Your wife is actually not too wrong and she might be the logical voice of reason we all need! It was her remarks about the Seiko GMT that was so spot on, their bracelets really do let down a lot of their watches.
1st off your seiko landmaster is the best watch of all time..." what the wife said" was one of the funniest ive heard! lol merry christmas to you and the family Russ!
My top 5 purchases of 2024: Squale Y1545 grey dial and bezel on bracelet, Squale 1521 black dial, blasted case on blasted mesh bracelet, my pre-owned Hamilton Ventura Elvis80 on bracelet, Seiko SPB155 “Baby Alpinist” and finally my two Erebus Ascents. Honourable mentions to Erebus Origin 38mm in hot pink dial with SS bezel insert and my Erebus Origin GMT, polar/pepsi variant ❤
I also owned the SLA071J1, the land master , number 7XX , such a bargain for a great watch , 8L35, insanely beautiful dial, very second hand is so well finished .
Wow!! Fantastic collection Russell. I guess it’s an honorable mention, but I have to say I have Spitfire Envy!!! And I don’t think that one has any squid teeth!! 😝😅🤠
Always entertaining watching your reviews. great stuff. Ps Based on one of your videos, i ordered a SKMEI the homage to a Casio AE1200, what A brilliant buy, it used whilst swimming in the sea, in a swimming pool, in SAUNA and in the desert. i couldn't rate it enough.
Casio snuck another G-Shock in at the end of the year, the DW-5000R, almost an exact 1:1 of the original DW-5000C. I wish they’d listed the water resistance in meters like the original. Even the bezel is the older style unstepped. I snoozed when it first came out but then got a notification from the website and didn’t hesitate - a real screwback with the brick pattern. Looking forward to your review.
All cracking choices on the top ten (in my opinion). I think my favorite of the bunch is the Monta. Loved the comment from the Mrs. "Making me think of cigarettes" for the Vulcain. If it didn't before, I think about cigarettes now for that Vulcain. 🌞 Great job, as per normal.
Why does your wife's comments make perfect sense in my head lol Especially comparing the Vulcain to cigarettes. For some reason I know exactly what she means haha! The dial on the blue Seiko is serious! And I am now looking into that Momentum watch as well. Great stuff MWC!
Beautiful Russ - great fun! And great watches! My favourite of the year is the silver and blue Bulova Computron which I haven't understood and therefore not appreciated for so long. At around 180 £ it's the best retro-scifi watch out there imho with a great history to it. Cheers mate, I love you 💙
Hey Russ - I have the Momentum Sea Quartz 30 and an M1 Splash in my collection. I’m still waiting to take delivery of the UDT which I purchased last month. Happy Xmas to you and ‘the wife’. 🎅🏻
Great video mr mwc, transformers eyeball that’s brilliant, 😂 if it hasn’t got a nickname already you should name it Optimus. I really like that vertex since owning the m-hkr I see these nato strapped field watches in a whole new light, never interested me b4 now I love them. 👍🏻
I like both the Casios , though I’m one of the old farts with so so eyes 🥸, I’d probably go with the easy to read unit , although the Casiotron looks very cool😊. Of the analogue style I always prefer numbered easy to read dials , so your number one also looked super cool to me . I liked the zero west too , And the Vulcain Cricket with the see through back ….. super cool ! 😎
All great, Vertex amazing, Cricket outstanding and I need to get a Pogue I think. Thanks for a great year of watch fun MWC, you surpassed my 250 prediction way back in Jan 👊👍
I confess I have to agree with your wife................................................................ on her verdict of the Vertex. It's the number one... that is also the number one on your list as well. A result!
hey man, at first I don't like your videos - you have waaay too much energy, feels like my brain on 4 shots of espresso, but you slowly grew into me as your videos kept popping up as youtube suggestions, and now when I watch other watch review channels they are so boring compared to yours. my wife also agree with your wife's opinions on watches so high five haha! keep up the good work bud!
Just looked at one I believe to be the same unit , it’s listed as Casio AE1500WH-1 I think if you change the last number in the model no. To 2 it gives you the blue colored variation . I hope that helps .
hi russ, great review & comments again! i’m also in love with Vertex, but feel the price is a little high. btw, i’d love to sell you my Seiko M516-4009 “Ghostbusters” Watch OR trade? happy to send you link. Ed
Vertex, may as well be Smiths but Smith's are clearly cheaper. If we accept China made then may as well go with Baltany and put the rest of the money to better use. 🤔
You do you brother. I need more than the sum of its parts. I need a watch with a story, with a meaning for being made. Not just because there’s a gap in the market for making cheap dirty dozen lookalikes!! I love Smiths, they aren’t Swiss made nor I they made with the same materials and manufactured in the same place as Vertex watches. That is reflected in the price. Smiths now are very well made watches, I’d go for the closest one that resembles the Deville ! The watch that went up Mount Everest!;) or a W10!
Hi MWC I would just like to say I think your give aways very generous pal looking forward to new reviews 2025 especially Seikos all the best to you and yours . Hoping for the Seiko blue berry I just love it👋🇬🇧
Your wife is actually not too wrong and she might be the logical voice of reason we all need! It was her remarks about the Seiko GMT that was so spot on, their bracelets really do let down a lot of their watches.
I look away for a few months and your at 264K!!! So incredibly proud of your hard work! Well deserved.
That means a lot my friend thank you!!
Totally agree. Love your channel. Mixing great knowledge and watch insight in a style that makes me smile! The best of a very good bunch!! 🫡
That blue dial titanium Seiko is GORGEOUS
Meh, get the Seiko Miyota movement in blue Dial with the “San Martin” at even better price.
@tropicthndr I'd prefer the Seiko, though.
BUT WHAT MODEL IS THIS PLEASE? THANK YOU!
@@tropicthndr Myota is Citizen bra
@@ff_00_00 Seiko LandMaster 30th Anniversary Limited SLA071J1. It's pricey, I warn ya.
I purchased the Vulcain skin diver earlier in the year, couldn't be happier with it
Your wife is undefeated 😂😂😂😂
A Transformers eyeball is hilarious 😂
Wishing Mr Pagani a merry xmas and a happy new year!
He does to!
Love the channel. Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year mate.
Thank you and the same to you my friend
I love this channel. Thank you for keeping me company this year :D
Thank you more my friend! Glad I could be there
Have a great Xmas and new year - looking forward to your reviews in 2025 - thanks MWC ❤
Loved the Formex
Interesting list. Might have to check some of these out next year.
Whats the model number for that Seiko, Russ? I love that dial!
Sla071
fun video, thanks!
I'm not familiar with the Vulcain, but after your exciting description, it feels like I've just been pushed down the rabbit hole of "get it now"!😮😂
1st off your seiko landmaster is the best watch of all time..." what the wife said" was one of the funniest ive heard! lol merry christmas to you and the family Russ!
"Fairground vibes" 🤣🤣🤣👍
The seiko gmt and speed timer are my favourites but that monta is an absolute stunner ! Merry Christmas fella
And you Mark!!!
That Vulcane is amazing 😍
What's the model number of the Seiko!?
Exactly my question.
The bronze Vertex case is next level
Hello where did you buy ur watch poster on the wall?
Winditonthemove
Good to see vertex, former and Monta. on the list.
God bless you and your wife 🙏🏻
Thank you my friend!
Brilliant!!!
Your wife is completely spot on , again!😂
Great video. I love that Vulcain diver. Wonderful vintage dial. But, yes, it is very flat and cigarettey. 😁
What is the model name of the Seiko with the blue dial? I hate it when presenters just show it and gatekeep the model name.
How about doing some graft of your own y’cheeky git? SLA*** I’ll leave you to work out the last 3 digits!
@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR thanks, I'll get on it.
The wife is a comedic genius. Unintentionally or not.

