    To the Alpha M defenders repeatedly telling me 'he said it was just a joke video' etc. Of course, he's going to claim it's a joke once the content gets a backlash, and people start calling him out for what he's doing. What did you expect? To me, it didn't come across as a joke video in the slightest; just a bunch of paid lies. It's a shame it's come to this. Also, on his Tiege Hanley channel, he didn't reference it being a joke, just that he was preparing a 'controversial video' - he only talked about it being tongue-in-cheek afterwards. Open your eyes people.

      Because of your blessing of your divine and all true opinion on MVMT watches, I have successfully lend a helping hand to 17 people and counting from out of the "affordable luxury" that we all have to know and love to hate. I have even roped 3 of those people in the hobby of watch collecting and other things pertaining to the subject of watches. I have now become a regular viewer of your channel because I believe that you have opinions and advise that i can use to my own benefit and knowledge, and you also have helpful tips and tricks on other things as well.

      11:00 the only valuable point he's right, look at the ridiculous waiting lists on steel sport Rolex such as batman or Daytona. They are artificially creating demand. On top, you can't say you're not overpaying Rolex on marketing expenses the same way you do to MVMT. Make no mistake, I don't defend the guy, his video is a disgrace.

    • @aswtx75
      @aswtx75 5 лет назад +43

      Hmm. Is that really true? I mean, a CFO isn't going to say buying a Rolex is a terrible investment. Part of Rolex's sales pitch is they are investment watches, so of coarse he's going to say that. They hold some value better than other watches, but to suggest you could buy a Rolex that cost, say five grand, and you will actually make money when you sell it, seems a bit much. Occasionally you might luck out and make money because you have a watch that is highly desired for whatever reason, but most of the time you're going to lose money when you factor in inflation.

    • @TheSalonGuy
      @TheSalonGuy 5 лет назад +5

      He gets an insane discount. A watch you buy retail at $15k has a resale value of about $20k. If you get a $15k watch for $5k, do the math. Not sure of the exact discount as he can’t disclose it fully, but long term they are a good investment.

    When I first got into Mens style I watched videos like Alpha M and Teaching Men's fashion. I even went as far as buying a brand that they recommended. Oh, boy was I wrong! The watch, first of all, came with the crappiest shipping available. Eventually, after 3 months, it arrived in some beautiful packaging. The hype died extremely quickly with the bezel which fell out in a week then the glass soon afterward. I was so disappointed with everything. Since then I bought a Timex Weekender, Casio, Seiko's and Tissot. I really learned my lesson from that experience and if you reading this don't fall the hype there are much better watches under $100 which you will be proud to wear. Stay away from MVMT, Vincero, and original crap!

      Samuel Meredith I used his skincare products for a few months, they are pretty good. But in my opinion, you can get products from brands like Bulldog which are cheaper and have the same effect. And some things he says are unnecessary, like that you need a moisturizer with SCF or that you need 2 moisturizer (one in the morning, one in the evening). You can, but it’s just not that much of a difference if you don’t.

His skin care product and the Pete & Pedro products might be okay....but I'll never know. Because he lost credibility with me. I unsubscribed and I don't watch him anymore. I can learn about chino's and chukka boots and Thursday Boots and dark blue jeans and sport coats from a myriad of other quality channels. He doesn't even go that deep into the real in's and out's or history of clothing. His fitness advice (something I DO know a lot about) is horribly off the mark, and I've written comments on his site letting him know how messed up it is. And he's a gym owner....eesshh. Yeah, he really fell out of favor with me.

    Ben this video came in my recommendation and man, you got yourself a sub.
    1- I never was a watch guy but then got into it, mainly because of UrbanGentry, great channel. After watching it i found a new found bond towards watches (Like cars ;)) something about wearing a timepiece man, not for the attention although that's a plus but it gets very personal. When you address the issue i only can say you have strong moral and ethics intact and they will carry you well as a man.
    2- Timepieces with heritage it gives us a piece of history, the story it tells and how far we have come.
    3- Addressing the "Availability" i can buy a Rolex on a retail watch outlet, Rolex retail outlet, channel partner of Rolex even Omegas for that matter. Movements? never saw a dedicated retail outlet for them, nor any partners, nor any shop for that matter.
    4- About the money, when you get into timepieces you start to view life as a journey, so now i can and am planning to buy a Seiko 5 sng16k1 followed by Casio Gwm5610-1. My dream watches are of course the Rolex, Omega Seamaster which i will own one day. So you see the journey aspect really changes perspective.
    5- When you wear a Rolex you be extra careful about it, would you leave your keys in a 1967 Shelby gt500? or a modern Bentley?
    6- Plus its not negative, its standing up for yourself. Men do that.
    7- "I mean to make myself a man, and if I succeed in that, I shall succeed in everything else" - James A Garfield.
    Take care Ben and thank you, best regards to you and your journey.

    I thought maybe he would argue for the convenience of a disposable watch every now and then, but the fact that he jumped right in with HERITAGE is mind-boggling.

      Checkout James Welsh as well. From the UK as well and keeping it real.

      @@Parocha disagree with The Urban Gentry. he's too calculated, constructed and rides the heritage of his ancestors. his video production and script is good tho. I prefer the plain content a delivery without any BS about anything (heritage, whoiam etc).
      I don't see any hidden agenda in Ben's or MrSmelly's videos. they share passion and opinions, observations. MrSmelly has a wicked humour too.

    No shock is it?
    His videos are almost 70% advert now. You can tell by the title who's the advertiser, infact, when watching I can predict when his next sentect is going to be ''which bring us to our videos sponsor....'
