I've been to Weir & Sons and they are incredible and kind people. I told them that I couldn't afford any of their stuff and was there just to check the collections and that I've heard of their store. They were kind enough to show me a few very nice watches and I got to talk to them about their history for a few mins.
Same here, just visited Dublin early November and tried on some watches in their store. Very impressive watch brands from affordable all the way to the Holy Trinity (but no Rolex available just like everywhere else LOL), friendly and helpful staff, and great lighting for observing watches on wrist. Always a busy store, witnessed many purchases during my two weeks there.
Was in Weirs' and Sons only 2 weeks ago and I spent an age looking at the Tudors on sale and the guy I was speaking with was really friendly, passionately interested in watches and really helpful. He let me try on whatever I wanted (even the grand seiko's that were wayyy out of my budget). Fantastic store, old world charm. HUGELY recommended.
Shops like that are the best. I remember being a kid maybe 18 or 19 walking into my local dealer in shorts and t shirt and just floored when they let me try stuff on. Now that's where I go when I'm shopping for a new piece
@@BillyMillion Was there looking at the Tudor blackbay 41mm but they didn't have the version I was after (79230R), in fact no dealers in Ireland had that version. So I purchased a Straum Opphav Damascus instead (to scratch my itch) and put my name on the list for the new stock when it arrives in later this year :)
The green aquanaut strap went for megabucks because people were putting them on the steel watch as well and there was a rumour that they were discontinuing it. On John Mayers 2nd appearance on talking watches he mentions it, because he was sitting on 2 uncut ones.
waking up to a new nico leonard video on a sunday morning? idk what could be better! thank nico again for making the watch world a better place and teaching us so much!
To be really nerdy, the green dial day-date has Indo-Arabic numerals, Arabic numerals being the ones the rest of us use every day. Norn Irish boy here, been living in the Middle East for 12 years and I’ve only recently found what those numerals are called, so I feel the need to share that knowledge 😂 Love the channel btw - Nico, you’re an absolute legend!
Just watched your interview with CEOCAST and honestly gotta give you props for your hard work and dedication to push through all the struggles life had to throw at you in order for you to become successful. You stated you never saw yourself as becoming an inspiration but you 100% are and you deserve all the respect and success you have and will continue to have in future. Respect.
You know it’s serious when you have to be invited to buy a watch and when your invited it’s an unspoken rule you don’t say no. The people who were invited will never sell them it’s not about the money it’s about appreciating the masterpiece and artwork of the watch.
I love the 26331 AP Panda's your wearing Nico! One of the biggest fan of your channel, thanks as well for sharing every video where we get to learn more new heights about watches. Keep sharing more of it, we loved your videos here in the Philippines.👌👌👌
He probably makes 8 million in a year from just one project. If you can drop 1.5 million on a watch, I dont know if 8 million is as alluring. Maybe it is, but I dunno.
⚠️I’m sure his watch knowledge is fantastic, but as a jeweler, I can tell you setting stones in platinum as far easier than white gold because platinum is actually softer it is just denser
When this came out it reminded me of why i liked watches. Owning watches are fun. Then i got caught up in the arguments(which has its pluses and minuses) i came away thinking it is a good thing. More people wearing a watch. I can appreciate the "cheaping of the brand' argument. I can understand is this worth the cost argument as well. Would have buy one in the open market no. Would i wear one if someone gave me one. Heck yeah. I think it is positive. Its gotten people talking about watches. Nothing wrong with that. If you will paying to pay for it good on you.
Nico will understand waking up between 2-4 am here in the next year with being a new dad. That's my alone time! Jeez... Making myself feel old as shit...
The best episodes of this series is when you see a Seiko 5 on the wrist of some super star and that star says some incredible story behind it. At this point I'm not impressed nor surprised someone has an AP or a Patek made from the tips of nipples of Asian mountain goats or whatever :P
@@issamelarmi have you read quran bro? every surah and page have this numeral. the whole arabs countries are sharing the same numeral symbol....arabs...persian...is same.... difference is only pronunciation.
"Watching" a ton of your videos as of late and man, there's a bunch of beautiful watches. I'm not really a watch wearer but yeah, I'd love to have one.
People buy the extra green strap because to wear the watch, you have to cut the rubber -- so a completionist collector might want to have an uncut strap in the collection as well.
6-2 is insane! I go to bed at 2 or 3 am and am awake before the sun. Averaging about 4 hours of sleep tops per night. I have been doing this for over 20 years. Cannot imagine 8 hours and going to sleep before the sun.
Yea I grew up around the corner from Mark he is definitely Irish. Dorchester where he’s from in Boston is literally half black and Irish, or it as when he was a kid. Dorchester is essentially the Brooklyn of Boston, it’s the biggest neighborhood and also the most dangerous. But you can legit be in the slums and drive a mile up the road near the Bay and there’s multi million dollar houses. Gentrification has changed things but Marky Mark ain’t a rich kid that pretends to be from Boston like Affleck and to a lesser extent Damon. Affleck grew up in a silver spoon household in Cambridge, essentially the Long Island of Boston class wise
Can you make a list starting with a watch you would start with like the Casio then what to get next as you constantly upgrade? Like what comes after the Casio.
9:24 the 9 on that watch where it list prime numbers, it looks like the 9 is upside down 😂because the curve in the 9 is up top unless it was made to look like that idk it just caught my eye
To be sure to be sure Marky Mark leans heavily on his Irish heritage. I probably would have too, with a surname like Flynn. But Walbergh is about 99.9968% German according to my guesstimate. I'm sure he can make it work for his family, and make it positive for Wahlbergland. He's a cool guy. Wasn't a fan of the funky bunch, but I accepted ranger panties for amusement stake.
I just got my first Rolex..deep sea James Cameron,paid well over the odds for a new one ( flipped )so that goes with my omega planet ocean,my brietling ( in for service) and my tag aqua racer ..ok it’s not hundreds of thousands but I love em all…especially my new Rolex.
Hi niko, my first watch which I bought from my cousin and Emmem in In the netherlands is a HEUER i still love it. I have a twenty 03 submariner which has just beenand polished by Rolex in Australia. I might hit you up and see if you wanna buy it.
1:34, I thought you said those should not be called Arabic numerals since the “Arabic” numerals are our regular 123… In a previous video you said those are the lHindu” numerals. I can’t recall exactly
Only 9.7% of the USA has Irish ancestry 😂 and also when someone says they are 11% Irish or whatever it’s probably because USA is a melting pot and there parents were Scottish or welsh or British or somewhere in Europe 😂
My G-Shock 2100 works just fiiiine. If I become a rich (now I'm a middle class owning an apartment in Melbourne CBD) I'll never buy a watch more than a grand. It's just damn stupid.

