Really enjoyed this my friend. I see so many SOTC videos full of Rolex and hype pieces at various price points and it just feels so ‘cold’ and unoriginal sometimes. It was refreshing to see an enthusiast who buys what he likes and unapologetically enjoys it. It really shows what a varied collection one can achieve without breaking the bank into 4 figures. I also own the presage mojito and adore the dial, an underrated piece for sure. I’d take a look at G-shock, maybe the steel G-2100 Casioak or just the standard square as a beater watch - I’d hate for you to scratch up all those nice steel cases next time you mud wrestle or paintball fight! Cheers

Thank you for including the steel bracelet, thinking about buying

Finally, an interesting individual collection! Perfection 🤌!

I've thought that those Underdog has Seagul movement.

Hand wind?? Why?????? Big mistake.i like this watch but 600£ for manual I don't give

Zodiac is my favorite among those. Has the most personality & Christopher Ward is the least favorite … absolutely do not like their entire lineup. I’d almost wear an Invicta before Christopher Ward.

Brilliant collection.

Outstanding collection mate. You’ve got a very honest everyday persons watch collection, and I love that. I think a seiko diver would fit in your collection nicely. They’re built tough, and can be the absolute beater you’re looking for. They also won’t break the bank. Hamilton is another brand that would fit in nicely. Look forward to see what you do next.

do you think dial looks faded in real light conditions on this prx 35 quartx blue? i saw one on a store and seemed to me like it had kind of a coating of sorts that made it look washed out, like a whiteish thing on it

I just received this watch. I think it’s beautiful however, I still don’t know how to tell the time precisely I don’t see the minute markers.

You're right that 22mm to 16.5mm is too much taper. 4mm is about right i.e. 20mm to 16mm. 22mm to 18mm. Or thereabouts. I came here for the Farer but man 50m of water resistance just isn't enough for me.

OMG your watch collection is amazing!!! Hope you enjoy all of them!!

Barton has a clearance selection, and dig... 10.99 was the black/purple because? Maybe nobody wants that combo any desirable color-19.99. I've been thinking the same about B& BS Believe it. Also found tropical for 3.57 so do look around @ and compare. Also saw good copy of that 110$ rubber 👀

Why the watch came in such different boxes? I’m waiting for my 40mm blue dial quartz for next monday and I hope to get the bigger box, looks like more premium (I know I know the watch is the same)

Re the stainless steel Farer bracelet… I’m looking on the Farrer website for which version of the bracelet to buy and I’m not sure which one? Yours fits as well as I’d expect any aftermarket strap to fit it so just wondered which stainless steel strap did you get?

The watches I would want to have from your collection - (Studio Underd0g WaterMel0n,Farer RESOLUTE,Christopher Ward C65 Aquitaine Automatic,Tissot PRX (I would want the Powermatic 41mm ver.),Orient Bambino V2). Hopefully some day it will happen. As of right now I don't have a lot of money, but in the future, when my financial situation is stable, I would have these watches, I mentioned from your list. Nice watch collection. :)

I was interested in the looks of the watch but the price turned me off big time. For me it’s not worth what they are asking. Now it’s priced at $995.

whats your wrist size?

Hi, which Farer strap did you put on the watch? It looks great.

I have many samco . No problem with any so far. If you take out the spring bars on the 20, put the 19 in it will fit on 19 lugs with little difference

Still on the fence @ $264 on Jomashop

You don't have a digital watch. Given your wardrobe, I could see you pulling off something like a Casio "casioak" or a fancy G-shock "square" of some kind (even with a tie). Or maybe some kind of ani/digi like a Casio Lineage, those things are total GADA BEASTS!

What is your wrist size?

I like how you said the CW is almost feminine. It was my first impression out of the box: sophisticated nearly feminine on my 7.5 inch wrist. The watch wears smaller than the advertised 41mm is the L2L is short and I agree on the leather taper. I went with green Aquitaine on brown leather and part of me regrets not getting the bracelet for a more rugged look. The other part of me doesn’t like bracelets as I work on a laptop most of the time and I found the taper To be a bet too much. However on the leather one is toeter more taper. This is holding me off from buying a tropic strap from CW as I believe it has the same lack of taper. The leather looks ‘ok’ but it is very very comfortable to be honest. In general the watch punches above its grade especially since I bought it at 728 eur new from their yearly sale. Nice review!

Nice video. I really like the sands point collection. Stands pretty tall

prx only good thing in there

Have you heard of Hemsut straps. Exactly same as Barton. Same product. They also give you 3 straps. short and long. Price very good.

