Well it’s been over a year since my last watch collection video. I’ve actually added a bunch of new watches to the lineup, mostly because I acquired a website, theslenderwrist.com, and I’ve been buying or being sent watches to review.
If theslenderwrist sounds familiar, it’s because the original founder, Alessandro, used to have a TH-cam channel under the same name. He changed the name of that channel to @TimedSquare, and he still uploads videos about watches. He’s a great guy, and you should definitely go check out his videos.
Right now, The Slender Wrist is just a website, but I may start a TH-cam channel in the future. Comment below if you’d like to see a channel dedicated to wrist watches. Anyway, in this video, I’ll go over my current collection. These are the watches I actually wear, not every single watch I own right now.

I first came across your channel Brock when you reviewed the SKX. Since then, you got me into watches and mens style. You're a true gentleman and your content online is brilliant. Congratulations on the new website 👏
Thank you, sir! I appreciate that 🙏🏻
Careful. Watches can be addictive. Either quantity or quality wise, it is easy to let things get out of hand.
I’m not much of a collector (of anything) so I don’t worry about quantity. I agree it’s tempting to keep leveling up in value, although not sure if I’d be comfortable wearing anything pricier than the Explorer on my wrist.
@@BrockMcGoff good for you, and that Explorer is one fine watch. Maybe all the watch anyone really needs, except for a beater, and maybe a dress watch.
I am 25 years plus into collecting watches, and I still get caught up in the just 1 or 2 more trap.
10 max, anymore and you will get lost in the twilight zone.

I have a santos dumont. Don’t let the “large” and “xl” monickers fool you one or the other could work with a smaller wrist
I haven't bought a new watch for a while. The last watch I bought was a Ricoh automatic mechanical watch from the 1980s
I can't argue, your collection is pretty much what I would choose. I have a few of your choices such as the seiko 013, also I have an older alpinist with green dial. I recently developed an interest in vintage tanks by American makers mainly because of the smaller sizes and in my opinion very elegant look, especially for more formality. Will definitely check out your new website and thank you for addressing the smaller wrists crowd.
Awesome! Let me know what you think of the site.
I remember years ago I suggested you get an Explorer and you replied that it was your grail watch. I see you got one!
My last watch purchase was the Lorier Falcon II. Same blue dial. Totally agree about the Casio f-91. For my beater casio i went with the W-86
I was wondering what happened with Alesandro and suddenly saw you when I went to the website. Definitely makes sense now. Thanks for the quick look into your collection.
That taupe dial is just insane. Its just amazing, definitely your best watch.
The video I’ve been waiting to see for a while; love the collection and keep up the great work!
Thanks! Will do!
I think a navy leather strap would look amazing on your Datejust. I'm a huge fan of the navy strap and silver dial combo. Give it a try!
You should consider focusing on watches as well as mens style 👍
That's how Teddy started.
could you make a video on styling flannel
love your videos and your voice
Thanks! I have an older video about flannel shirts, but I'll think about a new version when we get closer to fall!
@@BrockMcGoff Thanks for your valuable replay
Great video
I have yet to see an actual Lorier, but they seem like a great brand
Fine choice with that Lorier! I have a Gemini and a Hyperion from them and I absolutely love the models. My first Rolex was the new explorer, you’ll love the updated model.
What a beautiful and unique collection!
That lorier is soo beautiful. I absolutely love the bracelet with the angled style and brushed finish. It's kinda like the tissot prx.
If only they had the end link also flat then it would be perfect
Congrats on the kid! Dont think I knew about that milestone.
Thanks!
Best Rolex on a budget is the explorer best love it
Tell me about it I’m up to 21 watches trying not to go over keeping a tight healthy collection.
You bailed on the khaki mechanical?
I still own it but it doesn't get any wrist time.
Love the collection
My watch collection is pretty weird at many points. It all started with a Timex Expedition that my father gave me when I was 14. But my passion for watches started when I was 16. Then my parents gave me a Lorus watch that got actually pretty beat up during all of these years. 9 months later I bought my first own watch which was the Seiko 5. That thing has also been worn a lot. Then shortly after I turned 18 I needed a more sporty watch. So I bought a Casio Fishing Gear. Before the High School Graduation as a dress watch I acquired the Timex Weekender Fairfield. During the longest break I had a lot of watches came into my possesion. W800H, A168 and Edifice EFA120. When I went into college I got a Citizen Chronograph as a gift. During covid times my collection expanded into Casio Oak and Citizen Marine Automatic. Year after that I bought an Edifice chronograph and DW6500 G-Shock. I also got an Orient quartz dress watch. 2 of the last watches I bought are automatic. Swatch Sistem51 is the first one and the other is the Timex Marlin.
Thanks for the updated collection video, Brock! Cheers, man.
Cheers!
Great review. I myself have a slender wrist and I feel that a JLC reverso would make a wonderful addition to your collection. I have a reverso duo and absolutely love it.
I love Lorier
Great video and collection! Watch nerd fun fact: The clasp is called "deployant" rather than "deployment." Cheers!
I had no idea. Thanks for the tip!
Very cool collection, and what a perfect size 6 watches!!!
Where’s your Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical?
Great selection
That SKX though 👌🏼
That's a solid collection, Brock! I'm with you about "distressed" jubilee bracelets. So much so that I kept the one on my SKX013 - pure janky awesomeness. It's great to see you taking TSW to a whole new level :) Take care!
