State Of The Watch Collection 2022 SOTC

[@photoshop006]

Recently came across your channel and have been binge watching your videos. I must say your videos really have a nice personality and I like the stories. Love your style of videos and love the fact that you're an enthusiast and not a collector. Believe me this makes a massive difference so I thank you good sir. Long may you continue and looking forward to your next video

[@PeterKotsa]

Welcome aboard and thank you for sharing that with me, makes a world of different to me as well. I do it for the love of horology and hopefully i too can get edified along the way. Your comment did just that today, thank you 🙏

[@wadehodges8006]

“Don’t drink too much, don’t eat too much, and wear a watch every day” -PK This should be everyone’s life motto and morning affirmation. Love it.

[@PeterKotsa]

Healthy, Wealthy and On Time !!! 😊

[@andrewgee2775]

Not what I expected Pete, thanks for sharing, cheers

[@drdesign6886]

Such a cool collection. Full of personality. So nice to see a collection not simply packed with the same standard watches. 👏

[@mahboobahmad9743]

Love the Sinn, all three colours are gorgeous.

[@JumpingWatermelons]

Nice collection. I like that you limit yourself to 8 watches. Some other folks that make these kind of videos and have a LOT of watches tend to have very dilute collections. But your style is more like mine - deliberate and thoughtful about what to buy and what to keep

[@pktsqr]

Really enjoying the focus on clean color, here. The yellow of that first Sinn -- wow, one of the best I've seen. And then the blue of the Tudor that follows!

[@scottgraham6717]

Like most watch enthusiasts, I watch a LOT of KZbin watch content. Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this video. You seemed so genuine and pretense free I couldn’t help but subscribe and can’t wait to watch many other videos. Loved the discipline of an eight watch collection.

[@PeterKotsa]

I appreciate that! Welcome to my channel and fell free to input anytime Scott cheers

[@minneapolitan]

Great collection, I like each piece. Didn't realized the detail on the dial of the 556's - I can see why you have three colorways!

[@brianpercival1829]

What a coincidence. I got up and slipped on my new Sinn 556 Limited Edition , emerald green dial with canvas strap. It fits me perfectly. Was a bargain at $900.

[@leonm2407]

Hi Peter, i was surprised to see the vintage "snakeskin " Omega gone. As for the all the Sinn's, I can relate to that. When a release gives you different colour ways to choose from and you cannot, buy them all. Enjoy

[@nackytacky]

Love your videos you’ve definitely inspired me to keep a curated collection of watches that are loved and most importantly worn. Keep up the good work and looking forward for more in 2023

[@winfriedstroetmann]

Thank you for this very nice Video. I like many Sinn and Seiko watches ! The Sinn Aquamarine I like best and I got it: when I tryed to Order it at Sinn 2 hours after the Release-e-Mail, they told it was sold out. They put my Name on a list and called me in October 😊

[@PeterKotsa]

Glad to hear that you got one 👍 Enjoy

[@nedflanders3769]

Good choice with the AquaTerra. I have the 41mm in blue dial. Awesome watch!

[@datboi__]

One of my favorite SOTC! Amazing taste and great variety

[@AndyinSG]

Thanks for sharing this. Your love for the Sinn 556 is out of the world. Salutes. Also, the camera work on your channel is the gold standard. Definitely one of my idols. ❤

[@PeterKotsa]

🙏

[@HaonProductions]

That Sinn with the oyster bracelet is just perfect. Who needs an Oyster Perpetual!

[@Super3xtr4]

Is Sinn a homage brand now?

[@4evalost948]

Man I really love and the Sinn Dial colors excellent choices love the over all watch collection.

[@markymark5557]

Damn, three beautiful 556's in one collection, seeing that get's me really tempted to finally pull the trigger on the 556 I RS (black dial with the red second hand) that i've been ogling for a while now 😅. I enjoy your quality content, greetings from Germany

[@randmacct636]

I was actually hoping to get some inspiration, given some of your amazing, diverse selection of hidden gems reviewed in the past... But erm... You Really like divers and colorful sinns huh.. thanks for sharing!

[@PeterKotsa]

I love those hidden Gems as well, unfortunately I made a decision a while back to limit my watches to only 8, so I decided to use practical daily wares rathe than babying some vintage or gems that I would HATE to scratch up

[@dhruvshah8845]

love your watch collection probably one of the best i have seen on youtube, truly shows your personality off...

