CIA contractors wear Rolex because it's a quick 10k which will get you home fast.
Owning an expensive thing obviously doesn’t make me happy but the feeling I can have enough to spend on something expensive does make me happy. Different way, same outcome.
Solid point!
But still it is narrow mindedness or shallow thinking (no offense), imagine you could spend the fraction of that money on feeding or helping needy children or families, probably that should give you more satisfaction because you can help people who really will bless you.
Truth
@@TheSharmaFilms You assume people spend money on expensive stuff before helping others but maybe they are buying these after they help others. Also no offence but don’t you think helping others for satisfaction is a little bit mundane?
@@TheSharmaFilms sorry but that woke mindset is very shallow. Nothing wrong with spending money for your own good. You can do both. Spend on your own hobbies and needs while helping others. Non of those are exclusive to each other. Narrow-mindedness is assuming people who spend on themselves only spend on themselves.
I’ve been collecting watches for over 20 years and have gotten comments/questions only four times. Once wearing a Rolex Kermit (vintage aluminum bezel); another was when wearing a Tissot Racing T-Touch; Omega Planet Ocean 36th America’s Cup; and a metal G-Shock. And the G-Shock was the best conversation. So 99% of the time, people don’t know or care what’s on your wrist. But I wear them for me, not for a conversion starter.
Apple Watch works better for that
I’m not at the point I can afford luxury watches yet, but I did treat myself to a new pilot watch to celebrate my leap from a soul crushing job at the postal service to starting flight school. It makes me happy every time I put it on and it keeps me motivated on my journey towards my dream career as an airline pilot. The large dial and simple design stands out too compared to more typical dress or dive watches, which tends to spark conversation. That’s great for me because the stereotypes about pilots are true. The only thing we love as much as flying is talking about flying. 😅
When I bought my first Rolex date just when I was turning 26 year old! I work very hard for it and every time when I wear my Rolex, it gives me chills and happiness and memories of how much effort and hard work, I have put in that time! Until this day! Saludos 👋🏾😁 de Fresno California
I don't have a Rolex, but I know I had good sense of pride and accomplishment when I bought my first automatic watch. It was a sense of pride in that I now knew what an automatic watch was. It was also the culmination of saving up for it on a limited budget and then being able to buy it in cash. It's my daily wear piece and I always enjoy looking down at it on my wrist. So yes a thing can bring me happiness, but it's because of the experience surrounding the thing for me.
I agree with you 100%. I myself don’t own a Rolex either but I do own an automatic watch. May I ask what you wear?
The most beautiful thing about watch is that when you look at it on your wrist you will remember why you bought it. What the beautiful story behind it. What achievement you have achieved. That's what got me into watches
This is a really good video and definitely on the spot. 👌🏼 My first luxury watch was a Omega Seamaster 300M - I bought it because I reached a milestone, it still in my collection, even if nowadays I don’t wear it very often. Then two years ago my next one also a Omega, a Speedmaster for the next milestone. And last month I gifted myself with a Rolex - it makes me happy because they also remind me where I’m coming from and what I’ve reached. They’re also pieces of personal history. So I absolutely get your point. Conversation starter? Sometimes…, because most of the people don’t really recognise what kind of watch I wear and most people just simply don’t care. Sure, it depends on which company you are in at the moment.
The way even my 75$ Vostok completes my outfit, boosts confidence and everything that comes with that alone is worth way more than the cost.
My father gave me one of his Rolex watches after I went on a statewide manhunt to fix his 1970’s breitling datora. The Rolex he gave me was an oyster perpetual date (not datejust) with a white Buckley dial. It’s unassuming and very classy. I swapped out the oyster bracelet for some leather straps since I like to have fun with it. Does it get attention? Sometimes. Usually an old timer that notices the magnifier will ask me about it. Sometimes a woman sees Rolex on the dial will comment on it. Would it have been the kind of Rolex that I would’ve picked out for myself? No, but it is a gift from my father that I have grown to love through building a relationship with it on my wrist.
