That dude is 100% Shawn Ryan's Asian doppelganger.
Shawn's actually part Japanese Samurai....Ninja in the blood
doooooooooood
i c it
@@t.bickle Haha
Came to see if anyone else thought that... 🤣👊🏼‼️
Jewish is the common theme between them
Saw a video where a Vietnam veteran bought a brand new Rolex in 1974 and shipped it home. It sat in the box with all the papers never worn. Appraised for $345k
I think I saw that too, I think it was on Antiques Roadshow. Guy was in the Navy when he got it and was downsizing. When the guy told him how much it was worth he literally laid down on the floor in disbelief, the appraiser thought he was having a heart attack 😅
I saw that, too. Antique Roadshow. I was happy for the vet.
If it was the same vet that I’m thinking of then it actually went to auction and pulled in about $1.2 million
Saw that too
I think I seen that too was one of the first submariner or oyster style Rolex’s in perfect condition with the receipt and everything
To this day, that's why Shawn Ryan wears a Rolex
He's said this numerous times.
Sure that sounds good, but the real actual reason he wears it is because he likes it and he’s one of us crazy watch nuts.
I once saw a video of him, where he showed his EDC and explained why he wears Rolex..
But he said it himself @@myhandle90
AFAIK, it’s true. I’ve heard this legend before about Green Berets / SOF & their Rolexes. I think it’s in a book one of them wrote. If you ever pay attention, you’ll see many, many (dare I say most) real SOF dudes wear Rolexes. Like Shawn. I think Tu does?
@@drjones762 My dad wears one and they used to get a really fancy/super functional one after graduation. It's a dive watch that recharges itself by movement. He's had it since graduating the Q-course about 35 years ago. His wife had it rebuilt for him in that time as well.
When I was in commercial dive school we were all told to buy a Rolex when we started making good money because if you were stranded in some foreign land you could always sell or trade your Rolex for a plane ticket. I actually ended up cashing it in on that very thing.
Is the story declassified? I'd like to hear it.
.

