I like your Oris best but a very nice collection. I’m not usually a CW fan but I couldn’t help but admire that Malvern. Look forward to following the evolution of your collection.
My Oris is one of my faves. I've got it on a paratrooper strap now and it's perfect!
Pretty cool collection. Especially the Vario Versa. Didn't even know about that brand. What a stunner!
That's the best 2100, IMO. That green strap is really nice.
It's great, super comfortable and soft. I'm surprised more gshocks don't come with that option!
Excited to see your collection. I also own an affordable collection, including a Seiko Dresskx, a Citizen Tsuyosa and a legend A168 Casio. Love em all
I'm an Orient Kamasu owner and I have to say it's amazing watch. Recently I bought the new Orient Mako 40mm which has been released few weeks ago. Highly recommend you to buy one. Definitely will keep it! Bracelet,typical for Orient is very klimsy, but if you put it on leather strap or different bracelet the result is OMG. If you interested let me know will send you pics of mine!
Your watch collection is very unusual,you thinking out of the box. Its really nice!
Thanks mate, I appreciate the kind words. I just watched a review on that new Orient Diver! It looks quite good actually, I like the Stainless steel bezel! I actually dont mind the Kamasu bracelet, it's very comfortable... I appreciate you watching bud
So happy to have found your channel focusing on affordable but great watches. Picked up the Sanda 2 months ago for just 10 dollars and am wearing it constantly
Welcome aboard! Good to have you
@@TopTierTicker have you checked out Boderry? I really like the sea turtle titanium, but didn't have a chance to handle it yet
You're the second person I've seen w that TAG! I'm not much of a two-tone guy, but that watch looks fun & versatile.
I've been thinking about an Orient Kamasu for a while. Love the red dial to boot.
Really nice collection Kieron, you know I love a casio so glad to see you have some!! The A1200 looks great on that leather strap. And the Kamasu? Stunning!!
Keep up the good work my friend 👍
Thanks Rik! I've just got a mod kit for the AE1200, that has a steel case, sapphire crystal and titanium caseback. Going to make a video on it soon. Turns the Royale into a proper beast! Keep an eye out for it
I totally get your sellers Remorse, the Yema Rallygraf is a Gorgeous watch.
Great Collection 👍🏼 still...
Thanks for sharing.
Love that Oris, beautiful watch.
The kamasu is such a great watch. Excellent value. I have the green dial version and love it!
Love that green dial too! #KamasuFam
I've just bought an Orient Kamasu 2 (double red) and I love it!
Niceee! Enjoy!!
I like your collection. Nothing pretentious. I love that it mostly consists of really affordable timepieces. The Kuoe watch is impressive though. Looks like an Orient Bambino.
I also agree with you about keeping your collection to 8 to 10 watches. Mine consists of 7 at the moment. But only 6 of them are having a wrist time. It's only logical to keep those that get worn on a regular basis than see them collect dusts in a watch box.
Lovely collection my dude, im citizen fan so defo getting the tsuyosa 🙌
Thanks bud, my review of the citizen will be out Sunday, tune in!
That Orient Kamasu is the one I like the look of the most. Seestern make a 62MAS homage with a fume red dial and I've been thinking of picking one up due to the look of that red Kamasu.
I'd highly recommend the Kamasu over the seestern. One should always support a watchmaker who is working hard to bring you original designs
I have a KUOE Royal Smith and it's probably my favorite watch.
Niiiiiice! I do love the design of Kuoe.
Given you favour the smaller watch size, I suggest trying one of the early Seiko quartz watches from 1972-74 (inclusive) and suggest looking for a decent QT or QR, which can be found inexpensively and can be serviced also inexpensively. Try to find one with a case shape that can suit a number of strap types as some of them only fit/suit certain straps. I also like a smaller watch and my current go to is a gorgeous 1973 QT 3803 on a Geckota bracelet; amazingly accurate and precise for a 50 year old and soooo comfortable to wear - it has surprised and ensnared me!
I'll check them out!
