It's time! That's right, I have finally made a video on the state of the collection 2022!
As a very new watch enthusiast, slowly becoming collector I have put this video off for quite some time, basically because I was unsure anyone would be too interested. However I've been asked a number of times for one, so here it is as at 12 December 2022.
Thanks as always for watching, Jess x

Jessica, you have a great collection…it’s not in the least embarrassing. You have some of the most iconic watches and brands! Love the videos, keep it up!
Thank you so much!
Awwww, mate! Dont ever feel like your collection is not good enough. I love your collection. That Tag Heuer Monaco and both Panerais 😍😍😍😍!!!
Much appreciated, thanks mate.
Amazing collection. Refreshing to see a small UA-cam channel like yours sharing the passion of watches. I wish I could afford a panerai 😅
Thanks!
Great collection! You shouldn't be embarrassed about anything -- you have some extremely nice watches 👍
Thank you kindly!
I would say adding a German watch would be cool, a GO would be cool even a Nomos. Or just another PAM maybe a radiomir would be sick. You could leave your collection as it is and its insane good but it is always fun to add. I have decided to just go only hand crankers selling my last auto. cheers
A German watch could be a good addition for sure!
You be you!!! We all have totally different adventures thanks for being so passionate…. And sharing… have safe happy healthy New Years!!
Thanks Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you too!
Thank you so much for sharing! I love the story of how your wife surprised you with the Panerai.
Thank you...
Hi, first time watcher and just subscribed. You have a great collection and we have some similar tastes. I'm from West Sydney and started collecting around 3 years ago so a newbie as well. Went straight down the rabbit hole and over 200 watches later decided to sit back and take stock. Recent purchases this years have included a Speedy, Airking (previous model), Superocean Heritage 42, BB Heritage (Smiley red bezel), Rado Capt. Cook, PRX, Casioak x2, GP dress and a Seagull chrono. Good luck with your journey. PS My grail is the no date sub as well!
Thank you! Some epic purchases this year that's for sure!
Great vid thanks for the real world summation of whats good because you like it. Happy Ho Ho Ho enjoy the holidays
Thanks John!! Great surname btw!
I loveeee your Omega Seamaster!
Thank you, so do I! haha 😉
This is the first video I’ve seen on this channel. But first of all; just be proud of what you have and don’t worry about whether your collection is “good enough”. You’ve got some cool watches there that all would be awesome “one-watch collections”!
Keep up the good work. I’ll be watching a lot more.
Thanks Russell!
The background music is very relaxing
Glad you think so!
I have a 6.25” wrist so I am always conscious of watches that are too large so I think it’s awesome that you are brave enough to wear large watches. I love Omega, saving for one as we speak. I am more into micro brands these days with Zelos and Cristopher Ward being my version of my holly grails. Keep the vids coming!
Thanks so much.
Christopher Ward is a brand I’ve only recently started to look at. They are incredible value/quality for money.
Maybe add a Tudor (rolex's little brother) and a Hamilton a Longine's a Cartier and a Tissot. I see you favour chunky watches.
Yeah I really would love a Hamilton.
Cool collection! Given the style of your watch collection I think you ultimately should add an AP Offshore or Diver👍
Panerai due is the most beautiful I think
It's a stunning watch for sure...
Loved the collection ! it's the first video I see from your channel and it's great, you have a new follower here hehe. Cheers from Barcelona
Thanks for the sub! P.S. I love Barcelona!!
Love the collection!
Thank you!!
Thanks for the post. I hope you are learning that the only person you should look to please with your collection is you. Have fun and join a watch club if there is one close to you. Cheers,
Thanks, yes I’ve joined the Australian Watch Club - it’s great!
I envy your collection. Quite diverse. No No Sub no date not boring. Have one myself. Have Breitling as well. You also have great taste in what you drive. As of recent ex 911 owner (it was time but looking for another air cooled). Hmm were we separated birth?? Similar taste
haha I'd love a 911 but I'm a little way off that yet!
We both have a Mission to Saturn 😈
I have a M2 Moon too, but my M2 Jupiter is my favourite!
Never wearing them though haha.
Have seen them on fitted to case rubber which look really cool IMO.
Love You Love Big Watches 😉
Eclectic collection, but God Speed to you and your channel 😍
Thanks!!
Hey -there. Don't be embarrassed about YOUR collection. It's whatever watch makes you feel good, as it only really needs to make sense to you: regardless of what marketing & watch "experts" tell you.
