I am actually starting my watch collection off with a longines, spirit zulu time with true gmt. It makes me very happy to see that the brand is in that range after a lot of pondering.

That Longines may also be the watch you wear while you spend your money on travel instead of a watch "hoard". The Zulu time GMT is a good travel watch. Add a Casio G-Shock to wear while rafting, parachute jumping or skin diving and you're all set. If I could start again I would buy a couple great pieces, a G-Shock beater, and leave it at that.

I've been thinking about this topic myself lately; how would I do things differently if I knew then (when I started watch collecting), what I know now. The main for me is: a couple watches is fine, don't buy too many watches too quickly -- buy a solid daily you can dress up, and buy something you can beat around in the field. After a while, save money to upgrade the daily to a luxury watch if desired. This time between purchases will give you space to figure out your taste/ preferences, and even whether upgrading is what you want (maybe the connection / memories with your first daily isn't something you want to replace just yet). That in mind, it is nice to have a grail to aspire to. But that's where I am at in my watch collecting journey. (not saying that I regret any of the purchases I've made over the years, but that I have found contentment with just a couple of watches).

Many people collect things. My father collects stamps, coins, and fine luxury pens. My mother…orchids, jewelry, purses, shoes, etc. My friend collects guitars. Another friend collects motorcycles. Jerry Seinfeld collects Porsches. Jay Leno…all sorts of automobiles. So there’s nothing “crazy” about collecting watches. 35 years ago, I used to collect Seiko Mickey Mouse watches which started my love of watches. Now I collect other things. It just so happens that watch collecting is an expensive hobby. I bet the majority of us watching your videos are watch collectors too. You’re fine.

If I were to start over, the first watch I'd add to my (now empty) collection would be the Tudor BB58 GMT. It's on the high end of the mid-priced watch category, but it is so much watch for the money. At the current market prices, I would probably skip Rolex this time around,. While the Oyster Perpetual is a great watch it isn't worth the wait time or after market price. Longine, Tudor, Oris... there's a list of great options for that same style watch at less than half the Rolex cost.

Also it shows me that my GADAs need a LOT of "Tool" watch qualities, so that's an interesting thing to know about myself. As always, a lot of good advice and now I have much to consider.

I started wearing watches in the 7th grade so I would start with a g shock 5600 and later get the 5610u with all the functions and solar. I think every collection needs a g shock, there's no watch that is tougher and if you do anything remotely sweaty, dirty, or with risk of impact or scratches, the g shock can handle it. Then once i graduated high school I'd try for some kind of GADA watch with a white dial. Then I'd go for a nice microbrand sapphire and ceramic bezel diver after graduating college.

I love this list, and it’s a great thought process to build a theoretical collection. I would however make one change. I would exempt the g shock from the tool watch category, and instead pick one of the other choices. I would then buy a gshock in addition to the three watches selected. So we would end up with a 4 watch collection. One from each three categories, plus a gshock…..I say this because for me, on a day to day basis I don’t wear my gshock for that long. I use it for purpose, working out, construction, beach with heavy sunscreen, etc. Outside of that I would rather wear a non digital tool watch. But that’s just me

Start with something that will 1. Wear well with a decent chunk of your wardrobe 2.

This year I took this advice and downgrade my collection to only 3 "vintage" watches, something in the same way you recommended in this video. And I ended up with something I really like and enjoy to dress up or down regardless of occasion. I expect this will slow down my spending and help me look for other options in the future, my collection for 2025 and onwards is: Daily: G-Shock GAB-2100-1A. Tool: Omega Seamaster 300m 36mm ref. 2551.80 (I have a tiny wrist lol). Dressy: Omega Constellation 1959 ref. 14393 Happy Holidays!

What an inspired topic! Also me thinks we're of the same mindset. I capped my budget for these mechanical wonders at $3500us. And... I've been enjoying swimming in the microbrand pool for the last3 years. $3500 came from my last big purchase. My Longines Spirit 42 Blue sunray dial and the date at the 3 o'clock, chopping the "3" indices... ...which i love btw. Premiere package! Fun stuff. It grail for my budget. And i never thought I'd own a chronometer rated timepiece. For me, it was a very extravagant purchase and I will never sell my Longines. So that's my budget. And of course you can buy a lotte micro brand watches that are awesome, like jodie's origin and my m d design from ireland which is also a regulator watch. And...... i think I would really enjoy owning and wearing a Cartier Santos, de Cartier !!!!! Pre-owned $5500 us. And I think it's a real beauty, and I would wear the carp out of it. ...what's a job to do ??? Time start putting a little extra i n the "ole cookie jar". Love your show. Be well. Carl

I always wonder what these watch collectors do for a living. These people casually drop gems like “this Omega is a must-have, it’s so cute!” Man, I wonder how a Brit on a monthly wage of £4,000 (which is actually a good salary for an engineer in the UK, for instance) can walk into a store and buy an Omega or a Rolex that’s worth 1/5 of their annual net income. As for me, I have a Tissot PR50 (34mm) that I bought in 2004 and it still works today, and that’s it. The rest of my money I spent on diapers, schooling, and a car.

