I agree with all the points you raised. Just add another specific point that some people explicitly or purposely showing off their watches in public or to their friends and that makes me grinch.
Mark your story about your 1st submariner hit home - I had the same experience! First got a Rolex in my mid 40s (steel sub no date) after thinking they were cool for years, and blessed to be in a position to buy one. But once I did… it made me self conscious when someone noticed, as I’m not one to call attention to anything projecting wealth, just a genuine watch geek. I’m still not over this hump - I stick to the non-flashy sports side of Rolex (still my favorite brand), but sometimes it IS wearing me 😅
I can relate to that, and myself had always struggled with the paradox of wanting to fly under the radar, but wear these adorable watches. I learned to just roll with it, and the more you do, the less the watch is wearing you.
Interesting topic. If I am wearing a 20k watch. I do not want to hit it on a door, or scratch it. But if I am wearing a Casio world time. I don’t want to hit it on the door or scratch it. Basically I look after any Watch’s I own. it does not matter the value of the Watch. I just look after my watches.
I'm totally the same. I try not to scratch even my g-shock if I can help it. Though I'm not mortified if it does happen, Even to a Rollie. Although I've selected watches now that I like, but I'm not completely in awe of, so that helps.
Hype watches wear owners when owners acquired them because they are "hype". The mindset of "hype" is predicated on standing out, while fitting in, and is built upon a foundation of validation seeking and group think. In a reality where there is no "hype" (zero external appreciation/validation) attached to the watch, then it is worn on the basis of subjective personal appreciation void of external input. We can apply this to most goods purchased. I believe we are all susceptible to this to some extent. Great points Mark.
How do you determine that? For instance the new GMT is the latest hype watch..... I like it. I was a fan of the black but I like the black/gray bezel even more because it denotes day/night everso subtly when the all black doesn't. I've waited a long time to buy a GMT and this is the one I want for personal reasons, not the "hype" although it qualifies as a hype watch. I understand your point, I just don't know if you can make it a blanket statement.
@@TheSlowoldman personally I think the latest grey / black GMT is the most understated of them all, and therefore doesn't quite hit the hype levels of say the Pepsi or Batman. It's a good solid choice for a discerning Rolex enthusiast
How about the guy who calls people lunatic because they take pictures of their watches and post them to social media thinking it's any difference to flash his 'hype' watch as a wrist check in a video! 🤔
Aha ! The Seamaster exit video, I knew that I had commented on the 'do i wear the watch or it doe's is wear me ' question but had to have a little trawl to find it. Now then, under your 6 criteria I'm happy to say that I'm still in the I wear my watch camp 100 %. Hype watch's wearing me ?, not a chance although you should know that by now Mark from some of my comments since you started the channel. Thinking along while listening to this one or two ' youtubers' came to mind that for sure fit in your hit list . Good stuff again Mark, cheers.
Yes! Buy that new gold Deep Sea! Wear it with utter nonchalance -scratches be damned! You might still catch yourself admiring it from time to time though. Maybe even positioning it just so to catch the light? I’d argue you can still glance admiringly at your watch without it wearing you. We’re all in this sick hobby because we love watches. Seems maybe a bit stern and unfair to expect us to feign complete disregard for our little wrist treasures. I’m not sure I can define when a watch is wearing you - and you not it - but I’d suppose it’s when you’re acting unnatural and not being yourself. Could be self consciousness of “not being worthy,” could be egotism of “king of the room.” Both are dead ends. No one else cares what you’re wearing. Almost no one even notices.
I check most of the boxes, not all- yet I don’t feel nor think my watches wear me. I absolutely love my watches, I love the abundance of choice I have (54 pieces, soon to be 56), I love the simple fact that I love them🤷🏼♂️. If my watches would wear me- my wife, daughter, mom, brothers- would have said it to my face.
2k is a nice milestone, and certainly more than I expected from this channel, as I set it up just for a bit of fun, and it will stay that way too, but I wasn't thinking that people might actually watch! Thanks for the offer of beans, but please don't go to any trouble. Although its a lovely heart-warming offer ☺
Mate, I hear what you say…..but one of your comments I think it was off base….I own a 24.5 circumference wrist…..a 36mm case watch on it, looks like a little toy……I wear typically 40mm + case watches mostly, and I really enjoy my 44mm YM II, and my 45mm PANZERA Flieger….not because they make me feel manly, but because they feel right and proper on my tree stumps for arms I got…..not all of us, are of normal size…..whatever that might be…!
