Sign that man up as a Watchbox ambassador. As he is a true poet, warrior, gentleman. And God bless him for his role in trying to curb gun violence.

[@scottwexlin6456]

This. Very much agree.

[@jbbittencourt]

Totally agree. Maybe the nicest guy on the show up to now. A true Miyamoto Musashi (warrior / appreciator of the beautiful things / poet / gentleman). 👏👏👏

[@carlosned2564]

Agreed

[@nickbandz009]

Hell ya best episode

[@tyarnold4088]

Gun violence doesn't hardly exist in small cities. My city is over 20000 and only 1 person shot and killed my whole life of 41 years. But it sounds like it's bad in the big cities. Be safe

[@saphna2095]

A collector that can wear whatever he wants with pride, because of who he is and the path he took to get there. And Tim, pure class as always, my respect for him grows the more facettes we get to see and hear from him.

[@rowrence]

This was probably the best interview Watchbox has ever done. Just great.

[@mphurious]

Rob is clearly a special human. This managed to go well beyond watch content while remaining rooted to the earth. The candor and humility were positively moving.

[@JonathanPieforPM]

agreed - a superb video

[@michaellambert230]

My word, this was a very powerful & poignant interview. What a hero

[@michaeltrujillo9092]

Watch companies should be honored that this man wears their watches and should be sending him the best they make free of charge. Love his collection and stories.

[@marciom1640]

Wow, what a fantastic interview! I was completely captivated from start to finish. The questions were thought-provoking, and the guest's answers were insightful and inspiring. Kudos to Tim for creating such an engaging conversation. I learned so much and came away feeling truly inspired. Can't wait for more content like this!

[@tonyzambrota9303]

A watch enthusiast to his core. Great love and attachment to his watches, and he has used them in ways most people only dream of. Thank you on behalf of all the watch world for your service as well!

[@TimMancuso-gr9gy]

Rob, your passion for watches shines through, and the deep and personal connection you have to them is truly amazing. I am proud that people like you represent the watch community. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do for our country. Next dinner is on me!

[@user-qp8jk5dj2e]

flippers

[@the1916companywatchreviews]

Well said, Tim! Best, Tim

[@AnselmClinard]

By far one of my favorite interviews Tim has done. A tool watch lover and collector who wears his tool watches. And a navy seal to boot. Many thanks for your service and sacrifice. And for sharing your collection. We have the exact same taste and a lot of the same watches, even down to the BB Pro which is next on the list! Such a relatable collection and passionate watch guy. National Geographic played a huge role in my love of tool watches as well! And I can totally relate to the calming impact of watching Tim’s review videos. Until you shared your habit of watching Tim’s review videos as a way to calm down or get out of a funk, I didn’t realize that I do the exact same thing. And I’m similarly fascinated by the artificial creation of time keeping and the watch represents that for me in a similar way. Really cool and validating video. Cheers, Guys!

[@the1916companywatchreviews]

Thank you for your kind words about Rob and for your support of my work here on WB. This video reflects the best of what we've done as a multimedia team and band of enthusiasts. Best, Tim

[@RobertTaylor-ub6hv]

Maybe my favorite collector video of all time. Totally relatable and inspirational all at the same time. Thank you to both gentlemen for sharing this. I have only one question. Which was worse, being in a gunfight or wearing a Grand Seiko bracelet for a while? 😉

[@juniorjohnson5961]

The watches are nice but I'm more impressed with Rob & his military career & service to our country & what he's doing now about mass shootings . Thank You Rob 🙏

[@the1916companywatchreviews]

I felt the same way. My goal always is to feature unique stories, but this one might be one-of-a-kind. Best, Tim

[@herbmerced7780]

This dude keeps gaining my respect….helping curb school shootings and helping vets…outstanding!

[@Chellfinancial]

I love the collector interviews. This is what everyone in the community wants to wake up to on Saturday morning.

[@gnurick]

This is one of the best pieces of watch content I’ve ever seen. And that’s saying a lot. Kudos to the both of you. Thank you.

[@DealerIgnition]

Love Rob’s story about how your videos anchor him in times of pain. Bravo to you for making something special that helps others:) ❤

[@drax4901]

Rob is so well spoken! Thank you for your service and what a beautiful collection!!

