I'm sorry, but anyone who says that a GMT is an entry level watch is a massive tool. And to say it in front of someone who has considered their options very carefully and just bought one shows a complete and total lack of class.
@@garff7557 but it’s literally not though. What a bizzare thing to say
Agreed.
Yea, Sad.
Not "massive tool" lol they're desensitized to the cost, when RM is selling everything for 6 figures & the market for million dollar watches is bigger than ever, a rolex gmt seems like a casio lol
imo the entry level to luxury watches is a day date/datejust. a GMT is the next level to that
I love this guy Nico!! He is still humble enough to know that $15k for a watch is anything but a starter Watch!! You can see this guy is a true enthusiast and he does deals for $500 to -$500-000 !! This guys is the REAL DEAL!!
This approach Nico takes to watches is what makes me proud to wear my Tissot I acquired last year. His appreciation for good watches at any price or watches that have a sentimental value is what will definitely make the watch world a better place as he likes to say
He is an actual enthusiasts that respects the sentimental value behind the hard work of obtaining a dream piece. The douche to his right has no actual comprehension of hard work.
@@alexghazarian1144 I bought two new Tissot’s this past three months. A day/date III black dial and a Couturier black dial with bracelet. The tolerances are so tight on the couturier that I was mad when I first opened the package as I thought it had an integrated bracket which I can’t stand. Lol.
The tolerances and overall quality are to good to be true for the price. They’re worth every penny of retail.
I own watches that msny enthusiasts can only dream about and these Tissot are very worthy indeed. I will surely be buying more.
Just use a soft cloth and RO water to clean the crystal and polish the case and bracelet when you go out. It’s amazing how much a bit of work and pure water makes a watch look.
Tissot FTW. 100%
@@alexghazarian1144Is that a Tissot PRX you are talking about? That is a class watch for its price range imo. I'm looking forward to gift it to myself on my next birthday
To describe a GMT Rolex as an 'entry-level' timepiece is perhaps one of the most glaring examples of being out of touch with reality that I've ever come across.
It’s an entry rolex investment piece, cheaper models are unlikely to go up in value therefore not an investment.
@@StrikeitbigNot what you said on the video though is it - “it’s a show of wealth”…“a cheap watch doesn’t make sense for me”….pleb
@@Strikeitbigstill not true, real life D bag
@@Strikeitbig If Nico laughing at your naivety and the swarms of comments on it wasn't enough to humble you then you're beyond help mate
Jesus @@Strikeitbig ! you know damn well what you said. you should man up to your mistake, not double down
The youngest gentleman is showing his naivety in his episode. Rolex GMT is entry level 😂
The maturity levels between the three is obvious. The questions and follow up questions.
Interesting podcast for a watch enthusiast. Nico is class as always.
I think that's just rich kids not knowing the real world. Most of us would consider dropping £1k on a watch a big purchase you'd make once a decade
@@Cubeforc3 Seems more like wannabe rich kids. At my boarding school reunion most guys wore vintage DJs, no one would have considered it a shame to wear, or "below entry-level".
He is filled with inner fakeness..
Also he says that for him a watch is a show of wealth 😂😂😂😂. Someone please tell him not to meet Elon Musk or some of the world's wealthiest people who don't give two s**** about watches or who wear $80 watches cause they don't care about showing off their wealth. That is 100% beneath them 😂😂. The wealthiest people I've ever met (including people like the owner of Pechangas, multi millionaire owner of a tech MSP, etc. ) either didn't wear watches cause they don't care about them or had on Casios or Citizens 😂😂😂. Meanwhile the billionaire owner of Pechangas drove an ancient Jaguar, dressed like a bum, and would always casually carry a wad of 50k - 100k cash in his pocket (literally a big roll of cash held in place by a rubber band 😂😂) . This man would tip waitresses 5k when we would go out! Lol
This just shows the different generations and how they all think ref money and watches
For a second I thought Niko called the GMT entry, panicked because I thought my respect for the man was shattering away. Glad to see I was wrong. Calling the GMT entry is just insane.
Def an entry level Rolex. Sounds funny but I wear an entry level AP 15510ST blue Ang it’s true
Entry Level? Suddenly everything else this gent says is easily dismissed. Good thing there were genuine people in this gathering.
Also that he is a self-proclaimed number one watch expert talks volumes about his character
@@dimitrismina4201 Nico didnt say this, the host did.
@tricops9608 I didn't see Nico contradict the statement despite how vocal he is
@dimitrismina4201 did we watch the same video mate? nico literally said a Casio is entry level in his world how could you not see he was trying to get this kid to behave
@@dimitrismina4201 they said most popular and nico doesnt claim he is the best u NPC
Nico is a cool dude. Loves expensive watches, but he's not a snob. So he leaves room, for everyone to find a nice watch at every pricepoint.