I tried it with watches and cars. It’s only a moment of happiness at the time of buying, but after that you get worried about taking care of it and you wanna get rid of that burden by finally selling it. So basically you knew you can do it, you got the “good” feeling and got it out of your system and no longer desire it.
Exactly
I think the story behind it for you wasn’t significant enough so it had no meaning? Am I right, or wrong? I have a few nice things and I like my story so they have sentimental value.
@@andrewharding4806 Not really wanting to speak for him but he clearly didn’t say that so I guess you’re wrong.
@@DavidB-py8nz I have a question. Does someone have to explicitly say something for it to be the case?
My boss offered me a Rolex worth $2000 and it was the first watch I wore that expensive. I am so happy each time I put it on.
Hmm sus
Years ago, I was talking with a fellow member of the Board of Directors of a public company for which we both served. He was proudly showing me his newly acquired Phillip-Patek watch. I showed him my Timex Expedition. He was shocked that I wore a $35 watch when it was clear that I could afford any watch on the market. I replied with a quote from Warren Buffet: "I don't need that to validate my self worth". I expanded that by saying the $35 watch kept great time, was good to 35 meters (in case I fell off my boat), and I could buy an exact replacement almost anywhere when the battery went bad or if it became damaged. The same couldn't be said of my Brietling (which was a gift from my wife).
Thanks Antonio, great video. Loved the story about Sasha’s watch. It is so nice to have an heirloom like that in the family.
The luxury watch community is one of the most unique I’ve come across. The watch market has shot through the roof and I contemplated selling some of mine. However, everytime I look down at my wrist, it reminds me of all the blood, sweat, and tears it took to purchase them. To me, that’s priceless.
Beautiful comment. Cant imagine selling mine, but we both have the same feeling when we look down
Many good points here, for me as a watch lover its all about the way it makes me feel. I’m an Omega guy and love wearing mine as a finish to an outfit, be it my Speedmaster or Seamaster. They complete the look.
I have some goodies I want when I reach certain milestones in my new career doing marketing. 80k - a made to measure suit 90k - Bespoke suit. Luckily, there is a British trained tailor about an hour away from me. 100k - A watch. My wife and I want to go to Switzerland for vacation some time, and that's where I'll get that special watch. It'll be from a little shop on a Swiss town. Not a name brand like Rolex, Patek Phillipe, or Swatch. A simple, yet elegant and meaningful watch, one with a story I can tell to whomever I pass it on to.
My Rolex watches make me very happy. I love them for what they are and still get a thrill looking at them. I’m glad I got them when I could,( several yrs ago) because the prices are out of my range now.
3 months ago i picked up my Grand Complication 6102R And yes i do feel happy 😀
Whoa that pocket watch is awesome.
I've loved Rolex ever since i was a kid i had a gmt master handed down to me 15 years ago from my late father. Vostok watches really make me happy,there a very cheap brand but quite unique craftsmanship put to them. The after sale extras you can purchase makes really snazzy (bezel and bracelet)
I do have 2 Rolexes (Submariner and GMT Master 2) and an Omega (Speedmaster Professional). Each of them were aspirational pieces and marked specific times in my life, achievements and career goals. Each of my watches gets worn and used on a regular basis and I plan on handing them down to my daughter one day. You’re absolutely right that the ownership of my pieces in and of themselves does not bring me any extra happiness, but the memories and pictures of events with those specific watches does. Snorkeling in Hawaii with my Submariner, business trips with my GMT. Driving in wine country with my wife, with my Speedy. Looking back on those memories brings me so much happiness. It is a reminder that I have such a fortunate life and not to take anything for granted.
When I wear my Rolex, sometimes I feel special. Then I find myself walking around Walmart with my huge Sea Dweller Deepsea and I feel a douche bag. Definitely not a daily watch for me. I think most of the people I hang around with don't even recognize I'm wearing a Rolex or care anyways. I think I get my looks when I wear my huge black Breitling. For everyday use I wear my Garmin.
