Is there a video where he states why he hates hublot so much? Im new to this channel

[@starringharsh]

I would have a more mainstream approach: 1) Tudor BB58- $3400 2) Omega Speedmaster Professional Used- $3700 3) Casio Oak- $99 4) Seiko Alpinist- $750 5) Cartier Tank Quartz Used- $2000 That’s 2 automatics, 2 quartz and 1 mechanical Also that’s: 1 dress watch, 1 chrono, 1 diver, 1 god tier and 1 everyday watch….

This is one hell of a collection

[@diegoleiva7242]

Your list is great, but I'd say Nico's is a bit more eclectic and odd and I kind of prefer it.

[@reecelieber5709]

Great list, personally I’m going with 1. Tudor Pepsi gmt on nato strap (gmt, $3675) 2. Hamilton khaki field (beater/everyday, $575) 3. Longines heritage classic with a silver dial (dress, $2425) 4. Oris aquis New York harbor green (diver, $1850) 5. Junghans max bill chronoscope with blue dial (chronograph, $1413) And with my $152 remaining I will be purchasing seven Casio databank calculator watches.

[@Eikenhorst]

I do love this list. You can get a G shock for 150 if that is your thing. With the Tudor I just feel that every watchmaker that has produced a dive watch has released that something that looks exactly like that (no GMT though), so it is not for me. The Junghans is a great dress watch as well. For a real unique chrono I would go for the 1972 Competition, and save 1000 on the Tudor and take the Sinn 857 UTC for the GMT watch.

[@ultimatedouchebag6760]

With 10k, 1st watch you don't is a rolex.

[@xxMagicMike]

This is a really good list . I would switch the Hamilton for a seiko alpinist but the Hamilton is probably the better pick

This is a really nice collection. I personally would have swapped out the Tag for a micro-brand piece like a Formex or a Christopher Ward to add some extra flavor to the collection. Still a good pick though! Well done Nico.

I think gs has more soul than any other watch

[@J.N88]

Scrolling the comments and no one defending Grand Seiko?? calling them soulless is crazy, very few brands put as much care into building watches as they do, maybe directionless is fair but soulless is a horrendous take. (IMO, and I know this is yours)

[@fiend7777]

After everyone saw that Nico owns a GS they realized that he respects the craftsmanship but hates the GS keyboard warriors and the way the company manages their product, which is fair. So he has to go back to trolling Grand Seiko.

[@RhetoricWolf]

Yeah, calling it soulless was just a terribly unsubstantiated claim. In fact, they have an identity and soul. I think they put that into each product they develop.

[@hiteshgujarathi4636]

​@@fiend7777 But fans doesn't take anything away from GS. The fact that they are doing really great stuff with in house movment is must be appreciated regardless of fan base.

[@garethboyd8580]

It’s hard to defend. Well engineered? - check! Well priced? - check! Aesthetically current? - check! Soulful? Hmmmmmm… Hard for them to ever shake off the Lexus approximation. At least Toyota weren’t ridiculous enough to call Lexus “Grand Toyota”.

[@damienflor6115]

I currently work at Frédérique Constant, and we even had a chance to chat on the stand at Watches and Wonders. I wear the Worldtimer every day, and it's a pleasure to see that you've selected this watch for this collection! 🗺
