This is a highly entertaining video by one of my favorite YouTubers. He is also a member of this forum. If you go to 18:40 or so you will hear him talk about the differences between Omega and Rolex forums, which is kinda hilarious.

Great video, thanks for sharing

This guy makes some great and thoughtful categorizations.

I started out as a Flipper. Now I see myself as more of a “one watch-box” type - keeping a core collection of a few watches and tweak it slightly over time. At the same time, I qualify for the Watch Nerd type, since I have a couple dozen toy watches, including a Casio calculator which I proudly wear. I guess I have a multiple personality disorder!

I started out as a one watch guy and after 50 years am now a two watch guy. Progress.

Thanks for sharing this interesting video. I'm wondering what his ID on this forum is.

A fun watch, amusing .. plenty of “show offs” on this sight ..l!

1William · 11 December 2019, 09:54 PM

A good video. Thanks.

JayHantz · 11 December 2019, 11:13 PM

I liked it, great content and I liked how he referenced all our "wear it in great health comments." (definitely guilty of that...)

locutus49 · 11 December 2019, 11:42 PM

Thanks, guys. Wear your watches in good health. lol. PS: I wish I knew his screen name; maybe he will see this and out himself.

That was fun.

I think a lot of us are in a few of those categories and slip and slide in and out of some of them as we evolve-devolve.

joli160 · 12 December 2019, 10:01 AM

Nice video, always knew these Omega guys are nerdy

locutus49 · 12 December 2019, 10:08 AM

You are two of my favorite posters so I am glad you took the time to watch this video. Best regards.

I really enjoyed that, as well as his pronunciation video. Will watch a more of his content. Thanks very much for posting!

locutus49 · 12 December 2019, 10:24 AM

And thank you very much for watching. Yes, I really enjoyed his pronunciation video. One youtuber, Chirstian from Teho and Harris, says Car tea er instead of Cart tea a. Drives me nuts. And he has a college degree and sells vintage watches.

The reason why Omega produces so many limited editions is to pander to their collectors' "nerdiness", I think. "Silver Snoopy", any one?

DoxaDavid · 12 December 2019, 11:38 AM

Thanks for posting. Gave me a good chuckle. I fell right on with one of his categories!

Kyle3130 · 12 December 2019, 03:29 PM

Pretty spot on assessment. I’m happy to be a one watch guy! Thanks for sharing!

encarter13 · 13 December 2019, 01:17 AM

One thing that really caught my attention.

I say one - one - four - zero - six - zero (114060)

He said eleven - forty - sixty (114060)

locutus49 · 13 December 2019, 01:32 AM

Thanks for watching, guys. Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I noticed that he pronounces reference numbers differently.

Bluside · 13 December 2019, 05:14 AM

I like this guy. Calls it like he sees it.

I'm a one box guy but would love to be a one watch guy. I just don't see that happening though.

Thanks for posting.

I do what he does. For the 16710, I'm a sixteen-seven-ten guy...

Yes, we're nerds haha.

mcnealstash · 13 December 2019, 07:28 AM

This guy is great. Not only is his watch content great but he has really superb taste in European travel destinations (some of his videos are watch reviews in vacation destinations-and he will give a bit of local history), wine, and classical music- he plays Stravinsky's Firebird Suite, Elgar's "Nimrod" Enigma Variation, etc. Who does that on youtube these days?!

datejustrms · 13 December 2019, 07:55 AM

I really enjoy his videos. His video “Tips to avoid scratching your beautiful watch” is great!

locutus49 · 13 December 2019, 08:47 AM

Yes, he was a professional musician who played for a pretty well-known band, I believe. He is very sophisticated, speaks several languages, and has great taste in music.

Great video and I definitely fall into his “one watch case guy”. I also like his line of if thieves get through him then it’s well deserved.

Thanks for posting a great video, I now know which category I fall into.
