My Watch Collection 2017 | Seiko, Hamilton, Casio, Citizen

- Опубліковано 31 лип 2024
- This video shows off a well-rounded, affordable watch collection that's ready for any occasion and full of value. Some of my criteria for buying watches are:
SIZE - I want a smaller watch (38mm or less) and am not afraid to wear a watch that’s very small by today’s standards (like 34mm).
WELL ROUNDED - I don’t want too much duplication or overlap in my collection. Ideally, I’d have one or two casual, sport and dress watches, and nothing more.
VALUE - When I buy a watch, I want to know that I’m paying for the materials, design, engineering and craftsmanship that went into making it. For the most part, I don’t want to pay for designer logos or marketing hype.
Finally, I prefer mechanical watches, but I’m not above wearing quartz watches and actually think they’re easier to own. You never have to set them, and they don’t stop ticking if you don’t wear them. I just love the engineering that goes into a mechanical watch and think they’re much more interesting than battery-powered watches.
Okay, let’s look at the watches, starting with the most casual and working our way to the most dressy. Keep in mind, the total price of this collection is less than $500 - for all 5 watches.

Awesome collection and great video!
+alpha m. Thanks man! Just watched your Rolex collection vid. Would love to add a Datejust 1603 to my lineup one day...
The Modest Man
Go black vintage explorer insted!
alpha m. Better than your DW video
If you like it, it's good and doesn't matter what people say.
Well put.
This is a very nice and very well rounded collection. I have almost 10k invested in a 5 watch collection and I can tell you, your collection checks almost every box that mine does. Awesome video! Thanks a lot!
It's great to see someone building a collection on personal appeal/ purpose instead of the standard brand cache. Great work!
Going forward I highly recommend you explore the vintage market. It takes a bit of research to understand the value. There are exceptional pieces to be had at a comparable price point to what you have. Zenith and Longines really dominate this category.
Great vintage Mad Men type look on the Citizen! Great video as always..
Yeah man, they don't make them like they used to!
Nice, my first automatic was the Seiko Field and I got hooked, I really love the value and quality from Seiko, Citizen and Orient watches. Great video Thanks.
This is a nice collection. Everyone seems to focus on luxury high end watches. You cover a wide spectrum of watches. I am starting a very modest collection and my focus is on the vintage working man's watch. It is about the history to me and my house is entirely retro/vintage. Before I started, I had a mid century Valory Geneve (mechanical) from my grandpa that was just rebuilt and two Boccia quartz watches. Recent additions are a Seiko 5 speed racer, a Casio calculator, a vintage Waltham 17 jewel, a vintage Ricoh automatic, an HTM hand wind, and a Casio A158WEA-9. The Waltham and Ricoh are unused and I was told the HTM is but have not received it. Finding a Ricoh and HTM that are not frankens is laborious. They just ooze retro to a ridiculous level. Just bought a lot of 3 Timex electrics and 2 Timex quartz. Gotta put the brakes on and wait for local auctions that I frequent. This could become a sickness.
My wrist is also 6.5, but I own the Orient Bambino and the Mako. I understand what you mean when you say they are too large for our wrist size, but I really love those on my wrist. Appreciate you doing this video.
Thank you for all the efforts u put into making these wonderful videos... Always amazed ... informed n satisfied watching you ....❤️ THE MODEST MAN
Great choices! The SKX013 is definitely my most versatile. I also have an SNK809 on a nato and a classic G-Shock DW5600 in my rotation as well. Great to see more watch videos!
Your taste and knowledge is improving. Keep making videos mate!
Love that citizen watch and your reflections on what it means to you. I have four sons - college age. Would love to hear them speak of something I passed down and what it means to them. Good video!
I freaking love your show. Your a good soldier.
The watches make sense to normal people.
I agree with you wholeheartedly on the Bambino. I too, have approx 6.5 in in wrist diameter, and when I had my Bambino (my first automatic watch I purchased), that thing was HUGE on my small wrist. I have since sold it, but it broke my heart because of how beautiful it was...
Now that's a great collection!
Oh, hey! Always nice to see another Marylander!!
The Seiko SNK805 is so good during fall. It suits you the best!
