Watch Expert Buys the PERFECT $10K WATCH COLLECTION

$10K is an incredible amount to start an INSANE watch collection. You can pick up some amazing watches for cheaper than you think... Tell me what you think of my collection in the comments, what would you include in yours? 😂

Great list, personally I’m going with 1. Tudor Pepsi gmt on nato strap (gmt, $3675) 2. Hamilton khaki field (beater/everyday, $575) 3. Longines heritage classic with a silver dial (dress, $2425) 4. Oris aquis New York harbor green (diver, $1850) 5. Junghans max bill chronoscope with blue dial (chronograph, $1413) And with my $152 remaining I will be purchasing seven Casio databank calculator watches.

I do love this list. You can get a G shock for 150 if that is your thing. With the Tudor I just feel that every watchmaker that has produced a dive watch has released that something that looks exactly like that (no GMT though), so it is not for me. The Junghans is a great dress watch as well. For a real unique chrono I would go for the 1972 Competition, and save 1000 on the Tudor and take the Sinn 857 UTC for the GMT watch.

This is a really nice collection. I personally would have swapped out the Tag for a micro-brand piece like a Formex or a Christopher Ward to add some extra flavor to the collection. Still a good pick though! Well done Nico.

Scrolling the comments and no one defending Grand Seiko?? calling them soulless is crazy, very few brands put as much care into building watches as they do, maybe directionless is fair but soulless is a horrendous take. (IMO, and I know this is yours)

I currently work at Frédérique Constant, and we even had a chance to chat on the stand at Watches and Wonders. I wear the Worldtimer every day, and it's a pleasure to see that you've selected this watch for this collection! 🗺
I think you should do another one of these. With 3 watches. A dress, every day and a sport watch. With a strict budget of no more than 6k

Your list is great, but I'd say Nico's is a bit more eclectic and odd and I kind of prefer it.
My first watch was a TH Carerra 5; I bought it against all reviews as I loved the look of it .... Bracelet is first class 👌. I have a few more in the collection, though this one is worn often and has a sentimental place in my heart. Slated by watch snobs but will be adored by my kids 👊👊👌
If GS is soulless then Hublot is Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat 😂
One of your best mate, do more of these.
Man I swear to god that when you were looking for the last watch all I was thinking about was that the Frederique Constant worldtimer would be an amazing choice and then you actually chose it! Love you videos man, greetings from a controversial country!
I think I would have had a Tudor in the mix
I think Teddy smokes you at perfect watch collection selections. Love the dial on that world timer 👍🏼

Omega Speedmaster, Tudor BB58 or Pelagos, Hamilton Khaki, Seiko GMT, Casioak
Finally, Longines getting the attention it deserves
The frederique constant highlife heartbeat is also a stunning watch tbh.
Great video! Would like to see a future video with a bigger budget to include most if not all >$5,000 but
Great Choice with the Tag Heuer Day Date. I own one on a blue crocodile strap and I just love this watch. It is elegant but on the other hand it is the perfect jeans and T shirt watch. The perfect daily wear.

As someone who previously owned a Christopher Ward watch, I consider them to be absolute garbage. Terrible watches. Hopefully you don’t have the same ownership journey I had.
Definitely a collection I would wear. Was surprised at how much I liked the last one. The world timer.
Nico, the 5th watch should have been a JLc master control date 40mm - can be gotten for about 4k used. I just got one on eBay full kit 2018 with an extra unused strap with the solid gold rotor for that. Amazing dress watch for 4K from a legendary Swiss brand.

I adore the fact that you included a g shock
That TH Carerra has a sapphire crystal. The only modern TH watch that I can recall not having one was a LHD Steve McQueen special edition Monaco.
I have two watch collection in this budget. Tudor Pelagos 39 and IWC mark XX☺️
Always love the content lads, any chance a micro brand video? would love nico to look at Farer watches especially as there a good British brand.
I wouldn't do a 5 watch collection tbh but here it is, my 10k collection would be something like 1) used Omega Seamaster Diver 300m- 2300$ 2) Casio Duro - 30$ 3) Seiko Presage Cocktail white dial- 300$ 4) used Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Pro - 5600$ 5) Tissot PRX 35mm Powermatic 80 'MOP' dial - 750$ It's slightly over budget but it'll do
1. Grand Seiko Skyflake - my favorite watch ever, i wear it every day and never stop staring at it :D 2. Oris Aquis 3. Any tissot chronograph 4. Rado Ceraminca 5. Casio Gshock
Bigeye is always beautiful!
You know it's gonna be a god tier video when you get an advertisement for a Casio before the video
Nice pics. Love the Big Eye!
Luv this idea of a fixed price collection but how about doing several more by going up in $10.000 increments until you get to the crazy stuff. ⌚👌
Tissot Would have been lovely to add in the collection
Raketa would've been a good option. Lots of options of in-house made watches for not much cost wise, and a cool history to boot.

