Most boring watch collection on CZcams
an apple watch? that means you have an iphone, so you are technologically and computer illiterate.
@@louiscyfer6944 wow you’re a bozoooo 🤡
”Watch collection doesn’t have to be expensive.”
”The next watch is a Rolex Explorer.” 😂
"He says" 😂
anything more than 2 could be called a collection but is it any good?
Unpopular opinion: The Rolex Explorer I isn’t an expensive watch (retail price, at least). Save up for a couple years and it’s well within the realms of attainable.
@@angrybanana6223 Exactly. People have become so addicted to the idea of instant gratification that they’ve forgotten there are some things you actually have to work and wait for.
@@TheJohnGalt1945 Me, who doesn't live in a first world country and earns like $600 a month: "Did you say couple decades?"
That is to say, not everyone is in the same position, and perhaps that's the reason why this opinion is an unpopular one.
I did probably the most common mistake when I started getting into watches a couple years ago and bought so many watches. Ranging about $100-$1500 watches. I had 56 watches total and have down sized to 8 recently. I’m done with what I call the “affordable” range and I’ve definitely got the quantity out of my system and going forward I want to focus on getting it to maybe 5 watches or so that are high quality.
A vintage Cartier would be great- don’t forget about the reverso though too. I dress mine up and down with simple strap changes- and that may lead to some additional strap plugs too!!
i'm curious to hear how you manage to dress down your Reverso! I have a TT1931 Duoface and really struggling to dress it down so it is more appropriate with the more casual aesthetic of 2021. I've got a Eulit perlon on the way so see if that's a solution...!
Theo and Harris
@@alexchu8434 I have a Riverso in gold, I wear it as both a dress or sports watch on its original black alligator strap to cycle or jog. I can’t understand why you have to swap the beautiful strap for an inferior / non standard alternative to dress it down. It is a Riverso just wear it the same way people wear a submariner with a suit and tie. Riverso are sports watches!
@@MrRoyck10 I wear my jlc hometime in gym clothes
Dress watch, a Reverso is a great choice.
Ultrathin 1931 is my favorite.
Amen!
Agreed Reverso over Cartier.
I have a large reverso small seconds with the brown strap. Surprisingly versatile, looks right in place even with t shirt and jeans. Got myself an extra black croc strap, and it turns into a nice dinner / suits watch.
JLC is a good choice even if, for a dress watch, I would rather go for the ultrathin small second (dressier IMHO) but I uderstand that the design of the reverso is also unique and a conversation starter more than the ut ;)
Genuine collection straight from what you like! Rather watch this with each watches having a background story rather than the hype watch collectors + the ones who collects with excessive diamonds on each watch though its preference. Really love the journey you have with each of your watch, it seems to give a more realistic approach to us viewers on collecting watches. Great video and content!
Explorer, Kermit and Seamaster. Common mate, he only needs a Daytona to make it 100% cliche collection. Even with Hamilton he took the most talked about watch. I like this guy, and i wish i didn't see this, especially the apple watch in the collection, jeez.
I love the Khaki Field Mechanical, but i prefer the Automatic, it just seems a bit more sophisticated and dressy. More versatile.
Sad to hear your Tudor BB58 is likely on it’s way out. I really think it’s a shining star in your collection. I own the blue version and it gets almost all my wrist time.
I have that watch in my collection and it bores me now. I'll admit it's a great watch, especially for the money, but there are other more interesting watches (in my opinion) and wrist time is valuable.
It's a nice watch, but there are much nicer, more interesting watches out there in the world. I've seen many people buy one and end up parting with it later on. To each their own.
Everyone and their nan has one, which makes the beauty of it a bit boring imo
the sub and the seamaster both outperform and outshine it imo. it's a stabilizer, not a source of excitement. it sings harmonies.
Blue one is my next watch. Going to snatch one when I get my bonus next year
Every time I see that explorer, I can feel my savings account quivering in fear
It really is a great one. 👍🏻
Hoping to get the new one at some point. Or the 40mm Omega Railmaster. Both great no-date options, solid case backs, good water resistance. Simples
The new 124270 is worth it if you can get your hands on one. Super accurate and very comfortable daily wearer.