Never owed an overly expensive watch and probably won’t. Patek and Rolex aren’t really my vibe. I take pride in looking sharp on a dime, finding a bargain and getting compliments for actually using my brain and thinking my outfits through. Following your advice on how to buy a few pieces and get 100s of combos from them. I have a Fossil watch and a Citizen Eco as my EDCs, both in steel. I still have my watch from the military and it works great. Its a Timex in black from the 80s. Also have a vintage real gold Timex big face winder for my vanity watch. Have had it since college and works great. Only I know its real gold, most people smile and say “Cool watch, have you had it for long…”
I bought a new 3861 speedmaster professional a month ago. I have the budget to go much higher but the speedy is the one ive loved for a long time. It makes me happy to have bought it the same year I got married and to commemorate my 10th year in my career. Its those factors that really makes paying the premium worth it.
Rolexes are also a great business tool. For example, I’ll be in a conversation with someone, and the person I’m speaking with will notice my Rolex, and all of a sudden become more interested in what I’m saying. Even more, the next time I encounter the same person, they will often notice that I’m wearing a different Rolex (I own 4 Rolexes), which fantastic for business. They idea being that when you can wear different Rolexes each day, then people definitely want to hear what you have to say. Im a Rolex enthusiast, but they are also excellent business tools.
I really like your Yachty, and can honestly tell you my watch collection is definitely something that brings me a ton of joy.
I love that watch by the way however I have 3 automatic watches 2 Bulova both same but different colours the 1st I paid full price for £375 and 2nd I found for about £200 and 1 Dufa that RRP £599 I got for £110. My point is I enjoy the hell out of these watches and I only paid a few hundred quid for. My advice is it doesn't matter how much it costs as long as you love it and you paid the right price for it. After I got the 2nd Bulova for a discount I immediately was disappointed I paid full price. I still love it though but look out for deals before buying.
I've never smashed a like button before when the creator asked but when you said to smash it if you have a nice watch a nobody noticed it, sadly, I had to. I'm glad I'm not alone.
Excellent analysis, Antonio. I make pennies compared to you and I got my 4th Rolie a few weeks ago. I also have other luxury and non-luxury watches. They definitely make me happy.
Excellent video !!
There is something ‘special’ about wearing a nice watch in my opinion (love the blue datejust by the way). I bought myself an omega seamaster few years ago following a milestone/bonus/ just because I always wanted one.. every time I put it on the wrist I still love it, regardless of people noticing it’s just a nice thing to have and makes me feel ‘well dressed’ and ready to roll. Happy days. Blue datejust, or Roly President is on the list should I ever become a high roller! 😉🙂
At the end it boils down to whether you can afford it, you regularly wear it, and never worry about what others think.
I'll be more anxious than anything while wearing it. Cheap watches are easily replaceable if stolen or robbed.
Please don't reply to those comments with Whatsapp number. It's a spam account.
@@RealMenRealStyle Of course.
You should protect all that you have with your life your house your family your wrist watch. Screw the law carry & get the job done.
Yes.
Yup The Rolex definitely makes me happy.....for the first few days of owning the watch. Afterwards I just place it in my vault and wear on special occasions. Gets kinda boring afterward.
Expensive watches aren't my thing. I'm very happy rocking my square G-Shock. Plus I'm afraid to wear a super expensive watch, I even stopped wearing my smartwatch because I was afraid I'd break it with how often I banged it on things.
Then the G-shock is the watch for you.
I reached a business milestone, and purchased the Hulk (green Rolex submariner) about 3 years ago. I paid $9600 and now brings between $28k-$34k, because it’s been discontinued. I won’t sell it if it was worth 10x that, because of what it represents. I want to purchase 2 more, and leave them to my 3 children after I’m gone.
