It was getting boring those shows with millionaires talking “Rolex, Patek, Rolex, Patek, …” Now we are talking about genuine watch collecting. People who collect because like watches, not just because social status.
Wow, wow, wow! I think Hodinkee just birthed the "No Reservations" for watches. Amazing first episode and incredibly hosted by Cole. I can't wait to see where this series goes.
Cole Pennington represents the best of what Hodinkee has evolved into. He's knowledgeable without coming off as pretentious. It's really refreshing to see. I can't wait to see what he does in the next episode.
Excellent, interesting mini documentary. This new series has the potential to be the best Hodinkee ever made. Looking forward to the next on pilot’s watches. Congrats !
Cole, you just entered the stage of great travel / lifestyle show hosts. I enjoyed this show. It almost felt like we got Anthony Bourdain back - as a watch show host. Almost. Almost is quite good. Keep it up. You got this.
I can already tell this show will go up to legendary status and even surpass Talking Watches. It shows us that there's more of us out there on a worldwide scale. What a great idea!
I think this series will be my most favorite of the productions from Hodinkee. The host exhibit an admirable combination of enthusiasm and kindness. I’m excited to see more of this!
Absolutely brilliant! This is exactly what I would expect from Hodinkee - bringing a niche segment of a brand's history to the masses. You've nailed all your goals for this series. Piquing people's interest, shining light on the history of watches, and delivering it in an entertaining package. Keep up the great work! - N
Man, Hondinkee is something else, how did I just get into this rabbit hole of a channel, who would've thought Seiko has such a special connection to Thailand, next Thailand trip gonna go brrraazyyy
Thank you Hodinkee! Exactly what I was hoping for and so much more in this first episode. I really hope that this series remains authentic - a balance of budget and luxury watches, devoid of Rolex-heavy content. Thank you, again, for a fantastic first episode.
Absolutely love this series, can’t wait for the next one. Actually a trip to Thailand for the end of the year is already in the making, I’ll add some Seiko spotting to the plan.
Love the story behind the Seiko Monster name. I am Absolutely Stoked about this new series! Hodinkee never disappoints with their creative content…Take me with you on the next one !?!
One of the best videos from Hodinkee in a while, really loved this one. Made me start looking for a monster, I've never been a big fan but that SKX779 looks great
I very rarely, if ever, comment on a TH-cam video of any kind. As a lover of watches and video production values, I felt compelled to make an exception to that rule. Excellent video. Excellent content. Keep up the good work!
I enjoyed the videos Cole and Nora did with Mark from C&C and really enjoyed this. It was fun to watch and I learned about a slice of the world of watches I had no clue about. Thank you and I am really looking forward to the rest of the series.
Nice! The 1st Philippine exclusive limited edition made a cameo. 😊 As a Filipino, hopefully our seiko exclusives get to Thailand's level. We're only up to 2 so far, hehehe.
Thank you for starting this series with Thailand and Seiko. Myself was lucky in 2007 when I started watch collecting to find a Blue Monster at MBK at the retail price. For your next episode, I remember this australian gentleman from the Jatujak week end market where all the vintage watch collectors gathered ( it was the good time then around 2011-2012 ).
Cool, video! Yeah, from another TH-cam channel that has the author live or frequent business in Thailand, he always checks out Seiko's and puts out an occasional video when he does. It's been a while, though. And, apparently, Thailand is Seiko's #1 fan base in the world. As such, apparently, they get a lot of Thailand special/limited editions. At least that's what he says. Not just limited to Thailand, but, Seiko as a whole, has A LOT of hidden gems to be discovered, both new and old. So many cool Thailand models, one of my faves is the SKXA65... Although I could do without this candy bar cyclops on that one.
I own 3 samurai divers,1 sumo diver, 1 Seiko Hulk,1 cocktail time Presage(My wife picked that one). This video was excellent. Many of those Thai watches would sell in the U.S. without a problem especially the yellows. There are Grand Seiko boutiques in the U.S. but I have not seen just Seiko boutiques has any one else seen one ?
Having about a dozen of Seiko and Grand Seiko, I just learnt from this video about the origin of the name Monster was actually a locally invented in Thailand ! Thank you for making this video.
I agree that this was just an excellent video, from concept to execution. As this video shows, if you spend any time in Asia, it's just wrong to think of Seiko as an underdog! Again, very well done. Keep this series going!
This was an awesome video! It's great to see other brands other than the current "elite" watches that's promoted all the time. I love watching collectors and listening to their stories on why they started collecting. Can't wait for more episodes!
It was getting boring those shows with millionaires talking “Rolex, Patek, Rolex, Patek, …” Now we are talking about genuine watch collecting. People who collect because like watches, not just because social status.
Well said !
Hodinkee stepping it up in 2022!! Netflix level show! As a huge lover of Seiko with over 25 in my collection this episode was 🔥🔥
I'm Thai, and I didn't knew the nickname Monster was born here, Thank you Hodinkee for making such a great show!
Wow, wow, wow! I think Hodinkee just birthed the "No Reservations" for watches. Amazing first episode and incredibly hosted by Cole. I can't wait to see where this series goes.
Excellent episode/series. 👍🏻
Great Series and a better direction than only showing 6 or 7 figure watches only. Looking forward to the next episode!
Pardon my ignorance, but never knew this side of Seiko, much less the enthusiasm in Thailand for timepieces! Thanks for the wonderful video.
Cole Pennington represents the best of what Hodinkee has evolved into. He's knowledgeable without coming off as pretentious. It's really refreshing to see. I can't wait to see what he does in the next episode.
Had to go swap out the G-Shock on my wrist for my SKX007 while watching this. This is going to be a great series. Well done, Hodinkee.
XD Also switched out to a diver mid video. Kind of hard not to.
Excellent, interesting mini documentary. This new series has the potential to be the best Hodinkee ever made. Looking forward to the next on pilot’s watches. Congrats !
Cole, you just entered the stage of great travel / lifestyle show hosts.
I enjoyed this show. It almost felt like we got Anthony Bourdain back - as a watch show host. Almost.
Almost is quite good. Keep it up. You got this.
I loved the reason behind this new series, can wait for the next episodes. The production is great as always!!
The best 11:27 minutes I’ve spent today. Brilliantly shot, written & presented…congratulations to all involved & looking forward to the next one.
What a great segment, I'd watch an entire show dedicated to smaller docu-series like this.
Loved this, congratulations Cole! Cant wait for more episodes.
Holy moly, Cole is setting up the new bar high for everyone else in the watch related media!
I absolutely loved this episode and I’m super excited for this series! Grey Nato meets Hodinkee 🔥 ❤️
I can already tell this show will go up to legendary status and even surpass Talking Watches. It shows us that there's more of us out there on a worldwide scale. What a great idea!
Cole, I really enjoy your work and look forward to seeing more of it! You've become my favorite part of Hodinkee.
Love the passion of the collectors in Thailand. Great episode!

