I ride my own company. A small garage. My garage in my dreams: $1000 watch collection. My garage just before Corona virus: $500 watch collection. My garage during quarantine: $200 watch collection. My garage at the end of quarantine: what time is it, please?
Crazy how I own every watch in your 500$ collection. The only difference is that my p100 is quartz, but it was my first watch every so it holds a special place in my heart!
My 3 for £1000 (I own these, amongst others)... Chr. Ward C65 Diver (used,= £400) Tissot T-Touch 2 titanium (like a classier and easier to use G-shock =used, £200, readily available & a bargain ) & Sarb017 Alpinist (got a Khaki King, the Seiko is just better, paid £370 for mine). Good fun video, Cheers mate 👍🏻
I just ordered my Seagull 1963 from AliExpress, thanks Jody for the review! This will round out my collection which currently includes a Hamilton Khaki King and a Casio DW-5610. That should set me for a while, at least until I realize that I need...
Great video! My 3 piece collection right now is: - Steinhart O1 hulk, diver can't miss - Casio GW-B5600AR, digi solar radio beater - Pro Trek PRW60Y, outdoor watch + sensors A watch for any situation!
For me it would be an SKX, Alpinist (SARB017), and any square resin G Shock with bluetooth. Although I'm fortunate to own many more watches and would normally feel nauseous at the thought of reducing my collection to 3 watches, these three genuinely make me smile when I think of them as an entire collection. I wish I started my watch journey with these three!!
Every watch Yema makes is striking. I love the Superman GMT, personally. Here's a video idea: The Round-The-World Watch Collection. Pick a prototypical watch from each historic watch-making country. Japan, USA, France, Switzerland, England, Germany. Where did I miss?
My friend and I play this game. The last time $1000 limit it was Casio stainless steel G shock square, Orient Kamasu blue dial rubber strap (get a solid link strapcode later) and a Casio oceanus t200 Happy to see the video came through it was entertaining as usual Cheers!!!
I love your three piece collection! This is a favorite style of video for me. I loved a three piece collection for years, so I know what it’s like...NO FIN AT ALL!!! Great video as always Jody!
Top tip for bambino owners: A 20 mm perlon will widen over time and fill the lugs very nicely. Works great for the summer months here in the Deep South 👍🏼
3 pieces for me under $1000 I’d have to go with a Zelos Mako v3 (jeans and t shirt), Glycine Combat 6 Moonphase 36mm (dress), and a Seiko SNK803 for the field component. I do in fact own 2 out of the three as well (missing the Seiko) so my money is where my mouth is! Great video as always Jody; looking forward to the next one!
Jody I’d just like to point out they you missed the ultimate 3 piece collection 1. Vostok Amphibia scuba dude 2. Vostok Amphibia with tank 3. Vostok Amphibia with fighter jet and KGB logo
I have just ordered an Orient kamasu, in green/teal for my daily. I could only find it on amazon for 280 euro here in germany so i ordered it from England. Makes me so happy to see it featured here in the video, i cant wait to get hold of it. I think i will save up for a Tudor black bay now though.
Hey Jody, Another wonderful video. It's an interesting concept. I'm not sure my personal style would line up with your likes. But that's what makes collecting watches fun. I have lately been expanding my purchases into areas that I hadn't seen before.
Great video Jody! Fun to think about what brands are delivering the most value right now and offering up designs that balance form and function to cover a wide range of situations. Sticking just with things you have reviewed recently, here is a collection that comes in a bit over $750 USD, splitting the difference between 2 of your price categories. Shirt and tie - Vario Empire (I would choose the handwound movement). Jeans - Zelos Swordfish (I would choose the full lume dial). Overalls - basic G-Shock DW5600 (tough to beat it given the price point and intended purpose).