My old club would want you to sell it.
I spent YEARS working for $9-$13 hr. Never could buy myself anything nice. After graduating college and and getting my 1st high paying job, I saw a really nice watch for several hundred. My old routine was to just walk away but I decided to look at bank account and realized I could now buy 10 of those. So I bought it. Now I collect watches.
The happiness comes from the status a rolex brings in, and the hard work you put in to attain it. I'm proud of my rolex and feel like a better man when I put it on. It's only a 2nd hand rolex I purchased for 5,000, but its beautiful and I feel great wearing it.
Bro material stuff doesnt make u better or stronger man
@@cherchil No shit it doesnt make me better or stronger. I just said i FEEL better.
Well all I can say is that I’m happy with my $200 Orient, it’s a nice watch.
Money doesn't buy happiness, but it makes a great down payment.
Buying the Rolex is the I made it moment.
Im curious as to why you consider buying the submariner no date a bad purchase. I might be feeling the same. Care to expound?
I bought my Rolex Sub as a reward for an accomplishment years after the event. I specifically bought the Sub because as Rolex’s go it’s pretty nondescript (many makers have similar looking watches). I’m not a showy guy but I rarely go out when someone doesn’t recognize the Sub and compliment me.
I don’t think a watch can, or should determine your happiness. But with that said, it’s definitely nice to have a nice watch like a Rolex on the wrist.
Love from 🇮🇳India
Eventhough that watch does not retail for $28k.... (List price is $16,200, and you can find new ones on the gray market for around $22 and used around $14k), it was still a pretty good investment; considering inflation you did not lose money.
Yes. Yes that would most definitely make me happy. Seriously. I would sell it and put a down payment I need to buy a truck for my business I want to start
Someone offered to trade me their stainless Date Just for my 84 Mercedes. I said no but part of that was because i wasn't sure how hard it was to flip a Rolex.
I love wearing homages. I get compliments all the time. I love the reactions when I tell em it’s a chinex. It doesn’t even say Rolex on it and I paid a couple of hundred for it. Having people think I’m rich without having to do stupid financial decisions makes me happy.
I have always been “hard” on watches so a Rolex on my wrist would be like giving fine crystal to someone prone to tripping. Combined with a modest middle class upbringing, a good looking Citizen or Seiko (or high end Timex is all I need to be happy. Note: Read “The Millionaire Next Door” about watch selection. And to fellow Texans you’ll understand the saying “big hat, no cattle.”
To many quality brands out there with equal or even superior quality to warrant paying what IS an excessive amount for a watch brand.
My 07 YM makes me very, very happy just by looking at it
Umm money doesn’t bring true happiness. I agree it helps and you need to atleast have some money to not be struggling so bad. Perspective is important here.
I don't know but I'm willing to take that chance.
I would have serious buyers remorse if I paid 29k for a watch, when a $500 Seiko would make me happy. I would not wear the Rolex in case I damaged it.
I think that luxury watches are obviously like great jewels, and being an indivudual that is really passionate about the watch world, there are three ways to live this world: first, if you want a watch that makes your life better, then I would buy a Garmin, because it helps you in so many ways that is incredible; second, for you the watch is a great jewel and has great value for a sentimental point of view, and so you collect them or you look for a rare piece to add into a collection; third, you use watches as an investment for the future. For me an important jewel like watches must be important and I would never sell it, because its value goes over the simple money factor. P.s: if you want to impress a woman, you can do it with a Rolex, but maybe Breguet or Patek Philippe are even better.