[@PeterKotsa]

Thank you! Just watches that work for me and make me happy

[@artieshell9205]

Your discipline is amazing. I can’t do it. Lol. Thanks for this!

[@WatchesBeAwesome]

Thank you for sharing your collection again!

[@PeterKotsa]

My pleasure!

[@btmontres1423]

Very nice collection with an emphasis on Sinn and Seiko, Helmut and Kintaro are smiling for sure. Love the simplicity and clean lines all around.

[@fernandoespinosa8055]

Hi Peter, great collection, I love the Sinns, you are right, the colors are great., but I can't believe you let go the Muhle, it is just a singular watch., Greetings from MX and Happy Holidays!

[@PeterKotsa]

Might look into buying another Muhle next year, possibly the lumed dial..I will see how funds go 😊

[@williamsmith9561]

I love all your watches. I think you are spot on with not keeping anything you do not wear.

[@morgan97475]

Nice collection....reasonable size. I want to keep my collection at 8 or less.

[@WATCHingJames]

Great collection Peter. Those Sin watches are lovely.

[@PeterKotsa]

Thank you James

[@davebudd1429]

That was fun, I really like you channel and your attitude and your style. Cheers!

[@PeterKotsa]

I appreciate that Dave 🙏

[@poppad1187]

Sad to see the Muhle Glashutte SAR rescue timer gone but I guess that Sinn trio will make up for it. Great collection covering a lot of bases for sure. Thanks for the video PK

[@rogernewton66]

Thanks Pete. Love your videos. Well done my friend. Merry Christmas

[@ginocolella6373]

Thanks for sharing your collection, very nice 👌👌👌

[@PeterKotsa]

🙏

[@eurabio]

Great to see someone else who limits his collection. I limit mine to 6 mechanical/automatic watches and 6 inexpensive digital/quartz/fun watches. PS: sad to see the pistacho watch and the Muhle have gone

[@PeterKotsa]

Yeah that Muhle was a piece indeed. I might still grab it again if i miss it enough..maybe try a white full lime version this time who knows

[@johnrb9397]

That Artem really lifts the Tudor Peter. Yes possibly one of the warm coloured Sinn watches would be next to go.. The SLA is still on my wish list!

[@-Alpha-Omega]

I have one (SLA) and it is a fantastic watch

[@kleinbottled79]

Listen to no haters on the Orange/Orange Sinn. It would be fun to see that piece in the wild. I would be very tempted to comment my appreciation. Having such an Easter egg collection of Sinns is positively mad, but I still love it - I feel like I somewhat 'get' it. That much more impressive is your commitment to the trio within an 8 watch collection.

[@kleinbottled79]

Incidentally the 556i has always been my favorite Sinn design and one of my favorite watches ever, full stop. So crisp. So clean. So Sinn.

[@PeterKotsa]

🙏

[@2K9s]

Thank you. There’s something to be said about your candor and dedication that serves us all individually but is also very valuable as we have our own unique journeys. Well done, happy holidays and new year to everyone.

[@michaelniemer4449]

You certainly gave your viewers what they wanted, and this viewer appreciates the perspective and journey shared. I do hope to mature one day into an organic enthusiast from my current state as a chaotic collector 😅

[@PeterKotsa]

Hahaha, hold on to your horses Michael, I might just regress one day as I find myself reminiscing over past watches 😂😂

[@michaelniemer4449]

@@PeterKotsa Isn’t that part of the journey, finding ourselves returning to a place somewhat close to where we started? If it’s organic, that would just be going back to your roots!

Nice content as usual from your channel. I was laughing when I saw the 3rd Sinn. Awesome. Looking forward to your 2023 SOTC video.

[@jamesvass498]

So many cabs!! Great vid levendi…

[@coja143]

Satovi su ti fantastični samo tako bravo..pozzz

[@martinharrison4245]

Wow your collection keeps changing. I find it hard to let a piece go. My 3 faves are your sla043, the tudor and the omega. I really like my black bay, but I think my sla043 is the better watch overall. I still love my 051 though , and my collection is about the same size as yours. I've stopped buying now though, as I'm happy with my lot. I've made the same rule , if I really want to add something, then I have to let one go. But I personally find it difficult to let go. Your collection will probably change, but I don't think mine will. I've always loved your channel peter, from your early days to now, and I appreciate all your hard work , and dedication to this wonderful hobby. Your a brilliant reviewer , and your videos are always a joy to watch. Have a great Christmas man !!!

