    Around three months ago, I noticed Kevin was posting more watch-related content online, with his video discussing watches as investments, in particular, catching my interest. After responding to his video with my own thoughts, I reached out to see if he would be willing to discuss this further along with other watch-related topics.

      @@KaiserSoze679 that’s what style is about, wearing a watch that increases in price or making money? Why would you do that to yourself? Lose money as soon as you buy something? Maybe because you don’t buy everything you own to make money and would rather have a watch that you can also use to answer phone calls, texts or pay for things with sometimes.
      I have even worn a smart watch on my right wrist with a mechanical on my left. If the smart watch battery lasted longer I’d wear one more often as they are a better tool and more accurate time piece than any mechanical watch.
      I have to admit I don’t feel very sorry that he lost his collection as he only seems to want them because they are expensive and increase in value.

    I've had my Apple stainless watch for 5 yrs now, and still on the original battery. It has a sapphire crystal, has been clumsily smashed into many metal door jambs, and still looks 9 on a 10 scale. 10 different straps & bracelets for it in various materials & colors allow me to stylize with an understated flare.
    I typically wear a Rolex on my left wrist, and the Apple on my right. Whenever people say anything, which is often, I hold up both arms and say "THIS is a wristwatch, this is an electronic assistant, and if I want to know the time I look left every time." About half the time that starts a conversation about watches, and that's a good thing. At the end of the day, however, they both improve the quality of my life each in different ways, and I've never been afraid to be different.

    Completely agree with teddy's point there, watches as an investment is honestly just a myth collectors like to perpetuate. You really need to spend loads of money before being even considered for one of the more appreciable watches, and even then, if you do decide to sell you can forget any future prospects with that authorised dealer.. in some cases even other dealers if your name spreads as a seller.

      @@DanielSantMont just as how every company wants their stockholders to be long term holders not quick sellers. Think of it like this, if everyone is trying to make a quick buck and sell, the value of the watch is going to fall because no one is giving it long term value. Brands want loyalty from buyers and hate people wanting to make a quick turnover.

      @@DanielSantMont ​ A lot of companies actually do this. Ferrari is probably the most famous for it. Once you’re ‘chosen’ to receive an allocation for a rare model(like a la ferrari) you have to sign a contract stating you won’t sell the car for the first 2 years of ownership(to avoid flippers and for the reasons I mentioned in the last post). Celebrities get in trouble if they break the contract and are usually blacklisted. John Cena got in trouble for selling his Ford GT a few months after he bought it (for about double what he paid for it).

      RickJason No offense but you obviously don't have a big enough collection to worry about this kind of stuff, so it doesn't apply to you. Once you start to hit 10 watches or more, that's when you would have to put most of it in the bank. Then you can simply keep 5 at the house for example, cycle through those, then go to the bank once in a while to switch them out for 5 other ones.

    I totally understand where Teddy is coming from with respect to watches not necessarily being a great investment vehicle for everyone. What we are seeing here is differences in perspective between an industry professional and a pure collector. Jewelry and watch industry professionals, if they are being honest, will rarely recommend these products as investment vehicles. There are for sure better ways to allocate capital.

    It's so true to say it is very hard to 'monetize' your watch collection. I have a couple of steel Rolex's I bought as investments but, despite the prices you see online, the platforms take such a huge % that negates the profit of someone choosing to buy from me.
    Watch dealers look for margins around 45-55% (in my experience) and unless you are buying the sort of watches Kevin talks about - you ain't making any money on 10k watches.

I think that's part of why I appreciate these videos so much... you guys, I mean, its the internet, its "tv" but you guys seem to GENUINELY enjoy each other's company, and man, I can't get enough of that.....

    Hi Teddy. I must admit I haven’t been a fan of your videos so far. Then I have seen the interview and both shopping videos with Kevin O’Leary. And the interview with Omega’s CEO. All in the past days, and I am really impressed. More than that. Especially the videos with Kevin have been exceptionally fantastic, I think not only me but many enthusiastic watch collectors, specially those who are truly interested in deeper knowledge of watches could spend hours watching you guys talk about watches. The questions you ask are really well thought and not necessarily the ones every other “watch guy” on TH-cam is asking. Kevin is also a very exceptional personality and watch collector. And I say that having seen many other guys talking watches in somebody else’s TH-cam channel. Not even near the way you talk watches.

      His point on smart watches missed with me. I get from the perspective of watch enthusiasts it might not make sense, but even I still wear a smart watch occasionally because they provide so much utility. A laptop also tanks in value when it walks out the store, but if you're using it for it's actual utility does that really matter? Smart watches are great for people who work out or do activities where they can't always have their phone near them. The utility makes the loss in value worth it. Just one of the things that bothered me a bit.
