Jody I’d just like to point out they you missed the ultimate 3 piece collection 1. Vostok Amphibia scuba dude 2. Vostok Amphibia with tank 3. Vostok Amphibia with fighter jet and KGB logo
I ride my own company. A small garage. My garage in my dreams: $1000 watch collection. My garage just before Corona virus: $500 watch collection. My garage during quarantine: $200 watch collection. My garage at the end of quarantine: what time is it, please?
Well, yes but no. I have a 3 pieces automatics collection, that i actually almost never wear because i'm a mechanic. So i have another 5 pieces G-Shocks for that, but i don't want to ruin them, so i actually just wear to work that one beater G-Shock, and sometimes a Casio SKX... Yeah..
Crazy how I own every watch in your 500$ collection. The only difference is that my p100 is quartz, but it was my first watch every so it holds a special place in my heart!
Every watch Yema makes is striking. I love the Superman GMT, personally. Here's a video idea: The Round-The-World Watch Collection. Pick a prototypical watch from each historic watch-making country. Japan, USA, France, Switzerland, England, Germany. Where did I miss?
Top tip for bambino owners: A 20 mm perlon will widen over time and fill the lugs very nicely. Works great for the summer months here in the Deep South 👍🏼
Since I don´t wear a suit too often and one statute is "no vintage", first list is of the watches I already own: 1) Seiko Alpinist (pre-prospex) 2) Orient Raven Ray II 3) Casio Royale (metal bracelet) Next step, watches I've yet to own, but still in the realm of the attainable : 1) Blue Alpinist (i know, I know, but still...) 2) Hamilton Khaki King or a Smiths Everest (daily driver) 3) Oris Big Crown Pointer (green dial, bronze case) No watch for manual labor.
If you've got the Alpinist, don't bother with the Khaki king. I've got both & the sarb 017 is in a different league...Excellent choices otherwise! Hope that saves you some money 😉Cheers mate 👍🏻
Here's my $1000 3 piece collection. Actually still own all of these. Shirt and tie watch: SARB033 $400 Shirt and jeans watch: Lorier Neptune $500 I bought the V2, which was $400. But the V3 seems to have refined most of the things I dislike about the V2 so I'm happy to put it here. Beater watch: Casio G5600E Solar $100 Overall a sensible, versatile collection pretty bang on $1000. The Neptune and the SARB can swap places as well. Helping to keep things fresh.
For me it would be an SKX, Alpinist (SARB017), and any square resin G Shock with bluetooth. Although I'm fortunate to own many more watches and would normally feel nauseous at the thought of reducing my collection to 3 watches, these three genuinely make me smile when I think of them as an entire collection. I wish I started my watch journey with these three!!
My 3 for £1000 (I own these, amongst others)... Chr. Ward C65 Diver (used,= £400) Tissot T-Touch 2 titanium (like a classier and easier to use G-shock =used, £200, readily available & a bargain ) & Sarb017 Alpinist (got a Khaki King, the Seiko is just better, paid £370 for mine). Good fun video, Cheers mate 👍🏻
My friend and I play this game. The last time $1000 limit it was Casio stainless steel G shock square, Orient Kamasu blue dial rubber strap (get a solid link strapcode later) and a Casio oceanus t200 Happy to see the video came through it was entertaining as usual Cheers!!!
I just ordered my Seagull 1963 from AliExpress, thanks Jody for the review! This will round out my collection which currently includes a Hamilton Khaki King and a Casio DW-5610. That should set me for a while, at least until I realize that I need...
beater - gshock 5610 (live in Europe, so automic clock) dress - Seiko Tank (around 100-150) - super classy, zero maintanence everyday - a citizen (really tough and a great price), preferably CA0641-16X or a Flieger style AW1620-21E
Hey Jody, I think your videos might have influenced my buying choices in the past.. My 3 piece collection that I put together in the past couple months : the Kamasu, the CasiOak and a timex marlin auto (the miyota one with the date) for the suit and tie. Thanks for your advice, I have no regrets so far. 👍🏻
Some great choices in there - I bought a Bambino for my oldest son a few years ago - he loves it as an everyday alternative to his vintage Omega. I've owned several Seikos over the years, but never really understood the 'love' they get. Decent enough watches, but really just commodities to me and they are stretching the prices into territory where there are more interesting alternatives..... I think Vaer watches can fulfil a fair bit of your 'three watch' brief too.
