Not all of these watches are to my taste, but I feel that's what makes your collection great. You clearly don't have "brand allegiance" and just buy what you like, regardless of resale value etc. I respect that and wish more of the watch community did the same. Great video!

@@watchgrok I’ve done it with my own collection at times. I’ve felt overly concerned with it having “order” or a theme and elected not to buy watches that I genuinely liked because they wouldn’t “fit”. Life is too short to rob yourself of enjoyment. Buy and wear what you want.

For a ‘newbie’, you have a large and diverse collection, which is great. Like that you buy to wear rather than for investment, which is why your collection is quite interesting. Keep it up

Thank you! The LHD is a great watch, and I have looked at it more than once. You are absolutely right about the quirkiness of it. Wear it in good health! Appreciate the kind words about the Milgauss! I feel the reactions I get are pretty polarized, either people like it or they hate it. But it's all good, because I LOVE it :D

Cool collection, good journey. I like how you are very honest about appreciating a watch but not connecting with it. This is something we all experience, and we only know this once we’ve had it for a short while. Like your views. One very good thing you do: You put every watch on wrist and let us see it. That is crucial for understanding the size and wearability, so do continue to do this. Thumbs up!

Insane collection! I had the Laureato blue dial 42mm for almost a year. Ended up selling it because I was trimming down the collection and something about it seemed to just not wear right on me. Recently got a cw12 blue dial and it’s an incredible watch for the money and I’ve finally found my issue with my old GP. It was just a tad too big. Even with a 7.25 wrist I felt the dial was just too big. If they ever make a 40mm model I’ll be first in line.

Just found your channel and really enjoyed this! Have you thought about trying a watch with an enamel dial? I’m thinking Anordain (used as their waiting list goes into 2029!) or Vitreum - a Danish micro brand that makes pieces with stunning dials. Due to the enamelling process each watch is a piece unique which is pretty awesome. Interested to know your thoughts, could be something different/new to complement your fine collection. Cheers

@watchgrok

Thank you! I did look at Anordain, their dials are gorgeous and really awesome to look at. Not sure it’s my style though. I did get to meet people from there at a watch fair and they explained the whole process and how the dial is actually smooth, but looks textured. Thanks again for the kind words, and I will keep a lookout for enamel watches to see if anything catches my eye!

@@watchgrok If $ is not an obstacle, the Moser Pioneer Cylindrical Tourb Skeleton is a grail watch. Big watch, but the bracelet doesn't add additional width on the wrist like the leather strap. Grey market price hovering sub 60k USD. I notice you dont have any skeleton in your collection shown. I can also see a PF Tonda GMT added to your collection specifically the Steel Platinum blue dial one. Adding a micro-rotor into the collection. I am a bit biased. Owning a PF Tonda, it reduces/eliminates wrist time for all of the other watches.

Thank you! Yeah, I have evolved my taste, and I am particular about what I like. I went on a speed run and acquired these in one year. I had something come up where I used watches as an escape and so my journey definitely has not been normal. I would say as you start your collection, go try on watches, and try them on again. Also find an AD where you get along with the sales person and as you get to know them, get to know the store director as well. Also stop by even though you don't buy anything, or are just waiting for a piece. The more you show your face, they more likely they will remember you, and the more likely they'll allocate something to you. I'm happy to answer any other questions you might have. I have also been thinking about making a video about the "AD journey" too, to maybe shed some light on what I've learned about how ADs work.
