These GQ series on watches are such fantastic: not even a hint of snobbism, just people sharing their passion. The world could use much more of this in all domains.

[@brunoschoelkopf9174]

No hint of snobism? Do you know the costs of these Watches? Collecting luxury watches is snobbism in itself already. 🙂

[@RH-vd3yu]

@@brunoschoelkopf9174 because they can afford it? Automatically a snob?

[@brunoschoelkopf9174]

@@RH-vd3yu snobbism is nothing negative in my World. I would say Most likely yes, automatically a Snob. When you wear a watch that only 1 percent of all people in the world can afford.

[@khalilahd.]

I never really cared about watches but as I’ve gotten older I get the appeal. This is definitely a cool hobby 💛

[@MrZZooh]

A rich man's hobby if you want to get into mechanical and exotic movements with annual calendars and stuff like that.

[@TikyeWilliams]

I like rings and chains

[@kilstromkhrono8949]

as a 20 year old watchmaker the first bit meant a lot to me ❤️

[@miltfresh]

SEEING RHUIGI AND WHERE HE IS NOW, IS HUGE TRIUMPH. I USED TO READ HIS BLOG IN 06 BACK WHEN HIS SISTER USED TO MAKE JEWELRY. HE WORKED WITH TAZ ARNOLD AND HIS TISA BRAND. THEN 2013 THE RHUDE BRAND TOOK OFF WITH THE BANDANANT'S THAT EVERY RAPPER WAS WEARING. DUDE HAS BEEN A SERIOUS TASTE MAKER ON THE LA FASHION SCENE. HIS RED VINTAGE BENZ WAS SICK!!!! AND FURTHER MORE, HIS WATCH COLLECTION HAS ALWAYS BEEN SICK. MUCH RESPECT 🔥🎩👞🚗

[@jjohand6328]

My favourite designer, love the rheworked watches too

[@romeodimba6009]

I see wat u did therhe 😂😂

[@TB11222]

I always love hearing him talk about watches and fashion in general.

[@JTSuarez]

The “Rheworked” watches are a nice idea, I’m normally not into modifying watches, mostly hate the iced out ones, but he’s just adding bits that make the watch have some sort of personality

[@gabes_200]

Can’t agree more on the part of keeping them original, don’t mess with the craftsmanship. Btw it also looses value.

[@PixelPerfect3]

If it's a forever watch I don't mind messing with them a bit and making them more custom. For example I have a 16710 and a 114270 - I change the bezels on my 16710 often, and I changed the crystal so it doesn't have a cyclops (just prefer it that way). I am also planning on modifying the bezel of my 114270 so it's not polished but has a brushed look.

[@patrikdrean7321]

I'm so happy to have "watched" this

[@romeodimba6009]

Me too 🥲

[@quinton3689]

😂😂😂

[@nkululekomtolo2539]

Boooooo! 🤣

[@espowell1640]

This was a great vid indeed. I live his clothing but his style of time pieces are of extreme quality. Watches are one of the best accessories 💰 can buy. Keep them coming GQ👍🏼💯

[@bestevery3891]

They’re not “bust down” this guy is smart. I like it

[@romeodimba6009]

He knows watches not like these rappers 🚶‍♂️

[@Mouzewashere]

he's a real one, always been

[@unchainthewolves]

That Patek Phillipe is spectacular.

[@Jenniferlawren686]

*"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago and the next best time is now"* I consider this to be best motivational quote I've heard in a very long time. But motivational quotes are useless if you don't practice what you preach*

[@JohndJost]

Crypto is the new Gold

[@Keithrandolph591]

I wanted to trade Crypto but got discouraged by the fluctuations in price

[@jacedomingues]

This guy a legend

[@hommefrancais]

Amazing timepieces and humble guy 👍

[@jordanholland7304]

This was a very insightful video. Thank you for the share

[@noahjordan4721]

Been waiting for this one

[@meeh9897]

Rhuigi the 🐐

[@melo6259]

Loving this series. Pls don’t stop making watch collection videos like this. Also try to get Tom Holland next on this if possible, he has an amazing watch collection

[@AndrewNation13]

Beautiful watches, really dope denim swagger too

[@toufikmolla1291]

Whoaaaa !! Nico needs to see these ASAP

[@jsts1622]

Rhuigi has such a fire voice

[@keilahbandstv]

I could listen to him speak all day, abt anything lol

[@carlosgarciasanchez7077]

Man he is a man of great taste

[@adamkimbrough5460]

Wrong pronunciation of AP, but we'll take it lol

[@alexl6600]

Rolex, AP, Patek. Of course.

[@damiendaes7940]

Man knows his watches 💪 killer pieces

[@melo6259]

Does anyone know the brand of the shirt that he is wearing?

[@sylinmino]

This is a nice collection, but GQ, it would be great if you can highlight people who wear more than just Rolex, AP, and Patek. Great brands, but...there is just so much more out there! Henry Goulding's was one of the best you've done and even that barely scratches the surface!

[@rickeybanks7378]

Couldn’t agreee more.

[@KRE8TVT]

Bro make the Batman with a black enamel dial and the Yellow/black Batman logo on the Center. Add a line in a different shade of black or a texture with RHEwork

[@kevinkohoso1085]

Nico would be proud of this collection.

[@georgeancliff7440]

Nico would have a field day with this guy 🤣

[@HillsTatJ]

Defo cool episode

[@siphiwex4216]

God Tier Collection and mad respect for not 'bussin em down"... This man got game fo sho🙌🅿️

[@christopherhouston]

Really like the rhude brand

[@sivab4536]

dont know this dude but he got style!

[@winningcapital2313]

Good series GQ

[@emmanuilch]

thenkss

[@samuelvega4827]

Rhuigi so dope

[@jf9670]

That batman is beautiful. Tastefully modified and still true to Rolex

[@thetruebatman4632]

I wasn’t familiar with this guy, but I love him. That AP concept is as beautiful as a watch gets and when he started talking about being passionate about his GMT Batman and then he showed that he had added YELLOW to it I said omg this guy is a legend. I just got a Casio Duro Batman for my daily and now I have to find a way to mod the yellow in,

[@mwagg123]

Keep these up@

[@ahmadalmasri1792]

Nico would be proud Well idk what he'd think of the custom ones

[@AdamMurrayLive]

I have no idea who this is, but I enjoyed watching it. I disagree with changing the Rolexes, but they are his to do with. Not gonna lie, my heart sank when he modified a vintage and threw away the bracelet. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Bryanpeacock33]

I agree but the Batman with the yellow dial is ugly lol

[@lookatyourself99]

He created the luxury clothing brand Rhude

[@steeky9943]

I told Jay I did a song with Cold Play next thing I know he got a song with cold play 😆

[@menaseven9093]

Nice watch collection,. I think a metal bracelet is superior to leather strap.

Gold is gods currency

[@jamesbyrontaduran3738]

I didnt knw he is a half-filipino. Is he?

[@yogaflames4333]

Now we know where got the money to buy these watches for hmmmm lmfao

[@Cam_LDN]

Hate to be that guy, but they're not crystals on his Yachtmaster rather precious gemstones, also his pronunciation of Audemars Piguet is horrible.

[@dannydanko4627]

Get Soulja Boy next 😂

My new idol

[@ilovegodandjesusjohn316]

Proverbs 13:22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

[@MrWadeBarrett]

Who?

[@MrZZooh]

For a fashion designer with refreshing and eye catching designs, he has pretty poor taste in watches except for the batman Rolex. Gaudy luxury.