Just picked up an abl-100we Casio retro, my watch of the year.
Purchased way too many watches this year, but the Damasko D-Sub 50 was my winner.

Have you heard of the traska venturer gmt?? Plans to even review maybe?
One day my friend
Fun round-up, looking forward to 2025!
I think the blue Seiko is this: Seiko Prospex Landmaster 30th Anniversary Limited SLA071 SBDX059.
Great video mr mwc, transformers eyeball that’s brilliant, 😂 if it hasn’t got a nickname already you should name it Optimus. I really like that vertex since owning the m-hkr I see these nato strapped field watches in a whole new light, never interested me b4 now I love them. 👍🏻
Been eyeing up that Seiko Field GMT for a while now, found one for £329 so pulled the trigger :)
Good price!!
Monta with the deceptively marketed Forrest Gump movement or a used Tudor…..that’s a tough one.
I was at work today and I could have swore I saw a guy much older than me wearing a Casiotron. You gotta see it to believe it!
The Seiko SLA071 is a stunner! 👍👍
Amazing show Russ. Always a pleasure to listen in the car! You gotta get TGV’s Hanhart Preventor in for review!!! what an amazing watch for the money
What model is the seiko
Sla071
I have been wearing (and scratching up) the Casio TRN50-2A since it came out. It’s not the perfect watch but it wears very well.
Just bought the Formex Reef bronze in 42mm.
Love your channel but time to review Hanhart . Less mainstream but with the military heritage that you love .
All the best,
Chris Gilling .
I’ve tried to connect a couple of times my friend. Will try again next year
What is the model of the blue dial Seiko please?

The manga series i need to get! But ebay prices are crazy!
I know it’s rubbish;(

Still waiting for Vertex to release that stretchy bracelet for the 40mm
Also, have coming but won’t arrive til 2025, a Casiotron as well, picked it up for less than £375 on Aussie dollar equivalent ❤

Loved the wife comments.
Which is your pick out of the Formex and the Monta?
Loved that Seiko with ‘a lot of metal’
Ooooooo that’s hard ! Probably the Formex as it’s a diver and I’m more a dive watch bezel guy!;)
I do like that seiko
It’s amazing but I only the mechanical seiko’s look like they are worth buying