I'm onboard with the minimalist, intentional approach to your watch collection. As a budding enthusiast myself, there's much to learn. And I def. Agree with your final thoughts that it comes down to how you feel about a watch, what it means to you and not so much brand names and all of that. If you like it, that's good enough, doesn't matter what ppl say.
+Gentleman Within yeah I kind of echo what you said in your recent watch review vid. It’s totally subjective.
I have just about the same size wrists and I'm in the same boat as you with a dress watch. The Bambino is the affordable go to, but it is all dial and would look huge no matter how short the lug tip to lug tip is. Great video!
I want an SNZG field watch (larger version of the snk) and when I saw your last video I decided myself on the green one (SNZG09). Great collection!
Great collection. Actually have slightly different versions of two of them. Really like the Hamilton, impressive.
That Citizen looks slick!
GREAT budget collection, and the first one by a "fashion guy" without some shitty and overpriced DW fashion watch - respect
I have the Seiko automatic in blue and loving the watch as my go to watch, I have kept all my watches since I was younger and keep them in cases. Do keep you watches in cases when you're not wearing them and do you use the case that keeps the automatic watches going? what would you recommend?
Thanks, Jeff
Great collection. You should take a look at Mecha-Quartz watches, especially adding a racing style one to your collection. Seiko SSB series is very nice for the price, with wonderful mechanical feel stopwatches.
Good move keeping your Rolex hidden to the side. Only for the most special occasions.
+The Kavalier I wear it around my ankle during these types of videos 🙃
Watches are supposed to be enjoyed not for formal occasions. If you are afraid to wear a watch then don't buy it.
AMAZING VIDEO!
Watching this video while wearing my skx007. Nice job and keep on going, Brock!
Nice!
Timex Marlin 1965 reissue. 34mm and looks pretty sleek in my opinion. Might be worth a look.
Hamilton Khakifield...nice it was my first automatik, I keep going back to it...even after the Sinn 104...now looking at the sinn 103, even though it look similar to the 104...
Hamilton khaki field review please my man, btw i got into watches watching your videos so thanks for the inspiration and you just gained a loyal subscriber
Love your channel bro! I actually have a couple of watches you have and have as I started learning about watches I built a small collection similar to yours 👍🏼
Great video. I don't really see the problem in wearing watches that may be too big for your wrist. I also have a 6.5in wrist and wear watches well into 40-46mm. They still look great. My advice is wear whatever watch you want with whatever outfit. In fact, most of my watches are over 40mm with my favourite watch at about 43mm.
A decent option for a mechanical/automatic dress watch at a budget price is the Junkers Bauhaus. It may have a 40mm face, but it wears much smaller because the lug-to-lug size is even smaller than you Hamilton Khaki.
Hey Brock love the collection. I would suggest vintage Omega if you are looking for a thin mechanical dress watch in the 34-35mm range. There are tons of options and dial configurations for 3-600 out there. I just picked one up with a gorgeous linen dial and date function with a manual movement.
I think a nice update to your dress watch would be a Citizen eco-drive. Would continue the Citizen legacy in your collection, provide some value for tech with the Eco-Drive(instead of just quartz), well under $100 and with a variety of sizes to match your requirement.
That collection looks awfully familiar. Own the little Seiko 5 and the automatic version of the Hamilton too. Still struggling for a nice dress watch for my wrist size (about 6 & 3/4"). Love the strap you have on your Hamilton too, definitely going to need one in an olive green I think.
Modest collection i feel like we got the same taste✌
I dig these videos, would love to see more on watches
Great video! I have some of the same/similar watches. SKX013, SNK809, and I went with the Hamilton Khaki King. Welcome to the WatchFam.
Nice collection! #watchfam
oh god, your dog is simply adorable.
Great video 👍🏻 SNK807 is my first automatic watch. I believe Bambino now there is 36mm Bambino, but I prefer 37mm Seiko SNXS77 or SNKL43.
Awesome video, nice little collection!
That skx is a stunner! You should try putting it on a brown leather nato strap!
Nice watch Bro. I salute you.
Great Video with some good view points.
I really like that Citizen!
1 year too late, but might I suggest the Orient Star Classic. It's a more appropriately sized, more premium Bambino. Also has a forgiving strap size compared to the Bambino's 21mm. Cheers!