[@dukes70]

Great video Tim! I seldom sit through a 40min video but the exchange back and forth and Rob’s personal stories (inspiring and tragic as life can be) we’re captivating! Love to see the connection he had and with certain pieces and his military journey and the knowledge and passion as a collector! Need more of these!! 👏👏

[@davidb5720]

The stories behind these watches are fascinating and why I love watches. Such a brilliant episode. Congrats for being able to bring this together. Such an interesting guy who’s lived a life we will never know truly how it feels. Proper hero 👍

[@natedogg9338]

Parkland resident here. My daughter was on the middle school campus that’s shared with Stoneman Douglas High on 2/14/18. I didn’t expect the first time I’d see her on TV was running across the street with my wife away from the school that horrible, horrible afternoon. Thank you for your service Rob, both in uniform and now with Zeroeyes.

[@maxstarkie7126]

One of the best episodes yet…thanks Tim and team. Rob’s story and passion for watches are equally compelling.

[@matthewhelm3035]

Pure class and iconic style. Simply, knowing and buying what you like! Enjoyed hearing Rob’s sincere passion and connection to each of his timepieces. Tim, your interviewing chops have no equal. Always look forward to your Collector series. Thank you both. 🍻

[@milesrickman9270]

Thank you for your service,sir. Also,thank you for sharing your collection with us,the viewer. Tim is definitely impressive with his knowledge of Horology. This was a fantastic episode,and I can’t thank you both enough for everything that each of you have given everyone.

[@cnaarndt]

Rob and Tim, an awesome interview. 👍 As with most warriors, I feel a connection with Rob that goes beyond just military [Naval] service and watches. Like myself, National Geographic played a big part in our appreciation for Rolex, albeit 30 years apart. Loved the references Japanese culture, Miyamoto Musashi [Book the Five Rings]. Star Wars as Japan's iconic actor Toshiro Mifune [The Seven Samurai-Kurosawa] was Lucas's first choice to play Obi-Wan Kenobi. As a young Marine Huey pilot in the 80s, I too loved Magnum PI, and wore my GMT Pepsi while I watched. 😎

[@joshn.5625]

Great video as always, and great storytelling. I love the way he integrated his love for watches into his journey as a SEAL. I’d love love videos like this - less about what collectors own and more about *why* they own.

[@darellhunter2205]

Thank you too this gentleman for his service and thank you for sharing this Tim.

[@D6EH]

This was great, thanks for sharing with us. I can absolutely relate to Rob’s enjoyment of Tim’s videos. Whenever I’m considering something new, I turn to those videos to learn about the watch and determine if it’ll work for me.

[@mikkihoo7556]

This is by far my favourite ''collector conversation'' about watches. Not only by Watchbox Studios, but on KZbin's watch content as a whole. Just awesome collection and the storys behind them. Not just another collector who has all the hot watches, and we all know what I mean by that. Thanks guys.

[@irawolf]

This is the most meaningful, if not the only meaningful, collector’s interview I have seen anywhere! The personal connections to the watches are outstanding. This type of interview tends to leave me thinking negatively that the collector has too much money and time on their hands. Huberty, however, has earned every piece! I also agree that watches are a happy place in any circumstance and Tim Mosso videos always leave you smiling.

[@zr7083]

Wonderful interview, I think the watches obviously became secondary to the life experiences this gentleman has shared. A deep sadness many of couldn’t bare to imagine that you have gone through. You are here today thankfully,doing something so commendable, highest respects .. and such lovely watches 😊👏

[@ethos2781]

What a Superb Segment... I truly enjoyed it! Tim you are a wonderful host. In that you allow guests to express their expriences without interruption... Mr. Huberty thank you for sharing your Amazing Collection and some wonderful memories. Without a doubt your service to this country is quite Inspirational. Thank you... Cheers!

[@ProjectSerpo90]

A warrior, patriot and a man of impeccable taste. Literally every one of my grails is in his collection. I dont think i’ve ever seen a more perfect watch collection that speaks to me. Thanks for your service Rob and for keeping our kids safe. Very jealous of your watches.

[@emexokezie7796]

What a candid, unpretentious heart warming genuine discussion which truly casts shadows on his childhood dreams and wrist aspirations, kinda reminds me of my own as a child, flicking through NEEWSWEEK / TIME magazines scanning for those 70s Rolex ADs.....very concise discussion, probably the best I have listened to!

