5 Things To Know Before Buying A GOLD WATCH!! - Rolex, Audemars, Patek & More!

[@joaquinreigada7998]

I just know Eric for his videos, I never met him in person, but I would really like to. If I ever have to buy a watch I would buy it from him, and in this video he confirms it. Because he shows that he is interested in the buying experience of his clients, he wants them to buy the watches that suits them and make sure that they won’t t regret buying the watch they finally go for. When I hear him talking I see that he is a transparent, correct and honest man. A true gentleman of integrity. I definitely trust him

[@WatchEric]

Thank you!!

[@saymyname218]

A very good tip when you buy a Gold Rolex is to line the inside of the bracelet with strips of masking tape, and replace it every 6 Months or so. This may sound strange but it prevents the soft Gold links from rubbing together and loosening them. I have a original Gold YachtMaster from the early 90s,and the bracelet is as tight today as it was when i first purchased it. (and no one ever sees the tape.) People can laugh but, because I've done this for 27 Years or so the Watch is worth a few thousand more than your average YachtMaster. "And it still looks awesome!"

[@WatchEric]

Interesting idea man!!

[@markinno]

Can you do a how to video to this ?

[@somannacs]

I did something like that to my zippo lighter. Covered the hinges with tape, so that it reduces air contact with the wick and the gas lasts longer than before.

[@mauriebarnes8272]

Point # 5 is spot on. Full gold can land you in trouble. You have to know how and where to wear these pieces. The GMT FYG with the green anniversary dial is my favourite piece.

[@WatchEric]

🙌🏼😎💯

[@Deusmecumest]

Solid advice Erick. Point #2 is pure gold.

[@aaronmcnaughton7018]

One thing you left out on your list of gold watches is that each company’s version of yellow & rose gold looks different. Like an AP rose gold looks way different compared to an Everrose Rolex watch.

[@aaronmj9455]

You couldn't be more correct when saying being responsible and think about how and when you wear a gold watch, especially if you want to keep your gold watch looking good for as long as possible. It's also nice to enjoy them by not wearing them like a daily watch. This way the wearer will enjoy a sense of occasion when putting it on. It can't be denied. Gold whether Yellow, White or Rose, it is King. If you get chance, I'd love to see a review of the 5711R choc dial. Excellent video Eric!

[@WatchEric]

People forget that with more watch comes more responsibility

[@stevestojan]

Eric is in Miami. Federico is in Miami. Two of the best watch guys on earth, with two totally different perspectives. When the hell are you guys going to collaborate?

I know what you are trying to say but don't use the word heavy hitter around Federico....Remember Eric is the creator of the expression Heavy Hitter...don't misuse or confuse the word as they don't pertain to all people. This is true blasphemy!

Of course Rolex, AP & Patek look great in gold but at a substantial price. For great value a gold Panerai such as the PAM 140 Luminor represents an amazing value and is a “heavy hitter” with 44mm of yellow gold with black carbon fiber dial. It has as much or more wrist presence as the others at a fraction of the price. One major advantage of the Panerai is the ability to change straps easily and the great selection of straps available. For example I can go very bold with the PAM 140 on a red Croc strap. Or I can go dressy with a black or brown Croc strap. Or I can put it on rubber for a sporty look and the ability to go in the water with it. Very versatile.

[@WatchEric]

Also very nice options

Eric, I’ve been watching you for years...since back when people were giving you a hard time for your sun glasses. You got me hooked on Psycho Bunny. Back then I had just bought my first piece, a Panerai PAM312. I’m now in the market for a rose gold APRO.

[@drewjitzoo4378]

I like the Rolex Onyx dial. I got all replicas from China 🇨🇳 lol

[@S5King7]

Great video! At the end, you mentioned a Sky Dweller being ruined by too much water exposure. Is that watch not as waterproof as a typical Rolex? Also, is there a good less costly alternative to a rose gold Day-date? I love the look of the watch but almost $40k is a bit of a stretch. I currently have a 2 tone Datejust and a Sea Dweller Deepsea.

[@Maarten_is_here]

I don’t think people who are in the position of not caring if their gold watch gets damaged or not are the people that do their own home improvement 😉 Great video as always 👌👊

Good video. Lots of good gold watches for "the low" that you wont make money on, but will look good to wear and add to a collection. The "take the responsibility" part is KEY. People with money (especially here in Miami) are oblivious to life, parking lambos in parking garages, and getting food at 2 am with diamonds on. Some people, especially now, are starving. The desperate do crazy things. #StayStrapped #LegallyOfcourse

I got the subs steel 2017 and gold 2019. Daily wear the steel. I did wear the gold when I just bought it. But it brings too much attention, you see people watching and calculating or google pricing, and thats a little bit akward in some situations.

I’ve covered the gold section of my collection for now.

I think stainless steel sport watches that were developed to be made from stainless steel should be stainless steel(ie RO, Nautilus, Sub, etc).

One thing that I have noticed is that a thinner watch is less likely to be knocked on hard surfaces than a chunkier watch. A gold watch should be relatively thin. For me that rules out thick watches (no 7750-based gold watches for me!). I have a gold El Primero which is relatively thin (considering the complications). My thinnest watch is a 60s Omega Seamaster with a manual wind movement. It has never been knocked during my ownership.