Hello Jody, I agree with you in some of your choosing.. my electios for de $1000 (which I personally have) are: A Citizen for the everyday use. From the Of Collection Urban01 (BM8476-23E) black dial and Eco-drive, you can forget about batteries... never stops, as long as it can get energy from any type of light. For the monday to friday office time, I choose the Orient Kamasu, love that green color of the dial. (and as you mentioned, has sapphire cristal, hack and hand wind and in-house movement) For the suit and tie occasions I have a Tissot, great value for the money and its a swiss caliber, one with the powermatic 80. The Tissot Luxury Powermatic 80 You notice that I haven't chosen any Casio or digital. I had a few in the past, (and very happy with the them) but now for that kind of time measurement i have the mobile phone, in my wrist I prefer the"dials with hands"
Since I don´t wear a suit too often and one statute is "no vintage", first list is of the watches I already own: 1) Seiko Alpinist (pre-prospex) 2) Orient Raven Ray II 3) Casio Royale (metal bracelet) Next step, watches I've yet to own, but still in the realm of the attainable : 1) Blue Alpinist (i know, I know, but still...) 2) Hamilton Khaki King or a Smiths Everest (daily driver) 3) Oris Big Crown Pointer (green dial, bronze case) No watch for manual labor.
If you've got the Alpinist, don't bother with the Khaki king. I've got both & the sarb 017 is in a different league...Excellent choices otherwise! Hope that saves you some money 😉Cheers mate 👍🏻
You $500 selection was my favorite! Love that tissot! I just recently got into watches and my first 3 watches I bought are the orient mako ii (with Pepsi dial), Seiko 5 snk805, and Casio dw5600.
beater - gshock 5610 (live in Europe, so automic clock) dress - Seiko Tank (around 100-150) - super classy, zero maintanence everyday - a citizen (really tough and a great price), preferably CA0641-16X or a Flieger style AW1620-21E
Here's my $1000 3 piece collection. Actually still own all of these. Shirt and tie watch: SARB033 $400 Shirt and jeans watch: Lorier Neptune $500 I bought the V2, which was $400. But the V3 seems to have refined most of the things I dislike about the V2 so I'm happy to put it here. Beater watch: Casio G5600E Solar $100 Overall a sensible, versatile collection pretty bang on $1000. The Neptune and the SARB can swap places as well. Helping to keep things fresh.
Hey Jody, I think your videos might have influenced my buying choices in the past.. My 3 piece collection that I put together in the past couple months : the Kamasu, the CasiOak and a timex marlin auto (the miyota one with the date) for the suit and tie. Thanks for your advice, I have no regrets so far. 👍🏻
My basic 3 will always be 1. casio protek solar: exercise, outdoors stuff 2. some variant of citizen eco-drive: everyday wear - set it and forget it/it always works 3. good automatic of your choice: for show/grins. Of course I'll pick something up now and then for fun.
Great vid and options! Yes, that $500 trilogy is mighty fine - I've been building one for my son over the years. In general, I think the 'lower' tier Swatch brands don't get much love, but Tissot (while sometimes a bit Swiss stogy in style) does offer a lot of watch for the money. Certainly when building women's collection (my wife and daughter), Tissot can be very good. Of course, I tend to favour the mighty Seiko (pre Prosper/Presage tacky sub-branding) and I've a Bambino small seconds on the way. While I do own luxury watch brands too, these value offerings do make you question what you pay for with the expensive brands. Often I see more design creativity and less vulgarity with Orient and Seiko than I do from AP and Patek!
My everyday watch currently is the Seiko SNK803 in standard strap, but i'll try NATO. In my requirements "everyday" pretty much merges with "beater", but i have the venerable Casio F-105 in readiness for more demanding uses. For dress occasions i may either class up my Seiko with a leather strap if i'm pragmatic enough or just get a simple gold tone quartz with a brown leather strap.
I put my order in for the Yema a few days ago, looks to be a very nice diver, interesting movement and a retro look. Can't wait to get it on wrist. With the discount it came to $635 USD with a leather band as well
Well, yes but no. I have a 3 pieces automatics collection, that i actually almost never wear because i'm a mechanic. So i have another 5 pieces G-Shocks for that, but i don't want to ruin them, so i actually just wear to work that one beater G-Shock, and sometimes a Casio SKX... Yeah..
