You don’t need to be a millionaire to buy any of these pieces. I graduated in 2004 and have been working in the IT sector for just over 20 years. I earn less than $95,000 a year. I own two Rolexes, a Tag Heuer, a Breitling, an Omega and I recently added an Audemars Piguet to my collection. I bought the first one in 2008, only two of them were brand new and only one of them cost over $20,000. You don’t have to earn six figures to afford a nice watch collection. Work hard, save and it’s easier than you think.
I always look forward to your recommendations. A few years ago, I bought a Rolex Seadweller Black Dial Vintage 1665 in Switzerland. It was the perfect size for me and had an entirely self-winding movement, which I found better than the Submariner. Now, I'm curious to see how much it's worth today. I'm planning to do some research and might make a profit from it.
Great that will fetch you some cash. *I used to be a collector, but I liquidated my collection to venture into real estate. In January, I acquired homes in Malibu for $32million, and the returns on investment far exceed what I earned as a collector.
How did you grow your portfolio to $32m, I'm impressed, I have a lump sum in the bank, the rates are not impressive so I'm moving it, what's your cash flow like?
I have a financial advisor (trader) she grows my liquid assets and I reinvest the weekly payouts back into real estate and long-term ETFs like VOO and SCHD. I have also started acquiring some tech ETFs, including IITU and IUCM.
Love that Kevin relates memorable moments with watches. I can definitely relate b/c I do the same thing and makes the timepiece that much more special.
I was surprised to hear that too. Not in the sense that he "needs to know French". But for a watch guy, he should at least know how to pronounce it right.
Great to see a Brazilian like me with this kind of success in the US, its impressive the level of content you create! I see your videos since you were playing Call of Duty with gameplays in portuguese...
Alex!! You've outdone yourself again! Thank you for this amazing content and colab with Mr.Wonderful. This video really helped put context or perspective around a market that is for the most part unattainable for a lot of young men of this generation but is realistically reachable if they apply themselves.

got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on MaMaCoo 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.
Kevin loved the Tissot PRX, that’s a great “luxury” piece. I’d wear a Casio Edifice personally for business and an active everyday lifestyle piece. 👌🏼 Dive watches are cool and versatile as well, Tudor, Phoibos, Citizen, and even cheaper Chinese Microbrand homages from San Martin, Steeldive ect. For a vacation watch these Chinese microbrand watches make even more sense, reliable, cheap, elegant, and an expensive watch in a third world country… I’d almost say either a cheap dive watch under $200, or really inexpensive field watch will make you look killer. Or just stick with Casio and Cartier. Couple Casio Edifices for daily wear, EFR, EFB, and an Oceanus S100, S200, and a Cartier of your choice when you really need that exquisite luxury piece. Godtier.
A Dornbluth and son using a Unitas small seconds with well sculpted movement as a start off point is one to consider. But, you have to wait for a year for the handbuilt watch to be done being made. One of them costs about $4500 (euro?). It's very eye appealing. Cal. 99.1
Lol!! Every time I see Kevin speak about watches, it cracks me up. Yes, he has the money to buy whichever one he wants, but the dude doesn't really know much about watches. Teddy basically has taught him what he knows today. Before Teddy, Kevin was just a rich guy who bought watches. Now he knows a little bit more, but not much. Lol
Absolutely right!! I have seen some collab videos of Kevin with Teddy on afforadable watches, where Teddy does most of the talking about the technicalities and he just sits there clueless and says some 2-3 words in repetition about the dial and value for money etc….also Teddy does a better video than Alex can on watches.
I got suckered into this watch rabbit hole and almost picked up a rolex, explorer 2, and I am happy I did not since my first was a Longines Spirit Zulu Auto. Sadly I get the dial, craftsmanship but I miss the hourly chime, set it and forget it of my MRGB5000D-1. I will keep the Spirit as a weekend watch, but pass on the rest, realized I like function over form
It's not a good look. Imagine walking into a business meeting and seeing someone dressed like a vampire while wearing a red banded watch on each hand. It's tacky and makes it look like he's trying way too hard.
In a past Kevin Oleary video where he is the guest and chose the watches, he picked the interesting choices. They were affordable, and others were within reach. Among the selections was kuoe, but was passed over for a very unique brand.
The nomos Lux is the real winner for mechanical watches in that first category. The level of finishing for the price, is unparalleled. Fully in house, including escapment. Anglage on the screw sinks, blued screws, a movement made for the watch, hand engraved balance bridge with a swan neck regulator. Its just a killer.
Great video, very accurate analysis. In my 4.5 years in the game as a watch collector and enthusiast, I collected a lot from amzwatch I was thinking I was able to get a blue SD but I'm not vip enough, but I'm not giving up. Hehe. Great video.
I would practice the names of the watch makers before I shot a video. No one expects his French to be perfect, but being that far off the mark suggests that he is lacking expertise. He would have been better off referring to the brand as JLC.
Thank you Alex. this was very enjoyable & informative!! Kevin O'Leary is the ultimate watch collecting aficionado.. watching this made me "hungry" to start watch shopping. After all, there is a thin line in watch collecting: between addiction vs collecting hobby.. :).
He’s like Donald trump the way he says things in very general sweeping terms with confidence but doesn’t really say anything technical at all. ‘The dial, the dial, the dial’, China, China, China
Not convinced is being polite. He’s a nice enough guy but tbh he thinks he knows much more than he really does re watches. It’s his mate Teddy with the watch knowledge.
He should have picked the Tudor , the Catier is a good option but I prefer a Santos with white dial , for no budget i'll go for a Rolex , High end Tag Heuer , AP or even better a Patek ..or maybe another Tudor
In my opinion Longines is THE best starter luxury watch company. You can get a second hand Conquest quartz for 500ish, a second hand automatic watch for 1000 and can make it as crazy and go up to thousands of euro's/dollars!
Different from your normal content. Awesome switch up with Mr. Wonderful! Dudes a gentleman and aligns with your channel but also has different taste which is cool to see. Great video man!
I heard Jack-Cootra, but either way it was a terrible try. It makes me question his knowledge of watches. My pronunciation is not letter perfect, but I think that I would practice the names of the watches I intended to feature in the video. There had to be at least one practice run before they shot the final video. Kevin always says that he buys watches based on the dials, so I suppose that's the only thing he focuses on.
It really does sound like he is saying that the company was established in the US. I hope that he was trying to say that JLC has an established presence in the US market. Surely he doesn't think that a watch company with a French name is likely to be an American company.
7:17 Thank you Alex to introduce us this gentleman. He really thinks about low-income people, especially in Third World countries. I will follow him. This is the man we want
Been watching your videos for a while now and was inspired to start a collection. Started with the amzwatch, its specs for price and clean looks, now am looking for a dress watch to add.
I don't think that those red bands work with a suit. They might go with a dive watch in a casual/sport scenario, but they look garish. Also the two watch style he has is a little ridiculous. I believe his ego demands that he has that look at me and what I'm wearing vibe.
I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the amzwatch's watches are the most intriguing.
The collab was great, but 22 year olds wearing something for 8k is so unrealistic for 90% of people out there. I mean, people are in debt with student loans.

