That's all for this Week...Thank you for watching.
You missed your A. Lange and Söhne in this video !
Never bought one.. still waiting 😩
@@LondonWatchCollector oh , you only had it in the video, correct 👍
@@LondonWatchCollector what happend to the secret rolex reveal? :)
I’ll reveal it at 1M Subs 😎
@@LondonWatchCollector Don't get me wrong, I wish you nothing but success with your channel, but 1m subs? Come on, dude... Just say you don't want to show it. It's completely understandable.
It's an impressive collection, but clearly focused on capital appreciation and playing it safe. There's nothing wrong with that but in an industry of hundreds of brands you barely stray beyond 3-4. If money is not a concern, then depreciation shouldn't be a concern either, and this should enable to you to explore more "high horology" brands.
Absolutely right, Sir.
This channel is just full of those "iconic"pieces wich we, as watch enthusiasts, already have heard and read about millions times over...
This guy traded in a yachtmaster for a ladies datejust lol he can like and collect whatever he wants
@@Aiyahhh Yes he can,
and I also can be bored of seing those same pieces over and over again.
My point is just that I tuned in to this chanel to see if anything had changed but no... Still about patrimony and investment, very little passion and horology to be seen here...
@@marvinberwart So true, unfortunately the watch community is full of posers. They know very little about actual watches and chase brands. Sooooooooo boring.
@@whosnamedaftertvshows7405 Who are LWC?
One takeaway from watching this kind of collection video over time, is that a lot of people go through a period of basically buying variations of the same kind of watch over and over again. Then as some time passes, they end up keeping only a small number of those, and the collection gets more diverse. The journey is part of the fun of collecting, especially if you can resell those without a loss, but the lesson here might be that unless you plan to only collect one model or brand in variants, save yourself the time and don't obsessively buy the same model in multiple colours or special editions. Buy the one you really want, and next move on to another different style.
Great point
It looks like the collection of the classic guy that buyes watches waiting for them to gain value, resell them and then wait for the next model to gain value, and resell again, more than just a collector of historical and special watches.
I agree, money doesn't buy creativity or taste. This is an instagram flex collection from some random rich guy.
@@casualsuede You're just bitter & envious. Move along!
Don't think we forgot about that special rolex that's worth more then your whole collection! We're waiting to see that
His dad hasn't given his ok yet.
Londons Gangsters are waiting too 😎
Thank you for letting us taking part on your joy of your watches.
Your collection was like a firework of some the greatest watches of the past twenty years.
I'm happy for you to have the opportunity to call them your own and whish you a lot of joy with your collection....as long your brother doesn't claim them for hisself :-) ...get a job Faizal ;-)
This seems to be more of a stock portfolio than watch collection! I guess there is nothing wrong with that though!!
It’s a very impressive collection, but it is the most finance bro collection I’ve ever seen.
If I remember correctly from watching a while back, he works in the medical field in a very niche practice. Can't remember for the life of me what his official job detail is, but I remember searching it and seeing that the median pay was like, 450k/yr or something around that ballpark.
@@TheGamingGeek2001
I think he means the collection is 95% hype stuff with nothing really that “out of the box”
Nice collection all the same but it does look a lot like a greatest hits of Instagram pictures
I agree. It is a hype collection mostly albeit a very nice one.
Would love to see him branch out to some independent brands.
@@thenameiwantedwastaken Thanks that is what I meant, the collection (in my opinion), has no soul. It's googling "Top 20 most popular watches" and buying most of them. I'm a dealer and I have a client who is very wealthy, and yes he has some common hype pieces, (Sub, Speedy, FPJourne), but he also has pieces that sing to him, give his collection character, cheaper but beautiful vintage, a Reverso, a PP Calatrava, a blue Blancpain Bathyscaphe, vintage Tudor Jumbo, a Piaget.
He could have filled the box with Pepsi, Hulk, Batman, Rootbeer, 3 x Daytona, Aquanaut, Nautilus, 2 x Royal Oak, but he said it feels sterile
@@silverlakeas
Oooh, yes!