Wow Yema! That’s on my radar now 😁 I’m an Ironman fan as well and also like Vostok & Glycine as a great option to add excellent economical value to a Three Watch collection 💪🏼💫
Nice Die Antwoord T shirt. You really need to do a "State of the Collection" only with your T-shirts. I look forward to them as much as the watches. 3 piece combo: 1. Casio Compass Twin sensor SGW-100-1V $54US for hiking or roadtrips. 2. Seiko Rose Gold Solar Chronograph SSC566 $230US for dress watch. 3. Orient RayII Blue Dial AA02005D $169US for pretending you can swim. Alternate fancy watch: 2b. Orient Monarch FDD03001W0 $165US for those who really like manual wind watches that look way retro. It's hard to pick only 3...... which is the problem...
God forbid a 3 piece pear down from my collection... here goes! Beater/Pool Watch- Casio Royale metal bracelet version. Weekend Watch - Seiko SKX009j1 Weekday Watch - Orient Maestro (Poor mans Nomos Orion) Yes I’m a Japanese Watch fan! LoL 😆
my perfect three: 1. Doxa jumbo (1957, NOS) - 200 EUr as dreswatch. 2. Belison automatic calendar de luxe (1970, NOS) - 100 EUr for jeans. 3. Casio ae1000w (red, grid modded and hydro modded) for outdoor activities, 30 Eur. Of course, I have another eight watches just in case..:)
Love These! Eagerly looking forward to more sub-$100 Chinese homage watches. Of course now the ship time from overseas is two months if at all. Still waiting on shipments from April. I love your "...more for your money than with the Seiko". That's like pointing out water is wet.
An Orient Bambino is super attractive as a gift for my little nephew because Bambino happens to be the pet name that my twin brother calls him. I think it will make a good graduation gift to get him his first big boy watch.
Great job, can’t believe the Yema would put “patent pending” mind boggling!? Mine..... 1. Seiko Monster gen 4, 2. Citizen eco drive, 3. Seiko snkl23 (leather strap) Boom 👌🏻
I have a G-SHOCK DW5600NASA20-7CR coming my way. Bit of an expensive import from overseas, but collectible, limited edition and personally I just really love it. I have the same Casioak as you went for as well (the one you can actually tell time on) as well as a bunch of other Casio stuff. At the end of the day I'm a sucker for Tough Solar and synced time. That started with Lineage at first and then ProTrek PRW-6000SC-7D as well as the GST-B100D. Don't have that many automatic movement watches yet. The Pagani Explorer was a little bit of a gateway drug there... now I'm lusting after a Tudor Black Bay Fifty Eight...
My SOTC at the moment is around 500$. Outdoors/Field/Beater is Casioak, but in military green color, for 100$. My suit and tie watch is beautiful cream dial, blue hands Orient Envoy, similar to Bambino, just more expensive, and it is shy bellow 200$. And for everyday I wear Citizen Eco-Drive Chronograph, which was also around 200$. Yes, I only have 3 watches. Recently I decided to shrink my possessions, and from 7 watches I went to only 3.
I am 3 watch guy. My collection is: Citizen promaster ny-0040 as my main watch, Omikron small seconds from 60's as a dress watch and Casio Royale for cycling and getting drunk in beer gardens 😀
I have a few of the ones you mentioned but definitely like to see watches I haven't seen at all yet. Great video as always! Debating between Kamasu or Phoibos or San Martin for my next watch. Due to your videos Helm Vanuatu is almost here!! Got the notification that it's being shipped soon.
Some great choices in there - I bought a Bambino for my oldest son a few years ago - he loves it as an everyday alternative to his vintage Omega. I've owned several Seikos over the years, but never really understood the 'love' they get. Decent enough watches, but really just commodities to me and they are stretching the prices into territory where there are more interesting alternatives..... I think Vaer watches can fulfil a fair bit of your 'three watch' brief too.
My personal choice i already have: 1. Undone Basecamp 2.Lorier Hydra 3.spinnaker Fleuss But these are everyday watches. I also have as daily wearer a Bambino. My main collection is normally all Vintagewatches. I am a Vintagecollector for many Years. But these are only for freetime use or specials occasions.
My budget 3 watch collection : 1. Divers watch : Orient Rayll black dial. 2. Every day watch : Seiko Sarb017 Alpinist. 3. Race watch : Dan Henry 1962 panda dial. (Additional) beaters watch : Casio Ga2100(Casioak). Love my collection so far. Next target would be an Omega Aqua Terra!
