  • @clarkmackintosh891
    @clarkmackintosh891 Před 7 měsíci +7

    The thing about watch collecting to me is that if you can’t wear something because you’re nervous about the value then maybe you ought not buy it to begin with. I’m not saying that some pieces aren’t for a certain time or place like a dress piece, but if you purchase something as a daily and are too scared to wear it because of scuffing it then what’s the point? It’s there to be enjoyed IMO.

    • @robc8892

    All depends on the individual I totally get Adrian. I had the explorer in one hand and an op in the other and chose the OP. I used to have the Yacht-Master and mint green DJ. I was going the other way to simplicity. I wanted a simple daily watch and I don’t want to be envied or stared at. Blue OP for me. Much prefer it to my yacht-master

  • @msm9430
    @msm9430 Před 26 dny

    Someone like Adrian dating he doesn't want to wear a 10k watch makes me think of I've gone a little crazy. The most reconsider watches I own are a Reverso classic and Master Geographic 39mm. Was thinking of buying something in the 10-13k range. Have I lost it? Is it a little too much for an average middle class guy?

  • @michaelg8258

    Such a weird vibe of mocking intolerance going on here. If I had the choice of any of these three's collections of watches, I would absolutely walk away with the most expensive of the lot, sell them all immediately, use the cash to buy Adrien's collection, and blow the remaining money on an Italian sports car.

    Funny because I have better pieces than my Exp2, but I rarely ever take it off. 1 day maximum before I go back to it every time. Mine survived a few motorcycle crashes, didn’t break like his on the rocks. Sad.

      its all relative. People that make a lot more than you and I would laugh at us when we make comments like $5k is the sweet spot. For some people 10k is the sweet spot, i know people that $15k is the sweet spot (where it barely starts to get a bit expensive to them). All relative man. For some people, $1500 is the sweet spot! So consider yourself lucky !
