Guys, thanks, that you've clicked this monster of a video! I wanted to keep it modest, but there were so many watches and so many informations around them. Editing kept me awake an entire night and I bet you will find some errors. The plan was to keep the segment of every watch relatively short though. But if you miss some informations, then feel free to ask here in the comments. Enjoy the ride! ;-)
Like many people I'm in one of those periods where I'm 'out of love' with watches in general. I wear a 1962 Certina; everything else is in boxes and hasn't been looked at for almost a month. Neverthless, during this hiatus, your's is the only watch vlog I can still bear to watch. I suspect I'm not the only one who goes through the 'watch blues' every so often. Top show as usual Tim.
Hallo :) da du Interesse an Uhren aus der Zeit des kalten Krieges hast, Ich habe einen Ruhla Chronograf. Vielleicht hast du ja mal Lust ein Video darüber zu machen
Don't worry Tim. It went by pretty quickly and your collection is so unusual unique and interesting. Very different from many other watch youtubers I am following. I believe my late Grandfather owned a similar Longines. No idea what happened to it sadly. Anyway, keep up the excellent work in 2021. Simon
Love seeing the vintage pieces. Man I wish I would stumble upon a well preserved piece. Condition is more important than anything in my opinion, and brands that have long disappeared are the most interesting as they are rarely displayed. Love your channel.
Summarizing your collection: it's either vintage pieces, or vintage looking pieces. I just love that - exactly my taste! Wonderful collection, thank you for sharing it with us.
I just restore the movement of tuning fork Accutron 1967 made in USA, Linen Champaign dial. The original mercury battery was broken and leakage and I can't save the date dial disc. The number fade away but I will restore later.. Got new battery SR1136SW it got step down voltage to 1.35V. Now 2 weeks already and the movement is good smooth as butter. The watch was a gift from my friend and I live in Japan...that tissot navigator was one of my dream watch can't afford to own it, but I glad you share it with us👍❤😍
@@BitesizeGuitar it is not original to the watch. My watchmaker had it in a box of old bands and gave it to me. He thinks it was a spidell from the 50’s. I have since got another Hamilton like that one (on eBay) about $70 and I’m searching for a band like that myself. I’m glad it was so well received. Gifts are a thing with me. I have given away at least 20 watches. I gave my son an Omega Planet ocean and my son in law an Omega seamaster reduced.
@@res00xua Thanks so much for your reply, now we can hunt for the band together 😂 I totally agree with your philosophy, but still wow, that’s incredibly generous of you! I’m sure they all treasure such wonderful gifts! If ever you need another friend to practise your generosity with just give me a shout 😀 Thanks again for the information, all the best!
@@res00xua Sorry, also wondered if you knew the model of the Hamilton you so kindly gifted Tim? It looks like a Dewitt to me but so dazzling it's hard to tell.
Hello.from Polson, Montana, USA, Tim. On the largest freshwater lake West of the Mississippi. I'm wearing the new hand engraved Ègard "Bermuda" automatic with a butterfly clasp bracelet, and SW200 mvmt. Cheers. It was my birthday yesterday, on the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st Century. :) I turned 38.
tim - what a nice and varied collection. And in my opinion, this is what watch collecting is about. I get so tired of listening to people who only collect rolex, PP, Omega, etc. You have a nice variety of vintage and modern
This is what you can call a collection. Most of the channels exhibiting their ‚collection‘, SOTC, simply show off every watch they bought rather randomly. More a hoard than a thoughtful, more selective collection in the old school sense of the word. Respect. Guten Tag.
I have a 1954 Omega gold watch with a Bonklip gold bracelet. Handwinding, small but classy. I have a Sea-gull Ocean Star diver with a 28800bph movement, you can hear it vibrating on my wood bedside table. I also have a Seagull 1963 on a Rios brown leather strap, see through caseback. I use it for timing development of my black and white films. It has no lume which is advantageous. No fogging of films. I have two nos Sea-gull watches. A Seagull st5 and a Seagull St5d with a date. Beautifully engraved caseback and signed crowns. I have a Raketa Bauhaus style watch with numbers at 12,2,4,6,8 and 10 37mm two level dial. 2609ha movement. Runs for ages accurately.
