Exceptional collection. Because you own watches from affordable to luxury and in between, you’re a true watch enthusiast, not a snobbish collector. The range of affordable to luxury watches in your collection is what I like the most here. Kudos 🤘🏻 🔥
I appreciate the kind words, thank you!
I agree, but I sometimes think there cannot be a snobbish collector if the man behind it is right. Or we are all snobs
The first one is one of the most beautiful citizens I,'ve seen!
Im inspired now to work my ass off my whole life to one day have such an amazing collection. Loved it.
Sinn 556 is honestly my favourite of the bunch! It’s my dream watch hope to have one someday
It's a solid timepiece
That first Citizen that your dad bought you is priceless. I still have the first adult watch that my dad bought me circa 1975. It was a rectangular gold Timex and and it was like being given the crown jewels. My dad's no longer here so my Timex is worth more to me than any luxury watch.
Truely priceless indeed. I will always cherish that watch and it will never leave my collection.
Gorgeous collection. Thank you!
Man your colleciton has evolved massively! So great to see a variety of brands in different price ranges too. The Khaki Field and the World Timer are stand outs for me. Can't wait to see how your collection looks in 2024.
It sure has changed quite a bit in a year. 2024 will be exciting.
Damn. One of the nicest collections I’ve seen, loved all of them. Not a single watch felt as a ”filler”. +1 sub
I appreciate the support 👍
Not one watch the wholly trinity aka AP, Patek or Vacheron and you already creamed your shorts.. common bro
I'm a little surprised that you don't have an Orient in your collection. I liked your collection, the order is great, I would like to say that it impressed me, especially the progression from Citizen to other top models. I was happy to have Citizen in the collection because I own a Tsuyosa, it's a great collection.❤❤❤❤❤
I'm looking into adding a kamasu 40, just waiting to see if they add some other bezel/dial options.
I forget that Smiths exists, but every time I see one I feel the urge to ruin my life financially to own one lol. Definitely my favorite from your collection, props!
Hey ,really clean watches .❤ I love the fact that you have a story for every watch you own.
I went into my local high end watch shop checking out the newest IWCs, Zeniths and Grand Seikos. So many new great options. 30 minutes later as I walked out and realized for the first time I didn't even bother to look at any of the Tudors or Rolex on display. That's never happened before.
World timer, smiths and that last sinn 556a I think it was stands out for me and great to see a channel start from a maybe it might work to this. God willing this channel goes from strength to strength, we just to start a meet up now and that will help. 👍🏻🏴
This is my kind of collection. More affordable options moving up to the more expensive pieces. Excellent collection!
A most excellent collection! Thanks for sharing, and enjoy them in good health.
That King turtle looks really good!
Its such an amazing piece for the price.
100% influenced me to buy the Seiko Flieger 😂
❤ great collection, and brilliant mini watch reviews
Thank you! I appreciate you checking out my collection
Thanks for the heads up on the SRPJ bracelet from Larry!
No problem at all 👍
A true watch collector.
Nice. Out of all the watches, that Seiko SRPJ89 really caught my eye. Nice green dial with that metal ring, and I'm a bit weak for slightly domed crystals. Certainly not the most expensive piece in your collection, but really nice looking. It fits extremely well on your wrist.
very broad collection. and good video, thank you. have to say though, top five: your Hamilton, your Speedmaster, your AirKing and your two GMTs: they nail it in five watches… and I’m a Seiko guy. fwiw i think if you checked out the vintage Turtle and Tuna models you’d be impressed. I’ve come away from new Seiko in favour of vintage: they were so good back in the 70s.
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for the suggestion. New Seiko definitely doesn't have the same charm as it used to.
Great collection! Great taste because I own a couple of the same watches!. You should be proud of your watch collection!
Amazing collection! You should not be afraid of leather watch bands either
Out of all, king turtle with that bracelet really caught my eyes.
Love the king turtle
I have the same Seiko SNK357 but in white/silver and is a great looking one, elegant and looks more expensive than what it is congrats on your coll.
I agree, the SNK357 punches well above its weight
Perfect collection 🎉
Great watch collection, started just like mine, some watches I got as I gift, some I’ve bought abroad, one of them is more than 18 years old, some watches I bought over the last 6 years but now with over 50 watches I stepped into an upper level I got a Pepsi a Airking and also a Submariner plus many brands like Tag, Seiko, Citizen, Bulova, Tissot etc…
Wow that King Turtle looks amazing. imo the best of the bunch and on the bracelet? looks fantastic.
