I haven't done a state of the (watch) collection video for a while. This is a review (or overview) of my watch collection. There are actually more Seiko watches than Rolex watches, and the large majority are tool watches - plus a few quartz watches.
Watches are:
- Rolex Submariner 50th Anniversary Kermit 16610 LV - better than the Hunk!
- Rolex Submariner No Date Sub 14060m
- Rolex Explorer 14270
- Grand Seiko SBGN001 9f quartz
- CWC G10 W10
- Casio G Shock DW5600
- Plus a hand full of Seiko 5 watches

What's missing from my collection?
Bark and Jack Omega ST1 haha, know how much you love it!
You have more Rolex than me!!!!!😉
Hope you and family are well. Love from Northern Ireland 🇬🇧
Sports Chrono.. I'll say no more
Cool, I think a you could use a chronograph, maybe something interdisciplinary but durable like the SUB 200 T.GRAPH from Doxa! I also have a 12 piece collection, think it is a great number as it allows you to keep a few pieces which you are not wearing frequently but have a lot of emotional value for you.
a HMT Janata with a Hindi dial! I have a few hmt's, love that you can buy them for a tenner! Citizen movements.
I took a drink each time you said, "the watch I connected with the most".
So you are quite drunk, are you not?
I love how B&J totally does his own thing in his own way.
nick4uuk thanks mate. 🙌🏻
@@BarkandJack nice comment and I agree. Little gay that he called you B&J, though. Lol
@@MT-kx2uc Not many I know enjoy buying 10 dollars watches off eBay to pull them apart as much as they might enjoy wearing a fine time piece for the day.
@@feedthefatrabbit1073 I was going to say BJ but decided that would be a step too far.
@@nick4uuk I'm glad you exercised some restraint. 😂
I'm not on here for the hair, i'm here for the Wrangler
Haha.
The Watch Colonel I wish. 🤣
This shirt is 🔥😂
I'm from India and I've that exact hmt Kohinoor. I brought that a couple of years back as my first mechanical watch. I got hooked and now I've 4 of hmts. Hopefully I'll get a Seiko soon.
I'm super happy that you've one in your collection
What Seiko?
Seiko skx 013, couple of 5s to begin with
Adrian you have a Rolex explorer? You should have mentioned!😂😂 Only joking, what a stunning collection:)!
Jake Harvey haha.
Can you do another ‘2nd hand buyers guide’ please? Possibly going through what you would look for when buying a watch online? (I’m after an explorer 114710)
To identify the date of your skx: 1st number of the serial indicates the year of production, 2nd number for the month. For example a watch with 79xxxx serial number can be date September '07/'17. There's also an online 'calculator' to date a particular seiko.
..apart from that I'd love to see more Omega appear, not necessarily in the collection, but on the channel. Feel like they've taken movement standards to a new level, not on finishing, but on sheer capability
Yes, it's as if Mr. Adrian lives in a world where the new Omega Seamaster Professional doesn't exist. I've always wondered why.
what capabilities? can you be precise?
@@doperdr the anti-magnetism as standard, the METAS timing standards, the shock resistance, all things most omega watches off as standard whilst Rolex still have a Milguass in their line
@@RobW1170 but there are brands like iwc and zenith breitling etc who do things way better than omega too. so omega capalities are not something to highlight.
zenith watches are 30000 gaus while omegas are near 15.
omega chronos dont have water resistance while breitling chronos alhave 100mt.
iwc has much better shock resistance that any omega and zenith has 2300 precision awards much better than omegas self certification.
I think there’s two issues with the Grand Seiko. 1) the yellow 2) the hands aren’t sporty, they look dressy
Please do this annually. I really connected with my No Date Submariner 114060. So comfortable and the glide lock makes the bracelet versatile in hot and cold. Surely you need 2 things. 1. Chronograph - eg. Speedy/Daytona 2. Dress watch - JLC or a Blancpain?