When I left the army I cashed out my pension, that made me happy hahaha
Hey Antonio
I know I commented lots before, but all bants aside I’ll answer things properly. So I remember when I bought my first lux watch it was a seamaster and I loved the bond link ever since I was a child so I bought it and I felt great. I then went onto buy a new Aston Martin at 27. I felt like bond I was shaking for a week before getting delivery of the car. I got my first Rolex when I was 29 and it felt great a proper aspirational piece. Then it all went strange. Since then I’m 34 I’ve had multiple watches now worth way more than the Rolex, and other nice cars. Im totally numb now to them now I get the next watch and im thinking about the next one and then the next one. 6 Rolexes in im Hoarding them they are pointless. I can’t remember the last time I felt a buzz for anything bordering on a feeling of loosing my purpose or my value in life. It’s strange because you can objectively look at how far you have come and your “Better” but still you loose that feeling I describe it as a child on Christmas morning when you really wanted a present and you would be looking forward to that thing you asked for weeks before it. That’s where middle success sucks, anything you want within reason but not enough to go buying lots of super cars and stuff your kind of trapped and it’s depressing.
It is what is is.
If I could sell it for that much, I'd definitely be happy.
I like watches because they tell me the time.
The guy in the thumbnail might have trouble reading his $28k Rolex upside down 🤣
Goddamn it, that's a handsome watch.
If I didn’t pay for it, absolutely.
ok don't laugh.I have a Bulova Marine star that I bought at a pawn shop for $125.00. It retails for about $375.00 I think.I love this watch more than my Swiss Made watches.i know it's not a Rolex but It looks just as good as Antonio's Rolex.It's heavy and keeps perfect time.This watch was made in NY. before Bulova moved to Thailand.maybe some day it will be worth more than the original retail price...lol
Nothing to laugh about. If it makes you feel and look great that's really what matters.
But more importantly, can having the most expensive stuff make us happy?
Where are you seeing that your watch is worth 28k?? That watch at most is worth brand new at 18k. And this is from Chrono24….
Money doesn't buy happiness but it helps.
How about a watch video for the average guy who can only spend 3 or 4 figures on a watch?
FYI never take a Rolex off in public. You can accidentally leave it in a restroom or be a victim of the switcharo! If you must take it off get in the habit of putting it in your front trouser pocket. I’m speaking from experience. I was lucky and got my watch back. Will never make that mistake with a Rolex again.
No, only knowing and loving Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour Material things like that wear off quickly
I'll stick to my Seiko
I have a titanium diver that looks like a submariner (yes, it the Invicta) but I also have a Milgauss. The Invicta gets more attention than the actual Rolex. note: Antonio, stop shaving with steak knives dude.
Agreed. I have a few invicta pro divers also and seikos and that why rolex owners(not Antonio) hate invicta divers because they are cheap and get way more attention than any 20K rolex LOL.
I've heard that for the billionaire class, Rolexes are the type of watches they buy as good boy reward presents for their servants. Just saying.
LOL, having a job that paid enough for me to have this watch would make me happy. Can't justify a purchase like that on my salary.
@Real Men Real Style ▪️ Death to scammers
I have some nice watches however I find most girls notice watches that are a bit more unique (dials made of unique materials and skeleton watches). I've had more compliments on my cheaper watches than my more expensive watches 🤣☠️
In my view it makes a person stressed about getting mugged lol
$30,000 on a watch?! Ridiculous! I’ve still got my Fossil watch that I spent less than $200 on back in college. I get compliments everywhere I go. That’s good enough for me. My work in the community and seeing people thrive is my reward. I don’t need an expensive item to prove my worth.
Your $200 fossil watch is more expensive than that 12k Rolex. That fossil will eventually break and be worth nothing, you will have spent $200. With a Rolex it will last for ever, and continue to increase in value. To each there own, but just because you don't understand something or aren't into it that doesn't make it ridiculous. I would encourage you in life to keep an open mind.
@@rickyromano6659 A fool and his money are soon parted. This Fossil watch has lasted me 21 years so far.
@@NewCreationRedeemed that's great, and I hope you get 20 more years of use and joy from it. However, it's not worth anything. A $200 through away item is more expensive than $20,000 asset that increases in value. The watch you are saying is ridiculous he could sell for a solid proft if he wanted to after years of use. If you don't understand how that is better financially it's all good brother.