My basic 3 will always be 1. casio protek solar: exercise, outdoors stuff 2. some variant of citizen eco-drive: everyday wear - set it and forget it/it always works 3. good automatic of your choice: for show/grins. Of course I'll pick something up now and then for fun.
Great video! My 3 piece collection right now is: - Steinhart O1 hulk, diver can't miss - Casio GW-B5600AR, digi solar radio beater - Pro Trek PRW60Y, outdoor watch + sensors A watch for any situation!
My everyday watch currently is the Seiko SNK803 in standard strap, but i'll try NATO. In my requirements "everyday" pretty much merges with "beater", but i have the venerable Casio F-105 in readiness for more demanding uses. For dress occasions i may either class up my Seiko with a leather strap if i'm pragmatic enough or just get a simple gold tone quartz with a brown leather strap.
Great video Jody! Fun to think about what brands are delivering the most value right now and offering up designs that balance form and function to cover a wide range of situations. Sticking just with things you have reviewed recently, here is a collection that comes in a bit over $750 USD, splitting the difference between 2 of your price categories. Shirt and tie - Vario Empire (I would choose the handwound movement). Jeans - Zelos Swordfish (I would choose the full lume dial). Overalls - basic G-Shock DW5600 (tough to beat it given the price point and intended purpose).
3 pieces for me under $1000 I’d have to go with a Zelos Mako v3 (jeans and t shirt), Glycine Combat 6 Moonphase 36mm (dress), and a Seiko SNK803 for the field component. I do in fact own 2 out of the three as well (missing the Seiko) so my money is where my mouth is! Great video as always Jody; looking forward to the next one!
Hello Jody, I agree with you in some of your choosing.. my electios for de $1000 (which I personally have) are: A Citizen for the everyday use. From the Of Collection Urban01 (BM8476-23E) black dial and Eco-drive, you can forget about batteries... never stops, as long as it can get energy from any type of light. For the monday to friday office time, I choose the Orient Kamasu, love that green color of the dial. (and as you mentioned, has sapphire cristal, hack and hand wind and in-house movement) For the suit and tie occasions I have a Tissot, great value for the money and its a swiss caliber, one with the powermatic 80. The Tissot Luxury Powermatic 80 You notice that I haven't chosen any Casio or digital. I had a few in the past, (and very happy with the them) but now for that kind of time measurement i have the mobile phone, in my wrist I prefer the"dials with hands"
I love your three piece collection! This is a favorite style of video for me. I loved a three piece collection for years, so I know what it’s like...NO FIN AT ALL!!! Great video as always Jody!
My personal choice i already have: 1. Undone Basecamp 2.Lorier Hydra 3.spinnaker Fleuss But these are everyday watches. I also have as daily wearer a Bambino. My main collection is normally all Vintagewatches. I am a Vintagecollector for many Years. But these are only for freetime use or specials occasions.
My SOTC at the moment is around 500$. Outdoors/Field/Beater is Casioak, but in military green color, for 100$. My suit and tie watch is beautiful cream dial, blue hands Orient Envoy, similar to Bambino, just more expensive, and it is shy bellow 200$. And for everyday I wear Citizen Eco-Drive Chronograph, which was also around 200$. Yes, I only have 3 watches. Recently I decided to shrink my possessions, and from 7 watches I went to only 3.
I suspect there’ll be as many choices of “categories” as there are of watches. My three would be 1. Beach; 2. Dinner out; and 3. Motorsport. Diver, Dress and Chronograph
my perfect three: 1. Doxa jumbo (1957, NOS) - 200 EUr as dreswatch. 2. Belison automatic calendar de luxe (1970, NOS) - 100 EUr for jeans. 3. Casio ae1000w (red, grid modded and hydro modded) for outdoor activities, 30 Eur. Of course, I have another eight watches just in case..:)
Wow Yema! That’s on my radar now 😁 I’m an Ironman fan as well and also like Vostok & Glycine as a great option to add excellent economical value to a Three Watch collection 💪🏼💫
Great vid and options! Yes, that $500 trilogy is mighty fine - I've been building one for my son over the years. In general, I think the 'lower' tier Swatch brands don't get much love, but Tissot (while sometimes a bit Swiss stogy in style) does offer a lot of watch for the money. Certainly when building women's collection (my wife and daughter), Tissot can be very good. Of course, I tend to favour the mighty Seiko (pre Prosper/Presage tacky sub-branding) and I've a Bambino small seconds on the way. While I do own luxury watch brands too, these value offerings do make you question what you pay for with the expensive brands. Often I see more design creativity and less vulgarity with Orient and Seiko than I do from AP and Patek!