My friend you need Vostok amphibia or Citizen diver, love the collection you have, the explorer is my favorite specially the 36 mm perfect for me..Thank you for sharing an amazing experience do to this collection. 👍🏼👍🏼
The gold Seiko has Portuguese (or Brazilian Portuguese) day ! DOM means Domingo = Sunday (and in red, which makes sense). I can’t recall any other language that uses the same name. Very nice to see that.
Yes, Brazilian, I'm from Brazil. I've one in my collection.
Spanish also uses Domingo, and I know Seiko produces English/Spanish watches
The thing with an HMT is that legit, accurate HMTs are actually hard to find. I have one too, inherited it not that long ago. It's being serviced. I also wrote an article about it, which I think I shared with Adrian before. I think you should be lucky to own an authentic HMT in the first place, because they are rare, obscure, and you only get them either as "new - old - stock" or vintage.
Man, you have an HMT Kohinoor? Respect! They used to make excellent mechanical watches. See if you can get your hands on an HMT Pilot. I have a feeling you'll dig it.
I have watched over six of your videos within the past two days after discovering your channel. I really enjoyed your collection and thank you for sharing it with us! I also enjoyed your video on the Glasshüte vs Rolex, and if it were not for that video, I'd have never heard of that watchmaker! And I totally dig your philosophy in that video.
The ORIS 65 video was also refreshing! Even though I am an avid Tudor Watch fanboy, it is really refreshing learning about other watchmakers and the history separating each watchmaker! I have subscribed to your channel and I'm looking forward to learning as well as studying your previous content! Great work!
Could you do a video regarding UK contents insurance and the best options when you have valuable watches please? Interesting to hear how a safety deposit box helps
So Seiko dating is pretty simple
1st: You need to know the years Seiko produced a movement’s Reference # (6309,7549,7S26,etc) usually shown as like this 7549-7009
2: Knowing the years of production of that reference ex: the 7549 movement was produced from 1978-1986/7 so there no over lapping of years 1-10
3: Look at the serial number of the watch. Usually 6 digits ex: 820921
Digit 1: Year if manufactuer for this example it would be 1978 since now 7549’s stopped production in 1986/7
Digit 2: Month if production, 2 meaning February, after October being 0, N is for November and D for December.
Nice collection. Why no Citizen? They do make a few really nice automatics. The indices at 6 o'clock on that SXK is so off. That would drive me nuts.
I miss the vintage Seamaster! It was the nicest looking one, maybe only after the Explorer.
On the caseback of your SKX, the first two digits of the serial number is the year and month of production. E.g. 970391 - 9 means 2019 and 7 means July. For the months, 1-9 is January to September. 0 means October, N means November and D means December. The year is tricky tho, a 9 could mean 2019 or 2009. But you can check the movement number and its production period, that shoukd give you an idea. Hope this helps!
Or you can simply use a seiko date decoder which does all that for you. There are plenty online
Great video Adrian. I enjoyed finding out what you liked about your watches.
Great collection Adrian. I especially love the Explorer ref 14270. My favorite would be the ref 1016 but what is not to love with the 14270. Thanks and enjoy. Brian
Thanks Brian. I really want a 1016, they are amazing. But just so expensive.
Your next project should be replacing the movement for the SKX. I just picked one up and it was running super fast (maybe magnetized). Under warranty service, they just replaced the entire movement. I have an older timegrapher and was able to regulate it to -3/day. A new movement is inexpensive and can be easily found. Its good to go as an everyday beater.
Watch demagnitisers are available on Ebay for almost nothing. It should sort the Skx If that is the problem. Missing a pilot watch?
The first digit of the SKX's serial number is the year of production, the second is the month, even though is quite tricky to understand the exact decade of production
Inspired me to look for interesting watches to add to my collection, does not need to be expensive just something you like.