Almost as if you listened to the video.
Commercial Divers get into some "deep" shit
“A Rolex is your ticket home” is the phrase I believe
😮❤
which State's accent is it?
I've worn a gold chain for the same purpose.
The idea of using a Rolex as currency while traveling is still a common theme for international travelers today. I also know ppl who use them because they’re not allowed to bring 20k in cash to whatever country they’re flying to
What about my g shock
@@TNTS8105it might get you a cup of coffee, but that’s it!
@@TNTS8105the most expensive g shock is probably less then the cheapest Rolex.
i'll take a zippo or rolex for cheap any day, you'll lose money but your life is priceless
@@arizonatea3734 There is a solid gold g-shock that originally sold for $70k but commands much more now since there were only 35 ever made.
My grandpa called it his "Anywhere in the world watch." Because he could sell it anywhere in the world and get home. He was army and in Vietnam. Miss him everyday
British SAS have gold sovereigns sewed into clothing. Same kind of idea
Yupp
Looking for this comment!!
Reason is it's well under the radar. It's rediculous to wear anything that brings attention to you when you're balls deep in a third world shit hole!!
Mericans struggle with low key.
British SAS are like seal sisters. Beta males
@@XcmxMccqx They're still able to customize their kits.
@@XcmxMccqx Wrong wrong wrong wrong, wrong wrong wrong wrong, you're wrong. You're wrong. you're wrong. "[...] in the run up to the Gulf War in 1991, Britain’s Ministry of Defence purchased 60,000 Gold Sovereigns from the Bank of England, and then issued Special Air Service (SAS) troops and pilots with 20 gold sovereigns each which they then stitched and concealed in their clothing.
A lot of the pilots in Vietnam also had gold chains for the same reason.
SAC crews had gold coins in their survival kits as well as chocolate bars, prophylactics, and nylons stockings.
Yup, A gold chain would be my go-to. You can't hide a watch underneath a shirt. I guess you could, if you want to wear long sleeves 24/7. Plus you can always break a chain into smaller pieces. I guess you could do the same if you had an all gold Rolex, Just pop off a few links.
😮❤
and heroin....
Thai baht chains. They are like 24k gold and in various sizes.
I was a Special Agent with Diplomatic Security…yes most of us wore Rolex. For that exact reason and because it was cool 😎. Actually mine is in the shop now after 35 years. Still cool, but for the money a G-Shock is the best value around.
Yes, I still wear my G-Shock.
Both are super cool in their own right, but there's something very James Bond-esque about a Rolex 😂
Lol you're nobody.
Spacial Agent. Lmao
Same with the contractor world🎉
@@jesse6760I’m a civilian, I wear Casios because…I won’t get robbed for it :( dudes take me contracting with you. I need a Rolex, for…escaping reasons.
Was stationed in Panama 77-79, assigned to the 475th Trans Co. after making E4 I was detached and sent to the 7th SF for a short while. They needed a driver apparently. I noticed everyone wore a watch and I didn’t. I asked one of the guys about it and he told me the story. Though I don’t wear a Rolex, I do wear a dive watch to this day.
What was the reason?
@@AidenBraydenPodcastliterally what the Asian guy was saying in this video:
It’s international currency
😮❤
Rolex will get you a plane ticket home. Look into the story of the man who was a WWII POW and ORDERED a ROLEX WHILE IMPRISONED, had them send the bill to his father in Texas, and ship the watch TO HIM IN THE GERMAN POW CAMP. This man would later become the inspiration for Hogans Hero’s and the watch WITH ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS and a LETTER FROM ROLEX, was sold at auction a few months back…
So germans wasnt so Bad as they say 😮
@@santtu5594really…
Sounds fake, the Mail into pow camps was opened and read, the watch would have been confiscated. Any names/places to that story
Thats awesome
That's a wild story!
My brother was a GB in Viet Nam in 1965 and I remember he came home with a Rolex. I had never seen one and thought is was very cool.
I became good friends with a guy after he got back from Viet Nam. We both had been going to a local collage, we damn near looked like each other enough people thought we were brothers. It is ok by me since I never had a brother I was from Panama city and he was from Cestview Fl. I asked Bill one day what kind of watch he had on? A Nice Rolex dive watch which had a trident on the band best I remember?. Where you get that? The Seal Teams. Back then no one even really knew much about those guys like today. So, I guess the story checks out that he was given that Rolex. Bill B was just a great guy had a couple pieces of shrapnel in his rear. Is all the damage he got in Viet Nam only to be killed in a plane crash, One night. Wish he was still with us.
@@stemtostern7611seriously, and to die in a plane crash! Which is kind of a odd way to die
Rolex is Jewish. This is product placement and essentially an ad.
Wacha smokin' cowboy? The marque is owned by the Foundation named for Rolex's founder. Wilsdorf was a Protestant.
😮❤
Rolex is king..but back then they were more affordable..now you need to save a good chunk of cash just to afford the entry level one. Worth the price doe
Rolex = currency in sticky situation got it..!🙌😅
That’s a really good point about the currency of Rolex watches. And knowing is half the battle.

@@DirtBallPaul lol Dirtball "fat-fingers" Paul is your new name lmao. Calm down boomer lol
"Submariner Daytona" 🤣🤣🤣
The Daytona in Kill Bill 2 is a terrible fake as well
Right? Isn't it either or not both in one? A Sub is a Sub and a Daytona is a Daytona. I'm confused
Yea he just misspoke
@@Mr.D-k7lya I believe he meant to say Rolex Daytona not submariner Daytona haha
@@snapascrew It sent me down a rabbit hole for sure
I’m on the list at my AD for one! Lol 😂😂😂😂😂🤦♂️🤦♂️
The Milus Snow star was included in a “life barter kit” that the U.S. gave to pilots if they went down in WW2. The watch, some gold, all to try and trade what you have for safe passage. Rolex makes a lot of sense today.
I would bring my G-Shock into any battle! I could get at least $75 used! One way ticket on spirit!
That’s what I wore when I was in the Marines as a rifleman lol, all black waterproof g shock baby
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 🤣 just $ 75
No carry on lol
SAS troops in Iraq had gold coins ( Kruger rands I believe) stitched into their uniform..... there is a well known incident Bravo 2 Zero recon unit searching for the scud missiles being fired at Israel....had several contacts with the Iraqi forces, one contact caused two guys to be separated from the unit. two quickly became one as one was discovered and captured.
Being alone and no chance of finding the others the decision to head for Syria was the only option.
8 days later and several enemy dead Chris Ryan was close to death form exhaustion and dehydration and stumbled on a settlement and hoped it was in Syria, to get help and avoid being taken he produced a solid gold coin to bribe the local man.....he tried to make a deal that he would get another coin when help came, he said it got a little sketchy when the man was insisting on a second coin to make earrings for his wife..
So wether it's a gold coin or a Rolex the idea is the same
That whole story has been shown to be B.S. A fantasy to sell a book. The real story is far less dramatic. And not even a little bit heroic.
From the fiction based section aka it never happened
Actually the Daytona in Kill Bill was fake. The bezel was even upside down 😂 🙃
It's one reason I like wearing a gold chain. Plus, with a chain, you can always break it into smaller pieces.
Necklaces are gay
And make you a target
smart

