Was really cool to see where your collection is at. I always enjoy these types of videos the most. I loved that vintage omega you had, so sad to see it go. I say save the 400. Everything you would get with it wouldn’t bring anything to the table that wasn’t already being covered by your seikos and your CWC IMO. Awesome video though man!
Thanks Teddy. I think you’re right about saving the money. Spending it will only put me further away from a watch I really want.
Cheers, Adrian
Bark and Jack I'm in a similar position thinking about my next two watches. I have my eye on a Batman and a 58. I'm also really drawn to the new Cartier Santos 39mm.- of the 3 what would go for (if availability is no issue)
That omega was sick! I feel like the speedmaster would be an awesome replacement for it
Can never do too many explorer videos! I’d be more than happy to see another
Love these videos...your candor and knowledge is refreshing.
Thanks for sharing, I love watches and love to see other people talking passionately about their own collection. I enjoy your videos, keep up the good work and glad to see you're not a snob about cheaper brands and quartz movements.
I love these STOC videos...It is very cool to see what you have in your collection and why. Oddly, I am in the same place I have ~$400 and really want to spend but I have decided to wait and get something of higher value. Thank you for another excellent video...I can't believe how much the channel has grown this year - Congratulations Adrian and Happy New Year :)
Great channel, been here for a while and have loved seeing it grow!
Barking Mad! Happy New Year Adrian. Cheers mate. 🍺😀
Excellent to see where your collection is right now mate!👌🏻. Love it! Great vid as always buddy!
Tc Adrian!
Hisham.
Over the new year I have sold my Omega P.O. for a 36mm Explorer. You videos tipped me over the edge and it's arriving tomorrow... excited!!!
I’ve had my BB58 for just over a month now and I’ve worn it every day since. I absolutely love it!
It was my first proper watch which I bought to celebrate my 21st and I will never get rid of it. Problem is, it’s fuelled a watch obsession and I can’t stop looking at Rolex’s!
Nice video man. I love the production quality, really top notch.
Great vid Adrian!
I never tire of 14270 vids, please don't hesitate to make another one!
Happy New Year Adrian! I truly appreciate the honest and genuine thoughts you share with us. Like you, I have a family and must always be mindful of how much money I spend on my watches. I am saving for a Speedmaster Pro, and am constantly tempted to pickup other cheaper pieces, no more so than when my local Seiko AD had a 40% off sale before Christmas! I say be strong and save your £400 for the Tudor. You obviously love it, and after losing the Harrods watch, I think you owe it to yourself. Enjoy the new house!
Recently bought a new Explorer, based in part on your recommendation, absolutely love it. Does not draw much attention, which I like. That and the SARB 033 (beater version of Explorer) get by far the most wrist time are are very similar in design. The Batman is my Grail, hope to get one in 2019.
Keep up the good work, your channel is very entertaining and informative, especially for a watch geek like me! Going to miss the London shots!
You’re awesome. Good stuff. Thanks for the Explorer 1 vid. Very insightful.
Great collection. Thanks for sharing!
Really cool editing and beautiful collection. Congrats on the new house my man!
Loved the video and what a collection!
Dream!
That's a heck of a collection. I've always enjoyed the Explorer. I think it's a great piece that IS able to do everything. Great video!!!
Happy new year Adrian, just started my new year off with a new by metal Daytona with a white dial. First Rolex in the collection and love it. R
Nice video. Completely agree with you about the Explorer. Feel the same about mine and it gets the most wrist time of any of my small collection. Classic design, sits and feels great on the wrist. Happy New Year to you and looking forward to you reaching 100,000 subscribers (which your channel deserves).
Happy New Year Adrian
Another great video, Adrian. Thank you.
I recently watched one of your earlier videos where you promoted the idea of buying the watch you really want, not the watch you can afford today and is sort-of like the one you really want (the approach I am now following in my collection) so my advice is to hold out for the BB58.
Great video...enjoyed it. Keep up the good work.