I suspect there’ll be as many choices of “categories” as there are of watches. My three would be 1. Beach; 2. Dinner out; and 3. Motorsport. Diver, Dress and Chronograph
My current holy trinity is the Bulova Lunar Pilot, Alpina Alpiner 4, and Oris Aquis Lake Baikal. Got the Bulova and Alpina already, saving/hustling/flipping up to the Oris. Then I can get bored of those three and start all over again 😁
Gutted i didn't pull the trigger on the Direnzo during the KS (funds were a tad tight) .. will regret it for life & the more i see the Hamilton the more i like it considering i'm not that keen on arabics .A great selection all round chap 👍
Funny thing. I am myself at bigger part heavy metal-jazz-old rock-prog rock guy but with a soft spot to good/the one I enjoy music in general. But despite Die Antwoord are far from my taste I still enjoy their stuff. There is a lot of crazy punk rock DNA in what they do. You find them stupid, crazy, freaky, interesting and finally enjoyable. Good stuff.
Well what a day. Took me all day to get to watch this video and as always, brilliant!! By the state of my collection thus far 3 watches is not enough but I'll play along cause I am yet to get these 3 watches. I would be getting 1: The red dial Kamasu (Love at first sight. It's on my list for this year) 2: The Tissot is so very tempting but the SARB033 gets the nod (I don't know how but I gotta swing it) 3: The DW5600 (Good enough G-Shock for me. However you have me looking at that Ironman)will round out the collection for me. What you guys think
I just paid $270.00 for a red Orient Kamasu.......but I am happy with paying that price for my 2nd Kamasu (I also have a blue one)..........great watch, great value.
A great video as always Jody. Thanks so much for making lockdown in the UK bearable. Some lovely left field choices. My £1000 selection (for what it’s worth) Casi-oak as the beater (£100), Stratton Speciale Quartz (in that gorgeous light metallic brown at £450) and then a Seiko mini turtle (£325ish). At least, that’s today’s choice ;)
Great video! My ultimate 3 piece collection is: 1. Orient Bambino gen 2 v3 white dial 2. Orient Ray II black dial 3. Orient Defender grey dial What can i say .. I love Orient ;) Pls make more videos i'm a big fen of the chanel. :)
Some great choices there Jody. I think a three watch collection is definitely a good idea. Dress, diver or field and chrono or digital and you're golden. I however am a bit greedy 😂, but three watches could certainly make for a perfect balance for work and play. I have to say my favourite you chose was surprisingly the Yema, been seeing some great pieces coming from them lately and they're a very intriguing watchmaker. Will you be reviewing any from them in the near future? Anyways thanks for the video and have a good one.
1. Beater:Casio Royale ((Round Dial) 2. Raven Solitude Diver (NH35, range of colours, unbeatable quality) 3. Vostok Amphibia Scuba Dude Blue-green dial on a leather strap (fits under a collar, beautiful, versatile...hey it's my collection & I hate dress watches tbh)
Excellent stuff Jody, stand outs there are the Yema and the Direnzo. Always been focused on the motorsport Yema’s but the Navygraf looks fabulous. As for Direnzo the new diver is really lovely but I’m still drawn the first model they released. Seems they have something lacking in other brands, design and vision. Only negative was the Hammy really, just never liked it much. Great video though, loved it. 😍
Love all of the choices, a couple of which I'd never heard of before. I've been on a Casio kick of late (damn you, Jody!) so the MDV100 may just have to be my next purchase. I've actually never paid more than ~$200 + shipping for any single watch, but I'm VERY intrigued by both the Direnzo and Yema.
My 3 perfect piece combo would be a 200.... Citizen ecodrive titanium bm 7360 82m versatile, can be dressy and robust solar movement, 500... Hamilton Khaki manual wind ,serious charm field watch whichever model, 1000 ... Mido Oceanstar tribute .. superbly finished automatic diver with a cracking movement and 80 hour powerreserve.
That Yolandi shirt tho
I had Jody down as more a Dire Straits man....😬

Crazy how I own every watch in your 500$ collection. The only difference is that my p100 is quartz, but it was my first watch every so it holds a special place in my heart!