@@BarkandJack are you still wanting a new 36mm Explorer 1?
Explorer I is a great goal to have. It's my first Rolex, and the watch I keep coming back to for daily wear.
I really love the sea masters bracelet. It’s refreshing and original. The older one I didn’t like much but these flatter links really do it for me.
The idea of you letting go of that Seamaster breaks my heart
That’s how I feel about the bb58.
Tend to agree. But,…. that new Aqua Terra is gorgeous 😁
Agreed. I lust over the blue dial version. but on the positive Adrian will probably get a nice premium because it is his watch and had a great connection with it if a fan buys it. That's a premium that makes sense. Must be cool acquiring a watch you already wanted and in addition it was Adrian's.
@@whereRbearsTeeth 🤣maybe just me.
@@whereRbearsTeeth no they don’t. Maybe if it belonged to someone that was actually famous.
I’m surprised an Omega Speedmaster Pro isn’t on the menu for your collection. You definitely have a Chrono gap.
A man with a watch collection like that needn’t shave or change their t-shirt any more than once a week.
That’s gross.
Two t-shirts a week, please.
hay
LOL you have to get your priorities right in life..
watches are only accessories, even how expensive they are
Adrian's worn a kermit so long that whenever I see one, it reminds me of the channel.
🙌🏻
…whenever I see actual Kermit the frog, it reminds me of Adrian’s watch. But that’s because there’s something wrong with me. 🐸
The Adrian Kermit
Nothing from Rolex is not run of the mill.
While not a cartier, I own my grandfather's Seiko "tank" from the mid 80's. It was a retirement gift from his employer and it is incredible. Obviously, my sentimental attachment to it is nothing that can be matched, but it was always on his wrist and that's how I remember it. Engraved on the case back and everything. But the case shape and small size is just so timelessly classy on the wrist. I have "larger" wrists and rarely "dress up", but I wear it all the time on a bunch of different straps from brown leather to a gold mesh bracelet that matches the case perfectly. I'm getting winded here, but if you're eyeing the Cartier, go for it. It's timeless pure class for good reason.
It's crazy how much our taste for watches overlap. I love your collection. I also have the Omega Seamaster (white dial, with the black/rubber strap as I also didn't like the bracelet). Also on the list for the Explorer II. Thanks of your work !
AHHH, I remember these! Videos about watches and not TPG!! HALLELUJAH!! 🙏😃
Haha. On to proper things. 👍🏻
@@BarkandJack …May the community return to business ☝️😑
I bought the exact same Seamaster largely on your recommendation and I freaking love it
I just tried one on yesterday and I think I’m gonna buy it ha
@@dereklee7009 do it, it's awesome
Same here!
Kermit and the Explorer. Paired with my vintage Speedy. Perfect 3 watch collection 🙂
Important thing is buy what you love and don't listen to other people. If you're happy with the collection that's the important thing
But it is a beautiful collection... just needs that IWC Adrian!
My fav B&J video EVER I think!
Thanks a lot Britt 🙌🏻
The BB58 is simply so much more elegant and delightful than the rather tacky-looking Explorer ii. Never much cared for the Omega Seamaster either, also looks a little ticky tacky. The Breitling chronograph you have in your introduction on the other hand…now that is 💕
IWC Mark XV for you Adrian, it would look perfect on your wrist. 16570 Polar instead of the new Explorer II and a JLC Reverso Day-Night as your dress watch. ;)
Yeah that would be a great choice.
I love Adrian’s collection. I must admit. The BB58 does look out of place among the other watches. He doesn’t sound as passionate about that watch as the others. But it’s still on my list of watches to buy 😉
Why is the reason you don’t have a Chronograph watch (Moonwatch, Navitimer, etc) in your otherwise amazing collection?
To not break the budget I've found a number of the Oris chronos to be great looking.
Best voice in the watch market, great collection.
