If this makes you feel any better about your grandad,s watch, try looking at it this way. For the first week that most people get a new watch they are constantly looking and admiring it. There is this excitement that is just kind of universal about getting a new watch. You have now brought the watch back to the new, shiny condition that made your grandpa so happy in that first week.

If a watch has exploded in value since I bought it… Either I’ll wear it as if nothing had changed, I paid what I paid, as long as I was happy with that purchase, that’s all that matters. Or I’ll sell it, and buy other watches with the money. There’s no point owning a watch you’re scared to use IMO

I agree with this but also guess other people get enjoyment out of owning something but not using it. That seems odd to me. Like buying a car and not using it or buying a hammer and never hitting any nails or buying a nice rifle and never shooting it. I don't even get the investment thing either, as there are better ways to invest and realise a better ROI than on most watches, especially attainable ones. First and foremost, a watch is a tool and for me, the joy is looking at it to tell the time. I am ok if it costs £10 or £20,000. If you feel you cannot afford to wear and potentially damage a watch, then it is probably above the amount you should be spending on it in my view. I look after my stuff but I don't nanny it. Use it, enjoy it and cherish it.

@@Hixyboyblue I would argue some people look at watches or cars as art. I have an art collection which hangs on my walls and I never "use" it for anything other than the enjoyment of looking at it. Some people are the same way with watches and cars. They get enjoyment from owning and looking at them. There's also the people who have 150-200 watches. So you might wear each one twice a year... At what point does it become "not using" the watch. If this applies then you should only own 1-5 watches give or take a few.

If I could only buy from one watch brand, it would be Seiko, IF I could include Grand Seiko. How many other brands offer watches from under $100 to grail pieces, from non hacking movements to Spring Drive?

If I had to buy watches from only one brand it would be (Grand) Seiko. I love that they do quartz, mechanical and spring drive movements. And I find their cases to be a lot of fun. Especially the 44GS and 62GS reinterpretations. I would sorely miss my beloved thin dress watches, though....

Always enjoy these Q&A vids! Thanks for doing them.

I truly like the fact that you don’t judge others for what they see and do in the “world” of watches. I think that shows how a great person you are 🙂 Thanks for sharing.

Haha I loved the vid of you receiving the Candy Pink! And the one brand I’d choose would be Rolex as well, I just love their watches! Explorer (especially now it’s back as a 36), Submariner, OP, Daytona and the Blue dial Sky-Dweller, beautiful watches 😍

You are a delight to watch. Thank you for the content. I've learned from you as you have made this hobby more approachable and enjoyable for me. My wife and I particularly loved your birthday video.

Thanks Jenny for being an inspiration to horology through your videos! Congrats 🍾!

Hi Jenni, thank you very much for answering my question, and the MASSIVE plug for my IG. I’m with you on being apprehensive about wearing a watch that has exploded in value. When I pay X amount of money for a watch, I have a reasonable expectation on how/when I would wear it, how careful (or careless) I would be to it etc. A watch that appreciated massively would suddenly throw that balance way off.

Okay so I had to stop the video when you explained how you felt about your grandfathers watch. Sure the obvious is that you still have it, but Im sure your grandfather would be very proud of what your doing here, and I just feel like its no mistake if you haven't sold or mechanically damaged the watch. I think its beautiful that you have a watch from someone significant in your family.

Damn happy when Jennie said that she's going to review G-Shock wohooo

Love that you brought attention to the blue speedy. I feel like SO MANY people just opt for the plain black classic, but the 38mm line has so many unique pieces.

You are Funny, Informative , and Refreshing ! Thanks for keeping it Real ! Happy Holidays! Take care and be Well. Eric

Your reaction when you get your Rolex is really cool. You seem to be so happy!

Ahhh! Loved this Jenni! You are such a legend! I so agree - I am so conflicted on the "investment" side of watches. I always recommend: BUY WHAT YOU LIKE!

The Swatch Kiki Picasso is the most expensive of the Swatch watches with a collector's price of around $22,600. This watch is a complete designer watch and was launched as part of the 1985 Spring Summer Collection with only 120 pieces being made for the limited-edition series.

Interesting Moonphase choices! My favorite below 10k is the Jaeger-Lecoultre Master Ultra Thin Moonphase in stainless steel. Absolutely perfect proportions in my opinion.

Lovely answers. My one brand would be Omega. My grandfather trusted them during the war and my whole family love them. Thank you!

Jenni, loved your comments regarding your Grandfathers watch and totally agreed. Thanks for Sharing both your and your husband watches. Cheers!

Always fun to watch your vids Jenni. Agreed about that blue dial Speedy. Only one watch brand? Cartier.

One brand to rule them all??? Omega. There's 5 on my wish-list at the moment lol

Omega has been coming out with the best designs lately. Nobody can say the Omega Aqua Terra World Timer isn't better, especially at its cost, than any Rolex.

