Apologies for being late to comment on this one. LOVE LOVE LOVE the collection and your explanations behind them. My faves has to be that Tag, the Casios and that Seiko 5. But the Omega really is top. Pure class. Happy new year and keep up the wonderful videos. O&U! T.
Thank you T! Means a lot 🙏 Happy new year to you and your loved ones. Keep inspiring, as you do 💪
I think that tag is a great example of how important personal fit is for enjoyable wear. It looks like the perfect bracelet fit and case size for you and it’s so thin while still being robust.
Bang on mate! Sometimes you can't predict these things 😆
Tag Heuer was an iconic brand for me as a 90s teenager, because of the strong relationship with formula1 as an official timekeeper for many years . Recently I managed to buy a vintage midsize formula 1 watch, you know these colorful little watches with the plastic bezels I always wanted and I'm super happy. I even bought a second one 2000 series midsize. Yes, TAG Heuer is an icon for my generation what can I say!
I personally think that they'll have a bit of a revival in the next year or so... Maybe the glory days will return! Regardless, I love mine! Happy new year my friend 🙏
Great stuff! Happy new year. Keep it coming.
Cheers! Happy new year to you my friend. Hope you are well 🙏
A really nice variety of watches! I think the Seiko and the Kamasu stand out for me. A great year of content Kieron, here's to loads more in '24! And to 20,000 subs! Happy New year mate 🎉👍
Cheers Rik! Thanks for your support this year mate. I wish you and your loved ones a happy new year 🙏🎉
Does your second hand spaz out on the rangemaster like mine when winding and setting time bud?
My man! I’ve been waiting for your State of the Collection and I have to say I’m definitely impressed. Love the micros (Straton and Borealis). I need to get my collection down from 25 to 15 next year 😂 Happy new year 🎉
Cheers Chris! I'll be trying to get down to around 8 by the end of next year (for my personal collection). Not including review pieces etc. Happy new year mate 🙏 here's to a good 2024 🥂
Nice collection. I fell in love and bought the Tiffany Blue F-91W after watching one of your vids!
That Orient Kamasu is a bloody good watch (color matched and my first auto-mechanical watch) - I did really enjoy the Sanda Tank, took your word and bought it. thanks!
Good man! It's a beast for how little it costs. Happy new year 🙏
@@TopTierTicker Happy New Year to you too. Thanks
Great overview of all those watches! I was definitely surprised the Orient wasn’t your favorite over the year….very interesting!
I’d rather have an OG of a watch you really want then keeping all these homages.
Didn't ask bud
@@TopTierTickerno but you do preach to others that homages are the devil. Yet you own a bunch yourself. And you seem to struggle with this simple truth - hence your rather rude comment back here. By doing KZhead videos and keeping comment on then you literally DID ask. 🙄
@@drdesign6886 homages are the devil 😂😂😂 feel free to link me a clip where I said anything even close to as severe as that. It's really not that hard to understand... I don't like homage watches that are completey stolen desings. I don't like watches that are a 1 for 1 copy of another model. You and others seem to think that ANY element that even resembles another watch is a homage. This is not the case. Aside from the Sanda, all of the watches in this video feature original design elements.
@drdesign6886 I'll make a video in January covering the topic in detail and explain my stance on them properly.
@@TopTierTicker dude I am not fussed on what is or isn’t a homage. If a watch is legal then it should be end of conversation. To have some personal subjective rules on what makes a homage is somewhat gatekeeping (when you keep stating it online). If you need to make a video on it then it’s clear it’s a very subjective thing. We can all agree fakes/replicas are bad form. Nothing subjective there. Stick to that and let everyone else enjoy what they want without criticism. Ironically I don’t actually buy homages myself - I did early in my collecting - a Steinhart or 2. Not so much because they are somehow morally questionable - but more I started spending more money on my watches (big mistake!!!). That’s why I’d never be critical of them - because it’s essentially gatekeeping what ppl can buy and own who cannot afford certain brands. If you like the look of a sub and can’t afford it then go nuts and buy a Steinhart or a San Martin. All above board. If you can afford the Rolex then also go nuts -but don’t tell others they can’t own the look for less - they can.
I just recently discovered your channel. Keep up the good work. I like the fact that you are not trying to mimic a formula or another youtuber.
Well thank you sir! I'm slowly developing my own style of video creation, so I'm glad to hear that it was different to everyone else. Welcome to the channel, I hope you enjoy the future videos 🙏
Great collection and video. I am also looking into smaller, dressier watches as i enjoy the comfort and looks of watches more than i care about Specs.
I'll be exploring this section of watches a lot throughout 2024, so keep an eye out for some videos 😁
You're good at this. Keep it up!
