Watch this if you HOARD watches (also if you don't) | Q&A #11

[@riccardoguareschi7115]

I ALWAYS use my dive bezel. When I cook, when I park the car, to time my breaks at work etc. To me, it is the most useful kind of watch

[@wirecardceo]

I love my 116610LN, when cooking its sooo useful!

[@dredgewalker]

I use my seiko bellmatic watch to time my cooking and other things. It's feels more natural to use than my phone since the alarm is on my wrists.

[@BrittPearceWatches]

I love Jenni Q & A’s!!! 😍😍✨✨

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

Jenni, I love your watch reviews, it’s always great to see this hobby from a women’s perspective. Keep up the great work and stay awesome! Much love from Canada 🇨🇦

[@barryerskine3053]

A great alternative to Datejust, and technically superior at that, would be the Omega Constellation Globemaster. The fluted bezel is Tungsten, which is as blingy as gold and much tougher.

[@65mree]

Jenni, I own a Tudor Prince Date Day 36mm w/fluted bezel. It has been in production for years. It is made exactly like a vintage Datejust with stamped clasp and hollow end links and sells for as much as a Tudor Royal. It's sold mostly to the Asian market but is widely available on Chrono24.

[@claytonberg721]

I had a vintage tudor prince, it's one of the few watches I regret flipping. The vintage ones were made with rolex oyster cases. The market is infested with frankenwatches tho...

[@RonInNapa]

[@Heywoodthepeckerwood]

[@jimmyc8052]

I know there's many vintage cushion case Omega Constellations with fluted bezels, and even the modern Globemaster has a fluted bezel which could serve as Datejust alternatives. Though the Globemaster prices aren't too far of Datejusts unfortunately

[@jcb0920]

Dang you beat me to it. Absolutely recommend the Omega. While Jimmy's correct that there may not be a huge retail price difference between the two, you could likely purchase the Constellation today if you wanted to.

[@christopherliang6879]

Yep. This is the way

[@JohnWilson-tn3ez]

The Globemaster Constellation is higher technical spec than the Datejust. The dial is more beautiful too, due to the unmistakeable pie pan design. Jenni, check one out!

[@jacke9110]

Absolutely love the Globemaster. It definitely came to my mind as the best Datejust alternative.

[@walnutsandbeastiality866]

I'll never be guilty of hoarding watches, since I can barely even afford one (saving up for either an Omega SMP 300M, or a Pelagos as an everyday "one watch collection")

[@peterhall728]

I have the Pelagos in Black and its fantastic. Looks the bollocks and wears so well. 👍

[@walnutsandbeastiality866]

​@@peterhall728 I'm only hesitating to pull the trigger on a 25600TN (probably the same ref as yours, if yours is not the LHD) because of the QC issues of the lumed bezel insert Wonder if they fixed it, or honor the warranty if anything goes wrong (I'd rather buy the watch at a Tudor AD for a bit more than buying it at gray market just because of this)

I realized that collecting/hoarding anything is a mental problem. No one needs 10 watches, much less 50, 100, 250 watches. Yet there are people that do this. I sold off everything I owned regarding my watch collection. I had about 17 watches. Now I have three. A G-Shock, mid range Seiko mechanical, and a grand Seiko quartz. I am done with the collecting mentality.

I was a two-watch guy until I started watching watch channels. Now I am at 15 and i dont know when i am going stop. I wear my smart watch 99 percent of the time so my wife said I should sell all of them and donate the cash to various charities. Wearing luxury watches is the norm in Singapore but I see more and more people switching to smart watch these days. BTW, you can wear your Richard Mille in the middle of the night and you are perfectly safe in Singapore.

[@kokliangchew3609]

I'm glad that smaller dial watches are coming back into fashion. I always thought that larger dial watches were just too big, and I have a 7.5 in wrist which allows me to wear them easily. I just think that large dial watches are akin to the bell-bottom pants and high-heel platform shoes for men in the 1970s. Fashionable at the time but laughable later. I've two analogue dial G-shock watches from the 1990s, and they look quite elegant compared to the later G-shock watches with their larger dials.

[@friedpork_owl]

Thank you. Sinn is a brand that I have loved for years but I don't think I have heard you speak about them. I'm curious your thoughts on Sinn and Archimedes ;p Cheers!

