Our Ultimate 3 Watch Collection 

Adrian has my vote, his choices are great. Clearly a chap of class with superb taste.

For me Andrew, hands down. A very stylish, practical and functional collection. All bases covered.

George gets my vote for choosing Zenith and wearing pink trainers

My 3 watch collection would be: - A.Lange & Söhne: Tourbograph Perpetual (Pour le Mérite) -Girard-Perregaux: Laureato Ghost (Absolute grail watch for me) -Bremont: Waterman Apex (With braclet)

I do not know what it is but the in studio energy is top notch and way more entertaining

I'm surprised George didn't put the IWC Ingenieur on his pick, but still the Trilobe takes the cake, W for George

For me George is the clear winner. That Zenith is the only watch that remotely suits my taste, but gold or was it rose gold. Not my thing until the day I turn 100. Andrew comes in second, but a vintage Rolex? Old boring? The FP was interesting and the Lange, although too old-fashioned for my taste is unique. I’m here for more compelling side conversations. Adrian buys watches he doesn’t wear, card he doesn’t drive, and pants he doesn’t wear. The Winny the Pio of the watch world Sorted. All that said Adrian is beyond likeable. There was also a focus on the mechanical side and the obsession with impressing others ar watch meetups. For me it’s more wearing watches I LOVE and while a couple of mine are limited editions that’s not why I love them. Very entertaining show as always.

i was anticipating Adrian to choose the Vacheron Dual Time Everest as it is really a unobtanable dream watch that he raved about on his channel... My vote goes to Andrew, love the vintage 1680 sub and the Lange as well as Journe are masterpieces you can never get bored of, As well as great conversation starter pieces

Marcus was cruel for that highlight on Adrian’s pen flicking skills 😂 18:00

My 3 watch collection 1) 116610ln Submariner 2) Datejust41 azzuro blue dial 3) Santos de Cartier 2 tone large and additional cartier black alligator black alligator strap.

Have to go with George. He’s got 2/3 absolutely correct Trilobe and AP diver. Not sure on the Zenith, I think there are better flashy chronos out there.

Andrew handsdown except the Lange I would have done the minutes repeater version.

This trio is quickly becoming the Top Gear of watches. Loving it! Andrew wins this one for me.

I don’t think my tastes have ever aligned with George before, but he crushed this three watch collection. I’d probably go with a different AP Offshore, but some amazing choices.

I’m so confused about what’s happened to the podcast. Every new episode on Apple Podcasts says payment is required to listen?

My vote for Mr Adrian (although I would go for the Zeitwerk). Loved the Bremont-Barford thingy

Love this stuff! Has anyone of you seen the TRIWA SUB OCEANIC PLASTIC? A "dive" watch made from plastic out of the ocean. I thought it was kinda cool.

Yeah I think that Adrian would’ve had my vote until he said he wouldn’t wear the Lange. That’s an automatic disqualification, lol. So Andrew is my winner because he is closest to what I’d pick. My 3 watches 1. Cartier Santos de Cartier, Large, Yellow Gold (for the history/heritage) 2. Rolex GMT Master II, Steel Jubilee, Pepsi (class leading sports watch) 3. FP Journe, Octa Calendrier, 38mm, Platinum (Journe is top notch finishing for dress category)

George with that Zenith 👌🏼

tough one... i would go for george if it was not for the Trilobe... love the zenith & AP.. adrew - love that FINALY vintage.. it was about effing time, someone brought that up! but I just do not get the f.p.journe (yet) adrian - all those i do love.. so I have to give the extra point to Adrian..

George is right about the Zenith. Actually Andrew's watches choice is very good.

Why not a 3-in-1 watch? I treat my C. Santos large as such, daily = bracelet, sporty weekend = rubber and i bought its 21mm croco strap for the dressy.

To skip to the 3 collection Watches, It starts here 6:38 with Adrien Barker.