Thank you, sir! Yeah, a well-aged jubilee is more comfy than cotton. Love the jubilee/SKX combo 🤌🏼
With the SKX discontinued, I've become a huge fan of the Long Island Watch company divers. I've seen the SKX for about $1k plus these days. I'll get 3 Islander watches for that price tag.
been waiting forever sir for an update
yay
I love my 2021 36mm Rolex Explorer and started to look into smaller sized watches and really enjoy the JLC Reverso Medium Small seconds. It comes with a brown leather strap that leans more to casual, but can easily be switched to a more dressy look. I also got the Cartier Santos in medium recently and like it more than the large for my 6.5in wrist. I think you should also try the Reverso - very classy and easy to wear.
DONT SWAP! That is the best Rolex Explorer. Great video!
Have you tried the 124270? Looks like a slight upgrade IMO, although they're pretty similar. It's def not worth $10k+...
@@BrockMcGoff Tried it on last week and really liked it though I could not agree more... Not work the 10K price tag.
I do recommend replacing your Rolex Explorer 114270 from my perspective as an owner of the new Rolex Explorer. It’s just a lot more of a solidly constructed watch. The entire bracelet is solid! It has an amazing Caliber 3230 residing within the watch that are also in Rolex’s other professional models. Accuracy is +2/-2 sec per day and it’s anti magnetic with 70hr power reserve. So it’s quite a huge departure from the previous 36mm. That said, some collectors do like the older ones more because of their feel. It’s all up to you if you swap it with the new Explorer. If you do, you’ll end up with another amazing watch. Also, the Cartier Santos it’s in my watchlist 😂. Stay safe Brock!
Yes, I would recommend getting on the list. Wouldn’t pay over retail of course. I just picked up the 124270 and love it. I did own the 39mm version but just didn’t click. Ricky is right, it’s just a feel thing, and since you don’t have an emotional connection to the 114270, just see which you like better. Another point is that the new version has AR under the crystal which really helps legibility and makes the dial prettier in my opinion. Thanks Brock for a great video
@@Rancid_Ziggy noted, thanks for your input! I don't have a relationship with any AD since I've always gone preowned, but might be worth getting on a list anyway...
This is an incredible collection. Also, I was just wondering where your father's citizen watch
Definitely need a watch with a crazy pop of color. Seeing all white,grey, and black dials on silver bracelets isn’t the funnest to look at.
When I can afford a Rolex watch, I’m REALLY looking towards getting my birth year Rolex Explorer. I feel your first Rolex should be a symbol of who you are as a person
love your video man! 🙌🇵🇭
Beautiful collection, dude! Love all them.
Solid lineup!
Thank you!
Very cool to just see a "normal" watch collection. Nothing exotic that you had to mortgage your house for. Just honest, actually worn, nice watches that are attainable for almost anyone with a little determination.
Do you still have your dad's citizen watch?
Yes! I just don’t wear it often. It’s in a keepsake box.
Just FYI: deployant clasp
Good video. Just subscribed
Thank you!
Decent collection. Needs more Swiss variety.
Keep the explorer. Bought the new one and my AD allowed me to return it. Too dainty even for my 6.25 inch wrist. The older ones had more presence on the wrist with the bracelet on
Good to know! Although daintier sounds good for me haha. Want to sell it to me??
@@BrockMcGoff I would have but I have to play this crazy Rolex AD relationship to be on their good graces and returned it. Btw I ended up ordering the Medium Santos in replacement. It’s been 6 weeks and counting. Even the Cartier’s are harder to acquire.
Great!
Ah so the Citizen quartz has finally retired.
It's a keepsake but I don't actually wear it anymore.
you can never be wrong with a Seiko.
how you keep your other automatic watch moving? :)
What do you think of the Lorier Falcon 3? Was thinking of buying it.
I prefer the older model. New one seems a bit too close to the Explorer, and I kind of have an aversion to homage type watches. It’s a cool watch though!
@@BrockMcGoff thanks for responding and the answer! Love your videos.
Nice collection. But they're all black and white. Do you think to have a colored ( at least blue or green ) dial watch?
The Lorier is navy blue. It might just look black in some lighting scenarios.
I need your help. Would anyone have a recommendation for a watch? It should have a diameter of 35-38mm and a maximum of 45mm lug to lug, have sapphire glass, 5-10bar, max. 10mm high and a quartz movement or solar with at least 5 years battery life. In terms of price, I imagine around €300. Visually, it should be sporty but also minimalistic. optics such as a gs 263 or rolex op / explorer1 or an omega aqua terra or something in the direction of the Bauhaus style. I hope for a few suggestions. (I already have a tissot prx35 and junghans milano solar would be an option, but maybe you can think of something else.
Greetings from Germany
What happened to the orient bambino 36mm?
I prefer the Presage over the Bambino these days.
Do you have trouble fitting some watches under shirts and jackets?
This hapenned to me after I tailored my jacket.
Also 3 minutes intro omg
It's About time... 😅
😂
The presage and the Lorier are redundant, i'd move them on. Nice collection though
The Lorier, maybe. The presage is the only true dress watch, although the DJ can serve that purpose these days.
Any watch collection is good Casio , omega, rado, Seiko, etc etc. All good until you get a Hublot in there😂✌️
A teddy baldassar trajectory here 🤔
Buy a Rolex GMT Master Batman
Its 837J1, not 827
Blimey! Come here for the watches and get 8 mins of clothing adverts!?! I get you need sponsors but it's a huge chunk of chat that is boring and lost on most people I imagine.
Hey Peter Parker, you wasted too much time on the clothes.
I can't tell if this is a compliment or burn 🙃
No such thing as 'Hacking' in the watch world - the term is actually 'adjusting'. You hack a computer - never a watch.
Hacking means the second hand stops when you pull the crown out, allowing for more precise time setting.
No chronograph?