Listen, Nico you need to make a part 2 of Conor McGregor''s watch collection. The first one didn't do him justice.
Nah
Yes pleaseeee
Second that mate... come on nico get it done.
Yessss😊
And more rappers and fakes plssss

Happy to see Cartman grow up and find a meaningful job
Lol dude
waking up to a new nico leonard video on a sunday morning? idk what could be better! thank nico again for making the watch world a better place and teaching us so much!
Surely, we get a legit sit down and watch collection discussion with Mark
The fact that Nico said Namibia correctly first time says alot. Proud Namibian watching your channel🇳🇦❤️

bruh i never knew that lmao
@@llif3sharaf As they say, every day’s a school day 😁
Pretty sure Leo knows this. It's just easier to say arabic Numerals. Than to go into details
The blue dial Patek minute repeater is spectacular!
Loved this. Really entertaining. Equally impressed by Mark W’s watches (and work ethic) as your knowledge and passion of them.
Just watched your interview with CEOCAST and honestly gotta give you props for your hard work and dedication to push through all the struggles life had to throw at you in order for you to become successful.
You stated you never saw yourself as becoming an inspiration but you 100% are and you deserve all the respect and success you have and will continue to have in future.

I would love videos on special watches like the Skymoon,the Grandmaster Chime, vacheron constantine's les cabinotiers and so on!
Nico you’re a fucking legend

Rolex makes 1,000,000 watches a year and sells four of them
No they sell all million just not to peasants like you
This is the best collection ive Ever seen, beatiful and rare watches with a great variety of brands and styles.
You know what would be nice to see in the videos…. The retail price of each watch and then the current value
If you bought a watch at $1.5mil and now it worth $8mil and still not selling it. You have my respect.
That’s because Patek will blacklist you if you sell it
He probably makes 8 million in a year from just one project. If you can drop 1.5 million on a watch, I dont know if 8 million is as alluring. Maybe it is, but I dunno.
If I had that kind of money I wouldn't be in the comment section
5:41 Who did I just witness there?
⚠️I’m sure his watch knowledge is fantastic, but as a jeweler, I can tell you setting stones in platinum as far easier than white gold because platinum is actually softer it is just denser
Lmao nico talking about dinner starting at 6 but there’s me just starting cooking at 10 pm
Mark is such a cool guy
Unless your Vietnamese

Have a 2005 panerai op 6567 , is it worth anything ? Is it a good watch? Got it as a handmedown
Nico will understand waking up between 2-4 am here in the next year with being a new dad. That's my alone time! Jeez... Making myself feel old as shit...
How about a video on the best car branded watches? I saw a Lamborghini Aventador S and a Ford GT watchs that I was wondering about.

