Very eloquently put. This is an educated man, who loves to talk about his passion. I could sit for hours listening to the stories of his collection

This has to be one of the best videos I've seen in a while regarding watches and collectors, true passion,love and knowledge right there!

I have alway's believed that it is not the brand or the value of a watch that make's a collection unique. It is the passion that one has of their collection that make's it unique. Very nice video.

sunset even if they are cheap watches

My Dad , may he Rest In Peace had a 7th grade education , was a Korean War veteran and was a blue collar worker all his life. He owned a couple of Omega watches through out the years which I found curious since he had little if any wealth and guys like him didn’t wear Omega watches. Yet when he wore his Omega he looked like a million bucks. I remember on my wedding day a young lady who I went to school with as a child said to me your father looks like he is an Ambassador or something. I guess it was the Omega.

This makes me love my Omegas more and more!

As a fellow watch collector, this man put into words what we all know. It's a journey we have all taken and probably like myself struggled with because it makes absolutely no sense, but at the end of the day the passion is in us to collect, acquire and enjoy them. Passion is probably best when it can''t be explained.

Wonderful watches. As a military pilot, Omega has honored us with an X-33 and lifetime maintenance program. I will never wear another watch.

I fell in love with Omega brand when as a child I saw my favourite uncle wear a pie pan. Loved the watch. When I grew up, I started collecting watches and own a set of Omegas that I love to wear.

Ω is THE watch brand...what a stunning collection, those old classic really are something special, i have a 56 Omega cal 510, love it

I have an Omega watch handed to me by my Grandfather who was a Pilot in the British Royal Air Force in the 1st world war..

I too am fascinated with vintage Omega watches. I don't know why. It hit me when I was 40 years old also. It's amazing!

loved, loved, loved this video! only criticism is that I would have loved to actually have a closer look at the watches.

Same here, he said that he has unusual and rare watches so hey- why not show them- he has them all laid out

I have 2 Omega's. A Constellation from 1978 and a Speedmaster reduced from the early 2000's. This vid has given me a new appreciation for the brand. Thank you.

Sir, you have an awesome collection. Omega should be paying you a commission of some sort. What's even more intersting is your passion and love of the brand and your collection. Great presentation!

I love it when someone talks with real passion about his hobby. I’m also a big omega fan and love the way my seamasters tick. I can listen, look and enjoy it every moment of the day. I love the way they’re built.

I have my first OMEGA a GENEVE and it gives me a good feeling about life

I'm still a young collector only have had the watch bug for about 3 to 4 years and I always have been a rolex guy 100% but recently I bought a vintage omega geneve on auction and ever since that I have been reaserching this brand and getting into it more and more and I'm starting to fall in love with it.

I could listen to him describing his collection for hours. He really does love everything about those watches.

GREAT watches !! I gave my 1990's Seamaster diver chronometer with a beautiful blue wave dial to my son when he started his first job out of college . He loves it and I love seeing it on his wrist . The watch is incredibly accurate usually only 15-20 seconds fast a MONTH !! I sent it to Omega for service approx every 7-8 years and it comes back looking new

Great video! I have Omega in my collection. Omega is a "sensible persons" watch. They are very functional and robust. The engineering that goes into them is very sophisticated. Omega vintage watches from any era still look smart on the wrist. It is quite understandable why you focus on this brand for your collection. Best regards.

It's a pleasure to hear this guy talk. Excellent stories and terrific story-telling. And last but not least: an amazing collection!

What a fantastic video! Great collection, and great collector!!! Thanx very much for showing

Great video. Very nice to hear such a passionate collector talk.

Great Video. Bought my Omega Speedmaster 007 second hand in 1999, hardly been off my wrist ever since. Love it.

Great Collection. Makes sense to me! That RG 1948 Centenary is so class.

Amazing and incredible journey!! I love the Omega's box story. Thanks.