A Joker and an MB&F would be good additions
Amazing journey and some incredible pieces! My guess for current collection:
AP Skeleton, PP nautilus, Travel time & 5212A, Both Explorers, Kermit, 50th & 116600 SD, 2x Ceramic & Rose gold daytona's, Skydweller, both pepsi's, snoopy, speedmaster 321, JLC reverso, Harrods, BB58 Blue, G-Shock
Knowledge has its price ! As does the excitement ! And pleasure, too ! Congratulations for some really great timepieces ! And, of course, Thank You for all those excellent videos you shared with us !
Its quite scary how long I've been following you. I remember watching nearly all those reviews lol
Excellent collection!.
I recommend the Vacheron Constantin Overseas and A.Lange&Söhne Zeitwerk.
I discovered the LWC channel during LD1, it quickly became a favourite of mine. Watching a fellow collectors journey, showcasing some amazing watches with great videography delivered with a humble and no none sense approach has been a real pleasure. I will have to have a think on how you might streamline your collection and I look forward to following your journey through time. Thank you for your continued content.
This is my first time hearing of this Mikey, but it still warms my heart to hear he is doing well. We humans are funny beings.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful journey with us. Great man, great collection.
I appreciate that you have a large collection of iconic designs. Every time I have purchased a piece to suit the collection instead of my core esthetic, it sits or gets sold. Variations on designs that are most appealing is a fine axiom around witch to aquire an admirable collection.
You’ve had a lot of fun! I was interested in the ‘regret’ watches; I suppose it’s part of the learning process. I need to think about the list of watches you’ve kept….
Simply an insane watch collection,thanks for this content🙏🏼
What a breathtaking collection, that AP skeleton looks absolutely stunning
An amazing collection! Well done! It also makes me think what sort of career change I need to make to even remotely be able to approach this 😅
You must like watches. Always interesting how many collectors have a Seiko SKX somewhere in the collection. So true, no one forgets their first.
It might sound like sour grapes, but that is not a watch collection. It's just walking into ADs and buying up all their new stock and then flipping a good chunk of it. A collector spends months, possibly years, looking for the perfect Rolex 1016 with a beautiful aged gilt dial, or a 90s Breitling Chronomat GT with box and papers. That is collecting. This is just flashing the plastic!
Collecting is what you make it out to be nothing more nothing less. Stop trying to dictate how people should collect and spend their money. Be weird somewhere else.
A true collector always has a Seiko... 🤜🤛
Wow, amazing collection. It says a lot when you can skip past watches which in most other peoples collections would be grail pieces. Good luck to you and more power to your elbow.
Amazing journey my friend thanks for sharing with us!!
What an incredible collection!!!
Fantastic video, I thoroughly enjoyed it and thank you for sharing.
Probably the most unimaginative watch collection on CZcams. So much money, so little thought. Hope this guy finds his own taste one day.
Nothing wrong with his taste. Not everyone has to be a hipster to be cool.
@@willbetenson8299 it’s not a cool collection, it’s just a generic modern expensive collection.
Have a lemon...oh my mistake, you're plenty bitter enough. 😂
There is always that one guy.
I d be more than happy to own just 1 of that collection [ any of them]
Thank you for great review! Great job as usual. Have a nice holiday season!
Great collection!

A lot of hate comment from jealous folks .. this is an amazing collection and most hold and appreciate in value .. smart move .. please post more
Most impressed with the 321, AP RO blue and Aquanaut TT. Definitely my top 3. I would add a blue Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Ocean Commitment III, but there are only 250 in the world and all have been sold.
A hulk on display. It really was a different era.
Hey LWC! I would recommend trying Equus leather in England and getting a custom strap for your grand seiko from them. I got one for my skyflake, a blue ostrich strap which I quite enjoy. Just got a meteorite JLC master calendar and may do one for that as well though that strap looks more complicated so not sure if they can do it.
Amazing collection!
Not gonna try to guess what is in your current collection but have to confess it’s been a warp speed of experience and change in tastes. Great video!
