Be patient and enjoy the journey. In many ways the wanting is better than the getting. Try on whenever you can. Pictures really aren’t enough to know if it’s right for you or not. Price doesn’t assure appropriate quality or taste. With a bit of research you can find amazing watches for a fraction of the price of more famous brands of a similar or sometimes better quality. Shout out to Aki. Bring it

​@@wisamal-hakim5531 Agreed mate. Some people start with high end watches, I'd advise going affordable and working your way up through the price brackets. That way they'll get to experience just how good some affordable models are, and just how impressive each level up from there gets. You actually get to see where your money goes in the smallest of details that you'd only understand if you start from the bottom. Just my two cents.

A watch enthusiast should buy with a heart, the budget will be set by the brain. And, the rules are not set by the movement, I’d rather have a quartz Cartier Santos than an automatic of any other brand, but my bank balance (and family needs) won’t even stretch to that Cartier! I’ll settle for a quartz Victorinox Inox instead, just as arresting.

Great video and funny as hell!! 1. Buy what you like the LOOK OF, not specs, brand or hype. 2. Don't buy expensive watches if you're new to the hobby, as your TASTE and PREFERENCES will evolve and change over time! 3. Buy with excess cash you have, it is a luxury item, getting in debt for luxury and something you don't really NEED is stupid. 4. Take a 2 month period of looking at the photos and videos of a watch you want to make sure you don't buy on impulse! Things I've learned over the years in a costly matter 😂

Thank you Andrew for this interesting and humorous commentary on all the character oddities that make watch collectors who they are. Its a great primer for the uninitiated to understand us. The truth is that many of these eccentricities exist in other collecting communities - whether they are collectors of classic cars or stamp collectors. Those who engage in collecting are not so much consumed by the banal practical concerns of what we are collecting. We love the art, human ingenuity, precision and the history of the objects that we lovingly curate.

After buying many watches, and selling almost the same amount of watches, my golden rule - now - for buying a watch is.... keep the damn thing for 2 years. The 2 year rule stops me flipping, which stops me buying and thus chasing the next dopamine hit. Also forces me to appreciate a watch over the long term and not succumb to whims of the moment

Buy what YOU like. The watch you like might not be cool on KZread, the forums, or to your friends. But what matters is that it makes you smile when you look at it.

Here's one, buy the watch that you want. Don't settle for something else because of price/availability etc. (unless it's a Rolex at an AD). If you get something else other than what you wanted, you might have scratched the watch buying itch, but ultimately, you'll always want to get that watch that you originally wanted.

If you find yourself at a stage in life where your finances will allow you to indulge in your passion of watches, don't fool yourself into believing that the purchase of your "grail" watch will end your journey. In no time at all you'll be 2 or 3 pieces further down that road before you realise that you'd promised yourself that'll be it on the spending. It's also a fair warning to say that you'll probably pick up an unintentional addiction to watch straps. They never mention that in the small print.

Hi Andrew, Here is an idea here which I posted after I saw the gringa last video about Omega. I think the traditional watch industry after sales service should be discussed on KZread as it’s part of the experience of owning a mechanical watch: Now, I find that Omega as well as most other luxury brands should significantly improve their after sales service. They should also allow independent watchmakers to buy their spare parts as these independents may provide a better, faster, more economic and consistent quality service than the brands themselves... The brands watch servicing aspect is almost systematically very much disconnected from the brands established luxury image; service is expensive _ ok, luxury is always expensive _ but it’s let down by delays which are huge, abysmal client communication and highly inconsistent quality, repeat returns, massacres repairs, etc… I feel that traditional watches customers are let down by sub-standard after sales service which often cost the price of an AppleWatch or more and I wonder if this is not a threat to the traditional watches industry. I have yet to see KZread videos regarding the dark hole of the traditional watches industry which I feel is a very interesting subject.

Genuine leather won't last any longer than calm weather in Punta Arenas. As to buying an investment watch, and having friends who do so, it's go big or go home.

Yes, the journey.

The biggest tip I'm learning so far is, buy watches that suit you specifically. I'm an aircraft mechanic (profile picture of relevance), so my watches see a rather severe life. I also have bought some dressier watches. They, sadly, spend a lot of time in the watch box. I have a Bulova Accutron, a 36mm gold dress watch, that I love to wear. But I could never wear it with any real regularity, because it's goodness knows how waterproof, not at all scratch-resistant, and I would be remiss to risk the tuning fork movement by banging it around on airplane parts all day. The impulse jewels that ratchet the movement forward would come un-adjusted in a light work week. The watches that get worn are the divers, like a submariner homage or a Seiko 5KX. Those really suit my lifestyle, and though I didn't see myself as a "diver kind of guy" until I got them, they really are a part of my style now. My point is, get yourself watches you both 1. Are going to wear and 2. Can wear regularly. Then, once you buy them, my other tip comes into play: wear the damn watch! Take them out and wear them! Make excuses to yourself if you have to, to change your watch and get some time on them because we are creatures of habit and if one begins collecting dust it will often continue to do so. Furthermore, try not to fear causing wear and tear to your watch. The scratches and dings tell your story and will forever serve as a reminder of the life you've lived in a way more personal than most things can manage. Many watches wear beautifully and develop a patina that doesn't look "old and trashed" but rather "well-worn" and with a strong character. This is also the beauty of buying vintage watches. It's enjoyable to own a piece of history that has its own character and life to it which is now yours to continue to add to. Anyway, sorry for the novel, but I really hope this encourages someone to wear their damn watch. You deserve it, and you're gonna enjoy and appreciate that you did it. After a while it stops being just a little guy to tell the time and more of a silent supporting role in your memories, a constant string tracing back to when you got it. And that's a super fun thing to have in such a simple and seemingly superficial hobby.

I’m sure you can guess my take on that!

I like the hunt of the watch more than receiving the actual watch. It's weird. Plus i have a bunch really good watches (Breitling / Grand Seiko / Ball / Omega) and I can be very superstitious, so for 95% of the time I wear a Vostok Russian watch that I bought when I was a teen in the late 80s at B.Altman on Broadway (that store was gorgeous and what they did is nothing short of a crime). I wear the Russian watch because it may bring good luck. Not sense driven thoughts.

I never used to think about watches, I wore a Seiko that was given to me as a teenager for about twenty five years until my local watch emporium informed me that it was no longer fixable (perhaps he was just sick of fixing it). So then I didn’t wear a watch for a while. About a year ago I decided to buy one, then started watching watch channels on KZread. Now I have four watches: a black one, a white one, a red one and a yellow one. I’m not sure what to get next, I’d quite like one that goes “ping” but should I get a blue one or a green one?