Hublot 💀
The main reason for Hublot hate is the price to quality ratio
That button on Nico's shirt is stronger than my 20yr marriage
Nico’s is rough around the edges like we all are, but it’s incredibly nice to see his genuine side and his genuine respect for the watch industry, wealth, and life. God tier of a man!✨🙏🏻✨
Dutch guys always act like tough guys...they forget US soldiers bailed their ass out during ww2.
Calling a GMT an entry level watch is shameful
It's cheap af for the crazy market today so many people will think that naturally. Nothing wrong with that. Don't be so butthurt over silly things.
@@matikhorasani3842 There are obviously more expensive counterparts, but it is by no means an entry level watch. Its not being butthurt its being practical
@@matikhorasani3842you obviously live at home.
When you have a house and family and car expenses. Rolex is not a priority
@@Michael-ie9ltentry level cab be subjective. It means something different to someone like Warren Buffett, Cardi B, LeBron "racist woke crybaby" James, etc
@@matikhorasani3842it’s how he made the statement! Nobody likes a braggadocios asshole.
Calling a gmt an entry level watch is shameful enough...calling it an entry level watch and trying to justify it despite a watch dealer clearly explaining it is not is completely inexcusable....
Finally, what a podcast... A GMT is not an entry level watch
Glad you enjoyed it mate!
My heart opens to hear you speak like that...
This passion, this sparkle in the eyes, wonderful!
Thank you for that!
This is an entry level watch.. and he said it with a serious face.
its all relevant, if you make 5 million a year thats entry level too them
@@mikedelape6609 Relative* That wasn't my point. More being 21 year old thinking it's a general entry level watch. To love watches, start with something lesser-known to build that love of watches.. like a hamilton, g shock etc. Rolex isn't an entry level watch.
thats not what it means. Entry level in watches simply means the cheapest, its not based on your personal financial situation@@mikedelape6609
@@itsjohn_778it is when you can afford 160k watches
Nico Leonard is a breath of fresh air on this show presented by preening sycophants.
"Oh YeAh ThAts An EnTrY LeVel WaTcH..."
..what an idiot.
I'm glad Nico sat him down grown man style 👍
!!!
Dumb comments like a $15k watch is “entry level” is the best way to tell everyone you don’t like watches you like to look wealthy. What a dumb way to try to flex. You can get a great watch for $250-$500. Seiko, TISSOT, etc.
If Nico had a US office, I would only buy watches from him. With customs and currency rates, it just isn't worth it to me but I trust the guy even though I have never met him. I trust people that can curse with such fluidity because I know they are real af. Great interview!
Then why do you have to say it here? Its like saying ill buy a ferrari if only my wife or my garage will allow it
@@bernardbernabe7733 not following where you are coming from. Have a great day buddy.
Just take a trip to NI and go back with two arms full. Or ask when he is in the USA next..
Probably cheaper to fly in to Northern Ireland and buy face to face
This great interview brought out the best in Nico Leonard as well as your channel. Watched it twice. Kudos
Man, this made me love Nico even more. Absolutely Class.
not sure what the guys name is but that comment about not wanting a datejust for a first watch is laughable. Did you think you were impressing the room with that? Also a watch should be more than a show of wealth. you should buy a watch because you love the piece, engineering, aesthetics, history etc. came across pretty badly there. funnily enough my first luxury watch was a datejust then went on to get a 116710BLNR lol
It's a matter of opinion, for me, a watch is a show of wealth so a GMT is as low as I would go. I'd rather hold onto my money and skip the date just stage. But everyone's different. Hope you enjoyed the ep mate - Kye
@@Strikeitbig GMT is as low as you would go? That’s too low bro people are gonna think you’re broke af with a GMT. You should skip to the RM stage so everyone knows your filthy rich.
@@Strikeitbigwhy do you need to show anyone what your wealth is? That’s just opening a door for people to take advantage of you like meeting the wrong woman. Why not buy things because you actually like them…? This generation is so lost and care FAR too much about what others think about them. At the end of the day we all go into the same dirt and can’t take none of these pointless possessions with us. Buy things for yourself and what YOU actually like. Stop trying to fit in. It’s a foolish way to live one’s life.
Rolex is most definitely not entry level...I mean the guys don't even know how to properly set up the watch? Fair that not everyone is well versed into watches as much as us enthusiast but if you own the watch, know how to properly use it or how it works at least. Casio and Timex are entry level, maybe a Seiko or a Hamilton for a solid entry mechanical watch. Rolex and Omega are not first time watches, and this shows exactly why. I'd argue a Datejust is more entry level as you don't have to deal with the GMT function. Even a Tudor BB36 would be an excellent watch to start a collection and learn and get into how the watches work.
