Your wife is actually not too wrong and she might be the logical voice of reason we all need! It was her remarks about the Seiko GMT that was so spot on, their bracelets really do let down a lot of their watches.
1st off your seiko landmaster is the best watch of all time..." what the wife said" was one of the funniest ive heard! lol merry christmas to you and the family Russ!
My top 5 purchases of 2024: Squale Y1545 grey dial and bezel on bracelet, Squale 1521 black dial, blasted case on blasted mesh bracelet, my pre-owned Hamilton Ventura Elvis80 on bracelet, Seiko SPB155 “Baby Alpinist” and finally my two Erebus Ascents. Honourable mentions to Erebus Origin 38mm in hot pink dial with SS bezel insert and my Erebus Origin GMT, polar/pepsi variant ❤
Beautiful Russ - great fun! And great watches! My favourite of the year is the silver and blue Bulova Computron which I haven't understood and therefore not appreciated for so long. At around 180 £ it's the best retro-scifi watch out there imho with a great history to it. Cheers mate, I love you 💙
All cracking choices on the top ten (in my opinion). I think my favorite of the bunch is the Monta. Loved the comment from the Mrs. "Making me think of cigarettes" for the Vulcain. If it didn't before, I think about cigarettes now for that Vulcain. 🌞 Great job, as per normal.
I also owned the SLA071J1, the land master , number 7XX , such a bargain for a great watch , 8L35, insanely beautiful dial, very second hand is so well finished .
All great, Vertex amazing, Cricket outstanding and I need to get a Pogue I think. Thanks for a great year of watch fun MWC, you surpassed my 250 prediction way back in Jan 👊👍
Wow!! Fantastic collection Russell. I guess it’s an honorable mention, but I have to say I have Spitfire Envy!!! And I don’t think that one has any squid teeth!! 😝😅🤠
Always entertaining watching your reviews. great stuff. Ps Based on one of your videos, i ordered a SKMEI the homage to a Casio AE1200, what A brilliant buy, it used whilst swimming in the sea, in a swimming pool, in SAUNA and in the desert. i couldn't rate it enough.
Why does your wife's comments make perfect sense in my head lol Especially comparing the Vulcain to cigarettes. For some reason I know exactly what she means haha! The dial on the blue Seiko is serious! And I am now looking into that Momentum watch as well. Great stuff MWC!
Hey Russ - I have the Momentum Sea Quartz 30 and an M1 Splash in my collection. I’m still waiting to take delivery of the UDT which I purchased last month. Happy Xmas to you and ‘the wife’. 🎅🏻
Casio snuck another G-Shock in at the end of the year, the DW-5000R, almost an exact 1:1 of the original DW-5000C. I wish they’d listed the water resistance in meters like the original. Even the bezel is the older style unstepped. I snoozed when it first came out but then got a notification from the website and didn’t hesitate - a real screwback with the brick pattern. Looking forward to your review.
Great video mr mwc, transformers eyeball that’s brilliant, 😂 if it hasn’t got a nickname already you should name it Optimus. I really like that vertex since owning the m-hkr I see these nato strapped field watches in a whole new light, never interested me b4 now I love them. 👍🏻
I like both the Casios , though I’m one of the old farts with so so eyes 🥸, I’d probably go with the easy to read unit , although the Casiotron looks very cool😊. Of the analogue style I always prefer numbered easy to read dials , so your number one also looked super cool to me . I liked the zero west too , And the Vulcain Cricket with the see through back ….. super cool ! 😎
Hi MWC I would just like to say I think your give aways very generous pal looking forward to new reviews 2025 especially Seikos all the best to you and yours . Hoping for the Seiko blue berry I just love it👋🇬🇧
I confess I have to agree with your wife................................................................ on her verdict of the Vertex. It's the number one... that is also the number one on your list as well. A result!
Vertex, may as well be Smiths but Smith's are clearly cheaper. If we accept China made then may as well go with Baltany and put the rest of the money to better use. 🤔
You do you brother. I need more than the sum of its parts. I need a watch with a story, with a meaning for being made. Not just because there’s a gap in the market for making cheap dirty dozen lookalikes!! I love Smiths, they aren’t Swiss made nor I they made with the same materials and manufactured in the same place as Vertex watches. That is reflected in the price. Smiths now are very well made watches, I’d go for the closest one that resembles the Deville ! The watch that went up Mount Everest!;) or a W10!
hey man, at first I don't like your videos - you have waaay too much energy, feels like my brain on 4 shots of espresso, but you slowly grew into me as your videos kept popping up as youtube suggestions, and now when I watch other watch review channels they are so boring compared to yours. my wife also agree with your wife's opinions on watches so high five haha! keep up the good work bud!
Just looked at one I believe to be the same unit , it’s listed as Casio AE1500WH-1 I think if you change the last number in the model no. To 2 it gives you the blue colored variation . I hope that helps .
hi russ, great review & comments again! i’m also in love with Vertex, but feel the price is a little high. btw, i’d love to sell you my Seiko M516-4009 “Ghostbusters” Watch OR trade? happy to send you link. Ed
I've been using a Vostok Komandirskie GMT full lume wich is a blast for the 150€ I've paid for it. The bracelet is a pain, with to sharp edges but with a Nato or an aftermarket jubilee it is my main watch for the last month. Maybe you can get one for the new year, I'm sure it will make you smile.
How dare you come up with a 10 ten list of your favorite watches you reviewed on your channel?! Don’t you know how important I am?! 😅 Thanks for a great year of content. I don’t really do homages anymore, but if someone came out with a homage of that Casiotron… just sayin’…

