That collection is more "my style" than any other I've seen online. Gorgeous designs and brands many people have never heard of. I'd buy the second to last one if I ever found one, (same for most of the others).
Hi Will, thnx for your various inspiring watch talks. It’s very refreshing to have somebody talking about his watch collection from passion, fun factor and corresponding memories point of view. Completely different from most talks and articles which tend to focus more on collecting grail watches, consider watches as investments, only focusing on the top of the pyramid. For myself, I also collect unknown/very affordable vintage divers. And enjoy every morning to choose another one to wear, based on size, color, design or great feeling it provides. Hope to see more new watch talks from you !!
Great video! This is my exact approach. I'm sick of buying name brand vintage watches that eventually need hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth of "service". Please add more. Thanks!
Some very unique pieces, lovely collection. I admire that you don't care so much for the brand and instead choose watches that you are drawn to rather than following the herd so to speak. Thanks for sharing!
Admire your love for your watches Will! Your videos have me intrigued because they are some of the most interesting watches I’ve seen. I’m always digging for those lost and forgotten brands that fell by the wayside during the quartz crisis. Great video mate🤝
I'm a new watch collector and I needed to see this video. There are so many watch collection videos online that lead one to believe there are only certain brands you should be spending your money on. Its refreshing to see a different perspective. To not worry so much about brands or specs and just appreciate the design if it connects to you.
What a great taste! The 70’ies vibe, the cushion cases, the rugged leather straps and the vivid dial colours. What a great collection. I have the same weakness for 70’ies square cases and colours. It must definitely have taken quite a bit of time to hunt these things. Congratulations!
Enjoyed the opportunity to look over your collection. Thanks. That said, many of these watches are not 'budget' timepieces. First one I looked up was the Hema & they average around the $1200-$1700 mark. Not a criticism; just a reality check about how much these things can cost. Thanks anyway. 👍
Very very nice collection! Enjoy it! Loving watches to me, is loving the watches not some kind of money the may stand for. And like you, i like the memories i have with each of my watches, good or bad. But memories. Very cool! Be true to yourself and get what u like and love wearing. 👍🏻 I‘m quite sad, that watches today are mostly just a status symbol... 😥
Where do you usually buy from? I am always wary of ebay as there are so many unscrupulous sellers but love the vintage watches people forgot about. I have a very similar view on watches as you, and abdolutely love your collection. Very cool.
Thanks a lot. I generally but from eBay to be honest. Sometimes it’s a pain but as I often buy from the same dealers/collectors it generally works out ok. I don’t bother with anyone with less than 99% feedback these days. Not worth the hassle. But in those instances where everyone’s honest and polite, and the watch is as described, it can still be a very satisfying experience.
What a lovely collection of esoteric vintage pieces! This was as intriguing to me as any episode of talking watches as you’re a true enthusiast. I love that strap on your Edma which has stitching that echoes the pepsi bezel! Are you not a fan of steel bracelets?
Thanks for your generous comment! I am a fan of vintage bracelets (especially beads of rice on chronographs) - I’ll make sure I show them in the next watch video. Thanks for watching! W
I really like your video. Love for watches should transcend brands. They are beautiful objects and a pursuit og the unattainable: The perfect measurement of time. Well done WIll. Wouldn't be great to have a little video made by all "normal guys" that like collecting ?
Good question! I put the gloves on because with close-up macro shots the watches get covered in fingerprints otherwise. I have no white gloves so the leather ones worked ok. I definitely wear my watches! Thanks for watching (I agree - panda dials are gorgeous)
Thanks for watching. Let me know if you have any questions/comments about my collection or my approach to collecting.
Best wishes

This is my kind of collection, watches that I like, that speak to me, doesn’t matter the price or brand, nice video!
Oscar Massana cheers, Oscar. I should probably to an update video soon!
Great collection! So much character in those watches. You’ve inspired me to buy a Hema Chronograph.
Thanks very much. Hope you find a good Hema and enjoy it!
That collection is more "my style" than any other I've seen online. Gorgeous designs and brands many people have never heard of. I'd buy the second to last one if I ever found one, (same for most of the others).
Thanks for your kind words. I’ll make another vintage watch collection video soon!
The coolest watch collection I've seen on YT. Thanks for this.
Cheers, Morgan. Will make a new video soon with a collection update. Appreciate your feedback.
Very nice collection of watches that changes us from what we usually see. And it's much better 👍🏻
👍🏼
Beautiful collection....I love chronographs....your choice of leather straps are right on!
Thank you, Walter! Finding the right strap is a big part of the fun.

Thank you so much! ‘70s watches are so cool (and affordable). Thanks for watching.

They might not cost tens or hundreds of thousands, but some of them are actually coveted piece. Nice collection.
Thank you!

Universal is stunning!
Thank you! It’s a favourite (and a keeper). Would love to see it on my son’s wrist one day when he’s grown up.
Great video! Love the patina 😎
Thank you my friend!

Thanks for your kind feedback. That reminds me - I should probably make another video soon showing the updated collection.
Cool collection 👍awesome
Thanks very much!
I love bullheads. Im glad they are not as popular.

Being nosey, do you wear gloves when you wear the watches or r the watches not worn now. My fave is the panda.
Good question! I put the gloves on because with close-up macro shots the watches get covered in fingerprints otherwise. I have no white gloves so the leather ones worked ok. I definitely wear my watches! Thanks for watching (I agree - panda dials are gorgeous)
Respect from morocco put your Instagram account for us to follow u 💙🇲🇦✅
Thank you.
