A LOOK AT MY WATCH COLLECTION (PLUS A GIVEAWAY!!)

all righty then so that's filming okay so this is Adams cameras no Adams watches take one why guys this is something different isn't it welcome to my breakfast area slash edge of my living room where I have had to create a full-blown studio because of coronavirus now obviously last week I was out in the van and I was trying to make my way back to LA we got back we're safe everything is good but now pretty much everywhere is on a full lockdown which means there are some limitations into the type of videos that I can make however that isn't gonna stop me so this week I thought I would talk to you guys a little bit about my watch collection which I have right in front of me the reason for doing this is because obviously very recently you will have seen that on the producer Michael Channel I was very Connie gifted a Jacob and Co epic X and previously to that I was gifted a lovely Panerai so basically I've been building this little watch collection which ranges from anywhere from $100 G shocks up to $18,000 Jacobs and everything in between and a lot of you have been asking me on Instagram so I figured why not show you guys so here we go let's get into it [Music] let's start with this one this one right here is an automatic 1912 which is a brand that I had never heard of and this watch is from a thrift store an antique store and I bought this because it was so ugly now it has these crazy pusher protectors or you know dial protectors whatever you want to call it this thing is built like a tank so it came on a brown leather strap originally and it looked like this weird sort of steampunk post-apocalyptic weird-looking design and I was actually very drawn to the fact that it is huge I mean across here it must be 55 millimeters its massive and then on the face you have the 24 hour time and then you have world time as well and they are adjusted by these two and so basically what you do is you just unscrew these caps and then there are your crowns so this crown adjusts the time this one is just a pull push to do the alarm this one right here does the world time in this one right here doesn't the 24-hour time and so they screw back on and kind of keep it all protected and like said I knew that I like this watch when I looked at it thought god that's horrific and then I tried it on and I was like if I put this on a really chunky bracelet this will actually be quite nice and so that's what I did and so now I absolutely love it and I've been wearing this watch more than any of them just recently I've probably worn this every day for the last two weeks the bracelet itself was pretty cheap it was $30 from Amazon really nicely made very heavy very chunky and then the watch itself only paid $75 for which I thought was a steal so all in all a hundred-dollar watch that smart to everybody's taste and I figured I would start with the one that is probably the polarizer you guys the most but I really liked it and I liked it because it's so ugly so where should we start let's start with ones that you've probably seen before so this one right here this is an ear Iturbi on now this was a producer Michael give away watch and we actually gave away one of these Michael has a diamond version of this and then I have one too and this is a really interesting watch because terbium watches obviously they're famously super expensive $100,000 or more for turbulent and then what happened is the Chinese started to make terbium movements and they made them for a very very low price point which meant that companies were able to offer terbium watches luxury terbium watches for a fraction of the cost now I love watches but I'm not a watch snob so to me at err beyond its utter beyond it looks cool it's a cool looking movement and this watch with this sort of skeletonized case that you can see through the turbulence it's right here in the bottom and then on the left-hand side we have the GMT dial so that gives me my time back in England so right now I know that it's 2 o'clock in the morning because that's what my family asked so it's always nice to know what time it is there and then we also have the Sun and Moon phase on the other side so I can see that the Sun is starting to set and we're starting to go round into 1999 time so I actually put this on this blue rubber band it came on a different strap but I thought that the blue rubber band really did make it look special with the blue hands inside and in the blue detail so yeah a very fun very affordable watch obviously it has the this sort of status of being at err beyond without having that price tag so I love this watch it's a really nice dressy watch I wearing if I go out to dinner if I'm wearing a shirt something like that it's a lovely watch to wear for those kinds of occasions they're kind of polar opposite of that is actually a new one that I've just got so new that I haven't even adjusted the strap look at the size of that I have pretty big wrists right and I don't even have to undo it to get that strap off what kind of people s force do you think of wearing your watch that have wrists like that that would be a 600 pound man that would put this on anyway this is an S force and this works thick it's so big and so heavy these really that they're nothing special in terms of their not particularly expensive they aren't that this one obviously has a dish to display in there as well as well as the regular face so has a stopwatch it has an alarm so this is basically just a really nice chunky I wanted a gold watch because I didn't have one this is sort of like a more towards of a rose gold and obviously I love my big watches so I just thought this would be a really fun watch to get obviously the the bezel moves around and it's just an absolute monster so if you want to wear a watch it's very much a street wear kind of watch