Mike
Great video, Adrian. Save for the BB58, I got mine just before the holidays and liked it so much I sold my BB Red 41mm. The BB58 is the perfect size and thickness. Cheers
Hi Adrian,
Great video and thanks for reviewing your collection.
Regards
Adrian
Sell the Kermit dear god and keep that batman. You made it clear that the kermit was an investment and you bought the batman for the love of it. AD is going to be pissed if they see this🤣😂✌
Gunning for an explorer 1 as well. Subbed. Please keep the great content flowing and best of luck with the move (and the car). :)
My "one watch collection" is an Oyster Perpetual white face 39mm. IMO it's simple, elegant, classic, versatile, symmetrical, no thrills/complications... Perfect for my everyday watch - I love it 👌🏼
Congratulations on the house purchase! You won't regret moving out of London. I moved out of SE London last year and now live in Kent. I honestly feel like I could walk around with my Seamaster and no will will bat an eyelid! Hope the move goes well. Happy New Year.
Where can I get one of those leather/calf carry pouches you show in one of the last stills on this vid?
As always nice video and thanks for being one of the few guys who loves Rolex for the time peaces they do and not for their brand name and status they supposedly give. Beside that you have a nice collection and wait form being able to get the black bay, I was so happy when I got my BBB that is worth the wait. I tried and bought a c60bronze telling myself it's bronze it's cheap...but yeah I was much happier and satisfied when I resold it and got my BBB. And I have watches I use only 2 or 3 times a year, but I bough the for special occasions so selling them would mean loose the memory of why I bought them. Watches are with us for a long time, and that moment when we first bought it can't be replaced with the same model if we rebuythem back. Like your polar Rolex, u can buy another but will never be that polar u first bought...and will always remind u of that..that memory that feeling.
Don't let strangers tell you what to keep or collect. Nice SOTC
Thanks buddy. 🍻
Nice presentation of your collection! I enjoyed this video.
Congrats on the new home mate, totally deserved
I like what you sold and I like what you're still holding......excellent selections.
Explorer 1 is the best ! I have it on Everest leather brown strap . My favorite ! Happy new year btw Sir😀
Fantastic collection!
Great video by the way, very interesting
Keep the 400 my friend. Your collection covers almost every situation and any incoming pieces will have a tough time dislodging that beautiful Explorer. BTW, every time you pull up that Explorer, it makes me wanna go get one!
Great collection and I love the car references! I say sell the Kermit if necessary, and let yourself enjoy the Batman! Happy New Year and I wish you more success in 2019.

I tend to give low value watches like Seiko 5s, SKX's and G-shocks to charity shops if I find I'm not wearing them anymore. Reduces clutter in the watch box, less wasteful and in the end provides a benefit for someone.
Excellent video. I’d say keep the money for something you really want. Also, I hope you’ll wear that customised Seiko SNXS77. That watch looks so, so cool with the Arabic dial.
Great video👍
Hey Adrian :) happy New year! Love your collection! Personally, as someone who loves preserving things I find nothing wrong with safe queen watches 😂 don't get me wrong, I love then on my wrist! Idk, personally to have something just to admire and pass on is just as much a joy to me somehow haha. But this is coming from a guy who likes polishing his shoes more than wearing them so 🤷🏽♂️
Nice collection Adrian I’ve got a few I don’t really wear the sea dweller 50th anniversary
Tudor Harrods
Seiko sbdx017 I’m sure I will use them more at some point regards the bb58 I would definitely hang on to buy that or see what happens at basel all the best for 2019 and good luck with the move
Great review and nice collection. It’s great to see a realistic collection from a normal bloke. I saw on your insta you looked at the Vertex m100... will there be a video coming?
I really love the channel - new find! Why did you sell the Omega and why was it so cheap? 'You're killing me smalls'. All jokes aside keeping bringing the content!
I love watches and coffee. I’d love to hear more about the coffee you drink. How you brew, favorite bean, etc.