So true, people just purchase watches because of the brand and not because they like how it looks
Cool collection, love the diver watch.. I’m from Malaysia and the factory is in my state.
love your collection :)
I love that cargo strap!
camo?
cool collection!
Nice little collection.
I love how you kept your dad's watch. Along those lines Seiko and Citizen both have a modern watch new similar to the Cartier Tank. Check them out. I don't remember the Ref. numbers.
As for my collection I am budding watch enthusiast myself. Currently I have a very cheap (and poor quality) field watch I want to upgrade once it dies. On it's way I have a Vistok Amphian, and I am seriously considering the Timex Marlin "remix" so to speak. Another sub $200 Dress watch for small wrists. I am a 6 3/4 to 7" but prefer vintage sizes myself.
Sounds like an awesome collection you’re building!
Nice collection...the citizen is very cool...I believe a 34mm Oyster Perpetual is in your future...perfect for your wrist size and you can get one for under 5k...slightly bigger the 36m is also great...might want to check out Tudor BB 36 on a steel bracelet @2k would be a great watch for you very versatile...
We have similar taste! I’m currently hunting for a 34 or 36 OP or DJ (grey or black dial)... trying to decide between oyster or jubilee. I like the casual nature of oyster, but jubilee is so comfy and thin.
Great way for minimalist collection watch.. 👍
Automatic dress watch suggestion!
Check out the Seiko SNKL23 or the SNKL41 man. Love the video. Have an 809 and a 007 in my collection.
If you do want an auto dress watch, I would look at the vintage market. For example, you can snag a vintage omega seamaster from the 60s for a very good price. I recently bought an omega from the 70's with original band and buckle for just a shade over $200. It's square, funky, and minimalist. It sits a bit tall for some folks, but I love the hell out of the watch and it keep excellent time.
Good point. I’ve seen some nice Geneves for $400-600 on eBay...
Fantastic collection! We both have have the SKX013 and Hamilton khaki field. Looking to a dress watch in my collection, preferably Bauhaus aesthetics
Very good collection
Timex weekender is one of my favorite watches ever
I believe the K2 in SKX013 means that it comes on a bracelet. The K1 would be the version with the rubber strap.
If you want a small automatic dress watch you should look for a used one. I bought a 35mm Junghans at a flea market for 30€ and it is awesome :) Are you planning on adding a mechanical chronograph down the line? My next watch will probably be a Seagull 1963 38mm. You get a really great movement for that price
Those Seagulls look cool, but they're very thick. I'm tempted, but would want to try one on before purchasing.
yeah that's true. Fortunately there's a dealer near me where I can try it on
Great collection. Advice, for dress watch, try vintage Omega Geneve. It's not automatic but it is great dress watch, elegant, pure class and great for your wrist, 36 mm. And it's not very expensive.
Best regards from Croatia
Hi. Nice video. You can consider Orient Stella for automatic dress watch. It is under 37mm. Cracking piece. Cheers!!!
Dogs are just the friggin best
Love the SKX013. Try it on shark mesh sometime, they look awesome.
My new Hamilton Khaki Field mechanical no date is my favorite watch I own
Very respectable value minded collection. Love the vintage piece, looks like they took cues from Cartier.
your dog is so cute, oh and great video
Love the square Citizen
My wrists are as small as yours so this video was helpful! I found the Seiko that you own, the SNK805, but I decided to get the SNKE01k1 from the Seiko 5 Collection. Very nice watch, worth every €. :)
edit: The watch looks so different then the Amazon picture! But that's definitely good.
What an incredible watch for that price!
Check out the Citizen Stiletto. Super slim and small dress watch. It's also my most complimented watch (and I own a few).
+Heimdallr will do!
Very nice video!
The k means that it was made in Malaysia and the 2 means that it came on the jublee. Also wearing my SKX013K1.
I think you should check g-shock gwm5610, which is also a really good looking watch for small wrist people
Where do you get your t-shirts from (more specifically the one in this vid)? Thanks!
Gotta a automatic Seiko in stainless steel with a black textured dial on a black leather strap, a rose gold Orient tourbillon with a white dial on a brown leather strap and a Bulova that I kinda use like a Weekender or a Daniel Wellington because I change natos on it like underwear.
I would recommend you check out the Vostok Anphibia. Its a great everyday watch, Automatic and there are endless Dial/Case options to choose from.
