Thanks a lot for the Casioak Max, I really appreciate it !! I'll enjoy wearing it. I'm huge fan of your channel and your content. Nice collection, beautiful watches !! Keep the videos coming !!

That IWC Spitfire is lovely. One minor correction: it's not the smallest IWC pilot. The Pilot 36 is smaller.

What a SOTC. Fantastic watches and brief descriptions. Very efficient video lol

I did not realise you "only" had 20k subs. Your videos are excellent and I am uttermost impressed with your skilful use of light in your shots. I will watch this channel grow, hope y'all have a nice one!

This was a great video. I like the new items and your collection is very aligned to my tastes. I like be the IWC Spitfire and am so blown away about how you capture it here verseus the photos I see online. It looks way better here than anywhere and suspect you did a great job of catching what it looks like in person

A fantastic watch collection! Love to see so many great watches that are generally sub 40mm. This whole channel is honestly excellent - incredible video quality and brilliant watch content. Please keep it up!

I never noticed the IWC Spitfire before, that is an awesome looking watch! Thanks for the recommendation

Just found out your channel and it’s amazing! And this collection is absolutely great. Happy to see someone who has exactly the same taste :)

Lovely collection and very varied! Mine is all about 36mm / 37mm Rolex and micro brands nowadays. The Polerouter on you is absolutely perfect for your wrist size and skin tone.

This is the best SOTH video I’ve seen. Beautiful collection. Great work!

nice watch collection! I have only started collecting watches during covid. I have the Omega Speedmaster Professional and the Tudor Black Bay 41mm. Hoping to get hold of Tudor Black Bay Pro and Omega Seamaster 300m blue dial or Omega Seamaster 300 this year.

I absolutely despise what you did to that SARB, but the rest of your collection is top shelf, well-curated and rationalized. My particular faves are the GS, Wittnauer and the Omega broad arrow.

This is my favourite compilation in YT so far, and I have seen many.

I enjoyed watching your watch pieces, good quality with meaningful substance. True...ever changing is what we do!

What a tasteful collection. As I smaller wristed person myself you've given me some new watch ambitions with these.

I really love your understated style. Every watch seems to really invite the next one in.

Pretty much a perfect collection, Max. Last addition to my modest collection was an 39mm Essence from Formex and coming next will be the cracking LE carnelian red Sinn 556. As always, the next one will be the last one, until something new grabs my attention and hits my heart and my Visa 😉

Amazing collection!! I loved this episode!! 😎🙌

Love the thought process that went into your collection. Some watches are more to my liking than others. But that’s understandable I myself prefer smaller quantities, so it’s an entirely different approach to begin with. Love the iwc! Love the broad arrow! Love the Breitling (it may be my personal favorite in your collection) The Rolex is very nice. Perhaps consider a fancier dress piece in precious metal, it’s an bsolute bargain genre

The Wittnauer 😍 your has a stunning dial condition. I always wanted to buy a Longines reissue but it is so big and finding a Wittnauer in a good condition is very time or cost consuming. Congrats to this beauty!

You are the first watch collector on the internet which has a taste that I like. I would buy the same watches if I had the money.

Awesome collection! Would love to know more on how you created your Mod for the Seiko SKX. I have one and I think I’d be curious to do the same to mine. If you have a DIY video or links to how to order the parts, please let me know. Could be a great video!

I can’t describe it. But the Buckley dial is perfect!

Good collection Max. The IWC is my favourite of you're collection.

That is a superb well thought out collection. Well done.

Incredible collection, outstanding taste!

Cheers M! Great SOTC as it was, that Buckley dial is killer no matter what. Some great pieces you have and can't wait to see what is next. Later

Man I'm absolutely in love with your Grey dial Grand Seiko....😍

I also love the Spitfire, I feel that you would love a Seiko Pogue reissue. Very cool collection!.

Maybe the best collection I've ever seen, no boring super-expensive standards, well chosen best design variants within the respective model line, very good cost/performance ratio, competent and humble presentation, not Tristano-esque 😉👍🏻

I think I've just witnessed a WatchTube first here Max, someone showing their Genta designed watch without mentioning him once 😂That's what I call a collection, every watch was superb.

Beautiful timepieces - especially the vintage Wittnauer & Wakmann in excellent condition.

I'm surprised that you chose both grey Grand Seiko and grey Tudor. They look awesome and the full gray look fits everything, but personally I'd probably go for some more colour on one of them. Still, amazing collection, definitely something to hope for in the future :)

Great to see watches from the likes of Wakmann and Wittnauer. You haven’t just gone after the obvious Rolex models, very cool and original collection! Keep the great content coming in 👍

Ive added 3 Nomos watches. 38.5mm club datum a 35mm Orion and a 35mm Tangente blue dial all 3 picked up at around $800 usd each.

As watch geeks it's AAAALWAYS EVER CHANGING isn't it?! ;)

The Spitfire is a really nice watch. Sometimes I think about getting this watch instead of the Explorer. Because you just don't get one. Even if they are fundamentally different watches, they have the tool character in common. Overall a really nice watch collection. Greetings!

I like the Tudor; I have a BB GMT and Tudor's BB line are all fantastic. Good choice!

Flavor for the wrist - yummy time pieces! Bravo!

a delightful collection. really like the Spitfire, was not aware of this watch before

A great collection! Thank you for sharing!

Amazing and diverse collection, congrats. The one that gives me 'feels' is the Navitimer 92, absolutely perfect size and that dial is gorgeous. I have a UG Polerouter Date, gold capped, and love it. I'm trying to find a gold BoR bracelet for it, if I can find one it would definitely get more wrist time. If you could only keep three watches, which ones would you never let go? Cheers.

