Loving the lineup. I can't deny, I was immensely proud to see the the RMM still in the final 8 line up. Thank you so much for the very kind words too. Wow that Roue chrono is something else! Very slick design and the colors are so well done. I love the Omega, obviously. The Tag is super fun. It's a two tone of Stallone's Cobra watch, very cool!
Keep up the amazing work, O&U!
T.
Enjoyed the tour video! The war room looks great!
Like if you read this in TGV’s voice.
Cheers T! I didn't know that about this Tag model. That just makes it that bit cooler.
Great work on the Rangemaster series. I'm looking forward to seeing the GMT version!
Appreciate you!
Kieron
I love that most of the ones you kept are having signs of wearing. It is clear that you enjoy wearing a watch, not just looking at it in a box :)
For sure! Nothing gets special treatment in my collection. I was swimming in the ocean, jumping in the pool and showering with my Seamaster on holiday. That's what they're made for!
Thanks for watching!
Picked up a amzwatch's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!
I dont know if there is someone, who doesnt like what you do. Your are just briliant, thank you.
oh man, the Roue is so sick!
Isn't it! I love it man. Such a cool chrono
I just got a Roue TPS 8 (Grey and Orange) love it so far, so nice to wear
Shout out from Brazil! Great to see a Roue here!
Very very cool collection! And very down to earth, making it one the most realistically attainable ones shown on youtube! 👍👍👍
You have one of my all-time favorites, the Omega 2254.50. I can't tell you how many times I've almost pulled the trigger! Nice collection!
Dont know if I could do it but the core collection you have left covers all the bases and then some! My favorite is either the Tag or the Beaucroft. I would not mind seeing Mark's/Tgv's watch in person as well. It looks pretty awesome! Take care Kieran!
I'm the opposite of you. I couldn't shut my watches up in a box. To me they're little kinetic sculptures. I can't wear them all but I can display them in an illuminated cabinet. When I was a kid, I used to be fascinated by the watches in the jewellery shop windows, especially in winter when it was dark early and the illuminated display gave everything a magic sparkle. I sort of recreate that in my home. I just love seeing the beautiful dials and seeing the second hands tick and LCD displays change. They're almost alive. I can't sell watches either. I can't handle the regret lol.
Hello and thank you for this video. I loved the way you reduced your collection to some essentials : with a chrono, a field watch, a quartz, a dresswatch, a diver ... With japonese, german, swiss, english brands ... With microbrands and also big ones ... With just one expensive model (but what a watch!) It's nearly perfect.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Collecting is a long journey. I'm happy with where I'm currently at. Appreciating everything I have 😀👍
@@TopTierTicker We do have some things in common : Only one "big one" (mine is a TAG Heuer), the Orient Kamasu, a Seiko, some microbrands (Dan Henry, Wise, MU:N and Venezianico in my collection). I'm pretty happy of my collection for now, and pretty happy to know myself and what I like or dislike more than at the beginning. I wish I'll succed to put on the web for sale two or three watches I really do not Wear anymore, just as you succeded to do.
Excellent collection Kieron! I absolutely love all of them but my favourite is the Beaucroft, it's simply stunning!
I've said this before but your strap selections are spot on, you have a great eye for that mate.
Thanks so much for sharing your collection with us, and also your passion and enthusiasm. Cheers my friend 👍
One in one out eh ?. Ok fine but do not under any circumstances , even if you have to resort to eating toe nails ha ha , let the 2254.50 go. Had mine for donkeys years now ( I'm old ) and it will never leave my collection. Every so called new version since then aren't in the same league . If Omega bow down to fan boy pressure and release a re-imagined 2254 trust me in saying they will make a right old dogs dinner of it. Nice little box full there Kieron. I'm quite taken with that little beaucroft myself but everytime I look on their website I change my mind on what colour to go for, cracking design I reckon.
Great great watch choices!!! Such good taste you have and just nailed it with all styles of watches. I just love your channel and your personality. Humble, straight to the point and entertaining. Thanks for sharing.
I'm gonna get a nomos club campus in a few months when I turn 18, or when I graduate highschool. Nomos is a brand that just really excites me. Also I love the tag heuer, I think it's awesome. I would gladly enjoy something like that in my collection in the future.
Oris bc3 and the baby-g are beautiful pieces. They deserve to enter your 8 watch core collection.
Mine 8 is:
1- citizen fujitsubo
2-hamilton khaki pilot pioneer mechanical
3-seiko snkl17
4-seiko srpk35
5- vaer s3
6-baby g
7- swatch chrono from 2000s
8-orient gold square watch from early 90s
Nicely done Kieron! I really appreciate both your passion for watches and the amount of variety in your collection. You obviously select watches that move you as opposed to purchasing them for their flex value.