SKX013 with Oyster Bracelet. My new fav watch! High five brock! ✋
+Bat Vigilante ✋️
You were deciding between the $60 Seiko and the $300 Hamilton... Decisions, decisions.
And somehow ended up with both!
Have the seiko one not so imprest with it, the Hamilton is probably great but then you can get a realy good seiko to so life is a bitch. You need some braselets to change with.
I bought my brother a Citizrn watch just like that one but Eco Drive and Citizen is great for that because then you do not need a battery and yet it is always ready to just throw on and go.
No MVMT or DW? You got a new sub. So many fashion channels promoting garbage its awful. I also have skx013 and because of its size I truly think it can be one watch collection. On a bracelet it call also pass as dressy piece. Perfect watch.
I wore "fashion watches" when I was first getting into watches, but my preferences have definitely evolved. The thing is, it's so hard for people to figure out which brands are good/bad. For example, my aunt was about to buy a Skagen or DW watch for her son (my cousin) as his first watch. I steered her toward Brathwait/Citizen instead, but on the surface they look like the same thing (especially Skagen vs. Brathwait). There's no way to tell the difference unless you have a basic understanding of the components, history, etc.
But yeah man, the 013 is an amazing piece. Definitely the one I would keep out of the collection, if I had to choose.
Aleksa - What size is your wrist? I was thinking of getting the SKX 013 for myself.
Hello, can you tell me the size of that gold brown stap watch (citizen) :)
For a dress watch, you can't go wrong with the seiko SARB035. It beats the Bambino hands down (in terms of quality and value). And it is 38mm in diameter. Great video by the way. I'm a big fan of the channel.
Muorter Majok it is a very different style, I guest it beats bambino in quality, but bambino is a great dress watch for little $.
I have two reservations about the Orient Bambino: the case diameter...the smallest one being 40.5mm, and the odd choice of 21mm band width.
I wouldn't be surprised if they made a smaller version sometime in the next year. Maybe just wishful thinking...
Nice choice! I like the black dial version too (033 I think).
Totally agree! I have the Sarb035 and the Orient Bambino and the Sarb is by far my favorite!
Orient has a 36.4mm Bambino now. I have one and love it
May I ask which strap is that on the Hamilton ? looks like a 2 piece perlon. Is it comfy?.
I also agree with the size. I have a small wrist, so i have to keep doing research in newer models that fit the criteria. Another thing to pay attention is the lug to lug distance and the shape they have, it gives a pretty good idea how the watch will settle around the wrist.
+Juan Jose Quinteros Rivas yup, it’s a perlon (link in description). Needs a little more breaking in, but I love how thin it is.
love that citizen!! Check out Hamilton jazz master 38mm for your next dress watch
Im a Seiko fan too. Needless to say I get a lot of heat for this
Ever thought about a vintage timex for a dress watch? Mine is 34mm and hand winding.
Brock - We are NOT discussing here regarding dress watches is it, because of your other video I liked the 'The 5th' dress watch and will consider to add it to my list and whenever you have time please analyze DW dress watches and let us know your opinion.
Thanks for your videos.
Do you try watches on in person or order them and hope for the best? I would like to see how the SKX 013 looks on my wrist before buying.
I usually just do a lot of research. Find a UA-camr with similar sized wrists, and you can get a pretty good idea for how it will look. Also, many places have friendly return policies.
I'm feeling all of these watches and I want to go the minimalist route as well.
I don't want to become a watch guy. Just want a few nice ones that compliment my wardobe.
+Tyrone E exactly!
Some affordable watches I like are the orient bamino ll,timex weekender and a seiko diver.
For a dress watch I say get a vintage longines or omega which can be had for $350 to $500 Canadian
If you have a medium to small wrist then you should definitely pick up the SARB033 or 035. It is 38mm and it looks great when you're dressed up or casually dressed. It is probably the best watch you can find under 500. If you were just going to own one watch and didn't want to spend Rolex money then the Seiko Sarb is your best bet.
That is a great choice!
I got an orient blue mako, it's dope
You can buy a vintage Omega seamaster or gevève. They are some sweet looking watches.
Great collection for the money. You have several tasteful options for less than $500
Thanks!
I love my Hamilton Khaki Mechanical.
