    Christian gets a little "pushy" sometimes. Maybe it's all the passion or maybe it's because he's a Gary Vee fan. I get a little exhausted sometimes. But Michael, you're not trying to sell watches so it's much more relaxed and it's a nice balance to the channel.

    Love these videos with Michael--a great addition to the crew. You can tell that he is a truly passionate watch-geek, but he is also very down-to-earth, and this makes him feel relatable. I also think his pacing is perfect. He talks very fast, but you can still understand every word he says. I love this fast-but-clear talking---you get the info you need quickly, and it makes his little stories (which might have been a little boring if he talked slowly) delightful. Keep this man coming back...or better yet, do round table-discussions with all 3 of you (christian, anna, and michael), even if he has to be on webcam.

    Thanks for telling the story about getting your Seiko back. My first somewhat expensive watch was an orange dialed Seiko quartz dive watch. It was a gift from my parents when I graduated middle school. Quartz analog watches weren't all that common at that point much less ones from Seiko. It was purchased from a kiosk in a mall. They had other brands like Citizen that are now more respected. I remember the sales person was rather surprised that I wanted to look at the Seiko watches. I remember looking at one that had a red and blue bezel like a certain popular Rolex does now. I liked the orange dial one with the black bezel. I was never one of the 'cool kids' but I darn sure had the coolest watch in high school. I still wear it and and still smile when I see the deadbeat seconds action. It's actually got some collectors value from the research I've done. That doesn't really matter since I'd never sell it.

    I love your storytelling behind the watches. Thank you. I don't have great names like you and they're mostly the watches people hate, (Movado because I've always wanted one), and Must de Cartier vintage Art Deco Limited Edition, because Cartier IS art). However, I worked hard and bought them with my own money. Though many receive these type of watches as gifts I am proud to say I got them for myself. That being said, my next purchase will be a Nomos (cream face) and an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra! All in due time. Collecting is expensive! Thanks again for your video.

    I like my taste in watches because I like the cheap ones. Not talking about some wallmart crap, but I absolutely have a weakness for minimalistic casio watches that usually go for 40 to 100 bucks. I can't flex with a high end watch but I can flex with my booming outfit with an awesome matching watch!

    Hi Michael! I gasped while listening to your SARB story. I also sold my SARB because I needed extra funds for my new house. I convinced myself that I will move on to smaller watches instead. But I’ve always regretted it. I wore it to my Grandmother’s 97th birthday party, uploaded photos to instagram, and had fun with switching straps on it. Never tried buying it back though. ☹️ By the way, I’m also a sucker for un-round watch cases. 😉

    First real chuckle of the video, "...No measurements. Thank God since I don't remember how to measure my bust. I mean my chest..."
    That out of the way I feel you had viable points. In my case I got into watches because of the military. So my idea on watch collecting is looking at affordable and functional peices. I had too many watches break on me and thusly I chose to be the more "this warch for this occasion" so to protect the more delicate ones. No, not all of my watches are the absolute best for the price, but they suit me. If you include my Pocket watch and a gift from my girlfriend I have six watches. In circulation I wear three of them, but that has more to do with why and what I am doing.
    In order of common wear:
    Citizen Solar Drive BM01800 (I think the ref number is). Daily/field
    Cisco digital watch (forgot ref.) Workout/beater/work
    Vostok Amphibia Orange Scuba Dude. Beater/sport/dive
    Timex Marlin Reissue 34mm dress
    The other two I rarely wear but will never get rid of. The pocket watch I occasionally wear.
    I may add that watches are more for function than fashion but they are both a tool and fashion peice. And it's the last thing people look at unless they are into watches.