My buddy tried on the a Lange perpetual calendar tourbilion moonphase all in one watch. $650k lol. But going straight to a museum in Germany. Crazy shit.

My vote definitely goes to Adrian 3 unreal watches and a compete collection

There’s a perfect 3 in those 9. Played to type; Adrian safe (boring?) and good taste, George passionate and unusual, Andrew mass appeal yet somehow diverse. Great episode

Adrian won if in my view. Pepsi on Jubilee is my daily and I love it. Only issue I have is that he wouldn’t use his Lange… all watches (bikes and cars) are meant to be used.

Hey guys, love the show. I honestly think that you have created the 3 watch lover collection based on 3 characters. Adrian, the gent collection. Horological sass. George, the FU watch lover. Watch me do this. Andrew, the Kurt Cobain. Grunge. All are absolutely beautiful.

Adrian’s all day long. Love all 3 and I’d definitely wear the Lange! What a piece of art! 👌

Adrian won. The Chronomaster Sport is really fine, but I guess it's I like it more in steel. The Langes are cool watches. I don't like the quartz... Andrews collection is balanced, elegant and shows good taste.

Mr Bamford, you’ve got it. Must be the winner! 37:22

Adrian wins it for me. George close second. Andrew, last by miles.

1:44 the chalenge is: seiko presage 60's style !! ;) / u can't compete with 9:28 A Lang & Sohne !!

Adrian won, versatile collection. But agreed gotta wear that A Lange to do it justice

Andrew wins in for me! That FPJ is class.

Andrew, your collection is pure class

I love the FP Journe (I expected to see one) but why in the world is the seconds hand misaligned

I pick Andrew's collection as it's the three watches I would see myself wearing compared to the others. That F P journe is crazy and I would love wearing it.

Guys, you are ruining me. My study and job have suffered because I've just been watching About Effing Time constantly! Honestly guys, you fucking ROCK! This video showed up in my feed 4 days ago and since then I've binged every single video you guys have put out. Massive respect to you and the team for the top-notch quality right from the first episode; I effing love it! Keep 'em coming boys, you've got a new loyal viewer here in The Netherlands :) I do have a question. As a 23 year old student I love hearing/learning about these incredible watches. However, because I am a student, these watches are rare-itaninium for me, at least for the next few years. Could you do an episode for us youngsters at the bottom of the ladder of life? Perhaps a challenge to see who can find the best second hand pick-up for under 500, 750 or 1000? You guys don't need me to come up with an idea for you, but something like that would be splentacular! Again, much love, keep being fucking awesome, and I look forward to the future of this thing

Without question, George is the winner. Even if I’m partial to the VC American 1921.

Adrian is the clear winner and I would wear all three of them

Super Fun Video! Thanks Gentlemen!

Would love to see your top 3 watches in your own personal collection next.

The Vacheron wins for me… coz it’s also my grail. Soz Andrew and George.

I'm tempted to say Adrian won if only for the VC, but Andrew had the best choices as a set.

I win: platinum Daytona; AP Royal Oak 15500; Patek World time. Of you 3: Andrew, who I thought would win - DQ’d for cheating. Good F’ing luck finding that Sub - pictures don’t count. George wins: 1 and 3 were F’ing home runs - awesome selections esp the rose gold Zenith; 2 is ‘out there’ but respect the selection. Capt Boring - a boring Rolex and 2 that are too similar. Do like the VC choice.

Everyone had bangers, but not a perfect collection. If I had to pick one collection it has to be Andrew. I daily a GMT master II on Jubilee… the scratches all tell a story. Yolo

Hell yeah guys, made my morning with the video drop!

My three watch would be the vacheron from Adrian's collection for dress my black bay pro for tool and my flex would be the mighty mighty grand Seiko kodo constant force tourbillion

TEAM ANDREW! He got the Lange I dream about and the Journe I didn't know I needed until today. The rationale behind the sub made sense to me. I relate to these the most. Sorry, not sorry. Fun ep!