Hello from Atlanta! I took your advice and purchased a Tissell. What an amazing homage! Great bracelet, beautiful dial and very accuracy! Thanks!

My 3 for £1000 (I own these, amongst others)... Chr. Ward C65 Diver (used,= £400) Tissot T-Touch 2 titanium (like a classier and easier to use G-shock =used, £200, readily available & a bargain ) & Sarb017 Alpinist (got a Khaki King, the Seiko is just better, paid £370 for mine).

Great video!
My 3 piece collection right now is:
- Steinhart O1 hulk, diver can't miss
- Casio GW-B5600AR, digi solar radio beater
- Pro Trek PRW60Y, outdoor watch + sensors
A watch for any situation!
For me it would be an SKX, Alpinist (SARB017), and any square resin G Shock with bluetooth.

My fave 3 watch collection, Skx007, seiko 5 Snkl41 (on a jubilee), and a casio 5600-1V. Does it all!
Nice video and you can see it was more work than the usual thank you. Love the Direnzo.

The sinn itself will be out of budget 😭😭😭😭
That’s really a great list. I was going to pull the trigger on the Flieger but the water resistant is so low.
Steven you know the flieger isn’t a dive watch, it’s not suppose to have a high WR
Stowa Sports are flieger with screw crown and 200m water resist.
I can't imagine limiting myself to only 3 watches. Where's the fun in that?
That red dialed Direnzo 😍😍😍
there will always be that moment of 'just one more watch'.........:)
I put my order in for the Yema a few days ago, looks to be a very nice diver, interesting movement and a retro look. Can't wait to get it on wrist.
God forbid a 3 piece pear down from my collection... here goes!
Beater/Pool Watch- Casio Royale metal bracelet version.
Weekend Watch - Seiko SKX009j1
Weekday Watch - Orient Maestro (Poor mans Nomos Orion)
Yes I’m a Japanese Watch fan! LoL 😆
my perfect three: 1. Doxa jumbo (1957, NOS) - 200 EUr as dreswatch. 2. Belison automatic calendar de luxe (1970, NOS) - 100 EUr for jeans. 3. Casio ae1000w (red, grid modded and hydro modded) for outdoor activities, 30 Eur. Of course, I have another eight watches just in case..:)
Love These! Eagerly looking forward to more sub-$100 Chinese homage watches. Of course now the ship time from overseas is two months if at all. Still waiting on shipments from April. I love your "...more for your money than with the Seiko". That's like pointing out water is wet.
An Orient Bambino is super attractive as a gift for my little nephew because Bambino happens to be the pet name that my twin brother calls him. I think it will make a good graduation gift to get him his first big boy watch.
Great video! And good choices! But don't forget the new Orient Bambino 5s coming in at 36mm, perfect for the smaller wrists!
Your upload game is strong recently! Love it
Great job, can’t believe the Yema would put “patent pending” mind boggling!? Mine..... 1. Seiko Monster gen 4, 2. Citizen eco drive, 3. Seiko snkl23 (leather strap) Boom 👌🏻
Yeah, wth? Patent pending? Can't wait.🙄
Man I do love that yema. Was absolutely not expecting that in the 1000 dollar tier but I think it's a perfect choice.
I have a G-SHOCK DW5600NASA20-7CR coming my way. Bit of an expensive import from overseas, but collectible, limited edition and personally I just really love it.
I have the same Casioak as you went for as well (the one you can actually tell time on) as well as a bunch of other Casio stuff.
At the end of the day I'm a sucker for Tough Solar and synced time. That started with Lineage at first and then ProTrek PRW-6000SC-7D as well as the GST-B100D.
Don't have that many automatic movement watches yet. The Pagani Explorer was a little bit of a gateway drug there... now I'm lusting after a Tudor Black Bay Fifty Eight...
My SOTC at the moment is around 500$. Outdoors/Field/Beater is Casioak, but in military green color, for 100$. My suit and tie watch is beautiful cream dial, blue hands Orient Envoy, similar to Bambino, just more expensive, and it is shy bellow 200$. And for everyday I wear Citizen Eco-Drive Chronograph, which was also around 200$. Yes, I only have 3 watches. Recently I decided to shrink my possessions, and from 7 watches I went to only 3.
