In this video we break down the watches from Rolex to Patek Philippe spotted on athletes and celebrities at the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
I would honestly take the gold Speedy over everything here today. That green and gold is a tough combo to beat, and I’m honestly getting over all the Royal Oaks.
That Rose gold tourbillon with blue sapphire bezel & hour markers that Lebron was wearing is a 1 of 5 Limited Edition ! it was selling for sub $200K before COVID hit and it peaked at like $1-1.2M in late 2021 during the hyper inflated stage of pandemic ! Now it’s back down to the $500-600K mark but good luck finding one for sale ! I know of the 3 out of 5 and Lebron will never sell his and CRM sold 1 to their customer in 2019 for like $180-200K and the customer was offered to sell it back to them for $1 Million in 2021 and the customer declined ! And TPT sold one like 12-18months ago & got it back just a month ago and it sold in a few days . So CRMs customer could’ve bought it for $200K in 2019 , sold it for $1 Million in 2021 , and then bought it back for $500K now in 2024 ! Made $800K profit in 2 years and got to wear & enjoy a 1 of 5 masterpiece , then buy it back for $500K so essentially you’d spend $200K and get $500K back and keep the watch still retaining your free $800,000 😂
@chad.alexander Hate it or love it: It is an absolutely slick and pretty timepiece and you could decide for yourself how over- or understated you are going to rock it. But rock it you most definitely will ✌🏾
I'd probably agree with the AP, the rest are either too out there for me Also bruh UP-01 thought they were the shit and then Bvlgari just casually clapping back with a thinner watch, full bracelet, and also actually looks nicer
Im picking the 3 water disks AP which i didn't know existed till now(going to seee how it works but if its like a giant tourbillon that moves slowly around i have to find a way to get it, i have collected 2 divers 1 stainless , 1 black orange, and a 1 of 300 pink salmon anual calendar, which is what i usually wear when i dont wear my 5712, i wanted a 5711 since i was in h.s and loved how it fit and barely weighed anything so u forget its on and the ap annual has the same similar lightness which the divers doesn't have. But yea when i was in h.s a brand new patek was 36k msrp and no list, once it went over the price of a 5712 it didn't make sense to me to get a 5711 , a 5726 is also better than a 5711. Im a movement person with calculated movements with different features(not like jacob&co godfsther music features 😂) and a nice dial and comfortable band course. Shoutout to Gerald Genta
5726 over 5711 every time !! Also I love the 5712 so congrats on having that piece 🙌 I'm not sure exactly how that code 11.59 works (I need to look into it. more myself) but it surely does look amazing, such a unique piece!
I'd have to take the Richard Mille RM UP-01. A truly amazing and potentially historic piece in the world of timepieces. I'm not surprised if Pharrell Williams' hasn't take it off at all!
I think you're right that the UP-01 will be a historic piece for horology. Not necessarily that it looks gorgeous haha but it really did push the boundaries of engineering thin watches. Though it's no longer the thinnest, I feel the UP-01 is still the watch that first comes to mind when thinking of thinnest timepieces!
Beautiful watches😍Make more videos...if I had a choice I would the Augemar piguet 32 sapphire cut with rose gold and the Rafael Nadal worn RM❤😂 love from India 🇮🇳🤗
why LV creative director P Williams did not wear LV watch in this important event but to wear other brand watch? LV watch not qualify for him to wear? If so, he may consider to quit LV job.
@@chad.alexander Fencing is a rich person's sport. It's also a predominantly white sport, so I think it's very smart and extremely good marketing to have someone like Miles rock your stuff. I have a friend that is a super talented artist who's painted cars for Jaguar. One of the benefits of working with Jaguar is they gave him a Jaguar to drive.
i also like the fact that the more absurdely expensive these watches get at the the same time they become uglier and uglier. the omega and rolexes and still kings.
This video is better than most competitions at the Olympics and Chad deserves a Gold for this!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😀🥇
@@chad.alexander keep the content coming brother! Absolutely phenomenal work mate 👌🏼😁
Atleast the watches were good in Paris Olympics
Sooo good! Full recap out next week
Whole olympic was lit this time. Loved it
Olympics were great !! ❤ enjoyed every day 😝
That Omega does it for me
Stunning piece!

