all right so for the first time I'm revealing my watch collection yeah's just the best watch brand on [Music] Earth honestly thank you very much I already have this watch right [Music] here this is probably half of it I've got another 25% of my collection in another box just like this here in Dubai and then I've got another box like this uh in London so I also keep some of my collection in London so in the watch roll I have my four favorite watches in my collection at the moment but we'll save that till the
end of the video what watch would you say you wear the least I guess in the half of the collection that I have here today probably this rose gold Daytona with black dial I've got quite a few white gold daytonas there in the rest of my collection in the other box that doesn't get as much rist time and you'll notice that there's still quite a few scratches on here and that's because any watches that I personally don't wear that much I give to my friends to wear so this has gotten a lot of risk time
on my friends wrists but for me personally I'm just not a massive fan of rose gold and white gold daytonas at least compared to a platinum Daytona or for example something like this I love the rose gold Daytona on the oyster flex and I think it comes down to really just the way that the bezel pops on the oyster Flex because they do the ceramic bezel same as what you'd find on a steel Daytona rather than the bezel that they do on the full rose gold so out of these I'm sure you can understand why
I just prefer the pop of color with the oyster Flex with the steel or for example right here with the Platinum Daytona which you say is your favorite out of these 100% Platinum Platinum I remember I requested this watch from Rolex in 2020 and no one really wanted them like they want them now so yeah what can I say it's just it's there it makes a statement but it doesn't need to scream too loud so this is a watch that I love this is a meteorite Daytona on the oyster Flex once again just talking about
precious metals I got offer the meteorite which is a extremely difficult dial to get I got offered it on my chist between a full white gold or rose gold bracelet and I ended up declining that watch holding out and opting for this instead I took this watch skiing earlier this year and I don't know it just felt like the perfect watch like in the snow in here I have one more I actually wish I'd put Less daytonas in this Bo I wish I'd taken some of my other watches uh I have one more Daytona white
gold blue dial once again just uh once again what can I say beautiful watch classic watch Timeless watch because it's white gold wow this has a lot of scal I think this has been with my friends far more than me so whoever to abuse this watch wow I didn't realize until now it's definitely very scuffed up but at least my friends got some good enjoyment out of it I think I have one Vashon in here so this is the Vashon overseas this is the second overseas that I have so what I love about this watch
which uh is also same with the Cartier Santos so this is one of my skeletons this is a steel I've also got a rose gold I don't really wear this watch much anymore so Alex my head of production this has basically just been his watch this entire year so yeah yeah you're you're daily beater don't worry about it don't worry about it there'd be chunks out if I was wearing it I'm I'm the worst with it so anyways as I was saying the thing I love about this is just this uh easy uh link system
with the bracelet so you can take this off as such and then now you've got the rose gold bracelet off and I don't have the strap here with me but you can put like a Navy strap on I've got Navy strap to match the dial I think without a doubt of any brand this has the most beautiful blue it's honestly just mesmerizing I know that sounds like dramatic but it's you can just look at it in so many different lights the Sunburst effect yeah honestly incredible incredible dial Great brand great watch and I feel like
if you see someone with a Vashon you know that they're probably a bit more of a serious collector than just wearing a royal oak or an allus or something like that let's talk about that AP this one yeah big boy big boy so I'm not really a fan of offshores I'd been offered a couple offshores in the past was never that interested it's a 42 mm offshore and it's also titanium so it's very light usually offshores are very big they're very bulky and fair enough this watch is still very very bulky but I don't know
just quite light and it's big but it's not a 44 like some of their other offshores so I just thought thought you know what I need an offshore in my collection it doesn't get that much risk time but sometimes for example when I'm going on holiday short little trip somewhere you know this makes it outside of the watch case show us something that is a heavy HIIT okay I'll give you what other people would consider I mean there's a lot of Heavy Hitters in here but like one that people would most certainly consider a heavy
hitter and then one that the watch Community uh so this is a 351 this not the 3502 with the open case back it's the 01 with the closed case back this watch is extremely extremely light I have it on the velcro strap over the years I've played around with having this watch with the deployment clasp as well as some of my other RMS I put them on deployment clasps but like I always just keep coming back to the velcro I know it is insane it's absolutely ridiculous to have a watch that's worth $300,000 on velcro
but that's just that's RM RM to me is about just not taking yourself too serious it's comfortable it's light as I said that's why I like the velcro that's why I avoid the deployment clasp so I'd say another one that would be considered a heavy hitter is one of my recent pickups uh this I've been waiting for for some time from pek this is a world time but it's not just any world time it is an enamel world time so actually just a couple months ago I was at pp6 which is pect manufacturing plan and
that was a super cool experience PCH flew me out to Geneva on the jet I got to spend a couple days there I got to sit down and have lunch with their CEO and one of the arms of their manufacturing plant was their enameling facility so basically I got to learn about the whole enameling process and I will say when you go to the factories of these manufacturers it genuinely does just give you a totally new appreciation for these watches so I definitely say that anyone who's into horology this would be a heavy hitter for
them so just going back to complications this is a white gold Nautilus 5740 I'm not going to sit here and pretend to be Nico Leonard and know all the numbers and all the different reference ref is I am a collector I'm not an expert so I do want to just make that clear I'm not going to be able to tell you too much more about the watch except for the fact that I believe it's the most complicated nless it's white gold and it looks beautiful would you say it's your favorite out of that box no
no I'd say that out of this box it's probably either the enamel dial or this which is a rose gold aquanut I adore rose gold watches and the combination of rose gold and brown is my favorite you're going to see one of my watches here and one of my other watches which is my favorite watch and was my favorite watch for the longest time the 5711r rose gold narus until I got something that's in that watch roll which ended up beating it as my favorite watch but yeah when it comes to aquanuts very comfortable I