Nicholas Cage's watch in Leaving Las Vegas... (To the pawn shop owner): "You're offering me $500 for a 1995 Rolex DAYTONA?!?" Classic stuff.
I prefer Omega, personally... not like ive got the money for one, mind you 😂
Omega Michael Schumacher
Don’t forget pulp fiction… your father kiestered this watch? He wanted you to have it? The eagles : those shoes….where yuu been? What’s your worry? What’s your hurry?
Jesus it’s like Ryan’s brother from another mother, his voice and even some mannerisms 😮
Glad you said it, was thinking the exact same.
I was to 😂
@pissedpajamas5718 true, but I think it's more bc they're bald, suit-wearing, squinty eye guys who carry themselves in a very stoic manner.
A submariner Daytona????? Um yeah, this guy doesn't know s*** about watches 😂.
I had to google it just to make sure i wasn't stupid... nope this dude is stupid.
I think he meant to say Rolex not Submariner Daytona 😂😂
@@jessedavis7555 yea it's obvious that he clearly mixed up his words and misspoke. All these people picking on him for it seem to be using a form of virtue signaling to draw attention to themselves to point out their own knowledge because they're so socially inept that it is the only way they know of to do this.
Sad really, all they would've had to do to better accomplish this without looking like a jack@$$ would be to politely point out the mistake, for example ("Did anybody else notice he named a watch that doesn't exist?😂") but that would require better social skills lol
@@remylebeau2357 I guess it’s easier to say he doesn’t know anything about watches instead of just saying he got his words twisted.🤦🏼♂️ I agree with you Dude is a warrior not a robot. Take care
Dude is a killer not some rich twat who cares that much about stupid shit lmao
Why this guy speaks like he narrating history channel
Because he used to be on a couple shows there
I'm waiting for someone to say this was *driplomacy* 😂
Submariner and Daytona are two different Rolex, but the Daytona is fire. Daytona Panda.
Greatstuff... #®️®️Daytona...