Great collection. Just subscribed & looking forward to your reviews in 2024.👍
The two pieces in your collection for me are the wise and the seiko cement. One you might want to try which is great on our size wrist is the seiko 5 sports 38mm dive style.(replacement for the skx 013). Thanks for sharing.
That sportiva is really cool!
Smashing collection mate, for me the top one has to be the Monbrey, but I do also love the Phoibos
Beautiful collection bro 😊
What do you guys think of Qmax watches?
I have a Heuer Tag 1000 and love it
I've built a decent collection over the past two years. I've focused mostly on smaller brands but I noticed that as my collection grew, I didn't need or want certain watches anymore. I've given watches to my best friend, my nephews and even donated watches. I do have two watches in my collection that I haven't worn because they're gifts and I don't wanna be A dick and give them away (one being a Tissot Classic Dream with a black dial). But I like my collection. My most worn watches are my Orient Neo70 Solar Panda, Seiko 5 SNXS73K, Tissot PRX Green Dial, and G-Shock (I've had this watch for the past 12 years and I've just replaced the battery for the first time since receiving it. Very reliable watch) Also, I bought my wife a tag heuer 2000 just so she can have a decent luxury watch.
Very nice my friend. That's a solid collection. Also, a great gift for your wife. Happy new year 🙏
Nice one Kieron. Can't wait to see what you have in store in 2024! 👍
Cheer L doggy. I've been VERRYY tempted to pick up the Clive Cussler Doxa... I can't work out whether it's just a fling or a full blown romance
I really like Phoibos but I want my watches with a serious logo - not something that is more suited to a kid's toy... but maybe that's just me. Anyway if they ditch the logo and improve the clasp, I'll give them another look.
I get that, it isn't the most mature logo around is it 😆 Yeah, if they upgraded their models to on the fly adjustments... That would be incredible
🔥
You have great taste in watches. My favorites were the Oris, the Tag, and the Tissot. PS Come on Arsenal 😁
That tag is my favorite 😍
Yeeesss! It's nice to see Tag finally getting a bit of love! Great watch, I'd recommend trying one out. You can pick them up for the same price as a Tissot...
Great collection Kieron, however I did notice a lot of sky blue in the collection for a red? keep up the good work.
Hahaha, unfortunately sky blue doesn't belong to any specific club. You have to have a decent history in the colours for that to become a reality ;)
Please kindly share the link for the TAG heuer 2000 watch
Impossible for me to share a link with you, it's a vintage watch. They take some digging and researching. I'd recommend frequently checking out ebay and chrono24 until you find one you like
Of all watches I’m wearing the Islander/TGV Rangemaster no.52.😎👍🏼 I also have a Tag Heuer 2000 2 tone but polished model. It’s a late 90’s model & is still in very good condition. I really like your Oris 36mm! Nice.
Niiice! is it the first Rangemaster or the manual wind version? The Tag 2000 is a hugely underrated watch!
For me it's the stonewashed, moon dial Seiko 5. Looks fantastic. 👌
What bracelet did you buy for the Kamasu 2? It looks amazing with the watch
It's just a black tropic strap! You can get them from any decent strap shop for about $20
Made from silicone I assume? It's just we use a lot different terminology in our language for watches in general so I wanna make sure I get the right one haha@@TopTierTicker
Sorry for the late response. That is a well considered collection! Your preference for lightweight slim watches mirrors mine. I was thinking you might get more wrist time out of the Tissot if you upgraded the strap. While you might be attached to it for sentimental reasons, I suspect that a high end leather in a dark color could make that watch feel more elegant and special.
I did think about that. But, if I drop £50+ on a 19mm strap for it, and I still don't find myself wearing it, I'm stuck with a random 19mm strap 😂
Great video again. I’m a fan of Nottingham forest so sorry about that 😂
Your collection is really varied in styles and colours. Often in someone's collection, you'll see a particular favourite brand or style, but it's difficult to see that in yours. (Maybe military watches?)
It's a bit jumbled because of all the review pieces. Once you start making reviews it's hard to keep a watch collection that is fully my own. This will be something I look to change in 2024. I'm hoping to develop a 6-8 piece core collection that's separate from my review watches. I value vintage, historical and original design pieces. So, hopefully next years SOTC will reflect that. Appreciate the comment mate, thanks for sparking my enthusiasm!
Nice collection. I might be interested in that wise one if you decide to let it go. Possible exchange as may have something great for you as it wears a tad small on my 7.25 wrist
Sure! Shoot me a DM over on Instagram and we'll work something out!
@@TopTierTicker will do, cheers
Fellow Manc, now subscribed, great down to earth video
Good man. Always love seeing a fellow Manc in the comments 👊 welcome to the channel
That red orient... insane ❤
I'll be making a little video on my Kamasu soon, just confessing my love for it's pure beauty 😂😆
Waiting for it 💪😀
What will be the price on the wise? Do you ship internationally? Thanks.