That blue dial titanium Seiko is GORGEOUS
Meh, get the Seiko Miyota movement in blue Dial with the “San Martin” at even better price.
@tropicthndr I'd prefer the Seiko, though.
BUT WHAT MODEL IS THIS PLEASE? THANK YOU!

@@ff_00_00 Seiko LandMaster 30th Anniversary Limited SLA071J1. It's pricey, I warn ya.
I purchased the Vulcain skin diver earlier in the year, couldn't be happier with it
Your wife is undefeated 😂😂😂😂
A Transformers eyeball is hilarious 😂
Wishing Mr Pagani a merry xmas and a happy new year!
He does to!
I love this channel. Thank you for keeping me company this year :D

Totally agree. Love your channel. Mixing great knowledge and watch insight in a style that makes me smile! The best of a very good bunch!! 🫡
Have a great Xmas and new year - looking forward to your reviews in 2025 - thanks MWC ❤
I'm not familiar with the Vulcain, but after your exciting description, it feels like I've just been pushed down the rabbit hole of "get it now"!😮😂
Love the channel. Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year mate.

Interesting list. Might have to check some of these out next year.
Purchased way too many watches this year, but the Damasko D-Sub 50 was my winner.
Whats the model number for that Seiko, Russ? I love that dial!

Loved the Formex
The seiko gmt and speed timer are my favourites but that monta is an absolute stunner ! Merry Christmas fella

Good to see vertex, former and Monta. on the list.
The wife is a comedic genius. Unintentionally or not.
Great vid!! Loved it! and your wife is a legend 🎉
Brilliant!!!
Your wife is completely spot on , again!😂
"Fairground vibes" 🤣🤣🤣👍
All great, Vertex amazing, Cricket outstanding and I need to get a Pogue I think. Thanks for a great year of watch fun MWC, you surpassed my 250 prediction way back in Jan 👊👍
I was at work today and I could have swore I saw a guy much older than me wearing a Casiotron. You gotta see it to believe it!
God bless you and your wife 🙏🏻
Thank you my friend!
Wow!! Fantastic collection Russell. I guess it’s an honorable mention, but I have to say I have Spitfire Envy!!! And I don’t think that one has any squid teeth!! 😝😅🤠
Great video. I love that Vulcain diver. Wonderful vintage dial. But, yes, it is very flat and cigarettey. 😁
Love your channel but time to review Hanhart . Less mainstream but with the military heritage that you love .
All the best,
Chris Gilling .
I’ve tried to connect a couple of times my friend. Will try again next year

The Seiko SLA071 is a stunner! 👍👍
I have been wearing (and scratching up) the Casio TRN50-2A since it came out. It’s not the perfect watch but it wears very well.

What's the model number of the Seiko!?
Exactly my question.
GREAT CHRISTMASS Stay SAFE
Top lad! Thank you Ray! All the best to you and yours!
Also, have coming but won’t arrive til 2025, a Casiotron as well, picked it up for less than £375 on Aussie dollar equivalent ❤
Monta with the deceptively marketed Forrest Gump movement or a used Tudor…..that’s a tough one.
Still waiting for Vertex to release that stretchy bracelet for the 40mm
been some great watches this year russel of all price ranges ..my 2 favorites are the cricket and the vulcain skin diver
Your wife needs her own channel!! Brilliant
Just bought the Formex Reef bronze in 42mm.
Been eyeing up that Seiko Field GMT for a while now, found one for £329 so pulled the trigger :)
Good price!!
Being a big guy, I just wish Seiko made the SSK023 in a 42mm size (like a new Rolex Explorer 2)

Hello where did you buy ur watch poster on the wall?

I love your video style! I hope you can do a top ten
Love the wife's comments. Thank you
What is the model name of the Seiko with the blue dial? I hate it when presenters just show it and gatekeep the model name.
How about doing some graft of your own y’cheeky git? SLA*** I’ll leave you to work out the last 3 digits!
@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR thanks, I'll get on it.
Not enough reviews of Herbelin Newport. And watches from Charlie Paris. Hidden French gems
It’s amazing but I only the mechanical seiko’s look like they are worth buying
What's the name of the blue titanium Seiko 😁
The wife was spot on!
I think the blue Seiko is this: Seiko Prospex Landmaster 30th Anniversary Limited SLA071 SBDX059.
I got the grb300 this year it's a fantastic cheap mrgb1000🎉
