I love rolex. It’s my favorite brand next to Patek and audemars. I’ve got a gmt pepsi as well as a Batman and I love them and wouldn’t trade them for the world.
Rolex watches are not the best or most accurate watches. They are really mid tier luxury. Rolex use to be the Craftsmen tools of watches for the everyday man before 1980. However, they are the best all around watches in regards to a combination of luxury, utility, durability, prominence, design, & build quality. What makes Rolex collectible is limited production, and the small variations between Rolex models. What these collectors look for is vintage, original, rarity, unpolished in working condition. What adds to where Rolex is as a brand is marketing. Just about every Hollywood movie, no matter how wealthy or blue collar a character is portrayed. You will find a Rolex on a wrist of that character. If you want a more accurate watch there's Grand Seiko. If you want to go one step up from Rolex in terms of heritage/luxury, there's Jaeger LeCoultre. If you want to go to the pinnacle of watches, there's Patek Philippe. If you want Rolex quality (for some arguably a better brand) with an affordable price, look into Omega (my go to watch is the Speedmaster. first watch worn on the moon NASA issued watches).

You have a $10 watch that keeps better time than a watch costing hundreds of thousands of times as much. Even if you bought a modern day Rolex. *Rolex owners: "YoU DoNt GeT iT."* Um....yeah I do. There are some tulips I'd like to sell you.
Anonymous a Rolex isn’t something you buy to simply keep the time, it’s a medal on your wrist which reminds you of how far you’ve gotten, the struggles, and your overall succes. It’s something you buy for yourself when you’ve accomplished something truly unique and spectacular. That’s why people buy rolexes. And you just have to be into watches, AP, Patek, Jaeger, I could go on all day.
That radium-226 lumed Rolex wouldn't be of concern. You can wear it, and be just fine. Just don't open it and intentionally ingest or inhale the lume. Using the inverse square law, when you move away from it, the radiation flux decreases exponentially. Also, he had a pretty cheap dosimeter. A Ludlum model 12 or an Inspector USB Geiger-Müller counter would be far better! Also, always measure in counts/minute or counts/second, AKA CPM or CPS, NOT μSv/h or mR/h, UNLESS it's calibrated to the same radionuclide that your source is that you're measuring! I see this happen far too much. I collect radioactive sources, and watches are just one of them. No, I don't have a Rolex yet. I'd rather have a Patek Phillipe, with radium of course. But, I doubt that I could ever afford one or the other anyway. So, yeah. Don't scrap your radium watches! Sell them, if you're that concerned.

They are beyond Rolex. Rolex is mid tier luxury compared to what Rap artists are wearing. Check out Hodinkee RUclips channel you'll see Praz a serious & respected watch collector.
I want to know prices🤷♀️it's annoying when people act like money is no big deal to them, but they're at an event that's all about consumerism and luxury goods
If you're $10,000 watch is indistinguishable from a Chinese copy.... And if you have to take it to the store to validated and see if it's original or not..... Mmmhhh maybe you pay too much
800$ is a drop in the ocean compared to the money they’ve spent on their collections, and an even smaller drop in the ocean compared to the assets they own altogether. They’re passionate about collecting vintage timepieces the same as some are passionate about collecting vintage cars. Do people drive their collector cars everyday? No.
This feels so awkward to watch, feels like I'm watching two robots host a show
Um no. They did a good job. If you can do better, then put up your own video.
@@bigmacdaddy1234 It's an opinion. Do you have to be a chef to say you don't like the food?
Looks like a good opportunity for a thief. They may all be “friends,” but who’s watching the door?
BELL TUNNEL I thought the same , you smart enough you can switch a replica and leave with the real one .
Invite only and 850 ticket price . thieves wouldn't even hear about it . having said that never trust a slippery Asian ;-)
Some people are always thinking about stealing
You can just walk off of one of those watches easy there’s so many of them
I would never leave my rolex watch laying on a table surrounded by hundreds of people.
You've clearly never been on a Watch lovers GTG :)
@@WatchGeek correct.

I used to complain about not being able to afford a watch, until I met the man with no arms.
Thats really deep. also changed my prespective, thanks for sharing.
Wonderful to see such trust amongst gentlemen .
And love for time pieces . Creative regards B20

Agreed! However, I like radium watches! I collect them. I don't wear them a lot, even though the dose is actually pretty low.
Phuckers!
So says a person with nary a Rolex on his wrist.

@@samadrid6321 I own several vintage Rolex watches. What's your point?
Um....a $500,000 watch? Wow...and I thought trying on a $15,000 Rolex was cool. Now, as a Pepsi collector myself....I'd like the Pepsi Rolex...

Not a Rolex fanboy & dont own one, but your comment makes it quite obvious you really dont get it.

You guys just wanted to use the word "sexpile".
They used it right tho
2:45 peep the chick lmao
Yup, eye candy on demand :)
How do you prove that one is yours when you leave?
People could steal one or two of those way too easily
Skyler you don’t steal st this place and get away with it. Bid a very tight community. Getting busted selling a stolen watch is beyond low
Roger Alvarado you’d be surprised
None are messing but someone has done a switcheroo with a fake
These two are so weird!
Cheapen the event by obsessing about money. One guy tried to drop a helpful hint..SMH..
Would love to go to an event like that.
couldn't even see the double "swiss"
My boy Cam from @craftandtailored all over this video!
Bunch of awkward characters in there, definitely a unique group of special invites.

Rolex is king🔥👑

I just want to know how someone doesn't take another identical watch home compared to theirs
Jbyrd lottery doesn't understand what happened to my invite 🤔 I would love to attend this event..... just so I could get up and leave 🤫🤫🤫
i was there. im not buying anything. just hangout and having good time. if you new, just buy vostok. it have same quality
The milllgaausssss 😍
swiss made watch, you pay 80% brand name and 20% for the watch.
the watcher they’re an investment tbh, they go up in price after a while and you get more money than what you started with.
Not very secret anymore huh
Beanie babies for rich guys.
Sexpile would be an accurate description
Not viewing, just here to inflate my ego by mocking theirs.
Rolex bought their watch back.

A GMT Pepsi on a lady? No way.

Strange choice in words but after watching various episodes over two days, I’d say strange choice in a lot of things. #weird
Where’s all the rappers?
They are beyond Rolex. Rolex is mid tier luxury compared to what Rap artists are wearing. Check out Hodinkee RUclips channel you'll see Praz a serious & respected watch collector.
Rappers buy new Rolex or AP, they don't know much about vintage Rolex.
is this a joke?
No joke, welcome to the wonderful world of wristwatches.

I feel poor now.
Pepsi fits a ladies wrist perfectly? Tfo here! Way too big

For the love of money is the root of all evil. 1 Timothy 6:10.
yes very evil people lol, anyone who is successful will always be critictized
Non of these rolax is worth $200 after you take a sledge hammer to them,, all the "value" is sentimental hype
because they like the idea that had something you can auction off...
Cash bills don't have any value after you take some kerosene and a lighter to them,, all the "value" is sentimental hype
Lame CNBC. So contrived!
800 dollars ticket entrance fee just to look at some watches American Greed
is a live a rather wear a normal watch then a 500000 thousand one
anyone who successful enough in life to do the thing they dream of doing are always criticized , that pretty sad.