No idea yet, I usually do a bit of research to find out the going rate, deduct a a percentage and list it on my website. Keep an eye on my website throughout the first week of January, it will be going up. Happy new year 🙏
@@TopTierTicker happy New year. Much sucess for you!
Just discovered you Just subscribed 🤟🏻
Welcome aboard, It's good to have you! Hopefully I can earn your early subscription throughout January 🙏 happy new year my friend
It took me 20 years to realize the reason I wore some watches more than others was the bracelet. I like watches on bracelets but I don’t like wearing watches on bracelets. 😂
I'm the opposite... I think watches look better on straps, but always prefer wearing the bracelet... Strange Happy new year my friend 🙏
I'm missing a Vostok haha
the sanda tank is a real gem for this money.. could u suggest some good everyday chronographs for under 250 eur if you wouldnt mind?
happy new years btw your channel is epic my dude, keep it up love the videos
It is, fantastic for the price! I'll have a top 10 Affordable chronographs video out in January. Which will include some under 250. So keep an eye out Happy new year my friend 🙏
Great collection, you are the only watch enthusiast that has only one Seiko
I try to only have one of each brand. Otherwise it seems a bit greedy and indecisive 😆 although there're tons of Seiko models I would love to own
What is your wrist size?
6.5inch
moston red here
0:58 Sad, but i used to be a Man utd fan, way back in 2000s. Glad i dont watch football anymore, i would be either severely depressed or very angry =] Great collection.
🤣 You kind of become numb to it after the years of agony. Although it has started to feel rather painful recently.
Every single one, apart of the G-Shocks, costs more than 300 Euros. " A F F O R D A B L E "
Each watch is around the $500 mark.
I really enjoyed this video just like I do most of your videos, I like the affordable aspect of your collection too, the only thing that is stopping me from giving you a subscribe is the fact that you talked about selling or trading a watch that was given to you- I know it wasn’t by a friend but it was by a manufacturer so that’s still a faux pas in my mind.
Is the rallygraph gone?
Rallygraf went early in the year. I sold it because I bought a speedmaster... The speedmaster got cancelled/refunded on me and I was left without either watch.
Fine I’ll subscribe! 😂
Thank you sir, I promise that you might regret it at some point 😉 Happy new year 🙏
A city blue csio you've gone down in my opinion 😂
Sorry meant casio
🤣🤣 They don't make a red one. Also, who are City? Small clubs can't own colours 😂😆
Haha ok your back up there for me lol
Love the collection to m8 I've just added the seiko speedtimer 39 green diel to mine absolutely love it
You should do a video for people who need bigger watches.
It wouldn't be reliable information with me recommending them. I'd only be speaking from guess work instead of actual experience. Also, plenty of these watches are 40mm+.... That's plenty of size, regardless of wrist circumstance
I have the same red Kamasu but the red is a different football team…Liverpool.
😆 Same watch, rival teams... Love that. Happy new year mate.
@@TopTierTicker same to you mate
Y’all should subscribe. This guy makes quality, unpretentious watch videos.
I wonder what Archie would have to say. I'd be tempted to sponsor a review for the entertainment value. You see, I can't get my head around it. If I was you, with your wrist, I would have just saved for as long as it took, and then bought maybe a Tudor Black Bay 58. One and done, but half decent. Don't get me wrong, there a place for affordable watches - I have a Casio AE-1200, and I bought a nice Vario strap for it, it cost peanuts, and I do like really it. But I also have proper hard hitting watches, like for example, the Polar Explorer II and a 15500 Royal Oak. The Explorer will put up with anything, I never have to worry about it getting damaged, and anything bad can be fixed. The AP is a delicate thing of, frankly, immense beauty - it's for special moments when I can take very good care of it. The satisfaction level that these watches give me is off the scale. Yes, they are expensive, and I had to wait for them, but I'll get my money back - all of it - and more, if I ever need it. There is an heirloom quality watch for every budget, and we can all join a list and save for a couple of years. It's really worth it if you love watches.
I get you, that's how the watch game works. It's a ladder. I'm taking it slowly. I had the opportunity to pick up a speedy in 2023, but decided to wait. What's the rush!? I'm 27. Hopefully I have another 40 years of enjoying watches. My collection will eventually evolve into some bigger pieces. But I'm not going to force it. I'm enjoying the journey, slowly making my way through what's on offer. But I certainly won't be buying a BB58. Incredibly boring. I'll almost certainly go with something vintage, even when I do decide to take the next jump up in value. That's what I value and appreciate with the hobby.
