine to an Omega tool-less micro-adjust clasp and it's just phenomenal. That Beaucroft is phenomenal! And that Roue is chef's kiss; I own a TPS myself!

[@TopTierTicker]

The 2254 is an amazing watch. Links to the SMPs made for the ministry of defence too 👌 Beaucroft I'd my number 1 choice for a dress watch under $500. Simply beautiful! Thanks for watching mate. Enjoy your Roue!

[@wisamal-hakim5531]

Love the beaucroft. Love the gift from mum that made you run Love the omega and red kamasu Love the video

[@TopTierTicker]

Thanks mate! I love them all too 👌 Thanks for watching 🙏

[@tafaraphillip]

Great video and gorgeous watch. Just feel like the date window could have been more trapezoidal to match the indexes. Otherwise the perfect affordable dress gmt.

[@briandiaz5452]

Amazing combo for the winner!!

[@jonrosa2216]

I can't believe you sold the Santos! Love that watch

[@SalBC62]

Hi, Kieron, that Timex, the 20th, is a different version of the one that I have. I bought it in 1990 or 1991. Unfortunately, someone went through my baggage in a flight from Mexico City to Amsterdam and lost it. In a time when Internet didn't exist, getting a new one was nearly impossible. I never forgot that watch, I really loved it. A couple of years ago, searching for a vintage watch, I found the exact same model on eBay. Supposedly, kept in drawer for 30 years. I bought it , sent it to repair and now is one of my favorites. As for the Beaucroft that same Seeker in teal will be my birthday present from me to me in a couple of months from now. Very interesting collection and as always excellent video. Congratulations and happy hollidays.

[@DanGaskell]

Very nice collection! I'm going to buy that watch box!

[@rmd4209]

Nice watch collection mate. I really liked your Baltic watch, a brand that is slowly starting to become more popular among watch enthusiasts.

[@AnthonyCashmanHC]

Thank you.

[@ignaciopadilla5150]

Love that 1st Timex watch, also love your built pilot watch. That look freaking amazing with the cathedral hand set.

[@martinfay7274]

That Beaucroft is a beauty. 😍

[@jussinieminen5747]

Thats a really nice collection! Nice and varied.

[@Novatawa]

That baltic looks amazing mate

[@WatchesCanBeFun]

Hey Cross Country runner here! So cool that watches can help you in all aspects of life. They’re special like that. Also 22 minutes?? Congrats!

[@goodwill_hunting]

Great collection and i would suggest the longines, thier history and specs for the price are incredible and honestly they have not been as prominent for the last two years as they were prior which is mind boggling to me. Cheers mate.

[@Martastik7]

And who are you?

[@TopTierTicker]

Longines make some very pretty watches, that's for sure. I just struggle a bit with the price point with what else you can get. I'll definitely be trying a couple out next year though. Thanks for watching

[@goodwill_hunting]

@TopTierTicker deffinately price is always a factor for sure. I'm sure whatever you pick will be spot on, in the end it's all about what I'd going to make you happy.

[@rikdriscoll2160]

Great collection Kieron, I would happily own them all! Actually the only one I have from your list is the Casio ae1300 which I modded with blue and yellow filters and a blue/black nato strap. I absolutely love that Beaucroft, I'm seriously considering treating myself to one for Christmas!! Cheers mate, have a great weekend 👍

[@demonstructie]

If you're after a compressor style watch, definitely check out the Lip Nautic Ski. Lip also does a rectangular model called 'Churchill' that I'm absolutely sure will tickle your fancy!

[@TORQUEMADA194]

That Timex is incredible! Great find!

[@TopTierTicker]

Isn't it! I clicked buy now as soon as I saw it! Timex need to bring it back!

[@106133553]

Nice collection! I own Raymond Weil Parsifal Rectangular, Seiko SSB031 (speedy homage) and Addiesdive submariner homage. Was planning on buying San Martin or Cronos and Vario single hand navy.