The HMT kohinoor is soo retro. a perfect,easy on the pocket manual wind. 💛
Omega Seamaster. Will bring you joy Adrian, I’m sure of it ! Thanks for this video, interesting to see your collection 👍
Awesome vid, Adrian. In regards to your GS, how long do you normally give yourself to connect with the watch before you consider moving on from it?
Good to see them again, for what it’s worth my favourites are the GS and the SKX. Yep that’s right the GS because it is awesome and the SKX because you made me buy one when you we’re modding yours, (seems like ages ago). I was not expecting much when I ordered it, but loved it and still love it to bits (almost as much as you love the explorer!). 😉
What are your thoughts on the HMT Kohinoor?
It’s about £30 brand new in India
Just before house arrest a friend of mine was telling me how little he wears his year old Explorer as he’s worried about marking the bezel and we joked about me taking it off his hands as I’m not so much OCD about these things. Watching that explorer on your wrist has certainly whetted my appetite to making him a serious offer it’s such a cool piece.
im not sure why people would think the air man looks like the exporer 2
Great collection. Re the Grand Seiko GMT, didn’t you almost re-purchase a Rolex Explorer 2? Do you wish you had? I know you regret selling your first Rolex and if you haven’t connected with the Grand Seiko?
Best watch in your collection, the GS!!!
Wow these are all very inspiring! Will definitely look into adding them to our collections
Phirsst. Ive been waiting for this one!
Where is your Tudor Black Bay Harrods Edition? Michael from Germany
Timex and citizen 7 eagle are missing. Love HMT Kohinoor (crown diamond)
I really like your collection, I will look into that Rolex you have there. Thank you for sharing and keep those vids coming. You are awesome and keep safe.
I love your work Sir! Great video. Great content!
Good video Adrian, enjoyed hearing why they connect with you personally. . Or why they dont. Much better than listening to a biased review that's obviously being sponsored. I want to get in a shop and try a grand seiko with a view to buying but guess it's a while off yet before it's possible and safe. Keep cheering us up with the cheerful banter.
strangely enough i love the cwc the best as style ... explorer as number 2
Great Video, love what your doing. What’s your grail watch? K
Nobody ever seems to have a rado in their collection, I've got an original diver and it's an amazing watch. I mean their not everyone's cup of tea, but they are beautifully made. Ive handled a lot of rolexes and I've always been a bit disappointed with them, for what they cost. Don't get me wrong they are well made but pushing upwards of 5k now for any model in decent condition is madness to me. I liked your batman yet you must of sold it ??? I had the chance to buy a Kermit for 2500 new, but the wife at the time went mental at me wanting to spend that much on a watch. It was in a sale too. I know longer have that wife now 😂😂😂
What is your opinion about the Rolex air king
You need a Speedmaster Pro or a Panerai
'I was getting recognised"
Sure you were mate
Give it time buddy. Your 4 subs might become 40k one day, then you'll start to get recognised too.
Great video! Thank you.
I almost purchased a sub in the early 2000's a few times, but just found other places to spend my money instead, settling on an Omega Seamaster 120 and a Tag. The Tag is gone, but I'll never sell the Seamaster. In hindsight!
Still to much Rolex. Boring, overhyped.... for people that just dont know
What brands are for people that know?
@@mikejones-dx8bx anything not mainstream and commercialized that requires some study...? For sure the Rolex "Killy" would not be nicknamed like that if more people knew Killy wore a 765CP Breitling for the Olympics. But Rolex is very good to make a sales pitch and that is what they are mostly good at :). You want a diver? Get a: Doxa, Favre Leuba, Certina DS, Eterna, Eberhard,... You want a motosport chrono? Get a: Hand wound autavia or the first 68'automatic or Zenith A386,... or whatever else from the smaller brands with V72. The best daytona there was had an ElPrimero anyway 🤣
I love the CWC and the Mondaine and the HMT, probably the cheapest ones as I can only relate to those :D the others are nice too, but i kinda like the affordability about a watch so much that i kinda don't even want anything else. The most expensive watch i own is a seagull 1963 chrono...
