    I don’t often comment on watch videos but hat’s off to you sir. Abiding by your 2 rules, it is extremely apparent that a lot of thought and care went into building this collection. Such a wide variety of designs and functions. Simply awesome. Bravo!

      Wow, I am truly speechless! It’s not often that one gets such incredible feedback! I gotta say my enthusiasm regarding this new undertaking was dipping down a little, after 48 hours of no notifications, but to get home and read yours and two more extremely flattering comments below and see my subscriber count tripling is a jolt of electricity! Thank you!

    What I love about this video is that its so relatable. It isn't the Rolex's, the Patek's, the Audemar's that sometimes feel hard to attain.... and this video shows that there are other beautiful brands out there. There is more diversity and beauty out in the world.
    These watches are treasures! And very attractive. Please make more of this, Sir.
    Thank you!

      Thank you so much for this warm feedback! I personally enjoy having at least a litlle of everything in my life, so I carried that over into watch collecting. Make sure you stay tuned, 'cause I'm planning a mid year SOTC update that will feature a whole lot of new faces!

    I enjoy watching SOTC videos and Watch content in general too, also started collecting too for about a year.
    Your collection is really cool and just by the selection of watches, I can see you have a great eye for whats a worthy watch for the watch box.
    Thank you for sharing.
    Peace out

    Very nice collection and well thought out Not too many of us watch collectors can say the same Alot of impulse pieces are in my own collection sorry to say but I still enjoy most all of them and that's the point Right Well done my friend I'm sure you will enjoy then for many years as I have with little regret Thanks for sharing my friend 👍

    • @watchyawant

      Thank you for the kind words! As far as impulse buys I, myself, am guilty as charged, as the collection featured in this video is the fruit of constant streamlining.

    Lovely collection! Thanks for the video. I appreciate the variety and careful forethought that you are affording your watch collection. I have been collecting watches since I was a teenager in the 1970s. My dad used to wear an Omega Seamaster, but I could only afford Seikos (of which I own quite a selection, some having become quite valuable over the years). I never sell any watches as I can attach special moments and memories to all my watches… which brings me back to Omega.
    I have been hunting for ages to find the original 1995 Bond “Golden Eye” Seamaster with a quartz movement (Reference 2541.80.00), which used to be available for a song on the used market. This year, for my 63rd birthday, I was very fortunate to find “my” Omega (completely original with all papers and box), which my son helped secure for me. Of course, prices have rocketed on these watches, so it is no longer in my “affordable” bracket. Nonetheless, it is a grail watch that I will cherish for the rest of my days.

    Can't find that timex anywhere and the bracelet on the revelot is outstanding. Congrats.

    • @watchyawant
      @watchyawant  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you! Unfortunately, Timex are pulling a MoonSwatch with their Waterbury AND Q chronos being constantly unavailable. Their “back in stock” emailing doesn’t work either, so it takes perseverance and/or good luck to source one of the watches. Speaking of this particular piece, you may find my review of it on the channel. Also, not only the bracelet, but the bezel of the Revelot shines like crazy!

    You should add another Certina the DS two tone to your collection! The 43mm with the ceramic bezel insert 🔥 stunning piece

    • @watchyawant
      @watchyawant  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Certina are one of the most underrated watch brands which makes getting great deals very likely. I am not sure which one of their models you're reffering to, but the blue DS Action Day-Date is on my wishlist for a long time.
      Since you mentioned Certina, go take a look at my paisano Andrei's work at Brave Beaters, if you haven't already. His is one of the best channels on the TH-cam and he's an ambassador of the Swiss brand.
      Thank you very much for commenting, hope to hearing from you again!

      @@watchyawant I personally own the Certina DS action diver in the 38mm size! This ⌚ has everything I need, in fact it looks very elegant when I wear a suit. You're right on that! VERY UNDERRATED. For the price you're getting a ton of value. I'll check his channel, thanks for the recommendation. 😎

    The only one I ain't feeling is the Rotary, but that's me. The Escapement time is a cracker too.

    • @watchyawant
      @watchyawant  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! I agree the Rotary’s style might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but if one digs this shape, then the watch is great value. Tastes change, anyway - I initially couldn’t stand aviation watches, but now they’re my favourites.

    The Sugess fits your wrist perfectly. I think you would not be happy with 40mm one. Old watches used to be small. Keep in mind, that oversized watches are not comfortable to wear, therefore 38mm is tip-top. 👍
    The flieger must be big, it is a nature of the kind.
    The Alpina is too big IMHO to your wrist.

    • @watchyawant
      @watchyawant  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for commenting! You might be right and I could be somewhat biased toward 40+. After trying on 37s, though, I still believe 38 is the smallest diameter I can pull off and you’re right, the Sugess has definitive vintage vibes I believe I completed with the milanese.

  • @jonboy8181
    @jonboy8181 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I don’t think the 38mm chrono is too small at all for you. It’s a retro looking watch which might look weird oversized. 38mm was a very big watch back in the day!

    • @watchyawant
      @watchyawant  ปีที่แล้ว

      You might be right, I just wish I could try the 40 mm on, but, with the benefit of being able to find and buy things from a different corner of the world, the internet comes with the inconvenience of having to buy based solely on reviews.

    Such a solid collection. I love the helm komodo and am on a long waitlist. I got small 6.2 inch arms and i dont know if i can pull that off but maybe i will. I hope to some day have a one watch collection and i hope to get a seiko speedtimer the new model 911.
    This will be the watch for me. I might as well start saving for that one watch but i dont know. We as watch collectors just love the watches for one reason or the other.

    • @watchyawant
      @watchyawant  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! I, too, am on the waitlists for all of Helm’s models and I believe my top seeding is 1800 and change on the Vanuatu Titanium. Maybe in this lifetime. Just maybe… 😂

      Thank you! I believe, out of respect for the viewer, at least a minimum amount of editing should be a priority for the reviewer. Too many videos show some guy trying to cut open some fedex anvelope while trying to find the words to express their thoughts. Videos should be informative, not a waste of the viewer’s time.

    Should you have bought a new quartz Seamaster instead? No. Should you spend less than 500€ in future? Also no, as you have collected plenty of fine budget watches. Quality over quantity moving forward.

    • @watchyawant
      @watchyawant  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for the insight! I agree quality is more important than quantity. I, however, believe there’s quality to be found in the under 500€ market and that’s the main reason I started this channel. I tell you what, though: with my 50th birthday next year, I’ve started taking a good look at a couple of grails.
