Dana Li on Vintage Rolex, Cartier, and Collecting Tips | Collector Conversations

[@adolf-8834]

She is seasoned and dialed in. The Asian culture is deep with watch enthusiasm. Her individual take on collecting was enjoyable to hear.

[@robpelletier2103]

Very enjoyable collector. It’s nice to see people who collect what they love, rather than what others market to them.

[@TORQUEMADA194]

That Rolex is so cool. Hearing that it's been in her family so long and that it used to be a blue dial and has patinaed so beautifully. The best kind of watch in any collection!

[@cdm765]

She exudes confidence and competence. Awesome!

[@acp02091]

Always cool to see collectors with roots to their collections and a little something different going on with the designs.

What a nice collector conversation! Dana is one of those folks that embodies the hobby so well. Good range. Fun stuff. Sentimental stuff. Really easy to speak with and kicks it in with the fashion component. I miss this A LOT from the standard watch collecting community. Say for dudes like Mark Cho, Sid Mashburn and the wholistic stylists out there. The watch is a part of the overall look and charm of the individual and works so much better when it is not treated as this disembodied object. Thanks for the good vibes Dana Li! Cheers to you!

The kind of female collectors we want to see!🎉

Lmfao, this comment is all you need to read to know how sad watch "enthusiasts" are

[@clf1905]

@@AbulAmm ok abul.

What a ridiculous comment

Beautiful down to earth video with a lot of truths. When I first went down the rabbit hole 13 years ago, I bought everything under the sun. I wasn't coerced into anything, I just bought what I loved. 300+ luxury watches later, I now know I can't have everything, and my patience has truly evolved to another level. I literally wait YEARS to get what I REALLY want. My latest is the 2017 IWC non-Genta Ingenieur. Owned a couple Genta's but didn't gel with them, so waited for the modern 666 to come up, damn they're hard to find pre-owned. But the wait paid off! Great video.

Great interview, very well spoken

[@jasongrasso4987]

Really liked the stories behind the watches and how they tie back to her family.

[@matthewgurlitz3514]

Dana, your endeavor is fantastic. Great to reach out to women who are serious watch enthusiasts and collectors. It's a much-needed boost to the watch community.

[@jmbaug1229]

Brilliant Guest 👏🏼 ❤ J.

[@gregburville3368]

Great interview. Fascinating content.

[@Koopology]

Her jacket squeaks are driving me nuts!

[@Joe-yi8xj]

It's hilarious. a comedy skit waiting to happen

[@bhnprksh1]

I had low expectations since most collector conversations with women are a let down; thanks for breaking that trend. A very refreshing conversation.

[@timw5102]

What an episode!

[@craigriley9892]

Women can wear either women or mens watches. They can have more diverse collections than men. Not many men can or will wear a dainty watch.

[@LogicalNimbus]

Note to self: never wear a leather jacket to a recorded interview 😂

[@avmelidor]

Eclectic. I dig her

[@gregburville3368]

Did C'Q forget to do his wristwatch check?

[@talarnaadams4010]

Eish I really dislike that when they do it!

[@YongJoonPaek]

awsome interview!

[@aeolus1982]

Great job CˋQ

[@jamieopulence]

Nice one Dana.. a classy lady! 🥂

[@adams733]

Great episode!

[@mdinhlam]

That vintage root beer is stunning!

[@stemikger]

Oh God, she is so pretty!

[@ongjohn48]

The roses among the thorns🥳

[@mark_n_r]

Since she herself said there is no women's watches then what's her value in all this?

[@bastienpotentier]

Pierre Cardin with Jaeger caliber. Jaeger... Not JLC.

[@minibus1351]

wow, who makes those giant popcorn sculpture on the table?!

[@tomkhong9828]

Pierre Cardin (JLC) is rare

[@bastienpotentier]

Agree. But it's a Jaeger movement, Not JLC.

[@ChristianC-kx3ch]

Following Jeff Jonas's enlightening presentation, this video felt a bit underwhelming. I respect Dana's passion as a collector, but expected to see a collection with greater horological depth. Showcasing more diverse luxury timepieces could enhance the educational and inspirational value of these videos. While the Rolex models were notable, the rest of the collection didn't offer as much horological significance. Elevating the standard for these collector videos could enrich our viewing experience.

[@jayv9619]

Kind of ironic how she made a website based off the industry not representing woman -and her website doesn’t represent men in the same fashion? lol

[@wsinger234]

Insecure

[@kasolist]

Nico Talk!

[@Dr_LK]

Does the interviewer walk at all...😂?

[@dariosandoval5140]

He is a cheeseburguer away from a tour on an ambulance.

[@MTbone7]

Girls are watch guys?

[@hph4833]

Ease up on those Twinkies, big fella.

[@mabii777]

Wouldn’t a female colector be someone who collects females? Lol Shes just a colector that happens to be a female 😂😂😂 imagine calling every guy watch enthusiast a male colector loll

[@peterk1167]

Great job CQ mad respect 🫡 way to hang in there