thank goodness, thought my computer died 😆
I know leary is a great guy but I just wish for you to collaborate with Teddy baldassare
It’s fine great vid tho
Alex collabed with Kevin before the release of gta 6
Props to Kevin for knowing so much about more affordable watches like Longines and Baume&Mercier...seems like time spent with Teddy is paying off ;)
now we need a crossover with Teddy
True
Teddy baldassarre? Would love to see courtney there too
Hell no
An actual watch guy who knows his stuff
I'm pretty sure his wife isn't as into watches as he is 😂
Not sure why Alex thinks all his viewers are Multimillionaires
It’s the goal of building his audience towards growing their mindsets into becoming millionaires…you dream it, you strive for it
You think they want their audiences to become millionaires? You must be monkey minded person who believes Santa exists@@emergencyfood7660
You can afford most of these watches. It just takes some discipline. I’m a schlub and I have a few nice pieces in this range

@@emergencyfood7660 I couldn't afford one at the start but by the end of the video I had bought 3 rolexes. It clearly works

Same thought 😂
There was nothing stupid said in this video. Why do you think he would enjoy this?
Unreal Collaboration✨️
I can already see a dutchman getting ready for this video 🤣🤣
The Cartier Santos and Girard-Perregaux were both really good picks. Cartier Santos at around 5k is killer.

I couldn’t afford these but love looking. Love how Kevin gives his time to other enthusiasts and ultimately help promote these channels.

He also murdered Glasshutte
He had too much Jäger(meister) the nite b4.
He drives me nuts when he speaks about watches.

I'm surprised Kevin didn't pick any Grand Seikos for entry-level watches.
Same. I was expecting $1000+ watches for entry lol.
Or SEIKO spring drive,FTM.
The old angry dude from shark tank 😂
(and the one with the worst offers 😭)
Lol😂 yep you got it

@@SteveSmith-kd9ifyeah I'm a chess bot, thx for the compliment
A lot of these watches are beautiful, though personally I love a minimalistic look, like the Parmigiani Fleurier, great video Alex!
Hey Alex! Thank you for having Mr. O'Leary on the channel. He is a supreme collector. Great guest!
That Nomos has to be the best pic of them all! What a classy watch! Simple dial but so elegant! Great choice!

Kevin has a great eye for watches. His choices and my choices were identical for the three finalists.
it’s “glass-who-tah” 😂
I have a 1953 Rolex Oyster in 34 mm and it works. Wears bigger than one would expect. Great show!

Lots of fun guys. Great pick. Very interersted in the turn off/on Watch Ins too.
Breitling has always been my fav! Gold is cool, just think yellow gold is kinda tacky

Why is the Rolex brand blurred? 😂
Also for watches under 10k; you could pick up a Rolex datejust or oyster perpetual and still have change left over
True, such a clowns. Pick up some useless brands instead of get some classic Rolex
@@aspOLmeR I think these brands are good however for the average Joe who wants a one and done watch; Rolex is a solid choice
I like his suggestions and recommendations that when and why to buy a watches.
He knows his stuff!
Been waiting on this !!!!! 2 legends ✅ Super proud of how far you’ve come
Great segment. Did anyone else notice the scratches on the B&M case?
I like how the blared out the Rolex, but not the other brands. Lol. What a good marketing
This is unreal! 2 of my favourites in collaboration! Liking it even before I started watching! 🙌

Mainly high. He mentions, and maybe has a couple, of low end pieces just for show.

Red straps are ridiculous - they also devalue the watch but I suppose he doesn’t care he has enough money