Those are not Arabic numerals those are Persian Numerals.
The arabic ones are those everyone uses : 1 2 3 4...
Semantics my guy ....
Those are Arabic numeral...even the days is Al-Ahad.. means Sunday...
@@afokabest brother you should look it up. and I am talking about the numerals, not the days written in arabic (which i do read and speak btw)
@@issamelarmi have you read quran bro? every surah and page have this numeral. the whole arabs countries are sharing the same numeral symbol....arabs...persian...is same.... difference is only pronunciation.
Loving the blown up photos of watches in question thank you editor's
The rose gold aquanaut looks so good!
and he never iced them out
respect+
That sky moon Patek is ridiculous. Beautiful
Imagine having 15mill, sounds nice
That was some piece of 'shade' thrown at Lunn's in Belfast. (Patek AD in Belfast)
In my opinion the nicest meteorite dial to this day is the speedy soyuz because of the color contrast between dial and subdials.
"Watching" a ton of your videos as of late and man, there's a bunch of beautiful watches. I'm not really a watch wearer but yeah, I'd love to have one.
We need one for Sylvester Stallone, I’ve seen some crazy pieces on him!!
Bernard Arnault owns a Tiffany blue Patek Philippe Nautilus perpetual 5740...I believe it's a unique piece... Can't imagine the price on that one🥵
Matt Farrah said his dad couldn't the Tiffany Patek and he was literally the CEO of Tiffany.
That last one is nuts. I’d def watch a video on it! Thing is crazy.
People buy the extra green strap because to wear the watch, you have to cut the rubber -- so a completionist collector might want to have an uncut strap in the collection as well.
This guy would be perfect for the role of penguin the enemy of Batman
Wonder if the man who lost his eye after Walhberg attacked him enjoys his collection.
The way he said “Melbourne”😂

Hey Nico! Where do you get your black T-shirts?
6 o clock is dinner time i don't get food till 11
Gotto say that i like the Arabic numerals on that Rolex very organic compared to the normal dial.
Yea I grew up around the corner from Mark he is definitely Irish. Dorchester where he’s from in Boston is literally half black and Irish, or it as when he was a kid.

Sunday Nico session… thank you sir 🎩
Hey Nico you can be from the USA, but your ethnicity is Irish (or French, or Italian, etc). So American is a nationality, and Irish is an ethnicity!
What’s a good cheap watch with a blue dial, and likely stainless; as I cannot afford white gold
Nico should make watch reviews to simplify complicated watches in his own way
He is one of my fav actor . One of the OG
Not everyone in America is Irish, I’m German Scottish and English… however it is true that everyone in Boston is Irish ☘️
"It's cool, but it's no Hublot" LOLLL Nico gunna kill his editor
Can you make a list starting with a watch you would start with like the Casio then what to get next as you constantly upgrade? Like what comes after the Casio.
9:24 the 9 on that watch where it list prime numbers, it looks like the 9 is upside down 😂because the curve in the 9 is up top unless it was made to look like that idk it just caught my eye
You can tell Nico was kicking himself not flipping $90k into 1.4 million on that green patek lol

You’re THEE most entertaining watch expert on TH-cam ( from a fellow ( sort of) Norn Iron man !!! Love the channel !!
That cathedral chime Patek minute repeater has to be my favorite
I just got my first Rolex..deep sea James Cameron,paid well over the odds for a new one ( flipped )so that goes with my omega planet ocean,my brietling ( in for service) and my tag aqua racer ..ok it’s not hundreds of thousands but I love em all…especially my new Rolex.
Bruh! Good content Nico my chico! Lezz go!🔥🔥🔥
Nicole O’Nard really knows her stuff about watches. Fair play.
Man he loves his green doesn't he? Even his Jordan 4 collab were green. And they're dope as F. Expensive too.
Oh no! Not the water pic with Diddy 😭
Nico do a video running about Belfast looking at peoples watches. Most likely a bunch of tags like but worth the craic
Guys, the year is coming to an end and I've watched a lot of Nico's reactions. Can you tell me how many times Nico has said the words Incredible?
That Patek Minute Repeater 🔥
2:18, I legit ran into 8 of them today and 3 of them had the baguette diamond bezel 😂
What's the significance of that "ROYAL" emblem on the green dial day date? Just a watermark on the image or is that part of the dial?
Tom Brady’s watch collection Nico!!!
The editors on point again, hilarious
Anyone noticed the moaning in 2:38😭😭😭🤣, just me?
My favourite part of the video... that plain black T shirt. Looks good quality. Where from please ?
What do you think about the Hublot time clock being at the World Cup?
Gold bezel and black strap would be insane on the green dial patel
I'm German, Irish, Norwegian, and Swiss.
Time to make a new watch Nico! Sacred geometry perfection, all white with white strap and glowing in the dark, waterproof etcetera!
4:13 I can’t believe you missed he has his Claddagh a ring on backwards, he’s been married for like 20 years.

Do Zlatan & football watchcollection
Danish tulips
Nico u should do TMJ prince of Johor he would 100% shock you
I just found your channel and love your content! What is your thoughts about Ingersoll?
11:45 😂😂😂 big flex!! Haha
ya would get that stole in belfast before you even got to check the time
BRB gonna try to beat Nico to asking Mark if he'll adopt me.
Dude is 5’8”. I’m surprised he doesn’t have a $30 million watch collection.
I recently could have got a day date platinum blue dial with factory diamonds at the markers for $37k. I think I messed up not getting it