[@david12990]

Peter great collection! I laughed out loud when the THIRD Sinn came out.

[@PeterKotsa]

😂😂😂

[@vmbvmb7471]

Very nice collection. You have a watch for every situation. Great!

[@Tyler-sl6vg]

The Ginault bracelet is super good. I have a few watches it fits on. Currently I managed to find a Pagani bracelet where the end links fit my 40mm Helson Shark Diver. The Ginault clasp is frankensteined onto there to basically create the perfect watch.

[@choolander]

You are the best watch KZbinr mate! I really enjoy your content

[@PeterKotsa]

Far too kind, but thanks nonetheless 🙏

[@choolander]

@@PeterKotsa I have been looking at the Sinn 556i for while...yet to pull the trigger

[@PeterKotsa]

@@choolander its a well rounded piece. With 200m, excellent movement, great footprint at 38.5mm, I really like what they've done here 👍

[@GeeMood]

Nice collection Peter! Wow, didn't know the SAR by Muhle Glashutte was gone. It's one that's on my list. Love that Tudor Prince Day-Date. It's all about you and your own enjoyment with your watches. Nothing but respect. That's how it should be, for all of us. Here's to next year!

[@PeterKotsa]

Well said, enjoy the holidays coming up 👍

[@michaelcollins2473]

The SAR is an absolute beast of a watch. I have mine on as I'm typing this, lol.

[@PeterKotsa]

I might just grab another SAR as they are readily available. Maybe experiment with a white dial this time..😊

[@wisamal-hakim5531]

That SAR is a freakin’ beast! Tempted

[@welcomewrist]

Great collection! Love the colors and variety. Knowing that the oyster style bracelet fits the sinn is very handy to know. I'm more of a bracelet guy, so that made me even more interested, just don't know which color to choose.

[@josesdieu2401]

Where did you get the bracelet for the light blue sinn again? Would love it on my 556!

[@PeterKotsa]

Its the bracelet off the Ginault Silent Service I reviewed recently

[@Stanjara]

Hi Peter, I just want to say that those two Seikos are exceptional. They really have depth, cause of the crystal and indices, that is unmatched by your other watches. Then again, that's my liking. I'm not a fan of that inner gap between watch face and the crystal like in Aquatera. Great collection!

[@darrenlathrope2282]

Hi Peter, Always enjoy your videos ,Thank you, Enjoy the xmas break 👍🏻

Morning Peter. Looking forward to this! 🎾

[@TheBoldHairspring]

Great collection! Love the Tuna Marinemaster 💪🏻

[@alexlilano1931]

The Tuna was a surprised. The Tuna was design for underwater oil rig. It can also be serviced which means it can last a life time or even multiple life times.

[@garryclarke7695]

Fantastic philosophy regarding your collection.

[@RoryMacdonald-pfff]

Oh how I laughed - and applauded - the Sinns 😂🎉🎉🎉 What a superb box.

[@jonbravo6262]

Wow Peter, a tight 8! Tears in my eyes as you showed the previous years watches that have moved on… reminiscent of Omega De Ville with that slinky bracelet. Great SOTC collection mate!

[@PeterKotsa]

Why are you reminding me of that Deville?..I was doing great until you brought it up 😂😂😂

[@Koishishibaman]

Me too!

[@Delkor444]

Peter, you may not like doing these, but I personally enjoy hearing about why you like your watches and why those watches are important to you. Watching someone talk about their love for watches is always a good thing. Cheers, brother!

very nice collection! good taste and nicely limited - cheers from Switzerland

[@AlexanderB.]

What a collection! Love the Omega, the Tudor and the Seiko SLA! I'd struggle to limit my collection to 8 watches, especially with three spots occupied by essentially identical watches mate!!

[@PeterKotsa]

Thats why the Sinn's are there brother, I know that at any stage I want to add a watch, one fo the Sinn's will go ...thats SMART logic for me Alex..hahaha

[@AlexanderB.]

