Hi, I had a seiko monster 1st gen for 23 years! And it's worked great in its time for fourteen years as a commercial diver, and for the past few years, a recreation diver instructor! So, for me, the best dive watch out there!

My “one watch” was a steel Date Just for years (if you don’t count my gshocks and apple watch). It was a gift, but if I was buying a one watch watch, it would be the Santos Dumont. Mostly because of the bracelet has a quick change mechanism. And you can wear the steel bracelet, leather, or the rubber. I have two Santos watches, and I wear them all the time . I often choose them over my Rolex, RM, and APs. I really think it’s an underrated watch

As far as Seiko is concerned I'd rather recommend the Presage sharp edge over the cocktail times. They've got sapphire crystals. If you only have one watch, you'll want it to stay nice for as long as you can. Of course it also applies to the Alpinist. Of course you shouldn't have OCD with the latter. The compass bezel getting out of line drove me mad which is why I sold mine.

I own quite a few watches. I would definitely call myself a watch enthusiast. But somehow I find myself wearing Casio most often... and you know guys? There's nothing wrong with that. One gotta ask himself: why do I collect watches? What's the point of this? Is it a form of investment? Am I going to impress my friends or coworkers? Would I feel out of place patting other executives on the back if I didn't wear Rolex? Literally none of this matters. Collect for yourself, wear for yourself, be honest with yourself, it's your hobby!

Glad to get some confirmation bias on the Omega Aqua Terra. I just picked up the 41mm with a green dial back in March. I was shopping at a boutique in the US. I asked about the price and a possible discount, they told me they couldn’t do that on a newer model, which the green was apparently. They offered me a free nato, which I wasn’t interested in. I asked if they could do a leather strap, which they agreed to. I was pretty happy with this, as I was planning to buy a leather strap for it anyways. They were able to get me a dark brown alligator strap with the gold over clasp. I couldn’t find this exact combo online, however per the invoice it was $850, which seems ridiculous, the one I was planning on purchasing was $550 online? Anyways, I figured that’s in the ~10% range and I was happy with it. I doubt I’ll ever purchase a true dress watch and felt this was a step up from my BB58, which just never felt right under a suit. Anyways, great video as always! Best of luck with the new baby!

The Aqua Terra was mentioned last, perhaps because she saved the best for last. There is literally an Aqua Terra model for every single human being on the planet, as the Aqua Terra collection is gigantic with more than 130 variations. The model line has at least five case sizes, countless dial colors and textures, different materials including steel, titanium, ceramic, and gold, multiple different types of complications, and endless combinations of steel bracelets, rubber straps, leather, NATO, etc. They could probably discontinue half the Aqua Terra models in their current catalog (and they probably should) and the Aqua Terra would still be the most versatile luxury watch collection on the planet.

First of all, warmest congratulations to you and WatchPapi on the birth of your little one! Regarding the topic of this video, as of today the watch that can suit everybody's needs as only watch IMHO is the new Longines Conquest: 3 different sizes, 2 strap choices, modern and reliable movements, 100m water resistance with screw-down crown for a reasonable price (2k€ in Europe). Compared to the Tudor, it lacks COSC certification and micro adjustment on the clasp but for half the price it's an absolute bargain, even considering that quality is as good as the Black Bay. Ok, It's true that Conquests are "inspired" by Seamaster shades but for a normal person (NOT a watch maniac as gringa community) this is not material at all.

It’s a perfect watch - the dial is mesmerising. I also have a 36mm Explorer, which is also a perfect watch. If forced, I’d choose the Explorer, simply because the lack of shiny links in the bracelet makes it more wearable in sporty situations. But let’s face it, all anybody really needs is a Carrera

A Seiko Presage Cocktail Time in blue was a near daily for a while pre-pandemic. It is one of the few watches and one of the two cheapest (the other being a Mr Jones Watch) that a non-watch person has complimented me on. At its size, it's not quite a dress watch, the same way a navy blazer isn't a suit. But like said blazer, it'll look sharper and more put together than most other options and won't look out of place in any context short of strict black tie or formal dress codes.

I now own eight watches unless I’ve forgotten some. Not one cost me over US$300 and most were nearer $120. I find myself wearing the same one for months on end. One of the watches is broken, three are radio-controlled Citizen watches (one of which I wore constantly for nearly a decade) that don’t always receive the WWVB time signal broadcast here in south Florida, one is a big clunky Citizen Satellite Wave that listens to GPS satellites but has a cluttered dial that’s hard to read sometimes. Of the rest, I wear a 32mm titanium Certina with a thermocompensated quartz movement good to about 10 seconds a year. Comfortable, so easy to read, and light, just a tad too small (and it’s meant for women so I suppose I’m a transvestite). Really all I need is the Certina and one of the Citizen watches as backup if the battery needs changing. I should sell or give away the rest. They’re all quartz (my automatic Omega Seamaster was stolen years ago) and effectively worthless, but I’m sure a charity shop could get $10 or so for any of them. Maybe the Satellite Wave could fetch a couple hundred on eBay but it’s weird enough to keep.