Nice SOTC review. Eclectic mix, definitely on price range. Its the watch not its value that counts. If a piece is worth more than when you bought, well thats a bonus.
Am I right in thinking you have moved to Scotland? Is there a back story with that? Excuse my inquisitive nature.
Great content man. keep it up!
are the sides of your 16610LV bracelet brushed or polished?
Ginault ocean rover
Stowa partitio Vintage Limited Black
Sinn 556l
Projectwatch: Vintage Gruen airflight atomaton military warch
Nothing better than having a hefty ding on your bezel.
Excellent videos and lovely channel, just one comment if may i, (voice is not in the quality of ur videos) thank u dear
totally feel you on the Explorer, such a perfect watch!!
As a bald guy... you're head it's perfectly fine , sir. And I love high accuracy quartz movements.
Any thoughts on Hamilton? I love the jazz master viewmatic open heart in black, with the half skeleton face
you need a casio F91.
Fantastic collection!!! 😍
I would like to see a review on the HMT.
What are your thoughts about the current 39mm Explorer watch.
I was once the only authorized HMT dealer in the US....yeah...that ended badly:)
Just watched this video... 20211010... very entertaining and makes an 'amateur' collector like myself feel encouraged about not having to accumulate the 'major players' to make a good collection
Not gonna lie, a little disappointed in the line up, was expecting to see a JLC Reverso in there after you visited their factory. I’d get rid of the seiko garbage and go all in for any of the JLC IMO.
What happened to the Batman??
Adrian, Check out www.watchsleuth.com/seikodatefinder/ to find what year your Seiko watches are. Your Gold Seiko that doesn't work can now be a a strip down, clean and oil project for you to do, more fun.
Love the Grand Seiko
Update!
Do you still have the Apple Watch?
yes, the explorer with the Japanese aesthetic of understatement
You're missing a chrono (you may say you arent a chrono guy but everyone says that until they are one!), they are very tactile and you will enjoy one when it's on your wrist often. Anyone that enjoys a Seiko 5 fidget spinner will enjoy using a Chrono! Not a moonwatch cos it feels too similar to your mostly black sub and Expy. I'd think abt the Zenith 38mm El Primero Revival or the a384?
I'm from India and I was pleasantly surprised to see an HMT in the collection. My dad used to have one as well.
I wish hmt was still around
@@mooo9091 They're still available to purchase from the official website, I bought a new HMT watch with a display case back a couple of months ago.
WISDM BOP They are still available on their website. I bought 3 Hmt kohinoors a few months back.
I beamed myself when that bit came up.
It's a very good looking watch!
Love that “Arabic” Seiko 5, I’ve looked at that one a time or two.
Great array of watches, I do think the Kermit was the best thing Rolex ever done. Unfortunately hype has made that watch a bit of a( stuck in a safe) watch. Shame really. I find the Hulk quit ugly, and looks like your trying to hard to look flash. Hard to believe you bought that for just over 5 grand, only 3 years ago. What has been going on. Rick
The price is crazy on the Kermits now. They certainly aren’t worth over £10k.
I knew that youd be selling that grand seiko back when you bought it.....at least you tried something different so props to you
The batman is missing, my friend. You shouldn't have sold it.
It's just a watch. No biggie.
When are you getting a Reverso? An Omega sometime? Keep the reviews coming.
Actually mate I was supprised your collection was quite light, was expecting a tonne of luxury watches however it was great to see a good ballance of affordable quality watches.
Maybe missing a Chrono or 2?
I have 4 watches I have connected with, the 2020 Alpinist, Oris Aquis 39, Gshock 5610 and Seiko Flighty. I am looking for a formal Chrono and will probably go for the Speedmaster in a few years however I have a life goal which if I achieve before I am 50 then I will reward myself with an Explorer.......12 years to work on this goal 😉👍
How could you even survive a Tuesday, without a proper Speedy in your collection? :D
Interesting... I have a box full of storied watches and yet I never consider them part of my "collection" because I don't wear them. Guess I need to rethink what the term "collection" means to me.