1995 rolex coke gmt, tag heuer V4 platinum & JLC reverso duo green

Nuts - I missed your vid live again! Damn it..... Hello from Kansas City USA gentlemen. Great work and very entertaining as always. Just three watches in a collection????? I should be so disciplined. That would really be "sanity over vanity" - George Bamford... I have already purchased at least four new watches within the last several months just based on AET "what's on your wrist" segments. The highlights - a new Tissot because of Marcus - a Longines "Big Eye" because of Andrew - an Oris Kermit based on Adrian's passion for what this watch represents and finally - my first Tag Heuer because of George! (drink time!!!) That would not be a bad four watch collection would it????? Thanks men - love your work. Best to you all. Elton

Team boring for me - Adrian's choice is very wearable (i would totally wear the A. Lange & Söhne tho).

George surprised me with 2nd and 3rd choices, amd not in a good way. I like Andrew's brands, except I can't get on board with rolex in the 3 watch collection with unlimited budget. Id also het a Lange and FPJ and probably a VC but different models. Twin beat VC, Chronometre Resonance from FPJ and Triple split from Lange

Adrian! Great episode.

Damn, everyone here has a winning piece! (1) 1680 sub or Pepsi , (2) Trilobe and (3) Elegante.

I'm a bit boring too then because Adrian's collection is the best out of the three in my opinion.

Adrian- 1st *Winner* 🎉 Andrew- 2nd *So close but went more boring than the Captain with the red Sub.* 😢 George- 3rd *Nobody liked that particular Zenith or RO* not sure how he won… 😂

I vote for Adrian (almost by default). I like Andrew’s collection but he definitely cheated. I didn’t like George’s collection- I love the Zenith, but find the other two pieces absolutely unwearable. I really appreciated the first two choices from Adrian and the Lange wasn’t bad, just boring given the other two choices. I would replace it with one of the ultra expensive JLC Reverso limited edition models or perhaps come out of left field with an ACTUAL tool watch from Garmin.

Andrews collection is my favorite, despite the Submariner Red which should not be admissible to this competition.

Adrian Barker. Honourable mention to the FPJ

George is honest but Adrian won this hands down.

Adrian win because he is honest about why he choose the watches

Andrew won. By far!

Adrian is the only person that's not incredibly annoying

Adrian just class

Other than the A lange Sohne example, I found the rest of the collection choices to be: meh. Even the Journe was the not the what he did best in my POV. I would have thought coming from watch enthusiasts we would have heard more about high horology. If money was no object I can't see how some brands that are at the top of their art would be missed: Gronefeld, Gruebel and Forsey, P. Dufour, R. Smith, MB&F, Andersen, De Bethune, Romain Gauthier, Vianney Halter... It would be great to hear about those brands once in a while, showing the craftsmanship of theis high horology. At least for me if money was not object it is where I would look for but i understand if it doesn't resonate as much with the audience. Anyway, the exercise is always fun to watch including the banter.

Captain boring for the win 🎉

My ultimate 3 watch collection. My JC Deepsea, Omega 300m Pro (black on mesh), Tudor Opaline Dial GMT... I'm insecure. It's ok to say so...

Top Gear for watches. Fantastic mutual interaction and super entertaining.

Watching since episode 1! Keep up the work! These studio videos are amazing. Also, will the little watch travel boxes be back on the shop?

While Adrian has my vote, I love that both George and Andrew had variety in the way time was shown. I feel like the new AP Starwheel would have been a great wildcard to spice it up a bit. 🎉

The winner has to be Andrew. And I'm not even counting the vintage sub. The Lange and Journe win just as a duo!

I love Andrew’s list the best but Adrian’s list is what is most relatable and can achieve.

To me, this is a no-brainer. Andrew clearly won the 3 watch collection. A. Lange & Sohne? F. P. Journey? Come on! NOTHING can compete with those two. The only choice I disagree with is the red Submariner. I would have thrown in an H. Moser instead. Specifically, the Streamlined tourbillon vantablack in red gold. I also would have chosen the A Lange in white gold. One rose gold watch is enough for "bling factor".