I'd wear this with a white t-shirt and jeans that kind of thing and it's just enormous I mean on my wrist like I said I need to adjust this it's so funny I need to adjust this strap but you know it's it's a big watch now I do well with big watches I really struggle to wear anything smaller than like a 42 millimeter because I feel like it looks too small and this one definitely is not so this one it's a fun piece like said not expensive but I just figured that it would be interesting to have in the collection it's so big it doesn't even go in the box so let's move along let's do this one this is one that you guys are probably never seen this watch is an Autodromo group B so this here is inspired by the group B rally cars this is a limited edition watch so this one is number 127 of 200 and this one is was actually gifted to me by my friend Mike who I worked on an RPM YouTube show with and one Christmas he bought all the crew one of these each and so these are really fun because the bands you can actually change out and I didn't bring the box with me the box upstairs but basically they have all of the group B rally car liveries so I like to run the audi sport colors which is the black red and dark grey but there are all kinds of different ones and it's just a really fun what it's tiny it's so thin and it's so light as a titanium back stainless steel chassis and then a titanium bezel as well and it's just a really interesting low key watch that you know when it's on the wrist it's probably a little too small for me just because I have big hands but I do really enjoy watching this watch it's a group watching wearing this watch it's a great everyday watch and I've put a lot of hours on this thing and yeah it's just a really really fun watch and what makes it the most special is that it was given to me as a gift and so I'll always cherish that so thank you Mike I really appreciate this watch okay next up the neon yellow one now obviously you'll know that my brand colors are neon yellow and black and so this watch when I saw it was absolutely perfect and in fact the reason I bought this watch wasn't because I thought that I would like it right off the bat it was because I actually went in to buy one of these gee shucks so we'll do two G shots at the same time here so this is the G a 2100 this is called the Cassie oak and this watch is a very cheap one it's $100 and this basically became a little internet phenomenon because it looks like an offshore and an AP offshore Royal Oak with the shape of the face and the bezel on it and so it just kind of became this little cult-like pop icon and you can get them anywhere like I said there are any $100 they're not an expensive or limited edition watch but people just loved them so I managed to track one of these down while I was in the UK and I actually ordered two because they could get two in for me so the two ameno show up at the shop when I turn up to pick it up only one had arrived the other one wasn't gonna be there in time before I went back to the US so I got my money back for the second one and I bought this because I was like I probably need a neon yellow g-shock and then later on I found that once I got at home that this one is actually really interesting it's a bluetooth-enabled watch so this one has an app that connects to my old Bluetooth that connects my phone and then the app monitors my steps and all that kind of stuff so it's actually got way more features than I thought it had I just got it because I like the color so these are two really fun watches it's absolutely no secret that I am a huge g-shock fan and so yeah these two I wear a lot this one actually wore in the video where I went to Vegas with Sonya and when I went to spead Vegas to drive the trophy trucks and the Ferrari and the Lamborghini that is the watch that I wore because it's quite classy people actually recently after they saw that I got the Jakob people saw this in my picture thought this was the Jacob which I can't get that you know nice black watch for silver hands but no it's you could buy how many of these can you buy this hundred dollars that's $18,000 you guys do the maths speaking of black G shocks this is the one that started it all off this one right here is the first G shock that I ever ever got and I have absolutely beaten seven bells of bleep out of this watch and it has never let me down Michael on the producer Michael channel famously threw this on the floor when I got my Panerai and it's still going well it's not going because the batteries run out so needs a new battery but I think I've had this watch probably eight years now and they still sell them there are a hundred dollars they'll last forever they're nice and big so on the wrist it feels nice it looks great I absolutely love this watch I'll keep it forever it's kind of my my classic g-shock in the very early days of the producer Michael Channel when we were going look at expensive watches Michael would be bawling out with some blingy diamond thing and I'd be wearing this and it kind of got a little bit of a little bit of a following so I will always always be a g-shock fan and I typically wear G sharks as my daily watches because they are just so sturdy and tough and I love the look of them and they'll never let you down next up we have this pans era now this is the I think it's called the racing master I'll put link I'll put our descriptions to all of these watches so that you know they are I'll put graphics and also I will link all of them in the description so you can check them out beautiful classic looking watch on the brown leather band really really quality classy looking thing what I love about this watch and the reason it's in there racing collection is that it has a big face and it has very easy to read or very easy to read dials so when you're driving and you just want a glance that