In case no one told you, you need to remove the batteries of old quarz watches because old batteries can leak (in my experience 2/10 will) when the acid hits the movement it can irreparably destroy the watch.
Your grandfather’s Lord Elgin is an incredible set! And I would love to have a cuckoo clock like that! Great to see these pieces from your family, including the Citizen from your step father, and hear their stories. Bummer about your original Tag, but the replacement is magnificent! Thanks for sharing!
I was thinking about all my watches and my goto is also a Timex explorer that i got 2nd hand in a 3 for 1 deal on ebay. I dont have any expensive watches but took the plunge today on the 50th Anniversary Bulova Lunar Pilot. I know people put the brand down but i love their hack, aerojet and lunar pilot range.
Congrats on the Lunar Pilot LE purchase! Thats a beautiful piece and Bulova is a excellent brand with history and plenty of beautiful watches imo. Enjoy! 😊
Great collection. It's always interesting to hear the stories that go along with the timepieces. The Lord Elgin is in great condition for a 70 year old watch and having the box and hangtag is awesome. Keep up the content.
Really cool watches you have there! I think the pick of the bunch would be your grandfather's Lord Elgin. A beautiful, elegant watch with a lot of history. And your first watch! I can't even remember my first watch
That hamilton is awesome, the case is almost identical to the modern khaki mechanical. You have a great collection mate, the highlight for me was the arnie and lunar pilot, seriously cool. The zelos was awesome as well, love the dial on that one.
I have a similar story with a cuckoo clock I inherited from my grandparents. Mine is ticking away in my living room. Does yours work? Put it in a place you can pull the weighs and enjoy it working.

Nice collection especially the Tag! Nice to see you still have your watches from childhood (wish I still had mine).
Thank you, Jeff! I feel very fortunate to still have all my childhood watches. :)
this is my favorite youtuber collection, finally someone with taste similar to mine, love the personal history

Good info, thanks. I always change the batteries in my quartz watches to avoid leaking.
I enjoyed it so much. Just an awesome, full of fun watch collection pieces.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you very much! I can't disagree, not only is the Lord Elgin really nice but it's incredibly sentimental.
That Dr marten watch looks amazing
A wonderful collection.
The Elgin you got is an awesome timepiece. Impressive collection mate, great to see you having fun with your Lunar Pilot
Thank you! That Elgin is super sentimental and I'm having a great time with the Lunar Pilot! 🌙
Really cool collection

Great video, nice collection.
Enjoyed seeing some of your watches, isn’t it crazy how much bigger watches have become versus your great grandfathers watch?
Right!? The differences in size is substantial.
Awesome watch collection 👌 thanks for sharing
Thank you very much! 😊
Nice collection mate
When you say you’re early watches need servicing do they just need new batteries or is more than that? Great video and thanks for sharing
They need more than just batteries...A few of my old watches no longer function and require servicing.
Cool
😎
Time is a virus I have quite a few myself 🤣
👍
😊
I counted more watches than you showed us.? What Are all the others watches you didn’t show us?
I have a lot of watches, too many to list of or share in a vid without it being crazy long.
What's the name of that octopus orange watch??
That's the Phoibos Eagle Ray Compressor
You should save money and buy some decent watches.
Define decent?

@daniel berg sure.
Seiko Hamilton Bulovia Tag. They mostly have a top quality reputation. But thanks for your clarification
