It's great. Women are the standard of most men. Others it's their partner who has opinions just as relevant. When you love something and they totally crush what you think it's a universal thing. 😊 Oh gosh sorry I forgot the ladies who collect aswell and their partners. Sorry

Well when I started 3 years ago and added it all up, I had gone through 25 watches before finding out what I liked. As I've heard other watch geeks say "Your going to make watch buying mistakes, hopefully you learn from them and move on" and thankfully I didn't lose a lot in reselling what I didn't jive with or wear. So buy what you love and love what you buy, because like TIME life just ticks away 💯❣

I fell in love with watches relatively late in life. I'm 52. I really do love the "journey" more than the destination when it comes to buying a watch. I have my own "perfect" 3 watch collection and I may or may not extend it further depending on how things go in my life. I have my first "big" watch purchase a Seiko Sumo Pepsi diver, The Seiko '5' GMT in Blue/Black, and now a Seiko 5 Field watch. I even chose it over the Hamilton since I didn't want to pay $500 for a watch I can't even wash my hands with. I can definitely say this though. Don't settle. If you REALLY want that one watch. Then save up and get it not something your going to settle for. I guarantee your going to be unhappy with your purchase.

Enjoy the chase is such a true statement. I recently got myself a speedy pro which I wanted for 2 years. To buy it I consolidated many watches I liked. I don’t regret doing so but I miss some of the ones I sold in order to afford the speedy. Don’t rush it guys, enjoy the process because the hunt is better than the kill.

For me, what got me going originally was railroad pocket watches, my very first watch ever is a Hamilton 22B Railway Special that sits on my drawing desk running every day. As someone who loves being on trains and spent much of my youth in New York traveling on the subway, the railroad watch is close to my heart. It's not a popular style now, but it's the style that means a lot to me - I have a vintage railroad Accutron and there's a few more I want to get. After that, I'm a sucker for a slick chronograph - they're my favorite complication of all and most of my collection are chronographs as a result. I've definitely made some purchasing mistakes over time, still learning now. Excellent vid sir!

Brilliant as always dude. I'm like the Churchill dog nodding along. I'm definitely a sucker for the hype as at the moment everything I'm looking at is either in titanium, a GMT or octagonally inspired. Never been able to sell a watch I've purchased because each one signifies a specific part of my journey, in terms of watch collecting, or reminds me never to do it again (probably why I keep my Ice watch from the noughties on my desk)- Oh the shame!

Love the honesty and you are so right, I did all the mistakes you said although I can’t bring myself to sell any of them! I have my go to favourites and others just don’t get worn. As a result I now do exactly as you do, I research the watch, watch the reviews and look at the company before purchasing or not, as a result I love these one all the more and don’t feel like an idiot when I look at them later. Great video and sooooo accurate for many of us.

I really enjoy your channel content. Your use of clever editing and (rather uniquely British) humor really keeps the energy level up when discussing what can sometimes be (even for watch nerds like us) rather dry content. The production level of my own channel is nowhere near yours, but one thing I'm quite proud of is that my unique personality comes through in my videos...much like yours...and that is priceless. Production quality can always be improved over time, but if you don't bring something uniquely YOU to the table, it's hard to get and keep people's interest. So...bravo! Oh, P.S. I love when you get your wife involved in the mix. It's clear that she supports your hobby, but also very much has her own mind about your collection. It's quite hilarious when the Mad Watch Collector and his (probably much more sane) wife converge on the topic of watches.

There’s some fantastic tips here MWC! The two that stood out to me the most are to slow down and enjoy the chase. I’ve bought watches on a whim or to tick a box that don’t get much wrist time at all anymore 🤦‍♂️ And I’ve also come to realise (particularly with secondhand watches) that I enjoy researching and finding the right version of a watch for me before buying it. The longer the research phase the more likely the watch is going to be a keeper rather than just a passing fad. Awesome show as always MWC! Oh and I love Mrs MWC’s comment about the Casio fridge 😂

I got a great deal on a new Speedy and could have sold it right away and made money. But I’ve always loved this watch and it hasn’t left my wrist in about 9 months! I certainly can’t sell it now that I’ve banged it up good, but memories for me and my kiddos!

Going to keep buying at a stupid rate with no real targeted goal or end game. Example, I keep buying watches I know will just be for display boxes that only me and my son look at... yet I buy them anyway. They never get worn, they are not investments, and no one would look at them that knew watches and think "Yea, good buy" We all need to do something we love, right?

Let's face it, everything has gotten more expensive in the last few years (i.e. homes, cars, and even the basic necessities like groceries)! So minimizing watch purchasing mistakes is more important than ever these days. Keep up the great content!

Agree with all that you said in the video. Take your time buying watches: I wish I had the understanding or the foresight of knowing this first. After buying my first watch, I quickly bought another one, and shortly after that, I bought another one. I kept buying watches, but I never really took the time to really appreciate them. Thankfully, I've taken it easy after my last purchase and am now enjoying my collection. Searching for your next watch really is half the fun. If there is a watch I like, I try to do my research on it. I try to find videos and read reviews. If possible, I like to see the watch in person. You might find yourself feeling differently towards the watch once you've seen it in person.

I love all types of watches watch’s with lots of features like my mud master GG B100 but probably my favourite area Mechanical watches I was brought up near the end of the steam age so seeing the wheels going around reminds of the piston rods on steam engine also it is up to me wether it runs or stops just like real trains the never run to the Exact time

Your videos inspired me to start my collection with a 5600 square. I immediately posted it all over WatchCrunch. (Not a plug, I just really like the app). On watch number two, a Aragon Dive Master 4 EVO 43mm

I could be mistaken but I think the character Noah played by Anthony Ramos in the new film Transformers : Rise of the Beasts is wearing a Casio DW-5900BB-1CR. It looks good on him so I am considering buying one too. Do you think it is a mistake to buy watches based on whether they look good in films?

@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR true, that ones a whopper. I'm bidding on an og one from the 90s - if I win it I might use it as a funky key fob. Wrist wise I'm thinking of a square black baby-G - even though they're sometimes marketed as being for girls.

How you started the video pretty much sums it all up, but also I would add that as you get more watches your taste in watches will change.

Oof! Didn’t exactly stick the landing there Russ. Tbh, the “but…” after “buy what you like” made the “buy what you like” sound more like ass-covering. We don’t drive timeless cars, or wear timeless clothes, go to timeless holiday destinations or decorate our houses timelessly. One of the best parts of looking at those family photos is seeing the fashion of the day & recognising instantly when & where it was. So why would we want watches to be all but indistinguishable from family to family? I hope the watches I leave to my kids remind them of the individuals I was, and not just what I liked to do with my spare money. After all, we really like The Timeless Watch Collector, but we love The Mad Casio Collector, and how his channel is a glass of cold beer in what increasingly feels like a sea of warm wee. Just my tuppence worth.

I bought the 1963 that you reviewed a while ago, the one that is in your Amazon Shop List. I love it and to be honest that's all that matters but it does have some slight differences to the one you show in this video. Have I bought a dud?
@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR
@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Жыл бұрын
I would say no my friend definitely not a dud. I’m a bit more clued up with the 1963 now but only like recently. Will be very similar plus it’ll be a proper seagull movement. It’s just Red Star are the ones that first made the reinterpretation in the 2000’s.