[@rain-bender4712]

I swim in the affordable end of the hobby and I love it because the brands I buy have genuine heritage. Watches on my shopping list: Citizen Eco Drive BM8180-03E. Seagull 1963 38mm Orient Bambino 38mm cream dial Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz Panda 38mm Timex Marlin Chronograph Tachymeter 40mm Casio A1100D-1EF

[@stuartdavies7351]

Ending the year with a 53 watch collection. Wanting to keep it at 50 so a few to go out… You’re SMP300 is the pick for me. Not because it’s the most expensive, it’s because of its design q’s taken from the original 60’s SM200 - I’m not a fan of modern Omega. It’s been fun watching your enthusiasm, passion and evolution. You remind me of me 20-years ago, a time when I discovered watch forums and had enough disposable income to buy what I wanted. Best of luck for 2025.

[@TopTierTicker]

Thank you for your kind words mate. It's been a very fun year of watches. 53 would send me into a meltdown. I wouldn't know what to wear 😂 and bang on with the SMP. The last watch they made based on the MOD SMPs... A big reason why I wanted it! Stay well mate 🙏

[@JohnStaikoff]

Brooooo, that pepsi diver you built 😍😍🔥

[@davewelsby9737]

I'm on the lookout for a compressor also. I was set on the San Martin compressor, but Nodus have just released the Duality 2 and it's a stunner ❤❤❤❤

[@SerialWheeler]

What a beautiful collection. Particularly like the two-tone Tag, the ROUE chrono, the SRPG63 and that lovely Beaucroft. This year I shrinked my collection from over 30 watches to 12, the most recent sold being an RZE Resolute and Zelos Mako v3 (amazing but wasn't wearing it)... Currently I have the SPB197J1 Alpinist on a Strapcode bracelet, a blood red Direnzo DRZ03, a brown dial Orient Tobacco (search for it), the SNK355, SNK809K1 (on the chopping block), Seagull 1963 38 mm (could be on the chopping block soon), the Casio A700, Boldr Rally Wells Chrono, the Yema Superman Air Force special edition (probably my current favorite), Seiko SRN027 (superb discontinued model), a square G-Shock and 2 pieces that are more sentimental (vintage Pierre Chatelain and a dressy Lorus). Hope to restrain the collection to just 10 pieces, whatever the taste evolves into :)

[@markriley5863]

I have a small collection at present but one I intend to increase by dipping into the used market. There are no surprises or cool micro brands but here goes. My oldest watch is the Omega Seamaster Pierce Brosnan Quartz edition with the skeleton hands. I also have a Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical, a Tissot PRC chronograph, a Bulova Lunar Pilot, a Bulova Super Seville and a Casio G-Shock Casioak with Bluetooth and Tough Solar. I love the Bulovas, I think Bulova is such an underrated brand, but at the moment the Casioak gets most wrist time for its lightness, accuracy and good looks. .

[@eshwarrao7358]

Love the Rue dial and what a looker it is I just saw a video of watch worn in movies, Tag 2000 is worn by Bruce Willis in Die Hard if am not wrong, nice tactile piece, That Pepsi diver is awesome and i will certainly buy -:) Your 8 are awesome, certainly the Sekio concrete dial

[@cannedpineapple2702]

A 22 minute 5k is super good bro!! If you're ever in Miami, I got you on a run and a joint!

[@johanvandersandt8904]

That is such a sweet Timex! Love the Kamasu and the Casio's and the customs! Better you than me. The day that I run is when there is an alien invasion or a volcanic eruption. I get why you sold the Cartier and the Nomos. When you get an ick in a watch its just never the same. I have a titanium Pulsar that is like your Tag in my collection. I bought it for super cheap and its scuffed and scratched but there is not a week that I dont wear it. Ooh bye bye Baltic... That Omega is pure class and practical! The Bi Compax is very pretty. I bought a Seiko this year for the first time in years. Its a chrono and that is weird for me because I dont like chrono's but that blue dial is lovely. FC is super pretty! 10/10. You should try an Alpina too! The Rangemaster is fantastic but the new one is even more so! Hope you get the Laco man. Hopefully the drama surrounding it has been resolved.

