[00:02] because I thought collections were supposed to be unique to the user. So, collection, right? And in one of my recent unboxings where I got the Seeso watch, somebody noticed my other watches. Okay, so this is the Omega
[00:15] Constellation. It's easily the most expensive watch in my setup. And what's least favorite. It's got sentimental value. I got it as a celebration for one of my biggest months as a creator, but it doesn't feel like what it's worth.
[00:29] Now, what's hilarious about comments like this is this is my collection. And my favorite watch is this Bulova Machina. The black dial on that open skull front, which is funny because they call this a skeleton design where you
[00:42] can actually see the mechanics. And on this one, they took the same idea and skull. Now, the thing is I know this watch isn't for everybody. I know not everybody's going to like it. Uh the price doesn't really matter because I
[00:56] think it looks badass. And on average when I wear it, I prefer the design and look on me compared to the Omega Constellation. Collections should be preferences to you personally, not what the vanity is.