you watch there's no mistaking what time it is I really like this watch and I've worn this one a lot I actually love my Panthera watches I've been wearing them for the longest time they actually this this box in fact so Roger Cooper who is the owner of pans era watches he reached out to me very very early on into the producer Michael Channel he sent me a watch which is the next one that we'll get to and he was like look mate you know I see you around all these nice watches check this one out see what you think and here's a case as well to start off your collection and I remember when he sent me that I didn't have I think I had three or four watches two of them were G shocks and yeah it was empty and now it's filling up very nicely so Roger thank you sir I really appreciate the fact that you were there to fuel my watch addiction from the beginning and as you can see it's moved on to a pretty pretty good standard now but yet these beautiful watch is really really well priced as well and like I said my pans era's have lasted me forever I've beaten them up this one is more of a dressy watch so again this is kind of like this is a brunch watch this is the kind of watchdog where if I was going out somewhere a little bit nicer for some brunch or maybe out some drinks with friends more traditional looking smart dressy beautiful watch really loved it then on the other side of things with pans era we have this one now this one is the one that I've had for the longest it's on this beautiful rubber strap and this is like so soft and so supple and I've worn it to death so the stitching is starting to get a bit grubby I have dived in this watch I have worked on my car in this watch I have flown around the world with this watch literally I didn't take it off the probably the first three four months that I had it and you can see that the case has got scratches on it but the glass itself not scratch not a mark on there so even though there are some you know pretty pretty big scratches in the the bezel itself the glass is absolutely perfect it keeps great time and just an overall brilliant watch and I think it looks awesome and actually Panthera Panerai sound the same look kind of similar so if you walked into somewhere with this on your wrist and somebody didn't get like a proper look at it they would think this was a Panerai probably and I'm not saying that you should buy this watch because you want it to look like a Panerai but I'm saying the styling cues that have come from Panerai have definitely led to this being one of my favorite looking watches and again a great watch to wear every day it looks great on the wrist it feels nice these rubber bands are amazing in fact this blue rubber band is a Panthera band so this that I have on the era is a pans Arab and they are beautiful beautiful watches and I definitely can't recommend them highly enough so yeah I love this one Roger again thank you so much for sending this one to me way back in the day really appreciate it and my love for pans era is is as strong as it ever has been and what I want to say to you guys as well is over the coming weeks and months and years hopefully I am gonna be working with people on this channel and I just want you to know that I will absolutely never put my name to something that I don't want hundred-percent believe in trust would use you know no one's gonna pay me to put their product on this channel if I don't stand behind it ok so I just want you to know that it's early days were almost 35,000 subscribers which is amazing in five months we've done 35 thousand subscribers can't thank you guys enough and you are the best the best the metal suit the messages I get the DMS like the comments I just I really appreciate you guys I love doing these videos I love sharing the stuff that I do with you and I appreciate you so much so thank you thank you thank you and please just make sure that you support the guys that support me that's all I ask for if there's something that you see that I'm recommending you know that I stand behind it and if you choose to go and support those brands too that's awesome that's all I can ask so next one the citizen now citizen is a brand that I had no idea about I'd heard of them but I never knew kind of what they were about I never realized that they were nice watches until I put my hands on this and if you remember there was an episode that I did right in the very beginning of the channel where I started learning how to fly which unfortunately is had to go on hold because of the coronavirus thing so I will I've still absolutely I'm gonna get my pilot's license but I'm just not sure it's going to be as quickly as I first anticipated but anyway this is an aviators watch and this has buttons on here the when you press it it will actually adjust the little dial and it will tell you how high you are so here we're almost at sea level pretty much the button I've just pressed is not file titude but I've just pressed is for north-south so right now this is trying to point its way to North and it will keep moving round as I move the watch and find North which is exactly right it's over there this one does the altitude so if I push this one down here then it should still in yourself do I have to cancel that I don't know okay this one should there we go so now the big dial is moving well public safety alert beaches and trails this what saying guys beaches and trails are now closed do your part slow the speed of this deadly disease stay home this weekend and weekdays until April the 19th yeah that's it that is our official public safety lockdown okay that's fine we'll get through it we'll deal with it anyway back to the watch so this gives you your altitude as well as north/south so beautiful watch you can move the the bezel around as well and this was actually a Christmas present from Kate and tell her