Thank you Henry! I like to do just that, dress down formal watches. I like the contrast. Todays formal watches where the beaters of the 50's-60's sometimes :)
This was totally worth the wait! Very relaxed and sympathetic way of presenting, really enjoyed it a lot. The Pasha is just so cool and still overseen by so many. The IWC brought back memorys from when I skipped the platinum one, fullset, serviced even my birthyear for 6,9k€ loool. My favourite is the wonderful Eterna tho. Such a wonderful piece. The Hublot isn't bad either, would totally love to wear it! Keep up the great work, bro!
Thanks a lot Raf, truly appreciate your kind words! Agree upon the Pasha and sorry to hear about the IWC 😬 I knew you’d like that one! The Eterna is so funky and offers a lot of watch for the money. There is one in solid 18k as well…
You have brilliant taste! I feel like I’ve been on a similar journey but on hyper-speed. I’ve got from Moonwatch to Seamaster 300 to Patek to AP to Rolex (and more in between - especially bargain quartz oddities.) I love a yellow gold watch and 1970s vibes. Had a lot of fun in the summer with a vintage YG day date. And the winner in the end is cartier - the only watch I ever got from an AD was my little solar tank. I love it!.. good price, no need to baby it, beautiful, tasteful, goes with jeans and sweatshirt.. ps. That IWC is phenomenal!
Thanks dude! A lot of fun and quirky stuff out there from high-end brands that are overlooked… spoiler alert, most of the pieces are gone including the ones that replaced them 🫣
Hi Aleks! I have discovered your Chanel lately and it is absolutely fantastic ! I love your videos and specially the ones about Cartier. I am French and I live in Göteborg. Are you living in Stockholm ? Your Eterna is stunning! Really. Fabulous little gem! I am surprised you don’t have a Santos in your current collection.
Excellent video, Aleks. I'm new to your channel and enjoyed the opportunity to discover a presenter/collector quite different to the usual YT norm. Not full of the usual suspects of steel sports watches, more dress and especially 18kt. Good for you. I love to 'dress down' a dress watch although one gold is enough! The IWC perpetual is my pick by far, fabulous. You've got a new subscriber.
Thank you Chris! I try to have a more relaxed approach and not to ”nerd down” too much in accuracy and amount of components in the movement. But also I like some more funky/not your usual suspect watches as you also mentioned. Thanks for subscribing! 🙏🏼
Hi man. Wonderful collection. Can I ask you one thing? I’m considering MDM but afraid of size. How is the size of it compared to 33mm royaloak? I feel 33 RO bit small on my wrist
Thanks dude! In terms of presence, similar. Maybe a bit more from the RO even. The Hublot is a bout as slim but the rubber strap is very thin so it wears ”elegantly”
I would really appreciate if you could advise where I could buy replacement rubber straps for my Hublot MDM Geneva 1981. Like you I LOVE this watch and I bought it in Milan as it became available
Really nice interesting collection! Really enjoyed the diversity. My wife has also a Hublot MDM Geneve GMT in her collection and she loves it as well. I cannot understand the hate.
Hey Alex thats a nice collection u got! Thinking about trading in my Seamaster 300 ive had for 25 years, what could i get thats worth trading it against? A Tudor BB? Oyster? Seawolf? Something that will last me another 25 years 🙏
@@AleksWatchesTack för svar! Föredrar sport/simpla. Kikade lite på Hublots mdm/ Tudor BB, GS. Tycker KS har förändrats på senaste och har svårt att hitta något vettigt då folk vill ha pengar även fast min Seamaster är värderad högre. Kanske värt att vända sig till en butik eller vad tror du? 🙂
It's my first time to hear about Nezumi, and it caught my attention because Nezumi means mouse in Japanese (I'm not Japanese but I am quite fluent in the language). Does it have any meaning in Swedish, or is it just a name? My watch collection started with a 45.5mm Planet Ocean, and over the years I've gone down in size and now 40mm is my sweet spot, the smallest being a 38mm Khaki Field Mechanical. Who knows I might get a 36mm dress watch (maybe JLC Ultra Thin?) down the line.
@@AleksWatches The Khaki are great. I've gone down in size over the years and 40mm is my sweet spot at the moment, but those long lugs provide a larger wrist presence than the diameter alone would suggest, so I was able to go down further. It was this watch that actually made me start considering Nomos watches, who also have long lugs. Plus you can start a Khaki collection without breaking the bank.
Great Collection! Get new ones without disposing of any please! Have you ever seen the One inch Square, Round Face, VERY THIN Universal Geneve? I have three stainless steel ones and am looking for the Platinum Case like the one my father had! I know you’ll appreciate it.😊 Namaste!!!!
Great video and awesome collection, just subscribed. Do you know if there is danger in setting the perpetual calendar to todays date? Greetings from Bern :)
@@AleksWatches Now I want one! Will there be state of the collection 2023 update episode? I just found your channel and I'm slowly browsing thru episodes now.
@Big_Black_Clock SOTC of 2023 more or less non existant 🫣 have shifted focus a bit from collecting more to sourcing/dealing with watches I enjoy myself but haven’t found any new keepers on that journey (yet)
I like your Omega ... your first watch. If you ever decides to sell or find a similar one in very good condition, please let me know. I am in New Jersey, USA.
Which piece in the collection is your favourite?
good question;)
Love the IWC
My favorite was the VC.
Not related, but I would be interested in buying!
@@danielherrera2305 send me an email at aleks@alekswatches.com
Welcome to youtube bro! Love the VC and the Hublot! :)
Thanks brother 🙏🏼 Glad to hear you love the VC, I ship it to you and you send me money. Deal? Ok! 😉
Very modest watch collection, I love the collector's thoughts on his watch collecting and his sense of design.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Beautiful collection! Glad to see a revival in more classical wrist watches that can be dressed down :)
Thank you Henry! I like to do just that, dress down formal watches. I like the contrast. Todays formal watches where the beaters of the 50's-60's sometimes :)
I'm not much of a Hublot fan but glad to see someone with a different taste and showcasing!
This was totally worth the wait! Very relaxed and sympathetic way of presenting, really enjoyed it a lot.