I agree with you, guy has no idea what he's talking about. By the way it's called a 'datejust' not a 'dayjust'
I love Nic content. Straight to the point no BS and keeps everything traditional!
Nico is the reason why I got into watches, I got my Tudor black bay Pepsi when I graduated high school! Thank you Nico!
I saw the thumbnail and clicked immediately-so thrilled to see him on your podcast!
This was a superb episode. Big up Nico too for an honest interview
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it!
@@Strikeitbig 100%.
@@Strikeitbig do you think mark or the team would ever consider mentoring?
Really enjoyed the podcast fellas - such a great conversation from so many perspectives.
What a great Podcast,I watched this from my hospital bed and has cheered me up,I’m a big fan of Nico and have now also subscribed to you guys,thx again 👏👍
Love the father son dynamic, something that I’m missing in my life but I can appreciate to see. Almost finished with this podcast, it’s my first one I’ve seen with you guys. I’m gonna check the channel out after I finish this! Love from the states!
Hi Captain, so happy to have you onboard, we are bringing the podcast to the USA 🇺🇸 next week, loads of great guests your side of the pond. Thanks for watching MT 😎
@@Strikeitbig I look forward to it!
Great to see Nico being interviewed I’m already fan but love him even more now 🔥🔥
Nico is not wrong. You dont start wmith a Rolex. You start with casio and other affordable watches. Its a journey to find your style
I am starting with 3 Seiko. 1 special edition and one no longer sold. And I think I overdid it. Can't imagine the state of mind that guy lives in.
I enjoyed this conversation.
Thank you for sharing it.
Two of my favourite CZcamsrs in a 90 min podcast….it’s Christmas again 😍
Nico is pure charisma and a fantastic chap
23:29 gotta love the host trying to be witty with an extremely busy Nico who has graciously given his time to do their podcast.
Guys like nico and teddy b are keeping the watch game alive. Nico had a very mature response to the kid saying a GMT is entry level. If you were even slightly a watch enthusiast you would know that’s bullshit. Saying a watch is to show wealth, after bashing your buddies hard-earned GMT really showed his character. A watch CAN be a way to show wealth. The people who do it purely as a status symbol are similar to people buying a brand new Lamborghini instead of a 69’ boss 302 or 429. The guy with the vintage mustang is a true car guy while the 2023 lambo is a boy.
Great episode lads always watched nico nice to get an insight into the business and the stories 👍🏻👏🏻
Rolex GMT Entry Level. Wow. Some people live in a different Fantasy World
Isn’t a fantasy mate, it’s the world i created for myself
@@Strikeitbig Bro...
The collab we all been waiting for
❤️
Love the way Nico mentioned Casio as an entry level watch!
Nico is a goat! thanks for the conversation, and re-igniting the fire within
I needed this today.
4:16 talking about confidence. Nico certainly has confidence in those shirt buttons 😅
Hi Tim , LOL 😂 MT 😎🇺🇸
What a cool episode. Very insightful to learn about watches from such a passionate man and 3 great hosts. Bravo
Hi, thanks for the great comments it’s really appreciated. MT 😎
I love watching Nico's channels.He has made me very interested in trying to build a watch collection. He is a great character and clearly very passionate about what he does. I'm sure his success will continue.
What a legend!!! Love this guy! Great episode.
Glad you liked it Bruno!
Lol my name is also Bruno
Can you get the guy who said the Rolex GMT is entry level to get a coffee or something and be useful.
The actual truth (I'm afraid) is that 90% of people WONT notice what watch you are wearing...so don't spend the mortgage on one if you are expecting it alone to change your life please. I'm speaking as a Rolex owner.
Depends what room you’re in. We own Rolex’s & APs and other successful people that own watches always start conversations with us about them 👊
Not sure whether this came about from my suggestion or internally but this was an amazing podcast to watch and listen to.
Been watching Nico for awhile! Love your podcast! Was a fun watch! Showing love from AZ! I just bought my first Tissot for my birthday
Great video. Fantastic to see Nico with a different angle, more him less than trolling.
Also, at 23:29, you posted a picture of the 5970 and not the 5270, you may want to edit that.
He's a nice guy, I can listen to him all day.
Love Nico! Great podcast. Thanks very much guys. Kindest regards, Richard U.K
Freaking thanks. I cried during this podcast but I wasn't crying because it was funny, I cried because this podcast told me "hey, when you were 13 you started to code, when you were 14 you were pushing yourself to be better, when you were 15 you still were pushing to be a better programmer and started doing design, now you're 16. You're still trying, you're still pushing but you need to do something more". Fuck me, thanks to this podcast now I'm going to use my skills and try to find someone that could mentor me and finally make some money from it. I'm grateful as hell to Nico because he educated about watches, then entertained me with his videos and now he pushed to do more.
