SORRY FOR THE CLICK BAIT!! But Here's My Response to People Who Think So

- I address why some people think Rolex watches are a waste of money! I obviously don't think so, and if you're here, you don't either. Then I go into what situations to avoid in order to maximize the value of your collection.
I got my watch from this seller
rover.ebay.com...

My strategy is I buy what I like
“If you don’t like it, it’s actually none of your business”
No truer words have been spoken! Great video as usual!
Ty brotha🙌🏻
Just remember if you're paying way over list for a Rolex "hype" watch, that watch is intrinsically worth much less than what you should actually get for that amount of money. Spending $20K on a Daytona gets you a watch that cost $13K. Spending $20K on a used Patek or Lange could get you a watch that cost $40K new -- and is from another planet in terms of watchmaking skill. If you really want the hype watch, go ahead. But realize the value isn't really there.
Great reminder
Hard to find a 20k patek or Lange🤣 I'm trying though
Mine is 1960s Omega diver or chrono, black dial, hesalyte pieces - I guess it relates to childhood as I was born in the 1960s. Still strategy sometimes only gets clear after you already bought some other pieces, plus if you are into 50 year old pieces, you will want one, two or three modern pieces thst are not part of the collection but which you have for daily use, swimming, etc. So you may end up with a clear collection, but also with a few functional watches on top that are not directly related to your collection pieces.
ahh wow yes! i didn't consider that! Maybe you dont start with a strategy but come up with one as you collect!
Why is it that people who never owned Rolex bash them? I never understood that. At least own one then talk smack
Lo agreed
My Rolex strategy: one sports model for daily wear, which is explore II white now; one precious metal model in case I need to wear suit, I have a white gold day-date II for that. I would like to upgrade my explorer II to either Pepsi, hulk or batman, but haven’t had any clue yet.
So 2 total? No winder needed👍
Nice video, good advice. Do you mind sharing what your % net worth limit is for “toys”?
10%. For now🤣
Great video.
I agree 100%.
Cars, campers, money pits.
My Dad loved classic cars.
His two were beautiful.
But like my camper, it sits unused here in the Midwest half of each year. I wear my Sub any day, rain, snow, or shine. There is cost or value per use as well.
An apple watch will be e waste garbage in less than a decade. I can count my own pulse, and walking keeps an automatic going. Hahaha
Many don't have the critical thinking skills to understand this. I'm glad some, like us, do. :)
Lol exactly. It's not rocket science. Either we get it or ppl don't🤷🏻♂️
I agree with you entirely. I also realized that watches make me happier than cars :) by the way, I‘m looking forward to the Tudor announcement tomorrow.
About the same I would think. But I've never had a fun car. I couldn't justify pulling the trigger on a lotus exige back when they were manageable! Now they're crazy money
I am probably one of your older viewers. Chronologically, I am 68. That said, I concur with many of the points that you make on your channel. The points that you make on this video certainly reinforces how we share the same perspective on certain things. Take my advice, please. Getting old is a state of mind and cars and watches are a great way to be young.
I love this comment! Cars watches and what else??
@@LewisMa be or stay, mentally, young. Or broke if you're not wise.

