Great SOTC! Your content is both engaging and relatable. As a fellow Christian and Seiko enthusiast, I really enjoyed this. I started collecting watches about four months ago and I’ve definitely caught the watch bug! I’m still a beginner, but I’m learning more every day. I’m excited to see more of your videos. Keep up the great work!
Really appreciated the intro! Great video. It's cool to see someone build up such a nice collection in their first year. I'm hoping to start mine in 2025. Subbed!
The box, storytelling, that feeling of presicion and elegance that watch brands gives customers. Just the whole unique aesthetic. Greetings for Russia and sorry if my english is not correct sometimes.
I love the video and the message at the beginning. I also can totally relate to changing a bracelet and wanting to wear it more. I have an upgraded jubilee on my Seikoskx013. Keep it up and we'll keep watching :)
I really enjoy ur collection bc I feel like every other SOTC looks the exact same while urs feels so grounded and similar in taste to what I look at. I studied a semester abroad in london as well
Nice collection! I still don't have a Seiko. I have a couple Citizens though. I have more Swiss brands than anything. I did get the PRX and I love it. I also bought my business partner one when I got mine in a different color. It was his first Automatic watch. I subbed. Looking forward to more of your content. Happy New Year!
Great collection - thanks for sharing! I'm only a few months into my own horological journey and the addiction has hit me hard lol! I had a couple of old Luminox watches already and a Citizen chrono but started recently with a Seiko 5 GMT SSK01. I then added a few very cheap Casios followed by a Timex Expedition. Feeling adventurous I then bought a Vostok Amphibia Scuba Dude which I love. My most recent purchase was the blue/grey Casioak G-Shock with the metal case guards - a throw-back to my first ever G-Shock from the mid-1990's. I'm now saving for a blue dial Seiko Presage Cocktail Time on a bracelet. Just subbed to your channel and looking forward to seeing more videos.
@@viccosta5301 thanks! Here it is - a.co/d/cSgldJD I do find the bracelet comfortable but have a couple of gripes. I’ll be talking about it in the next video!
I’m into watches a similar length of time to yourself, I recently acquired an SPB149 and love it. Currently trying to decide which dress watch to upgrade my Bambino to… (I have a watch-in watch-out system, keeping my collection to 5 watches).
Dude, I hv the same sbdy109 mini turtle. Goes superbly well with navy color strap. Trust me, it will make the gorgeous dial pop. I hv mine with a single pass electric blue NATO strap.
Great selection. There is a Casio Edifice that has an amazing integrated bracelet as well. I am torn between the Seiko baby turtle frosty and the baby tuna frosty. Might get one eventually. I don’t think that there is a reason for Seiko not having signed crowns other than them being cheap. Citizen does an amazing job with its Promaster line, cheaper than Seiko, arguably better and signed crowns…
Hi great video how does the panda compare to the dresskx and 143 ? I have noth of them and keep thinking of a panda do you have a favourite out of them ? Also just checking on the 143 tropic strap is the quick release the fat bars ?
@@daveLin104 nice! I’d say the panda is my least favorite out of the three, but the looks are hard to dislike. it’s a handsome piece for sure. one of the main reasons I got it was to have a chronograph in the collection that wouldn’t cost an entire watch’s worth to service. the solar quartz is nice but isn’t always easy to keep fully charged in the winter months. the tropic from strap habit doesn’t have fat bars, which I notice when putting onto the watch, but never during wear or any other times.
@dailykimchi thanks for the reply and you might have saved me money not getting the panda I should just be satisfied with the 143 :) I want a chronograph like you but don't want to have the future service costs like you :) can I ask why it's the least favourite please ? Also you might be better replacing the quick release bars with some skinny bars that fit the strap but have the correct pins for the lugs. It makes them more secure and causes less wear in the holes :)
@ sure, happy to help - nothing wrong with the speedtimer per se, in fact it’s the watch that’s gotten the most compliments from others of the three. call me typical, but I do have an inclination for automatic watches 😂
A nice conservative collection of beautiful watches… but the AE1200 is the workhorse 😊 the Casio Royal was never in a Bond movie, however it looks similar to the Seiko G757 (?) watch that was in the movie but production on that watch stopped in the 1980’s…so the Casio AE1200 took over that role😊.
The Bond thing - i get it ( imagine being British & sadly thinking,'that could be me!'...). Apparently, we all wear dive watches due to him. I don't want to buy an Omega or Rolex, but, like you, I have Seikos & an Hamilton- both brands worn by Bond
Always thought he (the Craig Bond) was pretty cool ever since I was still in school, but definitely felt a new appreciation watching the entire Craig series a couple of months ago. Thank you!
Wow! 8 watches in one year is throwing yourself in the deep end of watch collecting. Do you see yourself accumulating watches into a much bigger collection or selling some to keep it down to a small size collection? Personally, I never sell a watch and try not to double up on watch categories - I have one diver, one chronograph and two GADA watches (doh!). I’m also trying to have a variety of companies and dial colours (currently 2 blue, one black and one white). All my watches are Swiss automatics so I’m also trying to diversify countries of manufacture and add in some quartz movements.
@ianforber haha deep end indeed! great question that I’ll have to continue to explore (and probably make a video about), but I’m definitely more inclined at the moment to maintain a reasonable cap on the number of watches in the collection. it’s hard enough to rotate the current collection as it is! your collection sounds fantastic - hope you can pull the trigger on a nice, reliable (Japanese?) quartz some time soon! thanks for watching :)
Your collection is good stay with that or you’ll have a 2 tray 16 unit case and double stack the pockets. I have over 120 watches because addicted to them.