Nice Die Antwoord T shirt. You really need to do a "State of the Collection" only with your T-shirts. I look forward to them as much as the watches. 3 piece combo: 1. Casio Compass Twin sensor SGW-100-1V $54US for hiking or roadtrips. 2. Seiko Rose Gold Solar Chronograph SSC566 $230US for dress watch. 3. Orient RayII Blue Dial AA02005D $169US for pretending you can swim. Alternate fancy watch: 2b. Orient Monarch FDD03001W0 $165US for those who really like manual wind watches that look way retro. It's hard to pick only 3...... which is the problem...
I put my order in for the Yema a few days ago, looks to be a very nice diver, interesting movement and a retro look. Can't wait to get it on wrist. With the discount it came to $635 USD with a leather band as well
I have just ordered an Orient kamasu, in green/teal for my daily. I could only find it on amazon for 280 euro here in germany so i ordered it from England. Makes me so happy to see it featured here in the video, i cant wait to get hold of it. I think i will save up for a Tudor black bay now though.
1. Beater:Casio Royale ((Round Dial) 2. Raven Solitude Diver (NH35, range of colours, unbeatable quality) 3. Vostok Amphibia Scuba Dude Blue-green dial on a leather strap (fits under a collar, beautiful, versatile...hey it's my collection & I hate dress watches tbh)
You $500 selection was my favorite! Love that tissot! I just recently got into watches and my first 3 watches I bought are the orient mako ii (with Pepsi dial), Seiko 5 snk805, and Casio dw5600.
God forbid a 3 piece pear down from my collection... here goes! Beater/Pool Watch- Casio Royale metal bracelet version. Weekend Watch - Seiko SKX009j1 Weekday Watch - Orient Maestro (Poor mans Nomos Orion) Yes I’m a Japanese Watch fan! LoL 😆
Hey Jody, Another wonderful video. It's an interesting concept. I'm not sure my personal style would line up with your likes. But that's what makes collecting watches fun. I have lately been expanding my purchases into areas that I hadn't seen before.
An Orient Bambino is super attractive as a gift for my little nephew because Bambino happens to be the pet name that my twin brother calls him. I think it will make a good graduation gift to get him his first big boy watch.
@Jody please do a video on your recommended storage for you watch collection. My collection of Gshocks, Vostoks, Seikos, Spinnaker's, Dan Henry's, steeldive and so in is out of control and not sure how I should store them. I have display case but the original cases are all piling up as well. What do you recommend??
My budget 3 watch collection : 1. Divers watch : Orient Rayll black dial. 2. Every day watch : Seiko Sarb017 Alpinist. 3. Race watch : Dan Henry 1962 panda dial. (Additional) beaters watch : Casio Ga2100(Casioak). Love my collection so far. Next target would be an Omega Aqua Terra!
Here is a version of each list from the newer watches in my collection. $200-suit and tie, Starking AM0184; jeans and t-shirt, Vostok Komandirskie; and overalls and t-shirt, Casio Pro Trek PRG330. $500-suit and tie, Tissot PR 100 Powermatic 80, jeans and t-shirt, Citizen Promaster Diver BN0150-28E, and overalls and t-shirt, Casio G Shock GWM5610. $1000-suit and tie, Seiko Presage SSA343J1, jeans and t-shirt, Seiko Prospex SNJ025, the "Arnie," and overalls and t-shirt, Casio G Shock GAS100. Here is the price for each watch based on current internet search. Many of them were purchased on Jomashop. Starking AM0184-under $50 Vostok Komandirskie- under $60 Casio PRG330-under $90 Tissot PR 100-under $240 Citizen Promaster Diver-under $160 Casio GWM5610-under $100 Seiko Presage-under $450 Seiko Arnie-under $350 Casio GAS100-under $200
Funny thing. I am myself at bigger part heavy metal-jazz-old rock-prog rock guy but with a soft spot to good/the one I enjoy music in general. But despite Die Antwoord are far from my taste I still enjoy their stuff. There is a lot of crazy punk rock DNA in what they do. You find them stupid, crazy, freaky, interesting and finally enjoyable. Good stuff.