The Mantra I live & buy by is:
"Buy the watch you like the look of - regardless of the name on the dial. After all, you're the one looking at the dial between 60-70 times a day."
Every watch has a story & for the watches which I no longer have, i can tell you exactly a period in my life when they had meaning (and fondness) but also why I no longer own them.
Nothing wrong per-Se, but your tastes change...
My current pieces are: SWATCH ( multiple - love these things), SEIKO, NOMOS GLASHÜTE (German made at its finest & super affordable), PANERAI, BLANCPAIN.
Gone but never forgotten: TAG HEUERs (Multiple & my first Swiss), BREITLINGs, OMEGA, ROLEX (Multiple), PANERAI, GRAND SEIKO (Japan at its pinnacle in precision), STEINHART, ORIS (alarm - would still own it except way too small).
On my radar: G-SHOCK, SWATCH, JLC REVERSO.....at the moment 😄
This hobby has no end - fun for us, but not our bank accounts.
Be well & Merry Xmas to you & all those dear to you.
The options are endless and yes you are so right... I live by the mantra of buy what I like. I can't buy them for "investment" like some and even if it's the worst "financial investment", if I like it, I would still buy it. I love the Casioaks, so might need to grab one of those and I agree JLC (anything) but Ultrathin and Reverso are way up the list!
I'm a chronograph collector. I started off with a 1973 SEIKO UFO automatic cronograph-day-date. I inherited from my father & has incredible functionality. The watch is almost 50 years old, has never been serviced & still keeps good time. Then I wanted an omega moon watch. I discovered, that watch was hand wound & not very waterproof. Not as good as my SEIKO. I looked at the Rolex daytona & though they were inferior to my seiko again. The Rolex didn't even have a day date, with the cronograph. I ended up having to buy a Grand Seiko Cronograpgh spring drive. It was the only cronograph, that has even more functionality, than my original Seiko. No way do I want a Rolex anymore, I'm no paying that much for an inferior watch.
I really do need to check out the Grand Seiko, everyone keeps telling me how brilliant they are!
You've got a nice collection there. I've been taking an interest in Panerai myself lately. I think I'd go for a manually wound piece w/ display caseback & 8 days power reserve.
Have you taken a look at Mühle-Glashütte? I've got a hunch they might have something for you as well.
Anyhow, I'm a new subscriber. Happy New Year! 🥂🎉
Thanks so much! Manual wind with clear caseback is a great watch!!
That sea-master is awesome. I knew exactly what it was before u even took it off 😂
Thank you, it’s a great watch!
Expensive recommendation would easily be a 43.5mm Omega planet Ocean.
Unless you could get a 45mm’ish Ultradeep 😈
Rolex Deepsea is Rrrrrrrealy nice, but we won’t go there due to availability issues.
Cheaper end of the Scale would be an Invicta Grand Diver Batman. It has a Seiko Movement and satisfies that big watch OTT desire like no other per $
Found you by chance looking up state of the collection watches nice collection love omega the most out of all the watches and have wow huge Pearl ring you don't see that everyday.
Thanks!
Definitely buy what you like! I’ve only got one watch, an Omega speed master Moonwatch as I’ve desired about it for yonks. If I had the capital I’d have a lot more haha!
Excellent watch! Yes, I would have so many if I didn't actually continually stop myself.
Thanks for sharing. You should rightfully be proud of your collection. Many collectors that I know have been into watches for years and don't have half as decent collection as yours. Good thing you didn't get into vintage watches. That's how I started before realising it was a minefield and a money pit. My very first Swiss watch was also a TAG which I bought on sale in Melbourne, but not as nice as yours. It was a diver in two tone and I thought I was the bees knees wearing it around flashing it like a peacock. Now I think back in those days when bumbags were in and Hanson's MMMbop was top of the music charts, how embarrassing!!! I also just recently bought the Moonswatch Uranus as a mockery to my rebellion against buying a real Speedy, which I'd already bought and sold twice. I initially hated the MoonSwatch but now with the colourful and battery operated option, I can have a serious thongs and t shirt watch. I also have that Casio FW91. Bought it after seeing Osama Bin Laden wear one. They are apparently used by the Taliban to make bomb timers.
Moonswatch as a thongs and t-shirt watch, that's perfect! Oh dear, no idea about the FW91, but I guess it makes sense. Affordable and reliable. Let's not talk about these matters anymore.