Hello, and thanks for this video Welcome Wrist. With many Seikos and Rolexes it could have been one of these so many "Perfect KZheadr collector" collections ... But you succeded to have any Casio, nor any Tudor in it. ;) And, most important, we could feel passion about your collection (and not just "I paid xxx$ for this one and yyy€ for this one"). And we could appreciate your personal journey into collecting watches (the way you modified some of your Seikos, the fact that, if you have to keep only one watch, it will be the Khaki Field, etc ...) Once again, thank you for this video. I'll be glad to discover the next state of the collection. :)
I love the new Air King and the updates they did to it, especially the buckle. If it had Glidelock, it would be perfect (although EasyLink isn't bad).
I agree, I think Rolex did a great job with the Air-King
Great collection! I like it a lot! You’re missing Tudor and titanium. So maybe a Pelagos 39 would be a good addition. I like the standard Pelagos more, but the 39mm would suit your wrist size better.
Great collection!
Enjoyed this. Great collection! Leans sport, but you be you. I dare say, my favorite is the prior gen Seiko 5. Love that dial! Maybe next is dress watch on leather? 😊
Very nice collection. Makes me consider an Airking in the future.
The Air-King is awesome, an underrated offering from Rolex.
Sick collection man! Enjoy!
To be fair the 36 and 37mm watches look best on your wrist. The rest look too big and bulky for your wrist size. The Airking despite size wasn’t bad.
I think that this is very good collection. Not only expensive watches. Every model has unique style! Thanks a lot! It was very interesting! 👍
Wow! I love your modded seiko with your initials! Great collection bro!
Thank you!
amazing collections, I am about to get some Seiko soon
Awesome collection 👍 IWC would be nice to see there as well, but there is always time and motivation to expand.
I recently bought an IWC mark XX with the green dial. I've recorded an unboxing of it if you want to check it out 👍
5 seconds into the video observation- someone likes bracelets. After watching the video it's a great collection and we have the Hamilton khaki polar and Seiko king turtle "dark manta" in common.
Love the Seikos. Your lighting and camera setup seem great! Care to share any tips there? You do a great job keeping reflections off the crystal
I use a ring light with my camera centered in the middle of it.
Nice collection diversity, respect your passion about each one. New subscriber, cheers from Montana. 👍⌚⛰️🌲
Turtles are also my favourite animal hahahaha! Very nice collection!
Turtles are just so damn cool
Good watch collection 👍🏻
Great collection 👊🏽👍🏽
I think Seiko King Turtle looks best on your arm. I think it's a nice collection.
That omega world timer is GORGEOUS! I am thinking of that for my 1st luxury watch purchase soon!
It's like a piece of art
hat off to you owning a wide variety from sinn to rolex and seiko and citizen❤
What a great collection!
I have an earlier Speedmaster with that same bracelet, and I agree it is the most comfortable bracelet I've ever worn.
Congratulations for the great collection
That Grand Seiko SNK357 is amazing 😅
I think the dial is worthy of the Grand Seiko name
Great collection!!!
With such vast collection, where do you find the best "deals"? Authorized dealers or the grey market? If the grey market, which website? Thank you.
Some lovely watches. They don’t half all look similar though. It’s like you have 20 variations of 1 watch. We all do this hobby differently though, you do you dude.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Great video brother!! Well done
i have that sinn 556 and it my everyday watch to wear. The finishing of the bracelet is so cool.
Very interesting and lovely collection 🎉🎉❤
Cool collection 👍
Great video, love seeing your collection. How do you know what watch to wear? I’m so indecisive!
Most the time I just pick up what I feel like wearing on the day, but it can change depending on the occasion. I'll sometimes change watches throughout the day too.
Pure class collection
bro your collection is AWESOME
16:00 It is. I have it too. 🙌🏻😁
I'm just here for the Seiko Sarb033. One of my favorite watches from my collection early on before it got discontinued. Not a fan of the customization but hey all the power to you.
Great Content.
Omega World Timer is amazing
Nice collection! 👌But love the air king I have one can’t get it out of my wrist . Next is gmt let’s see how soon I can get one !
Great collection.
Awesome
Solid collection. Love to see what others spend their money on. I'm going to try and get a batman from my AD. We'll see.
Great video. You have exactly my taste🎉
Super bro👍👏
Great collection
Thank you!
Nice collection! It´s wild for me to see a collection with no rubber, leather or nato straps 😂
I do wear some on straps occasionally, however, I am a bracelet guy at heart. I paired them all with a bracelet for consistency in the video.
@@welcomewrist love it! I’m getting so irritated by all my braclets as I work at my computer all day😂😅 Looking to by more straps!
Every one of those watches is stunning.
