We're coming to the end of the year which means it's time for the annual state of the collection video. So sit back and enjoy the best affordable watch collection you have ever seen and marvel at my superior taste and style. I apologise in advance for the smudges and fingerprints, the lighting really showed them up.

Fantastic SOTC. This reminded me to add you to my recommended watch channel list! OMG, that Rotary just stole the show for me. Absolutely pure class. LOVE that Zeppelin!! That Seiko Dolce too. The Tissot is gorgeous. Keep up the great work, onwards, upwards and best regards. TGV

@thewholecut 6 ай бұрын

Thanks TGV! You are too kind! I really appreciate it. I think you can take the credit for the Rotary and Zeppelin as I first saw those in your videos and I only became aware of the Seiko Dolce line after you bought that tank style Seiko Dolce. I guess you could say I’m a big fan lol. Cheers, Louis.

I also love the Rotary piece. I have the same kind with black inner circle from Rotary (with a tuxedo vibe). I love that piece. Overall a really awesome collection!!!

Ah yes I was torn between the two, both look fantastic, but then this one popped up on eBay for less than half the retail price so my mind was made up for me. Thank you for your kind words!

Problem solved then. ;) The form factor of that watch is out of the park, isn’t it? Thin case and small size is the perfect fit for the wrist. Feels really good when it’s on the wrist.

Hello, and thanks fot this SOTC vid! I prefer mechanical than quartz watches but you have some nice onces (The Art Deco Rotary for example). About mechanical onces, we are sharing two watches (the 1963 and the Scuba Dude). And I would have loved to share the Venezianico Ultra Black with you too, but sadly it is no longer produced for now. I also really like two other watches : Of course the Marlin, especially with this mesh bracelet, and the so beautiful Presage "Matcha".

@thewholecut 6 ай бұрын

Thank you! I'm sure Venezianico will be making more so it might be worth dropping messaging them to find out when it will be available again :)

Beautiful collection! I'm glad I discovered your channel. I also have slim wrists (6.5") and a love for elegant pieces. Did you mention in any of your videos what your wrist size is? I suppose it is close to mine.

Nice collection i am at 26 watches and have stopped collecting. Have enough variety. None of my watches surpass $600 most are sub $100. Prefer a good high quality value variety than few expensive watches as well.

@thewholecut 3 ай бұрын

Thanks! I think I prefer having a lot of affordables too! Lots of choice and less anxious about them getting damaged or lost/stolen. Cheers!

Trust me, owning a Rolex GMT gives you more happiness than any less expensive watches ever could. You pay the price but it's worth every penny. Hopefully you can buy a Concorde one day.

When I see an expensive watch two things, look at me or steal me. What’s really funny it doesn’t matter how much the fucker costs it has the same purpose to tell the time……….

@voroshilov3916 4 ай бұрын

@@tooxtalivai0690 Nope. I never bought an expensive watch for a look at me, considering it has a scratch on every corner of its cases. Also if you just want to tell the time rather than apprentice someone's craftsmanship then don't buy a watch, look at the clock on your phone.