Hi Tony, thanks for watching buddy. I need to learn more about coffee before I talk about it. I still just use a nespresso machine. Cheers, Adrian
Nice collection. 🔥
Great video
Very good collection, from the Rolex to the CXC and of course the Seiko. Always cool to enjoy unexpensive quartz watches, too.
Flip the Kermit before the bubble bursts and knock £10,000 off the mortgage capital, the savings in interest payments will be huge
It won't burst. Lets come back to this comment in 3 years time?
Spot on m8
It will burst .
I purchased a PAM pre-owned for $1200 bucks during the 2007 burst.
I still have the watch and it is still kicking .
The Rolex will cost around $3500-$5k.
I agree there is def a bubble but how far it will grow and when it will burst who knows. I think Instagram has got a lot of newbies into Rolex's including myself
@@lonewolf30531 i hope you're right
Cool video. Yes your explorer is the dogs dangly bits! Ok,I had overcollected(nothing in the value range of those) but stripped back because I was and still only wear 2 or 3 and enjoy wearing again now the choice has thinned out! I think too much choice the fun goes a bit?Cheers,Len.
Great video as usual , how about some more micro brands in the collection , I have around 20 watches and the majority our micro brands Baltic , Dan Henry , Steinhart and similar ?
Nice collection. I love that vintage omega. I might be spending some time on eBay soon...
Very nice collection indeed. 👌🏻
Go for the Tudor Blackbay 58 This is an amazing quality made watch for the money. I recently bought one from AD The size and look of this watch are perfect
I have 6 watches so far (all being well I will also have a Tudor BB58 in about 3 months) and I pretty much alternate them every other day lol. Have a Bremont Solo (black face), Omologato Maranello, Seiko Sk007 (after watching your vid last year), Seiko chronograph (as I can’t afford/ get a Daytona- white face with shiny blue text! V nice), suunto sports watch, shameless cheap Rolex look Tevise £21! Lol and it gets so much love from people it’s crazy! People think I am crazy with all these watches but ladies have different jewellery and people have lots of different clothes....it’s no different! Keep up the work in 2019! Hope move goes ok! Look forward to the car videos! Lol
Exactly, women have their jewellery boxes why not us guys having several watches? I've had as many as five at one time, but for me, I was a little crazy trying to figure out what to wear. So I traded and sold a few now down to only a Sea-Dweller, the old style 2002 model, and a 2010 Daytona. I do the strap changing to feel a different watch on my wrist.
Would loooooove a Daytona!
Save up for the 58! Happy New Year.
Love your collection wear them in good health
Thanks for showing us your collection! My next purchase, once I save up enough money and will be able to spend this much on a watch, will be the Hamilton H70455533 Automatic Khaki Field watch! I love the 38mm size and how versatile it can be in different attire and with different straps.
Keep saving for the BB58 it’s worth the wait. My collection consists of 30 pieces and I’ve been collecting for about 30 years. I wear them all and will only sell a piece if I feel it just doesn’t suit me and I can’t bond with it. Happy New Year!
Hi Adrian, happy new year. I quite enjoy your videos. Keep it up. I did a personal 'stock take' to see what i purchased in 2018...turned out to be 17 watches...which is kind of a lot. Problem is I don't sell anything and I really should. I'd imagine 2019 to be fewer in quantity especially since I am holding out for a 116519LN or 116515LN. No stock even for these references. I've expressed interest at the ADs for the BLNR (amongst other novelties from Rolex)...for 2 years now since the supply shortage. Still no joy though I could walk into a grey dealer and pick one up today. Was happy for you to get the call for your BLNR and the Harrod's BB...and sad that you had to sell off the BB and possibly the BLNR. Hope you don't have to but if you do, I'd be interested. Would've been interested in the Harrods edition too...but again, gotta save the funds for a Daytona... Check me out on IG at 0_kewl and witness the illness that is WIS.
Hi Adrian, love your videos, and leave that 400 where it is!!
I have an Ss Daytona, hulk and batman purchased from AD’s over the years and wear them on rotation. Yes the value has gone up which is great but who cares these watches are meant to be worn.
