What’s great is that all jobs are good in Finland. If someone here in the US said that, we’d be thinking ok, but when are you going to get a real job. In Finland, all jobs are respected, which is great.
A watch that was passed down to me by my father is a Datejust 16030 serial no. 7 mil (1982). It’s still running today and in good condition considering I used it as a weapon when I was entangled in a brawl.
@ Champagne dial. It’s actually a two-toned DJ. I had it serviced last 2018. I used it out of instinct, a backhand punch, to shut a drunk guy. Mind you, my DJ’s acrylic crystal was fine afterwards but the guy’s right cheek was not. I’m gonna visit the discord.
My first proper watch is that Seiko 5 Sport GMT too. I bought it last year. The GMT complication suited my need given I work in a multinational team in which everyday we would have a zoom call. I at least need to know one of the timezone of my teammates. I also have been using it during my business travel. The black dial makes more versatile in most occasions than, say the orange or blue dial. Its also a strap monster.
You have a great series going. I hope to see much more in the future. I didnt catch the microbrand the nice gentleman wore at 5:37, can anyone help? Also, why are the color changing so randomly?
Sorry, but 500 Euros for that SKX imposter is a joke! You can get a SKX for way less than that and then upgrade it and still have some change left over. I’ll never understand why Seiko didn’t just give all the upgrades the 5KX got to the SKX, increase the water resistance to 300m and call it a day, instead of releasing that totally overpriced 5KX that’s not even a dive watch, unlike the original! Obviously the SKX design was still popular enough for Seiko to keep using it in the 5KX! They should have kept the SKX as their entry level dive piece beneath their Prospex series.

Watches bought and collected with Dad. These are the best kind of watches.
I definitely agree 🙂 do you have any watches collected with your dad? 😀
My two young boys are into my collection
No watch is more precious than a watch handed down by your parents.
Another great vid, thanks for sharing, that Seiko 5 as a one and done! Nice!
Great content and editing. Love your videos. Keep it up. Subscribed.
I love this channel! So authentic! Well done! 👏👏
Skateboarding coordinator in Helsinki... so rad!

I love that dad! Seems like a very nice guy. Tough choice on who gets the Patek. Lol

Awesome! And yeah, they are workhorses they can really take a beating. What dial is it out of interest and have you shared it on our discord? 🙂

Nice people, nice watches👏
Thank you for your comment! What was the nicest watch in your opinion? 😀
@@TheJapaneseFactory vintage Omega was finest 👌
Love the series
Somehow I like hearing other people's journey in wrist watches.
We are all sick! 💯☝️😁
Another interesting and relevant video! Well done!👍
Nice video! I like the micro brand watch, it's simple and kinda rare looking.
Agree 👍 Have a Baltic, Trafford and amazing Kuoe! 👌
Yeah it was very eye catching. Have you heard of that microbrand before? 😀
@@TheJapaneseFactory Haven't heard of that micro brand, it's very cool to see people wear watches that you don't see everyday.

What an oceanmaster?? Man that must be priceless.
12K for that Daytona is a steal compared to nowadays.
What I have noticed is that many use the chronograph hand on quartz chronographs as a seconds hand since it always ticks.
You have a great series going. I hope to see much more in the future. I didnt catch the microbrand the nice gentleman wore at 5:37, can anyone help?
Also, why are the color changing so randomly?

What is the blue watch in japanese that you showed at the end it is awesome!
Hey, you can find it here: kuronotokyo.com/pages/reserve-de-marche-sensu thank you for your comment!
Speaking of skateboarding near the end, I really think the Yuto Horigome seiko watches
Did he say: ''I gave two other watches to my 2 sons...but THIS is what Daddy wear!'' @2:10 ?? lolol Haha :-)
hahahhah I wish! He said "this is my daily wear"
I FINALLY UPGRADED!!! From an F91 to W217!!! i sold my F91 for 5 bucks and bought a W217 for 22 bucks!!! FINALLY A WORTHY UPGRADE!
zamn! Congratulations!
Someday, I would like to pass on my collection to my kids..
Anyone know what sling bag the first one is wearing?
I tried looking around with Google lens but couldn't find much information, sorry 😔 maybe somebody in the discord might have better luck finding it!
I have owned/reviewed two About Vintage.
What do you think about them overall? It's our first time hearing of them :) But I liked the look of that one
@TheJapaneseFactory pretty good watches. Their gmts are really cool. Very retro looking.
Where can I find the discord server?
Hi! Thanks for your comment, you can find the link below:

That fossil watch was been given a couple years ago, and owner claims to be using it for 10.😅
scary if you wear expensive watches in the street😅
everyones wearing t-shirts. was this shot recently?
I wear t-shirts and no jackets and it is -5 degrees here.
About 3 weeks ago, right as winter started to bite, but this day was ~20 degrees. Are you in Japan? :)
These people are 🤑, I can't believe it.
they speak better english than native ones

Daytona is so overrated, and don't even look that good
Different strokes for different folks, I think a Daytona looks really nice, out of interest what models do you prefer instead? :)
@TheJapaneseFactory simple oyster perpetual date, or Explorer 2
Fossil and Swatch = Garbage. Spend that money on Casio or even a good chinese watch lol.