If we want to be minimalistic, the only watch mandatory in your collection is the 36mm Explorer. Perfect versatile size, dress up or down without any issue, pure straight to the point design, understated but classy, classic black dial. You like watches used as intended then you don't really need any of the divers. The smartwatch is a no as you don't do sport much. The Quartz is cool and I think every serious collector need one in his collection but I would suggest something with a 9F or a chronomaster. The Hamilton would be the 2nd choice as having a white dial is really the next step but I feel its a little too close to the Explorer in term of philosophy (field/exploring watch with similar design/size). My choice for a white dial that would make a perfect dress watch would be the new Cartier Santos Medium size (35mm). My 3rd choice would definitely be a Grand Seiko Quartz (36~38mm) with a 9F and a something different than Black or White (probably a Silver or Blue dial. Even if they do nice Champagne too).
I had a CWC manual winding watch. Loved it until I dropped it on the floor and the second hand flew off under the glass. Had it repaired then wore it in the sea once on holiday (it was supposedly water resistant). The salt then destroyed the movement, but I managed to get £30 for it from a watch repairer who bought it. With that money I bought a classic Swatch with a white face, luminous hands and black strap. Never had a problem with that. A shame, as the CWC watch did look great.
Great collection. A real enthusiast's collection and one I can really relate to and definitely can see myself with similar pieces. If it was all Patek and AP, it would just feel too distant. This is the real deal. If I had to chose two, I'd keep the Explorer and Kermit. I do love Omega, so the Seamaster would compete for 2nd place.
I like the Omega seamaster the Hamilton and the Kermit..
You should also consider adding a nice classic chronograph, such as a Speedy Pro (Moonie). Great history, reasonable price, and several options to consider. Maybe get one to replace the “58?”
Drinking coffee out of a jam jar and talking about Adrian’s watch collection….nothing much beats that…great vid!
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Honestly, why not a Reverso instead of a Cartier? Or a Santos medium.
Santos medium 💯
An awesome collection and what's nice is it's something that develops over time and as tastes change. I had a 16750 GMT, then sold it for a Sub 14060, which I kept for 15 years, then sold that for a Paramotor (the best fun I've ever had btw). However, I love watches far too much and am mesmerised by their design and the way they age. I now my eye on on either a 1675 GMT, 5513 Sub and (or) a new Omega Seamaster 300. How on earth do I explain that to the wife?? She'll either kill me or get another cat ;-) Help required please!
I love my seamaster, completely agree with the staring thing. Years later and it’s still like the first time I wore it.
I own the polar Explorer II 16570 and the polar 216570 and love them both. Can't decide which one is better. Both 10/10 and best Rolexes there is.
No no no, don't go the Cartier-way, please..... buy a JLC Recerso instead. Come on, you can do it!!
I'm curious, why not the Cartier way?
I literally watched your 2020 collection video two hours ago!
Haha. Good timing.
3 dive watches,
3 field watches,
And an Apple Watch.
Looks good to me.
Great video, and awesome collection.... 😂😂😂 "Watch collecting doesn't have to be expensive " as you pull out the Rolex explorer lol
Haha. I should have planned the line up better. 🤣
Hi Adrian, that seems like a really nice all round collection. Was just curious to know if you still the HMT in your collection and if it gets any wrist time?
Did he have an hmt? I am happily surprised.
@@currentaf8455 his previous collection video had an hmt, a gift from an Indian fan
Can you do a video where u find the Ower of the CWC and hear their story?that would be very cool
Lol. Probably some guy who kept it in a drawer during missions.
My ultimate dress watch has to be the IWC Portuguese...absolutely stunning on a leather band. Hopefully I'll get one one day!
To see both a CWC and a Hamilton Khaki Mechanical in that collection. Very good. Very very good! That's a real cool collection, and one you don't see much around.
Great collection, Adrian! Through the years I’ve always admired your tastes 👍
Thanks a lot Danny 🙌🏻
mad respect for the gshock
I collect mostly Cartier Santos 100 XL(2009), Vintage 18K hand wind Santos Dumont (1977), Stainless Steel Santos (1987), 2 row Panthére, SS Tank Francaise, 18K Tank (2000), Les Must de Cartier Louis Horse-bit Vendom, SS Ronde de Solo, and mechanical 18K Santos Dumont XL (2020), but have Omega Ocean, and a Panerai PAM 0220.
