    this guy has a story one can relate to. He isnt just throwing money at the hobby and gravitating towards the Swiss Luxe brands like many collectors do

    This guy is so cool. The way he talks… Everything he says sounds so important. I have never seen a more original collection. Totally unique pieces. Never seen before. So original. Like the beard. Wow

      Seriously awesome collection. What strap was on the mkII Paradive?

    Great video. Would love to ID the nato strap on that Seiko 6105. Looking for a similarly beefy one in that color and I love the non-zulu hardware.

    Great video, inspiring and informative. The thing I appreciate most is he collects watches HE likes, not, "I need to include a Swiss, a Japanese, a German watch, etc., to demonstrate I'm a well rounded collector". He was able to find unique watches that most people may never hear of. And the bottom line, he purchased items that have meaning to him.

    That Seiko Navigator is beautiful. I have a similarly mint example, but no bracelet and that bracelet really sets it off. Great collection!

    Yesterday I found and purchased a very rare 33mm Chatham Instrument Company nickel cased military watch ca. 1938 . It still retains it's original dial ,red sweep second hand and internal dust cover . it's powered by a Universal Geneve 263 movement and keeps excellent time . Found it at a pawn shop and they had no idea how rare this watch is . Like your collection !

    Great collection. I’m new to collecting and am really gravitating towards Seikos and military style watches as well. MKII Cruxible is high on my list, so nice seeing the brand get a mention here.

    Excellent video with even better narration . As you spoke of each watch in your collection you personalized the piece to a time in your life, that’s why watches carry importance for so many . Your collection is also terrific I love all of those divers!

    @johnvetromile4273 7 років тому

    Clean example of a 6105! Consider adding a rougher one to your collection so u can daily it and not sweat it. Who knows? You might decide you like the tooltastic vibe of the roughed up 6105 more.

    • @MrJonGaffney
      @MrJonGaffney 7 років тому

      I used to own one more roughed up. Traveled around a lot with it and loved it. If I can find one for the right price it will definitely join the collection! This one was just too pristine to pass on.

  • @malikknows3510

    This is a great area in which to collect, I love my cwc g10 from 1984. If it was good enough for the British army it's good enough for me!

    • @Tetlee

      DH Skips my CWC G10 is my most worn watch, good for everything(except swimming, mine is a 1980).

    Love the Seiko GMT....

    • @MrJonGaffney
      @MrJonGaffney 7 років тому +1

      To me it's one of the very best Seiko's I've come across and highly underrated. The design language of it is purely Seiko tool watch of the time, but slightly more refined.
