The microphones are MOVED! Don't worry! We just film these videos in batches but it's moved.
What happened to Michael??? Miss him.
My two cents….
The mere fact that he is wearing the “Tiffany” op upside down, with his bucket hat, proves that Rolex put that watch on his wrist.
There’s no doubt that he’s an industry plant!
Probably gets his watches for free….. even though he’s got ridiculous money…. Just so Rolex gets cheap marketing, and hype
Without Michael it’s definitely not the same
Christian talking about why people should buy fake fragrances is basically the exact same explanation people give for buying fake watches.
I disagree with the view on the Fake fragrance thing. It is just like fake watches.
100%
I disagree. Maybe more like copycat? Since it’s like a generic of the same formula
@friskjidjidoglu7415 but is it advertising it is the sent of another company is the question?
right like dint charge your views bc now you got a sponsor! be real with yourself! dont sell your soul to the devil! look like he already did tho!
put mike back in front of the camera please
My preference for sure.
Same
For real
That's harsh, like shoes, some things take time to wear in.
Also please go back to the usual background.
This setup is so podcasty and generic
Need Harris back on camera asap
Is Sam an industry plant?
Bring Michael back please.
Bring back Michael!
Failed to mention that your hero, John Mayer, also owns that jigsaw Rolex...
This dude Sam is confused why a yellow gold day date and ss OP are 50k different. How long did you say Michael would be gone for?
Seems like a nice guy but too ignorant to match Christian / the level of this channel tbh
If they hate Lebron’s collection they’re going to think Producer Michael is the Antichrist.
Christian's tinfoil hat was made by Bulgari, tastefully highlighted with Burmese ruby cabochons, with a likeness of Christian's private school picture done in an inlay of vermeil.
"Two brooooossss chilling in the hot tub, 5 feet apart cause they're not gay!"
I don’t think I’ll watch another episode without Michael
This whole video was just a chance for Christian to vent his hatred of Lebron James. Kind of ridiculous.
Sorry guys. Old set was better. And the mics are ridiculous and cover your faces. Hope Michael features again but i guess a good thing can't last forever. Maybe he's got other stuff on
. New guy is nice, but...
he's behind the cameras i belive
I thought the same when they announced they were changing it hadn't quite got it set up.
The "set" is sterile and boring. The giant mics are ridiculous and detract. The way they are positioned you can only look off to one side, or focus in the middle and there is dead space in the middle. This is a bad set up. I'll leave Sam out of this, but this isn't good.
@@katherinelangford981 I very much agree with you about the set. The older one was just more charming and intimate.
@@katherinelangford981What's the point of having a great background if you can't hear the conversation at all? At least you can hear them clearly now
@@adityahalbe8555 I could always hear them. Audio has never been an issue watching these videos.
I miss the old intro music... I also miss Michael
The OPs go with his outfit. It’s a beater watch for him. Like getting a baseball cap that matches your outfit. If you wear caps. I don’t wear them. But he just got those OP because he likes those colors and it goes with his outfit that day.
T&H: “we dont support fake watches!”.
Also T&H: “This video is sponsor by FAKE! (Fake cologne)”.
Don't see the issue. Oh.... "fake" is in both statements. Sick burn. Not.
you seem intelligent.@@ams914
Who is L&H?
@@bladem.d6029 oops, fixed 😅
Michael. Now.
Michael is the smart not rich guy tha balances Christians way of thinking
Just one question? What did Lebron do to his dude? Why is he pocket watching?
Not how I would have framed it but an answer to the question would be nice.
Guys like lebron hype up watches and contribute to inflated prices. So that’s what lebron did to him and all of us.
@@drkesrfRolex is literally handing Lebron and Brady models that haven’t been released to flash then around, and this is somehow Lebrons fault lmao? What?
I love Rolex. I own 2 of them. But you can’t seriously blame Lebron for hyping up watches when Rolex is the company putting it on his wrist 💀
I actually love the jigsaw DayDate and Celebration OP 😂
Same, I really love the Jigsaw DayDate. It is HATED though. 😂😅
Don’t care much about the Jigsaw, but love the celebration
@@kpkost I have a lot of respect for the idea behind the. Celebration dial but the design itself gives me hints of trypophobia.
I’m a Celtics fan so not the biggest LeBron as a player fan but Christian saying he hates LeBron says more about Christian than LeBron. LeBron is a legendary athlete and an incredible philanthropist. Hating him because of his watches is just pitiful. Do better.
