Watch Collection - January 2024

[@Hiya-123]

God bless you, Peter. You’re a great presence in the watch space. Wish you a great 2024.

[@PeterKotsa]

God bless you too and thank you for the encouragement 🙏

[@rob5631]

Nice collection and it was nice to see the man behind the voice. I admire your willpower to stick with just 8 pieces in your collection. I struggle to keep mine at under 20.

[@DNarcisoo]

That’s funny, I only have one and I want a second one. But I cannot justify buying another one…I only have one wrist ahah.

[@richardbrown8099]

And me, I own about 23 at the moment 😂

[@serenityinside1]

@@richardbrown809914 … and one more ( San Martin ) wanted .. hopefully 🙄

[@GustapoGomez]

Quality over quantity

[@ivanharlokin]

Love the collection Pete, thanks for the video. I also have a SLA043 (no. 555) in my collection and, during the summer, it gets more wrist time than anything else.

[@UnholiestJedi]

Love your collection and the fact that you cap it at 8 and then one in/one out. Be well, Peter!

[@domoel]

I'm doing the same but my limit is 10.

[@franciskocum8709]

Could you maybe expand to 10 or 12.................please?

[@benjaminhannah4512]

Beautiful collection and you are right…..they’re yours and they speak of Your personality and people need to realize that. Thank you for sharing.

[@richardpool9970]

I think it's great to share watches with our loved ones. My youngest son always wants to wear dad's watches and sometimes he gets to try them on when he's sitting on my lap. If you pass on the Sinn think you need something with a strong pop of colour to replace it though in your collection.

[@clintonshiells3095]

I’m excited to see the SLA043 is your favorite watch! Love mine, which I have on a Meraud blue tropic strap, which looks great and is very comfortable.

[@mhrir]

Pete - glad to see the SLA043 MAS 62 is a keeper for you. I picked one up in part based on your original review and have been thrilled with it. Looking forward to what you have coming for 2024!

[@omegafanboyian]

An absolute fantastic collection Peter & many thanks for sharing with us all. Great admiration for your Rule of 8 , parting with watches you love video is a must watch for all.

[@drdesign6886]

Great collection and nice video. Agree the Seiko is the best looking watch you own. Its stunning. Also on the free straps, nobody minds KZbinrs getting freebies. Not at all. Personally I just think reviewers should be more cognisant of the fact it is a payment - and it will obviously colour the review. If you slate a strap the freebies may stop - brands don’t want negative press. Or you sell the free watch/ straps and essentially you’ve been paid cash for a review. Again that’s grand - but own the fact your review is shaped by it and the reality you’ve invested no capital of your own in the item. It’s classed as sponsored content, appropriately, for a reason. Hell of gift for the daughter too! And a win win for you both! Excellent.

[@deannoble673]

Beautiful collection Peter I admire your self discipline to stick to 8 watches. If only. Keep up the good work mate

[@comeonman7423]

Beautiful collection, thank you for sharing. Your right the Blue BB58 looks stunning in the sun💗

[@dhueshs4]

Being a watch collector is a blessing and a curse. If there was a way to wear all watches at once somehow and make it work that would be ideal lol I had to trim down to only 3 watches because I realized I favored some over others and although I loved them all I felt bad about not wearing the rest. Great video, lovely collection!

[@ChickyParmeSean96]

Awesome collection, such beautiful pieces, but most importantly, each one was picked for a reason and not just bought because it’s popular or trendy! Keep up the good work, always look forward to your videos!

[@leomore]

Thank you Peter, you’re such a genuine person. I just smile when I watch your contents.

[@PeterKotsa]

🙏

[@kingdon4367]

Great collection !! I Would Suggest Add a Frederique Constant Worldtimer or Manufacture Watch in your Collection .

[@jameseniolaaa]

Lovely video and collection. And what a surprise to see your face! I've only recently got into watch collecting and I always find myself coming back to your channel for inspiration. Keep up the great work sir! Much love all the way from the UK :)

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks James..enjoy the hobby brother

[@nkonig1]

Cool collection. You’ve sold all my favourites of yours; the red Speedmaster racing, Hahart 417es and the Sinn 556 brown dial.

[@PeterKotsa]

That Hanhart was never mine, I borrowed it from Define watches..TOP Piece 🔥

[@jeanlefranc3817]

Very enjoyable video, great collection. This is the kind of footage that reminds me why I love this watch hobby so much.

[@juniorjohnson5961]

Thanks Peter 🙏 Glad to see you still have the Meistersinger 👍 i had a really nice grey version & got rid of it dont know what i was thinking . Great collection 👍

[@Bennie_Bee6]

Really rounded collection Pete and love the fact that it's unique and personal to you. No snobbery..some nice mix of expensive and affordable models and plenty of variety. I'd happily wear any of them. Maybe a chronograph might be worth adding. Keep up the great work. Love the channel.