Thank you. Yes, I don't care for owning the hype watch. I look for the watches that get me excited, not others!
Thanks for watching my friend
I just sold that exact Kamasu last year and bought the Kamasu II Limited Edition in Burgundy as well (Ref. RA-AA00813R) as the replacement🤣
Can’t resist the LE one due to its vintage vibe..😍
This is what I hope my collection could look like 1 day! Great stuff, from cheap to expensive to interesting.. I like it.
The beaucroft is gorgeous. I have to say, I'm not even a huge fan of the watches you selected, but I love how you explained each one.
Thank you sir! The Beaucroft is certainly a beauty.
I think that yellow Tag Heuer is best, It shows the time most legibly and without tiring the eyes.
I love my Nomos Club Campus…great design.
I’m with you keeping a lean set & consolidating. But with (only) 8 pieces, surely you need at least one Rolex!? 👑
The Nomos Club Campus is one of my favorite watches. They’re slim, hand wound watches with a really cool California dial.
As I have just started researching watches (on a budget) with a view to starting a collection I have found your channel an invaluable resource. It is probably my no.1 go to. A question for you and the community if I may. Some say diversity in a collection is key, while others say it should reflect the owners personality. Both are probably true. I have no real interest in Diver, Chronograph, or GMT watches as I see no use for them for myself. (nor do I particularly like the aesthetics). Should I still consider them for the sake of a more rounded collection?
Beautiful collection. I love the 8 watch collection idea, as it’s already hard to select a watch, and I only have 5 at the moment.
Great video- I like how you paired it down to 8. I own the Omega 2254 which is my grail and the Kamasu. Both are keepers in my 8 watch collection.
I traded my red Kamasu for an original (mint) F1 on a bracelet with full packaging, only for me to buy the same watch back six months later. Of the 100+ watches I’ve bought and sold over the year this is the first time I’ve ever done this. How can you not love the richness of that dial? I wear mine on a nato.
I love this 8 piece, very very well done
I bought the same Seamaster this April in Japan but with Iron Bazel
Amazing watch
Beautiful Seamaster! 🤩
Just a gorgeous, colorful, and fun collection. The Roue and Beaucroft are stunning. I adore Seiko but too pale to rock the gray. Thanks for showing us the Islander. Teddy just showed off the brilliant new Hamilton field watches, but they were $600 and $900. Call me a snob but that seems too much.
Ohh man what a classy clean collection...loved it...that Seiko looks something different and beautiful ❤️ keeping doing this awesome collection .. love for India 🇮🇳❤
Another great video and list. Surprised you got the keepers down to 8. That's incredibly hard for a 'watch guy'. Loving the channel. Keep doing what you do.
I actually really enjoyed shaving things down. You do get sellers remorse occasionally, but that's life. I'm enjoying watches now more with a smaller collection 100%
I agree mate less is more imo I never go above 7 at a time one for each day of the week . great video 👍
Great video and interesting evolution of your collection. I really like Two Tone Tag … I’m curious what is the case size and the model number?
The irony in having a watch collection worth $1000s, but keeping them all in a 15 quid case haha. Nice collection tho mate!
I’m glad Kieran at least you can keep your lovely watch collection down to “just” 8.😱 I’m not going there mete!🤭 Suffice to say I’ve been collecting watches for more than 40+++ years!😵💫🤣 Btw I also grabbed the TGV/Islander on release. I was wearing that one only 2 days ago. I’ve got it still on the original strap.😎👍🏼🇦🇺
The Seamaster is a personal grail watch of mine (despite having the latest smp 300)…perfect
That Nomos looks like a good Homage of my Seagull dress watch. lol
Nearly perfect! To be honest I would say I’m envious 😎
Gorgeous Seamaster and the Roue is non too shabby. Thank you very much for sharing your collection and good luck with the channel. Subscribed and liked.
I love my red Kamasu,such a great dial,punches way above 250euro price wish only bracelet was tapered to 18mm,but its not that horrible like people review it...Gonna stay forever with me.
Green Rado Captain Cook or Longines Legend diver bronze ,saving money for it?
Great video! Can I ask what platforms you use to sell your watches? I’ve tried to get rid of a few in my collection to make room for new ones but most of the time I get people wanting them for next to nothing. Thanks!
I did a similar thing in my collection as well, i stuck with 8 in my core collection and i want anything else, one has to go, saves me from spending money and i actually use my watches.
The nicest tag watch iv seen beautiful
Thanks! I agree. It's a real beauty
I'm selling a watch too when I stop enjoying it. Except for sentimental pieces
Yay for Team Seiko!
Team Seiko for life!
@@TopTierTickerForgot to ask about the scratch on your Omega bezel. Any good stories go with that badge of honor?! 😂
Great Collection! If you ever sell the Roue, get in touch; I love that one!
