The most expensive watches from my personal collection 

Since I keep buying watches from you, I’ve decided I should just start direct depositing a portion of my pay check to Long Island Watch lol.

The "cheapest" one appeals most to me, the Seiko looks stunning!

“Hi this is Mock…” that accent whips my head around every time 😂 we don’t have many authentic Long Islanders down here in Texas.

Really great of you to share more of your collection with us Mark. 👌😊

I looked at some used Rolex watches once at a jewelry store. I was wearing my Engineer M Pioneer Ball watch at the time. I thought they were fake when I picked them up. They felt like cheap toys with the hollow end-links. It was illuminating and disappointing at the same time. It made me feel a lot better about getting the Ball for instead of one of them. I didn’t know until now that they used to make them like that. Crazy. Thanks for all of the information. I love the videos!❤

Your Dad’s watch is my FAVORITE! Love the vertical pattern on the dial and great memories!

A very beautiful collection ! Thank you for sharing it with us !

Thanks for sharing and for all that you do for the watch community! I also have a 2006 16610 Sub, favorite of all my watches.

You collection is exquisite. I love all the blue dials Blue happens to be my fav color lots of fun watching you talk about all the watches.

When I got promoted last year I picked up an SNR049 from Japan as they were gone here in the US. It's a chonker of a watch height wise, but it definitely wears really well. I took mine off the bracelet and opted for a blue sail cloth for now. The dial is one of the best seiko dials I have in my collection and certainly the best AR coating. There have been times wearing it that I felt the crystal fell out of the watch. It's just amazing. Great collection, Mark.

Beautiful group of watches. It’s nice that you have your father’s watch. I have my father’s and grandfather’s watch and a great uncle’s pocket watch. They’re not Rolex but mean a lot to me just the same. Thanks for sharing Marc and have a great day!

Nice video, thanks for sharing. I like your yacht master the best but that Seiko is really cool.

Stunning collection Marc!!!

Love the Daytona the most. I would be happy with a SS version, but the market is crazy on them. Great collection Marc.

Incredible selection, im in love with the Daytona and the Seiko

Beautiful collection mark! Thanks for sharing

Marc love the fact you don't service unless something wrong. I totally agree ❤ That daytona is crazy heavy. I love the blue yachtmaster. It's really nice.

Nice pieces. That white gold blue dial Daytona is stunning. Love the Seiko GMT too.

Beautiful Prospex Spring Drive GMT! I have the GS 20th anniversary with the snowflake dial and never knew it did that. I’ll have to try it next time I give it some wrist time! An amazing collection of watches and the stories behind them add real flavor. Keep enjoying them and thanks for sharing!

Thanks for showing us your different watches! I think a Grand Seiko would fit nicely with that group.

I love your dad’s watch. Heirlooms are always top tier, regardless of manufacturer or monetary value. The Seiko was also a great watch, love that dial.

Great collection! I'm not really a Rolex person but when you put your dad's Datejust on your wrist it just looked special. Perhaps I'm surrounded by too many divers or because it was a little smaller but the Datejust hit a little different. Your old man had some style. Thanks for sharing the collection!

Nice collection considering the amount of pieces that you have access to I can appreciate your restraint it can be admired by all Thanks for sharing as always my friend Wheels Up My Friend and Be Well 👍

love this video, long time coming!

wow my dad has the OP date that looks exactly like that with the plain champagne dial. I'm gonna take this as a reminder to cherish all the time I spend with pops. Ty for sharing

Thanks for sharing, absolutely love the collection especially the seiko and Yatchmaster

Thanks for sharing! That is a very nice collection!

Lovely watches! Congrats Mark!

Very nice set of watches! I have a soft spot for the old Datejusts cause my first expensive watch is a 1984 2tone model. Still have it too 😁 and very comfortable to wear.