[@andrewd7586]

Kieron, give the Baltic a chance. I’ve got the MR Classic Salmon dial which I was wearing yesterday. A beautiful watch! Adding to this I bought the StudiO Underdog with the watermelon dial. Good talking piece btw.🤩 I also have the TGV/Islander as well. A very good, well specced watch. Nice collection mate.😎👍🏼🇦🇺

[@ivanyallop4716]

The Timex is fantastic. I’d change to a steel strap though cos leather annoys my wrist unfortunately.

[@John-P]

Really nice collection, glad to see you're still enjoying the self build pilot watch, I'm just about to start the exact same build.

[@TopTierTicker]

The pilot build is really really sweet. Everything fit together nicely. And those gold hands just complete it 👌

[@autotrip5]

I was midway typing that you should check out a longines legend diver when you mentioned it. Also maybe a GMT from a microbrand using the Miyota 9075.

[@jeremyglebderg6114]

Hey man, seconds hand. Get your hand pressing tool, put a TINY (tiny) pinch of rodico or blu-tack on it. Use that to pick up the seconds hand (like a suction cup, but with blu-tack). Carefully pick up your movement, hold it eye level, then line up the seconds hand and try like thirty seven times to get it pressed on.

[@jeremyglebderg6114]

You're welcome, I'm just passing it forwards :)

[@chrisenchemin7183]

Hello Keiron and thanks for this video. And congrats about the three watches you did by yourself, especially the so original diver!

[@TopTierTicker]

Appreciate that! They are exceptionally fiddly to put together but very satisfying when they're done! Get your own built at some point! I highly recommend it

[@albertsylvester2981]

THAT CASIO MQ 27 THAT WATCH IS AWESOME

[@DiogoSantos3]

Does anyone know the reference number of the Timex calendar? Absolutely lovely.

[@paulb9453]

Great video, enjoyed your collection. What I like about watch enthusiasts is that it’s personal. I wouldn’t buy or desire any of the watches you present, except for the Cartier Santos (but not in two tone) and Timex (a stunner). I disagree, Timex are producing some aesthetic beaters, even in quartz. Happy Christmas!

[@TopTierTicker]

I'm going to give Timex another go in the new year! They deserve a 7th chance 🤣 Appreciate you watching mate. Hopefully I have something next year that you like a bit more 🙏

[@rossyoung8892]

Quite the year you've had Kieron, I was wondering whether you would reach 50k subs this year but you've well and truly smashed that milestone! Congrats on the growing success of the channel: My 6 watch collection will end the year like this: * Seiko Alpinist SPB123J1 * Baltic Aquascaphe Blue Gilt * Nivada Grenchen Superantarctic yellow 38mm * Q Timex Reverse Panda Chronograph * San Martin sn0116 Rootbeer GMt * Batlany fluted bezel date just homage

[@TopTierTicker]

Thank you my friend! 100k next year? A man can dream! Love your collection. A good mix of micros, classics and great value pieces. And I appreciate that it's a smaller collection too! Less is more!

[@oldred1959]

I find collections so fascinating, I have a manual job, never wear a suit, and like my watches with cardinal numbers. I would never consider filling my collection with a dress watch I would never wear or Chrono I would never use, or a colour I didn't have. So I'm a Tudor Ranger, San Martin Ranger homage (in the blue) Elliot Brown Cranford, G Shock Mudmaster. Saving for a Sinnn556. I'm not saying I don't appreciate others collections and admire them, maybe I'm just a little...plain.

[@RobtheAmerican]

Great collection, Kieron. Maybe I should do a state of the collection, too. Thanks for sharing!

[@TopTierTicker]

Definitely! I'd love to see what you have. I'll also share it on my community tab for you :)

[@John-wl9pg]

WOW. What’s the reference for the Timex Calendar?

[@jh-il5sb]

best watch in your collection IMHO is the 2254.50.........been wanting to source a good example for awhile now

[@tobya2020]

Love the video, Keiron and your beautiful collection. Thanks for sharing. Would you mind sharing the brand of the green/cream colored strap on the Seiko 5?

