Kind of weird to see promotion for a cloning fragrance house 😅 Why spend 10.000 on a luxury watch when for 1000 you can buy a Chinese superclone? Same reasoning, ...

Biggest misconception: you need need a reason to buy a luxury watch. Buy that watch whenever you feel like it! There’s no perfect time to pull the trigger.

Lorier provides great value under $1000. After splurging on a Seamaster, it made me realize how much I love my little $500 Hydra.

[@jackiemoon_lms]

100% agree. My SMPc and Hyperion are two of my most worn watches.

[@timcarlstrand5890]

I can't decide between Hydra 3 and Longines Hydroconquest GMT

Quick correction - first G-Shock came out in 1983, it was a digital 'square', very very similar to many of the square they still make today. They range in price from ~$50 to ~$4500.

[@martyb9297]

I will say, I had ZERO interest in watches up until the beginning of this year (age 29). Meanwhile my father has been into the hobby forever. Def don’t think it’s fair to assume your kids will automatically take interest in your interests. Letting it happen organically is a beautiful thing. Sam was great!

[@Ivyjacksonmoon]

The most important thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that don't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks, Gold, silver, and digital currencies

It's an individual journey, and we all learn in different ways. I, like many of us, have bought and sold many watches, made a tonne of mistakes... It's all part of the fun... Just hope to be a little smarter next time, and really take my time with buying / or selling. Rocking my CWC G10 and IWC Mark 16

[@eveld12]

I always go colorful on microbrands and conservative on luxury. Same logic as "go green with a Casio."

[@george_mowlam]

I wear a £120 gold seiko 5 that I bought when i was 21 as my every day beater hah. I also have a vintage Omega dynamic I inherited and a Tudor black bay 58. The gold seiko is the one I get all the compliments on which I always find amusing. It's great to have something fun to wear all the time and not worry about. Hopefully one day get a day date haha.

[@kickstothehead3705]

My dream Rolex I’m not sure if it exists as an original piece but it would be a white gold daydate with the bark finishing and the howlite -“marble” dial my dream day to day sleeper . I’m not sure if I’ll ever get there but I know I’ll get my vintage white dail date just . Great content fells 🙏

[@verynormalman]

C&S. T4YC. I really don't get this huge disparity between your posh watch, which you hardly ever wear, and some kind of horrid beater watch. Fair enough, if you're going on an assault course, wear a G Shock. But everyday, you should be wearing your main watch. And if you aren't, I am kind of thinking that you can't really afford it. So I use my Pelagos as an everyday, fixing cars, washing motorcycles, cooking watch. But I also have 3 Baltics which get quite careful use. And my G Shocks get various usage.

[@Enterblathnir]

I screwed up my first luxury watch purchase. Got a Hamilton Intra Matic Chrono Automatic in green. I agonized over whether or not I could pull off 40mm with a smaller wrist. Tried it on, thought I could pull it off. A few months later, after wearing it, its obvious to me that I can't, and its not the diameter that's the issue, but the giant lugs they put on it! For now, I'm planning on keeping it, kind of as a reminder more than anything else. I loved the look of it so much I got tunnel vision. I wanted to be able to say "Hey, I got a chronograph on my first luxury watch!" as if people would care. Sometimes you love the look or concept or something so much that when you see it in person you become blind to its flaws, regardless of how glaring they are. But now I know, and I won't get tunnel vision again!

[@Royswatches]

Made the exact same mistake. Now sticking to lug to lug 43mm or less 😂

[@MarioAMM1]

Trade it or sell it for another one that’s completely you. Even of it takes months or a couple of years to get the one you really want. Do not keep it just ‘cause and as a “reminder”. Cheers!

[@craciunu]

‼️ Woops! You got that “Fake” wrong, maybe because it means money in your pocket. That’s not nice. Fake is fake, doesn’t matter if it is about watches, perfumes, cars, clothing, art or any kind of product or design. Every original product has people behind it, investing money, time, energy, ideas, risking a lot, making mistakes, trying again. IT IS WRONG TO SUPPORT AND RECOMMEND PEOPLE WHO TRY TO SHORTCUT THIS, faking that they’re doing it “for the people”. They are doing it to get rich and exploit other people’s work and history and legacy. There are nice ORIGINAL products at any price. Also a lot of good products taking inspiration, but staying away from being a replica/copy. Please don’t take money or recommend fake kind of products and people. Also, keep up the great work. Wonderful conversations! 👍