Great collection! 👍
Best way to start a Saturday morning: a coffee and a LWC video.

He is the ultimate flexer. How can you wear this many watches ?
Dream collection!
You've had some incredible pieces in your collection. Not sure what your SOTC is now, did you say that and I missed it?
Since I started collecting in October of last year, 21 watches have spent time in my collection. I'm at 10 now and I feel content while I wait for one or two more. I'm done looking cause I love every piece and like to give each one wrist time, at minimum, once every two weeks.
It’s cool to see how your tastes change I recon a few of the earlier ones will be gone apart from the more sentimental of like your first for example but it looks like your moving more towards patek and a few watches you loved a while buck but can now buy without contemplating the price like the reverso. Collections gonna look like patek a few of your favourite Rolexes and some of the newer omegas/ others you have bought with a possible addition of a Lange and many more Pateks to come!
Amazing collection, you are very lucky.
Bravo. Amazing.

Nice! He should pin you.
Thanks for sharing wear them in good health ✌️
Wish you to acquire even more as time goes by! Good luck and stay healthy.
He is a lucky man… just need to stay healthy and become the luckiest man.
Awesome collection. I am super jealous
You mentioned you’ve got one that is worth more than the collection combined, where is that? 😉
My thought exactly
Maybe it is an emotional value rather than monetary like a watch from his father
@@majedalessa8376 quite possible… but what is it?
It might be a grand father clock.
JLC Reverso an absolute keeper!
One of those watches would solve all of my financial problems
SKX would solve all of yours financial problems?
@@markootb ok except seiko
@@markootb 🤣
@@markootb lol
I like your collection!
I contacted Stowa via email to see about buying a Fleiger and can’t wait for the unboxing!
Amazing!
Collectors dream my friend, but I understand the reasoning behind down sizing .
But I'm sure the 21 that are left will be some really heavy hitters. 😀
I would have to see that insurance bill lol. Awesome collection my friend!,
It's nice to be rich. Thank you for the video.
Impressive collection! All the money in the world may not buy health or happiness,but it sure seems to buy nice watches !!
very nice video/ collection.you got in to it way earlier than I . - I know they are expensive , I don't like the looks of the RM's - . very much like your first Daytona & sky dweller . be safe LWC . ~ JDS/CT
Hey no VC? that's a shame. no Offshore either :-(
What happened to do A Lange Sonhe Odyssus? did you get it in the end? (is it part of the 2 new upcoming watch purchases?)
Amazing collection.👍👍👍
Congrats for your channel! Really i dont have any watch, i love to see it thanks for videos reviews and that incredible summary. I want to buy my first watch and i ve many doubts rolex or omega????? If you had to buy one single watch, which do you choose it? Thanks!!
Man you have experienced alot of flavors ----can you do a video on your winder set up ---that thing looks like a beast ...I've never used a winder and honestly I regret it due to one of my offshore not getting used and developing an issue with the date ...it wasn't old just never worn ...I truly believe had it have been on a winder the movement would have broken in and worked this issue out but who know
saw the entire video. The one watch that beats all other is the Rolex daytona in white dial. The second one would be the AP in white dial. thanks for sharing your journey. it clears up a lot of confusion in my head.
Classic collection. Question, how many a new watches and how many are pre owned. Where do you purchase pre owned and are you comfortable buying pre owned watches?
Amazing collection. Hopefully we get a little time to work on this quiz properly 😂
This is goals. Getting a new watch every month ahaha
goals
Congratulations 4 your watch collection!!! The next, maybe Platona?
Exelente coleccion amigo, cuando tienes relojes quieres MAS!
Great Collection👏. I wish I had one of them. Always on a waitlist. What's your favorite one?
This is an impressive purchasing history few collectors could afford. You put the thrills of getting a new watch to the next level.
Wonder how/if you find time to bond with any particular watch.
Very nice collection!
Greetings from Macedonia 👋
Woooooooow...!!!
Love the God tier steel Casio 👌