Man that Daytona is drop dead gorgeous. Love the collection

That Seiko made me drool. I'm not a fan of Rolex, but thanks for sharing Mark. You are my favorite RU-vid guy because you are so real and not into the hobby for he flex

Yacht Master 😍 Thanks for sharing Marc!

Thx for the share M. If you needed a 3 watch collection, I would take the WG DT, Sub and UN or DJ. Nice rotation u have there!

So my mom worked for a big dollar non-profit when we lived in Dallas and a retired doctor that volunteered there had a Datejust or maybe a Day Date that was extremely similar to your father's watch. Definitely two tone and had the lines on the dial. That is literally the watch that got me interested in watches. I've never owned a Rolex but do own two Omegas and previously owned another. If i were to get one, 80% chance it would be an Explorer but probably a Datejust would be the better option. Great video. It felt quite personal.

Superb collection. I am thinking of starting a watch business to get myself all these many rolexes :D

Seeing your father's old Rolex, was definitely great to see. I have my father-in-laws old Omega Speedmaster Moon watch from the early '70's. I plan on giving it to my oldest son on his birthday.

Beautiful collection Marc!

I have a date sub from the same year, prefer pre-ceramic subs as well. Thanks for sharing.

the SNR049 is my favorite! I love that watch the SNR033 is one of my grails.

I love that Mark doesn’t know and doesn’t care what a Sub goes for today. It’s refreshing to see a watch channel that just loves watches instead of the profit margins that watches can bring. You’re the man. That UN is something I’ve never seen before, I love it. That inverse cyclops is so bad@$$ and they nailed the execution. You’re the watch lover’s watch lover Mark.

I agree with the "if a'int broke, don't fix it" approach to servicing. Only times I'd go with a regular 3-5 year regular interval is with a very special vintage watch, where parts are very hard to find later on. A "preventive" service so to speak.

Marc, nice collection. I know you have many more. Ironically, I'm wearing my Islander Republic (Pepsi) while I'm watching this. I consider this watch my most affordable luxury watch. Great job!

I’ve a few Breitlings which I love but my prized watch is my dads rotary, I loved my dad dearly and to have his watch is priceless to me . Great video

thanks mark, great watches...

Love the Ulysee Nardin. 😀 Love the third Rolex with the metal bezel. 😃

love the 16013 Datejust... got the exact same one as a birthyear watch and is probably my favourite watch

The Yacht master is $12.5K give or take a bit Mark. I was actually in a mall close to your area (I believe) that had a display model exactly like yours on the weekend. Whether you will ever get one remains to be seen but that’s the price they quoted me. Keep up the good work!

I saw this video yesterday, and I can't get the Seiko out of my head. I woke up this morning and started reading about it, and just seen your other review on it. I've always wanted a Springdrive, but this Seiko ticks so many boxes for me (even though the Snowflake is drop-dead gorgeous, too). That gradient dial from blue to black looks like a gem. But, the only thing I have against Springdrive is the whole servicing deal. From what I've read, it's a bloody agony in the central bum-region and quite expensive, too. What's your thoughts, Mark? Also, thanks for all the great content you're putting out. I love that you get so up-close to the engineering end of it, and you are genuinely excited by talking about it. No wonder you're TGVs first choice for a good watch talk.

Beautiful watch collection my friend. I do agree with you that Submariner as simple as it is doesn’t fly under the radar. For this reason for my son’s birth year watch I decided to get him a 36mm explorer. In my opinion 36mm is perfect first watch and he can wear it in any occasion.

Great collection. Funny, my first "real" watch was my Dad's circa 1984 Rolex Date (smaller brother to the Datejust), two-toned with pale champagne dial, which was given to him by a dear friend and business associate, and my beloved UN Maximarine Chronometer (opaline dial with Arabic numerals) which my Wife convinced me to buy on our honeymoon in 2007. The UN has never been serviced, the Rolex was serviced once that I am aware of in 2001 and both run like fine Swiss watches! Great minds!