Great job, can’t believe the Yema would put “patent pending” mind boggling!? Mine..... 1. Seiko Monster gen 4, 2. Citizen eco drive, 3. Seiko snkl23 (leather strap) Boom 👌🏻
My obtainable 3 watch collection would be: 1. G-Shock DW5600 2. Hamilton Khaki Field 3. Islander ISL-36 Beater, Weekender, Dress. I'd do the Islander over a Sarb033 just because it's got better specs and is cheaper brand new ($350) vs used for the Sarb ($450+). I currently have the G-Shock and a Seiko 5 that resembles the ISL-36. Hopefully one day I get the other two!
The "silver" (really more like pale gold, or "champagne") Hamilton Khaki King is even a little dressier than the black version. I love the look, and I think it straddles the line between shirt and tie and jeans and T-shirt even better. How about a collared shirt and khaki pants (okay, trousers for you Brits) watch?
Excellent stuff Jody, stand outs there are the Yema and the Direnzo. Always been focused on the motorsport Yema’s but the Navygraf looks fabulous. As for Direnzo the new diver is really lovely but I’m still drawn the first model they released. Seems they have something lacking in other brands, design and vision. Only negative was the Hammy really, just never liked it much. Great video though, loved it. 😍
I am 3 watch guy. My collection is: Citizen promaster ny-0040 as my main watch, Omikron small seconds from 60's as a dress watch and Casio Royale for cycling and getting drunk in beer gardens 😀
if you are on an budget always go for 1) tissot 2)seiko or citizen, 3) casio or a timex. even though i am not a fan of fossil watches they are good too.
Some great choices there Jody. I think a three watch collection is definitely a good idea. Dress, diver or field and chrono or digital and you're golden. I however am a bit greedy 😂, but three watches could certainly make for a perfect balance for work and play. I have to say my favourite you chose was surprisingly the Yema, been seeing some great pieces coming from them lately and they're a very intriguing watchmaker. Will you be reviewing any from them in the near future? Anyways thanks for the video and have a good one.
I misunderstood the title. Thought it meant having a collection of three watches comprised of a $200 watch, $500 watch and a $1000 watch. That’s a different video I guess.
If I had to choose from my current collection it would be Dress: Seiko SNKL23 on leather; T-Shirt and Jeans: Gray Seiko New Turtle on Strapcode Endmill/NATO; Beater: classic G-Shock with negative Dial on two-piece NATO. Later this year I might be able to upgrade the SNKL to a Khaki King (Silver Dial) and I can see exchanging the Turtle for some of my Vostok-Mods but...thats not the point of a threepiece, isn't it?
Hey Jodi. You forgot to mention that the Casio Duro is also available with a blue dial (MDV106B2A). I"m hoping that Casio will eventually put out a Hulk (green) dial version. Who knows, and why not, maybe even a blood red dial.
Love your wall clock. Please! It's "For you and ME," not "For you and I..." I did like your selections. especially that Tissot and Hamilton. Classy. The Direnzo is unique and snappy, slightly retro. Cool. Aside from my two Nixon analogs, I have a Timex Ironman Triathlon. It has a bigger, oval, touch-screen face rather than the horseshoe one you picked.
Seagul 1963 Amfibia 200€, no need for a third one The must have collection : Casio 91w, 5600, duro Seiko SNKL23, SKX, SARB Orient Bambino Tissot visodate Hamilton khaki Omega speedmaster, railmaster
Terrible people w good jams is a good summary, between them and Marilyn Manson this year I’ve learned a lot that of things you see can run deeper than just “art” when I always assumed it was the other way around and that they were bland irl
Let's see... limited to around $200 1. Orient Bambino 2. Invicta 8926ob 3. Timex Scout For around $500 1. Timex Marlin 2. Citizen Avion BX1010-02E 3. Casio Duro For around $1000 1. Hamilton Khaki King field 2. San Martin vintage diver (not sure what the reference is) 3. Citizen Avion BX1010-02E I know, no digital watches for beaters. I've had a weird bias against digital since I learned to read an analog clock when I was 6. Young snob I was there...