@@rickyromano6659 With the deep financial depression that’s coming, actual gold and silver, food, gas, clothing, etc will be the things worth anything at all. No one is gonna give you $30,000 worth of goods for a watch. People are going to become a lot more discretionary with their spending. I suggest you do the same.
@@NewCreationRedeemed you think we are going to be on barter and trade system? OK, well I hope you have a good bunker with lots of dried non-perishable food and access to water lol. If what you are saying is true then money won't matter anymore and we may as well blow what we have on the things we want now while society still existsl. Also, we may have a global recession, maybe, but the economy here in the US is actually pretty good, that is why we have been having inflation, lots of demand, people have money and jobs, but there have been supply chain and manufacturing shortages which has driven up costs of many items, including essentials like food. That said companies just started reporting their q3 earnings and so far the consumer is holding up way better than analysts expected. B of A and Wells Fargo had an amazing quarters with great deposits and strong customer savings. Society and capitalism isn't ending buddy. And again, if it was your paper money or digital currency wouldn't matter anyway, so you may as well buy what like or take that vacation if you really believe that. Lastly, I save and invest around 70% of what I make for the last 10 years, and live well below my means. Buying almost any Rolex at retail is one of the best and safest investments you can make. Rolex has beaten the S&P consistently for the last 20 years. Probably a huge waste of my time, but hopefully this helps you or anyone else reading this.
I'd be happy if I had a 28K+ Rolex, so I can sell it and use that money on more important things. I'd be even happier if it was a gift and I did not pay a dime for it.
I don't believe the myth that money can't buy happiness ,of course it can, but the problem is.. happiness is like a suddy bar of soap, it can easily slip out of your hand. On my wish list..I gotta get me a submariner..I'd be sure happy when I do.
Point being … that being said … 😂
@Real Men Real Style >>> I suspect purchasing a _$28,995 wristwatch_ makes *ROLEX* HAPPY...😊
Its seems like only watch people will notice your watch.
If it doesn't break the bank then sure why not.
I’ve had expensive motorcycles (ie Ducati/Harley) and sure it’s nice sometimes and they hold their value, but most of the time I’m sitting there thinking: “my Honda does 90% of this and the complements I do get are from people I don’t even like.” So slowly the expensive toys are leaving and I’m left with reliable solid toys instead lol *Goes back to buying Alden’s and Ferragamo Tramezzas on Ebay*
All I want is an Omega speedmaster. Other than that I'm good with my Invicta's and Casio's
$29000 would make me quite happy yes, not so sure about the Rolex :)
Hallo from Kharkov, Ukraine
Happiness doesn't come from Possession Position Power or Pleasure. It comes from Family Community Spiritually Loving god by serving others. 🖖🖖
a 3k rolex for 10k now also made me smile
So the take away is Antonio is rich. Money doesn't buy happiness, flexing on the poors does.
Rolex seems like a new rich trying to impress the other poor (any poor knows Rolex). A Patek Phillipe (or something equivalent) would send the right message to the rich (the club thing) and the poor wouldn't tell whether it is some cheap Chinese or not (without the snobbish thing)...
I love Patek Philippe, as well as A.P. F.P. Journe, H. Moser, A Lange and Sohne, Blancpain, JLC, and other haute horology, however no one does sports watches like Rolex. Regardless of whether someone is old money or new money they respect the Crown.
"it's not about money, it's about sending a message"
😒😒😒i am struggling to get mine for $500 at a pawnshop layaway.
A 30-Large Roller? No. 30-thousand in Class AAA bonds? F*** Yeah!
Nope. A pre-owned Audi A4 with a 6MT. Quatro of course.
Actually, Jesus drove a Honda, but didn't talk about it: "I did not speak of my own Accord" (John 12:49)
Timepieces are tools for financial investment and networking.
I'd rather have that money lol
