As I gear up for my annual State of the Collection video, I've been thinking a lot about my watch collecting goals for 2023. In today's video, filmed in New York City, I discuss some of those goals including why the Insight Micro-rotor by Romain Gauthier is still my long-term grail watch. I also unbox a new, vintage-inspired Accutron Legacy based on the ref. 261 from the 1970s, as part of my search for something a little more playful, compared to the more traditional and iconic watches I own and love. This video also coincides with a recent need to send my Rolex Explorer in for a full service, which has me questioning the expensive upkeep of owning multiple Rolex watches. And following an excellent video by Russell, The Mad Watch Collector, titled "Why I Won't Buy Another Rolex," I share my thoughts on the brand and explain why I too am not planning to buy any more Rolex watches. Join me for this watch collection talk and travel vlog including iconic New York film locations and some hidden gems in this wonderful city. What are your collecting goals for 2023?