@@PaulSmith-up4fo I'm six months in and have two ten watch boxes, a dual winder, and multiple watches being bought and sold. It's too late for me already.
I have the srpe in grey dial and the Khaki auto and mechanical has all for 4 years the Seiko might look more modern etc but the Hamilton is def lot better than the Seiko in movement and finishing terms
I prefer videos - like engaging with others - to be free of religion and politics. I understand that you meant well, but a person’s wellbeing and self-worth doesn’t depend on being a member of a “club”.
@@mybrainlikesthings I completely understand where you’re coming from. please don’t feel coerced in any way by those remarks in my videos - it’s a way to express my freedom of belief and to reach out to anyone who might happen to feel lost. After all, at the end of the day, love, forgiveness, and acceptance are core tenets of a fulfilled life, and I hope to share that with anyone I cross paths with. I don’t see it as a “club” per se but thank you for your thought
As soon as I heard that intro, I subbed. That blessed me. Thank you and Happy belated New Year!

@@robperkins2085 sounds like a lovely collection!! let’s get sicker from this disease together haha
@@dailykimchi thank you Chris!
*Excellent* collection, and a well-sized one at that. My collection is a mix of (mostly) Seiko and Casio. (Great watch box as well.)
Nice 👍 watch collection 😊❤
Nice collection and loved the commentary. You got my sub!!
Amen sir. God bless you.
A watch channel...that loves mad preaches Jesus?? Immediately subscribed
Love your collection ❤
Nice collection. We have similar tastes
Love the Murph, especially in white. That step though? Not so much.
Nice! My first mechanical was a SNKL23 purchased around the same time 😊 Cool collection, interested to see where it goes next.
@@jabuhrer1 thanks! the SNKL is quite the gem
Lovely collection, could you share the link to the jubilee bracelet you purchased for the Seiko dress watch. Is the bracelet comfortable?
@@viccosta5301 thanks! Here it is - a.co/d/cSgldJD

@@blaketaylor9317 all for His glory 🙏
The solar watch needs to see a lot of light to fully charge. I keep mine out of the box and close to a sunlit window.
@@jobuckley2999 keen eye there - I’ve found that it’s difficult to keep a full charge especially this time of year. I’ll take your advice.
What’s the name of the first box?
@@TheWoolyWolf I wouldn’t recommend it, but the brand is called Songmics