and I absolutely love it it's also an eco Drive which means that it gets charged through daylight so it's kind of solar-powered which is awesome I didn't even know that that was a thing but apparently as long as this thing can see a bit of sunshine every now and again it will keep going for you so I absolutely love this watch I wear this this one is kind of somewhere between like a daily watching a SmartWatch obviously also if you're flying when it's great and if I go on hikes and things and I'm going through elevation and drives especially and I want to know how high I am then this is a great watch for that obviously so yeah love this watch beautiful looking thing very industrial and rugged looking so yeah I love this one and I wear it very often so coming into the big boys now so let's start off with a watch that isn't mine well how's this for a continuity home hair I just finished the video and I realize actually it had cut right as I got to talk about this next watch so I've got to do the rest a video again oh it's so annoying this is the problem when you try and record something like this by yourself I think I hit the record limit and then it turned off but anyway let's carry on so let's move on to this Rolex and I don't remember how I just ended talking about this because I ended talking about this about 15 minutes ago and so if this isn't a very smooth segue I apologize but you know this is the best I can do this watch I think I said something like let's go and get onto a watch that isn't mind something like that okay so this isn't mine so this is a Rolex date just now this watch isn't mine this one is actually on loan to me from Virant that's a company that we did a video with for the producer Michael channel and they rent luxury watches it's kind of like a membership thing every 12 months they send you seven watches I think so this is the first one that I've had from them and I absolutely love it the only thing I would say is it's a little bit too small for me the rock this is the first Rolex that I've ever actually worn the first Rolex that I've ever been able to spend a lot of time with and there's one thing that I will say which is that on the wrist they feel special like they are a really really good looking watch this one it's just my wrist is just too big for this which is fine because I know that not everybody has monster wrists and hands like I do and this would be perfect for somebody that can get away with a more subtle low-profile watch but nevertheless it is absolutely gorgeous the blue face is stunning the bracelet just everything about it is just oozes quality and finesse and just it's a gorgeous watch and you can see why Rolex are the biggest brand in watches the biggest name in watches because they're every everything about it like when you undo the crown and dink you feel it spring out like you feel that positive click as it come out as it comes out and then when you wind it there's resist it's there it just it feels quality so did like I said there's a first Rolex that I've ever spent a lot of time with and I would definitely definitely definitely buy a Submariner deepsea right now that's a Rolex that I would spend my own money on but I've really enjoyed having this and they're actually gonna send me something new very soon I think maybe who blow which is cool cuz I've never spent time with those either so next up and this is so weird doing this twice because I've already gone into this next up is the Panerai now this is probably the most famous Panerai on the internet so I was gifted this watch by Michael and Seth at essential watches in a video and this is my very first luxury watch and I have always loved panner eyes I love how simple they are but I also love the fact they have this crown protector on them it's such a beautiful styling q it's very different and I think that's probably why I like this ugly thing because it reminds me of this you pull this little arm down and then that releases the the crown and then you can wind the watch and set the time and date there's a power reserve down here that's how you know how much juice it's got left in it and then there is a sub dial which tells you the seconds in there as well the bracelet stainless steel and titanium and this is a watch built to last now Panerai started off as military watches and then they became kind of fashion watches and I believe the original ones actually had Rolex movements so they were a Panerai case but with a Rolex movement and I would love love love love to get hold of an original vintage Panerai with a Rolex movement I think that'd be very special but I've worn this watch believe me I've worn this watch in fact I fell off my electric bike when I thought I'd broken my leg I was wearing this watch and all I did was scratched a couple of the links have just got a little scratching him but you know what I don't care and it's not because I don't care about this watch it's because I love this watch and so those types of things you know I'm wearing this watch because I want to wear around wearing this watch because I enjoy it I'm not going to put it on a pedestal and you know treat it with absolute care and all God couldn't possibly get a little scratch on it doesn't matter this watch is built to last and although yes it is an expensive luxury watch it's the kind of watch that I want to wear every day and so I do I wear this watch a lot and so yeah there's a couple of scratches in it they'll polish out it's not a big deal the watch is still working absolutely fine and that is a testament to the build quality of these things I love my Panerai I really really do and talking of watches I love now now we're on to the big one this my friends is the Jacob & Co epic X and this was a present given to me by Michael and Jacob literally three weeks ago four weeks ago we went into the shop to