    Absolutely love the 1016, it’s so subtle and understated, yet gives everything needed to capture my attention.

    This is how all watch videos should be made on TH-cam. Bravo! Superb!

    Very enjoyable. Although, as a true watch hoarder I always panic at the thought of only having two watches 😂

    Loved the content. The 1016 is one of my grail watches. Bet they are both more reliable than a Defender😂

    Love this series Justin. Great callback about Mr. Porter making video content early on cause that’s what drew me to want to shop there.

    Fun episode, although I have issue with one or two watches being considered a 'collection' as the standard definition is "three or more curated items". FWIW, I was a one watch person for 30+ years, a Rolex 16750.
    I love the Hodinkee FF for it's 40mm case size, lack of a date and non-branded case. If I did not have a Submariner 114060, I would seriously be on the hunt for one.
    That being said, I also have a USMC 41mm Marathon GSAR automatic as my real dive watch. I was a Marine Corps Huey SAR pilot in the 1980s and dive trained in the Marines. Now, since Marathon is the USA, Canadian and Israeli official military/government issued dive watch, manufactured to those government's exacting specifications... it includes a date window at the 4-30!
    So, the militaries of the three countries seem to think that a date is required, and in the case of the USA, the GSAR watch is also used as a field watch where a date is a good idea.

    That blancpain is just the perfect dive watch. It’s got everything. The Rolex is nice for sure but that diver is truly special.

    Two watch collection is always an impossible challenge for a watch enthusiast. These days I think a G Shock has to be in the mix to provide cover for sea, travel and under the radar requirements. That leaves a watch for everyday, ideally steel with a date and a watch for smarter occasions, leather strap PM and complication.
    So my two plus Gshock would be:
    GA-B2100
    Royal Oak 37mm
    Patek annual calendar 5205G-013
    But ask me tomorrow and it will change.

    For me, a collection must have at least three watches. A "collection" is defined as "a group of things". A single watch is definitely not a group, two is debatable, for me it's a pair. If you have three or more, you can call it a collection. Callt it a two watch SELECTION.

    The zooming in and out is too much.
