Building a 4-Watch Collection On the Spot (at my AD)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- They let me loose at the Seattle TimeWorks store. A new watch store staffed by watch enthusiasts. So I challenged my AD to a contest to see who can build a better 4-watch collection.
Vote on the BEST collection: www.watchcrunch.com/Max/posts/my-ad-is-cooler-than-yours-39952
A great dual but I have to say the store guy crushed it. So great to see someone selling watches who actually knows his stuff. Nice :)
He knows his stuff
Totally agree!
His collezione was killer 👌
Seemed like a chill guy with a sense of humor too. Great video man!
Gabe definitely won, but im shocked there was not a single rotating bezel on either collection.
Gabe was a great ambassador for the store!
Fosho 👍
A speedy and a grand Seiko? Your collection is the winner. Easy.
Haha thanks 🙏
Store guy FTW! It was nice to see the banter between the two of you. Maybe invite this lovely enthusiast back for more videos 😊
Finally a watch shop I could go to. University place is tough though with the crime nowadays. Most of the time when you go to malls your selection's pretty limited
Love this. My home store! I've been here a half dozen times or so. Have my eye on the Oris Big Crown Roberto Clemente edition. The SBGM221 + the Speedy for just above 10k is such a KILLER 1-2 watch combo. Personally I give this face-off to Max.
“You’re a fancy boy, I like that!”😂 Brilliant Max!
The IWC in green makes my naughty parts tingle. With the Evolution 9, too. What a two watch collection right there.
🍆🍆
Glad to see timeworks getting some love! My go to shop in Seattle! Love those guys!
Fun video, very enjoyable.
Max, this was a great and fun episode. Keep up the great work!
The collection Max made is exactly what I’d go for… especially if I could keep the Aquaterra in there. Max FTW!!
Cool concept by Benbridge! I am bummed I missed the opening of this place :-(
This feels really familiar, but where's that red strap rich guy from Shark's Den?
Utilizing this store’s options, I would go Hamilton Intramatic Automatic Chrono Panda $2K retail(Chronograph), Longines Zulu Time GMT 39mm on the bracelet Slate gray/green bezel $3150(GMT), Omega Aqua Terra 150m blue face crock strap 41mm $5400(dress), Grand Seiko Spring Drive Diver SBG461 steel and steel bracelet $6100(diver). Total $16,650
I live 5 mins from the UVillage. Didn’t even know the is place existed. I’m visiting this place tomorrow!
It's a bit hidden in the middle
What a great time! The IWC green is a showstopper! I need some color in my dials!
Whoever got the Grand Seiko GMT was going to win. That watch is special.
Enjoyed the hands on watch tour, entertaining!
Love the vid, Gabe is a good guy)
He's the man!
Awesome Vid! Both selections were good. In the spirit of the competition, going to have to give it to Gabe (although that speedy was my favorite even if cliché)
Both great efforts, but I am a sucker for dive watches. While the Gshocks will get’er done, they lack the satisfying click of the unidirectional bezel. So, my vote is that you have to do it again!
😂
Great watches….I personally would mix the two up a bit.
Starting with your collection, I would exchange your G-Shock square with the Mud-master, and your Grand Seiko with the IWC Mk XX 👍😊
What’s the reference for the white dial aqua terra Max picked?
The IWC looks basic and amazing at the same time.
Speedmaster and Grand Seiko what a couple!
Cheers 👍
Yeah the guy that works there definately won, no question.
What was the background music?
Wish our Time works here in Honolulu had decent service like that
I hope someone calls me a fancy boy some day
This watch store rocks !
very nice video. Small correction: titanium is not considered to be a precious metal.
Great video and great watches! Asian representation 🙌
U-Village!
What a great video❤
Store guy wins.
from this store, i think my anchor would be the longines zulu time
Nice content..Loved this video..
Have you seen the white/silver dial Mark XX yet?
Not yet!
Sorry Max, for me Gabe takes the win
The Globemaster wins it, sorry!
I loved that one 😢
Fun, fun, fun!
For me it would hands down be Max’s collection.
Thanks Miguel!
Do they sell any Rolex ?
The Ben bridge downtown does
Nooo, don't get rid of the aqua terra
😢
Watch porn, feeding the addiction.
I think you lost.
waste of time 👎👎👎
Feel better soon buddy
Gabe is the best! Glad to see him and the Timeworks crew getting some attention. It's true, the crew there really do know watches.
Gabe knows his stuff 👍
Most watch places I would feel uncomfortable going to because of my appearance but I feel like I would be right at home in this place
I’d have to say the sale person crushed it. I’d love to have a store like this in my area. Great duel in a 4 watch budget.
He looks like a redditor forced to wear a suit and interact with people
It's always fun to do these, but titanium a precious metal? Definitely not.
I was there in May and I can say the staff were watch people. I wore a vintage Omega watch and it was a pleasure discussing a wide range of watches.
The Kevin O'Leary comment on "collection" had my rolling 😂
The green IWC was the best pick of the day by far
I agree, I would have to pick the store guy's collection 1)IWC Mark XX 2) Grand Seiko SBGE285 3) Casio Mudmaster and 4) Longines Flagship. Btw- I learned something in this video. It appears the IWC Mark XX (green dial) is now available at ADs (versus a boutique item only). This must have just happened.