I love your approach to watch collecting. I have an OWIX 17 jewel hand wound watch an old defunct obscure Swiss watch maker. I just love how all these lost to time brands have their own little personality.
Here in Illinois, we pronounce Elgin as El-jin. Since the company was established here, I think that it should be pronounced that way. But people can pronounce it any which way they want. --Michael
Coming from the classic menswear "scene" myself, you are the only watch youtuber (at least to my knowledge) that shares the same angle of approach in terms of seeing watches as "garments". Also thanks for introducing me to Dubey & Schaldenbrand. I've been thinking about this long and hard but I truly believe that the Caprice could be the one for me. Any thoughts on that particular model? Beste Grüße!
@@kojiattwood I am. Brian seems to be a bit more of a "poster watch"-completionist, though. Lange Datograph, PP Nautilus, VC Traditionel etc. - far out of my price bracket and also not exactly my type of collecting philosophy. One other great "sartorial" watch collector would be Mark Cho from "The Armoury". Fantastic guy!
I also have a Hamilton from 1955 very similar to yours. You're right, it's tiny, but that was the style for dress watches back then. You can imagine Cary Grant wearing such a watch with his Brooks Brothers grey suit.
Thanks for the great video. You seem to be into art a lot. Could you perhaps do a video on different watches from certain eras and influences ? Would be great and very interesting!
3 month's ago I bought a Hamilton Pan Europ. And like it so much, that I have been wearing it every day since then. Now my wife is teasing me that she feels sorry for the other watches in my small collection. That I'm neglecting them. But she has a point. I don't feel the need to buy another watch any time soon. Instead of that, I decided to save up over many years to buy my grail watch.
Do you know if this can be done by a watchmaker ( if you have a recommandation online btw...) for models that don't have factory transparent caseback ? For example for the Seagull, I imagine it's possible to swap the caseback with one of the clear caseback produced for the many otherd 1963 watches. But I suspect it's a different story for watches that don't have factory.made clear casebacks.
@@H0kram I've done this once with an old Jaeger Le'coutre which had a particularly thick and sturdy back, you lathe out a hole but leave a lip. It's a huge pain however. I've seen a number of skilled enthusiasts who are decent at it but I've not seen any professional watchmakers offer the service unfortunately.
@@thecreativecurator7829 Thank you very much for your reply, it is a far more difficult task than it seems to be from the eyes of an amateur like me. Congrats for doing it yourself, there might be a business here :)
Hi Tim, love the Tissot Tissonic a guy located very close by restores them & sells them on ebay. I was looking at the blue dial version, but seeing yours you've changed my mind.
Great collection Tim, especially that Oris pointer date with the multi color dial, just awesome. I have always liked your channel and I believe the word would be "Honest" as your motto. Keep up the great work, and I would like to see more in the way of Military/Field watches as that is what I really like.
I love cold war and iron courtain things too. Seems to be a german 80s children thing. That Vostok is verry cool. By the way I own the same Seiko 5 with a white dial from the early 2000.
Great collection, Tim. Simultaneously stylish and charming. On paper, I don't think I would have rated this collection highly, but after seeing it I have a much different perspective on it, so this was a very eye-opening video. The reference number for the Oris with the two "vinyl" dial inlays should be 4533. 😉
Great collection, I'm buying some much smaller watches recently, I blame you & Jory from The Time Teller channel. I now have a 25.5mm tank watch which I think looks great on my 7.5" wrist. Thanks.
Beautiful collection, thank you for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻 Do you have a collection of guitars too? (my father has some stunners, including Gibson, Martin, Furch,)
The Accutron (the old Accutron from the 1960's and 70's) tuning fork pitch is only 9+ Hz down from an F-sharp (360 Hz vs. 369 Hz for the F-sharp). I've tuned my guitar with it. Find the pitch of the watch and raise it ever so slightly! The great Bluegrass and Jazz guitarist Tony Rice (who passed away this past Christmas morning) was a Accutron afficianato and turned his guitar with a tuning fork. You are in good company. Keep at it!
Very nice and rafined collection ! I was just thinking about an update on your collection and there it is , video was already posted :) I was surprised you sold the 1963 sapphire seagull . The new one looks nicer but the caseback is not and also the plexi does not hold up like the sapphire , but I guess you can get bored of it after a whiile.