I don't know why, but I love this guy. Deep into a passion that he knows may not make sense to many people. The last line of the video sums it all up.

Omega is my favorite brand, I too was born in 59. This was a really fun interview. I love the relationships we have with mechanical timepieces, they require a commitment that is quite rewarding.

Fantastic collection, love how he's passionate about them and he'll help ensure they live further into history.

Such a great Video, love the history behind his watches

One of the best videos I have seen about a watch collector.

I wish this video was longer so i could hear more about his passion. Thanks for this inspirational video.

Fantastic Video!!!! The passion is authentic and I feel the same way, as I am building my collection of various pieces. Cudos to you!

You tell Archie what Watch collecting is all about . I do not have an Omega at this time, had three and sold them long ago. But i have lots of other watches that keep me happy .

I have seen a ton of watch videos where the presenter remarked that he regretted having sold a given vintage watch that he had previously owned. Curious to know if you ever regret not keeping one, two, or three of the Omegas?

A wonderful video of a superb collection belonging to a truly dedicated enthusiast. The favourite watch in my collection is the 1968 9ct gold Omega Geneve my parents gave to me on my 21st birthday (49 years ago!) I still have the box and manuals, the original Omega strap buckle, and even the store receipt. The watch keeps perfect time, and is a much treasured possession. There are some watch collectors who make negative comments regarding Omega, but I still believe the company have always produced high quality time pieces.

Knowledgeable and passionate about fine timepieces, I'm proud to call Sam a very good friend. A fabulous collection Sam !

Absolutely enjoyed this! Great video!

Super video. Many thanks to share your experiences. I watched 4 times again and again. I understood that how much I need to learn. Kind Regards Levent

Great collection Sam, nice presentation and lovelt to see the respect you have for Omega through collecting watches. Reminds me why I do it too, sometimes it's hard to keep the collecting going, especially when other things need financing. But like a true collector we are all waiting for that diamond in the rough. Keep up the passion, one can never have too many Omegas!

The 1959 Seamaster looks soooo stunning, ohh.. What an awesome vid. Pure joy to watch..

When I started looking into getting a vintage watch, I was drawn to Omega too. I just bought a Constellation from 1969 and I think it's beautiful. Common sense tells me that this is all I need, but we'll see.

Those old Constellations are nice. I bought a nice 1960s Seamaster and sent it to Omega for a full service. Although it is not a chronometer, it now runs like one (about +3 to +4 seconds per day). It works with whatever I decide to wear, remains “under the radar,” and I never tire of it. I wear it every day. I’ll send it back for service after not too long (probably 5 to 8 years). I’ll probably never buy another luxury watch, unless this one were lost or stolen, in which case I would probably purchase another one exactly like it. I like being a one-watch guy. Just a personal preference.

I feel like I've learned soo much about watches, but I'm barely scratching the surface. There's a lot of information to learn about these amazingly crafted pieces of art, it is insane to fathom everything.

I didn't enjoy this video much the first time I watched it but since then, I appreciate watches much more and this collection is great!

amazing individual -i am speachless..i could speak to him for hours

Heartfelt love like that is touching to behold. Way to go Omega

I understand completely. Fantastic collection !

Great inspiring story. True Fan and a Collector.

i am speechless for this collector , he had such a passion on Omega !!!

Very cool episode!!

Less than 10 mins of awesome feeling about those awesome watches. Thank you for it. I allready have my Moonwatches and im really enjoying it every seconds, every look at that ;)

Beautiful! Pure pleasure to watch !

Great video very emotional and inspiring I just got my omega aquaterra small seconds and I’m in love with it 👊🏼👍🏼

What a lovely chap! As a fellow vintage collector all I can say is. What he says! :)

I love Omega, my first luxury watch is the Planet Ocean which I bought in 2005. It's been accurate and dependable all these years. I also added a Speedy recently, one of their Racing Master Chronometer, my most accurate mechanical watch, it hasn't moved away from +1.5s/d on average in two years time.