Accepting sponsorship/collaboration from Fake Fragrance (which are clones of real perfumes) is a bad business decision. The same argument they want you to use to justify their existence is the same reason people buy fake watches. "The same function for a fraction of the price." Being in any hobbyist space, you know this is never true.
smh
He buys those rolexs for the price you buy casios, he can wear those watches as beater watch, 10k is not much for him. He wears them on some more casual places, and that's normal
He was a friend of Chadwick and black panther is a whole thing on the black community, For sure LeBron has one.
10k for him is like a water bottle for us
I think there should be one piece of content hearing Lebron’s take on watches and story of acquisition of some pieces before we assume his level of knowledge or understanding of what he owns. We have never heard him speak from a collectors point of view to really criticize how he looks at owning or acquiring pieces.
Why is Sam always checking his phone?
Sam, seems like a nice guy but doesn’t seem to know too much/is really just trying to not rock the boat/ agreeing with everything. Mike is a better balance
and also... I normally love the topics on this channel but I don't think I'm on board with this episode. LeBron may not have the most considered or creative collection but it's his money and seems to enjoy wearing them. Isn't this all that counts for any collector (rich or poor)?
wheres Michael at? absolutely dont feel that guy
Fake Fragrences.
Really.
So copying is ok as long as you don't put the logo of the brand you copy isn't present.
That's like saying Steinhart watches is not a cheap copy of Rolex.
Loose a lot of respect for you on this.
You saying anything about copies or replicas from now on will just be a joke.
Learn words.
TF is he doing on his phone while Christian is talking?
He had notes there so he was being productive, it was my fault for not encouraging him to move the notes to a pad! You’re 100p right it’s off putting though. Thats my bad!
Everyone saying put Michael back, idk this episode had way more energy to it
Looks like he's just color coordinating... He probably has Rolex for each Hawaiian shirt man.
Dude it's Lebron.. what do you think he's gonna wear? A zenith? I'm gonna guess coral op is like g shock or swatch for him.. something to pair up with coral socks for fun.
jesus christ sam BOOZES huh
Mark wahlberg has been rocking a timeX Ironman and he also loves his celebration dial OP. Marky mark is a true collector though, so he can see the good in a steel OP 😊
Put Michael back and turn the camera upside down
I can’t believe your willing to condem fake watches yet will support fake fragrances! Saying they are different is Balls! Fake is Fake be it trainers, fragrances or watches! All involve a someone spending a small fortune on R&D, advertisements etc then someone else Faking it and coasting on the success of someone else! Bit like writing a book and someone else reading and rewriting with different character names and the them getting the no one seller! Wrong on so many levels!
I think sam is an industry plant.... Michael is much more fitting as a "co-host" persay
The black panther AP is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
And fun, so I’m gonna have to disagree with Christian on that take
Just wondering... Why did you say you don't like the guy. Minus his taste in watches... He overall has a pretty good track record in doing most things right while navigating a lifestyle of a future billionaire. Invested in Cleveland & urban education, great father, good husband, great business man and a beacon of character for an athlete. Or do you think it is all smoking screen? Not perfect but overall a good guy for someone that has a lot of money.
Calm down. It ain't that serious.
@@yonchrr I'm sorry the listing of what he does may have given the feeling that I'm yelling. I'm just wondering why people hate LeBron. I have many friends in my circle that feel the same way. I just wanted to know why Christian said it so nonchalantly. But you're right, I need to calm down good sir. Thank you for the checking me.
@@yonchrrit’s an honest question lmao what
I agree with you. He’s not a saint, but I think he’s a good role model for the amount of money he has. Look at most of the worlds billionaires and see how they turned out
@@queensbuilt-timewilltell8200He sucked up publicly a massive amount to China, which is one of the most oppressive regimes in the world. He's far from a good person
I'm a new watch guy and you and Teddy are the only channels you need
Watch out for "Fake" Heimdall of the watch community lol. 17:25 OPs are little steel watches 😵💫. 26:33 Sam realizing that's himself.
Kevin Hart convinced me he doesn't know about watches after seeing his hodinkee video. It's weird to love him and hate LeBrons collection. They basically are the same.
You watched the Kevin Hart Hodinkee and your takeaway is that he doesn’t know watches? Did you have the video on mute ?
