This episode was humble, innocent and makes you appreciate the journey of other people's collections, it's not about spending the world it's about taste and personal journey :) Great episode !! I love the fact you were giving collections with casio F91W's and Seiko's such high scores :) love you guys!

[@adamjodell]

This episode was awesome! It's so great to see collection videos made by people who really understand the hobby better than anyone else. Honestly, this has got to be my absolute favorite episode so far! Please keep making more of these - they're amazing!

[@wongfeihung9724]

Absolutely agree 100%

[@yojimbo21]

Can you imagine if they did George’s? It’d be the longest episode ever.

[@edwardmcardle]

A series dedicated to George’s watches 😂

[@MrJeremy9835]

@@edwardmcardle❤❤❤George is such a nice guy and he is so funny for a British

[@michaelcollins3132]

There’d be some great watches there buried under the thousands of DLC coated neon accented shitters

[@TheNeybor]

Literally the highest quality watch talk show on KZbin. This evokes feelings of OG Top Gear for me. Keep it up guys.

[@990v6]

they broke up

[@TheNeybor]

@@990v6 Seriously? When did they announce this?

[@joshuatvernon]

The jazz trumpeter collection was missing the Oris James Morrison Limited Edition. James Morrison is one of Australia’s most famous jazz trumpeters and the watch has a tuning fork hand. It’s really beautiful actually

[@1412alucard]

the piece at 17:32 is a humism, i have one too with yellow dial and looks really cool. The're tag line is turning time into art

[@mathewgruenholz]

Love this. One of my favorite episodes. Absolutely love seeing other people’s collections and wondering about their story and watch journey. I’ll have to submit my collection next time!

[@Chronocam1]

Totally agreee!!

[@austinreiter2594]

The concept of this episode is so much fun. I love when you guys guess on the collector's personality and the intricacies of their decisions and life experiences through just a photo of the watches. It would be super cool to do something like this again and interview everyday folks and talk to them about their collections and why they bought what they bought. KZbin is filled with interviews of rich celebrities and their watches. I want to see a show on everyday watch collectors!

[@RegginaldRiglet]

This is so fun. Love to see more rank our watches episodes. Great work guys

[@larrykelley3651]

This was a fun episode and I really hope they do this on a regular basis! I’d Kill to have them look at my collection! Well done Fellas!!!

[@davidbrandon-cox4204]

Hey About Effing Time, I have an idea for your next video of rating collections (I enjoy your content immensely btw. Big big Fan!!): How about you do an even more “academic” (sorry for pretentiousness..) rating on the viewers collections. That would make us WatchNerds geek out, and you get to really show off your WatchMojo;) I’m thinking in terms of formulating a framework for judging a collection. You can be pioneers in doing this on KZbin! These are just some suggestions for criteria: 1.Personality: lack of dogmatic choices. Not purposely opting to please the narrative of which watches to own. For example, instead of having a Daytona and a speedy, the person has two Daytonas. Just because he really likes Daytonas. Perhaps that would be an indicator of his personality shining through. 2.Originality: in terms of straps, dials, brands etc, How generic/original is his mix of choices? 3.Tradition: is he keeping his choices in line with the classics? How well is he doing that? 4.Balance: is there a balance regarding spread of timepieces? 5.Judges own taste: here you can leave your own personal preference on the collection. Then you’ll do the math and each judge will get an aggregate score for each collection. I know that some of these criteria contradict each other in a way. But I think that’s okay. It just enables for more equality regarding the opportunities for different types of collections to gather points. Love ya!!

[@Crispyrendang64]

The watch at the bottom left hand corner at 19:00 is actually from Humism, a indie watchmaker from my country, Singapore 🇸🇬. Funny seeing it here since I was just researching on local upcoming/microbrands haha

[@AndreasGilbert666]

Great segment! If you could have one of the watches from the collections that you´ve seen here, which would you take?

[@nilssaugen2303]

Very nice episode - really hope you do more of these. Also as a quartz entusiast I salute the comments about quartz watches!

[@robpelletier2103]

One of my favorite episodes. Hope you do another one soon!

[@xBboySpazzx]

This is genuine apprectation and a connection between audience and the team. I would love to hear you guys be more opinionated and say what the collection speaks or says about them. These collections are probably nerdy collections given the audience here. I'm sure I'm one of many who wishes to be roasted by the gentleman as well! Hope this continues! Cheers, Ken

[@CreateTimeToListen]

The watch at 17:32 is one from Humism: the Humism Rhizone. The black dot indicates the hours, the hollow dot the minutes. Instead of a seconds hand they use layers of cut-out discs with a design on it that spin around and create a kinetic pattern that keeps changing. It's kinetic art and mesmerizing to look at. Humism is also an independent brand. The watch houses a Seiko NH35A movement.

[@PJM16]

More of these, please!! Love it.

[@tombell5599]

Citizen is a seriously underrated brand in my opinion

[@nocolo123]

I love this rating episode, please keep it going make it to a series!