Beautiful collection.

I love blue watches too!

This is definitely a neat addition in the variety of the channel's content. I really enjoyed this video and wouldn't mind more of it mixed in.

Great video! I absolutely love the Seiko GMT Spring Drive. I love Titanium watches and I love faded blue to black dials. I like how the dial though is the opposite of most blue to black dials.

Incredible collection. For some reason so many of watch youtubers seem to enjoy bashing Rolex at every opportunity (perhaps it generates clicks as frustrated youngsters fume over not being able to actually buy one and pretend other brands are better) so it is great to see so many real heavy Rolex hitters. That Daytona was a surprise, was not expecting that! The way Rolex makes these watches to me is incredible.

My favorite watch in my collection is a Seiko spring drive which is from their Presage line. It's a limited edition collaboration piece done with Studio Ghibli and from the animated film Porco Rosso. It's the SNR047 limited to 500 pcs. Incredible enamel dial adorned with Porco Rosso elements. Truly a cool piece. I also have it's companion piece which is a chronograph limited to 600 pcs. I feel fortunate to have both of these unique time pieces.

Marc, I saw the Oisin podcast and liked it a lot. He can be full of himself but he was pretty down-to earth since you have no pretense - loved it! I didn’t think I wanted another Rolex, but your Yacht-Master has me re-thinking it. Ugh, here we go…

Marc: I’m not much of a Rolex guy. Also Marc: Proceeds to show majority Rolexes 😂 I’m currently waiting/saving for my first Rolex.

Thanks for sharing!

Wow, that Daytona is absolutely beautiful... I would be afraid to wear it. I looked at submariners a couple of years ago, and for what you paid, I’d spring for one - they are now about 13k and north in good condition (yours looked pristine). At the top of my collection is a Breitling Colt 44 with a blue face and a brushed SS bracelet. I love that watch, but I know it’s in a different category than your Sub and Daytona and I’m not afraid to wear it :)

Man, that's an awesome selection of watches. I'm not a huge Rolex fan but that Date Just is gorgeous ❤ My dad (just before he died in 2010) gave me an old Rado he bought when I was about 10, because he knew I would cherish it. It's only small, even though my father was a big man, and I too remember him letting me wind it🥹 Even though it's in my collection I don't count it as it's so special. BTW, I absolutely love the yellow G-Shock; what model is it? Keep up the good work😘👍

Beautiful Watch Collection

Congratulations on being able to acquire and enjoy those beautiful watches. The family pieces are true treasures. Just think, if your kids really piss you off, you can be buried with your entire collection! :))

I love the Seiko Spring Drive watch. The movement is amazing and keeps very accurate time. I love the sweep of the second hand go round and round. I wish I could afford one. This inflation has killed my buying power. I used to have a few Rolex watches, but this was before 911 happened, and in the DC area many banks would not lend money, so I lost job after job not getting fired but companies going under all over the place and I had to sell everyone but one off. I had a 1987 Datejust, an older Yachtmaster, but I kept the no date sub as it goes with everything and fits well on my small wrist. Back then I could just go to a dealer and buy them with a discount, and I think it was close to 20 percent off retail. Now they seem nearly impossible to get at MSRP, with no more discounts. They try to make you buy a bunch of junk first, and I suggest you leave the store and go elsewhere.

NIce collection! If you ever plan on selling the Seiko, I call dibs. 😁

Beautiful collection ! And interesting coming from someone who lives and breathes all things watches. Price becomes irrelevant really...Given the choice, I'd have left the Daytona on the table and grabbed the Seiko :) That's stunning..... All the best...and thanks 👍

I don’t know why I like that much that Yacht Master. Just too nice and solid.

My Rolex clasp looks the same. Gorgeous color on that Yachtmaster

Nice stuff Marc

The Seiko Spring Drive is very interesting and is a beautiful watch.