@porscherain I like Kevin as a comedian, I like some of the watches he owns. But he basically admitted in that video to having to not knowing that much about watches except for what, 'his team tells him'. And of course his team included the CEO (former) of Audemars Piguet. He's basically exactly what Christian is accusing LeBron James of being but he's open about it. And if I'm being honest, who cares? Watches are toys and guys with tons of money are allowed to like them for being shiny. In this T&H video they certainly sound like haters of LeBron James (I'm not the biggest fan) but at the same time are pumping up Jay Z (what a great collection) and Kevin Hart (same knowledge as LeBron imo) which is likely just an attempt to not look racist?
Let's be real guys. LeBron James is the LeBron James of watch collecting. We all just talking heads.
Why would LeBron need to spend 300k on the puzzle rolex? He could just go and get it for 90. What, do you think he could source one for MSRP?
I disagree about the black panther watch. It was culturally significant movie for the African American community. People around the world from the African diaspora came together and watch this movie celebrating their heritage. You comment tells me your tone deaf to the significance of the movie, the moment, the character and the context of history. This tells me not only are you tone deaf. But AP was the one looking to capitalise on the moment. They saw a business opportunity and went for it. The thus secured the love of a community with a trillion dollars of spending power.
What about Mark Wahlberg?
People like NBA super stars are soooooooo rich that it is really complex to understand why they do what they do. He could just be buying these watches for fun, because he is bored or for some other reason waaaaay less intricate than this conspiracy theory. These people love money - like we all do - but they do not really need to act like a planted live ad for these brands. They are just weird and do stuff because they can.
I think most of us can agree luxury watches is a lifestyle type of thing. Buying anything fake does not agree with that lifestyle. But I’m sure fake dropped a check so you took it.
I’m enjoying these convos with Sam so far. Can’t wait to see mile back behind the mike too. Great addition
No need to buy fake fragrances. Instead, opt for affordable options from reputable brands that offer high-quality fragrances.
Collecting watches is for poor people like tou guys😂
Leave Lebron alone
Well executed topic , good job 💯
I think his hype watches are ones he might care about, the OPs are his daily beaters where he doesn’t care if it gets stolen or dinged up just my thoughts.
As long as we're talking about motives...did Christopher Ward pay you for your last upload at all?
Nope!
He's matching his watches to what he is wearing. I don't believe he always needs a 300k watch on.
He is his brand. the watches are nothing but an accessory to him.
Obviously he's not a "watch guy"
Lebron bought a few watches from my Rolex AD in NY where I got my Pepsi!
You can have RM’s and still like the colorful OP. I have and RM and a few APs, but like wearing my Hamilton sometime 🤷🏽♂️
Christian is funny saying he doubts if Lebrone likes his watches and therefore, could be an industry plant, well, he could be.
However, these athletes and money making guys like rappers just want to be seen with cool stuff, weird or main stream.
They like it because it is cool, not necessarily as a passion purchase. You hear them being interviewed all the time on life style channels and it is all about flexing. Also, so many ppl are now aware of the fact that spending money on hot ticket items is an investment, athletes, rappers and superstars like we have seen with John Mayor, Ed Sheran, Kevin Hart even area all aware. It is sad. Lastly, prices are supported in the secondary markets by bi and small dealers (speculators) as well as auction houses rewarding buyers
If Lebron is paying to wear a watch, he likes the watch. It is ridiculous to think that watches are actually indicative of a person, they are Jewelry that makes us feel good which is probably why Lebron likes it as well. Even if he is payed to wear these watches, is that any more contradictory than Christian doing a Fake perfume ad, something I am willing to bet he does not wear and is at odds with his watch opinions? Let's just judge less.
Jerry Stiller aged like fine wine.
This new guy doesn’t know his shit, please bring Michael back😢
Maybe LeBron just likes watches, when you have that much money a $6000 OP is just like another G-Shock, which ‘collectors’ and ‘aficionados’ have plenty of in bright colors and love wearing out over more expensive pieces.
Also I don’t think Tiffany brought Patek to their knees at all ? They’ve had a relationship (the two companies) for forever!!!
Bring the Zenith loving homie back please, big Mike!… sorry Sam. Chemistry is Awko and the fidgeting around, ie, phone/titos in the beginning made the vid feel less polished than y’all’s standard. Or… redemption round 2 Sam, win us over!!
LeBron is famously frugal. It's more likely he pays for the OP's and is gifted the RMs and APs
Can we get back to having Michael on? Hard to believe you could have something so great going and fuck it up so royally. Pls fix.
Supply and demand…I will say kith used to do some really cool things with ASICS’s.
Daily reminder that these watches are hypier copies of the OG of ugly watches, Invicta
I don’t understand the overwhelming hate on this video and the over assumption of what Lebron knows and do not know about watches.
Where is Anna?