Nice collection, Tim...pretty much uniform! You have good taste🍷 Edit; By the way...how much did you say you were going to sell that Oris pointer for?😁
Very nice. It's the kind of collection that I'd like to have, not dominated by divers but on the contrary. My fav is the Precimax - nice looking and also very slim for an automatic, not to mention the gold case - buy it :)
I see watches as garments as well. If I have to pick what type of garments, I'd say watches are masks. And when you put one on, look in the mirror, and you see yourself, that is the one you should keep. Sadly, I have many faces.
The seagull 1962 looks nicer than the 1963. In my "collection" the chronograph berth is filled by a couple of Seiko 6139's but given the problems in trying to buy one of those ( that has not been butchered ) the Seagull looks interesting. £500 I think it could be cheaper . It delivers on style. Seiko 5's I have a thing for the models with non arabic dial numbers ie not 1-12 but other countries numbers. A conversation stopper if you like that sort of thing. Richard
Hallo Tim, ich habe dein neues Video genossen. Wenn du mich fragst ist das folgende meine Lieblingsuhren. 1) Omega Constellation. Ein Plus ist dass du diese Uhr von deinem Großvater geerbt hast. 2) Rolex Datejust, 3) Oris Pointer Date. Ich mag die Marke Seiko nicht aber es hat etwas mit meiner Exfrau zu tun. Das ist eine lange Geschichte:-)
Rasanter Fortschritt beim Deutsch lernen - richtig gut! Man merkt, dass du keinen Online-Übersetzer benutzt hast. Die scheitern regelmäßig an der Grammatik. Ich plage mich hier gerade mit dem Unterschied zwischen "when" und "if". Auf Deutsch heißt beides einfach "wenn".
Great collection, with quite unique watches, for me the favorite is the Boctok, I like it a lot, I hope one day to find one and buy it, I have a Poljot Vulcano that I really like. And the Rolex is fantastic, I have one but from the 70s that I also love. Greetings.
Love the Mido It's in good nick Is that serviced Tim? I like all of them apart from the Banarna can't be bothered to even look up how it is spelt .Nice collection you deserve to be able to take it a bit easy you have worked hard over the passed few years, we have all benefitted from your art and I for one am grateful .
The value in the precimax is essentially in the gold. These old swiss brands do not have much resale value. I had a Desta which was an older swiss brand. It was 18K and a beautiful dress watch. Sold it for the gold value but this was before e-bay.
Your ethics in not accepting money or free watches make a difference: you have a credibility which some other commentators don't have. I think it's an error to call any wristwatch steampunk. Almost by definition, steampunk means pendant or pocket watches; those bronze gauges are, of worn on the wrist, definitely dieselpunk.
Lynette from Time Commanders? Cool! Anyway, isn't dieselpunk more along the lines steel stuff? While classic pocket watches match the era steampunk is based on, they kind of fall short of the over the top parts of the aesthetic, which doesn't really match the historical era all that well.
Loved your collection. I know this is off topic but please play some more guitar. I found it very enjoyable. Please continue your posting and opinion work, it is appreciated here in the USA.

Where do you recommend I buy leather straps? I am in Europe and I dont want to buy from the US because of costs.
Great video, watched the whole thing. A shame your friend’s dad died.
Random Q I bought a Stowa Antea for Christmas, what are your thoughts on Bauhaus watches?
I find Bauhaus watches sometimes a bit boring, but certainly not the Antea! That piece brings some character with it. Well done!
Yes buy your friends watch.🤙

I think you are wearing the watch too low. That is the reason of bracelet stretch.
"pimpy in a good way...like the good pimp." lmao
Just eine frage;) do you always wear that kind of clothes? Or do you wear relaxed t-shirts and jeans too?
Always. Even on the beach I wear a dress shirts, but then of course without tie and with shorts. And I find my style pretty relaxed. ;-)
@@CasebackWatches btw, did i see a two tone oris pointer in that opening shot?
@@vincentyzer1627 Yes, my girlfriend's watch. I was in need of the strap ;-)
nice
Great review. May I ask you what you do for living?
Thanks. Journalist. Local news.
Get a Gruen Curvex, really, do it, it has a curved movement even.
Something tells me that you like white dials