Hey hey GO MICHIGAN, GO BLUE!! Also F**k Ohio P.S good review 👏🏾 👌🏾

You obviously have good taste in watches. Follow your nose and it won't let you down...m

Cool watch but It's expensive a bit.I think the 5 atm is enough for everyday watch, not to go in swimming pool. The 3 atm wouldn't be already so okay. I'm sure it would match this strap: czcams.com/video/lMNpBSdDTPc/video.html I also like white with orange and the colours in case of watches. Wouldn't you like to buy such Barton strap...? I'd see it. :)

I hope one day Tissot make PRX 37-38mm. So much people asking for it. Me too!

Just picked up this beauty today, love it. Wears well on my 7'' wrist. Love that hue of blue that can only be found on the 35mm quartz.

rolex are screw down crown

if the watch is tested to 10 bar rolex tests it to 10 bar where is the tissot video proving it can take 10 bar without a screw down crown and snap back

where is the water resistance test? its rated to 10 bar thats what it needs to be tested to

hi! im just seeing this video i own an oysterquartz 17000 blue dial which is 10 bar rated and i believe them, i cant believe tissot having not used a screw down crown and such to be also 10 bar rated it blows my mind i asked the company and they sent me a video on the difference between water proof and water resistant

A screw down crown has nothing to do with the water resistance of a watch. It only serves to prevent the crown from accidentally getting pulled out under water.

Nice video! I like your take on how a smaller, dressy-ish watch on bracelet like this totally works in a lot of situations and doesn't have to scream "TOOL watch." Too funny about the green vs blue too. I picked up the green a few weeks ago and loooooove how it's on the edge between green and teal, since the classic pure green of a Rolex Hulk just didn't do it for me. The subtley of it being between two colors is awesome. I even went into the store expecting to pick the blue one as a "safe" choice lol. Your blue looks great.

Shitters

I got the Discovery II (39.5mm) and will have a video that looks into the dial coming up shortly. One thing worth noting about these Farer three-handers is that they are all dial, with minimal or invivisble bezels. Compare that to CW and many others where there is more metal enshrouding and reducing the dial size. For this reason, the three-hander from Farer looks bigger than it really is. So I thought to myself, could I have gone with the 36mm instead? Dial-size, yes. But then the other dimensions of the watch would have made it feel diminutive. It's a lesson I got from the Tudor BlackBay 54, where its dial is small, but its outer dimensions -- the lug-to-lug length in particular -- makes it a watch that fits medium-large wrists too. So the downsizing, as a trend, I don't think exists. Smaller watches fit some people better, but not all people. Just like large watch fits some people, but not all people. It's not a zero sum game.

My silicon strapped Barton has twice now had the small silicon bands that hold the strap end start to tear. I asked Barton if they have any replacements they said no. I guess I'm getting SAMCO's, at least they will be cheaper with that wear problem.

HR!

That is a sleeper watch deal right there. Great sizing, materials, movement. Awesome.

I'm done buying from Barton and BluShark. They order cheap straps from Chinese factories and sell them at 3x-4x premium. And "generously" offer buy 2 get 3 deals. I have bought the same quality nato and rubber straps from Ali for literally 5$ a piece, and Ali prices also include EU VAT.

What a awesome watch

I think that’s a CW c65 Aquitaine not c63. Nice video though, thanks!

love the variety and how much thought you put into the type of collection overall you wanted. I wonder if you should look into something vintage. You've got a lot of amazing modern bases covered, maybe time to get precious metal vintage watch like an Omega, IWC, or King or Grand Seiko you could wear just on special occasions.

100% Agreement over the price point. This is a $400-$500 dollar watch without a metal strap. For a thousand dollars you can get so many other watches by more reputable watch companies. This is just my opinion. They’ve sold out on these though. So, they must be doing well. The NUMBER 1 it factor for me however is that it comes in 36mm which I feel is the best unisex size case! Too few watches are offered in this size anymore and these days unisex is between 38-42mm. It’s way too big and loud.. again opinion. I’m all for the sly reach out, cuff of shirt come up and something sleek and sexy pops out.. not a monstrosity

Not a knockoff. Both straps are made by the same. Chinese manufacturer. That’s how Ali Express works. I would not buy the Samco...just because they do not offer the shorter strap.

How does Casio manage to have its watches second hands accurately hit the marks, yet far more expensive brands can't seem to achieve it ?