I like blue as well and my grail watch would be the H Moser Pioneer Centre Seconds with the Funky Blue dial, reference 3200-1205. Worth a look Marc.

Was hoping to see an Omega or a Grand Seiko in there. Still this is a beautiful and classy collection.

My favourite was the Yachtmaster 40. Rolex do get a lot of flak about hype, overprice and lack of movement finishing but they do make really good solid watches and this is a good example of that.

Great collection, Marc. By any chance do you service Sinn watches? BTW, I really do enjoy your approach to these watch reviews.

Beautiful. My first Rolex after I graduated in 2003 was the Sub 16610. To me, the dimensions of it are perfect. Couldn't buy a modern Rolex Sub because to me, the Maxi Dial and the Lugs are too big to feel like a sub. Plus, no way a plane jane sub is worth 10k+ lol. People are getting hosed if they are paying over 10k for a modern day sub. Now my 2nd Rolex I bought was the 18k White Gold Daytona with Arabic Numbers black dial. I bought that in 2006/7 after my first deployment. It was such a killer watch. I felt that the weight was well balanced and it just fit like a glove on my wrist. I sold it in 2020 for 30k with box and papers. No regrets but its crazy how much that model gained value in about 2 decades.

Marc, think about it- in 3 years, at 50 (for both of us)- will be a good time for a GS. That’s also how I am going to pass it with my wife. She won’t say no to a present for a momentous birthday 😉. That UN is NICE! The Seiko looks very toolish. Your father’s watch-respect! I imagine that it is your most valued watch.

- Love dads DJ for all it’s period traits, jangly bracelet, end links etc.

Lovely collection mark i was checking prices on the submariner the other day with no date it was was 7 thousand 7 hundred pounds

blue dials are my favorite too. ir seems like the vacheron constantine blue dial is the grail of blue dials but i actually like the blue on any of the casio oceanus watches. thanks for sharing. my fav from yours is the daytona of course

Very nice!

Thanks for mentioning the service history for the Submariner. I was about to ask 😅

I especially like the Seiko Spring Drive in what is almost a Marine Master case.

real nice buddy!

Beautiful! The Daytona and the Datejust are my favorites. Have you ever considered the automatic Grand Seiko GMT with the cream dial?

That two tone datejust is pretty

I agree. I dont service my watches either. To me there is no sense unless the time keeping isn't up to snuff.

I have a few that are in the luxury category as well… I never mention it… Hotel now, I suppose… I like them, but to tell you the truth, I really find the enjoyment in the bargain… The watch the punches above it’s priced here… That’s why I have Four in my collection from your brand not to mention 40+ budget Seiko, citizen, Hamilton, etc… and another 30 micro brands… And even a box full of Chinese specials… I say that as I’m wearing my omega constellation…

Thank you Marc. This reminds us how cheap Rolex bracelets were not that long ago, before the brand moved into the luxury goods market.

Awesome!

Hi Mark. Do you have a video of your full collection?

Wow - who would've thought that you were a Rolex snob! 🤣🤣 All joking aside, what a great collection that you should be proud of. I'd take the Seiko though 😉

Good video

Real nice collection Marc especially the Seiko 👍

the white gold Daytona is superb !!!!

Nice video, the Seiko is very very nice one. Also I didn't know that another guy than my wife's father also kept the protective film. 😂She always told me that it was typically asian behavior.

I've commented before that the Seiko Spring Drive GMT is my favourite. I really like power reserve meters. I'm interested in what your cheapest watch is? I'm not talking about Islanders you've taken from your own supply, but actually bought. Have you got an F-91W? 😉

nice collection

I have the non limited Edition Seiko LX. Still A beautiful dial though not as beautiful as yours. The YachtMaster will be my next Rolex. Beautiful set of watches. Your ISL-18 was the test to see if I would like the YachtMaster. Shame you didn't have the red second hand option.😊

I think I like that U-N best out of this fine selection.

I liked the first Seiko and the UN watch!