[@loevhagen6984]

One of the very best watch collecting videos I've seen for quite a while. Thanks. Enjoyed the 40 min. :)

[@LobsterRavioli]

This was an amazing interview! The story behind the watches are amazing, and I have to give props to the interviewer, he did an amazing job on asking questions and not interrupting the answer.

[@AdamSmi1th]

One of the better watchbox collector conversations of all time. So great!

[@johnnychen235]

Big fan of the channel and I have thoroughly enjoy this episode; what he’s shared has really made me appreciate some of these watches and the stories, thank you so much for sharing. And I agree, repetition does work Tim. I also watch your channel to relax 👍

[@NvrFinal]

Best interview by far. Felt so genuine and humble. Gotta love Seals.

[@martinkaplan1805]

A terrific show, Tim! Thanks so much for sharing your story and your collection, Rob. Wonderful.

[@yoof01]

Such a nice guy, and as a British military veteran, it’s great to meet one of our US counterparts and see his awesome watch collection too. My first visit to the channel, and loved it. Good luck to you Rob 👍🏼

[@nedflanders3769]

I think I just found my new personal hero, on multiple levels. Firstly, thank you for your service! A freaking Navy SEAL and watch enthusiast and general badass. Cool company too, first I’d heard of zeroeyes. You deserve all those nice watches, you’ve definitely earned them!

[@psyphi407]

I know the feeling I get when I make the cut for viewer wrist shots so I can imagine his excitement for being on a full episode of Collector Conversation. Truly happy for you my man! And much respect for trying to do something about gun violence in this country.

[@mdo5121]

Well spoken man...with a love and passion...quite a journey he took us on

[@whodeycinbengals]

I agree with the sailor in regards to Tims videos. Tim, you have been my favorite watch reviewer for a while now, so it’s cool to see others appreciate your videos as much as I do. Really love these “talking watches” videos, as well. Keep up the good work!

[@JBFire97]

A wonderful interview, with integrity and true passion. Thank you from the UK.

[@pavanbharteey7269]

Great interview as always…and thanking you BOTH for your service 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸!

[@chup12682]

Rob Huberty is such a likeable person. He was as humble, honest and generous with his kindness as he is relatable (child of the 80’s lol). This episode was a joy to watch. I wish for Mr. Huberty’s success in a safer world in part from his work and many more dream watches.

[@TheColnago]

My favorite watch episode in a long time. This was remarkable. Subscribed.

[@BeansAndBezels]

Fantastic video, and perhaps one of the best so far. Thanks for this!

[@johnjuarez8005]

True great segment WatchBox Studios kudos!

[@Dakshmarwah]

Tim doing what he does best. Its such a joy seeing his videos.

[@kahuhipajae4088]

My new favorite T. Mosso Collector convention. Bravo to Tim and Rob.

[@tblindsey]

Mr. Huberty, thank you for all you give and gave!

[@MichaelRCocks]

A very entertaining episode. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to Rob describing his watch collecting journey. Fantastic watch collection and also, a fine gentleman.

[@michaelkalb2896]

Rob, thanks for protecting our country and sharing your watch collecting journey and the role serving for our country has played! And your personal experiences with your Rolex is a testimony to the strength Rolex continues to play in the market today. At the same time, Omega, Tudor, Grand Seiko, etc. what a great collection! And if you find you need assistance helping your business develop into its full potential, do not hesitate to reach out.

[@nicholasborghi9715]

Rob Huberty is an American hero. Hats off to this man.

[@andrewmonahan9510]

ROB - What a great (humble) guy, great listen. Cheers man and keep doing what you're doing.

[@brianrdetweiler]

He's nailed it. Tim Mosso is comfort watching for watch nerds. This was a great interview. Such a thoughtful collection.

[@genesultry6447]

Retired Military...Inspiring to watch and learn some military history to boot. Tim is brilliant and Rob is an amazing young, Gent. Fitting to watch on Veterans Day (Observed) Thanks to all the Vets out there and may God Bless and keep you all.

[@med-3000]

Incredibly strong man for opening up about his experiences and tragedies. Watches unite!