Timex Ironman as a beater? Those are only water resistant to 100M. That means that they might survive a light rain. The G-Shocks are good to 200M, which means that you can wash the dishes wearing one.
Jody I’d just like to point out they you missed the ultimate 3 piece collection
1. Vostok Amphibia scuba dude
2. Vostok Amphibia with tank
3. Vostok Amphibia with fighter jet and KGB logo
^ look its spammer and his other accounts lol
😂😂😂% forța
That Yolandi shirt tho
I had Jody down as more a Dire Straits man....😬
Ye man niiice
@@richardabazley Yolandi is in dire straits so it makes sense
"There's a red one which is red"
Yup that Casio in red is WAY to much red.
That was for the ‘color blind’ that have ADD!!!

Made me laugh when he said it
I ride my own company. A small garage.
My garage in my dreams: $1000 watch collection.
My garage just before Corona virus: $500 watch collection.
My garage during quarantine: $200 watch collection.
My garage at the end of quarantine: what time is it, please?
What position do you have in your company, Are you the CEO? 😎
Hope you come out the other side of this lockdown and can successfully rebuild your company. Good luck for the future!
That made my day 😁

I'm a basic bastard so I just did:
SKX-009, Sarb-033, G-shock solar... I'll get another one when I know it's true love.
Everyone needs at least one Vostok Amphibia......imho.
Yep I could run with that
A reminder that I need to get rid of the rest of my watches.
Are three watches enough!!! I thought this is Just One More Watch!!!
Today only it is Just Three Watches 😉
@@JustOneMoreWatch tomorrow, one more
Simple math... You have two watches... Then you get Just One More Watch... that's Three! 😆
Yeah... I already have two Nixons. Add one of my Ironmans (Ironmen?) and that would be three. Oh no!
Well, yes but no. I have a 3 pieces automatics collection, that i actually almost never wear because i'm a mechanic. So i have another 5 pieces G-Shocks for that, but i don't want to ruin them, so i actually just wear to work that one beater G-Shock, and sometimes a Casio SKX... Yeah..
I essentially have ten separate three piece collections.
🤣🤣🤣 I hear you bro 👊
That’s about right… Sounds like you’ve done the right thing! I have to say that because that’s about where I’m at to😂
@@JohnBuckmaster-sw3wm Glad to be in such fine company, cheers.
Here's one for 1k/watch:
-Sinn 104
-Stowa flieger
-Seiko mini snowflake
Nice 👍🏻👍🏻
The sinn itself will be out of budget 😭😭😭😭
That’s really a great list. I was going to pull the trigger on the Flieger but the water resistant is so low.
Steven you know the flieger isn’t a dive watch, it’s not suppose to have a high WR
Stowa Sports are flieger with screw crown and 200m water resist.
Crazy how I own every watch in your 500$ collection. The only difference is that my p100 is quartz, but it was my first watch every so it holds a special place in my heart!

I can't imagine limiting myself to only 3 watches. Where's the fun in that?
That red dialed Direnzo 😍😍😍
there will always be that moment of 'just one more watch'.........:)
Since I don´t wear a suit too often and one statute is "no vintage", first list is of the watches I already own:
1) Seiko Alpinist (pre-prospex)
2) Orient Raven Ray II
3) Casio Royale (metal bracelet)
Next step, watches I've yet to own, but still in the realm of the attainable :
1) Blue Alpinist (i know, I know, but still...)
2) Hamilton Khaki King or a Smiths Everest (daily driver)

No watch for manual labor.
If you've got the Alpinist, don't bother with the Khaki king. I've got both & the sarb 017 is in a different league...Excellent choices otherwise! Hope that saves you some money 😉Cheers mate 👍🏻
Yema is so underrated, they make really solid watches and they're loaded with heritage and quality too!
Yes ! Thanks you !

That Yema Navygraff is definitely on my wish list. Stunning watch. The Direnzo diver in both dial colours looks very nice too

beater - gshock 5610 (live in Europe, so automic clock)

But these are everyday watches. I also have as daily wearer a Bambino. My main collection is normally all Vintagewatches. I am a Vintagecollector for many Years. But these are only for freetime use or specials occasions.
