Thank you so much, for sharing your well assembled collection!...
I've watched this video, for at least, 30+ times over, by now...!..love it!
Beautiful collection of great taste. I really like the focus on the "smaller" size, which I find to be the perfect dimension for a watch to look sleek.
Hey William! Congrats on 13K. I LOVE the mido, just got it myself recently thanks to your advice. Keep up the great work man, always look forward to your videos :)
Thanks, really appreciate it! :)
Congrats on a great watch, it's really hard finding anything better under $1000.

Great collection. Congratulations!
Fantastic job - great collection. Its so helpful to see the pieces together - this gives the viewer so much more functional information. I would not sell any of the pieces as each is a true value proposition and a well thought out timepiece - you would lose value by selling. The captain cook is amazing - a true visual stand out. Enjoy. Thanks
Very nice collection, particularly the Mido and Rado.
Excellent pieces! 😊
Be happy with owning what you have, it’s your collection and a nice one. Take your time with the next newest
Hey William, thanks for another great watch video. Superb video quality, well narrated with interesting insights. Looking forward to your Captain Cook review!
Thank you!

GAW
Very tasteful collection. That Mido is very classy.
You have a very interesting collection.
With the exception of the Alpinist you have managed to stay away from the common suspects and create a very versatile group of watches.
I love the two Lord Seiko and the Mido Baroncelli is one of my favorite models, although I prefer the black one, as you say it is a lot of watch for that price; and that Rado Captain Cook is so sweet.
If I were you, I would not sell a single one; Maybe, just maybe, the Ginault, is a model that you can recover without much trouble if you decide that you miss it, and with that money you could buy a chronograph, which I think is something that your collection needs.
Beautiful collection - really nice taste.
Nice collection. Very entertaining video! 👍
Nice collection man!
Great video, if it was my collection I think the first watch and Christopher ward watch would go . The rado and Hamilton are awesome and that zodiac and Captain cook are amazing sir. My collection isn't as high quality but I enjoy keeping these little machines going . I want a vintage watch next.
Would be great if you could update the description with the list. ;)

That's it. That's the one. I've been looking for a dress watch for under $750 that ticks all of the boxes: minimalist design, 3-hand automatic movement with a date window, less than 40mm in diameter, less than 10mm thick, 20mm lug width, and an anti-reflective sapphire crystal.
I've been looking through so many watches: The Orient Bambino/Orient Star, Hamilton Intra-matic, Tissot Everytime Swissmatic, Junkers Bauhaus, Kent Wang V3, some Seiko Pressage/Cocktail models, etc. Many of them would come close, but none of them ticked all of the boxes.
Thanks for introducing me to that Mido. You've got a new subscriber.
No problem, glad you found a watch you like.
Mido Baroncelli is a very impressive watches, but not many people know about. Let me know if you end up getting one.

Might I suggest picking up a vintage omega seamaster ? It looks absolutely gorgeous with a beautiful patina.
I am glad to see your collection. I mean I am really happy. No Rolex or Omega or any of the more expensive watch's. I have nothing against them, but myself being retired I do not have that kind of income. Most people are showing the more expensive stuff. I do have some to play with up to $500us. It is just nice to see average people watch's. There are a bunch of us retired types that meet and compare our watchs and we have a great time. Thank you. Your most enjoyable.
Very nice collection indeed: most tateful, non show-off timepieces, congratulations! :-)Thx for sharing.
Thanks! :)

GAW
It would be nice if you could list these in the video description above. Nice collection!
Excellent collection. Very There is a lot consistant with the spirit of this chanel. There is a lot of marvelous watches in the low and mid-tier segments of the watch industry and they are wrongfully overlooked. Thanks for the video.
Thanks you!
Yes exactly , there are a lot of great watches under $1k. Most of my watches are well below that price point, and most if not all offers great value. You don't have to spend 5k to get a great watch.
Regards
GAW
A lovely collection my friend.
Thanks man!