Thank you Niko, you're absolute legend and you're my hero.
You will come there. Start working on your mindset first.
I also cried during the podcast, I cried of happiness because I'm on the toilet and I've just taken the biggest SHlT of my life. Feels so good to push out that fat brown snake
Good for you. Dedicate yourself and learn from everyone and everything you can. It will pay of
@@PogU_4Lifegood for you too 😂
Love the honesty and passion of Nico. Not so keen on the hosts that talk money as if they are millionaires. And not just a CZcams fad that will pass.
They are millionaires though….
@@KristianH1986 By doing something anyone could do .... A podcast requires zero skill apart from being entertaining and these guys are not, in my opinion of course.
@@dylvasey They don’t just do a podcast, and besides that, growing a channel on CZcams is hardly easy. If it was, everyone would be doing it successfully.
The fact they didn’t have a slightest idea about what they were holding in their hands just tells me they don’t belong in watch world…
Nico is a great guy, both in stature and belly.
If you are truly successful and have done well in life, as well as have other parts of your life in balance, I think it’s rare that you feel so insecure that you need to compensate with an expensive watch.
As a watch lover with limited funds, my Nomos is my “ultimate” watch. I love it, even though I’m sure it is insignificant to the high-end crowd.
Surprisingly very good podcast
good man Nico !
If that button on that shirt goes, someone is losing an eye.
Always remember… “The man makes the watch, the watch doesn’t make the man” being humble and brave is the key to success.
From NYC listening and I loved this episode
Awesome interview!!
Nico’s accent is unreal, never heard a mixture of northern Irish and Dutch before 😂
Who else went straight to the comments as soon as that kid mentioned a gmt is an entry level watch?
Ewww! "For me a watch is a show of wealth, so for me..." Maaaan thats douchey!🤦
The black and the purple 1159's from AP are wonderful! Love Nico!
When he said he worked in the south that's wen I meet him and he was a absolute work horse but also a man of his word I remember nico sitting on my floor x mas week sitting on my floor with my wife fitting her first rolex and I have no patience nico is a genuine good person 8 years ago driving his wife's mini well done mate have the submariner on me writing this I bought 3 rolexs in my life all from nico Leonard
The fact it was a Pepsi makes me so happy. Thats my dream Rolex right now.
New to this channel and I love it.
Awesome, hope to catch you in the comments in the future!
First time watching your podcast. Won't be the last. Just bought a timex with a gift card from the lil one. Thanks Nico you have great energy.
everyone who wears something just to show others how much they're worth is a knob imo
Not even 5 mins in and the kid in the Burberry shirt has already made a right tit of himself.
A big wet one
That guy in the middle saying the Pepsi is an entry level watch (while pooping on the DateJust) lost all credibility in the first couple mins of the podcast. Educate and humble yourself bro
Amazing guest !
GREAT SHOW
Thanks!
This video highlights the kind of person who gleefully splurges on whimsical time-telling gizmos.
Nico vs waken wines facts love nico man got so much personality 💯
"About much would (an RM67) set him back?" "About 160k." "Oh, I think that you could do that." "What the f--k are we doing? We're talking like 160k is nothing." hahahahaha
Great episode guys. Nico is a top fella! But a GMT Master II does not have a quick set date function ;-)
I thought so!
@@Strikeitbig See, you know more than the world's watch expert :-) Loving your channel!!
Nico is the bestest!
Anyone who thinks that a GMT is a entry level shows arrogance and that they don’t really care about watches
Nico got into the watch business selling fakes.... so there's that lol
They clearly only see the monetary value of the watch not the piece itself.
Needs a part 2. And part 3. And part 4. 💪😎
Haha, we'll bare that in mind 💪
These need to ditch the kid who said the GMT is entry level. Totally deluded.
Your a legend Nico love to meet u .elliot fron UK.
Nico is that guy! Great podcast ❤️
He was a great guest! Thanks for the support Drey 👊
Great podcast
If your equipment is so nice why does everyone have a different volume level?
God Tier Person. . . No other words needed. .
Nico at his most Erudite. Brilliant!!
What an amazing man he is just so
Generous
1:20:36 LMAOOOOOOO
The guy saying a rolex pepsi "entry level" to me is disrespectful. What might he say next? Omega , Longines , Hamilton , etc is microbrand??
Nico is a good guy I like this interview !
"For me, a watch is a show of wealth." - I hate people like this. Watches are pieces of art.
This is such a W guest