Literally just happened a few weeks ago. Let's hope the Ingenuir (sp) does the same
Wow, being close to Seattle, I think I'll need to put this place on by radar. This is quite neat. Also the staff member's pick for the globemaster was stunning!
The Globemaster was a great call
We are the winners for showing us all the great watches.
Thanks guys.
Cheers Luke 👍
The IWC Mark XX in green 🥵💯💥
The store worker won for sure. The red Casio wtf - fashion nightmare. The Grand Seiko dress piece has a ghastly maroon strap and just looks bad. The Hamilton has a ghastly greenish fungus color and the speedmaster with its sunken hand-wound crown is completely unusable from a practical standpoint. Chad store worker vs virgin WatchCrunch
I think having something out of left field makes it more interesting. If everybody's collećtions are just mute and conventional it's gonna be fairly boring. If I see someone has a speedmaster or Rolex sub, I wouldn't look twice because that's always the safest choice.
cant wait to see more of these types of video great to watch
Thanks!
The TimeWorks Seattle crew is awesome.
We all win when there are cool shops like this that still exist. But head to head, you take the crown on this one. And I voted with t my wallet because I have 3 of the 4 you chose 😊
Cheers 👍
Great Video. Gabe really knew what he was talking about.
Enjoyed the challenge and the variety of watches available!
Any watch video Kevin is in, it exudes snobbery. Gives the watch community a bad reputation. Thats why i really enjoy your content. No snobbery at all, just love for watches. Keep it up my man. Created an account on WC a couple months ago and i absolutely love the app. Ive learned so much. Keep going!
One of these collabs with Teddy would be legendary!
Let's go!
Great selections by both! I'd go with Hamilton 38 Murph: $870, Omega Seamaster 300 Heritage: $6,700, Grand Seiko SBGY011: $8,100, and Longines Spirit: $3,050
I would swap the murph for an oris pointer date but that was pretty much my list
I live in Seattle and love visiting TimeWorks and talking to Gabe. He is super helpful and loves to talk watches and let me try on all my faves.
Love your contents, no snobbery, keeping it real for true enjoyment of watch collecting. Please keep up the great work!
Cheers bud
Interesting take. Enjoyed watching this. You should do this with more shops if you can!
Awesome episode. Max won hehe
I've got to find a place like this - watches and no jewelry. That would be SOOO refreshing!
Didn't know IWC had launched the Mark XX in green. It's breathtaking.
Very pretty 😍
Up until recently it was boutique only
Love these videos
Thanks 😊
Rate my new collection?
Im pretty new to watches but i have 4 as of now and looking for my 5th 1-tissot prx with custom dial 2- seiko presage with a blue dial 3 zelos starfighter chronograph with aventurine dial 4- baltic MR01 salmon dial. And I'm looking to get a green omega seamaster with a rubber strap to finish off the collection. :)
I'm gonna go with Watch Crunch option. That Omega White dial pops and had my eye at my AD. I can't buy anything for a while though. Just bought a Vacheron Constantin and Rolex Datejust 41 Mother of Pearl before Rolex quietly took it off the website.
Killer choices gents! I’m a sucker for that GS Mistflake too… What a fun episode
Yeah, that misty is a highlight 😀
Max, its great to see Timeworks watch store BUT I would of rather seen a video browsing the store cases highlighting some great pieces from each brand or in each display. Please don't imitate Teddy... you're better than that 😉, do it different... 🙂 do it better! 😁👍
My man.... since your budget is far more substantial than mine, I hope you enjoy the shit outta of everyone of those watches I'll never attain.... cool vid BTW!
Great video, sbge285, globemaster, ... and a gshock
This is a world I just don't think I'll ever get to know
Bought my first G-Shock at this store. Great experience but it's dangerous having such a nicely stocked AD so close-by!
Wow store worker won for sure!! I think he was being nice and took the GS GMT. I wonder what he would’ve picked instead
A store for watch enthusiasts? Nonsense. They stock only a few of the most obvious boring brands. No knowledge needed
Amazing video quality! I can really tell that you are always improving and it’s fun to watch!
Thank you!
Not really into the stuff the gets hyped by the watch community but this was definitely an interesting and fun idea 💪😃👍
A very nice shop and two great collections, but for me Max wins. That Speedy is soooo good looking 🤩
Thanks Andrea!
Sorry Max, think you lost this one.
Hamilton Khaki Titanium is my go-to watch! Great value for the money!
That SBGX261 is just excellent…
I like the idea but i wasnt a fan of going brand by brand
You know I love you and your video content, Max, but this round goes to Gabe (in my most humble opinion!)
Gabe the goat 🐐
how's titanium a precious metal?
Budget friendly king is Longines 🤔?
Awesome vid just fix the echo on the mic
For IWC it's GOT to be a Portugiser imo
Oh man… both so good. I don’t know if I can choose.
The store worker has an awesome choice!
Gabe is a boss
The shop needs Tudor and some others