17 watches and Ticking Hope you reach to 30 watches so you have one for every day Suggest you add a Diver/s (Doxa, Citizen / Omega / Tissot) & a Metal Casio G Shock (GMW-B5000D-1DR) to your Grand Collection All The Best & Stay Healthy
Nice collection man, and you seem to be a really nice guy too! Kudos ;-)
Thank you! That's very nice of you to say that. You seem like a nice guy yourself.
Hey can you give your price and background on the batgirl and pepsi? That would be amazing Great collection 🔥
Great collection. I'm like you - I much prefer a stainless steel bracelet to leather strap. Kennedys must been looking after you for those GMT-II's! For my personal tastes, on the top row I'd sell all except the sarb and king turtle, because I cap my collection at 12. I have tried titanium but don't like it - feels too light and looks too dull. The blue hue around the crystal edge on that Smiths would drive me nuts. I had a microbrand watch from the UK that also had that - wasn't a Smiths though. It drove me nuts and I had to get rid of it for that reason alone. I absolutely love that sarb though and what you did with it. I'd put in a sapphire crystal if not already. For the King turtle I have one and hated the steel bracelet. Well mine is a standard turtle but modded with sapphire and bezel tweaks. I love the style and fit, and wear it on an FKM rubber strap, which flops around a lot less than the steel bracelet as that turtle watch head tends to be top-heavy. For the bottom row I'd keep the dark green Omega AT, the speedy, the pepsi, and the Sinn on the far right. My reasoning is also to keep the collection down but specifically - that world timer reminds me that my eyesight is no good as the text is really small and I wouldn't be able to read it. The Air-King is just a mass of numbers to me - mostly 5's - and I don't vibe with it. Probably another eyesight thing. I'd sell the Batman as you have the Pepsi, and the Pepsi might get discontinued next year. That Sinn chrono is cool, but you already have the speedy. So yeah I'd build a 6 watch collection out of what you have, leaving me 6 slots to fill with other pieces :)
Great feedback! What timepieces would you fill the other 6 slots with?
nice collection. I like the Sinns
The modern Air-King is awesome.
Seiko SRPJ89 is so beautiful
I like everyone in your collection! I hope in 10 years or 20 years I can have the same collection :P
Sinn 356 stands out from this amazing crowd to me. Probably a hot take, but it’s my favorite one in the collection
It's such a fantastic timepiece, and it's quite robust for a chronograph
Agreed!
sinn released a special aniversary collection of the 356 and they are awesome
Great video, thanks. Am I right in thinking that your Speedy is the Sapphire version with the display case back?
Yep, it's sapphire.
@@welcomewrist thanks. I like your collection. We only share (almost) one watch - I have the red seconds version of your Sinn 556a and absolutely rate it like you do. Did you get your Rolex’s grey market or AD route?
NICE!!! 👍👏👏👏👏👏
Nice collection
Very nice collection. Only thing missing is the zombie apocalypse watch. A Casio!! G-shock Or 3 😂
Actually real outdoorsman would tell you G-shocks don’t survive extreme temperatures, the batteries can’t handle it like a Rolex would, actually Rolex beats a lot of brands when tested to extreme.
I have a 356 on a fine link as well. I wear it more than anything else I have.
It's becoming one of my most worn watches. Such an awesome piece.
Great collection. My only critique is that every watch is on a silver coloured bracelet. You should get some leather and NATO straps. To me the Hamilton has to be on leather.
That's fair. I occasionally wear my watches on straps, but I had them all on bracelets for consistency. I will change this for the next SOTC.
Where did you pick the parts for the SARB033? I can’t find a replacement SARB dial anywhere.
The only things I changed were the hands (hour and minute hands from Lucius Atelier, second hand from Esslinger) and added on a custom logo for my initials. The logo has an adhesive backing like a sticker.
Nice. If I could only choose 3. Batgirl, speedmaster, air king😁
Great selection
I think you would really like the IWC Mark XVIII on fully brushed steel bracelet. It would very well into your collection.
Stay tuned, I have some something similar I just pick up 🤫
AMAZING collection but please, add a nato strap on the speedy for example
Nice collection. I’m not so keen on the current generation of GMTs. I prefer the pre-ceramics. I think the Speedmaster is the best in your collection
I see you like steel watchess on bracelets, especially with black dials
Wow. Amazing collection! How long did it take you to create this collection? Also, what do you think is the ideal number in a collection? Thanks
I've been collecting for about 10 years. I'm currently trying to find the ideal number myself, and have downsized since this video. The next SOTC will be an interesting one.
@@welcomewrist Sure will!
Quite the collection there.