I have those type of storied watches as well, and I also don't really think of them as my collection. Though with that said I can understand why Adrian covered them as they are watches and he does own them.
Personally I have been putting them out around the house, kind of decoratively. It's kind evokes a memory or a story like a picture in a frame does for me, and I figured it's nice to see them through out the day. Though I suppose to people who don't know those stories will think I just leave watches around everywhere in the house...
Interesting watch collection you have Adrian, that Kermit is looking stunning as ever! Funny that you mentioned "if I was a one watch person?". That's what I was thinking of doing, I am selling all my watch collection (mostly Orises), probably I need to save up a bit as well - I thinking of getting a Rolex explorer and that's going to be my only watch and I am going wear it all the time.
Clever bit with the transition to plug B&J leather and NATO straps back-to-back. 😎
AmishNinjaMaster thanks buddy. 👍🏻
I needed a hair cut when “Lockdown” hit, a month into it and I handed my wife a sharp pair of scissors and asked her to cut my hair 😱. Now at least I don’t look like a homeless person, just look like a prisoner out on work release 😆😆😆.
😂
:)) :)) :))
You've got Swiss, you've got Japanese, but I see you don't have anything from Germany?
Yes Adrian - get something from Germany!
Get a nomos just for lols
... or go for a Sinn, maybe? ;)
Might watch to see some Lange
Agreed... Adrian needs a Nomos or Stowa. The Marine Classic 36 with the manual movement would complement the collection well.
You could go for a spring drive and sell the grand Seiko you have.
Agreed - SD is something you can't get anywhere else and it is a genuinely cool movement. You can see it too just looking at it, with the completely smooth sweep. And the fact you can see it on the dial really counts. If he wants HAQ again, Citizen's Chronomaster has always been superior to 9F, especially caliber A060. Cheaper too! Just don't order one now because Japan Post is not delivering abroad.
@@johnanth yes they are
The watches you have regretted selling and buying .. great vid nice to see watches that dont break the bank
I remember every video that featured most of your watches here. I dont remember you featuring the G-Shock, the gold Seiko 5 and the HMT, while the Mondaine and the CWC were only casually referenced in videos about project watches and EBay, i believe. What i remember the most was you freezing your bum off talking about your vintage Omega Seamaster. Its inspiring seeing your channel grow.
To date your Seikos, all you have to do is look at the first 2 number of the serial on the caseback. The first number is the year (i.e., 1 = 2001 or 2011), and the second number is the month of that year (0 = october, N = november, D = december). Hope this helps. Looking forward to more B&J videos!
Seeing an HMT in your collection was the highlight for me.. .that's dope.
Never loved that GS either. For all its worthy aspects, it just looks dull!
Your reaction to GS is the same one I have. I love the technology, the finish, the whole concept behind them... but I just never connected with them. Went to the store 3 different times to look at 3 different GS's including a high-beat and spring drive... and ended up with a Seamaster 41mm with a blue dial.
"It's not all Rolex" made me to watch this video. Please don't disappoint me!
@@powerplay.556 😂😂😂
Everybody bought the Rolex just for the resell value.that’s all.
I typically dislike the "tick" of a quartz watch, but for some reason the tick of the GS looks more precise. I can't wait to see the video of its movement.
I know what you mean. The 9F movement makes me enjoy the tick in an odd way. It’s so precise.
@@BarkandJack How much is that Grand Seiko watch worth approx. bud?
I believe GS's quartz movements tick twice per second. So it's very smooth and accurate looking
A blue dial? Come on stop being such a fuddy duddy. 😉
I did not see your Christopher Ward C60 GMT in the video!
Zeus Romanetti I did a give away with that watch as it was given to me.
WIS: Don't put leather straps on divers!
Panerai: Hold my beer...
Also Squale: hold my Peroni
You need some Omega in your life.