My SOTC at the moment is around 500$. Outdoors/Field/Beater is Casioak, but in military green color, for 100$. My suit and tie watch is beautiful cream dial, blue hands Orient Envoy, similar to Bambino, just more expensive, and it is shy bellow 200$. And for everyday I wear Citizen Eco-Drive Chronograph, which was also around 200$. Yes, I only have 3 watches. Recently I decided to shrink my possessions, and from 7 watches I went to only 3.
I suspect there’ll be as many choices of “categories” as there are of watches. My three would be 1. Beach; 2. Dinner out; and 3. Motorsport. Diver, Dress and Chronograph
my perfect three: 1. Doxa jumbo (1957, NOS) - 200 EUr as dreswatch. 2. Belison automatic calendar de luxe (1970, NOS) - 100 EUr for jeans. 3. Casio ae1000w (red, grid modded and hydro modded) for outdoor activities, 30 Eur. Of course, I have another eight watches just in case..:)
Tissot Visodate
Helm KOMODO
Vostok Komandirskie
Some straps with the scraps
Nice combo! I missed the boat on the Visodate but still hoping to get one in soon. Cheers!
Wow Yema! That’s on my radar now 😁 I’m an Ironman fan as well and also like Vostok & Glycine as a great option to add excellent economical value to a Three Watch collection 💪🏼💫
Great vid and options! Yes, that $500 trilogy is mighty fine - I've been building one for my son over the years. In general, I think the 'lower' tier Swatch brands don't get much love, but Tissot (while sometimes a bit Swiss stogy in style) does offer a lot of watch for the money. Certainly when building women's collection (my wife and daughter), Tissot can be very good. Of course, I tend to favour the mighty Seiko (pre Prosper/Presage tacky sub-branding) and I've a Bambino small seconds on the way. While I do own luxury watch brands too, these value offerings do make you question what you pay for with the expensive brands. Often I see more design creativity and less vulgarity with Orient and Seiko than I do from AP and Patek!
Nice Die Antwoord T shirt. You really need to do a "State of the Collection" only with your T-shirts. I look forward to them as much as the watches. 3 piece combo: 1. Casio Compass Twin sensor SGW-100-1V $54US for hiking or roadtrips. 2. Seiko Rose Gold Solar Chronograph SSC566 $230US for dress watch. 3. Orient RayII Blue Dial AA02005D $169US for pretending you can swim. Alternate fancy watch: 2b. Orient Monarch FDD03001W0 $165US for those who really like manual wind watches that look way retro. It's hard to pick only 3...... which is the problem...
Orient Bambino Gen 2
Seiko Monster Gen 4
Casio F91w / A158
Done ❤
I put my order in for the Yema a few days ago, looks to be a very nice diver, interesting movement and a retro look. Can't wait to get it on wrist. With the discount it came to $635 USD with a leather band as well
I have just ordered an Orient kamasu, in green/teal for my daily. I could only find it on amazon for 280 euro here in germany so i ordered it from England. Makes me so happy to see it featured here in the video, i cant wait to get hold of it. I think i will save up for a Tudor black bay now though.
i love the timex ironman classic 30 for my daily beater. for everyday watch i suggest tissot gentleman Quartz
Man I do love that yema. Was absolutely not expecting that in the 1000 dollar tier but I think it's a perfect choice.
1. Beater:Casio Royale ((Round Dial)
2. Raven Solitude Diver (NH35, range of colours, unbeatable quality)
3. Vostok Amphibia Scuba Dude Blue-green dial on a leather strap (fits under a collar, beautiful, versatile...hey it's my collection & I hate dress watches tbh)
You $500 selection was my favorite! Love that tissot! I just recently got into watches and my first 3 watches I bought are the orient mako ii (with Pepsi dial), Seiko 5 snk805, and Casio dw5600.

God forbid a 3 piece pear down from my collection... here goes!
Beater/Pool Watch- Casio Royale metal bracelet version.
Weekend Watch - Seiko SKX009j1
Weekday Watch - Orient Maestro (Poor mans Nomos Orion)
Yes I’m a Japanese Watch fan! LoL 😆
Hey Jody,
Another wonderful video. It's an interesting concept. I'm not sure my personal style would line up with your likes. But that's what makes collecting watches fun.