I am 3 watch guy. My collection is: Citizen promaster ny-0040 as my main watch, Omikron small seconds from 60's as a dress watch and Casio Royale for cycling and getting drunk in beer gardens 😀
I have a few of the ones you mentioned but definitely like to see watches I haven't seen at all yet. Great video as always! Debating between Kamasu or Phoibos or San Martin for my next watch.
Due to your videos Helm Vanuatu is almost here!! Got the notification that it's being shipped soon.
1. Seiko 5 - random nice classy model
2. Invicta 8926OB - for fun
3. Casio FW-91 - a 90s classic.
i love the timex ironman classic 30 for my daily beater. for everyday watch i suggest tissot gentleman Quartz
I'de say..
Helm vanuatu
Orient bambino
G-shock dw-5600bb-1
Cheers Jodi thanks for all the videos you've been uploading
The DRZ 03 Eclipse is a grail piece for me , it's absolutely stunning!!
Some great choices in there - I bought a Bambino for my oldest son a few years ago - he loves it as an everyday alternative to his vintage Omega. I've owned several Seikos over the years, but never really understood the 'love' they get. Decent enough watches, but really just commodities to me and they are stretching the prices into territory where there are more interesting alternatives..... I think Vaer watches can fulfil a fair bit of your 'three watch' brief too.
My personal choice i already have:
1. Undone Basecamp
2.Lorier Hydra
3.spinnaker Fleuss
But these are everyday watches. I also have as daily wearer a Bambino. My main collection is normally all Vintagewatches. I am a Vintagecollector for many Years. But these are only for freetime use or specials occasions.
My budget 3 watch collection : 1. Divers watch : Orient Rayll black dial. 2. Every day watch : Seiko Sarb017 Alpinist. 3. Race watch : Dan Henry 1962 panda dial. (Additional) beaters watch : Casio Ga2100(Casioak). Love my collection so far. Next target would be an Omega Aqua Terra!
I suspect there’ll be as many choices of “categories” as there are of watches. My three would be 1. Beach; 2. Dinner out; and 3. Motorsport. Diver, Dress and Chronograph
My current holy trinity is the Bulova Lunar Pilot, Alpina Alpiner 4, and Oris Aquis Lake Baikal. Got the Bulova and Alpina already, saving/hustling/flipping up to the Oris.
Then I can get bored of those three and start all over again 😁
Gutted i didn't pull the trigger on the Direnzo during the KS (funds were a tad tight) .. will regret it for life & the more i see the Hamilton the more i like it considering i'm not that keen on arabics .A great selection all round chap 👍
I'd be lying if I didn't admit to two things:
- Having "a thing" for Yolandi *wink* and
- Enjoying yet another great review from Jody :)
Jody punching above his weight class with that Yolandi t-shirt. nicely done, mate.
Jody do a Q&A pls
Funny thing. I am myself at bigger part heavy metal-jazz-old rock-prog rock guy but with a soft spot to good/the one I enjoy music in general. But despite Die Antwoord are far from my taste I still enjoy their stuff. There is a lot of crazy punk rock DNA in what they do. You find them stupid, crazy, freaky, interesting and finally enjoyable. Good stuff.
Well what a day. Took me all day to get to watch this video and as always, brilliant!!
By the state of my collection thus far 3 watches is not enough but I'll play along cause I am yet to get these 3 watches.
I would be getting
1: The red dial Kamasu (Love at first sight. It's on my list for this year)
2: The Tissot is so very tempting but the SARB033 gets the nod (I don't know how but I gotta swing it)
3: The DW5600 (Good enough G-Shock for me. However you have me looking at that Ironman)will round out the collection for me.
What you guys think
I had a strong giggle going during the whole CasioOak portion. Great video as usual Jody!
these value rundowns are some of my favorite videos of yours! great one dude 🤙
Best shirt yet, I love it! Yolandi is “the answer!”
Fun video ! Thanks, the Direnzo was a great surprise as a choice .