Man, Hondinkee is something else, how did I just get into this rabbit hole of a channel, who would've thought Seiko has such a special connection to Thailand, next Thailand trip gonna go brrraazyyy
Thank you Cole and team for making this happen!
I love this!!!!!! Cole is a huge talent and i hope HODINKEE sees this man’s potential.
Thank you Hodinkee! Exactly what I was hoping for and so much more in this first episode. I really hope that this series remains authentic - a balance of budget and luxury watches, devoid of Rolex-heavy content. Thank you, again, for a fantastic first episode.
Holy cow this is the best thing hodinkee has put out IN YEARS. More of this type of content please!
Finally some new interesting watch content! This is a huge contender to ‘Talking Watches’. Excellent job, Cole!
What an incredible collection and awesome guy. Fantastic show, great job HODINKEE! Can’t wait for the next one.
WOW! This is an AMAZING series, I was hoping for a 30 minute long video version. Incredible great job
This is next level content. It's about culture and passion and it is so respectful. Feels like how Bourdain would have covered watches.
Absolutely love this series, can’t wait for the next one.
Actually a trip to Thailand for the end of the year is already in the making, I’ll add some Seiko spotting to the plan.
Awesome, awesome, awesome Cole. Unadulterated watch and culture pleasure. More more more
Love the new series! Looking forward to more episodes!
I really love the presenter, calming, informative, and seems like a nice and good fella!
It was nice listening to Akashi-san too!
Oh man this will be an amazing video series! Great job!

INCREDIBLE VIDEO. My new favorite series on TH-cam
Amazing collection of "out of the ordinary" Seikos! Looking forward to the future episodes.
One of the best videos from Hodinkee in a while, really loved this one. Made me start looking for a monster, I've never been a big fan but that SKX779 looks great

Amazing series! Can't wait to see more of these.
Great content. Happy to see HODINKEE creating new things. And yes, Cole is amazing.
P.S: Would be great to see this around the world!
Ya Cole!!! Best Hodinkee person for this job
Wow! I am quite happy that Cole is given his due on Hodinkee, and obviously more power to Seiko!
Excellent video Hodinkee and welcome to Thailand. Yes, majority of Thais love Seiko.
Amazing new series. Looking forward to the new episodes that are to come. Good job HODINKEE 👍🏻.
I love Talking Watches, but this show has taken things to the next level. Great show! Please make them a frequent staple.
This should be a great series! Enjoyed this. :)
Gimme some YELLOW! Excellent first episode. You’ve hooked me as a fan of this new series. So well produced!
I enjoyed the videos Cole and Nora did with Mark from C&C and really enjoyed this. It was fun to watch and I learned about a slice of the world of watches I had no clue about. Thank you and I am really looking forward to the rest of the series.
Great series. Looking forward to the next one.
Love the concept for this series. Keep'em coming
Has the watch I just bought in the intro. And the person using it underwater. I instantly love this.
HODINKEE meets Anthony Bourdain. Thank you Cole for this excellent episode.
Perfect! Love the concept of this new show! Kudos, Cole and Hodinkee!!
Loved the video! Got my first Seiko a month ago and fell in love immediately! It was the Presage "Ginza" 140 Anniversary!
Cole is incredible and the theme fits him perfectly. Great job.
Nice! The 1st Philippine exclusive limited edition made a cameo. 😊
As a Filipino, hopefully our seiko exclusives get to Thailand's level. We're only up to 2 so far, hehehe.
I love this, and very much looking forward to more in the series. Cole seems to be absolutely perfect for this type of video!

Strapped on my wrist is a newly built seiko watch. You gotta love Seikos man! Great video
Cool, video!