Thanks for another great video! I loved everything you had to say except I did shave a little bit during the Rolex part. I realized rolexes are aspirational and their designs to the test of time you made perfect points there, but I am not going to pretend I respect Rolex more than I do merely because normies like them, or aspire to them because they don't understand there are better options. And I am going to roll up to the Rolex ad and ask for a discount because the current Rolex ad stuff is toxic. I'd much rather go to a boutique that actually wants to sell me a watch, and once I own said watch I'd prefer if every question I got wasn't about whether or not I'm rich or if it's real. Rolex is a good brand I respect them, but there's a lot about the brand I don't like and that's why I probably wouldn't buy one even if I had the money. Which I do not.

Love that you picked the DJ for Rolex! I also agree with the OP! However surprised you didn't lump in the Explorer 36 in there, as we all know that has been considered the ultimate GADA and #OneWatchCollection for many people. But i love seeing the DJ get love! My blue fluted-motif 36 (Fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet) is definitely the king of my collection and would be my one watch only if I had to get ride of my whole collection.

I guess you could pick any Grand Seiko with a 9RA2 (Spring Drive) or 9SA5 (high beat) movement. I think currently every single one of these comes in a 100m WR case (mainly Evolution 9), screw down crown looks good for any occasion.

The only watch I ever need is my Omega Speedmaster Professional. Of course - I own few others like Certina DS Powermatic 80, Poljot Aviator I, Seagull 1963, even Casio A168.... But they was just there when I receive my Speedy and I they are not expensive enough to make point of selling . So I just put them time to time when I don`t want to scratch my real watch ;)

"polish center links. That elevate the watch" For the first 2 seconds... I'm skipping bracelets with polished center links. Even a basic desk job will quickly ruin that

I rocked an Old Navitimer for over a decade and it was a stretch to buy it. The crock strap stunk of sweat, this thing was truly my only watch. Like an idiot I didn't understand how much the watch really meant to me until I was in a little bit of a pinch and sold it for exactly what I paid for it. I was thinking I got to wear a Breitling for free for 10 years now I'm realizing I traveled the world as a young man with that watch and no amount of money can replace those memories.

Great selections, Britt. I have the Aqua Terra, and it's perfect. It doesn't matter what I wear, or what the occasion is, it goes with everything and anything. It's not an everyday watch for me though, as I have several others, but it does get the most wrist time.

My God the Santos Dumont looks killer on your wrist. That's a very good looking watch. I agree with the Aqua Terra. I'm aiming at the 38mm in blue.

I had a Santos for 7 years. After recovering from cancer (8 years ago) I traded my Santos (which I very much miss) for a Blancpain Lemon 50 Fathoms rose gold in celebration of no cancer. Last year I added a Breitling Ocean with an orange face, which wear daily (I like orange). I'd like to add one more watch, a Santos Small Quartz Rose Gold. Quartz because my Blancpain and Breitling are very inaccurate and I'd like a watch I don't have to reset weekly. Classic first world problem.

In my pre collecting days My first watch was the Citizen Eco Drive 200m the the one with the mono block case. Years later it was the Rolex DateJust 2 tone on Jubilee, sold it because it needed the bracelet replaced and by that time the bracelet was the same price as what I had payed for the complete watch, sold it and bought a brand new Omega.

A great candidate would be the Longines Hydroconquest GMT...it's 200M water-resistant, True GMT, also has a diving bezel, COSC accurate, crown action smooth as butter, on the fly micro-adjust, sporty yet dressy. And it's under $3K. By the way, I own 50 watches ranging from $25 to $8K and after watching this excellent video, I just put 5 more on my radar! Lol

My first ever watch, very luckily, was the sbga 443 Grand seiko Shunbun I got on my trip to Japan a couple years ago. It was also my only watch for a while. I loved it. If I wanted it to be dressy, I put on an alligator strap. If I wanted sporty, back to the original bracelet.

Wore a 2015 Tudor Black Bay "black rose ETA smiley dial" for eight years. Sold that last year. Since then, bought 5 new watches. Sometimes, I ask myself, why did I do that? Occasionally, I miss the original 2 watch collection of the BB and my trusty DW5600.

Omega Aqua Terra is the penultimate one watch collection IMO! The Black Bag 36 is criminally underrated and the Rolex DJ/OP is the iconic Rolex to own!

I lived happily for years with one solitary Rolex OP DJ two tone on a jubilee bracelet. Then I became bored wearing the same watch everyday. Now I have a diverse collection of 30 watches. Probably a maximum of three watches to five watches would work for most people but my watch addiction overcomes such logical advice and restraint.

Another great video, I wish I only had one or even five watches. I have both vintage and modern watches, I spend half my morning trying to choose one for the day. If I may pick at one thing, it’s the filters you have started to use. Something I just don’t enjoy, sorry.
