So sit back and enjoy the best affordable watch collection you have ever seen and marvel at my superior taste and style.

Fantastic SOTC. This reminded me to add you to my recommended watch channel list! OMG, that Rotary just stole the show for me. Absolutely pure class. LOVE that Zeppelin!! That Seiko Dolce too. The Tissot is gorgeous. Keep up the great work, onwards, upwards and best regards.
TGV
Thanks TGV! You are too kind! I really appreciate it. I think you can take the credit for the Rotary and Zeppelin as I first saw those in your videos and I only became aware of the Seiko Dolce line after you bought that tank style Seiko Dolce. I guess you could say I’m a big fan lol. Cheers, Louis.
Absolutely love the EFV-110D. I have it's bigger brother the EFV-100D and it's my favourite watch so far on a tan suede leather strap
Yup you really can't beat either one for the money. Amazing value!
I also love the Rotary piece. I have the same kind with black inner circle from Rotary (with a tuxedo vibe). I love that piece. Overall a really awesome collection!!!
Ah yes I was torn between the two, both look fantastic, but then this one popped up on eBay for less than half the retail price so my mind was made up for me. Thank you for your kind words!
Problem solved then. ;) The form factor of that watch is out of the park, isn’t it? Thin case and small size is the perfect fit for the wrist. Feels really good when it’s on the wrist.
@@supercrunchy Yes I love how thin it is! Too many moderns watches are thick and bulky but this one is perfectly proportioned :)
Nice collection. Subbed.
Thank you!
Getting a lorier will be a killer watch to the collection.
Yes I can't wait!
Nice collection! 😍

- Orient Bambino 38mm

Thank you I appreciate it! There are some great choices there my friend. Go for it and don't look back!
Whoa that Rotary is gorgeous
It is isn’t it?
@@thewholecutdo you enjoy your dolce or rotary more? Difficult to decide!
@@thomasmagnac997 I think the Seiko because it's slightly smaller and suits my tiny wrist a bit better but it's. tough choice!
Hello, and thanks fot this SOTC vid! I prefer mechanical than quartz watches but you have some nice onces (The Art Deco Rotary for example). About mechanical onces, we are sharing two watches (the 1963 and the Scuba Dude). And I would have loved to share the Venezianico Ultra Black with you too, but sadly it is no longer produced for now. I also really like two other watches : Of course the Marlin, especially with this mesh bracelet, and the so beautiful Presage "Matcha".
Thank you! I'm sure Venezianico will be making more so it might be worth dropping messaging them to find out when it will be available again :)
Thats a great collection mate. I was wondering where you bought the vostok from.
Cheers I appreciate it! I bought it on eBay. Thanks!
Nice collection mate
Cheers!
Nice collection i am at 26 watches and have stopped collecting. Have enough variety. None of my watches surpass $600 most are sub $100. Prefer a good high quality value variety than few expensive watches as well.
Thanks! I think I prefer having a lot of affordables too! Lots of choice and less anxious about them getting damaged or lost/stolen. Cheers!
Beautiful collection! I'm glad I discovered your channel. I also have slim wrists (6.5") and a love for elegant pieces. Did you mention in any of your videos what your wrist size is? I suppose it is close to mine.
Thank you! My wrist is 6 inches 👍
I hate quartz wathes, yesterday i miss a vintage mechanical regulateur watch, type IWC regulateur, what a miss😢
That's a shame there are lots of really nice quartz watches!
would you be interested in selling timex marlin to me?
Trust me, owning a Rolex GMT gives you more happiness than any less expensive watches ever could. You pay the price but it's worth every penny. Hopefully you can buy a Concorde one day.
I'm sure you're right. One day!
When I see an expensive watch two things, look at me or steal me. What’s really funny it doesn’t matter how much the fucker costs it has the same purpose to tell the time……….
@@tooxtalivai0690 Nope. I never bought an expensive watch for a look at me, considering it has a scratch on every corner of its cases. Also if you just want to tell the time rather than apprentice someone's craftsmanship then don't buy a watch, look at the clock on your phone.
@@tooxtalivai0690rolexes, APs, pateks also tell you how rich you are 😁
@@tooxtalivai0690I have a 20 dollar Casio I wear playing tennis and get as much joy out of than wearing my most expensive watches. No doubt different kinds of enjoyment, but I wouldn’t say one is more than the other. I could easily only wear my Casio 😂
Low level. Always Casio? 😢
I guess I'm just a low level person.
