I was meant to get this video up in December 2023, however I have been extremely busy with work commitments, so here we are in January 2024... This is my state of the watch collection for the end of 2023 Thanks for watching..

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!

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.)

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.

@drdesign68865 ай бұрын
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.

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.