I second that! And if the answer is something like "they are too toolish for me" please consider the "Finanzplatzuhr" series Sinn offers! They have some really awesome dressy pieces like the 6068 which is now also available in a stunning blue! It's really worth to take a closer look at the brand.

I couldn't do 2-3. 5-6 maybe. I get that you could have all situations covered with 2-3, but it leaves out too much of what makes up loving watches for me; unique cool pieces, sentimental ones if you're lucky enough to have any, etc.

I have a Black 2010 Porsche Boxster and it’s definitely worth it and not as expensive as you’d think! I have a 987.2 and you showed a 981 Cayman, but that’s an extremely fun car, you can pack quite a bit in it and will really give you bang for your buck. Will also net you a great interior and backdrop for some amazing wrist and watch shots! On that comment I don’t think one equals the other but the people who appreciate either watches/cars/planes have a certain eye for details and depending on the side of those worlds you’re interested in, then time/watches are integral parts of them. Pilots watches, F1 sponsors, lap times, watches built into cars, they’re closely related to each other as watches were initially tools, but I don’t think this counts for everyone

[@underachievingwatchcollect1878]

Omega Globemaster is a great Datejust alternative 😎!

[@zuke-ci4vd]

On the topic of hoarding, my boss at work was able to buy 10 Rolexes last year during the pandemic. His father has a large watch collection, so the AD's know them very well. He was told recently by his AD that Rolex has told their AD's not to sell more then three watches a year to any one customer. Have you heard anything about this?

Nice video. Totally agreed on all points. I mostly wear tool watches, not much sports watches but more everyday watches and under the radar. So that makes it hard for me put on a shiny piece with jewels or precious metals.

I hope you decide to wear your wedding watch more often. While I agree with your assessment of its sparkle and flash, I always enjoy seeing other people’s flash and sparkle. And given its history, the sparkle is even more appropriate - especially the diamonds. I would never be able to afford that watch but I would love to see others enjoying such a watch. Sparkle and shine!

[@judasslip]

Hi Jenni, love your channel. Very informative and interesting views. I was in the market recently for a luxury sports watch and was looking along the lines of the Overseas, Odysseus, Mariner, and Datejust and ended up getting a Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT. I've only learned about this brand quite recently (and although far from old, the brand's history appealed to me) and this particular model just ticked all the boxes for me in terms of aesthetics and functionality. The integrated bracelet is also so beautiful and so comfortable to wear that I knew I just had to get it the moment it tried it on. These come with fluted bezels.

Simply changing a fluted bezel to a smooth one on your date just might do the job, it really tones down a look. You might be inclined to wear it more often... Or switching the bracelet to an oyster one? Great content!

LOL "double wristing", I didn't even know there is a word for that. I always remember Nicolas Hayek with his six or even more watches. 16:30 Oooh!

Follow up question related to watch purchasing choices.

In the day you could get them for $300...

7:25 In my very limited experience, the idea that Omega is more readily available than Rolex certainly rings true. Local Omega AD literally showered me (well, not quite literally) with Seamaster 300/300Ms, multiple Aqua Terras, a Moon Watch and threw in a Breitling Superocean Heritage, a GS Snowflake and a GS SBGA229 (Spring Drive diver) in for good measure. All of which I got to try out and could've taken home with me that very same day ... and that was my first ever visit to said AD. OTOH I visited multiple Rolex ADs and always got the same story when inquiring about SS sports models - even at those ADs that actually happened to have the odd Explorer or Seadweller in the window. Out of all the ADs that I check out regularly, I've yet to find one that has a non precious metal/two-tone Submariner, GMT Master or Daytona sitting in the window. And also, more crucially, one that would actually sell me any of the stuff they do have in the window ... if that stuff is even real and not some sort of movementless dummy-watch. Can't recall ever seeing a "for exhibition purposes only"-sign in the window of an Omega AD.

I have a Tudor P01 which is by all intent and purposes a tool watch, I covered the large extended lug pieces with VPS (see though plastic used on vehicles) to protect it from scratches. I hate scratches even though some might say it adds character. Works well must say. Brings me to my question: In many, many years time; would you prefer your watch with dings and scratches and knowing the story of each or a perfect watch as new? Is it more valuable to you to build character or keep it as new?