1. Longines hydroconquest 2. Jaeger Lecoultre reverso grande sun & moon, seiko 5 green dial with cloth strap 😎👍
Just got the Frederique Constant Highlife Worldtimer Manufacture. It's a beautiful watch. Absolutely love it.
Allows you to get some unique watches and big hitters. Right under 11k total G Shock -150 Hamilton Khaki Field - 450 Cartier Santos DLC - 7500 Doxa sub 200 -950 Chopard Mille Miglia -2000 used

Brilliant, I almost have the same exact collection minus the Zodiac. I have a cheaper Hamilton khaki instead.
here is a fun collection w/ a lot of interesting types of watches (microbrands, US/French/German, special editions, and classics) : baltic mr01 ~600 Zodiac Super Sea Wolf ZO9210 ~ 1000 Longines Men's Master Collection 40mm- 2500 Oris X Cervo Volante Big Crown - 2200 Nomos Tetra - 1500 Tudor Royal - 1700 Brew Watch Co Metric - 500 i wanted to squeeze in the scottish Anordain but the watch i like the most (model 1, plum fume) is out of production and used to retail for a little above 2k but now is going for 4-5k+ on chrono24
Honestly pretty solid picks.i would have went other directions on a couple but thats just me.

Now, do a 10 watch one million dollars collection.
Love the video but could you do a video where you have a budget and only do new watches alot of us like myself aren’t comfortable buying used because we are newer to the watch game and are either afraid we are overpaying for the condition the watch is in or just sont know enough
This guy is my new HERO every day the first thing i do at work is watch one of his videos because he's just so f**king funny .... LOVE THIS GUY
I’d go around the world: Jap/beater- G shock 5610 (100) Swiss/dress- Longines heritage classic (1500) U.K./diver- Christopher Ward c60 300m (900) German/main piece- GO Panomatic Lunar (6000) France/chrono- Yema Speedgraph (1500)
I think there needs to be a NOMOS in the Collection!
My 10,000 dollar collection would include: 1) Rado Captain Cook - $1500 2) Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch used - $4000 3) Omega Seamaster 300M used - $4000 4) Seiko Presage SRPF53 used - $500 5) Casio F91W - $10 You can't beat this.

Honestly why not include a Tudor or Omega as your last watch?
Best collection consists of 2 watches. Omega Seamaster Professional 300 Great dive watch as good if not better movement than Rolex sub. Cartier Santos In house movement dress watch or sport watch you get two straps. Classy sporty yet elegant.
Hamilton "Cooper" Interstellar pilot. $875 CasiOak in metal. $200 Longines HydroConquest. $1700 Omega Speedmaster. $4700 Bucherer Manero "John Wick" from Joma. $2750
Nico please introduce some of cheap and affordable watches
A Breitling endurance pro would have been great too. Chronograph, rubber strap, super lightweight to do sport with it, different colors to pop out a little bit... 2.5k-ish....
I'd buy the cartier tank for around 3-4k without a doubt. For a watch collection it is one of the most classic watches in the world.
Let's go Nico, loved you on gumball
Tag Carrera is sapphire. I did buy a blue Carrera Day Date because.. ultimate dress watch. ❤Considered the chronograph because Heuer 02 movement, but that's not the ultimate dress watch. Kudos for giving Tag the praise it deserves.
Personal preference would be to spend most of it on one watch then maybe a small proportion on another alternate one that’s more casual maybe a Hamilton then a luxury brand like JLC or even Cartier or if available the common Rolex. Pre owned LUC Chopard at about usd 5k looks interesting or when there is a pre owned entry level Vacheron.
