Pretty cool collection. Especially the Vario Versa. Didn't even know about that brand. What a stunner!

Excited to see your collection. I also own an affordable collection, including a Seiko Dresskx, a Citizen Tsuyosa and a legend A168 Casio. Love em all

That's the best 2100, IMO. That green strap is really nice.

I'm an Orient Kamasu owner and I have to say it's amazing watch. Recently I bought the new Orient Mako 40mm which has been released few weeks ago. Highly recommend you to buy one. Definitely will keep it! Bracelet,typical for Orient is very klimsy, but if you put it on leather strap or different bracelet the result is OMG. If you interested let me know will send you pics of mine! Your watch collection is very unusual,you thinking out of the box. Its really nice!

Seriously looking forward to your review of the Citizen, which I've never seen before nor heard of.

Given you favour the smaller watch size, I suggest trying one of the early Seiko quartz watches from 1972-74 (inclusive) and suggest looking for a decent QT or QR, which can be found inexpensively and can be serviced also inexpensively. Try to find one with a case shape that can suit a number of strap types as some of them only fit/suit certain straps. I also like a smaller watch and my current go to is a gorgeous 1973 QT 3803 on a Geckota bracelet; amazingly accurate and precise for a 50 year old and soooo comfortable to wear - it has surprised and ensnared me!

I like your collection. Nothing pretentious. I love that it mostly consists of really affordable timepieces. The Kuoe watch is impressive though. Looks like an Orient Bambino. I also agree with you about keeping your collection to 8 to 10 watches. Mine consists of 7 at the moment. But only 6 of them are having a wrist time. It's only logical to keep those that get worn on a regular basis than see them collect dusts in a watch box.

Nice collection, my friend ,I'm hoping to get to this size of collection someday ,I went from 33mm all way to 41 mm I have to many pieces,I believe is time ,some of my favorite is halmiton,Bulova ,Marathon and Zodiac.. thanks again for sharing your thoughts 🙏 until next time all way from St George Utah..

Also looking at a Credor, tank style. Cheaper, pure gold and a proper underrated gem if you ask me!

I'm not sure why some people started calling that Seiko 5 "lunar" as it's clearly a cement pattern and colour, and nothing particularly like a lunar surface...At least the one I have looks more urban and industrial like cement anyway. There's no effort to have any cratering for example. One of the few reviews I saw that called it a lunar surface took time to correct people who called it "cement" despite that being the official name from Seiko for the model. All very weird; I can get when people add nicknames to Seiko models that didn't have any (e.g. Samurai, etc) which in turn get adopted by Seiko themselves, but when Seiko already provide a name why propose a new one? Watch collectors are a weird bunch, hehe.

@TopTierTicker

9 ай бұрын

I think Lunar just sounds cooler! And the craters certainly do look like the surface of the moon. I've actually held it up against the moon whilst on wrist, and I can see the resemblance. But yeah, officially the Cement. But is a nickname cool if you give it yourself?

Great insight on your collection! Very interesting pieces, to say the least. One thing got me thinking though: In another video, you talk about how you dislike homage watches and would never wear one, since you'd like to spare yourself the embarrassment of having to explain to someone that the watch you're wearing is not the original, but rather a cheap chinese knock-off. Yet, there's the $20 Sanda Tank in your collection. How does that fit together?

@TopTierTicker

9 ай бұрын

Watch my review on it. I'm not completely against homage watches, I just don't see the point in wearing a $250 submariner homage when you can get a ridiculously good watch for that amount that's completely original. But what other watches can you get for $20? Barely any. Maybe a few casios. It's one of the cheapest watches in the world that is fairly well built, has a decent strap and has nailed the details. It's special in that regard. There's nothing special about a $200 speedmaster clomage... That's my take on it. I think when 'homage' watches are done right, with the right price, there's nothing wrong with them.

@TopTierTicker

I also think it's okay to have 1 maybe 2 homages in a collection. But when someone's watch box is filled with 12 clomages, I just feel like they could do so much better.

@stelzi290888 same here. Don't get me wrong, the Tsuyosa is an exceptionally well made timepiece and I love wearing it. It's just... comparing the 2 is a bit unfair, since they're not even in the same ballpark. The Tsuyosa's design is loosely based on the Rolex Oyster Perpetual, with an integrated bracelet and a dressy approach (president bracelet, date cyclops). The PRX, on the other hand, is a re-issue of a popular Tissot Seastar model from the 70s, with a sportier approach. They might look similar on paper, but lay them side by side and you will see they are 2 completely different takes on the integrated bracelet design!

How come my collection is full of cheap bullcrap I had to steal from big lots and TJ maxx? I got 23 watches and guess what! I had to freakin steal em from big lots and freaking Walmart and crap, there watches suck but it’s all I can afford because I’m on a budget because I’m on a check from the government BECAUSE I was told I’m not fit to be around the public becaaaauuse of how I act.

I'll never buy another fashion watch ever, I own 2 and they just aren't worth it. Btw - there's nothing called a Casio Royale - it's bs claimed by silly influencers for views.