Yes I totally agree that it's all about proportion. A 36mm watch works up to a certain size, even quite large wrists. But if you truly have a 24.5cm wrist (which is f***ing huge) then 36mm is like a pimple!
Hi I have a 21.5 cm wrist size and totally agree with you and won't buy a watch that is smaller than 41mm and it pisses me off when you send £16000 on a Rolex and have to pay for extra links thanks John.
I currently own two Tudors. I definitely do take too many wrist shots (but that’s slowed tremendously in recent months), and I definitely do admire them too often. Cost-wise, although I could afford them whilst maintaining a decent amount in savings, being a South African means that even a Tudor will be a significant value. A decent house or apartment in South Africa can be had for as little as 20X the combined value of my two Tudors. That kinda gives you an idea. I don’t necessarily feel unworthy, but I also don’t feel like I’m above them. I love watches for what they are and I don’t wear them to show off, because frankly, I’m not a very special person. Had I not purchased my two Tudors, and had I not purchased a few other unnecessary assets, I could’ve purchased a Rolex Explorer or perhaps an Oyster Perpetual. I was also considering a used JLC Polaris. Unfortunately I absolutely did not feel worthy of owning any of those pieces, and the feeling of having that much money in a single item on my wrist was something I couldn’t get past, and probably never will.
Very insightful, and thanks for sharing. I think self worth and jewellery are strongly related, and watches are a form of jewellery (let's be honest) so getting ones priorities right is so important to enable the watch to just be relaxed on its owner.
@@TheRandomWatchDude That’s very true. I have always liked to think of them as cool gadgets that everyone should own (within their means). But as with what you said, at a certain point, the line between premium tool/gadget and pure jewellery begins to blur. I think Tudor sort of teeters on that line, and I think that modern Rolex/Omega are firmly over that line. It may be a bit naive of me, but I personally believe that Tudor watches - especially on the used market - are relatively accessible items. I think that for what you pay, you get an impressive and robust mechanical movement with all of the bells and whistles you’d expect from a Rolex/Omega, but at a far more stomach-able price tag. To me, at least, they don’t feel like impractical items at all. I definitely do feel privileged to be able to have afforded them though. One would’ve been sufficient, but I’m grateful to have been able to grab a second, as it helps curb boredom and buffer inevitable service intervals.
@@dainluke I think you're right that Tudor is accessible in luxury watch terms, and not an ostentatious brand either. Curbing boredom is probably the reason most of us can't stop buying watches. You have great self-awareness to see that, as most of us deny it!
Hi Mark interesting video the only thing that might relate to me is I own some quite expensive watches but when you look at me and my relaxed dress sense ( not the most fashionable trendy person) you definitely would not expect me to own watches like these. People expect someone hoo can afford these luxury watches to be immaculate dressed so do sometimes get asked if they are real.(In a strange way quite like going under the radar because own watches for me and not for someone else) But what is even more unusual is I might not be the trendy UST person but my watches have to be perfect . strange???? So am I owning the watch or is the watch owning me what do you think ???? Thanks John.
Thanks John, well that's a interesting tale, and I relate as I like to wear my nice watches in very informal attire too. I think as long as they fit real nice, and you're not flashing the ice on your dial to attract attention then you are owning the watch, rather than vice versa.
Well, I'm a guy that takes wristshots of my watches and loves to look at the dials, but I don't worry about banging my watches against rocks. Now I'm confused a bit.😂
Yeh I take loads of wrist shots and post them on Facebook! I also don't mind scratches! Some of my watches wear me, and some don't. It's all black magic!