[@fransker13]

LOL literally seeing my bosse's collection in this episode :) Wont name drop though XD We have a Watchnerd channel in our Slack, all praising this show btw :) keep it up

[@joeplatz7289]

Fun video. I missed the call for submissions but you guys definitely inspired me to do some state of the collection shots

[@mikehenkelman2111]

this is my favorite episode so far...it literally allows watch junkies "behave" like passionate watch junkies...and reviewing others watch passions and choices is what watch journeys are all about

[@davidparrishproductions5082]

Really fun format guys! Thank you !!

[@franklucente3517]

That GShock full Ti model is one of my absolute favorites from Casio. Lightweight, solid, solar, awesome matte color scheme…top class edition. Mine will undoubtedly outlive me. 😂👍

[@LothricSun]

appreciate seeing interaction with the fans fellas. wanted to ask if you guys would do a section on the LV tambour watch and that project, some opinions and some thoughts?

[@AboutEffingTime]

Love this kind of content, a true reflection of watch dudes

[@rajmehta6210]

love that you took on my idea gents. Andrew- I'm considering pulling the trigger on the Hublot Stormtrooper after our interaction a while back. saw it in person- a real stunner. keep up the great work guys.

[@AboutEffingTime]

Because of you! 🙌

[@jasonphilp4444]

Brilliant, definitely one of my favourite shows. Please do some more of these.

[@mitchmitchell9588]

The third collection, odd watch on bottom left. I think that’s a perpetual motion watch from a small shop in Kyoto Japan. Hard to see clearly, so I could be wrong. But if it is, it’s a cool piece.

[@jgc3434]

Vintage Junghans! I thought I was alone on that.

[@firminshepherd4834]

Great stuff, especially the BYOI. Very cool.

[@davec4224]

Thanks for making it safe for families and work so I can share!fun show!

[@gabelogan8302]

Seriously guys, you should talk about Fortis, and other like brands, it’s not all Omega and Rolex. Also, just to be clear I love the work you’re doing and really appreciate all three of you. Also, George is always right.

[@SerialWheeler]

Really enjoyed this one! This is like the old Top Gear for watches.

[@yahyahra]

hahaha you're right, I was wondering why I was feeling some sort of nostalgic deja vu

[@nbcuni]

This was awesome. Really hope you turn this into a regular part of your show.

[@vishnu.narayanan]

20:52 Guys, the average of three 8's is not 7.2 (unless you're doing some weighted rating) Good video :)

[@clementsarastov5339]

I am doing an antropological study on mechanical and smart watches, can you guys explain to me why would one choose one over the other, the meaning their collection carries etc. Do you associate memories to your watches. It will be of immense help.

[@recaanharb]

Absolutely amazing episode! Please do another one, fellas!

[@videogamesare1]

Love the “would I talk to them” exercise

[@williama-d6]

I saw that joke on instagram I laughed this time round but I think its because I was prepared for it. Nice video

Great and funny episode as always🥗 Nice to see collections from other AET-watchers! Too bad you didn't pick my Seiko collection, maybe next time😋 Greetings Seikosan from Switzerland

[@stuartbrand5617]

Great to see the watches that make our friends smile.

[@v.s.4948]

Great video guys!! Loved the collections, but did else notice the Sub @28:00 looking a bit off? Fake?

[@powerdoga]

Best episode. IMO, the guy with Schofield watch wins, hands down.

[@notenoughtime7274]

Loved the episode Congrats to everyone whose collections were shown. Great to see these, and loved the insights from the panel.

[@RATBONES8]

Nice fun episode guys, greetings from Canada! Perhaps make it a small segment on every episode where you rate one or two collections?

[@matthewmckenney7230]

Great episode! Great BYOI call out!

[@Uracas2012]

Love it, though I score that first collection MUCH higher. :)

[@morgan97475]

Cool episode. Looking forward to more like this.

[@arshute]

Really interesting guys. Hope you do this again.

[@wongfeihung9724]

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Please do more! Love the banter. Consider yourself subscribed. WFH

[@raysway1897]

CONTROVERSIAL TAKE - several G-Shocks in a collection, is like several Daytonas or Nautilus. Yes, excellent watch, but for a collection - boring. Great episode as always, Gents!!!

[@khronokraze]

Great show. I'd liveto see what you think of my collection some day. Hope you do more like this episode from time to time. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@Officially_UnCertified]

Sad I missed uploading to this. I’ll definitely be contributing to the next ‘rate my collection’

[@NedStarrk007]

Totally agree on quartz. I’ve been looking into finally getting an omega and I just honestly like the 90s / early 2000’s quartz the best over anything newer.

[@watchesandburgers]

Awesome stuff! Keep it up.

[@magnusswann]

Not that its a competition but Christopher wins for me here, American 1921, Explorer I and a Watermel0n... Awesome!

