Pretty much all of them came from either yahoo auctions or mercari in Japan. I think both of those sites are pretty well known at this point and there are plenty of hidden gems at great prices if you spend the time looking
A selection that oozes great taste. So many pieces I am drawn to. None more than that stunning ivory dial anniversary Seiko. That vintage seiko “tank” with the integrated bracelet is so darn eclectic. I could keep going.
Really nice selection, friend. Some very intresting pieces. Can't go wrong with any of the SARB looking ones, and I suspect the 'factory worker offered only' piece will be very soughtafter in those circles. The Credor case shape is very de rigueur now so that's gonna fly and I love the look of the Lip... would be nice to see wrist shots of those two. Perhaps what surprised me most was how taken I was with the Astron, so cool! Especially so when setting itself. Nicely chosen :-)
Thanks for watching! Yes I've really been enjoying the Credor so far and the lip actually looks really great on a nato strap surpassingly 😅 That astron is very striking if you can pull off a slightly bigger case size!
The Japanese have some fantastic watches. Unfortunately they always seem to keep the best for their domestic market only. About 15 years ago I tried to buy a Chronomaster but found that it would have to be returned to Japan when it needed servicing. Further, Citizen would not deal with me but only with a japan-based 3rd party for the service or any repair. It completely put me off Citizen as a brand and I have not bought a single watch from their many brands since.
Yeah, that's pretty unfortunate. With citizen's more recent rise in popularity especially with the enthusiast market, I have heard that they are expanding their range (at least in Australia) and actually bringing chronomaster models to the market here, so that would at least provide local service and repair options. Not that that helps you from 15 years ago but at least the situation is improving, so it's interesting to observe
If it's in the dark it will go into power saving mode which stops the hands ticking but keeps track of the time. When it detected light after I took it out of the box, it updated the hands to the time it was tracking. If you're in a country that receives the radio signals it will also set itself automatically but in Australia here I don't get those. It doesn't have the GPS module like more expensive astron models that will work automatically anywhere
How much for the ivory dial anniversary Seiko I need that it would scratch my itch for the Tic Tac I still haven’t pulled the trigger yet on purchasing
These are incredibly hard to find and I was lucky to stumble on one. The tic tac would be a more affordable option to go for. If you like the ivory dial check out the recently and quietly released SZSB032
I have a friend in Japan who ordered them all separately for me and shipped them to me but there are other platforms and services like Buyee where you could do it
www.reddit.com/r/Seiko/comments/sm2jxm/4r3504n0_employees_only_exclusive_for_the_50th/?rdt=54169 It has no model number because it was only available to factory employees
@ You bought junk that cannot be verified. And while you try to bait me with your “champ” comment, you failed, I’m not the one telling people you are into watches and then buying rubbish you cannot even verify. Well done 👏.
@ I’ve no idea what Jimmy’s are but if you mean 🎱 not in the slightest, I just think your low end attempt to collect watches has driven you to a place where to sustain your channel you need to buy rubbish so you can create content, I guess you must need the 💰 but for me I’m out. Thank you though I appreciate you 🙌
Reasonable is very subjective. What might be reasonable for me could be wildly expensive for you. The point of the video is just to share the pieces, not the prices anyway ;)
@@addicted_to_watches you’re a philosopher of no merit with a taste in watches like the loser Australian you are. Stay in your box you pathetic little man child. All those watches are pure garbage
No, smoking and drinking is a waste of money his hobby is value adding and harmless, infact it is very good for his mental health which is very important for longevity and maintaining his happiness.
Good selection of watches, especially the Credor ( lovely ), you shoud post the link where to buy for those who are interested. Nice video

The Astron setting itself was mesmerising. I hope you make a video review, once you've got to know it.
I'm definitely planning to 👍

That Hamilton is amazing! Love it.
It's a real looker hey!

3:32, 4:51, 7:31,9:29, 12:01, 15:31 so many good looking watches!
Agreed! Thanks for watching 👍
Mind sharing the reference models for each watch? These are all great
I'll spend a bit of time finding them all and get back to you
@@addicted_to_watches don’t bother you loser. This person was being polite. Nobody really likes these merde watches 😂😂😂😂
I thought number 5 was a portion of chips.! 😂😂
Nice Hamilton and that Seiko Astron is really nice. 👍🏻👍🏻
Only the crinkliest packing materials for me 🤣 Thanks for watching!
At 2:45 can you set different time in analog and different time in digital? What's the model name
The analog time matches the digital time but I think you can use the world time function to have 2 different times displayed
@addicted_to_watches alright👌 cool
That is definitely an interesting collection of watches my friend. Please review the Credor first. Always admired this brand.
Thanks for watching! I've got a few videos I'm working on already but I'll put the credor up the top of the list 👍

I like that Seiko Astron...it sets itself..?

