    Citizen saved my life! Was swimming and diving in to a river. I come up from the bottom and climbed out to dive in again and was covered in blood, pouring out from my wrist and forearm. Had hit a broken bottle. The strap on the Citizen watch has a big gouge out of it right about where the main veins run. If I had not been wearing the watch that day I believe I would have been in serious trouble as no doubt the veins would have been torn to shreds! So Citizen watches have a place in my heart since that day. Was very lucky!

On my second paycheck, I got a Casio tiffany Datejust since I saw it sitting in the window at the store and got it for £30 after my employee discount.
    Anyways, I'm thinking of picking up the Rotary dress watch after my next paycheck with the bonus I'm getting to round off my 3 watch collection. I wouldn't have even started this collection if it wasn't for you so I just wanted to say thanks for everything ❤

      @@gingershavenosouls7 They are legit in that they sell real watches. As long as the watch you are buying is shown as "in stock", you will receive the watch. Watches that have a wait time are watches they need to source, which could take weeks to never but they keep your money while you wait. Their warranty is most likely worthless so if you have a problem, you're SOL. That being said, on some watches, you can buy from Joma, get it serviced from the brand paying out of pocket, and still save money when compared to buying it from an AD.

    Agreed on Bulova's nonsense, most of their stuff is absolutely horrendous (their prices on their site too). I think they have a few gems though, like you said. Their vintage inspired ones like the automatic Hack/A11 can often be had for under $200 new (I paid $170 for the white dial version); and was my gateway to mechanical watches.
    When people want to move up a bit on the price scale, the Oceanographer and the Jet Star are pointing them (hopefully) back in the right direction when it comes to good watch design. The accuracy of the precisionist movement (+/- 5s/month) and the smooth sweep of the seconds hand on the Jet Star makes it a lot cooler than if it was regular quartz.

I've owned it for a 2 weeks now and absolutely adore it. The quality far surpasses its price point, in my opinion. Although they specified an accuracy of -15/+25 seconds per day, from my observation over two weeks, I've noticed only around a 5-second difference.

    I'm planning on buying my first watch in the new year, as a belated congratulations to myself for making it into uni. I've been looking at the Timex Marlin Chronograph, prior to you showing it in this video (3:13), and I was pretty much convinced. But, having a "Nico somewhat seal of approval" has made me feel a lot more confident in my choice.
    Also, tip for the soundproofing, you said you're in a noise isolating room, however, you appear to be sitting in front of a completely blank wall. If there's no soundproofing on that wall, all the sound will be reflected straight through it, and could even be amplified in some cases. I'd recommend looking into soundproofing it with the soundproofing solutions you see in "productive home office setup tours" (I don't know the exact name (They're are just thin strips of wood, with sound absorbing foam behind them (They come in panels))), as they would still look professional. You could even try to mount some modern looking shelves and put some watch cases on them.
    Just a thought, hope you get better neighbors soon.

      The only option is a second wall with an air gap between. So you get the same clean visual effect, just a few inches forward, but behind it, hidden, is a wall full of foam. And the back side of the wall behind you is then also foam. You lose maybe 8 inches to put in a second wall?
      But really, your neighbors should not expect perfect silence in their cheap office.

      Definitely. Picked up one on sale on Amazon for about $150. I didn't love the style; Though, it's grown me. The movement is so wild. Putting it up to your ear, inside sounds like there's a nano-battlefield, from feudal times...in fast-foward. Relentlessly raging! Bulova put the movement in new models recently retailing around $1,000USD. 🫠

    The first, what i thought was high end watch back when i was poor was a citizen watch. I love that watch...I didnt know shit about watches when i bought it back in 2006 so it is tiny on my wrist. I paid $100 USD for it. That made my heart sink, knowing i needed that money for bills. I had to borrow money from my mum to make the electric bill the month i splurged on that Citizen. That was humiliating for me, really. I still wear it from time to time. I was so proud i had a "high end" watch that was 15mm too small for my wrist. It was with me during the hardest times of my life.... I have Tags, Tudors, a Bulova etc... no Rolex yet, So life is good....but i wouldn't sell my Citizen for 10k today.

It's accurate to within a couple seconds *_per year._* Nico $h!ts all over it. How can an "expert" be this absolutely clueless.

    Casual all around watch
    Casio a700w ~$30-55
    Same iconic look as the famous f91w but modernized with better lume, thinner, and stylish bracelet options. Super sleek and retro. Comes in different variants
    Dress and formal event watch
    Sea-Gull any ~$60-70
    Most are out of the price range but there is usually some Sea-Gull dress watch on sale at any given time. Automatic and a recognizable brand from china.