@@TopTierTicker I respect that. We are just not the same. If you were given a chance to buy a speedy, in good condition and at a fair price, and - crucially, if you could comfortably afford it - then I don't understand your reluctance to buy it. It might have been a game-changer for you. To me, the only downside of you being young - I'm 64 - is that you might not be ready to protect your good watches from theft. When I was you're age, I had a Cartier Santos I bought when I was working in Saudi Arabia, and being well paid, and I bought a Tag Heuer on a visit to Hong Kong. They were both stolen because I was young, inexperienced and made bad decisions. I have better watches now, but I take care - I even have a safe deposit box at the bank. My message is this: Stretch yourself, every time you buy a cheap watch you are losing money that could be better spent on real quality, on watches that - if you are patient enough to join a list, and if you choose wisely - will gain in value, as well as give you so much pleasure. Don't go too slow - you could be hit by a bus tomorrow. But I do wish you good luck, and a pleasurable watch journey.
I appreciate the advise. I will remember when when I do get something big. Regarding the wasting money part, that's actually completely incorrect. I've made profit on almost every single watch I've purchased. I'm a northerner, I'll always find the bargains. I also appreciate the don't go too slow comment, I do sometimes feel that maybe I am. But I'll be picking up something big this month, to celebrate my birthday, 20k subscribers and a full year of making these videos consistently. Likely a seamaster professional 300. I'll never turn my nose up at affordable pieces though. There are some real hidden gems out there that offer something no big brand can do. And that's the area I try and explore with my affordable reviews. Anyway, appreciate your time and advise. Take care for now
That Longe looks like a 212
If you squint hard enough, I suppose 🤔😆
@@TopTierTicker lol the only difference between the two is diabetes
If that Orient reminds you of Man U, you might wanna wear it as rarely as possible, mate😂
Ey!!! We'll have enough of that thank you
It's definitely not man u colours........because being a leeds utd fan I definitely will be looking at the orient kamasu
Hahaha I'm sorry that I've given the watch that association for you. The new Mako 3 white dials are proper Leeds colours though 😉
Nice collection, but: That Deville looks nothing like a Cartier tank, omg, why do people make stupid claims just because a rectangle matches a rectangle lol. There's no such things as a 'Royale' - Casio don't hang nicknames on their watches ok. Indices is Mathematics eg: Algebra, it has nothing to do with the watch world.
Wtf is your problem? I think you need some love in your life 😂😂😂
I've been really liking the Orient Kamasu for a while now, and had intended buying one......THEN you go and mention Man United....FFS. LOL.
😂😂😂 Looks like you'll have to go for a different colour. Sorry about that
@@TopTierTicker LOL, nah, I'll just try to erase my memory about that aspect of the watch, it looks gorgeous in red so I'll stick with it. I'm not into football, so it's not as if I'm associating the colour with a team that I am actively opposed to! It is as you quite rightly say, one of the better looking red dials out there! The only comparable one I think is the Seiko Cocktail Time 'Negroni'. Now trying to decide between a Kamasu OR a German World War 2 vintage DH watch......Can't afford both right now.
I ended up going for the German DH watch......Saw a really nice Doxa example from 1945, it's had a replacement crystal, and possibly a replacement crown, but other than that it's apparently all original, and works like a dream. Less than Plus 20 seconds per day, which in my view absolutely bloody amazing for a 79 year old watch. Even got the name of the previous owner scratched onto the caseback which is a nice extra touch......Nothing obviously fake (doesn't say H Göring LOL).
You say 'if you break the F-91W.' You'd have to fall into an active volcano to break an F-91W.
😂 Love that
Delivered like a true Scotsman, 50 for a rubber!!!!??????
I'm from Manchester mate 😂
You have a couple of “inspired” homage watches in your collection.. I think it’s time you stop ragging on people who buy homage watches. If it tells the time and you like it, it a good watch!
I don't rage on about them, I've talked about how I prefer original design watches. I'll say the same thing I always have, I see why people collect them, I respect what they offer. And I'll even dabble myself now and then with them. But I do think there's a big difference between a genuine homage and a clomage. I'll never like a 1 for 1 submariner 'homage'. Watches that take a popular design and change something, even as little as the colours, passes the test. I will say, I have softened to them over time. I just think that watches with an original design, brands who invest in research and development, take risks with designs, deserve our attention and money. That won't change.
ill take that stratton off your hands for the right price. let me know
I like watch channel and creators looking for "something a little different". Too many creators are reviewing and hyping up the same watches other creators are reviewing and that bores me.
Welcome to the TTT channel! That's what I try and do here. Anything that's a bit different, I try and review!
A Manchester United fan with a light blue watch. Hmmm are you slowly falling for the better team? 😂😂😂
You did that Tissot dirty with that ugly ass watch band😂
😂😂😂
ggmu
Nice normal person collection. Tired of seeing everyone have a 100k collection
Cheers mate, appreciate you watching
Great, your mom bought you the cheapest watch she could find.
Sell that crap and buy a decent watch.