I think you made this video just coz you want that full Gold Rolex in your previous video 😅🤭 ... and no it does not suit you in my opinion 🤭🤣 just kidding wear what you like 😅
To be honest I don’t see anything wrong with most of these outside yes don’t buy watch before taking care of all personal responsibilities. Go buy lux watch to show off why not? I buy steel just because it’s harder to get why not? Take picture of your watch why not? It’s 5k to 100k, it’s unnecessary yes like buying 10k bag for girls to carry your phone. This be humble stuff is confusing
I wasn't saying be humble. You can be outrageous as well and the watch will still not be a good fit for you. Be yourself I guess is what works best, and let the watch just be a watch
Some great accurate questions 😂 .. Most of my watches especially the Rolexes wear me coz I worried about getting mugged in public from where I live so I guess I have a few that dont wear me is my GS and future Omega/Tudor 😂😂😂 ... oh I forgot my Gshock defo dont wear me hence why GOD tier 😅
Is Sylvester Stallone wearing his Patek Chimes I think that’s what it’s called, or is the watch wearing him? Wait a minute he didn’t even broke the plastic seal, let alone wear it and it is already going to be auctioned off! Isn’t that why there are beaters watches I think that is what they are called? THE ONLY THING I KNOW IS THAT I DONT KNOW ANYTHING 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
yeh I don't know anything either! If we knew anything none of us would be watching RUclips videos about wrist watches! We'd be watching videos about how the universe started, and quantum theory! 🤣🤣🤣😍
damn... altho i dont really care about scratching or the money side of things... but taking pictures and posting them around... that got me hard~~~ LOL... 🤣🤣🤣
This is very rare for me, but I somehow disagree with all! haha Maybe your trying toohard to justify yourself and forcing your viewers to believe you ? Sounds like a cult !
I completely agree. As I continued watching the video, I found myself increasingly puzzled by its content. Aside from the notion of wearing a watch that's excessively large or too expensive to enjoy due to constant worry, none of the other points made sense. Concepts like not feeling worthy or a hyped watch somehow wearing the owner were particularly confusing, especially when the wrist check revealed a Rolex. Let's be honest-at this stage, any Rolex is overhyped. Overall, the points just didn't add up.
Mark- don’t listen to anything these guys have to say. You’re entitled to your opinion, and I rather like your honest view.s. These guys don’t even own a Rolex, so they don’t understand. Keep up the great work!
@@jamesnthao1 lol a rolex? naw most likely you dont own a Rolex or maybe date-just... People who just dont care and enjoy Rolex, don't go around youtube telling people to not enjoy hype or hard to get watch. Naw dude i own 6 Rolex along with other hype brands... I see nothing wrong with showing off your watch and taking pictures... Along with many real Rolex collectors and most do not act like that in real life. Most of these are 1-2 time Rolex owners at best getting on youtube giving lesson on how to enjoy wearing lux watch. Let me ask now many Rolex do you own?
So let me get this straight. You say a watch will be wearing you if you are insecure about certain aspects of it. Or if you share stuff on social media. Or if you find yourself randomly looking at it. And then you start the video, how about thay for social media exposure, by saying your Rolex isn't wearing you, that it isn't girly. Now that doesn't strike as something that a confident guy would have to state reassure himself (why even care?), and while doing so you turn your wrist as if you had to double check 😂 C'mon man. Leave other people be and worry about your own confidence.
Plenty of Omega, Tudor, Grand Seiko, TAG, Vintage videos on my channel. Also lots of banter about watch collecting generally. Maybe you're just drawn to the Rolex stuff like everyone else on YT? it's hard to get any traction on YT as a creator without making content that includes Rolex. I'm seeing it first-hand.
Or you could mind your own business and let people wear what they want. “I’m wearing this Rolex and it’s not wearing me” is the cringe quote of the year. “The psychology of watches” 😂 you put too much thought into other people’s business.
Chilllll its a RUclips video 💀 its a hobby, and watches are a luxury, of course theres a psychological aspect to it, he specifically says its just his opinion

The sooner one accepts that no one really cares about what you wear the sooner one will truly wear the watch
This is true - nobody really cares!
Loving the rugged look with the stubble. Wears really well with the palm dial 😂 👍
Keep up the good work.
Ha yes there is some irony there, as that watch definitely did not like being worn by me!
I agree with all the points you raised. Just add another specific point that some people explicitly or purposely showing off their watches in public or to their friends and that makes me grinch.