Adrian won my vote. VC and Pepsi are on my buy list, and the double split is just gorgeous.

1) do it all watch - G Shock (5600 ideally!) or a diver e.g an older Seamaster 2254.50 2) daily versatile watch - e.g. Omega Aqua Terra / Railmaster / De Ville / Rolex Explorer 36mm 3) elegant dress watch e.g. JLC reverso, a vintage Omega P.s. oops I made this comment before watching the video... the above is my realistic collection, but using the concept of this video, my choices would be very different

Booo Apple Watch boooo

I would make my OWN collection with Adrian's Pepsi (it really pops as a daily wear), George's Offshore (hard to imagine life without a chunky diver) , and Andrew's FP Journe as a dress watch (I actually love quartz and Journe's interpretation of it is magical). And together they give me: mainstream luxury, holy trinity, and avant garde independant! Thanks guys for a great show!

like the AP, the historique 1921 a lot, and the elegante , so a bit from everyone.

3 great collections but Andrews collection is sublime

Adrian is the clear winner for me. Not a perfect collection, but for the Everyman: it’s the best one. Love this concept guys! Next time please use a price limit. I think it adds an element to the choices. Love you guys!!!!

Sorry, guys, but Andrew is far and away the winner. A phenomenal tool for every occasion. If I had his collection I could retire from buying watches.

Adrian has the most balanced selection, though I really do like that Trilobe that was on George's list....amazing way to display time!

My 3 would be: 1. Rolex Yachtmaster 40 - Rhodium 2. F.P. Journe Chronometre Bleu 3. Zenith Chronomaster Sport

Awesome video team! My three collection would be: Longines Master Collection mood phase triple date Tag Heuer Grand Carrera caliber 6 (George have a Drink) Seiko flightmaster sna411 😊😊

Without a pricelimit these "collections" melt down to a being a watch museum. I get the 1680 Sub although for me it would have to be a Tudor 7021/0 red date. Same goes for the VC and the Zenith if it wasn't gold because that's garish. So for me, you're all winners but George gets an extra bonus point for his trainers!

my votes go for George mainly for the Zenith full rose gold.

That Zenith was beautiful in the B roll. Absolute stunner and I agree with owning something similar to the Rolex but does it in its own way to be different and doesn't skimp on quality.

I think you all made some great choices, and a number of howlers. Eejits. Anyway, I am afraid I have to go with Adrian (@BarkandJack) this time, although I wouldn't have the Pepsi GMT, and I would absolutely wear his third choice. Andrew, had you had the Norqain as your third, you might have pipped it. George, the Zenith was a great choice, but you lost me with the AP.

Adrian wins. Check out these; Hajime Asaoka Chronograph, Gronefeld 1941 Gronograaf, Kikuchi Nakagawa Murakumo black dial.

George won by far. I’d rock all three happily (although I’d like to be scratched by a Zeitwerk). Let’s be clear. Cars are meant to be driven, watches are meant to be worn. Safe queens are a waste of creator’s talents.

Adrian wants to put the beautiful A. Lange & Sohne watch with a frame on the wall and not wear it.....WHY? Frame it on your wrist already No safety deposit box watches please

adrian wins if he wears the Lange. Otherwise they all lost

Adrian's won in my opinion! That right there is a dream collection for me!

Easy-peasy. A B2100 Solar in white. A 1016 Vintage Rolex Explorer & a GS Mechanical Manual Winding.

Let’s play my favorite Sunday game…how long will it take me to watch an episode of AFT…I need less busy Sundays.

Ultimate collections that don’t include a perpetual calendar or anything from Dufour/Roger Smith or similar? Dream bigger guys!

Guys, can you please list information on the watches that appeared in this video. George, that AP is killer! Much appreciated, B.

Of those I Iike George's approach but I'd have different watches. An everyday, A dress, Something strange.