I think its all right to spend on hobbies or toys as long there is balance. Sometimes i see my friends spending money on new iphones, i do felt it kinda of waste of money especially the life-span of phones are typically around 2 to 3 years. But at the same time, when someone saw me with my rolex then they can't make sense why would i buy such a expensive watch. That's life !
It’s always weird to me how certain people get so wrapped up in how other people choose to spend their own money. Who cares it’s their money and it’s really none of anyone else’s concern. Everyone buys things that may seem absolutely frivolous to others. A friend of mine busts my chops about buying Rolex watches just about every time he sees me. He’s joking but at the same time he’s not. Of course he’s got a out of control expensive toy buying habit of his own, mostly financed by credit. He just prefers different toys then watches that’s all. People need to chillax. Having a watch buying strategy is good advice. Also knowing your financial limitations
Hey Lewis congratulations on the AP. I know you been eying it and it’s been a good buying opportunity IMO. Very happy for you. It’s a good feeling to pick up a nice piece especially at a discount. AP, Lange, Patek and Rolex are quality brands that will always bounce back and be in demand again. The economist say the economy is about to explode. What do you think? My investment manager got me through this virus thing relatively unscathed. He said he thinks that things are looking much better through the end of the year. I think you bought that AP at the right time. I bought 6 flipping Rolex at near fire sale (relatively speaking) prices and am waiting for prices to recover. We shall see. I don’t know AP RO pricing very well but it seems to me that that model was around 43, 45k and up in preowned with Fullset? Again congratulations and hopefully you’ll do a little show/tell video
@@SPQR-Z thx brotha. Yeah, i feel we're on the edge of the economy taking off also; I'm all in. I got the 26400IO.OO.A004CA.01 for $22k! I'm hesitant to do a video and might delete this comment later. I notice you and some guys with collections on CZcams never show their faces and i dont think thats a bad idea :). How about u? I'd love to see a video about what you picked up!
Wow that sounds like a great price! I’ve been telling people that were in the market to buy but disheartened by the “bubble” prices to buy now. I’ve seen Rolex prices start firming up now and even rising slightly for popular models. The common steel models got very attractive for a short window of buying opportunity. I picked up 3 Subs, a older GMT and an Explorer 2 42mm for pretty good discounts. Way off the highs that is. I also got a early 50’s Oyster Perpetual pre Explorer like was used on the 1953 Mt Everest British Expedition. I am working on a review for the entire Explorer I line from the 1953 pre Explorers to the current release. I will also be delving into the history, the myths, the facts and the controversy of the Rolex vs Smiths debate, specifically which watch made it to the Roof of the world first. Ought to ruffle a few feathers ;) It’s a fascinating bit of horological lore for sure. I was thinking about doing a video about my recent buying experiences in the virus slowdown, in what had otherwise been an extremely hot market. I’m getting busy now that the lockdown is lifting, so all this free time I had is going away but if I get the time I will try and squeeze that video in. Again congrats on the pickup and enjoy that beautiful watch.
I have a life time budget of $2000 for watches, and I already blew through $1800 on cheap knock offs. My current collection strategy is lay low and critique other people's mistakes.
There u go!
Excellent points very well taken. I particularly like your strategy of having rule about how much you will allow yourself to spend based on net worth.
Great video. Another thing to remember. Sometimes don’t try and over-think things. Sometimes you’ve just got to do what you’ve got to do (without rationale). We can also all over complicate things
Ahh well said but these are such emotional decisions. I know I am guilty of almost buying something I would have regretted!
But at the same time maybe I would have loved it who knows 🤣
I like your flow Lewis....great advice. I don't have so much a collecting strategy as much as I have a wrist wear strategy. I brought my core collection down to 5 pieces last year and sold everything else. I enjoy looking at and researching different watches. I work shift work and start my days off by wearing a different automatic piece each set for 4 days straight. My quartz pieces don't count in the grand scheme as I see them as disposable assets.....I enjoy wearing my 2 Casio Protreks at work due to the added functionality and ruggedness....I often sell the Casio pieces off and buy the latest offerings every 2 years or so. I'm waiting patiently for a Rolex OP34 in Olive or a Tudor BB58. I'm also eyeballing the latest Seiko Captain Willard in green that is going to be released next month.
Ty brotha. I like your plan and the fact u have a plan!
Hello Lewis. I’m from London, England and was wondering if you could give me any advice on where to find a good watch, Iv been looking on the usual places for us like watchfinder and eBay but with eBay I’m a little worried about being scammed. Is Chrono24 any good?
well remember chrono 24 is just a platform for differnt sellers , just like ebay. I would say check reviews and feedback. I left the link to the seller i got my watch from on ebay
Agreed
Very happy with my Rolex submariner it’s worth £2k more than I paid for it and makes me feel great wearing it!
What kind of accuracy do you get out of your sky dweller? Just Curious.
i probably set it a couple minutes every few months or so. I believe it's within the stated +-2 seconds a day
@@LewisMa That is pretty nice. My GS runs about that as well. The Pelagos is even more accurate, I really like accurate watches.
@@elefantrising thinking about getting a timegrapher for a future video. Rolex vs quartz watch vs replica watch🤷🏻♂️
Great vids, they don’t drag, right length. Good advice
Ty mark. I was a little worried putting this one out. Appreciate the feedback!
Collection strategy. That's where I'm coming from and I completely agree with you
Ty🙌🏻
Glad it makes sense!
Lewis,
Have you considered the Glashutte Original PanomaticLunar.
i havent'. i'll take a look! ty
@@LewisMa You're very welcome.
the Glashutte Original PanomaticLunar is an excellent watch for money.
I'd be interested to know what you think.
Regards,
Steven
haha, I don't even buy my T-shirts!
My rule is each million I make I buy a new Rolex.
My man! I love that rule!!
Great video I have a three watch collection strategy myself.
would u mind sharing with us your 3
Sure man currently I have a GS Sbg 255 a Tudor pelagos and a seiko presage enamel limited edition. Gs and Tudor are staying for sure. My dream would be to add a Lange but would be content with jager as well
I hope you have a good idea(thema) for you next video,like this video
I was a little nervous for this one, not sure if people were going to like it. Thank you! Lol no pressure for the next one 🤣
Hey Lewis, Another AWESOME video, keep them coming...!
Like art.
Lol
My thoughts - sporty APs don’t work. They are too delicate to be truly sporty.
Rolex much more durable, APs are better suited to a dress watch usage.
But hey - it’s a free(ish) world 🌍 so enjoy 😉
Yeah? how so? i've only done initial research into it as I'm a while away from it. I think the carbon ones you have to be careful with? but the ceramic is okay?
Helpful advice, good vid.
Thanks so much. I was a little hesitant before putting this one out, so I'm glad you said that 🙏
Good disciplined advice.
Ty brotha.
Practical 👍 good
Ty,👍
Buy what you love then nothing else matters. I’d rather just have a few of my absolute loves than a lot of my likes. Just me though.
Me too. Agreed
cannot agree more, man :)
Absolutely a great review . I took deep heed to every word you said. I just got into watch collecting. The highest I'm willing to pay for a watch is $350. I'm buying most of my watches fro. ISLAND WATCH. And my top goal is to have 7 watches, 1 for each day of the week. And i would love to have that replica Omega watch that you had on one of your videos, the orange one. Do you know what website that it came from ?
7! Perfect! U have to buy a winder though!
@@LewisMa ok thanks. I'll look one up.
Thanks,you was fast
I hope you have a good idea for you next video,like this one
Nice!
I know you don’t only do watch vids, but the ones you do are great 👍🏽
Thanks so much! Yes people seem to like the watch one so I'll keep doing them for now. I'll sprinkle another's later 👍
Very true, Rolex posers are hating.
Not sure why they watch my videos
Lewis big up man wealth talk motivational cheers uk massive