He really liked that leather black strap
What was the watch that the guys dad stashed for 7 years in Pulp Fiction?
that uncomfortable hunk of metal was a Lancet trench watch from 1918-swiss manual wind movement
Submariner Daytona 🤣🤣☠️☠️👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸 “That’s right, folks! We ‘Muricad the FOXTROT outta that one.” Your videos are solid gold, sir. Many thanks for what you do 🙏
Can’t relate.
I was the average broke ass, barracks living, conventional, lower enlisted
The way he tells it (Tu tells lotsa stories, lol) they basically issue it to all the Green Berets lol.
@@SemperFi_EDC_Guy USED to. In the Vietnam Era a Rolex was a nice watch but not a luxury item like today, by any means.
'A Submariner Daytona"
A real watch fan here.
I'm not blaming him, he just twisted it up. It'd be like if you were talking about your Chevy Tahoe and then your Silverado, and that you knew someone with a "Tahoe Silverado"
Thought the same thing
Agreed, it's one or the other, but not both. lol
@@Beefry222My favourite place to visit is Barcelona, France and I usually book tickets using my Dell Mac book Pro
I caught that, too.
Favorite time piece is definitely a Patek Philippe and would be one of the minute repeaters
Now we are talking about a serious timepiece. The Holy Grail of fine watches.
There are tons that have intricate complications. A favorite of mine is VC (Vacheron Constantin).
I saw this somewhere. Its wild. Cowboys used to do something similar, theyd always have enough to bury themselves. Something to that effect
There's a clip of a veitnam special forces ret soldier taking his Rolex into a auction. He paid like 1200 dollars back then. He had everything, even the receipt and that Rolex appraisal was 120,000 us dollars
Later sold for 1.2 million
He probably would have paid closer to $120 given them prices of Rolex's at the PX back then. They can still sell for good money though
Rolex most complex movement was done better by someone else 100 years ago. They play a good game but they aren’t top ranking watches
Who is that
U can look at the sky dweller and walk it backwards. How bout Switzerland being a tax haven or that Rolex is a charity. Bruh they play a good game but they all cap
@@differentlystill1846 Which watch was 100 years early to the mechanical ahility of the Rolex? Which one are you talking about?
Full of $h1T!
Which one?
Love me some timepieces. Not huge on Rolex though...too hypey. More Omega and Longines.
Never knew any of this about Rolex ,and definitely missed that in kill Bill lol ,that’s a badass reason to like the watch lol .
Antiques Road Show, old Vietnam Vet bought a brand new Rolex from the PX in 1967's for like $700, NEVER took it out of the box, had all paperwork and certificates, had it appraised and come to find it it was a very rare low volume model, I don't remember the value but the dude almost past out, I want to say it was $200K-$500K. Rolex definitely has the name recognition but honestly there is better watches for less. Navy Seals are famous for being watch lovers too and some of the watches I have seen Seals wearing are big money too!
He had an OG Daytona with all papers and receipts, love that episode
I saw that one. It was crazy
I remember a few NCO’s wearing Rolexes for the same reason when I was in 1st Ranger Bat in the early 80s
Submariner Daytona? 😆
Submariner Daytona?
I don’t know anything about watches and googled that name out of curiosity. Pretty sure those are two different watches right? lol
Ya. He probably just misspoke
SAS and SBS have Omega special editions issued to both back in the 2000's. Omega SMP were presented to SAS Planet Ocean to SBS.
Breitling and Rolex have also made watches for them too
Panerai was originally made for The Italian Frogmen
So that's why Daniel Craig's James Bond wore one to indicate he was former SAS/SBS before going to MI6 and becoming a 00. Cool stuff.
@@Frank-uw5xq The Italian Navy Divers also wore the Citizen Fugu as well at one stage.

Can also be used as a refractive lens 🧿, to act as a prism measure 📐, so that it’s double sided mirror internally will reflect the glistening light produced 🪬, as an enemy scope focuses and zooms in your direction 👁️🗨️, regardless of the time of day, depending on glass composition and quality, once an individual hones in on your location, the rolex will basically send a beam off the watch and reflect it back into the originating glass scope thus disorienting them and while aiming down 🕶️ your range finder picking up their position for artillery shelling.
After watching “Magnum P.I.” (the original) as a teen, I swore as soon as I could, I’d buy a Rolex, and I did. I love it!
Hate to brake your heart but it was a Sea Quartz 30 and trust me I have searched and they are no longer available!
@@marklovelace297 Hate to break your heart, but he wore a Rolex GMT Master. Find the episode entitled “Home From The Sea” (season 4, episode 1). It’s clearly visible as he checks it regularly throughout his ordeal while having to tread water. And yes-I bought the same watch years later.
@@marklovelace297 You can find still photos of that episode where a child actor is playing the young Thomas Magnum who is saluting during his father’s funeral. The watch is clearly visible in that scene as well as when the adult Thomas is treading water. While he may have worn the Sea Quartz as well in other episodes, I was referring to the Rolex GMT.
@@TheBadTradYou are correct! “Magnum” wore the GMT in several episodes. Funny thing about the The GMT, it became known as “The Pepsi Watch” due to the red and blue coloring on the dial. @marklovelace297 has no idea what he’s talking about. There’s always one in every comments section, isn’t there?
Congrats.
Shawn always called it a get outta jail free card, but Tu's insight into its history is wonderful. Also found it funny Shawn doesnt like the Daytona. He's always wore a GMT as long as I can remember. 116710LN.
My old man was in the teams and wore a submariner or gmt master on every one of his deployments. Definitely a thing.
Makes me thinknof the Blood Chits they used to give pilots. Basically a piece of paper worh $10k if you got a downed pilot to safe location.
Helicopter pilots used to tell us about them when they would give us a ride somewhere.
For all I know they made it up just to make sure us grunts didn’t leave them behind if we got shot down. 🤷♂️