@@PeterKotsa This totally makes sense haha! 😄

[@MyAlan999]

Beautiful collection Pete , thanks for sharing and look forward to seeing future purchases 💯

[@zacharyparis]

I appreciate your unique and compact collection! I also stick to eight watches only but don’t think I could do the same watch in different colors.

[@PeterKotsa]

To be honest, i think the three are a safety net for me. As soon as I see a watch I want to add to my collection, the choice of which of the eight leaves is easy...one of these three 😊😂

[@NATHANSFLETCHER]

Very nice collection Peter! Let's see if anything changes in it next year:)

Nice collection! Every time I see a Marinemaster Tuna, I always get the urge to get one :D

[@PeterKotsa]

Many thanks Dale

[@wayneskipage7359]

Love your philosophy (Im not nearly as disciplined). However I was surprised you let the Muhle Glasshutte go. I think it was the first of your videos I ever watched, so it was the watch I associated with you most for some reason. Best wishes for 2023.

[@PeterKotsa]

It was a struggle I can tell you. However, I might buy another variant of the SAR in the near future, possibly a white lumed dial, but I have to have a look at it first to see if i like it.

[@richardwarren2024]

Excellent collection, Peter. I admire that you can keep your collection under 8 watches. That Seiko dive watch is stunning!

[@PeterKotsa]

Its hard to because I love so many timepieces, but I have to be disciplined to stay sane 😊🙏

[@mgolabek89]

Beautiful collection Pete! I only wish you've kept the Oris BC4 Retrograde, such a beautiful and unique watch. I love my Seiko Tuna sbbn031 as well. A really stunning watch. You made me buy it, btw. Zero regrets. I love it as much as the mm300 SLA021 I own.

[@felo6035]

Thank you for sharing Pete, you have a wonderful collection. But...the Omega DeVille on that lovely bracelet is gone? I love that watch so much ... I truly admire you discipline (rule of 8), and look forward to see how your collection changes in 2023. Cheers my friend.

[@PeterKotsa]

Very difficult to let go of the Deville. It went to a local guy here, he is a viewer and an enthusiast like myself, so i am really pleased it went to a great home Rafa.. cheers brother, enjoy the holidays

What is the Brand of those straps you put on the Tudor and Seiko. Thanks

[@curt4930]

Interesting there are three Sinns, I live close to Define watches & bought the Mocca & the Orange after seeing your reviews. Love the simplicity & class.Interested in the straps mentioned in this post Arten & which manufacturer was the steel bracelet? I would love to get the DeVille Omega with the unique bracelet if I could find one. I think a Meistersing could be on the cards. Keep up the good work.

Artem straps for the Seiko and Tudor and the Steel strap was off the Ginault Silent service ginault.com 👍

LOL, I put an orange strap on my Seiko Turtle Nemo. It looks so beautiful. I look at the watch and I just think it looks stunning.

[@stevefox8605]

Great video. Thank you - none are to my tastes, but did teach me a valuable lesson - it's ok to have the same watch in different colours. I love my Willard and have held off getting it in other colours because it seemed wrong somehow, but you've shown me it's fine. Cheers mate 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Bleek17Six]

That a nice collection my dude. Keep wearing them in good health.

[@Koishishibaman]

What a great video of your collection.kind of surprised you don't still have that omega deville. That was a special one! Love that sla043. I have one . Bought different straps....keeps going back on the blue rubber. Very funny you have 3 color waves of the Sinn. I only have the orange red one. I try not to buy more than one of the same watch. I failed on the green, and then white Straum opphav watches. Had to have both. Great collection! Thanks for sharing.

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks Neil

[@thegorn]

You've got great tastes and many of those watches I've considered buying myself and were very close to. * The Seiko SLA043 I would buy but I have enough watches on straps already - am keen now on only watches on bracelets * Those Sinn pieces. Someone on Hodinkee described it as having "T-Rex hands" and not I cannot unsee the too-short minute hand. I was going to buy but then that would annoy me so much I just can't * The Aqua Terra I love, but the PCLs annoy me and I don't like fingerprints and scratches there. Also butterfly clasp - not a favourite of mine. * The BB58 - couldn't get a good fit. I will dive in again the moment they update them to put T-Fit clasps on all the BB line and not just some. The Mesitersinger is too quirky for me. Instead of the Tuna, I have a Turtle which is more my style, but with an aftermarket tophat crystal and on a shark mesh. Superb. :)
