They let me loose at the Seattle TimeWorks store. A new watch store staffed by watch enthusiasts. So I challenged my AD to a contest to see who can build a better 4-watch collection.

I was there in May and I can say the staff were watch people. I wore a vintage Omega watch and it was a pleasure discussing a wide range of watches.

Any watch video Kevin is in, it exudes snobbery. Gives the watch community a bad reputation. Thats why i really enjoy your content. No snobbery at all, just love for watches. Keep it up my man. Created an account on WC a couple months ago and i absolutely love the app. Ive learned so much. Keep going!

I agree, I would have to pick the store guy's collection 1)IWC Mark XX 2) Grand Seiko SBGE285 3) Casio Mudmaster and 4) Longines Flagship. Btw- I learned something in this video. It appears the IWC Mark XX (green dial) is now available at ADs (versus a boutique item only). This must have just happened.

The store worker won for sure. The red Casio wtf - fashion nightmare. The Grand Seiko dress piece has a ghastly maroon strap and just looks bad. The Hamilton has a ghastly greenish fungus color and the speedmaster with its sunken hand-wound crown is completely unusable from a practical standpoint. Chad store worker vs virgin WatchCrunch
@khazelnut Жыл бұрын
I think having something out of left field makes it more interesting. If everybody's collećtions are just mute and conventional it's gonna be fairly boring. If I see someone has a speedmaster or Rolex sub, I wouldn't look twice because that's always the safest choice.

Great video Max. This Shop is 5 minutes from my house which is trouble. I almost left there 2 weeks ago with the Longines GMT and the GS SBGA413 Four seasons Spring Dial in pink.
