  • Today, Eric ( @LumeShot ) and I go Watch Shopping at Carat & Co. in New York. We first start out with a $30,000 watch shopping budget, but had to increase it to $50,000 so we could continue going. In the end we'll sit down and compare our Watch Collection. Who do you think built the BEST Watch Collection? (me) Hope you enjoy!

    Derek serving as a Santos Medium ambassador? It's no surprise that I have one myself. Would love to discuss my 50k collection next time I'm in, Derek! And I hope you're doing well, Eric! That Fiftysix is looking sharp.

    A great episode - please partner together more often! And great choice with the Santos. I've loved my WSSA0037 and WSSA0039.

    Nice, fun episode. Loved both of your approaches. I think Derek’s collection was better in the end.

    With Derek's GMT pick, I totally would've swapped the hydroconquest for a different diver and snagged the zulu time! great videos guys

    Great choices and fun video. I like how it is long form and there is a good deal of discussion around the choices here.
    If I were to do this I would've chosen as follows (30k budget):
    - Omega Railmaster (My current everyday watch which I wear on a rubber strap, also this is super expensive retail wtf xD) [5700]
    - Grand Seiko SLGH013 (I'd put this on a leather strap) [9500]
    - Glashutte original panomatic lunar Blue dial (simply elegant piece) [9900]
    - Longines Zulu Time anthracite dial (High quality GMT and is an alternative to the Omega) [3150]
    - King Seiko SPB287 (For the dial, heritage and overall look / proportions alone) [1700]
    Total : 29950

    For me - Speedy 3861 Hesalite, Santos Medium, Submariner no date, GS Omiwatari and a nice vacation to Belize🤣🤣

    Derek's collection was more well rounded and better balance. Eric's collection had THE heavy hitter going with the Breguet. Eric FTW

    For sure i would love to have a chance to do a fantasy shopping day. I currently own a GMT-coke dial 2005, Sinn U1-T SDR, which is actually my everyday watch. I am now looking at a another purchase. I am looking for a whote face dial from Omega or Grand Seiko. While i like Glasshutte, i noticed they dont have white dials for the Sea Q-panoramic. Seems like white dials are not in demand. Great video! Love the Cartier santos

  • @JinxPalm2023

    Other than the Cartier, GS and Tissot, all those other pieces look too big on your wrists. Since I have a smaller wrist myself, I feel pieces on leather should be no bigger than 38mm and on bracelets no greater than 40mm 💯
    On a side note, I think another unique idea would be to have one of your UA-cam viewers come into the store and play this game of best watches under a certain amount dollar wise. It'll be fun and good for community 👍