Love this….another awesome show👍👍. Really great collections

[@aapeaape]

Guys! Adrian, Andrew, & George! Once again a great episode, you were all in very good mood, tongue-in-cheek but professional, opinionated, and fun and witty! And the collections were great too - keep it up! 🙏

[@andrewgee2775]

Thanks guys, another great episode. Love seeing others collections and the stories behind them. Cheers

Made me think what watches I would “Curate” to put before the “Top gear trio” 😂 Just cant work out who is Clarkson 🤔

[@tab3Gator]

Second best episode. More of this please!

[@marcusflack1523]

But whats the first best ep?

[@AfiftheChief]

One of my favorite watch related videos ever. Really cool!

[@jamesstrong836]

Very solid show. Pleased there will be more of these episodes. Also, well done George for calling out Quartz as something to be admired rather than overlooked. I think it unleashes huge amount of accessibility in watch collecting allowing people to get in to high end brands with associated design and finishing at a lower price point. I wish more brands would invest, as GS have, in high craft Quartz movements and watch making. It also genuinely helps having a highly accurate watch during the working day when hopping from meeting to meeting!

[@ViolinistWilliam]

Best episode in 6 months. Loved this. Rate more collections!!!

[@79Hokie]

Excellent episode as usual. Thanks so much for sharing. "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts" (that includes you Marcus!)

[@marcusflack1523]

ahhhh thanks heaps

[@ooxyxo]

Was a great episode, you should keep on!

[@augieonorato2377]

love the epi. Your guys' views are awesome when it comes to independent and "entry level" brands. Side note, George, where do you get your wall clocks from?

[@HSalamista]

Hey Guys! Great show, I really enjoyed you rating watch collections in this way and format! Keep it up and I would love to have this as a permanent component of your programe! Thank you :)

[@georgemoscahlades7473]

Adrian. That t shirt is one line awayfrom being very controversial.

[@NischalSheodayal]

love the Fact ...you guys kept it very real and Honest... Cheers...

[@TheOilDoctor]

Great show. Love what you guys are doing. Question- does a collection “need all bases covered”. Surely a great collection has a focus or a theme that is strong, with depth… a full series of omega constellations, heuer chronographs from the 60s, Rolex dive watches, the dirty dozen etc. All these collections under review are mostly a mishmash of stuff. Some are very much trending toward a theme (heavy on independents, watches worn by musicians etc), which is great, and if they went all in I think they’d transcend “all bases covered” in a good way.

[@MPD90]

Great episode, would love to see this become a regular segment. Could be better still with a bit more structure - i.e. each collection what's the one you'd drop, what's the one you'd add, what's the ugly duckling, what's the pillar of the collection etc.. just ideas!

[@LC_SHIELD]

Excellent idea

[@venrocking]

I'm all for it!

[@DXPetti]

Love this suggestion

[@charleshainsworth1723]

A regular segment of one collection per episode would be a SUPERB addition.

[@Timepieceguy]

This is such a great episode. I really want to hear what you have to say about mine as much as other people. I have 95% sports watches on bracelets and would be scared to hear what you think. Any chance of more of these ? Another request. I would love to see a full SOTC of George’s watches. That would get special!

[@RSSpec]

I have the same 114270 and 💯 agree that for THAT Model the 36 is just better proportions! Even compared to the newer 36 (124270) this older reference just has better proportions.

[@respectablylate3081]

Loved it and loved the variety! In my over 220 watch collection, sorry Adrian, I have around 2 of everyone's that were perused. I know it's not a competition but as everyone says... buy what you like. My 26 clocks on my office wall draw inspiration from George's room. You don't have enough time on a show to review my collection and I'm trying to reduce it by 100 or so! Lol!

[@respectablylate3081]

PS, yes I do have security, safe, shutters, locks, cameras, alarm and a dog!

[@marcusflack1523]

YESSS a DOG@@respectablylate3081

[@grahamtaaffe4261]

What do you guys think of the company 'glycine'? Thanks in advance..

[@AboutEffingTime]

Love the Airman!

[@jordanmorgan1009]

George mentioned using a safe, what’s the threshold for requiring additional security?

[@marcusflack1523]

the threshold is (if they were stolen would you simply buy them all again without blinking? if not then you need a safe. )

[@HHH-r2x6e]

I love "We rate YOUR watch collection". Please keep doing it.

[@frankiesdaliydrinks]

Great as always thanks

[@b_altmann]

Great episode, very interesting!

[@chrisenchemin7183]

Hello and thanks for this vid. About the watch you don't know about into the third collection, it's a Humism (a micro brand founded in Singapour in 2017). And the 3rd and the 5th collections are surely the better ones, in my opinion.

[@stuartdavies7351]

I’m wearing my 93 Tag Heuer F1 full lume on a steel bracelet (Wales)

[@WparuSlowach]

That Furlan Marii, such a watch! I just dusted off my instagram account. I haven't used it for years to send you my collection today. Great episode! :)