Freshening up the grand papas watch mean you now experiencing it as he originally saw it, loved it and owned it

Always fun to get Jenni's take on the watch world :) I think I would have to agree about not wearing a watch that has exploded in value. However, I would probably just sell it and get a cheaper option I wouldn't mind wearing. Oh and also agree on those who look at luxury watches as an investment. If you want to sock it away in your favorite hiding place - why should we care?

I feel like Oris produces a tasteful, well-reviewed catalog, from flight to dive to dress...and it doesn't suck that they're a still-independent, using in-house calibers!

I honestly thought you would choose A Lange und Söhne as your hypothetical 'One and Only' maker.

I really like that you talk about aspects of watches that you enjoy rather than something you don't. There are dozens of channels that talk about movements - and if that were the focus of this channel I wouldn't watch as much

Omega for me as “the” one brand. Having said that I have everything from Casio, Citizen, Seiko,Tissot, Rolex, many micro brands, vintage, trench/WW2 watches & even Timex! I enjoy each & every one of them. Whatever floats your passion! Horology rocks!😎👍🏼🤣🇦🇺

I love these Q&A episodes!

Love the video, as honest and informative as ever. I think if I could only purchase one brand for me it would be a lange & söhn but unfortunately I don’t think I’d ever be able to afford one. The 1815 tourbillon handwerkskunst being the grail watch for me. Cant wait for the Casio vid too. I think the Casioak mini is going to be a huge seller

I was gifted by my father-in-law a 1952 Omega and a 1962 Rolex... I’ve cleaned up (serviced and polished) both. They were pretty beat up, and I’ve never, ever regretted doing so. I look at them and remember him, all the more fondly with watches that look as good as the day he bought them, since he bought them both new!

I'm a new subscriber and enjoy your reviews.. I watched your first video and some of your current ones.. Your German accent was very pronounced in that first video but later (like this video), your english has gotten so good that I could not really tell what country you are from.

Cool to hear that you have a G-Shock review coming!

From my standpoint, it is nice to see personal growth. Polishing the love off of grandpa's watch is a small price to pay for the growth it has brought. It's still beautiful, and ready for more love. I cannot speak for grandpa, but I'm betting it would be most forgiven.

So pleasant and inoffensive. What a wonderful presenter (and seems to be a genuinely really nice person)

4:52 I recently got a Longines from my grandfather, who passed away 10 years ago now. It is from the 70's. It was in a really good state, with just a few scratches, I got it revised and the watchsmith was luckily persuasive : he told me polishing it would make it lose its vintage look, and also all the memories behind it.. I thank him very dearly for convincing me, because it was obviously the best choice.

Thanks fir being honest when you said you’d collect only Rolex watches! I really admire that! Great vid once again!👍🏻 Regards, Hisham.

Im a new subscriber, i like your energy and enthusiasm, i would like to see maybe a video focusing on smaller choices for thin wrists.. also on the more affordable side !

Another great video Jenni. I love that you don't care what others do with their watches. I couldn't agree more. Invest in them, don't invest in them, wear them or don't wear them. Who cares? It's YOUR watch. Love your content Jenni and keep it up.

Looking forward to your g-shock video; I just got the BGD560 my my wife and she loves it!

@Salzinni /Jenni, check out the Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow. It's CW's most unusual piece and certainly the most unique moonphase in its (sub $2000) price bracket.

Fun video to watch!!! Everyone has a different perspective on what makes timepieces interesting; there is no right or wrong answer. For me it’s the engineering, craftsmanship and tradition associated with fine watchmaking. Other people will tell you it’s the design, heritage and how watches make you “feel”.

One Brand: Omega, without a doubt. Seamaster, Speedmaster, Constellation, Aqua Terra, Ploprof, so much to choose from.

Great call on the Seiko as alternative to the OP36! Those are fantastic (and absurdly cheap for what they are).

Jenni that G shock really suits you. It's nice to rock a fun digital watch from time to time.

Nice video as always. That Longines master collection moonphase is the one that I got and still the best value watch with such busy dial. Note that there are 2 sizes for that particular model. I think not many people know about that. Thanks and take care.

Awesome channel! Keep up the good work. Do you wear your watches loose or a little snug?

Glashutte PanoMaticLunar is a stunning and underrated moonphase for under 10K. If you love the Lange, but live in the real world, it's a great option. I get more compliments on my green dial PML than any other other watch. Some people may call it a poor man's Lange, but some people also call Tudor a poor man's Rolex. I really appreciate Glashutte as a brand.