Nice collection, my friend ,I'm hoping to get to this size of collection someday ,I went from 33mm all way to 41 mm I have to many pieces,I believe is time ,some of my favorite is halmiton,Bulova ,Marathon and Zodiac.. thanks again for sharing your thoughts 🙏 until next time all way from St George Utah.. Viva watch making ✌️
Enjoy the journey my friend, there is no rush! Take it one piece at a time, savour each watch until you're ready for the next! I appreciate you watching buddy, hope to see you in a future video :)
Looks like your ideal collection size pretty much matches mine (I'm at about 13 now, whittling it down to about nine). Seriously looking forward to your review of the Citizen, which I've never seen before nor heard of. I almost bought an Omega Dynamic when they were first released (to help me get over my mysteriously missing-in-action Speedmaster Pro), but I'll say it's certainly worth seeking out. Happy hunting!
Thank you mate! I love the bracelet on that Dynamic too, president style (best looking bracelet style in my opinion). It's good to know I'm not the only one who likes to keep a collection smaller in size. Seems like most collect until they don't physically have room for more 😆
I just got one and it’s my new everyday
Very nice collection!
Thank you! Appreciate you watching and commenting!
Get rid of half of them and get that Yema Rallygraf back…or another one like it. It’s easily the best watch for the money and it’s such a looker! I can’t thank you enough for featuring it in a previous vid as I purchased one directly afterwards.
I'll likely get one back at some point. It's an absolute beaut!
Great collection! Agree with you on the collection size - I’ve gotten up to around 22, so I’m looking to sell 5-10 and consolidate. Would love to see a review of that Omega Dynamic!
I'll hopefully have one in by the end of the year!
I think a 12 watch collection sounds perfect 😁 nice 12 slot watch box!
I have a Tag Heuer 1000, is it worth repairing?
Thanks for the ride.
Any time!
what about zeppelin watches i would love to to see you review one
What happened to your Rotary?? You got me to buy one. Currently in the mail and very excited to wear it!
Watch my most recent video, I talk about it 😜
Nice collection ❤
Thank you!
Thanks for the great video. How much was the vintage Tag 2000? Love the look and want one.
The prices fluctuate heavily depending on condition. I Imported mine from Japan, after import fees it was around £350.
Thanks, man@@TopTierTicker
Where do you sell your watches so easily? If I may ask. I wanna sell some.
eBay mostly. Although I sell quite a few of them on my website now. Offering them for a lot cheaper than I'd usually do on ebay because I don't have to pay as many fees.
The Kamasu is “next buy” on my list..I can’t wait and I’m fighting all of the FOMO to stop buying it right now
No rush dude, I waited almost a year to buy mine... And it just made the moment I got it even better. I'd recommend buying from creationwatches. They have the best prices on them.
@@TopTierTicker amazing tip. Thanks buddy!!
Great video. You should do voiceovers.
Well, thank you! I'll stick to watches for now, but it's nice to know I have a face for radio 😂
where I can buy the strap on the casio royale?
It's from Vario :)
@@TopTierTicker thanks! 👍
Definitely more of a mid range collection than an affordable one with the likes of Tag Oris and Kuoe but nice none the less.
All of them cost less that $500. I think my collection has now moved onto the mid-range category... but at the time of recording this, I think affordable is the correct label
if i were you - see all your watches + work hard + save $$$ + buy 1 watch that you really like - you just mentioned Cartier / Nomos / Omega
I can afford those watches now. Have you not considered that I'm enjoying collecting the watches that I have? An Omega doesn't make you a better person you know
I can't believe you let go of the CW. That's insane and I can't even find it atm to buy. Want it so bad!
Dimensions were just a little odd. A sub 6mm watch needs a smaller case diameter IMO. Beauty tho!
Although I own a few mainstream brands, I find micro brands better value. I find 30 watches a perfect collection as I can wear each watch once a month (as per my spreadsheet)
Yep. aiming for about a full month's worth for a proper 'rotation', but still shy a couple more.... maybe another automatic and a moon phase (but still in the 'affordable' category)!
