WORST Traits of WATCH ENTHUSIASTS

I collect fine writing instruments (fountain pens), and within our little community people cringe when a fellow collector actually likes writing with a ballpoint or rollerball pen. Hahah 😂

The psychology behind that is understandable, but the irony of it is that the engineering recquired to manufacture even a moderately acceptable ballpoint pen is quite impressive in its own right.

@@Quicksilver_Cookie Dude, it was a joke. I do prefer fountain pens, but that doesn't mean I would put down a blallpoint. Where's the lack of reading and awareness come from? Can't people appreciate some humor or does it have to be antagonistic all the time?

[@mytuberforyou]

Sapphire rollerball is where it's at. Fountain pens are nice, but it's like comapring a Gull wing Mercedes to a GT3RS. Room in the collector world for classics and modern substitutes that outperform them. You can love a 60 year old Patek or a MB&F.

if you buy a watch thinking only in resale value then you're a merchant, not a collector

[@michaelg8258]

Key word being "only."

[@mytuberforyou]

We don't know the resale value in five years. People think "Rolex", but remember you are paying nearly DOUBLE MSRP for the damn things. And if you bought a Panda Daytona last year you are down thirty odd percent. If you bought a Sub you are down about $1K or 10 percent. If you bought an Omega Seamaster you are just about breaking even.

I have a large wrist and a 39mm to a 43mm . I favour divers hence the 43mm. I am omore cncerned on the lug to lug size and anything more than 48 mm does not sit right.

“Timepiece” is borderline obnoxious, like calling a pen “a writing instrument.” It sounds much more appropriate when a company like AP or Mont Blanc is marketing their products, but pretty pretentious for the everyman to throw around in normal conversation Love this content btw, always a lot of fun!

[@jacobgreenmanedlion1863]

A college professor noticed I was wearing a contemporary(at the time) Omega Seamaster Pro 2531.80 that i had spent a summer working to primarily put aside money to buy, and asked me what the difference between a watch and a timepiece was. I responded, “a decimal point on the price.” I later wrote a well regarded comparison (back in PMWF days) between it and a Seiko SKX781 “Orange Monster” where I pointed out the Omega was a nicer watch, but not enough that that Seiko didn’t knock it into a cocked hat when value was considered. I mostly collect mid-high solid gold vintage pieces these days, but doing it right in life is being happy, and looking down on anyone that manages that is probably proof that you don’t.

Reverse snobbery is much more prevalent on watch forums than good old snobbery. I have seen very few owners of expensive watches deriding owners of affordable, but plenty going the other way… “Rolex/Omega fanboys” comments are rife. Is this jealousy? Like the guys that run a coin down the side of a Porsche because they haven’t got one? As watch enthusiasts we should let others wear what they choose, and do the same ourselves.

[@tpoz48]

For some people life is all about money (poor souls). For others it's the appreciate of beauty. Watch collecting is about mechanical and aesthetic beauty. It's about taking small precision instruments and putting them into a confined beautifully elegant space.

Just because people can accumulate and spend a lot of money doesn’t mean they’re still not douchbags.

[@chriscline6483]

I never buy watches caring about their resale value. Firstly, I never sell any of my pieces. They're all a part of my watch-collecting journey, and represent where I was at a certain period in my life. Secondly, it's a luxury item that I'm only buying because I have the cash to burn and my passion for watchmaking. I hate thinking of watches as investments because it takes away all the romance. Buy it because you love it, and because you can

[@VitalyMack]

...yeah, but do you like the idea of getting shafted after buying a new watch only to walk out of the store and lose 50% of your money? I know I don't.

[@chriscline6483]

@VitalyMack point taken. You could always consider buying used if that's the case. However, for myself, I've always bought new watches and I've never sold a single one. Even if it does not get much wrist time anymore. It's still a part of my journey and so I still keep it regardless. Maybe that's a bit of a unique scenario. For that reason, though I couldn't care less about resale value.

[@zevongrie1402]

When you buy a watch, whether it is a $20 Timex or a $100K AP, it should make you happy. If it makes you happy, anyone else’s opinion shouldn’t matter. But if you put a picture on social media, you open yourself up to possible criticism. Someone, somewhere will not like your watch for whatever reason, no matter what. And unfortunately many don’t abide by the old adage “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” If you are buying watches strictly for getting approval and affirmation from others, you’re going to be disappointed. The one person you need to make happy is YOU.