Very nice. Kinda like how people used to wear gold small hoop earrings or gold bangles and other jewelry. In case you find yourself in a circumstance where you have to find your way home or anywhere else, you could trade whatever you have (gold is valued just about anywhere) in exchange for passage or services
We all used Gshocks
Still do.
Well Ronin did not, and he's an absolute savage
Rolex is likely more used as an off-duty watch. They are not very precise and especially Special Forces will need something that is precise to the second or you fuck up the mission :D
I hate jump cuts on talking heads. You had 2 cameras, use it!
That actually makes sense. I've read several biographies of SOF veterans who said they always had American 100 bills with them because they are recognized and used by people every where.
Got my first submariner two tone black face for college graduation..then i got the all gold after trading it in and adding 14k still have it gets endless compliments had it for 10 yrs now
Super duper Submariner Daytona Patek. Very rare.
That pulp fiction watch scene makes a lot more sense now
Its a shame you cant go to the AD anymore and just buy a Rolex, today you have no choice but to buy one second hand unless your a big celebrity. Daytona is an amazing watch.
You can, but at the airport. If you want to buy a Rolex, do it at the airport after security check-in while waiting for boarding.
There are official Rolex stores and they just sell you what you want, instead of all the nonsense the others are pulling.
Why ask if someone has knowledge on a brand that clearly neither you possess. it was a ' Submariner Daytona' ? 🤦🏽♂️ two completely different watches used for two completely different lifestyles.
And thats why I always wore it as a GRS agent.
lol whatever bro
Submariner and Daytona are two completely different lines by Rolex, there’s no such thing as a “Submariner Daytona” lol. Submariner is a diver’s watch, Daytona is a racing watch.
Wow! Not only is this episode a lesson on draining out negative energy. It is also a crash course on branding and marketing 😂😂 awesome episode! I was not suprised
Much different today. The Rolex has increased exponentially in price. It's a rich man's watch now. Submariner if you can get it at MSRP is around $8500.
Its true but they were first used for quality by military.
What the hell is a Submariner Daytona? I think dude is confused. Kiddo had a SS Daytona in the movie. There's no such thing as a Submariner Daytona.

Not SF, but a former infantryman. I prefer Omega. The Sea Master is my all time favorite. If it’s good enough for James Bond, it’s good enough for me.
Watches of Espionage did a piece on this. Rolexes aren't use as a medium of exchange like this anymore. A USD $100 is a lot more portable, less traceable, and lot more liquid.
Submariner is worth $10k. And incredibly portable, not really traceable and very liquid across the world
High end watches ($100k+) are also one of the easiest way to transfer wealth physically from one country to another. No one asks a thing but gold + cash will be questioned and heavily

So ill never have one
Sky Dweller is the absolute best Rolex along with a Celini or 1908. ✅
Datejust 2 is what I like. Simple and classy.
Learn something new everyday
This is pure nonsense and part of why Rolex is a marketing genius. Special forces historically wore Rolex's because they were durable and reliable timepieces but now you can get the same in a $50 watch. Rolex plays up this image of holding value and being the same as currency to stay relevant since from a functional standpoint they have no advantage over their competition.
The way he said "leather black strap" haha
I thought I was the only one that noticed that.
Doesn't make sense - the average Ali in a 3rd world country can't verify if it's a legit Rolex or a fake, so he will most likely think it's fake. If he thinks it's a real one, he'll shoot the guy and just take the watch.....
A "Submariner Daytona"? Must be a new model.😂😂😂😂

That's not the point of these watches. They are the man's last and only fashion accessory. Rolexes also appreciates in value pretty ridiculously. In some cases, depending on the model, even much better than gold. Rolexes from the 1980s retailed for $925 USD. Those same watches now sell for $8- $10K. These are heirlooms that are passed down from generation to generation after you've worn them. A Rolex will outlive you, your son, and your son's son. It's a small token that your son can remember you by when you pass it down to him. A watch that you wore everyday to work, used it in all your travels, in house projects, etc. When you pass, your son or daughter gets it. He or she wears it for the rest of their life and when they look down at their wrist, it provides a bit of a reflection period for them. This is the case for later descadants of your family as well. Four generations from now, with adjustment to inflation, that $10k watch will be worth $60-70k; easily. History repeats itself. It's exactly what's happened with Rolex since the early 70s. These are obviously NOT purchased to tell the time. That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Why would you spend 10k to tell the time. 😂 Ridiculous.
I’ve had a few Rolex’s in my day…never heard of a Submariner Daytona. It’s either one or the other.
