    There's only two ways this new hobby can go:
    1. Elliot puts a watch in a Game Boy
    2. Elliot puts a Game Boy in a watch

    I own 2 Seiko’s and I’ve had compliments from Air Stewardesses (back when flying was cool) and a military man who thought it was a military issue watch

    for christmas i was very lucky to get the opportunity to choose my first 'nice' watch, went with an omega seamaster diver with the blue face and gold, and the matching strap, its such a lovely watch and costs more than Id ever spend on a watch myself, but i love wearing it out and about rather than keeping it locked up in a safe or away on a shelf
    im not part of the watch hobby or really know anything about watches at all, but its were i am in terms of watches and honestly the idea of making my own with aliexpress parts as you did sounds just as fun to me

    @darcyska Před 26 dny

    I'm only now getting into watches, and your channel is one of the main parts of that. Still just getting some 'tester' watches - ones that aren't great quality but just to try out different styles on the cheap. I think I'll likely go the more vintage route as I like things with a history and that have stood the test of time.

    It’s so cool that you came to London (I live in the area) to see some WATCHES! My favourite lol. Maybe next time you can snag an AP 😅. There are a few small antique shops aswell that sell more vintage pocket watches and things (I can name them if you like) but yeah maybe you could check those out one day!! Love your videos! ❤

    @drticzon Před 22 dny

    Seiko still has not re-issued a 6139-6005 Pogue (photo was shown in the book in this video, right watch with the gold dial, chronograph). I have a Dec 1975 as an everyday watch for almost 48 years (original owner). After its last service, it is running +/- 2-4 seconds per day. Still all original. Very nice video. I have to past by the Seiko shop during my next visit to London.

    I love watches, I have a lot of them, including 2 Rolex and a panerai. The windows you showed were amazing. My birth year watch is a Seiko Pogue but it’s nothing like that quality of Rolex.

  • @greamepenney5947
    @greamepenney5947 Před 25 dny

    Just keep an eye on that quality control at Seiko. Also something you may like is IWC, Bremont watches, and Doxa.

    @SuperJoeboyd Před 23 dny

    I tried to stop looking at watches for hours and gave my collection to my daughter when I left the UK 7 years ago. I only took my rotary Daytona homage to travel with and it's still as reliable as ever and catching a few second glances when I wear it here in Thailand. Love the channel and watches.