I can see how European and some American audiences would find the watch/weapon thing surprising. But it's really not. In Red America, carry a gun is totally normal. So for the status obsessed, posting an expensive weapon next to an expensive watch seems natural (but we can probably all agree conspicuous consumption is obtuse). I think what would surprise non-gun cultures, is the demographic crossovers in sub-gun cultures to other more mainstream cultures. Examples: People who are into precision shooting and car racing, people who are into german guns and watches, people who build furniture and also build custom firearms. I derive similar satisfaction from admiring the engineering of a mechanical watch and a well made firearm.

If you have a car and a truck, you aren’t a car “collector” you just have more than one for different uses. If you have more than one shirt, you aren’t a shirt “collector” so if I have a couple daily watches and one dress watch, I’m not a watch “collector”.

I have tons of problems with Rolex for the same reason I have problems witht Harley Davidson riders. HD riders think the only bike worth riding is a Harley and everything else is trash, most of them buy a Harley just because of the badge on it and in the end it is just old technology being used with little to no innovation and their value is being mostly propped by name alone and the reputation. With Rolex owners is similar but then add people that have absolutely no knowladge of watches , movements , nothing. they buy Rolexes out of just showing people they are rich . almost every Rolex owner I know in real life is a jerk that basically bought it to show off and if you show them anything not a Rolex they just shrug their shoulders and say "bro, you wasted your money, no one knows that brand " And my problem with Rolex is the way they treat their customers and make people basically beg for a watch and their ADs forcing clients to buy jewelry and other junk to be put on the top of the Queue. Yeah . I really don't like Rolex and most of it's owners.

[@VitalyMack]

At least Rolex watches work...unlike an HD ; )

The Tag Link watch has a beautiful bracelet, paired with an ETA workshorse it makes a great watch that will last. It's not a luxury watch, but it's a nice daily watch.

[@atreidis3946]

Thanks. I like your videos about timepieces.

[@Cmdtheartist]

I hate when people wearing a watch that costs as much as a small house will look at it after you've paid them a compliment about it and then say, eh, it's just a watch. No, it's not, it's a down payment on a bigger house, it's a couple of years at college, it's an extravagant crazy thing that you're wearing on your wrist, give it the respect it deserves, or wear a Casio. Which is a great brand.

[@michaelvaughan9134]

I’ve been watching a lot of Britt recently. She’s great…but you never forget your first love. ❤ Thanks for another great vid Jenni. 😀

[@tubesteen]

Hating on Breitling and Tag Heuer is just ignorance.

[@Levi_1911]

I'm 6'3" and wear a 36mm Explorer and love the size. Not sure why more guys don't try smaller watches.

[@m2pozad]

Because they lack wrist presence.

[@simontvrner]

Same here brother

[@KJulian]

Good on you, mate. Because men who think 36mm and smaller watches aren't for men and want more "wrist presence" to compensate for other things that are actually small. Bling bling look at my wrist!

[@saymyname218]

I'm the same size, and i've just bought a medium size JLC Reverso. My "inculcated friends" just don't understand! lol.

[@Levi_1911]

@@saymyname218 I just care if the watch makes me happy. Congrats on the new reverso! That is an awesome watch.

[@MakerInMotion]

Watch geeks are a lot less snobby than I expected. I thought they would look down on any watch that didn't cost a fortune. So to see all of them putting $50 Casios on their "must have" lists surprised me. I love my $400 Citizen Eco Drive and most watch enthusiasts wouldn't shit on me for it.

[@timewave02012]

In the US, it's weird to think of a knife as a _weapon_ . I carry a Microtech Ultratech OTF. Having a high-end knife to do knife stuff (open letters, boxes, blister packs, etc.) is very much analogous to having a luxury watch ostensibly to tell the time. Would a utility knife be better? Sure, but a cellphone is better for telling time than any watch. Mixing interests helps people discover common interests.

[@jockdodson9093]

Great Content! The person makes the watch, the watch does not make the person.

[@RModillo]

You are hilarious! Good post. (As for desk divers, some people really do need water-resistance because they sail, waterski, or snorkel.)

[@RModillo]

@jenniellawatchroll6 And how/where should I DM you? Assuming this isn't some weird hacking going on?

[@RModillo]

@jenniellawatchroll6 That is not helpful. Unless you want me to go to a malware site?