@@AussieWristWatch Thongs as in flip flops for your American viewers. However the MoonSwatch would also go perfect with a bikini and a Bellini.
Love the collection. As I've said before, the Glashutte SeaQ Panorama Date would be a great addition. The blue dial is stunning. I have the 39.5mm but I have a smaller wrist. Hopefully you'll get that Sub soon. How about a Casioak for something cheap?
Thank you. Yeah maybe on the Casioak, I'll check them out again. I missed the boat on the John Mayer Casio which is a bummer as I have been a fan of his since his early days.
Great video. Some of these SOTCs put me to sleep, but not this one.
Thanks!
Great video. A Doxa would be nice in your watch collection
I agree!
Awesome watch collections ya have
Thanks!
Very nice and diverse watches. Since you mentioned you like bigger watches, what are your thoughts on watches like the Breitling Aerospace (various years) and Bremont models? I feel they look distinctive enough and their pre-owned prices are usually very reasonable. On the lower priced end of the spectrum, the various Seiko Turtle models are another unique-looking and rugged option. I'll add in a shoutout for the Speedmaster models, since I love my 3572.50 hesalite-sandwich for its strap versatility, wrist presence, and history.
thank you and nice collection. I need to check out the Bremont watches for sure!
Nice video - like the relaxed conversational style. But I assume you are being ironic calling the collection ‘humble’? You have Tags, Panerai’s, an Omega - might be $20k of watches there - pretty luxury.
Thank you! I wasn't really being ironic, but I take the point. I feel like most who are "watch experts" on UA-cam seem to have Rolexes and other crazy brands, so I was nervous about sharing and being judged! But yes your point is valid, I am fortunate for sure.
Agree. This is anything but humble at least compared to what most people have in their wrists.
@@AussieWristWatch most watch “experts” on UA-cam have their heads up their own fundaments. You do not.
Good video! But there is no "good enough" about a watch collection. It's yours and it's your stories attached to them. I hesitate to recommend as somehow you and the next watch need to find each other. But as mentioned earlier in the comments, something German has its own sensibility and my Grand Seiko is a joy: wonderful boutique they have in Sydney too. The favourite is always the one you think oh, this one today. And that can be a modest Hamilton or my Moonwatch which is honestly like a second skin.
Thanks and yes I should be proud. I have to still check out the Grand Seiko models properly and will do this in the New Year for sure. I keep walking past that store and eyeing it off.
The f91w! If you visit the states, walmart sells them there for like 12 dollars us and you know its authentic. Lol
It must be legit then!! I got another one for secret Santa this year and it was identical.
Great collection I love my Omega SM 300m too I replaced the stock rubber strap for the Omega GMT planet ocean alligator and rubber strap with the Omega deployment clasp. Totally changes how it feels and looks couldn’t be happier. I almost bought the IWC Amg pilots watch because I have an AMG but went with the big pilot 43 and are definitely not disappointed
Oh nice one re the strap! Ah yes, an AMG for an AMG would be cool, but the Big Pilot 43 is just so classic.
I have that Casio. Haven't figured it out yet either.
Thank goodness I'm not the only one! haha
Nice video. Buy what you like.
Thanks, I will keep doing that.
so you couldn’t get the rubber strap on the Tag, hence why you bought the Omega which has a rubber strap already on it!😅
Great collection but wouldn’t call it a beginners collection, you have some very nice pieces there. Interesting that you like large watches, I’ve started to appreciate the smaller compact watches more now but I think you have just rekindled my desire for the Seamaster. That black looks absolutely gorgeous but I’m not sure if my skinny ass wrist will pull that off (6.5”). Will definitely be worth a visit to an AD to try this on along with the Pelagos 39, both watches right up my street 👍
I was going to say nice collection, but I wouldn't call it humble.... it's all relative I guess. Anyhow, congrats on some beautiful pieces!
Try it on. I think my wrist is 17.5cm if that helps, but definitely try it on.
thanks...
ua-cam.com/video/hNtll1epf90/v-deo.html I just watched this on how to make a Casio Oak look like a Audeman's Piquet Royal Oak .
Wow!
Love your videos. I just subscribed. Are you still looking for a Rolex Submariner No Date? I have a 14060M year 2002, all original, that I am selling. In fact, I just posted it for sale on Chrono24 earlier today.
Thank you. No but thankyou. I have a Sub Date now which is more than enough for me. I love it!
my wife got one... wtf!
😂