You keep a watch spreadsheet??
@@beerkegaard No, I have 4. Date last worn, specific dimensions and spec, layout in the watch box, and movement details. I thought everyone kept one?
Mad respect for keeping a good arch rotation spreadsheet ❤
@@benironside1264 who can survive without spreadsheets
i love this video!!!!!!
Thanks Mike! Glad you enjoyed it my friend 👍
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I wish someone in Europe would sell watches in America. It would have to be a youtube like you who reviews watches. You have shown a ton of watches that Americans would love but are unknown here in America.
It's the same in England bud, we have to pay import fees when buying a watch from another country. I'm guessing the US actually has more watches than we do, afterall we're only a tiny nation
That's quite a collection
Thanks, it's very strange I know. Next year it will be more well rounded 😆
Nah I have similar stuff as you man
Bonita colección gringo
What happened with Vostok? 😅
The date wheel broke, trying to quickset the date, so I just couldn't use it. Unfortunately.
Great insight on your collection! Very interesting pieces, to say the least. One thing got me thinking though: In another video, you talk about how you dislike homage watches and would never wear one, since you'd like to spare yourself the embarrassment of having to explain to someone that the watch you're wearing is not the original, but rather a cheap chinese knock-off. Yet, there's the $20 Sanda Tank in your collection. How does that fit together?
Watch my review on it. I'm not completely against homage watches, I just don't see the point in wearing a $250 submariner homage when you can get a ridiculously good watch for that amount that's completely original. But what other watches can you get for $20? Barely any. Maybe a few casios. It's one of the cheapest watches in the world that is fairly well built, has a decent strap and has nailed the details. It's special in that regard. There's nothing special about a $200 speedmaster clomage... That's my take on it. I think when 'homage' watches are done right, with the right price, there's nothing wrong with them.
I also think it's okay to have 1 maybe 2 homages in a collection. But when someone's watch box is filled with 12 clomages, I just feel like they could do so much better.
Try SEIKO SPB 249 for GOOD SIR❤😊
I do like that Alpinist! Good shout my friend
You've done pretty well, especially since you only started collecting relatively recently. Keep up the good work!
It's been around 3-4 years now. I'm doing alright, taking it slow and enjoying the ride. I spend way too much time reading and researching though. Proper obsessed 😂
@@TopTierTicker you and me both brother 😉
I'm not sure why some people started calling that Seiko 5 "lunar" as it's clearly a cement pattern and colour, and nothing particularly like a lunar surface...At least the one I have looks more urban and industrial like cement anyway. There's no effort to have any cratering for example.
One of the few reviews I saw that called it a lunar surface took time to correct people who called it "cement" despite that being the official name from Seiko for the model. All very weird; I can get when people add nicknames to Seiko models that didn't have any (e.g. Samurai, etc) which in turn get adopted by Seiko themselves, but when Seiko already provide a name why propose a new one? Watch collectors are a weird bunch, hehe.
I think Lunar just sounds cooler! And the craters certainly do look like the surface of the moon. I've actually held it up against the moon whilst on wrist, and I can see the resemblance. But yeah, officially the Cement. But is a nickname cool if you give it yourself?
Add a few Rolexes, Omegas and Tudors
Patience my friend, I'm enjoying the journey. What's the rush
A vintage Cartier would be an amazing addition! I've been eyeing a Must de Cartier with a red dial recently. But like you I'm not ready to spend a couple of grand one on right now.
Also looking at a Credor, tank style. Cheaper, pure gold and a proper underrated gem if you ask me!
R u sure the fortis is original and not a fake?
I contacted Fortis about it, they confirmed that it is indeed a former model. It looks fake, everything about it looks off, but they made them during a period of struggle.
You can find some other models if you Google 'Fortis Sky Watch Quartz'. Tons of different flieger styles
@@TopTierTicker wow didn’t know that!
I can’t bring myself to sell any of my watches.. so I have more than 40. I gave 8 as presents in the past 3 years.
And no, I’m not rich.
