H. Moser & Cie Streamliner "Purple Haze" Unboxing!!
Merry Christmas friends, today I unbox the Moser Streamliner Purple Haze. I waited quite a while for this as my AD is only getting 2 per year of each color. I actually got offered the gen 2 Green Dragon way back in the spring but I thought it would be too close to my Pioneer and I have nothing like this Purple Haze, so I held out for it. This Streamliner case and bracelet is absolutely fantastic and the new HMC201 skeletonized movement is the best looking one in my collection (followed by the Rolex 1908). Along with the Pioneer it gives me Royal Oak / Royal Oak Offshore vibes. My only complaint is that Moser uses pin and sleeves in the bracelet and I've scratched a link trying to size it down!

Grand Seiko "Karasawa" SBGY035 Unboxing!
Переглядів 41221 день тому
I've recently fallen out of love with Grand Seiko but this one definitely caught my eye. As usual with GS dials, they're very dull and boring in dim lighting but come alive in bright light, so I tried to showcase the dial as best as I could by playing around with lights and comparing to the Shunbun and red Katana. The nice thing about this dial, though, is that even in dim lighting the "fume" t...
Studio Underdog Watermel0n Unboxing!

ordered this one for the first 2024 drop and it arrived after a long while. it's just a small fun piece. got some crazy stuff that just landed so will be uploading some unboxings and footage over the next few weeks as I get some free time. and then I'm gonna sell off unused pieces and take a break from buying! phew!
Rolex 1908 Yellow Gold Black Dial Unboxing!
Переглядів 1 тис.Місяць тому
Today I unbox the Rolex 1908 in yellow gold with black dial and a small gift from the AD. These are not the most hyped Rolex out there but beautiful nonetheless. From the AD's I've talked to, these don't seem to come by that frequently, but my main AD got two and was willing to sell one immediately. At first I thought I would like the white dial version (and the secondary market prices are also...
Rolex Submariner Starbucks MK2 Bezel 126610LV Unboxing!
Переглядів 2,2 тис.3 місяці тому
I got this one in New York City from an AD that I had bought a Tudor and Datejust from last year! Was stoked to get a hype piece for a fairly minimal spend history (for NYC standards lol). Not much else to say about it though since I have the LN bezel sub, but it's a nice to have while my other sub is in service at the moment.
Tudor PINK Black Bay Chrono Unboxing!
Переглядів 6864 місяці тому
Got very lucky to get allocated one of these at a Tudor event recently. The bracelet makes this a very enjoyable watch to wear even though it is as big as the regular Black Bay Chrono. The color is also fun and refreshing addition from Tudor. The box quality has gone down a bit but it's ok I suppose. Since I'm going to get a comment about it... yes I sometimes wear van cleef and no I don't care...
IWC Ingenieur Aqua Dial Unboxing!
Переглядів 6885 місяців тому
Today I unbox the IWC Ingenieur Aqua dial version along with a gift from my AD. These used to be much harder to find because they were only sold via the boutiques but now they've caught up with production numbers and opened it up to regular authorized dealers so I was one of the first to get it from my AD. I think it is one of the coolest dial watches I have and I love the raised polished cente...
Rolex Sky Dweller Blue Dial Jubilee 336934 Unboxing!
Переглядів 6626 місяців тому
The grail is acquired! I fell in love with the sky dweller a few years ago when I learned about the movement inside. And I think the blue dial looks the best on this watch even though the green is going for way more on the secondary market 😅 The watch feels a bit heavier than some of my other heavy watches mainly because the weight is mostly distributed toward the head of the watch and the jubi...
Omega Seamaster Diver 300m James Bond 60th Anniversary Unboxing!
Переглядів 5678 місяців тому
I'm not the biggest fan of Omega's watch designs, particularly the 9 link style bracelet of the SMP300, however this 60th anniversary Bond edition stood out to me. I like the vintage style dial with the 60 on the bezel, small iykyk vibes. And I don't think the movement is particularly pretty compared to some other watches I have, so I actually prefer the moire effect on the case back. I got thi...
Grand Seiko Red Katana SBGA493 Unboxing!
Переглядів 2209 місяців тому
Today I unbox one of the last GS red katana's you can get from the new Grand Seiko boutique in NYC. The only problem is it's missing the strap! Supposedly it is on backorder with Jean Rousseau so I will make a short when it finally comes. I absolutely love the 44GS case, though I wish the pattern was more obvious. The color is beautiful but the katana pattern can only be seen in bright lights a...
Zenith Defy Skeleton Blue Unboxing!
Переглядів 60110 місяців тому
I'm unboxing my first Zenith today. I went back and forth between the new Chronomaster Sport's and the regular Defy's but ultimately went with the Defy Skeleton because the Chronomaster Sport reminds me too much of a Rolex Daytona and the regular Defy too much of a Tissot PRX. The skeleton dial is really cool and as a surprise, I am enjoying wearing it on the rubber strap over the metal bracelet!