Nice collection!! I think you should buy a white dial (polar) Explorer II, 42mm. You will fall in love... A very different Rolex, is classic, is durable, a lot of fans out there, you will never regret, you will never sale it!!! I LOVE mine.
When it comes to dress watches. There is one that stands out a little more than any other and that is the OMEGA Constellation Pie Pan from the 1960s. Bet on it instead of the recently hyped Cartier.
Recently hyped? Cartier invented wrist watches.
@@jewelstd Yes Cartier is in a new hype. How many people talked about Cartier as recently as 6 months ago?
Think about it. When watch dealers start talking about interest in a particular watch, it means they want to sell theirs. That's exactly why for the same reason you NEVER hear any watch dealer talk about buying the OMEGA Constellation Pie Pan. Think about it for a while.
@@jewelstd Cartier? - I though it was Wilsdorf (Rolex)... .
@@watch-checker Rolex was still a watch producer wannabe when Cartier released the Santos. It wasn’t the first wrist watch, but the first watch designed to be a wrist watched. All the wristwatches before were converted pocket watches.
I’d go for the new solarbeat Tank if I was going for an occasional wear/dressy Cartier
I actually tried one of those on the other day. Felt like a great watch for the price. And the quartz movement would be really useful seeing as it would be worn much.
@@BarkandJack the Tank Solo was already an unbelievably versatile watch but the solar quartz just pushes it up another level - plus no seconds hand so you’d never know 👍
@@BarkandJack 16 year service intervals is incredible too. I'm getting my wife the small version for our 10th anniversary, and just have to decide whether to pair it with the Santos Medium or Tank Large for myself. Another in the running is of course the Reverso Tribute Medium (which I fell in love with after your review), but like you I am just concerned that I wouldn't wear it enough to justify the cost in my collection. The Santos could be dressy enough for me, while also being a good everyday type piece.
@@BarkandJack Also considering there's no seconds hand, you wouldn't even remember it was quartz.
Like all your choices and are envious. Would suggest you consider a vintage Omega Seamaster or Constellation Pie-Pan as a dress watch selection. Timeless design, dressy, yet rugged too.
The seamaster aquaterra with the small seconde!!!!
Do you think you’ll get the new explo 1 (36) at some point ? I thought it was on your list ? Also if yes - how will it fit in your collection - will you get rid of the 14270 ? Cheers man !
I was going to ask the same thing. I sold my 114270 when my name came up for the new 36mm. The only thing I miss is the vintage charm of the wider, jangly bracelet but the new one is a superb watch.
Saving for the explorer, the perfect everyday watch with great heritage
It really is the perfect watch. I’m not joking when I’d say I’d happily only have that watch.
@@BarkandJack I thought you were going to get the new 36mm Explorer? 🙂
@@BarkandJack Explorer or Explorer II that is?
agreed. strap goes really well with the black bay
Black Bay 58 needs to stay...awesome collection.
Please, never darken your desk or our screens with that Apple 'thing'. It's not a watch, it's a thing 😉
Haha
Agreed it’s a wrist iPhone.
Next lvl snobbery
Silver-lining, apple watches are getting people used to looking at the wrist to tell the time... Perhaps setting them on the path for mechanical watches as they age and accumulate disposable income.
Agreed it sounds like watch snobbery. BUT an Apple Watch/Fitbit etc will be obsolete after a few years when it can’t be updated anymore. The others will last forever, potentially.
I’m here for the comments losing their mind over the Apple Watch.
“iT iSn’T a WaTcH”
The bloody thing tells the time right? Sounds like a watch to me 😂
They're ace
Inb4 "My car also tells the time but is not a watch"
I was starting to build a nice watch collection until I bought my first GShock... I can't stop wearing that watch now, I hope I can leave it at some point and keep buying other type of watches
For the dress category, I recommend a Grand Seiko GS4 or High Beat 36000 Automatic.