[@georgeholbrook1886]

Got to admit I am in agreement with many of these. Wrist rolls and hand in pocket shots really boil my p*ss! 😁 I used to be into slightly larger watches but only 42-43 max.. and like a mug got rid of a lovely 34mm Air King for peanuts... Now I collect Military watches and a 1950's 32mm RCAF Waltham looks far better on my wrist than a Black Bay (and yes they ARE a Poor man's Rolex .. but is that a bad thing?.. we aren't all rich!) I have one of the nicest watches ever made on my wrist right now.. a 35mm 1952 RAF IWC Mk XI The modern trend for 45mm and above is aesthetically as ugly as a badgers ar**..but hey if having a soup plate on your wrist is what floats your boat.. go for it. I used to have a Speedy Alaska project.. and that big red case... man if it had been thinner I may have worn it.. as it was though... I have seen less chunky anti-personnel mines! I am a Mod on an FB Omega site.. we don't allow steering wheels cars, guns or knives...They all elicit comment about the car gun or knife and the watch in the photo tends to be too small or too blurred to see. Yes I love cars and bikes and planes too.. and for 16 years carrying a gun was a large(ish) part of my life...but you want to talk about knives guns bikes cars and fishing rods... go on a knifeygunnymotorfishing site or forum for your fill! As far as snobbery goes.. I am an Omega fan... big style but I can recognise that one speedmaster looks almost exactly the same as another (in the main) and how many 'anniversary models of some space flight or another are we going to see? .. one for Neil Armstrong's first dump on the moon? (did he poo whilst on the moon???) But generally they aren't as boring as Rolex's..now Rolex's are obviously very well made watches... but give me a Submariner 6205, or a first model Explorer, or even the 1950's turn-o-graph....but why oh why do they keep churning out the same boring models year after year after year as of late? I now have 190 watches ranging from £15 to £thousands... and just about every one has meaning for me in some small or large way. good video.. I must watch more of you methinks..danke!

[@singaporewatchcollector6262]

Don’t understand people placing their watches on their food and taking photos. 😂

[@Jeff-fh4cn]

One of the things I absolutely love about the watch enthusiast community is the passion. I may or may not agree with your opinions, but I love to hear them. Much of collecting watches (timepieces) is subjective. I like to hear the opinions opposite of mine. This really gets me to reflect and consider things I might not have before.

[@ron74555]

Great vid Jenni. Very entertaining. Based on the wrist shot of the new Kermit/Cermit, can we expect an upcoming vid on that watch?

[@914Rocky]

My beef with Rolex is the same as my beef with DeBeers. I loath the artificial contraction of supply to drive up prices beyond reasonable limits. That’s why I’ll never buy a Rolex even though I love the watches. And I get that Rolex is one of the only brands who marketing is so successful that their watches hold or even increase in value in the secondary market.

[@jessross6008]

I love my Seiko spring drive watch (timepiece), I love the specs and the titanium case and band...... I could have easily bought an Omega or Breitling but I do love my SNR 033 and I know that it will serve me well for many years to come.

[@nash9625]

Nice - I love that snr045 too. Fantastic watches flying under the radar. I love the spring drive as well.

[@MrMrbrown862]

Better watch in many regards.

[@AndreAndre-yd5gw]

@Jess Ross A future classic

[@marcosnasser287]

Come ooon, guns and watches, what else do we need?

[@verynormalman]

Nice video! THANKS. Rolex is really a golf club watch. Both enthusiasts go on & on & on about their appreciation of these two dull things. Show some imagination, and don't buy a watch that you expect to make money out of. Plus they're so 1990's! Do they do a red braces edition?

[@a_z.tazzzfan8497]

9:12 - - I'm guilty of one of these. I have an IG account & post photos of ⌚⌚ w/various 🥃🥃. I also use a unique & specific phrase to begin the descriptions of what I'm featuring. I do post ⌚⌚ and 🥃🥃 in separate posts as well, finding them to be somewhat boring. So, I understand why there are so many that post ⌚⌚ with other items/subjects.

[@chrisb.h4605]

I always enjoy watching Jenni's videos as she is always so happy, smiling and chilled out ... and that Tattoo is complete class ... as for worst traits .... if you can even call these people watch enthusiasts .. is those who wear fakes ... and act like they got the real thing .. and/or think it's acceptable to do so... IMO

[@914Rocky]

Love the video. Weird comment of the day. Love your pronunciation of German words.

[@zillsburyy1]

rolex looks old outdated and tired

[@brianpercival1829]

Great video. I like to buy broken watches and repair. Am I a watch snob? I don't think I am as I wear the latest watch I fix and could be a Rolex, Tudor, Hamilton, Brietling, Adee Kaye, Casio Ediface, etc. I prefer selling for a profit rather than losing money. I am in NOWAY upper crust, Ferarri owner and Richard Mille owner, so no watch steering wheel pics for me. Timepiece or watch? I like timepiece as who actualy watches a watch? The Rolex I have Dat Date white face was built from a broken Pawn Shop watch, parts to repair, New cystal, new blue balance spring, blue screw kit, new main spring, all in was $6500 repair, and locked away in my home safe. Never wear it outside, become a target for a mugging.