I have attachment problems 🤷🏼♂️😉
How come my collection is full of cheap bullcrap I had to steal from big lots and TJ maxx? I got 23 watches and guess what! I had to freakin steal em from big lots and freaking Walmart and crap, there watches suck but it’s all I can afford because I’m on a budget because I’m on a check from the government BECAUSE I was told I’m not fit to be around the public becaaaauuse of how I act. So a judge and a doctor saw fit to tell the state that they had to pay me 1200 a month to just sit at home and not bother nobody. So now I can’t even buy anything cool for my self, really pisses me OFF.
You need some luxury pieces
PERFECT AFFORDABLE WATCH COLLECTION:
- Dressy: Orient Bambino
- Diver: Orient Kamasu/Seiko SSK001
- Everyday: Hamilton Khaki/Tissot PRX
- Vintage: Seiko Twin Quartz: King, Grand or Superior (most accurate watches ever! Must look into these)
- Casio: must have one
- Fun watch: any Studio Underdog
I guess my 50+ watch collection is an overkill. I wear a different one each time I leave the house. I don't have a Seiko 5 yet though.
Probably a little overkill yeah 😆
50 watches and no Seiko? Criminal! 😂
Tsuyosa being a PRX killer might be a bit too much. I got both as well and I prefer the PRX over the Tsuyosa. I like them both though and I´ve been wearing the Citizen today but it´s not on the level of the PRX in my opinion
I've also owned both, both has strengths and weaknesses, it comes down to what you prefer imo. Thanks for watching! Tune into my Tsuyosa review on Sunday and let me know what you think!
@stelzi290888 same here. Don't get me wrong, the Tsuyosa is an exceptionally well made timepiece and I love wearing it. It's just... comparing the 2 is a bit unfair, since they're not even in the same ballpark. The Tsuyosa's design is loosely based on the Rolex Oyster Perpetual, with an integrated bracelet and a dressy approach (president bracelet, date cyclops). The PRX, on the other hand, is a re-issue of a popular Tissot Seastar model from the 70s, with a sportier approach. They might look similar on paper, but lay them side by side and you will see they are 2 completely different takes on the integrated bracelet design!
wait wait....3 days ago you gave this comment on homage watches to me.....Because it's a stolen design. Why not wear something that's original and has its own story?
today and only a few minutes into your watch collection.... this is my Cartier Tank homage watch..... sure dude ..sure
It's a $15 watch. Feel free to point me in the direction of another $15 watch that nails the details as good as that one. I don't see the point in spending $250 on a submariner clomage when you can buy a beautiful Orient for the same price. This $15 literally has no competition. If you can't see the difference, there's nothing I can do to help you.
Where aq230 😢
I gave it to my friend, they wear it every single day with a leather strap!
Reviewed watches: about 200
kept watches: 10
You're not a collector, you're a flipper!
Incorrect. I don't see the point in having a 20+ collection. What's the point when you can only wear one a day? If a watch doesn't get worn for a few weeks, it's gone. I occasionally regret it but I move on to the next one. There's thousands of watches out there, and I want to try out as many as I can. I can't keep them all. That doesn't make financial sense.
@@TopTierTicker The point is you can wear the watches again rather than let someone else purchase a classic watch for a bargain. Once they become discontinued, it's a challenge to find many models and the prices increase exponentially. It sounds like you are mixing business with pleasure. The advantage of being a consumer is we just care about having an affordable watch and enjoying the experience even if it means multiple watches. Profit is the least of our concerns.
@@rotweilerscholar1181
The guy from "Just One More Watch" is also a flipper. He gets the reviewed watches gifted from retailers or brands in exchange for plugging them in his videos and then sells the watches on ebay. He even admitted to this several times.
You sound like an AI voice generator.
DISHEARTENING
Why do people buy brands like CW or Mido - they aren't attractive and not of quality compared to other fashion brands eg: Hugo Boss. I'll never buy another fashion watch ever, I own 2 and they just aren't worth it. Btw - there's nothing called a Casio Royale - it's bs claimed by silly influencers for views.