think incredibly comfortable bracelet I actually find them to be more comfortable than rolex's oyster Flex that's just me personally and I just like the low thin profile of it I just like it when the watches are just flush and Sleek yeah so I love this watch uh let's see if we want to go back to Rolex we've got a couple Day dates in here this is the 60th anniversary green olive dial this is an example in white gold and this is an example in rose gold with a diamond bezel I'm not a massive Diamond guy
to be honest and if it is Diamond obviously it has to be Factory but I don't know sometimes it's fun to just mix up have a little bit little little pop of shine I'd say that there's still a lot of stuff that I really need to EXP explore I pretty much only got Rolex PCH Philip rishard Mill AP feron Cartier I feel like I still have a lot of collecting to do I lot of moon swatches I do have a lot of moon swatches that correct I was wearing one when I started Moon swatches are
just cheap they're just fun I put them on these rubber straps and yeah it's nice if you're ever in Europe and you don't want to get your uh arm chopped off it's good little fun watch to wear uh let's see what else do we have in here we've got Batgirl some people like go on the oyster bracelet I personally like go on the the Jubilee I actually really love this watch I don't know it's just it's a good watch good watch Pepsi I think I've already talked to you guys about this this is a white
gold this is not the steel uh the steel I believe has a darker dial so yeah white gold but for 99% of people you would never be able to tell the difference rose gold AP once again on the theme of thin profile watches I just really love the jumbos because they're thinner more flush some of the AP cases can get kind of big which is great for certain occasions but just dated day I don't I just like the thinner profile of it so I've got this watch as well in Platinum with the green dial and
that watch is crazy watch super difficult super difficult watch to get and then let's see the last one to talk about here is probably this which is the 5205g this a white gold piece from pek at the moment I've got on this sort of canvas e strap I've had this watch for maybe four years three 3 years four years at this point once again it's got this blue Sunburst dial Great watch beautiful beautiful 38 mm so a little on the smaller size for my wrist but it's it's just Timeless it's a Timeless size is going
to be appropriate and hold its own so yeah this is gray watch and then now getting into my favorite pieces in my watch collection at the moment obviously as a collector that changes month by month but they are some Heavy Hitters I will I will say that so these are the four watches that have been in my rotation the most and gone the most risk time as of late this is my favorite watch Ever if I had to have one watch for the rest of my life it would be this it is the 5712r it
took everything that I loved about the 5711r and just made it even better one big thing that they added on this is the extension so if you press here and you can do it on both sides it can make the watch longer it can make the bracelet longer and obviously that is very useful on hot days you can you know increase the extension then that gives you some extra wrist space right now it's quite cold so this slides back back quite a lot for me I don't know what it is but with pek like sometimes
I feel it's inappropriate to wear rose gold in certain situations but like I don't know why with this watch I just feel like it's not screaming like I just feel like it's so elegant so even though it is rose gold even though it can be perceived to some people as flashy for me it's just stuning what a watch what a watch this is a platinum DayDay this exact configuration this has the baguette bezel and it also has the baguette markers you know it's got some ice on here I just think it's incredible I know it's
got some diamonds on here but I still feel like it's appropriate it's not like that crazy it's it's still in a way elegant and I just think it's beautifully balanced there's certain Watchers that you just look at and you're like this works this makes sense and I'd say this is definitely one of those watches where it's just very well balanced now the next watch is incredible absolutely incredible this is a Celestial there's a couple minute repeaters that I'm eyeing up I I think that'll probably be my next dress watch from pek is a minute repeater
but outside of that I'd say this is probably my favorite dress watch now this is a 44 mm watch it's a large dress watch so a lot of people it just won't work for them once again because I have larger wrists this still works this is definitely not a watch you're going to see often there's definitely not many people that want to be spending this sort of money for a dress watch that like no one knows what it is and this is definitely a collector's piece but it's incredible to be able to look up the
sky and know exactly where the constellation is and where all the stars are placed and that perfectly matches your watch yeah it's just an insane complication insane watch and the last watch is a watch that has been in my rotation ever since I got it I was in love with it and even when I first started getting into rard Mill this was the watch that from day one I told him that I wanted this is a 6702 and they have a few variations of it this is the Zev I believe and this watch is so
insanely light but as you're going to see as is a theme with a lot of my other watches I like thin profile watches so this is RM this gives you that comfortability that lightness that you get with rard Mill but without you know that extra chunkiness so for example if you take it compared to the 351 just check that out you know you can see how much extra the 3501 protrudes out compared to the 6702 yeah stunning watch huh so ladies and gentlemen that is my watch collection I started collecting watches in 201 18 when
I was 18 years old I'd made my first million doll from the business and I basically had been collecting ever since and I was collecting even when it wasn't a financially smart decision when every single Watch I was buying and I was losing money on that doesn't really matter I think if you find something that you are interested in go collect obviously be sensible and most importantly buy whatever you're to I have some of my friends that have just collections of Omega speed Masters or I have friends that pretty much only wear vintage Cartiers so
whatever you're into find out what that is keep working hard and I think watches are an incredible way to reward yourself for every chapter of your life and watches are also an incredible hobby that you can share with your friends your loved ones you know all of my friends wear all my nice watches cuz I just you know I just don't have enough time to wear all of them so I would much rather they get appreciated by other people even if there are scratches or this that like these things are are made to be used
and worn so with all that being said work hard and I'm sure I'll see you with a collection like this sometime soon