Totally agree with you both, I have several SS sports Rolex’s and I’ve not bought them as investments, that’s secondary, I wear them every day, and have no intention to sell, they will be passed to my kids.
The thing I’m fascinated by is Adrian has openly said he sold the Harrods Tudor the day after purchasing, and sort of has that in mind for the batman, he’s not worn it and it’s there to make him money. Given the AD’s are doing all they can to put these watches in the hands of people that will love and wear them and not run strait out and make money on them, I suspect he’s burnt those bridges with the AD’s if they see this. I appreciate they are his watches and he is at liberty to sell if he desires, but given how many people want these to wear, I think he’ll now find it harder to purchase in the future.
I expected to see a GS on your collection. Very nice watches and totally agree about the Explorer.
Great video as usual. I’m Thinking of the BB Green though they are about £1,300 over list if I was to buy from Watchfinder. Just not sure if I can justify that but it’s a stunner!!!
The BB 58 looked awesome on your wrist - I think you should get one for sure!
Great video, our tastes are aligned. I love the explorers and submariners, and the black bay 58 is way closer to perfect as a dive watch than the subs are anymore, or the other black bays.
Ok...I like this watch channel as well the others I watch, so thanks, Adrian. But who are Bark & Jack?
Agree about the explorer, understated rugged elegance
What platform do you use to sell your watches? Just wondering what people are using.Good content, keep it up!
Admire the fact that you have a very manageable collection . So many of us go down the route of shipping in and flipping , perhaps a bit of a buying addiction. I really want to break that habit and enjoy the great watches I have ., hopefully I will refrain from buying this year . New expensive cars really cut into the watch funds , I know from recent experience , but gives another dimension to boys and their toys though! Good luck with your move ....
Very Nice Collection sir 👍👍👍
Great video! I had to sell 2 Rolexes in order to buy a house so I felt the pain you are trying to avoid. I sold a GMT Batman like yours (gulp) and a white dial ceramic Daytona (double gulp). Obviously logically house is a better investment than a couple of watches but emotionally it was tough to take. Really hope you can do the move and keep your Rolexes. I just got a Tudor Fifty Eight and I agree with you it’s a dream watch and for the price you can’t beat it. Good luck with the move!
Leave the pot. Let it grow.
Also, I love your channel! I look forward to your investing video.
You won't miss London.
It's hard to get a safety deposit box outside of London and they aren't as accessible.
I'd recommend getting a quality safe fitted at home (high theft and fire resistance). Put it somewhere out of the way (in the loft) and fixed to a wall. Chuck watches on the home insurance and you should be fine.
You'll probably wear the safe queen's a bit more then 😉
-------
I sold my Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 42mm. Had it in 2008 for 2 years. Made £500 on it and at 21 c£2k was a big help towards first watch deposit. I do miss that watch every now and again, but don't regret my decision. Family first.
Hope the move goes well.
watch or house deposit?
I would always suggest keeping the $$ and letting it grow to get something you really want. That being said, if you're missing one thing here it's a formal dress watch. What about a late 60's or early 70's King or Grand Seiko? If you get one with the 'chronometer' dial you have a watch with great history for about $700-$1000 USD. I have a 1969 King Seiko with the chronometer dial. I hardly ever wear it, too many other options in the collection, but I love staring at it in my watch box. It's also a conversation piece if a watch person sees it and asks about it; talk leads down the path of 1960's Japanese arrival into the watch game and the ensuing shenanigans.
Bought one of your NATO’s for my 2018 seamaster. Gonna be wearing it through my naval basic training so I need it to be tough. The nylon and hardware look like they will do the job!
That's awesome to hear man! Congrats on getting in and good luck.
Happy New Year Adrian, good luck with the house move. Don’t sell any of the a Rolex if you can, it would be great to keep them. I have many watches in my collect and don’t ware but they all have special meaning to me in one way or another so I wouldn’t want to part with them. I have the Rolex explore 2 and it’s a great watch however I gave it to me son when we went off to university and he loves it.