I have both the Seamaster and the red dial Orient in my collection.
Excelent man!!!! This tag hauer man.... Beautiful watch! Highlight for the tag, the omega and the Roue 🇧🇷
Great 3 picks from you! That would make a very cool 3 watch collection indeed! 😎👌
Which ladies watch do you recommend between 100-400 dollars? Thanks
That Seiko is so nice with its big blobby markers and such a stylish colour/texture - similar to my About Vintage. The Seamaster, well that’s a given. I’m looking at a fairly new, reasonably priced, black 38mm Speedmaster - I wish they came in a proper white. I don’t think I could manage a 42mm…. I’m looking for my chronograph. Any advise…..
That seamaster on that bracelet looks 10/10
Now you just need a Rolex. I think an explorer 2 would fit well in there.
Awesome video. Just getting started with watch buying. Can you tell me the strap color that you bought from nato to go with the filed watch you mentioned and also where I can get the watch. Thanks
Welcome to the community! Good to have you on the channel. I'll try my best to help
It's a green and cream nato from AliExpress. You'll find tons of them for a couple of dollars. Just buy ones with good reviews.
The field watch is no longer available I'm afraid. It was a limited edition piece by Islander. Check out the 'Lorus Lumibrite' for a budget alternative!
With Omega seamaster you are James Bond 😮 Beautiful collection my friend ❤
Haha, thank you my friend 😎
It would be nice if you did a video on the watches you sold and why you sold them.
That nomos is a keeper
Another really good video well worth watching, Kieran. I really liked your 'coronation' of the Tag Heuer, even if it's not my cup of char. The equivalent in my collection is my Vostok Amfibia Scuba that I've put on an orange tropic strap. Bought in 2021 before the atrocities, it beggars belief that I should be so drawn to it (Like you with your Tag). I'm relocating back to Blighty from Berlin soon, and have had to streamline my unwieldy collection. It's been cathartic and instructive. I'm down to 12 in my Rothwell watch box. I thank you for the heads up on that, by the way. Like you, I love my Kamasu but would prefer a non metal strap. Marc from Long Island Watches has just posted about fitting a non metal strap on this watch. Not so easy. Any tips? Apologies if I've spelt your name incorrectly. Come on Ingerland! Best. Mark.
I have a difficult relationship with the Orient Kamasu, I bought it and felt something was really off. I modded it last year with a Long Island ceramic bezel, and it's gorgeous now, quite dressy yet robust. One of my favorites now.
I need to try out that bezel and aftermarket bracelet on mine. Turns it into a spec monster!
@TopTierTicker turned it from a watch I barely wore for 1 year to a constant companion and one of my most worn watches.
the Roue is dope
I don't usually comment but I really like your collection
Man.. that is a COLLECTION👌
Kindly do the review of SEIKO SPB 453 SIR ...THANKS❤😊
Could you do a vid on best ways to sell watches?
I'm intrigued! Why do watch reviewers ignore Sekonda? I'm not suggesting they're quality watches but they do have history (albeit with ownership changes), they're cheap, reliable and attractive. As far as budget watches go I think they're pretty decent for what they are. I'd rather have a Sekonda than a designer brand.
I don't have anything against them, they just don't excite me. I've reviewed one on the channel before. I was decent, nothing special.
Love the videos and a great collection of watches. I'm also a golfer and would be interested in WITB
Keep up the good work
Good man! I would absolutely love to do a WITB but only about 100 people would watch 🤣
So here's what I've got -
TaylorMade Jetspeed driver
Callaway Warbird 3 wood
Ping I5 irons (3-PW)
Vokey wedges
Odyssey white ice 2 ball blade
I got all of my clubs second hand from various websites. Golfbidder and ebay for example.
I've only been golfing for about 18 months so I'm not great! Love it though!
Plenty of.old school stuff in the bag
Can't go wrong with Ping irons.
All my clubs are old cleveland irons 5 iron to sand wedge
Ben sayers putter.
M6 7 hybrid
Pxg 7 wood
And my favourite club a Ping G430 max driver
Very nice! Just curious, how often do you wear them? And do you admire them at home?
Yeah, great collection!
Grey Strap on the orient ?
Nice collection! I may be an addict 35 watches and still not satisfied!!!!
😂 35!? Oh my word! I'd break out into hot sweats with choice overload 😱
The only Seiko I wish to have is GRAND Seilo Lake Suwa =)
Great choice. I hope you enjoy it when you do eventually add it to the collection 👌
Thanks for watching 🙏
What do you feel about a gshock? I think should be included but again its just my opinion
I've tried a few now, I'm yet to fall in love with one. Just don't seem to enjoy them like everyone else does! Which is strange given how much I love my regular Casios.