I have lately been expanding my purchases into areas that I hadn't seen before.
Just to say thanks Jody. Used your 20% code for a Spinnaker Hull. Got it for £160 including a free tropic strap.🤓
An Orient Bambino is super attractive as a gift for my little nephew because Bambino happens to be the pet name that my twin brother calls him. I think it will make a good graduation gift to get him his first big boy watch.
these value rundowns are some of my favorite videos of yours! great one dude 🤙
@Jody please do a video on your recommended storage for you watch collection. My collection of Gshocks, Vostoks, Seikos, Spinnaker's, Dan Henry's, steeldive and so in is out of control and not sure how I should store them. I have display case but the original cases are all piling up as well. What do you recommend??
The DRZ 03 Eclipse is a grail piece for me , it's absolutely stunning!!
My budget 3 watch collection : 1. Divers watch : Orient Rayll black dial. 2. Every day watch : Seiko Sarb017 Alpinist. 3. Race watch : Dan Henry 1962 panda dial. (Additional) beaters watch : Casio Ga2100(Casioak). Love my collection so far. Next target would be an Omega Aqua Terra!
For a grand: Tissot Gentlemen ($580) Orient Kamasu ($200) CasiOak ($100). I own these three and they really do it all.
Great video! And good choices! But don't forget the new Orient Bambino 5s coming in at 36mm, perfect for the smaller wrists!

Best shirt yet, I love it! Yolandi is “the answer!”
Funny thing. I am myself at bigger part heavy metal-jazz-old rock-prog rock guy but with a soft spot to good/the one I enjoy music in general. But despite Die Antwoord are far from my taste I still enjoy their stuff. There is a lot of crazy punk rock DNA in what they do. You find them stupid, crazy, freaky, interesting and finally enjoyable. Good stuff.
Jody punching above his weight class with that Yolandi t-shirt. nicely done, mate.
Great job, can’t believe the Yema would put “patent pending” mind boggling!? Mine..... 1. Seiko Monster gen 4, 2. Citizen eco drive, 3. Seiko snkl23 (leather strap) Boom 👌🏻
Yeah, wth? Patent pending? Can't wait.🙄
I'm pretty sure the solar cell on the Casio is the grey "ring" directly around the LCD.
An "Overalls" watch could be swapped out for a "hazmat suit" watch. The way things are going, might need to focus more on that category :)
My obtainable 3 watch collection would be:
1. G-Shock DW5600
2. Hamilton Khaki Field
3. Islander ISL-36
Beater, Weekender, Dress. I'd do the Islander over a Sarb033 just because it's got better specs and is cheaper brand new ($350) vs used for the Sarb ($450+). I currently have the G-Shock and a Seiko 5 that resembles the ISL-36. Hopefully one day I get the other two!
The "silver" (really more like pale gold, or "champagne") Hamilton Khaki King is even a little dressier than the black version. I love the look, and I think it straddles the line between shirt and tie and jeans and T-shirt even better. How about a collared shirt and khaki pants (okay, trousers for you Brits) watch?
Excellent stuff Jody, stand outs there are the Yema and the Direnzo. Always been focused on the motorsport Yema’s but the Navygraf looks fabulous. As for Direnzo the new diver is really lovely but I’m still drawn the first model they released. Seems they have something lacking in other brands, design and vision. Only negative was the Hammy really, just never liked it much. Great video though, loved it. 😍
I'd be lying if I didn't admit to two things:
- Having "a thing" for Yolandi *wink* and
- Enjoying yet another great review from Jody :)
I am 3 watch guy. My collection is: Citizen promaster ny-0040 as my main watch, Omikron small seconds from 60's as a dress watch and Casio Royale for cycling and getting drunk in beer gardens 😀
If Blakes’s 7 had a watch it’d definitely be the Direnzo.
Servalan wouldn’t be able to keep her thieving mitts off it😁
if you are on an budget always go for 1) tissot 2)seiko or citizen, 3) casio or a timex. even though i am not a fan of fossil watches they are good too.
The DiRenzo was an excellent choice! I'm eagerly awaiting mine!