Now THIS is a banger of a collection. Love everything in here, maybe excluding the apple watch, but that's because I'm a paranoid tin foil hat wearing weirdo and I'm not about the tracking. But it sounds like you use it for one thing and it does that one thing well. Killer stuff here Adrian.
Thanks a lot man. Now what do we need to get you to do watch videos like your audio videos?
@@BarkandJack I can put my watches in my isolation cabinet and play guitar or sing to them to see if they work better or something, but I don't know if that'd be valuable to most people.
On a serious note though, I have had a few conversations with folks about it, and I think the consumption of watches and mics are completely different. Mics are essential for recording, and most of the time there is zero emotions attached to them and it's also easy to demonstrate the qualities of the mics by sharing the recordings. Watches on the other hand are inessential and chock full of emotional attachment. The point is that the approach to the emotional item probably ought to be a bit different and have some aspect of story associated with it as opposed to just technical reviews. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this though.
Always good seeing you around!
The only thing that needs to be roasted is your coffee 😉
🤣 hahah good one.
Except for the Apple Watch, I really like your watch collection. If You allowe me to make a suggestion, the Neomatic line of Nomos are a very good choice for a dress watch
If you haven't already - you reallly, really need to get that battery out of the CWC. I had a Seiko that stopped and I set the thing aside. Then the battery corroded and the acid fried the movement. Please pop that battery out asap.
Also, I got the white dial Khaki Field after you did your video. 100% love the watch. It is just a chill watch that gets a lot of weekend wrist time. It is also super accurate. Glad you still have yours. Cheers!
Dress watch: Gotta at least look at a Grand Seiko.
I bought a little must de Cartier for a wedding and was super happy. Find myself wearing it way more often than I thought.
I know this is old by now but bro!!! Show that G-Shock some love! Was hoping to see some G-Shock B-roll, especially with it on a nato??
My DW-5600 is one of my favorite watches in my collection and one of my favorite period.
the Hamilton kaki stays bit the stunner Tudor BB58 leaves. OMG Jacky.
Sick collection!!! Mine is small : Tudor bb58, Rolex 36mm explorer, Cartier Santos 100 xl, seiko skx 013 seiko baby alpinist. God bless.
That’s a great line up!
Great video mate! That was long overdue. I was literally laughing out loud as I watched. We have nearly identical taste in watches. The foundation of my collection - the one I'll never sell - is the 214270 39mm Explorer (mk2). I just picked up the new 36mm Explorer for my son. He'll get it in a few years. I had a Black Bay Steel and it came and went pretty quickly. I had the blue version of your Seamaster and sold it pretty quickly, but I agree about the depth. I loved staring at that dial. Next watches on my radar: two tone Rolex Date Just, new Polar Explorer II and I absolutely want a Panerai. I'm also completely torn between the new 43mm IWC Big Pilot and the 41mm IWC Spitfire Chronograph. I prefer the look of the Big Pilot, but I'm worried it's a bit too big. I tried on the Spitfire Chrono recently and it's fantastic. Anyway, great collection and great video. Really well done. The best watch content on CZcams. Keep it up!
Dress watch: gold case, leather strap, check. Go for a cartier then. Or else Zenith, Patek, Lange depending on budget. Or go full indy mode: P.Coyon , M. Grossmann and alike.
Whatever you do, don't sell the Omega Seamaster.
love that explorer, this and seiko 5 has similarities. I like the minimalistic simplicity.
I sold 12 impulse watch buys from 2020. In April I received a submariner from AD as a ten year career watch, no wait. I was floored. I immediately bought the Seamaster 300m black because of your recommendation and the need to get it off my mind. But… the small seconds AT is so so beautiful to me. This is great Adrian 👍🏻
You talk about the movement of the Omega. What is so special about it? I wish the details of the mechanisms in the watches was discussed more.
Hi Louis, I talk about the movement in detail here, jump to 4:34
czcams.com/video/4ZXOY5Fz9rc/video.html
My dream three pieces :
1)Rolex submarine.
2)Omega speed master.
3)Cartier tank.
That would be an amazing line up!
I think you also need an annual calendar watch in your collection…. And something with a blue dial. Thanks for sharing!