GAW
May I know where the leather straps on Seiko Lord are from? They look great!
In the beginning the alpinist is the only watch, that is still ticking. Maybe because it have enough power reserve 😃
Nice presentation, Rado is the leader
Christopher Word logo bothers me too much to even consider this watch. Very nice collection. I want to see a video of all the watches you have owned featuring pictures sold watches...
great collection ilove them
I didn't get what's the brand of the first watch. Any help?
Very nice collection, thanks for sharing.
Lovely collection,especially the Rado .I'd sell the Chr.Ward & Hamilton & get a chrono & flieger. 👍👍
If you like homages try Phoibos. It is by far the best price value proposition.
Hi William,
Great video! Do you think you can do a review on the Rado Captain Cook? Really love the watch and cannot wait to see your review on it! Thanks!
Thanks man!
The review of the Captain Cook will be out soon!
Regards
GAW
Awesome collection! I just got a Lord matic 5601 with the original beads of rice bracelet! The lord matics are just as nice as king seikos in my opinion. I have owned two king seikos and the only big thing is their angular cases. The king seiko cases are very attractive
Thanks man!
Congrats on a great watch. Lord Matics are really nice. Great value for money. Almost KS quality but cheaper. I do think KS are a step up in quality though. Better finishing as you said, and the crown on most KS are a lot better looking/easier to use then on most LM.
Apart from the Christopher ward you have a very good collection and have all your bases covered.
And all of them being so affordable
that mido is the best, its so simple, thats gonna my next watch . ..
Excellent collection 👌🏼. Well rounded and full of quality. Congrats on 13k.
If you’re going to sell any of your timepieces William I would say let it be the Christopher Ward and the Zodiac. The Rado and Ginault are beautiful watches, so having a 3rd diver is redundant. Same goes for the C Ward since you already have the Mido and Hamilton.
Thank you, really appreciate it!
Yes that was my thinking as well. I have already sold them actually. Both are great watches, but it's a shame having both just sittning in the box.
Regards
GAW
Nice collection, well done. I can appreciate somebody building after their own taste and being happy about it, without some of the 'classics' in every other watch box. I'm not a fan of homages though, so personally I would loose the Ginault and get a watch with its own personality. No chrongraph? Maybe a vintage one...
would have been my personal picks, congrats!
what do u think about thomas earnshaw watched? i know its chinese and all but i have one from 350 that i bought for 85
Damn why is the Rado 37mm or 45mm. How about something in the middle Mido. I have really been considering the Dagaz or maybe one of the Hamilton khaki watches a review from you would probably help. I really like your collection- I may have to copy you on a couple of them lol
Nah 37mm is perfect
really enjoyed this collection ! :) what is the strap on the Alpinist ? thanks
Thanks man! :)
Here is the strap:

Nice collection, I love it! I’m loving that Zodiac for the money that’s a cool diver . If you sell it I’m interested
Thanks man!
Yeah the Zodiac is a great watch, one of the better divers in that price range.
Keep an eye on Ebay, I know you can sometimes find them for a really good price there.

GAW
Great collection,.congrats..I have a question about the sarb017 alpinist,just picked up one new,but it seems running slow alo t ,about 27 sec/24 hr, do you think it's still normal?how about yours?thank s
My Alpinist for several weeks has averaged ten seconds slow per day.
Great collection! What strap do you have on your Alpinist?
Thanks!
Got a link to it in the description.
Regards
GAW
Lovely private collection. I love the Zodiac and the Ginualt. Both are watches to keep forever!!!!
Hi which types of watches you wear regularly
What clasp do you have on the Mido dress watch? Love it
It's an original Christopher Ward deployant clasp. Best clasp i have ever owned, can highly recommend them! :)
Regards
GAW
Wait a moment... Are you Santiago Santiago? Same voice haha
Great collection!
What about selling Christopher Ward and add a chronograph or GMT? As it looks similar to Hamilton and I think Intramatic is more classy and timeless.
Thanks!
Great suggestion. A Speedmaster or a nice vintage chrono around $1k is very tempting.
Regards
GAW
I would add an automatic chronograph and GMT watch to the collection.
Who puts a diver on a leather strap?
Is your Mido an older one? It seems that Baroncelli is 6.95mm tall and uses a base grade 2892. Not 6.75mm and top grade.
Here is the product page www.midowatches.com/au/swiss-watches-collections/classic-watch-baroncelli/baroncelli-heritage-gent-m0274071601000
What strap is that on the sarb017?
A Christopher Ward strap. I think they are still selling them.
Regards
GAW
Nice collection, why sell. Keep and enjoy them.
What happened to your lamberti chronograph?
I Sold it a while ago. It was a great chrono, but a little to big for my taste.
Regards
GAW
I’ll buy the sarb 017
Nice collection. I would think that some pieces are redundant. The Rado, you like so much, covers the Ginault and the Zodiac purposes. The Hamilton might be redundant with the Mido, the Christopher Ward and the Seikos. Have you thought about slim down and diversifying? That could be interesting. An Omega, a Tudor, a Multifort Mido -less dressy and more sporty-. Just my thought, but great collection and definitely nice Seikos!
Very nice, that ocean rover is gorgeous, get rid of the CW, U Clearly are not happy with it.
Thanks but why dont you reply email querries?
I think a Doxa would compliment your collection nicely.
Paul and Sue Roberts Holy words guys. 1200t Sharkhunter and you'll be a KING.
The Thunderbolt and the Rado, thrash the rest ‼️‼️‼️
Would you recommend a fossil watch?
If you can find an automatic Fossil under $100, it's probably worth it.
Regards
GAW
No casio?? I don't know man. That collection is suspect without at least 1 casio of some sort
Hej William.
This is Thomas.
Thomas Wallblom go back to the train station
MrAbdhalla lol
Hamilton looks too retro. I prefer the vintage Seiko as dress watches/ Maybe you can sell the Hamilton and get some vintage Seiko without date / day? The Rolex sub homage looks nicer than most homages, but you do not really need. The Dagaz is nice but in between a true pilot and a field watch / explorer.
I'd get a Stowa, a Sinn or a Laco. You also need a quartz / solar. Love my Citizen Promaster BN0150 solar. easy to tell the time right away.
Swedish ? ... :)
I thought he was German, but it turns out he is Swedish!
The problem of having 10 watches,...........what!..........You're not a collector mate, I've got 82.
If you like homages try Phoibos. It is by far the best price value proposition.