Rolex GMT Master II 126710 BLNR Batgirl Unboxing!
Переглядів 990Рік тому
Happy holidays to everyone! I recently got offered a Rolex submariner for which I was able to convince the AD for a batgirl allocation instead, just in time for Christmas! It's a great everyday piece, and of the three GMT's, if I could only have one, I would probably pick the batgirl. But given that I have a pretty built out collection, I find myself wearing more colorful or unique watches over...
Girard Perregaux Laureato Panda Chrono Unboxing!
Переглядів 619Рік тому
Unboxing a new GP Panda Laureato! I had my eye on this for a while because I liked the design, but it was out of my budget so I had to save up for a bit before buying. I particularly like this dial because of the bridges logo under the GP text instead of the 1791 - a small update that nobody seems to have noticed! I prefer the old box compared to the new one but the travel pouch is nice too. Al...

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Moon Unboxing Mozsly Watch Winder!
For that price, the boxes should be so much better
I have the same piece, but I accidentally wind it backwards. Do you think it will damage it? For AP adjusting time backward is all good.
It will be fine in general but you don’t want to make a habit of it for any watch (except for watches like the Cartier rewind which tell time in reverse)
Very interested in this watch. How would you describe the dial outdoors? I had several Grand Seikos and all of them "lost their charm" (texture, color) depending on the outside light.
It really comes to life outdoors in my opinion. I’ve had similar experiences with gs except they lose their charm depending on indoor lighting. The nice thing about this watch is that even indoors the gradient dial is very interesting
The fumé effect is actually quite cool in low light. Very nice!
The leather pouch is a nice touch.
Hi Eric, you need to do a video of a State of the Collection (SOTC)!
Maybe at the start of next year! I got a few more cool pieces to showcase and also in the process of selling some of my lesser worn stuff
@ excellent! Looking forward to your videos!
If the Aquaterra was a darker summer blue, I would’ve bought it. I went with the PO instead.
Check out the new dark turquoise ones in 38mm and 41mm!
Enjoy! 🍉
That is an absolute stunner. Congratulations
that PRX must feel like junk compared to those Tudor's.
Yes I kinda regret getting it 😅
Wish I could get one From an AD
from me and my friend's experience, datejusts and subs aren't the hardest to get from an ad so hopefully one day you will get one too!
Congrats on the new Starbucks!! Did you get the Omega from the same dealer as well or at the Omega boutique?
I got it from my main ad where i live!
How long did you wait?@@ericcollects
Tricky to answer… I bought a Tudor at this ad last year summer and requested a bluesy but never heard back. In the next 12 or so months on my trips to nyc there was a bunch of staff turnover so I requested various subs and gmts with different people but never heard back until this latest summer trip to nyc where another new sa got me the Starbucks within 2 days of asking for it!
Nice! It took me a year and 9 months to get mine@@ericcollects
I actually really like this , could be a future purchase if they make them part of rhe core collection. Its itresting to watch as you can now get the harrods BB online at retail. Hopwfully the same will happen with this model and I can snag one at retail :)
the ad I got this from says more is expected to come!
I just joined the GS9 club and I'm so upset i missed this lol
I'm kinda torn between this one and the Shades sandstone...
Congrats! How do you like it now after a few months? You wear it often? Did you also take a look at the NTTD version too? If you ever want to sell the watch box for whatever reason, let me know - I've been looking for one.
Yes I do still wear it! I didn’t like the nttd version so much because of the plain dial, this one feels more special because of the throwback elements 😁
Amazing. Big congrats. This is my new grail after white panda daytona i recently got. Wear it in good health. Looks great on you!
It took me three years to get mine from my AD, the worst part, I hardly wear any of my other watches once I got mine.
Eric !,Hi u have an astonishing timepieces collection,i appreciate the efforts you are putting into making a content that amuse u first and us, therefore i would like to share a few tips for u free of charge, to increase the quality of ur content and make your efforts reach large amount of audience,i tried to find your contact but if you add ur email to your channel's 'about' i can contact you, 😉✌
Sick grail!
Very underrated watch deffo worth holding on to
My dream watch until W&W came this year, the new HMC201 is 🔥
i got it yesterday and love it
Very nice watch!
the rubber strap goes so hard
do you think it’s more feminine with the rounded markers? i really like it a lot, but not quite sure…
I don’t notice it! My only complaint is the date window is kinda small 😅
I can't find a metal bracelet for a Moser Pioneer. Do you know what year Moser stop making them?
replied to you in the short :) but for everyone else, you can still order from an AD! takes a few months to get though
I can't find a H. Moser metal bracelet. Do you know what year they stop making the metal bracelets?
