***Important Note***
I really enjoy watches and that's why I started this channel so I could review them regularly but my satisfaction is not found in owning or experiencing watches, no matter how many I may accumulate or how luxurious and expensive they may be . . .

Wise King Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 5:10 "He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity."

The truth is, material possessions of any kind, money, power, etc. never can and never will satisfy our hungering souls. Only knowing, loving, and serving God can truly satisfy.
The only way we can have a real relationship with God, the Creator of the Universe, is through the Lord Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6
Through Christ's sacrificial death on the cross, for my sins and your sins, and His resurrection from the dead we can have peace with God (Romans 5:1), forgiveness of sins (Acts 10.43), eternal life (John 3:16), and so much more!
In Christ, we can know true joy now and for all eternity.

"He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." - 1 John 5:12

The Santos was like: “What the heck am I doing in this place?”

I collect watches that please me. I really don't show mine or ask people what they think about them. Your channel rocks. Glad I subscribed. I look forward to each new one.

I love SOTC videos!! I used to think collections without vivid colors were boring, and I’ve owned many colorful dials. However, they don’t tend to stay in the collection. I think white, black and blue dials are just more versatile and practical. I like your collection, I don’t think it’s boring.

[MaroMarenio]

You should add that Baltic watch 👍
Cartier Santos is on another level 🤔

Thanks for the shoutout bro. Glad you are enjoying it. You are welcome. You rock it well my friend. 🙏🏻

I think you have a solid collection. i do agree with some comments that there could be a pop of color out there (especially if you tend to lean toward more casual attire). I do find that Zelos has a fair amount of dial color variation what isn't so vibrant that it overshadows the watch or looks like you're wearing a neon sign on your wrist.
a few out of the box ideas that could punch things up a little come from Hamilton
1. the Hamilton Ventura - aka the Elvis watch. it's triangle shape does make telling the time a touch difficult & it's probably not an every day wearer. However, it certainly looks cool & catches some attention.
2. The Hamilton PSR - it's a little pricey for a quartz watch & it's a bit polarizing. but it's got roots in history (as a re-issue of the Pulsar - which was the 1st ever digital display watch Bond (Roger Moore) wore one in the movie LIve & Let Die. so if you're a James Bond Fan. that's a little added fun.

the third. is a Fleiger watch from a company called Dekla. it's a German company that offers tons of optionality (case can be Full Brush, FUll Polish, Full Bead Blasted OR a a combo you can pick dial configuration (type A or B), Dial Color (Black or sunburst blue ) , hands (silver, guild, or heated blue), & lume (old radium or white) along w/ getting authentic serial number engravings on the side (if desired). I've found that they can be quite versatile & they wear well (Fleiger watches in general)

but in all seriousness. You've got most of the bases covered (grab and Go's, tool watches, some dressier pieces, a retro watch, some sentimental pieces & a kick A$$ Cartier. so unless you like more modern divers. outside of adding some color & maybe differentiating your Chronos (to be less Panda & Panda) good overall collection

Beautiful collection! There is no better watch than the watch you can afford. My collection has 5 citizen 1 seiko 2 casio 1 fossil. So far Citizen is the favorite brand that I can afford.

[DavidSchwartzjr]

Pretty cool mix of pieces that each serve their purposes and you can see they definitely get wrist time! You just made me realize I need to drop a SOTC vid myself, brother! I absolutely love the story behind your Santos. 😎🍻🙌

[timelesssneakersandwatches]

Awesome collection bud! Nothing wrong with your collection, they're all pieces you love(d)or at one point spoke to you. The beauty of this hobby is you're always evolving as a collector and taste/likes always change. Enjoy your collection 🍻

[dalerichardson]

I think it is fine Josh, you can change it up with different styles and colours of straps, black divers look great with an orange rubber waffle.

[Bulldog]

1st time watcher and now a sub. Your collection is great. It's in a state of metamorphosis which is really cool. Keep up the great work.

[juniorjohnson]

I'm surprised you have as many Quartz pieces as you have. Thanks for showing us !

[the_ent]

Great collection, Josh. I think you have an interesting and varied number of watches. That Cartier is the jewel in the crown ❤️

[davejarvis]

Nice mix of watches there bud, that's the beauty of watch collecting its whatever floats your boat regardless of what others think 👍

[marcelovasconcellos]

Great collection! Don't think it's boring or bland, but add some color, a green or blue dial, maybe even a gold tone watch. My collection are all three-handers (from dressy to casual and sporty) and LCD digitals, no chronos, fliegers or divers (and that won't change as I don't care for them) or field watches (though that will change, hopefully soon, as I'm drawn to them). Collect what calls out to you. Though I respect those who collect by checking boxes (dress - check, diver - check, etc.), it wouldn't bring joy to me.

As to the double Citizens, you should keep one as I think you'll probably miss it after they're gone.

The Cartier and the story of how you got it are awesome. Looking forward to the Baltic and Timex reviews.

[TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

The collection is looking really good Josh. Thanks!

[yoinkhaha]

Love that 94 culture chronograph. I actually really dug the Ball pocket watch too. Not too bland! I'd add a diver... timing bezels are super functional. And with a collection like this I am always surprised at a lack of any Seiko... they make a fair amount of "meh, another Seiko" stuff, but occasionally they hit on something that's just totally great.
Dope collection!

[nevamindt]

It's good as a 6-7 out of 10 👍🏾
Yours costs much more than mine, I have 1 each from different brands; e.g. 1x Argenti, 1x Citizen, 1x Adina, 1x Edifice Honda Racing 2020 Limited Edition all with different colours, feel, textures, bands/bracelets, dress, casual, sporting etc.
I suggest variety may "spice" up your collection up 🤔
Thanks for sharing mate! 👌🏾 🖤

[LymanPhillips]

I'm going to go with the rest of the folks, you need a blue dial and a Seiko. And something with a diver bezel - I find those very useful.

You could also add a military style field watch like a Hamilton Khaki or a Bulova Hack.

I like your paint splattered asio - I think it has a lot of personality.

I think this is a nice collection with a lot of watches one doesn't see a lot.

[LambdaHalbe]

The Casio ProTrek definitely gained an interesting look by the paint sparkles - looks better than before. Wondering why Casio doesn't sell them like your's. Nice interessting collection, thank you for sharing. I would keep the Ball pocket watch and at least one of the two though Citizen.