[@TopTierTicker]

It's an AliExpress special mate. Really good quality though for $5, can't complain. I can't send the link over a comment so message me on Instagram and I'll send you the link.

[@mengjinnchuah]

Was a bit surprised with the white tipped seconds hand on the seamaster but then i googled abit and found out some do fade after a while

[@nedflanders3769]

Great collection. What’s the case diameter on that Baltic? 😊

[@TopTierTicker]

It's 38mm but wears larger due to the flat case 👍 thanks for watching

[@RobMyself]

Complete longer runs with intervals. And you'll get that sub 22 goal!

[@TopTierTicker]

I do a whole range of different runs. Including intervals and hill work. Im happy with my current times. My long term goal is to get below 20 mins but I'm not rushing it :) just enjoying the journey

[@RobMyself]

@TopTierTicker Haha I get it. For me, it's another obsession 😊 Just wait until you start training for Marathon. You can do it. The first one I did, I trained with a group. There were people there who could barely walk a mile. We all flew to Disney World (not my favorite, but there wasn't a choice) and every person finished! Used my trusty Garmin Forerunner 💪

[@WaterJake]

Interesting collection, it really shows off individual taste. I love the goofy panda Studio Underd0g. It's my favorite from the brand. The more conservative color scheme balances it and makes it look more premium than the others. A pity about that Baltic! I can accept a ghost date on a $250 AliExpress watch, but not on something costing double or more! I'd be in the same boat. Handsome watch though. Maybe keep an eye out for a secondhand Raymond Weil Millesime sector dial. That would be a big step up, and I think they'll end up pretty affordable pre-owned.

[@EgorSelivanov-vx2cj]

Where did you get this nato strap for your seiko? I think it might look cool on my green kamasu 💚

[@KB-vf4gz]

I Enjoy the pain of the ghost date 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@drdesign6886]

Nice collection. Bark and Jack are trying to flog people pretty much that watch case with their logo for over £200!

[@TopTierTicker]

He's got an expensive lawsuit to pay for! Money has to come from somewhere! 😆

[@sweetcorn1968]

You still haven't got a Baltic cap though. 🤭 Great collection and here's to getting more watches.

[@TopTierTicker]

Cheers mate. I'll steal that cap off you at some point 🤣😉

[@nelu987]

But where's the Beaucroft Element you advertised do much? It was so perfect

[@TopTierTicker]

Those were only on loan my friend. It's also not released yet. I'll likely buy one for my collection once they release

[@maxinahunt8652]

Nomos…. Those long lugs just look wrong and such a waste of wrist space….otherwise they are good looking watches. The Panda is the nicest of SU, that will keep. I’m still working on a chrono….and a Seiko. Jealous of your Islander. Your customs are so impressive. Beaucroft 😍 Great video!!

[@Proth-h7t]

Why would you want to hide your watches away in that case? Buy an illuminated glass display cabinet and have them on show. One of the delights to me as a kid was seeing the watches I couldn't afford in shop windows.

[@jamesblonde2271]

I snapped the s/hand pinion off on my first mod, now I even get mybatteries changed by a watchmaker😂

[@DannyOhana]

Difference is, I never sell a watch, even the ones I don't like, the collection just grows and grows. 😂

[@TellingTimeYT]

Awesome video and great collection! I hope to experience so many watches like you one day 🙂. Do you find it tough as a reviewer to keep a connection to your core collection?

[@TopTierTicker]

What an intelligent question! And yes, I do. I really struggled with it at first. But it's been much better since I picked up this 8 slot case and keep it separate to everything else. But still, it's tough sometimes! First person to ask that. And something I've thought about quite a lot. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@TellingTimeYT]

@TopTierTicker good to know your insights. I may come across this problem in the future 😅.

[@awaisaqeelmuhammad1222]

Hi Kieron, Love your content, just saved up money for a first watch. Should I go for Kamasu, San Martin SN0144, Tissot PRX or Seiko Dresskx.