It’s hilarious how many watch channels rave about a given piece then they are flipping it for something else within months. Does nobody hang in to a watch for keeps anymore? That said, the new IWC offerings are amazing. Both Chrono and 43mm Big Pilot are crazy good offerings. Best bit being you can just walk into an AD and buy them, non of this secondary dealer tax or don’t call us we’ll call you horse business. Are you missing a mechanical chrono? A zenith maybe? Only downside to IWC is you’ll take a haircut if you flip it months later.
Love your channel Adrian! Your collection is fantastic. I like the fact that you mix it up. That new Aqua Terra Small Seconds looks incredible.
You won me over when you said Rolex explorer II, subbed :)
Thanks a lot mate. I’m still waiting for the Explorer II. Hopefully it will arrive soon. 👍🏻
A Cartier Tank Cintree would be a nice addition to the collection
The Explorer II is a great choice. Recently entered my collection and is my go to watch for everyday use.
You won’t be disappointed when you get it
It’s a great watch and I loved my Polar. It was just too darn big and I traded it for a BLNR, which is my perfect size.
I just picked up my 2021 Rolex Explorer II Polar dial model 226570 on the 15/07/2021. Like you I use to have a Rolex Explorer II Polar dial model 16570 from 2008 and I regretted selling it almost immediately when I did. Ever since then I knew I would replace it and I must be honest and say I love everything about my new Polar Explorer II and love what they have done. I wear it almost daily in rotation with my Black Bay 58 (black dial) which I cannot part with!! I love both of these watches more than anything else in my collection including my Sub 😬. Get yourself the mew Explorer II you will it!! Such an underrated watch among collectors and to be honest, I love it the most of Rolex’s collection..
That mini heart-attack at 00:12 XD
You can’t go wrong with a vintage Cartier Tank. Got mine at Christmas, haven’t regretted it even once
I love your collection and your aims for the future. Cannot fault or criticise anything. My one question would be, would you like a chronograph in your collection? After your dress watch it’s the only piece missing?
The Explorer and Seamaster is my perfect watch collection.
My dress watch is a vintage gold plated Hamilton tank style. Great little hand wound that i found for 80 usd at a estate sale. I wear it maybe twice a month.
Looks like the CWC quartz hits the markers almost perfectly? I wonder why that's only sometimes possible? Citizen Eco-Drive movements also nail the markers too. But most quartz aren't even close.
Wow...I don't know why, but I thought your collection would by way bigger. I love the collection, keeping it small to everyone gets wrist time...LOL!
I have 60 watches, although I try to give each one the same amount of wrist time, it does not always work out. 1 watch a day, 60 days, that is 6 times in one year that I wear the watch for...😆
I wanted the Omega Sea Master 300 white dial. Then I was offered the Explorer II polar! I didn't think I'd love it so much! Now it's my daily!
I can relate with all that have mentioned. Do not sell the Black Bay 58 but if you do, later down the road get the rose logo smiley ETA version as that has so much character that will give you The Wow Factor you are looking for in a BB 58!
Checking this out a year later. Too bad I missed that $10,000. Anyways, awesome collection.
I agree about the Explorer 1. None of my other watches get any wrist time since I got the 39mm about a year ago. I have even saved up for another watch, but now that I have the funds, I kind of wonder what the point would be.
i am very interested in the new explorer II as well......was really hoping they would have made the gmt hand green this past release.
Explorer 39 mm and Omega Seamaster are in my collection as well. Always a joy to look at those watches.
It's a solid collection but I'm curious why most watch channels rave about the finishing, movements, and overall quality of JLC yet never seem to own one themselves? I personally love the brand yet can't help noticing this.
The Hamilton Khaki Field and the Omega Seamaster 300m are my two favourites. Grat collection overall!
Cartier is nice but I would go for a Reverso over Cartier every time.
I love the Cartier Santos Medium but also a big fan of the older Cartier Santos Du Dumont when the case isn't too big.
I love your collection, I thought the military watch was an O&W from the Vietnam era...real similar.I agree with your daily wearer....Explorer 2!, thats on my list too.