At least you still have the watch which is great! When I was probably seven years old my mother gave me my grandfathers old watch to wear, I have no idea why she gave it to me when I was so young. My grandfather had recently died and I had never met him. He was a navigator in a Lancaster plane during World War II and the watch was issued by the RAF and I was told years later that he used to use it for timing during his duties. Having no idea of its history I swapped the watch with a school friend for some pretend glass diamonds which seemed like a great deal for a seven-year-old 😞🤦🏻‍♂️

My biggest regret is buying a Universal Geneve “Space Compax” for $200 from a guy before the internet developed circa 1987. Then using the early internet to sort of find out and research that I had a nice watch. And then finding a reference on a bulletin board post (you don’t know what that is, you’re too young) to sell the watch to guy in Switzerland for $1000. I was so proud of myself and he had to do a wire transfer!😆😆 and I bought a quartz a Seamaster Bond😏 which I still have? And then realizing for the rest of my life that a Universal Geneve “Space Compax” is sort of a “Holy Grail” watch to some and just goes up in value every year. It’s haunted me ever since but definitely has driven me to enjoy watches and love them . Currently wearing a Tudor “Pelagos” I’m a big fan of your channel and keep up the great work!

That IWC Portofino with the moonphase is like the perfect elegant dressier watch.

Looking forward to that Casio review. I was wearing the DW-5600 today. Rolex is great for the price but Patek’s vintage Ref 96 Calatravas (with sub seconds) are so beautiful!

I just wanted to say that I really appreciate your videos, they are informative but human. Which is a definite skill, believe me. BTW I would choose Tudor over Rolex for the brand of only choice, but to each his/her own

Considering that I've acquired my Seamaster and Speedmaster, the one brand I would exclusively collect would be Omega. I truly do enjoy wearing and looking at their watches.

Hey Jenni. Can you please advise me on what the best way to sell ones used watch is?

Fun episode. Thank you!

Watchfinder got me too and it was brilliant. Glad I'm not the only one lol

Hi jenni, I'll agree on the 'investment' guys I don't do it myself but each to their own, and in a decade or so when someone wants that watch in pristine condition there's one available.

Hello, Jenni. Looking forward that Gshock review.

Hi Jenni! I love your videos and the fresh perspective you bring to things. You just seem so darn nice and genuinely a sweet person. I want to ask why do people always ask what an alternative to Rolex? It disregards the quality and offerings of other brands.

What are your thoughts on the Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime Ref. 6300g? Do you think it's worth the money?

Excellent choices for the Speed Masters.

If you could have a take on Perrelet watches it would be great

Another OP 36 alternative. Try the omega aqua terra models in 38mm

That is one of the reasons why I almost always wear my gold wedding ring and never spare it. It collects the marks of my life as we progress through the days. That said, I do polish it lightly from time to time. It just looks better kept that way and there are plenty of deeper dents and scratches that make it retain its character. It even makes those stand out more. Just like memories, you can't retain them all and only the most important leave their mark permanently.

The best Moonphase under 10K is the Christopher Ward Moonglow. Also I have the Omega Speedmaster 38 in black. It is a great watch, it fits perfectly and can work as a sports watch or something more dressy. It has one the the best bracelets ever - a "presidential" style bracelet that melts on your wrist. Plus it comes with box sapphire crystal, rhodium plated hands and indices, 100m water resistance and a date window that disappears with the dial so is not distracting at all. The big bonus is that it houses a real modern co-axial movement and is a real column wheel chronograph with a silicon hairspring. It is seriously the most under-rated bargain in the watch world right now considering the technology inside the watch along with the heritage of the Omega Speedmaster line.

You did not ruin your grandpa's watch. You hit reset on the patina. Everything he ever experienced with that watch is still there. But the patina from here on out is yours. No shame.

Nice G-Shock teaser :). I like my Casio solar analog/digital watch. The lume on the hands is great and it runs without any winding or battery while being thinner than a G-Shock. I don't get the Rolex craze and the premium is beyond me, but ok if that's what you like. My favorite brand right now is Breitling. I don't buy watches for investment, but have made money on them. I buy what I like and don't care where it goes from there.

if you are looking for a first Tudor watch and under 5 grand which one will be ?

Another enjoyable conversation !!! It's a touchy subject, but don't judge anyone for their interest on watch collecting or appreciation. However those that are dealers or flippers that take advantage of those who love watches. Fake or modified to be sth it is not, tor even masking or misrepresenting condition or flaws again to take advantage of us, his is where I draw the line.

Wow I can't imagine the joy your husband must have felt to see you so happy. Priceless

Jenni I love your British - German accent and your videos of course.

I got my first salaried job a while ago, and would like to buy a watch to celebrate. I’m looking at a black bay 36, but I was wondering what you think about new vs vintage in the ~€2-3000 range. Is something like a used Polerouter or Patrimony a good buy?

One brand: Vacheron Constantin. The Historiques, Overseas and the Patrimony lines. Even the 56 series have a great look.