Imagine LeBron being a subscriber to T&H and watching this video in tears 😢😭
😂😂😂😂
I’m glad you bought that up, when you’re close to Jay Z, you should have good taste in watches
This a is fantastic episode and not because LeBron is invloved. It was a great discussion about the essence of watches and collecting, some history, and some commentary of the space currently.
Loved it.
A writer that says the word “like” a lot!
Totally agree, no way he looks at his 10billion dollar watch collection and is like I’m gonna wear the OP! Without a good reason to do so!
Where’s Michael???? This guy only cares about his Tito’s and his iPhone. WTF???
Want Michael back
All the Richard Mille owners will regret fifteen years from now.
The old setup was better. With this setup the shot framing is bad, and the middle of the frame is filled with clunky mic stands.
I see where you’re coming from of course any brand would love to have one of the greatest to play the game be seen in their watch, but I disagree with this take.
I was heavy into sneakers before getting into watches. You see someone wearing a great hype pair of sneakers they know very little about all the time. They may have seen it online or heard about it from a friend. It’s gate keeping to say “they don’t know as much as me or not an aficionado”. It’s ok for someone to buy a watch they like or recommended to them by their jeweler or AD without questioning their knowledge of watches.
Way too much hate on the King. Come on now.
Love seeing more of Christian's real sentiments shine through. A few F bombs. Trashing the of the black panther AP. (Rightly so). Dig the personality.
did you not notice he color matches each of his watches to his outfit? the price and brand seem irrelevant. he just seems to like color
Umm, I think this should be addressed to Lebron's stylist and management. LBJ probably has no idea where or how much these watches cost. He may not even know which he owns vs endorses. This man has never lived a "real" life. Special players haven't touched reality after the age of 10.
Isn’t the through-line for the LeBron collection just hype-y watches. You harp on the fact he has OPs, but they are the hypiest of the OPs. So maybe he has no watch taste at all really but his AD or “watch advisor” friend is just a hype beast and that would explain literally every watch you talked about.
Bring Harris back! What happened to him?
Agreed with walking billboard. The brands are reaching out to him or things are loaned out to his stylist. Many reality shows u see clothes and watches rotated around the cast. Selling sunset is one example of this. I think some of these celebrities have little to no collection at all and waking around with a variety of nice ones. while others have massive collections.
I think your thoughts on this conspiracy theory are very legitimate. We know that the watch companies contacted people that were setting records at heavily publicized events such as swimming across the English Channel, flying across the across the Atlantic, climbing Mount Everest, etc (first wrist watch ambassadors), to show that certain brands were the best watches in terms as a tool. Then fast forward to the film industry maturing and the watch companies are getting product placement and then watch ambassadors in regular advertisements. Currently, we are in an era of social media and most of the public hates interrupting ads. Why not have product placement shown in the personal posts of celebrities similar to film
Jay-Z wore the jacob and co 5 time zone piece of garbage. Basically, a 5 quartz watch in 1 that was ugly. How do you let that slide?
No offense, but the clickbait titles and stupid Fake Fragrance ads are really killing this channel for me. I know you guys want to grow, but you can do it in a respectable way. Overall the quality of your content is 6/10 and is being pulled down by cheap tricks.
Harris replacement texting for the first minute of the video. #bringharrisback
The dealer who gave him the Coral Red OP had 12 the vault. James is a marketing tool.
If you just look good to the pictures with the OP's , he's just wearing them because they match his outfit
I'm surprised people haven't picked up on this much yet but I think LeBron probably got into watches as investments. Jay Z really changed the way a lot of hyper-rich people in and around hip-hop see watches, and I wouldn't be surprised if he suggested parking money in them to LeBron, and he wears them now because he thinks they're cool, but also like you said, to keep hype up and protect his investments. The Industry Plant conspiracy is possible sure, but I think it's more likely that one of his wealthy friends (which I'm sure he has a ton of, in and outside of the NBA) told him about how much money there is to be here. Most of what LeBron does revolves around money and I don't see why this would be an exception.
Also in regard to the collector vs aficionado discussion, I agree a distinction makes sense, but think the word enthusiast is a bit better and has a bit less of a pompous connotation to it.
That's a great point. I'm starting to see a lot of videos and posts on socials about watches being good investments. And as long as celebrities are around to wear these ultra luxurious pieces, there's always gonna be hype around them.
Bro, Lebron can have whatever he sees. Can’t hate that.
100% its product placement. Rolex been doing it for donkeys years. Nothing new.
OMG Sam, put down the phone.