Maybe trade the SKX007 for a SKX013. The size for me is great
I think you should definitely consider the Speedmaster Professional. There’s something about it that makes it feel similar to your Explorer I when you wear it. Just a great everyday watch that goes perfectly with any and every strap.
Enjoying your channel and lack of pretention if that's a word
I'm not a Rolex guy, at all, but I'm tempted by the explorer's in the range......ohh, what to do.
Wait 4 weeks and if you still feel the same way, then you might actually like the watch rather than how you're reacting to other people blushing.
Glad to hear that that U R getting the Hell out of London. 😀❤🇬🇧
Great collection buddy, like every piece and totally understand you did sell the BB and thinking about the Batman go, family first👍🏻
Don’t get the speedy, fro me it was the opposite, I sold the 14060m as I had the speedy in my collection and they were sort of similar.
You Explorer is your edc watch and the speedy, well, I think it wouldn’t get too much wrist time.
Have a great Sunday Adrian, cheers, Konstantin 🙏🏻
I know this might be a bit late but what you can do with the seiko is you can buy a cheap oyster steel bracelet from aliexpress and then replace the strap on the seiko with that. It gives it a lovely rolex datejust / explorer vibe and i cant help but think that would top it off for that watch
You're out of the grey NATO! When will there be more? Keep up the great content!
When are the 22 mm nato straps arriving? I also have pieces that I don’t wear yet but I will in the future.
What does bark and Jack stand for? And what kind of camera equipment do you use
Hey Adrian.
Happy new year.
What happened to the Oris Divers 65? Was it just a loan?
If you’re considering the Hamilton Khaki hand wind, I’d highly suggest that you go for it. It’s an awesome little watch, it would sit somewhere nicely between your Explorer and CWC.
Great video as always. Still enjoying my BB36 but should have followed your advice in your explorer v BB36 vid and got the explorer. I will at some point!. Do think the other Rolexes a bit much and attract too much attention.Explorer definitely the only watch a man needs every day. A far classier and subtler classic than a sub
Happy New Year Adrian. Congratulations on your new property hope everything goes to plan and you don’t have to sell any watches.
I try to rotate the watches in my collection by wearing a different watch every day. Like you I have some I never wear but are worthless (almost) so they stay. I have a few quid spare about the same as you but thought I would upgrade my iPad which I use 99% of the time ( to watch You Tube), so that’s what I have just done. When I sell the old one I will be saving for a Damasko, trying to steer myself away from Seiko and Microbrands plus I have an extension to fund and would like a new car before the end of the year! Hey ho 😕
Love this collection. I sometimes wish I had moved some pieces back when the kermit was "affordable" but I don't think I would be wearing it either. I have an old Heuer Autavia GMT 2446c that I don't wear much, but want to hang on to .. so I can relate :)
Have a look at the Hamilton Khaki field mechanical. I have the brown dial one, I think I actually showed you it at the redbar Glasgow event. Well worth the money. Ps. Your straps look great on it.
Seems to me you’re in a very good place with your collection. It’ll be interesting to see what happens in 2019 and beyond. But of course, family comes first.
Thanks David. I really hope I get to add a BlackBay 58 or Explorer II to the collection this year.
Cheers, Adrian
Bark and Jack My expectation (hope?) is that Rolex will fit all of its steel sport watches with the new 3200 Series Caliber. So 2019 may turn out to be quite interesting.
As a speedy owner I would say get one. You have no chronograph in the collection. Keep up the good work. Happy new year
I watched this video earlier today.. The part where one of your watches fell to the floor I was like “Oh my.. :o”
Later on, I had my Farer Universal GMT laying on my bed temporarily, because I had to do some stuff where I didn’t want to wear it. A few hours pass and I want a nap. Completely forgotten that the watch was there, so jumped into bed and yup.. Watch went to the floor.
Man, you cursed me! Hahaha
Adrian...... £450 would get you that Casio G Shock All Metal Squared!!! Toying on getting that as a beater watch :-)
Got my first subscriber!!!