[@ChrisJBrown72]

This guy! First of all I am retired Army, I served as a door gunner in Afghanistan in 10/11 and infact Extortion had just replaced us, so I’m on the same page as to the impact that had. His “hero worship” inspired watch collection, what he gets from looking at the watches, the happiness he gets from these videos… man it was like listening to myself explain what I get outa watches! Lastly his company Zeroeyes, as a retired Ops, TOC NCO, as well as a Network administrator… annnd as someone who hates this spread of school gun violence, his company… what a obvious and genius tool in helping mitigate this issue, brilliant! Great collection, awesome guy, excellent interview.

[@mjmboogie]

This was such a pleasure to view.. great conversations.

[@aminreviews2311]

Phenomenal collector conversation and a wonderful way to honor our veterans and military this weekend 🙏. Such a great company mission as well. We surely do need proactive solutions.

[@angryarchitect6723]

Impressed with guys mission of his company. And oh, by the way impressed with the stories of his watches.

[@christopherjohnson4276]

Wow thanks for this. I can relate so much. I've been pretty chilled out as opposed to the first 3 or so years in the hobby. Now, I can really consider what would make me happy and less impulsivity. Thanks, great video

[@Yiha94]

Wow I really enjoyed watching this video. Great collection! Thank you!

[@Screenwriting]

One of the very best collection videos I've ever seen. Bravo!

[@GU5S]

Great episode with a fantastic guest. Loved how worn his collection was too 👏

[@jaronleslie9190]

Absolutely fantastic video!! More of this please... real people with real stories, memories and watches.

[@crushedagave420]

Awesome video Tim!! Thoroughly enjoyed listening to you and Rob. He has a nice collection there.

[@yurfriendmikey]

Some great conversation and very nice watch collection! From one veteran to another, thank you for your service Rob

[@alessandrokonL24]

This has to be the best collector video I've ever seen. Thank you so much for this video and God bless this man.

[@SagorHq]

An Awesome collection and even better stories to go along with it.👏 Great guy and his passion shows throughout.

[@brendDun]

This was the best episode of this series you've ever done, thanks to the guest.

[@pintailpoint8634]

Seems like such a genuine guy and American hero. Really enjoyed this interview and his collecting journey.

[@stevenmoore4078]

Love this. Not a watch snob who collects watches just because "this watch is one of xxx." Just a regular guy, who like many of us, aspired to the watches of his heroes, saved for them, and earned them. A hero indeed.

[@tkdrob1111975]

Awesome Tim! Love that our hero’s get to enjoy the passion and that it helps then

[@JPOL623]

Probably the best collector conversation… love everything about this.

[@thomasoliverpryce4914]

Massively enjoyed that, thank you both (and camera person!)

[@johnacteson5503]

What a nice, genuine guy and what a cool collection. My favourite collector video so far. Keep up the good work.

[@arkachatterjee5179]

I'm not always a fan of collector conversations but this is one that I truly enjoyed. My enjoyment had nothing to do with the watches on display, but the collector! Thanks to Rob for your service, and also for the important work you're now doing to curb gun violence. Talk about swords to plowshares!

[@180mph9]

Really enjoyed this episode, thank you Rob for sharing your passions with us and thank you for your service 🇺🇸

[@Levi_1911]

Great video. Awesome watches with great stories. I also really like about how you talked about watches helping when you are down. I can relate to that and thank you for your videos.

[@jeffryrosen3438]

Great episode. Thank you for your service, gentlemen 🫡

[@fossilimprint2954]

Excellent interview, thank you. Subscribed !

[@raghavmalhotra9134]

One of the best watch collector videos ❤. Very relatable - I feel these type of videos should be done on a spectrum, affordable to the luxury to the independents 😅

[@AmitBhandari82]

Tim - this episode was *amazing*. More of these please!

[@jonathansmith283]

Thank you so much for your service!

[@darth_jarjar123]

Wow, what a video! Soothing, unpretentious and relatable. I really don't know what else to say. The absolute best KZbin video I've seen in a long time. If possible could you do something similar with a firefighter/paramedic? Thank you, stay safe.

[@notsimplybrent]

incredible episode. And perfect timing for Memorial Day Weekend!

[@leow9150]

Great interview. Great stories. Totally enjoyed it. Thank you