[@TopTierTicker]

4 amazing picks you've gone for there. I'd go with a Seiko or Orient for your first watch as they're timeless. Ones that you can keep forever. Then explore AliX afterwards!

[@Stanjara]

You like building watches? Just swap 9015 from Baltic to a 9039. Great collection, still one of us Kieron!

[@TopTierTicker]

It's not a 9000, it's an 8000! It's not worth my time to do it. It'll be a pain in the ass to sell once I'm done with it!

[@Stanjara]

@@TopTierTicker Ahh true.

[@thewholecut]

Not bad at all K! I’m gonna feel bad when I drop my SOTC though 😏

[@TopTierTicker]

I look forward to seeing yours mate. If you have any left that is after all of the boots 👢😂

[@thewholecut]

@@TopTierTicker Haha you'll find out soon enough!

[@blank0075]

Where did you buy the strap for Tissot??

[@Tbagnbdn]

Hi, Is that Omega Seamaster battery/quartz or automatic?

[@EdsonLopes]

Do you have videos on those Tag Heuer's to share?

[@TopTierTicker]

Not specific ones. They just feature sporadically. Would you like to see a dedicated video on them?

[@EdsonLopes]

@TopTierTicker For sure 😃! Thanks!

[@higgledypiggledycubledy8899]

I don't own a Casio F91 but from Casio I do have an F94, an F98, a W66, an A700, an A164, an A163, an AE1200, a W216, an A500, a DBC611, a DW280, a JC22, an AQ-S800, an MTP1303P and the pink MTP-B145. Does it count ?

[@johneast6972]

Where is the best place to look for empty cases? And straps?

[@TopTierTicker]

I'd reccomend WatchObsession, ChronometerCheck and AliExpress for straps... Then good cases are harder to find. The one I've linked in the description is really good for the money :)

[@EEE_MMM]

A watch worth looking into it you're after a (super)compressor would be the Circula Supersport. Circula is a German family-owned microbrand, and the Supersport is an actual supercompressor, rather than adoptng the style of one like many other brands do. I don't know what budget you're working with, nor do I know how much extra you'll pay with import duties after Brexit, but here (in the Netherlands) the price ends up just below €1000-- which is well below the Longines Legend Diver.

[@TopTierTicker]

Good shout. I'll check it out. Thanks for the suggestion

[@MauricioSeabra]

About jogging, great watch. But one tip: Always take a break day and do some strength training.

[@TopTierTicker]

Don't worry, I learnt that the hard way when I torn my achilles. I take 2-3 rest days every week. Haven't yet done some strength training but I plan to mix in some gym sessions in the new year. Appreciate the advice!

Hi keiron. When you sell your watches you axe, do you sell them on ebay. If so what is your account

[@TopTierTicker]

Yes, I sell on eBay. My username is Kieron-TTT 👍

[@doctorbohr1585]

To when does the Timex date?

[@TopTierTicker]

I have no clue! It's an older model, that's all I know. And its actually marked 'Assembled in Japan' on the back which is super cool!

[@doctorbohr1585]

@TopTierTicker Interesting. It has a 90s - perhaps 80s - vibe. Nice piece!

[@elrockerchido]

Can’t believe baltic does the same “mistakes” than rookie brands

[@DzejWiJV]

Skeleton watch you made it... ridiculous! 🤦🤣

[@TopTierTicker]

I agree 😂 I'll sort it out in the new year and get it looking better. It was my first build though so you've got to learn these things 😂

[@Ben-bs4od]

No King Seiko or titanium Seiko? We have such different taste. But I still live your channel. I only like Japanese Or American or Scandinavian. I have a lot of cheap watches but none from aliexpress. But if I could have only one it would be a second hand Seiko titanium. And admire the King Seiko from afar. Don’t like spending over $700 on a watch. And would never buy anything from China or even made in China. For many reasons.

Be careful with the Analog / digital Breitlings. Those movements don’t age to well.

[@LyricFaith-v3u]

Why ?

[@theshadowman1398]

@ Because anything with a circuit board and an LCD display can develop issues much quicker than a mechanical movement and are much more difficult to repair