[@codycurnutte9778]

I didn’t get the Watch obsession until earlier this year. I’m 29. I’ve had one or two watches and wore them all the time for the last 10 years. My dad was a police officer so luxury items like mechanical watches were not attainable or anything I knew existed growing up. I went to a golf tournament this past March and noticed how most of the cool looking dads in their late 30s had omegas and Rolex’s. That’s what triggered me to do some research and uncovered the watch collecting rabbit hole. Now I plan on going to nyc in December to celebrate my 30th birthday and going to a few watch dealers and picking out my first big boy watch. Looking at sinn longines and zodiac since I’m after something I can wear almost every day if I have to.

[@MS28227]

Bought the CW12. Can afford a rolex, and was about to snap up a Speedmaster, but I so happy I got the CW rather as is a great entry-level luxury watch (and my first mechanical) that I will keep as an heirloom for my kids graduation one day. It's so well finished and solid for under $2k (I don't want to hear people comparing this to the PRX). Also bought the Breda Pulse Tandem earlier this year - it's such a unique dial that is sure to be a great convo starter, and it's even helped me bag a beautiful girl who had a Longines hand-me-down. Have a G Shock as well for that watch in my collection that's simple, tough, playful.

[@christofk6063]

Which Brand is the blue cardigan from? .. looks nice 👍 THX

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

NO DICE on fakes

[@robertmcgee6411]

Of course

[@richardt6675]

Charlie looks good, but the Soprod C125 is not a true GMT movement. Take a look at Traska watches, especially its Ventura line. It uses the fairly new Miyota 9075 GMT movement, which is a true GMT movement. So, if you like the feel of the Rolex GMT as the world's first GMT manufacturer with Pan Am Airlines help in the 50's and how it operates by changing the hour hand independently and adjusting the GMT hand with the regular time-setting function, you'll love the Ventura GMT. There are also several other brands that use that movement, such as the Bulova Wilton GMT, Gavox Longitude, Boldr Odyssey Freediver GMT, Borelis Estoril GMT, etc. ETA and Sellita need to catch up with Miyota.

[@ScoobieDoobie197474]

TRUE. You sound like a snob

[@criordan5437]

Why promote fake products? Is it ok to buy fake watches?

[@TheJosephhomere13]

Fake fragrances is more like a homage as opposed to an actual fake. If they call it Tom Ford Tuscan Leather that’s illegal and wrong, but they’re using their own name and formula (most likely). Also trademarking a fragrance is near impossible. I’ve had clients who have tried.

[@juanvacca1759]

The term “reverse engineer” was used by Christian. That is not a homage, it is a replica. Wrong in watches, wrong in fragrances

[@spittinvenom9843]

No, never wear a fake watch, buy an homage in your price range

[@maxjensen8500]

Love that you guys are mixing it up with new guest hosts and Sam’s honesty about how he changed his mind on the GMT but why is the big boy buy always a Rolex ‘cause honestly I still don’t get all the attention they get ? Maybe I’m just still too early in my watch education to really understand the Rolex allure ? Cheers to continued new watch content 🍷

[@DavidUKesb]

Good watches but most of the 'allure' is due to brilliant marketing. Vintage Longines and Omega are far superior to any Rolex.

[@roachasaurus2020]

Is the not being able to smell thing a bit?

[@m.e.p.r]

I think micro-brands are to the low to mid-end of watch making, as the independents are to the higher end. I don't think there has ever been a better time to buy a watch on a lower budget. The micro-brands are able to create things and take risks that the bigger brands only wish they could consider ❤

[@gregoryrogalsky6937]

The fact that your new host never bought his dream watch counts as a fail. If the GMT is your dream watch. There is no replacement. I love my Zodiac GMT. I like the co host Sam even if he did buy the wrong watch lol . Not more than Michael who is also awesome. Holy cow is that he fast and goes for the throat lol

I have to ask. Is Christian a CBA grad? You remind me of my mates from the 732.

[@michelrainville1094]

Best way to « save money » …buy THE watch you’re hoping for and avoid buying any in the meantime. If you get one or two 1000$ watches in the meantime and then a few more ones averaging 500$ or so… you spend a few 1000$´à that do not go towards your ultimate purchase. Got my Omega this summer after a few years of « shopping » … it’s the perfect watch for me and it removed any desire to buy more.