HELP! I only have $17.8 million to spend! Do I buy Paul Newman's Paul Newman Daytona or 356,000 Bagelsports?
lol a person with 17 m wont asks stupid questions
@@arielleHT you’d be surprised
Great video! For me it would be: casio a168, sarb033 and a 36mm bambino (true dress watch size IMHO), and it would just be a bit over 500!
My current:
Citizen Promaster
Seiko SRPB43 (Cocktail time)
Casio DW5600
All Japanese, and from different brands!
I just paid $270.00 for a red Orient Kamasu.......but I am happy with paying that price for my 2nd Kamasu (I also have a blue one)..........great watch, great value.
A great video as always Jody. Thanks so much for making lockdown in the UK bearable. Some lovely left field choices. My £1000 selection (for what it’s worth) Casi-oak as the beater (£100), Stratton Speciale Quartz (in that gorgeous light metallic brown at £450) and then a Seiko mini turtle (£325ish). At least, that’s today’s choice ;)
Great video! My ultimate 3 piece collection is:
1. Orient Bambino gen 2 v3 white dial
2. Orient Ray II black dial
3. Orient Defender grey dial
What can i say .. I love Orient ;)
Pls make more videos i'm a big fen of the chanel. :)
Some great choices there Jody. I think a three watch collection is definitely a good idea. Dress, diver or field and chrono or digital and you're golden. I however am a bit greedy 😂, but three watches could certainly make for a perfect balance for work and play. I have to say my favourite you chose was surprisingly the Yema, been seeing some great pieces coming from them lately and they're a very intriguing watchmaker. Will you be reviewing any from them in the near future? Anyways thanks for the video and have a good one.
completely agree with you about Yema. In my three x 1000 list I included the Superman Armee de l'Air in quartz, only $ 500.00 with steel bracelet
@@oscargustavoarcosruiz8793 that's a stunner, I'm a big fan of the superman.
1. Beater:Casio Royale ((Round Dial)
2. Raven Solitude Diver (NH35, range of colours, unbeatable quality)
3. Vostok Amphibia Scuba Dude Blue-green dial on a leather strap (fits under a collar, beautiful, versatile...hey it's my collection & I hate dress watches tbh)
Great colour combo on the Orient Bambino .
Excellent stuff Jody, stand outs there are the Yema and the Direnzo. Always been focused on the motorsport Yema’s but the Navygraf looks fabulous. As for Direnzo the new diver is really lovely but I’m still drawn the first model they released. Seems they have something lacking in other brands, design and vision. Only negative was the Hammy really, just never liked it much. Great video though, loved it. 😍
The DiRenzo was an excellent choice! I'm eagerly awaiting mine!
Great video, you are great for putting out more videos than your counterparts during this quaranteen
Great choice of wtaches. You know what you do and what you are talking about.👍
Lovely choice on the Yema!! I've recently stumbled across them and I've gotten a sweet spot for them
Love all of the choices, a couple of which I'd never heard of before. I've been on a Casio kick of late (damn you, Jody!) so the MDV100 may just have to be my next purchase. I've actually never paid more than ~$200 + shipping for any single watch, but I'm VERY intrigued by both the Direnzo and Yema.
All of South Africa love your shirt. And your videos. Bless!
If Blakes’s 7 had a watch it’d definitely be the Direnzo.
Servalan wouldn’t be able to keep her thieving mitts off it😁
Ashford.com has Glycine Combat Subs for $300-$400 with full warranty. I bought 2 of them and Ashford has been great
For a grand: Tissot Gentlemen ($580) Orient Kamasu ($200) CasiOak ($100). I own these three and they really do it all.
The Casio MDV100 has been one of my personal favorites for the last year. Great watch :-)
My 3 perfect piece combo would be a 200.... Citizen ecodrive titanium bm 7360 82m versatile, can be dressy and robust solar movement, 500... Hamilton Khaki manual wind ,serious charm field watch whichever model, 1000 ... Mido Oceanstar tribute .. superbly finished automatic diver with a cracking movement and 80 hour powerreserve.
I picked up a bracelet for my Casio Duro on Ali Express for $11 and it actually fits and looks really good!