[@PeterKotsa]

IWC is my go to Chrono 🔥

[@jigsaw7019]

I’ve fought really hard to resist “collecting”, and my daily worn Kinetic Seiko of 20+ years just gave up the ghost, so my research for a new watch has led me here. Love your content Peter, made even better as we’re both Aussies. As much as I like your favourite watch, I am trying to justify to myself that I “need” a pre owned Omega Planet Ocean for my next everyday watch. Keep up the great work mate.

[@PeterKotsa]

Cheers brother..life is too short, get that preowned Omega already 😋😂

[@jacc88888]

Great to see the collection. The Seiko SLA043 is my favourite too. Also love the green dial Grand Seiko.

[@tanvirrahman9504]

The Tuna is probably the one watch that grew on me more than any other watch in my collecton.

[@NATHANSFLETCHER]

Great collection Pete. Thanks for sharing. I have to agree with your favourite watch choice, very nice indeed.

[@martinkaplan1805]

Thanks Peter. Love seeing your personal collection.

[@PeterKotsa]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@felo6035]

Fantastic collection Pete, thank you for sharing. I think your daughter will love your Sinn 556i yellow dial ... awesome Dad 👍 As for its potential replacement, I know you mentioned the Breitling Navitimer and a Panerai, but let me pitch one of my grail watches, which I hope to own in the next couple of years: Zenith El Primero Chronomaster Sport, white dial withe the tri-colour sub-dials, ref #03.3100.3600./69.M3100. This is a 41mm case, powered by El Primero 3600 1/10th sec automatic chronograph beating at 36K VpH (5 Hz), with a power reserve of about 60 hours. I love this watch. Have a wonderful weekend my friend.

[@tacticaltruth8118]

Thanks for sharing your collection. The Tudor Black Bay on the Artem strap looks outstanding.

[@Rommel1988111]

great collection. very clearly a personal one and one which as you correctly mention reflects the personality and character of the collector

[@LectioDivina33]

I was waiting for this one, great video. I love the Greek heritage (Blue) shining through on your watches & jumper. Be well. Daniel Grech

Awesome collection from an awesome guy. I reckon your daughter will love that Sinn, I know I’d wear it. Thanks for sharing your collection with us Pete

[@PeterKotsa]

She saw the video last night and she said thanks dad, but I don’t think I can wear it as it won’t match with my wardrobe Go figure…

[@eddyc1738]

So blessed to have seen this collection

[@PeterKotsa]

Right back at you bro

[@peterboyce1422]

Fabulous collection. Each and every piece is so well curated. Similar to you, I have grown to appreciate a limited number of watches in my collection. Who would have thought that a watch-box would have such power. (I had wondered whether the Fortis had gone… my blue faced version has become a favourite of mine thanks to Artem and their 21mm straps. It is often the small things that give a watch charm - I am looking forward to the ‘orange’ 13th tomorrow.)

[@PeterKotsa]

Yeah I miss that Fortis..it went to a really nice guy here in Australia..a viewer..👍👍 Thanks Peter, enjoy the 13th tomorrow bro

[@simmysharma6845]

Good to see you. Enjoy those beautiful watches 👍

That Seiko at the end is the one... you can sell the rest :) Beautiful collection. Keep us entertained in 2024. Cheers.

Its a beauty thats for sure brother 😎

This is one of the Best colections i've seen só far. Diferent colors, stiles and sizes

[@AndrewIsbell]

I still love my first generation black dial Omega Aqua Terra which you can see at 0:16. I know you sold yours but it makes sense when you have 8 great watches. This watch is best when you only have 1 or a small number of great watches because it is so versatile.

[@jtpalooki7757]

8 is a perfect # for a rotation.. 9.7 score in my book.. perfect Seikos.. love the Portuguiser🇵🇹👍.. I’m fine with the BB58.. the Meistersinger is a perfect fun watch.. a vintage diver on leather would bring it to a 9.95🥸… again, eight is great # for a rotation which shouldn’t be confused with a collection! I really don’t care about anyone’s Casio they wore in high school 🫨! 👏👏👏👏

[@madness694]

Love it, the GS is a great addition!

[@stephenn6200]

Love your collection! Not a single watch in it that I wouldn't wear. Saving up for an Aquaterra right now.

[@aussie8114]

Very nice, though you need to get yourself a Quartz so actually know what the time is 😂 You obviously favour straps over bracelets. Straps are more comfortable but I think having an expensive watch on a bracelet sets it off, completes the package, looks the goods 😎

[@antonbayda2571]

Thanks for sharing Pete!