Cool collection 👍🏻
Gahh E V E R Y time (pun intended) I see that TAG I add it on my list. It looks so fun and versatile.
I like your style
8 is a great number to have. Are you hiding Casios as well somewhere though? 😂
Where is the list of all these watches??
Quite the intresting paring-down you've done!! I made a conscious decision to keep my collection down to about ten watches: at the moment, there are nine in the "active" collection, while another two are sidelined with problems (one of them, a vintage Seiko LordMatic, likely for good), and a a pair of vintage Hamiltons that are about to be put up for auction. Your take on the Nomos was interesting - I'll be watchhing to see how you get on with it (or not), as I have at least one watch of "the nine" I'm having similar back-and-forth feelings about. (BTW: wherre *did* you get that t-shirt?)
Nice to hear that someone else also has a sensible collection size! I've seen some numbers that give me the chills 😂 I wouldn't be able to pick a watch.
I'll certainly be doing a video on the Nomos, regardless of whether I keep it or not. The video will be ultimately based around that decision and my experience in making it.
The t-shirt is from h&m! It also says 'live laugh love' beneath the children which I thought was funny.
With your tag, is that a quartz? Do you swap out the batteries on your own or get a certified watchmaker to do it?
If I may, Top Ticker, no offense AT ALL when I say this but, your style is a modern basic one so having a simpler collection is ideal for you but wouldn't be for someone like me who has a more extensive wardrobe. Thank you for allowing me to add this disclaimer in advance sir.
Great video! What model Seiko 5 is that?
Great video - really solid 8 watch collection. The Kamasu and Seamaster are definitely long-term pieces - and really dig that Tag Heuer.
What platforms did you use to sell your watches? And how was the experience?
I've almost exclusively used ebay throughout. Not once had a problem with a sale (touch wood).
Yes, the divers are long term keepers. And I'd love to bring in another! I think I need to accept that I love divers 😎
Islander field watch review plz
Tell me about the NATOs on the Seiko 5 and the Nomos…do they feel as nice as they look?
The ribbed ones? They're great! The one on the Seiko is the cheaper one (AliExpress) and actually feels much softer. The mustard one is from CNS. It's less comfortable but will surely last longer.
Very nice collection mate.
Thank you kindly mate. Appreciate you watching 🙏
shame you didnt bond with the nomos - i think the black dial ludwig wouldve been more your speed. your collection veers more dark than light dial
The bloody kamasu is also in my core
Bloody Kamasu! Love that
I rate your collection: 7 out of 8.
I would have snapped up every one except for the TAG HEUER as it's not my style.
Thank you. Still an exceptionally kind rating. Surprised it's the Tag that's dropped the mark as it's one of my favourites.
@@TopTierTicker You're welcome! Don't get me wrong, TAG makes excellent watches but I could never get into yellow dials or two tone watches.
I'm glad you like it though, that's all that matters. Wear what you like, never what other people tell you to like. 😁👍
I love that Seiko dial ! I am curious what is the reference number
I think you will find it is the Seiko 5 Sports SBSA129
@@UKStevieB Thank you!
Mine is the SRPG63 👌
I have a 3 watch collection. A datejust, an IWC pilot spitfire, and a casio cos... why not😭
Cool 3 piece my friend! I've considered an IWC spitfire myself.
I want your Tag!!!
You can't have it! 😂 I'm sure you'll be able to find one on the secondary market though. They aren't super expensive!
@@TopTierTicker I have my eye on one, but the Boss Lady says no at the moment. Lol
Is the Seiko ref SRPG63K1? Looks great!
Correct, it's the SRPG63. It's one unique Seiko, that's for sure.
Great job downsizing. After following you for a year or so now, I think I could have predicted all of your choices. Interesting though, that you only kept round watches. Even with only 8, you'll see after a time which one doesn't get any wrist time and could be switched up
A squared / rectangular dress watch is something I do want in the future. Likely not the tank, potentially a reverso. Hopefully something cool that's super under the radar from the vintage market!
Where do you sell your watches? I would love to slim down some of my close to 40 pieces. I’m a member of several curated watch enthusiast groups on social media but all I ever get is tire kickers…
I mostly sell on eBay. Touch wood, I haven't had a single problem yet. And I've sold a lot of watches on there.
@@TopTierTicker does eBay offer a goods and services type program for risk free shipping and do they take a percentage or flat fee? Thanks for sharing.
British ppl are so funny. “OMEEEEGA”
Citizen No:1
you dont have to restrain to few watches... your collection can be 20, 40 watches... who says the collection should be "perfect" or just few... and perfect for whom? the important thing is that you like it. Nobody cares really, nobody judges... dont have the watches that other people think are cool... its your collection.
You….. really like yellow 😂