Some great choices there Jody. I think a three watch collection is definitely a good idea. Dress, diver or field and chrono or digital and you're golden. I however am a bit greedy 😂, but three watches could certainly make for a perfect balance for work and play. I have to say my favourite you chose was surprisingly the Yema, been seeing some great pieces coming from them lately and they're a very intriguing watchmaker. Will you be reviewing any from them in the near future? Anyways thanks for the video and have a good one.
completely agree with you about Yema. In my three x 1000 list I included the Superman Armee de l'Air in quartz, only $ 500.00 with steel bracelet
@@oscargustavoarcosruiz8793 that's a stunner, I'm a big fan of the superman.
I misunderstood the title. Thought it meant having a collection of three watches comprised of a $200 watch, $500 watch and a $1000 watch. That’s a different video I guess.
Great colour combo on the Orient Bambino .
If I had to choose from my current collection it would be Dress: Seiko SNKL23 on leather; T-Shirt and Jeans: Gray Seiko New Turtle on Strapcode Endmill/NATO; Beater: classic G-Shock with negative Dial on two-piece NATO.
Later this year I might be able to upgrade the SNKL to a Khaki King (Silver Dial) and I can see exchanging the Turtle for some of my Vostok-Mods but...thats not the point of a threepiece, isn't it?
My current:
Citizen Promaster
Seiko SRPB43 (Cocktail time)
Casio DW5600
All Japanese, and from different brands!
Hey Jodi. You forgot to mention that the Casio Duro is also available with a blue dial (MDV106B2A). I"m hoping that Casio will eventually put out a Hulk (green) dial version. Who knows, and why not, maybe even a blood red dial.
Here's mine:
$200:
Casio F-91W
Orient Bambino
Seiko 5
$500:
Orient Kamasu
G - Shock Mudmaster
Vostok Komandirskie
$1000:
Glycine Airman Base 22
Bulova Lunar Pilot
Seiko SNKL23
My three piece combo costs less than 150.00 Euro. Duro on a Nato, swop for a bracelet, swop to a resin, job done. The only watch you’ll EVER need.
Try watch from Perpetual. The newer one with Moonphase is an amazing dress watch for everyday office wear.
So many orient watches are nearly great, but fatally flawed.
ORIENT. Make the Bambino in 38mm.
They have, Long Island Watches has a video.
Check out the Orient Bambino 5S; it's the 36mm 'ladies' version of the Bambino.
Orient taking a piss with the odd lug widths though
Love your wall clock.
Please! It's "For you and ME," not "For you and I..."
I did like your selections. especially that Tissot and Hamilton. Classy. The Direnzo is unique and snappy, slightly retro. Cool.
Aside from my two Nixon analogs, I have a Timex Ironman Triathlon. It has a bigger, oval, touch-screen face rather than the horseshoe one you picked.
Seagul 1963
Amfibia
200€, no need for a third one
The must have collection :
Casio 91w, 5600, duro
Seiko SNKL23, SKX, SARB
Orient Bambino
Tissot visodate
Hamilton khaki
Omega speedmaster, railmaster
Yolandi Vissar? I love die antwoord
I fink u freaky!
Ninja and Yolandi are terrible people but I do like their music once in awhile
@@JustOneMoreWatch ...and I like you awatch.
I was constantly thinking: What's the name of that duo? I remember them in Chappie, but band name was blank when I saw Jody's T-shirt.
Terrible people w good jams is a good summary, between them and Marilyn Manson this year I’ve learned a lot that of things you see can run deeper than just “art” when I always assumed it was the other way around and that they were bland irl
I had a strong giggle going during the whole CasioOak portion. Great video as usual Jody!
Let's see... limited to around $200
1. Orient Bambino
2. Invicta 8926ob
3. Timex Scout
For around $500
1. Timex Marlin
2. Citizen Avion BX1010-02E
3. Casio Duro
For around $1000
1. Hamilton Khaki King field
2. San Martin vintage diver (not sure what the reference is)
3. Citizen Avion BX1010-02E
I know, no digital watches for beaters. I've had a weird bias against digital since I learned to read an analog clock when I was 6. Young snob I was there...
Timex Ironman as a beater? Those are only water resistant to 100M. That means that they might survive a light rain. The G-Shocks are good to 200M, which means that you can wash the dishes wearing one.
