    This is what I love about watches. The love of them from all different walks of life. You look at this dude, see the beard and see the hat, then you think this guy is a natural all woods kinda guy….what does he know about watches? THEN BAM!! He rips out an impressive collection of watches, one being the Lorier Neptune which I’m actually looking for (actually I’ll take the Neptune and the Gemini). From the Christopher Ward to the Marathon, to the Lorier to the Oris! He just keeps pulling out bangers. Great video and beautiful collection.

    This collection is so refreshing to see. So many new collectors fall into the habit of buying what others say they should buy instead of what stands out to them. I love it. Subscribed

    The Seagull 1963 is a great option for a mechanical chronograph (hand-wound). You can pick one up for $200 or less, with sapphire, display caseback, and in either 38 or 42.

    I was very anti-watch and then finally broke and gave it a chance. I’m really digging it now. I went with a minimalist style one from Burei. now there’s like three or four from them I want to get. And I don’t even have feel bad about spending the money on them because they’re all around 25-30 dollars.

    I want a watch that is rugged, functional and shock proof oh and keeps time with an attached compass that works. People with too much money and time on their hands are only ever temporarily satisfied and never get it ain’t what you got, it’s who you are that counts. Continue looking outside for whats only found within!

    Love my Damasko DC66. It's almost my daily wear watch and it doesn't have a nick on the case. Not a single nick. Oh, if you get the DC67, you have a choice of GMT or timing bezel. I opted for the GMT bezel and I use it all the time.

  • @flyinb45
    @flyinb45 4 роки тому +4

    Great video! I wanted to offer my $.02 on the Speedmaster Professional hesalite from someone who has owned it and sold it. First off, it's a great watch with a lot of presence and history. Loved those aspects. Didn't care for the fact that the WR rating left me not wanting to get it wet and the newer bracelet with the screw links has very little adjustment in the way of half links or micro positions. This leaves many doing clasp retrofits from other models. Pretty ridiculous on a $5200 watch retail. I'd go used if I were to do it again and go for a model 3570.50.00 which has the pinned bracelet.

    Hey Taylor, Love your collection and it looks like you have narrowed down to a specific style of watches you like.
    LOL I love your answer and that shot for 'Why didn't you buy a Sinn?'
    12:56 Because I wanted a Damasko.
    I been struggling with that question for so long, they both are so identical to me that I can't choose yet. Glad you find a good differntiator between those two and know what you like, I wish to have that clarity someday about watches I like. I end up buying something I think I like (I do like them at that moment) then after wearing them for few months I realise I like this watch but theres something off and I go on a spree of finding something I might like.
    20:25 You should checkout Tudor Pelagos's bracelet, the bracelet flexibility is beautifully done.

    For leather straps, you should check out Two Stitch Straps...they are amazing and you can order the strap to your own custom measurements...they even do great vintage straps...I recently bought an Yema Rallygraf...I wanted it to look like the old school Yema with their distinctive rally straps...Two Stitch Strap made one up for me custom order and all, you can even choose your own stitch color...I highly recommend you check them out for a leather strap for your Christopher Ward.

    • @JLUnit416
      @JLUnit416 3 роки тому

      I recently became enamoured with it as well. Historically, I didn't care much for chronographs because I generally prefer a central, running seconds hand and I didn't like having subdials. Contrast that against my idea that Bauhaus-style watches were a little too minimalistic for my tastes; the Chronoscope seems to strike a balance that I didn't know I liked until I saw it.

    • @JayandSarah
      @JayandSarah 4 роки тому

      Sweet spots are individual. Everyone desires, wants, needs and budgets are very different. For me, I went from many watches, including some expensive ones, to 3 watches that are high quality luxury products and one cheapo beater watch worth $500 that if I smash it or lose it, I could care less.
      Others want 50 seiko watches as their collection sweet spot. For any person who collects valuable timepieces, the issue becomes insurance and storage. If you are going to own 3 watches worth maybe $50 grand, you better have the right insurance on them and to keep changing pieces like underwear, becomes a hassle with your underwriter. Trust me, I know.

    I've gone through 2 dozen watches in the last year from Casio to Sinn to Rolex and beyond. One of my favorites is the $150 Citizen Promaster Diver shown in your video...legible, tough, never needs battery change, accurate, steam punk aesthetics, etc. Waiting for the updated Damasko DA47 which has a full lume dial, bidirectional bezel, and day of week...could be the end of my watch journey hopefully. I agree with you about learning what you like...I thought I wanted fancy watches, but what I really wanted was a rugged, low maintenance, spartan tool watch with crazy lume and arabic numerals.