Great video, Omega is such a versatile brand

Awesome video, I really appreciate your passion for a brand many people foolishly disregard

Wow , an amazing collection.

That is a beautiful Seamaster. I have always loved the look of those vintages from the late 50's early 60's. I have a constellation from 59' and it's remarkable how similar they looked to eachother.

This is a great video. My favorite movie is Apollo 13. (Also love Hidden Figures). I didn't know they wore the Omega Speedmaster. Thanks for sharing!

An absolutely wonderful video!

Awesome video and collector, thank you!

Sam - Great video, very nice pace and feel. I just got my first Omega, a Seamaster Planet Ocean Good Planet. I love it. I am hoping to add another Omega in the near future.

I’m a huge diver watch enthusiast and my first serious diver was an Omega SMP 300m white dial. I feel really fortunate to have picked Omega. I knew I wanted it because Omega makes serious Divers and Seamaster’s are Omega’s longest running series

great video enjoyed this. Seems like a great guy with a great passion

I love the brand. They’re one of the few where you can truly cover all of the bases within their brand.

Thank you for sharing.

Out of all of the watches in his collection, he's sporting a vintage seamaster! Great video.

i'm impressed, and i love his passion.

Great guy and great collection as well!

Lovely collection and Amazing guy.Congratulations

Thank you so much for sharing

Oh, it makes perfect sense, my friend! Perfect sense!

Beautiful video. Loved It.

Great guy and great video! Thank you!

I collect watches and got my first omega this Is very inspiring

when you see the passion of a collector that is worth more then all the Omega watches on the table. very inspiring and I also am a Omega enthusiast.

A very interesting video. I did not know that Omega made the first automatic watch that was certified as a chronometer.

What a well spoken guy . Great video

The First watch i ever owned was the Omega Seamaster Professional 300 worn by Pierce Brosnan. I loved it and it really got me obsessed with watches. Dumb as I was I gave it away still regretting it. But since things turned out Well I am happy to own a 1969 geneve automatic, which really waked a Passion for vintage watches. I can See myself owning a few More in the next years. Love Omega

We all feel and understand your passion!

Absolutely DELIGHTFUL video!!!! I LOVE my daily-wear Speedy and wouldn't trade or flip it for anything!!!!!

Very enjoyable. Great collection

Simply superb video. I too am a collector of mechanical watches. I love to see the oscillation of the balance wheel , especially if the hairspring is blue in colour. I do have a few Omega watches and one of these has a bumper rotor. I also have an omega which has a gold sheet embossed on the case. I have a few omega watches with screw type balance wheel. It is very beautiful to look at. Yes, you are right. There is no justification in spending so much of money on these watches. But it is a passion. And passion has no logic. Thanks & Regards Swaminathan

Just love ur passion for these watches I've got the same I also have a snoopy watch and a Alaska project watch in which I don't wear but I have a speedmaster automatic I wear for days out but as been a machine driver there too good to wear for work.

Great passion!!! 👍

Great video 👍🏻

Great passion !!!

amazing collection!

nice interview and collection. a true WIS and collector

Love the passion, cant wait to purchase a speedmaster

Nice collection indeed.Omega are Great watches.

KZread does have gems. This is one of them.

Great story thanks for sharing.

Great collection just purchased 2 Omega watches myself a De Ville Deluxe and a Constellation pie pan cal 364 jump date both in great condition supposedly?? will see when they get here.

I truly enjoyed this video, this man optimizes the qualities of a passionate collector - I would love to sit and have a beer or single malt and talk watches with him.

Excellent video, enjoyed it very much...! Have about 30 watches in my collection, different price points, different movements, different companies... Do I need 30 watches, no, but as you said Sam, it's a passion that you enjoy and I do too and I can't explain it either!

what a collection!

Great collection. I obtained my first Omega, a 30th anniversary Apollo 11 Speedmaster.
