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.

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

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.

You're right, the entire staff are huge watch nerds. Love that place. Great video. Also, saw one of your coworkers M. Preston about 6 months ago. Great guy but not a watch geek like us.