They still make the Pioneer bracelets! You can order through your AD but it took me 3 months to get. If you're in the US, you might be able to get it faster though. I spoke with one of the Moser Americas people recently and he said that they stocked up a few extra recently because of the interest in the pioneer bracelet.
The 114060 has such a nicer tapered size bracelet. The 12 series just seems to chunky at the clasp.
Nice
these are all very low quality. you take them into your hand and they weight nothing and look like they are made from very cheap plastic.
bioceramic is cheap plastic after all
How easy was it to swap the bracelets? Any damage?
Fairly easy if you have spring bar tweezers. The spring bars may get a little stuck so need to be gentle about that otherwise it might slip and scratch. Other than that I would expect just normal scratching on the inside of the lugs when changing bracelets
@@ericcollects FYI some use a dental floss tool to pop off the spring bars without scratching.
I got mine about 24 hours ago and I’ve been wearing it ever since. Except for when I took a shower and snoozed of course. It’s a beauty. I had the option of buying the Pepsi and the batgirl. I just couldn’t stop loving the sprite and it’s uniqueness. Stunning watch. Looks a lot prettier in person. Thanks for the video.
Congrats! It’s definitely a mental exercise but after a few days you get used to it and the uniqueness makes it super cool
@@ericcollects absolutely! Even I held it up the wrong way a couple of times, with the crown on the right. Did it at the AD too 😂. I got mine on the jubilee. My first, the others are on the oyester bracelet. The jubilee is so much more comfortable.
I got mine on oyster because my brain needed a simpler bracelet for the upside down case 🤣 but jubilee definitely has better gray market value! I asked for blnr on jubilee so I could swap between the two if I ever got bored
Congrats bro and looks lovely on the oyster bracelet
Also, what was your first watch? When did you start collecting
I think an orient bambino
Hi. I wanted to ask how you have so many watches? Are you rich person? Do you get discounts?
I’m not rich in the sense that I can buy whatever I want whenever I want. I do still have to work but my job pays a decent amount of money and I spent many years saving and investing very aggressively. I’ve been collecting since 2018 mainly affordable time pieces like seiko and orient bc that’s what my saving strategy could afford. But when my mom was suddenly diagnosed and died of cancer about 1.5 years ago, there was a moment in the hospital where she said “I worked so hard in my life and saved up for retirement but I couldn’t even enjoy any of it, why is god punishing me” and since then I’ve spent my money with the mindset of if I like it and can afford it, I’ll buy it.
@@ericcollectsI’m sorry to hear about your mother. I hope you continue to live life the way you have envisioned it to. Hope your watch collection grows and we get to watch more unboxing videos.
Wow, you are a BIG collector.. how do you have so many watches? Do you have a lot of money?
Omega is a more beautiful 🤩
Hi Eric, great video. Is that Datejust a 36 or 41 mm? And does the Aqua Terra hss any form of micro adjustments?
My datejusts are 36mm. I know 41mm is probably better suited for my wrist size (6.75inches) but I think the chunky bezels on the 41mm look not proportional lol. Aqua terra has no form of micro adjust so I’ve sized it to a place where it’s a decent fit most of the time
@@ericcollects Thanks mate. Truly love that 38 AT!
fireee collection
OMEGA has better killer looks than rolex.
I got mine yesterday. Trust me, you won’t regret this purchase. I can’t get rid of this beautiful watch.
THE PRICE IS IN EUROS OR DLLS?
Us dollars
The polishing on those hands is insane.
Hi! Was wondering if you could tell me what paperwork that comes with the watch, bought brand new has the date of purchase on it?
It’s full set that comes from an AD but I’m just unboxing my personal santos, not for sale
@@ericcollects yes I understand that, I’m looking to purchase a new santos for my s/o and was just curious about what paperwork that comes with the watch displays the exact purchase date. Or if it’s just the receipt that says the exact date.
Warranty card is dated and you can also register online with Cartier care to extend it up to 8 years. The Cartier care website will also have purchase date info after you register it
yoo i wish i bout this, im in NYC too and just got black dial Tudor GMT from Watches of Switzerland in Hudson Yards, i should've went to 42nd st Tourneau
Black is good too but white dial is so unique. And I’m starting to see more of them around at the 5th ave stores!
That’s that unc 🩵🩵
*An outdoors shot would be good.*
Will try to add them next time!
Too large….why can’t Omega make an Aqua Terra 150m in a 37 or 38mm case?
This one is 38mm!
@@ericcollectshahaha makes you realize many just comment to bash without knowing what they're bashing 😂
@MiloPragerSE and some just bash out of envy perhaps.
how is it going?-thanks~that's perfect ~
Good thank you!