You single handedly won me over with smaller sizes on both the speedy and the navitimer. Perfetto. Now, let's add a green and a salmon dial! :D

loving the strapcode canvas on the iwc

Interesting! The Wakmann reminds me a lot of an Omega Seamaster from the late 60s. For example a 145.006-66 Nice piece indeed

Awesome collection, Max! Glad to see the Winter has stuck around for you! If your SOTC changes again in the future, and you're looking to move it...*ahem ahem* ;) Also, we have the same watchbox! Haha.

Awesome collection Max! The Wittnauer may be my favorite from the bunch

Very unique collection. Love it!

Love your collection. I am sure the 36 id perfect for you. At first you might find it too small but it will grow on you and become your main watch. Trust me 😉

That Sarb mod had me drooling! Wow

Great collection!!!...when will the App be ready for watchcrunch? The web interface if fine, but not terribly easy to navigate. Love the idea of a SOTC section.

Great 38mm explorer alternative is a omega Railmaster. Nice collection

Love the straps you go with. Where do you suggest the best place to shop for them?

Wow that modded seiko “explorer”. In the search for a 38mm type explorer I settled on a traska summitier. Recommend 10/10!

Nice video Max, much apreciated. Q: Behind you on the wall could be a Speedmaster dial poster? Thx

The iwc and grand seiko are the best looking watches in your collection, good well balanced collection.

I have Wristbergers!!! hahaha. But I was disappointed to find you weren't talking about burgers. ;)

I love your on modded watch, fantastic 🙌🏽

Interesting collection... I like the diversity in it. Enjoy it in good health 👍.

Awesome collection!

beautiful collection

Absolutely love the explorer 1 broad arrow mod. It s a perfect combination

That SARB033 mod looks cool. Only thing that really bugs me with my SARB035 is the date feature. I could live without a date since I wear the watch mostly on weekends. Would not mod it though...it would annoy me to know that it has a running date mechanism just hidden under a new dial :D

lovely collection

great collection. only thing missing is a Casio as you have all the other bases covered.

Max, only 2 mods?! I don’t believe that for a second 😁. Per usual, I was building my latest mod (62MAS x Submariner) listening to your SOTC on loop. Thanks for the vid . . . and for WatchCrunch. I’ve joined but have yet to flesh out my profile. Take care!

Another great video! Like all your Chronographs!

Great videos, bravo. One question, I have a Seiko The bezel is not accurate. I am a watch lover and I can't stop looking at them

Stumbled over you channel - looks good. I’m gonna hang around.

Sweet, tasteful and well thought out! SARB/Explorer- what a great marriage 👌

The WAKMANN has an Omega bracelet clasp. Maybe the whole bracelet who knows? It wasn't mentioned. It was my favorite of your collection. I enjoy sports/tool chronographs the best. Cheers from Miami.

Oooh I think he has the longines heritage diver. I’ve been looking at that or the hydro conquest or the master collection

Really loving this collection!

If you ever want to unload the ‘57 Speedmaster, let me know. That said, with the modern Pro no longer featured it appears you let it go so the Trilogy version could stick around. Great collection, btw. Just started following a guy on IG who specializes in Seiko mods. I’m guessing that route or pocket watches are the best ways to play around without causing too much damage, no?

Oooo, I ddn't know about the Navitimer 92 and I love the 38mm size and blue dial.

Where does this strap came from? Looks incredible on the spitfire!

I love the gray straps on gs. How did you get that?

Ohh I'm curious about the display case you use to store your watches? It looks nice, can I ask you what it is?

Great collection, man! My favorite is the Spitfire. Cheers!

what's that strap on the GS Winter? I dig it and have been looking for a good leather strap

Utterly love where this is at… where each piece is considered and has a bit of you / your personality / your preferences in its story. I really don’t think I’ll ever buy a speedy, but if I do - it’d be something close to that one. So many references are just sterile and soulless. The case shape on that Wakkman chrono is stellar too… *headsovertochrono24 Thanks for the update big man. Have a gorgeous Sunday!

What strap does he have for that GS?? It’s awesome

Max.... That's a whole lot of awesome stuff you have 😍😍

What a great channel! Nice collection!

That’s a beautiful collection Max 👏

I also believe the Explorer would look great at 37.5 mm, split between the classic 36 & contemporary 39. & concur that a Tudor Ranger is more likely to show up there before the Crown.

Really nice collection 👌

Great collection

Thanks a lot for that one!

What do you think about the endurance pro breitling

Not a big fan of chronographs but if I could have any watch collection then the GS and that date just would definitely be in it but I would swap the bb58 for a pelagos fxd. I'm doing something similar to the sarb mod but with a crown at 4 case

Hi Max, KiwiSeiko checking in you got a great collection going on. Keep well from NZ

its never ready !!!

Cool video I noticed a difference in voice pace or tone or something I’m not sure. My point is you really care about these watches and you can tell by the feel of the video. Ps. You’re missing out on Game of Thrones! Suggestion: Watch House of Dragon that just came out and see if you like it

I LUV that Seiko mod!!

What a beautiful collection.

I’ll have to check out watchcrunch later! But man… if only they made the Spitfire without a date. I like their new Big Pilot watch, but still way too big for my wrists 😅

I have wristbergers!!! Omg and it’s bad!!! Lol so funny . Glad I found this !

Nice overall collection but WTF did you do with that classic SARB033? That's one watch that didn't need any kind of modding except yes change the original bracelet. As a fellow 033 owner I am very disappointed.