Beautiful Hublot model. Looks exactly as the name brand, a porthole. My favorite Hublot is the classic fusion ceramic blue. Someday…
Collection is FIRE bro!🔥
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼
Cartier Tank is just gorgeous tbh.
“It’s probably good for Halloween…or something…” LOL that’s how you know you’re talking to a watch nut….(just like myself!)
The best is the Omega. The worst is the Hublot. Keep updating the state of your collection!
Will do sir!

Nope 💪🏼

Hi Jerome! Thanks a lot 🙏🏼
Yes in Stockholm.
Yeah Eterna I should have kept 🫣
@@AleksWatchesoh you sold it? Very bad decision :) It kooks fantastic.
I also love Cartier santos carre, I will try to find a good one…
Very cool Eterna, I’ll buy from you if you ever sell it!
It’s sold unfortunately but seems to be on its way to a collector friend of mine right now actually
VC is my favourite piece in your collection. But could see why it wouldn’t get worn very often also
Definitely a beautiful watch. A lot of bang for the buck!
ohyes, a stunnder indeed. Aleks should keep it:D

Cheers! Appreciate it 🙏🏼
Nice watch collection. It is nice to see Vacheron and Carier in a watch collection video!
Thank you!
Beautiful collection, especially the JLC and VC. All looks elegant and proportional on the wrist. What’s your wrist size?
Thank you very much! 16,5cm ✌🏼
Awesome collection! What strap are you using for the Tank Must?
Anthracite grey calf from Molequin! Thanks.
Nice collection, thanks for sharing!
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Fantastic collection. I love the VC. That's the one I like the best.
Thank you 🙏🏼
what strap are you using for your black dial soft watch? I find 14mm straps aren't so common in men's size.
Hirsch Rainbow
Nice collection! Especially like the IWC and the Reverso.
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Wonderful collection. I wish i bought the softwatch back when it was in its hundreds… btw, nice shirt, can you share a link for it?
Thank you very much! It is from Drake’s bought it like 3-4 years ago but I guess there is something similar in their current collection
Hi man. Wonderful collection.

@@AleksWatches 🤣👍
Just recently bought a Hublot MDM and… same issue strap too large. Where did you get a sized strap?
Have to order from Hublot
Hublot mainly hated because of 1 youtuber......LOL.
Well he has definitely contributed A LOT to the hate on social media, don’t you agree?
Крутая коллекция!!!!!!
New sub here, keep up the great work brother!
Thank you man! 🙏🏼
Love soft watch!! Where is a good/trusted place I can find one?

where do you typically sell your watches?
On Chrono24
Tank is the most beutiful in your collection. Its my grail watch and I hope I will get it one day

Thanks James!
can you talk about your wrist size please
16,5cm

Awesome!
What year is that reverso? Is it a monoface also?

Yes what a lucky woman, right?