[@PeterKotsa]

[@martinharrison4245]

Really nice collection peter. Glad you still love the 62mas. Im surprised you dont like the bracelet on the bb58 , ive got the bb 41mm in steel and gold and think the bracelet is really comfy. Love the iwc and the aquaterra , and the germain one hander . Such a cool piece. My collection has gone up to about 10 just lately as ive added a couple of cheapies. I really fancied the tudor pro but felt its too thick for a 39mm watch , so i got a san martin cheapie to satisfy my craze. I also got a seesturn homage to a rolex explorer 2 steve mcqueen , as i really love the dial. Both wear incredible really and feel great for cheapies. A bit strange as ive got decent watches , but it proves it doesnt have to cost the earth to enjoy the watch. My favourite watch is probably my 043, but i also love my tudor aeronaut, because its just sublime to wear and looks so classy. I cant read the hands too well though and rely more on the gmt red hand , a bit like your German one hander , to roughly tell the time !!! Lol.

Great collection. Great watches.

[@javierjimenez786]

I absolutely love your Meistersinger Metris... particularly on the brown rally strap you showed. I am also fan of the Sinn 556, particularly the white, black and brown dials. Finally, I like the Tudor Blackbay 58 (not boring at all to me) and the Omega Aquaterra. Such a solid collection Peter. I'm amazed by your willpower to keep only 8 watches, specially when you receive watches by the dozen for review... Cheers mate!

[@PeterKotsa]

Its more difficult than it looks. I saw a watch yesterday and there was nothing stopping me from pulling the trigger...except the rule. 😊

[@jamiebarrett8095]

Peter, great collection. Love that you keep the collection to 8 watches. Also great. To see the man behind the videos. For your BB58, try a bracelet from Uncle Straps. He makes excellent bracelets.

[@PeterKotsa]

I have the Uncle Seiko bracelet for it…it’s pretty good, but still not happy

[@Milofchg]

Great SOTC 2023/2024!!! Well done sir. You can add one more while keeping 8 watches. Think of it this way... 8 watches in the box, the 9th watch always on wrist.

[@PeterKotsa]

You're a bad influence..get away from me 😂😂

[@siddhant46s54]

Loved the variety and uniqueness you have in your collection instead of the generic SOTC’s going around on youtube with the usual expected watches. Huge fan of your channel , the watch reviews and the amazing macro shots! I would love for you to make a video on the Seiko SLA057 ,an absolutely stunning watch and it’s my favourite release from seiko in a good few years , i just know you would make that watch look even more beautiful with your videography skills , please do consider my request, thanks!

[@stableianF1oracle]

In the last 4 weeks I’ve bought 4 watches. I got two Tissot PRX 80s. An ice blue for me and a dark blue for my amazing son. I also bought a Tissot MotoGP 2023 special edition as my life has been riding super bikes at stupid speeds and today I got a Meistersinger Primatik 365 limited to 100 pieces because it’s not normal and neither am I. 😂😂😂😂 You’re so right that our watches can say things about us. My previous 6 watches total less than £300 which show how poor I was 😂😂😂

[@watchchimp3102]

Nice! SLA043 still in the collection is surprising, but not surprising either. I got one last year and it quickly zoomed up to #2 spot in my collection (behind my Pelagos) and was my most worn watch of the year. I'd say it's a keeper for me! 😊

[@-Alpha-Omega]

I'm glad you can't get enough of the beautiful SLA043. I've just watched the Brave Beaters video on this beauty, which confirms that a lot of people haven't understood Seiko's approach with this watch. I'm still jealous of your Omega Aqua Terra ;-)

[@PeterKotsa]

The Omega and Seiko are two beautiful watches for me Satisfying..is the word that comes to mind 👌

[@AntonioRamirez-s9f]

I understand the concept of a vacation watch, but for me that entails the omission of a date. The presence of a date is what makes one more conscious of schedules and makes the watch feel less like a pick-up-and-go for the pleasure of it type watch (since you have the waste time setting the date). So I find it interesting that on the one hand you like the simplicity of a one hander, but the watch has a date.

[@PeterKotsa]

Valid point..I don't know if you noticed the watch has a cyclops on the sapphire to show up the date in a more magnified fashion I removed it on mine 😊 So the date being a small circle can hardly be seen

[@MrLoughneagh]

Absolutely fantastic video and presented flawlessly. All the best from Ireland 🇮🇪 🇮🇪

[@oxocube5000]

First of all this is a great video and a great collection. This is my first video I've seen of yours and you've earned a new subscriber.. I love the fact that you mentioned service costs. I work in the industry and I have to say, the service costs are only rising. Honestly I think it is something that not enough people consider. If the movement is in house, it's seeming more and more common for servicing to cost the best part of $1000 - and that's not including any replacement part costs. It's something I never considered before I worked in the industry but now it's made collecting a lot easier because it means I can rule something out if the service costs are too high lol

Hi Pete, great to see you this side of camera. While it is way too big for my wrist, your GS is definitely my favourite of the bunch, gorgeous colour.
