    Nice eclectic collection of your primary collection. It’s so interesting collecting watches,your tastes change,the quality improves,your knowledge really improves and your joy improves. I love my watches and look forward to picking one to wear for the day. The history is a compelling reason to choose a particular brand and serviceability is very important. Most Swiss and Japanese have some parts available although newer Swiss watches generally need to sent back to the brand who replace the entire movement no matter what the issue. This is their solution to a lack of watchmakers and the time it would take fix the watch. You will pay dearly for this in time and money. I’m not sure about finding any parts for bespoke German watches and it’s a scary proposition for me. I,like Norman stick with vintage watches due to style and serviceability. Sorry for the rant

    The PR is still gorgeous. The Everest is purdy in gold. Still the best Movado I've seen. Longines is a home run.
    Happy new year! :)

    Great stuff Norm, that Armida is pretty.....the Wittnauer is very elegant & the curved case on the Longines is great.

    You have amazing taste Norman. I drawled!!
    Would love to see the CWC ion wrist, Leonard Cohen rocked an Og Fat boy at the end of the 80s.
    It's my destiny to own a Max Bill sometime soon!!
    Added a vintage Braun recently. It's a very cool watch imo.
    Thanks for the show, these past 3 vidz, have been a cool view.

      Thank you so much! Yeah the Max Bill is amazing. I haven't looked at vintage Brauns, I'll have to check them out.

    You know, I have similar classification of watches in my collection. The biggest difference is that most of my shelf and lower tier watches are watches I’ve been gifted and/or have had since I was a kid like my Batman digital watch. I think we have similar taste in watches- I have the full gold and black microrotor polerouter my dad gave me. Just ordered a croc strap because the one it has is literally disintegrating 🤣🤣
    I really want a SS PR like yours but damn they’re so expensive nowadays. Let’s hope the revived UG comes out with the polerouter in the Tudor/Longines range of prices

    • @KillingTimeWithNorman
      @KillingTimeWithNorman  Před 5 měsíci

      Oh cool! Congrats on the PR! Yeah I'm curious to see what comes out of modern UG. 🍸🍸

    Thanks for showing 👍 . It's so refreshing to only see one dive watch. It's hard to choose a favourite, but I think I would say the Pole router.

    Thanks Norman. I have always been a fan of the Movado Museum, and feel mighty tempted to take the plunge. Also, I just love the printed dial that Longines has put on your Dolci Vita , and own a quartz presence in the same kind of style.

    Phenomenal watches, all of them. Personal favourite is that Smith Everest in gilt. Has the hallmarks of a one watch collection. Thanks for sharing Norman.

    Awesome watches. Love the cwc. No Sandhurst anymore?

    • @KillingTimeWithNorman
      @KillingTimeWithNorman  Před 6 měsíci

      Yeah I let the Sandhurst go, after getting the Smiths PRS 29A. It was an amazing watch, but the PRS filled that slot well. 🍸🍸

      @@timshull59 Yeah I think so. This is basically kind of a suped up WWII A11 hence the super small case, but think this one is Vietnam era ... I believe.
