Great episode and a very thoughtful collector. I've never seen Tim fawn over a watch so much as that Cellini...And not letting it go haha. It must have been special.
I like the "years-of-service" watches. Some say this devalues a watch to have an inscription for, say, "To so-and-so in appreciation for 25 years service...such-and-such company and such-and-such date". I like them. I have a 1957 Rolex OP 6564 myself that has an inscription on the back to a gentleman for 25 years service from Montgomery Ward. I don't care what people say, I think it's cool and adds provenance. Bulova Accutrons were a popular brand given by companies back in the 60s and 70s as service watches.
just a week ago I picked up my first vintage watch, a 16710 coke from 1999. I was not prepared for how fragile the bracelet felt on wrist. The watch itself isn't drastically different from a modern watch, but that bracelet surprized me.
Wow, can Shawn fawn any more than he is, how many time did you he say, “oh that’s a great question” bro, we get it you’re a fan, relax. 😂😂😂😂😂 Love the channel 😊😊
Loved the thoughtfulness of his collection. Very aware that “you never really own a watch, you merely hold it for the next generation.” To copy a line from Patek. But it’s true nonetheless for every watch. He actually made me think more about my collecting philosophy.
All the big collectors only going for Rolex, Patek, Rolex, Patek… it’s like the world’s most expensive copy-paste. It’s even soulless to some degree… Can’t these people own one Marathon for some uniqueness and fun please?
An incredible collection, put together with thought and great passion. It was really nice to hear the stories and thoughts behind the watches. One of the best episodes!👏👏👏
That Cellini is just stunning.
Thanks Shawn & Tim 🙏 Great collection Shawn !!
Thank you!!
These episodes perfectly demonstrate what watch collecting should be about. Watches are so subjective and each collection is an individual journey.
Amazing collection, thanks Shawn & Tim 🙏🏽🙏🏽

What a killer Cellini Love it!!

A pleasure to watch 👍
Great collection, great guy. Congrats
would love another “watches of a musician” episode

Vintage Rolexes are very janky. Modern machining has come a long way.
For me, this is by far the best episode. Fantastic stories and underrated gems!
He comes across as super pretentious 😂
well well done gentlemen.
Thank you as always!
Best,
Tim
Super enjoyable show…I love Shawn’s passion…
Wow. A box full of Rolex. That's impressive.

interesting interview, nice collection...
Incredible collection wow! Any idea the name or make of Shawn’s wood watch box?

Hardly any boundaries pushed. Tim did great work as always but I wish he's not bound by the company's orders.
Beautiful collection 🤙
Nice collection. Very thoughtful collector too. But..,You mean 1916 doesn’t give you a gold watch when you retire?
As stupid of a name if I’ve ever seen one 1916 company, watchbox was amazing name and brand
who wrote those dialogs? oscar winner for best stage-play adaptation?
Boring
Rolex? Really? This collector is really pushing the boundaries of the hobby 😂
He just went straight for quality.
Go watch John Mayer then.
So true, hardly groundbreaking

I agree. Just so predictable.
Amazing collection love it ❤

Yawn, says he doesn't like hype watches but only collects Rolex. Yeah right !
Dudes in theatre with these watches?? Hmmmm
watch box sold off the show or what
He misspoke at 14:21. 2016 was the 60th anniversary of the Day-Date.
Is he an actor?
Enjoyed this.
Imo one of the best episodes