That Astron is incredibly cool. I wish they were more popular in the US.
The ar on the crystal is nuts as well! Really looking forward to wearing it
I want that Hamilton on a navy blue Artem sail cloth strap... And the off white Seiko on a navy blue crocodile strap.
That first one can be arranged but I'm not sure if I have any blue croc straps at the moment
It would be better to put the watch down and zoom in with your camera so that the watch is not moving around so much.
I am wondering where you purchased these.
Most of these came from mercari and yahoo auctions
This is one amazing haul! Lovely pieces! Cheers from Bengaluru India 🇮🇳
Thanks for watching!
Sheesh! What a great collection! I thought I was a Seiko fanatic!
Thank you! I think if there was ever a case of justifiably being called a "Seiko fanboy" it's probably right here 😅
@addicted_to_watches hey, they've been making quality watches at friendly prices for decades. With great movements! It's easy to fan boy. Lol

That Seiko Ivory dial is beautiful! Anyone know the ref number for it or knows one for sale? Thanks
The factory anniversary model doesn't have a reference number but the other similar one is the SZSB011
@@addicted_to_watches Thanks so much. SO while looking for the same one as yours what shall i call it? What do they go for at the moment? Thanks
The factory anniversary model?
@@addicted_to_watches Alright i'll give it a shot. Cheers.
Great watches! One suggestion - please improve your audio quality as the plastic wrapper’s noise is louder than your voice. Great watches again!
There are some absolutely wonderful watches in this box. For me, the fourth watch has a certain appeal. It’s a classic! Good luck with all of them!
Thank you for watching!
How did you go about getting these shipped at once? Was the a bull sale from a seller in Japan?
I have a friend in Japan who ordered them all separately for me and shipped them to me but there are other platforms and services like Buyee where you could do it
good day,sir do have any site or link that can i odrer like your watches?than you
What’s the second watch model??
It's a SUR345P1
How much is the 2nd watch Seiko in AUD? Model number please.
www.reddit.com/r/Seiko/comments/sm2jxm/4r3504n0_employees_only_exclusive_for_the_50th/?rdt=54169
It has no model number because it was only available to factory employees
Genuinely, how do you find all of these gems?
Spending copious amounts of time looking at the newly listed items on Yahoo auctions and mercari 😅
Please. What is the credor reference??
I haven't been able to find the reference for that one yet but the case/movement number is 9581-5020
Awesome collection brother i like them All quality.
Thanks for watching!
My wallet tells me I should not ask where you buy these watches
Some things are better off left a mystery 🫣🤣
I'm in the same position I would like to know where u bought them..??
This is like watching someone rummage around a car breakers and then after buying a load of part saying they just bought a car.
Me: *says I bought watches from Japan*
Me: *bought watches from Japan*
You: no you didn't
You'll have to explain that one to me champ
@ You bought junk that cannot be verified. And while you try to bait me with your “champ” comment, you failed, I’m not the one telling people you are into watches and then buying rubbish you cannot even verify. Well done 👏.
Verify in what way exactly?
Doesn't seem like I need to bait you anyway, your jimmies are clearly already rustled

Lol ok. You keep doing you and I'll keep doing me. I appreciate you too though 🙌
KuoE, Hamilton anD CREDO definitely the best
hi brothers can someone send me a link so i can buy this haul online
The Credor is pure class, gorgeous. The Hamilton is really cool as well.
Absolutely. I think the credor might be my favourite from the box
Love the Seiko at 6:25. Such a wonderful blend of color between the face and band. 10:55 is a beauty as well!
Couldn't agree more
Splenid seikos and hamilton !
Thank you!
Telling us you got something for a reasonable price is meaningless - what did you pay?
Reasonable is very subjective. What might be reasonable for me could be wildly expensive for you. The point of the video is just to share the pieces, not the prices anyway ;)
@ I agree, it is subjective, so why not just say the price, and let the viewer decide for themselves?
"It ended up being pretty square" - he says while holding rectangular watch
🫣
@addicted_to_watches great channel though, despite the shape dyslexia. Just found it and subscribed. Keep up the good work.
That 4th piece is something!
Swap ya the astron for my limited edition Australian eucalyptus seiko prospex
Thanks for the offer but not really a turtle guy
Niceeeeeeee
Thanks!
An HP watch wtf
The logo looks like hp but it's actually lip
lip.fr/en/
is not HP but LIP (yeah but lettering is confusing) a french brand. If I´m not mistaken, Macron offer one to Biden.
@ You’ve seen the HP logo tho? No?
@@baandoptager is very similar but it is not a hp logo but a lip logo, just google it
Not a single citizen in the bunch.
Unfortunately not. There are a few I'm actively looking for but waiting for bargain prices
Well that’s a huge waste of money
Any watch is a waste of money when we have a phone in our pocket
In reality one watch would be enough, but this is the hobby. Imagine if it was rolex, audemar piget etc. that is the true waste of money
@@addicted_to_watches you’re a philosopher of no merit with a taste in watches like the loser Australian you are. Stay in your box you pathetic little man child. All those watches are pure garbage
I would disagree. These are quite unique and lovely
No, smoking and drinking is a waste of money his hobby is value adding and harmless, infact it is very good for his mental health which is very important for longevity and maintaining his happiness.
Should have gave us zll thé prices.....