do a video for the producer Michael Channel and as soon as Jacob pulled this out of the box I was like gimme gimme gimme let me see that thing this watch is such an Adam watch I love the fact that you can see through it I love the fact that's got the skeletonized case I love the fact that it's all black with just a couple of little red accents on the minute and on our hands and then on the X on the epic here and then inside you you're just about be able to make it out it says Jacob and comb in red as well but it's such a subtle watch but it's so special and I just absolutely love this watch and what I like about it is that it's kind of like a bougie g-shock Jacob don't kill me but they're the same type of watch now obviously this is a lot more special but I think that's why I love it so much because it's got that same like rugged utilitarian look now this one is all rug rug rug hole rugged and utilitarian not much finesse this one is a lot of finesse with some kind of like rugged style cues but I love the fact that it's got this honeycomb rubber bands and you don't get sweaty Jacob wears his when he goes on holiday like round by the pool and stuff it's his sort of sports watch and so he actually said to me wear it use it put it through its paces and I said well look I free dives so if you were happy for me to wear it free diving then I will he said please do and send me pictures so I'm gonna wait until I go somewhere special to go free diving and then I'm gonna wear this and get some pictures of it but it just really is an absolutely gorgeous watch and what I love about it is that the balance wheel in the bottom that actually looks like a Turbie on so if you compare it to this era they have the same sort of look even though this isn't a turbo on it kind of looks like one I'm not saying you want people to think your watch is something it isn't but just the style is very nice and so yeah this is really as a beautiful watch and I absolutely love it I wear this one a lot too this one is the kind of watch way you can get tricked into thinking you should wear it every day which you should but not if you someone like me for example I had it on the other day I got showered I put it on I went to the shops I came back and I started working working in the garden and it's just about to plunge my hand into a plant pot to pull out the old soil when I kind of caught a glimpse of this on my wrist and I was like maybe I should just take it off and put on a dish or something so I did I took it off but that's the thing is that it's the kind of watch where it's very understated when you wear this thing people aren't gonna immediately look at it and be like wow what is that and that's what I like about it it isn't sheltie it isn't over the top if you know you know and if you don't then it's just too cool the can watch and that's why I'm all about because I do like the more kind of fancy watches and obviously the big blingy ones but if I'm gonna wear a watch like this every single day then I don't want it to draw too much attention and this is just an absolutely beautiful beautiful timepiece and I am so glad that I have it and weirdly it's the most expensive thing I own and that's so crazy to think that this little thing on my wrist is worth more than any other single object that I own and what that kind of got me thinking about when that became a realization is that actually the thing about watches and the beauty about collecting watches is that it isn't about the price because as much as I absolutely love this watch I love this watch to death I also love this watch and when I put this watch on and wear this I like it just as much as when I put this one on and now don't get me wrong and think what I'm saying that you know this is as special as this because it's not what I'm saying is that there are certain things there are certain enjoyments enjoy has I even a word there are certain pleasures that this gives me that this one doesn't likewise there are certain enjoyments that this gives me that this one doesn't and that goes for all of them so the point I'm trying to make here is that obviously it's very easy to look at watches and look at the expensive ones and only want those only think that you're gonna get satisfaction in owning a watch if it's super expensive and that's not the case because while I absolutely love this I also love a lot of my other watches I love all of them and so it doesn't matter if he's spending a hundred dollars or eighteen thousand dollars or a hundred thousand dollars they all have to mean something to you so if you're into watches and you are looking to build a collection whether you're a millionaire and you can afford the expensive ones or whether you have to work hard to pay for a hundred dollar watch just enjoy them and buy a watch that speaks to you put it on wear it feel how it makes you feel and how it looks and you know don't think that you've got to go for the expensive ones because you really don't I love my G shocks I love my Panerai I love my pans arrows I love everything and this is a great selection here because it ranges from a hundred to three hundred ish another three hundred six thousand I believe these Rolexes around that as well I don't know and have bought one this one's 1500 the and then 18,000 you know so it's a crib and this one's 100 bucks like it's crazy just how the variation in price doesn't necessarily reflect how much you enjoy each one of the watches so just bear that in mind guys because it's very easy to get swept up with I'll never be able to afford one of those you don't need to there is plenty out there for you to enjoy the you will love and cherish and yeah just wear the hell out of so that that's the the thing that I've taken away from now having quite a nice little collection of watches here before I forget I got something I said about