Oh gosh - I totally hear you! SO! There are several different answers for this - and everyone's answers are different and unique to them. Answer 1. There are many more income streams than just ones monthly income. (Investments, family money, etc.). Also related to this: what are people's outgoings? Maybe they early £4K/month, but inherited their house from their family, or own their home. So, buying an expensive watch isn't the same financial burden. 2. A lot of people sell watches to buy other watches. So, to buy that £4,000 OMEGA, perhaps that person sold a few Seiko's or other things in the collection, on top of some savings. Maybe they made £2,000 from selling watches and saved £2,000. 3. For people who see this as a hobby, many people save for years to buy a certain piece. For example, I recently bought something for around £15,000. But I saved FOR YEARS FOR IT because it was something I really wanted and it meant a lot to me. There are many different avenues that afford people watches, and I, personally am slow to judge. We don't understand people financial worlds - and honestly - it's none of our business. ;) I buy what I love, when I can afford it! And that mostly what others are doing too.

(And since this comment is UK specific - maaaan, it is tough to wrap my head around how stagnant wages are vs. the cost of living. A SQEP engineer should take home WAY more than £4K/mo. with the current cost of living in most of the country. BUT I DIGRESS!)

Often you still have to pay duties and taxes, even for a temporary import. And there is a lot of paperwork involved. Watches like Rolex are horrible for travel!

Don't get me wrong, I like watches, but I can't afford them except the cheapest ones. My dream not-so-poor's man collection of three watches would be 1. Junghans max bill 27/3500.02, 2. Longines Conquest 38mm (the new one, silver dial) and 3. Seiko Prospex SPB187. These would be respectively a dress watch, an all-purpose everyday watch and a dive watch, and would only cost me 2 months of net income.

There is a real temptation to make the halo piece the dress watch, but with less people working in offices these days, you may not get value from it and you can get great looking dressy pieces for little money. And if you are thinking about a piece to hand to your kids, do they want a watch that you hardly ever wore? I didn’t do this, but if I were to impart my little knowledge and experience, I’d say focus on a good daily. Something you can learn to strap hack to dress up and down. Something you aren’t worried to wear. And then see where the ride takes you. And ignore all the pressure to “upgrade”. Look for something interesting, not something praised that everyone buys.

Here is the problem with dress watches for me: I spend a lot of time in Viet Nam. The humidity makes quick work of leather straps. Steel sports just has an easier time surviving sudden rainstorms, and brutal humidity. The climate you live in matters a lot on this topic.

My daily would always be a diver just because they can take knocks better than most dress or all-steel watches, or at least wear it better. Feels safer when watching Blue Planet too :)

If I only had 1 premium watch it would be for me the Omega Seamaster 300 White Dial. Forget Rolex . Other watches in my collection would be some quality micro brands that were quirky and original . From Farer or An ordain . You don’t have to spend thousands to have something limited or unique on your wrist that you get joy from wearing and owning

Rolex Submariner, Rolex GMT or Explorer II + G Shock would be the perfect combo. After this stop and save/spend your $ on other things. Collecting luxury timepieces is an expensive addiction. Note: Rolex may seem generic online, but in the real world you will rarely ever see one. Buying a good condition used model rarely loses money. Buy once cry once. It truely can be a one and done heirloom timepiece.

Would rather have my five favorite watches for $5000 then ever spend $5000 on one watch. This is the insanity of most watch channels. They think that’s normal. In 1960 a Rolex was $1500 in todays money. Yet people now believe $10k is the new normal. These people are not well. Buy a cool car a wardrobe or a mini home for that. Stop taking so many boosters. And for you men become a man. Not a woman who wants a Hermes or Prada handbag for 10k

Britt-I suppose one reason you are gravitating toward dress watches is they tend to be smaller and thinner than sport watches, so your wearing experience is more comfortable-blame it on those dainty gringa wrists!! I think the OP, pink Nomos, Tudor BB54 and Cartier look best on you. And…your Daytona and Speedy are iconic. Great channel and Happy Christmas!