Yeah I feel that, honestly after editing the video I was like.. "I'd actually take that Omega" 😂 that piece just looks so sharp!
@@chad.alexander the Cartier Oblique would be the only other one I’d actually want in my collection, that’s also an elite piece.
@chad.alexander Hate it or love it: It is an absolutely slick and pretty timepiece and you could decide for yourself how over- or understated you are going to rock it. But rock it you most definitely will ✌🏾
Bros back with another banger
I’m on that RUclips grind now 😎 more to come - thanks for watching!!
Really enjoy your content and overall delivery.
Glad to hear! I'm still kind of getting started with these long form videos so plan to be getting much better over time 🙌
Love your videos bro❤you are soo underrated🗿🔥
Thank you brother! I’m glad to hear that it means a lot !! 🙏🏼
Lebrons AP is my favorite, but I'd buy that Tissot PRX in two-tone. Personally have the quartz blue-dile PRX and I love it
I'd love to get my hands on that PRX, I'm curious if it's worth the 2 grand? 👀
@@chad.alexanderyeah at that price you might as well go for their big brother longines
That is def the best Code 11.59 I've seen.
One of my favorites for sure! Super undervalued piece imo
great video man, as always
Thank you brother! I appreciate it a lot 🙌
"Who knew fencers made so much" - Lots of people get watches on loan for such events. This is also true for Hollywood openings, Cannes festival etc.
true
I knew fencers don't make that much. He's actually also a model and RM, Redbull, Nike etc., sponsor him
My friend here posting quality content on an event that has just finished a couple of days ago 😎👏🏾
Thank you brother! I'm trying to get these out to you guys asap 🙌
@@chad.alexander And you are absolutely killing it! 😎👏
Love, respect and all the best to you (all the way from The Netherlands ❤🤍💙)
Sacre bleu! That LMM-01's design is nothing to sneeze at 👌
Simple yet still class!
Really love Curry Cartier.
It's so good!
The Ferrari RM is ugly and nobody wants it lol
Yeah it doesn't do anything for me anymore lol
Looks like a wellness center check in tag😂
Very good BUT, it’s about time you show us your collection! I bet you’re gonna amaze us !
Unfortunately it's not that exciting 😭 Just cause I talk about these crazy pieces doesn't mean I can afford them haha *yet 😏
Good vid
Thank you! 🙌
The best value was the Omega
Agreed!
The 430,000 AP has markers so why say "good luck telling time with it" ?
If not the value, but looks I would take the Omega every day.
I'd probably agree with the AP, the rest are either too out there for me
Also bruh UP-01 thought they were the shit and then Bvlgari just casually clapping back with a thinner watch, full bracelet, and also actually looks nicer
Check out that new Piaget as well! Looks even way better than both of those imo 🔥
27-05 because it’s light & elegant
Sooooo light! Insane tech
I like the Audemars Piguet 11.59 Star Wheel.
It's stunning, I'm a huge fan! 🔥

Dennis Schröder making Germans proud even in a watch list 😂🫡
Love to see it
Beautiful watches😍Make more videos...if I had a choice
I would the Augemar piguet 32 sapphire cut with rose gold and the Rafael Nadal worn RM❤😂 love from India 🇮🇳🤗
More videos to come 😁 those are my favorite two right there - probably my favorite collab, Nadal & RM!
@@chad.alexander Awesome choise 😁😁
2k for a Tissot? I guess Tony Parker really loves his tissots.
Lmao ya I'm curious to get my hands on it to see if it's worth the 2 grand..
Starwheel & the Santos for me!
That Starwheel is stunning!
Starwheel and Nadal's RM for me please.
I cannot believe you did not see what watch the Olympic 100m mens winner Noel Lyles was wearing 😮😮😮😮
It’ll be in the Olympics recap video out later this week!
Brother make a watch collection video on Shahrukh Khan Indian Bollywood actor...
I will be! Soon
Well I guess being an athlete doesn’t always show good taste in watches as in the Indian wedding lol
Lmao ya its hit or miss with athletes
OMEGA❤
That piece is STUNNING 😍
Lebron's watch is classy 😊
Absolutely !! 🤌🏼
1:05
Date in window off centre … 😲
Good catch! 👀
Should have checked atheletes with garmin coros polar apple lol
Now that would be cool to see haha
Give me the omega, you can keep the rest.
That Omega is CLASS
@chad.alexander keep the omega and give me a 4-year old S-line A5. 🙄😂
1:49 Giannis what? 🤣
I realized after editing.. Yo I may have butchered that 😂
@@chad.alexander Decent try, though
Lebrons AP🔥🔥🔥
Insaneeee piece 🔥
What watch are you wearing? Wrist check?!
Arabic dial seiko 😎 34mm - fun lil piece
SKIN!
RM 2705❤
That and the 27-04 are my two favorite Nadal RM's 🔥
why LV creative director P Williams did not wear LV watch in this important event but to wear other brand watch? LV watch not qualify for him to wear? If so, he may consider to quit LV job.
don't you mock Philippe Katerine
Miles Watson is sponsored by Richard Mille
True but still a surprisingly expensive sponsor for Fencing I feel no ?

no shot the fencer could afford that RM. prob got it as a gift or some crazy discount those guys are practically homeless.
i also like the fact that the more absurdely expensive these watches get at the the same time they become uglier and uglier. the omega and rolexes and still kings.
Where's Thierry Henry rare patek philippe?
He’ll be in the Olympics recap video out in a few days!
French president can't be seen in an expensive watch 😅 he has nicer ones he can only wear at home.
all i see is RM and AP
Can't go wrong with either one of those
I choose pharells and buy a house,shop,car and buy a Seiko watch.
Ok you're on to something there 🤔
How is the Most Expensive Watch looks the most Cheapest. i hate it
Sometimes that how it goes lol the more expensive things are the ugly they get 🤣
After watching Ambani video I feel bad for this poor people. 😂😂😂
LOL ya those watches were on another level 😂
@@chad.alexander 😂
Great Macron !!!!
RM Nadal watch ;)
One of my favorite RM's !!
Man your accent in French needs improvement
What did I say in French? lol
Is your name really Chad or do you just consider yourself as a Chad?
It's really Chad, but I consider myself - HIM
@@chad.alexander 🤣
Kaur, sikho me lady me liya hota hai bhai, singh laga le 😜😜
@@tbele7344 👍🏽 😄
Cartier tank for me
Can't go wrong with that! CLASS
Vomiting opening ceremony a d insult to humanity of yhe worse Olympics games on recent history
Last one was ugly
It's the world of the privileged.
The best from openning ceremony were the watches. It is the shame of our society to prepare the ceremony like that!!!
The watches were so cool to see! More to come from the games 🥇
That rm ferrari is junk
Junk is a wild word choice for that haha
Rose gold is the most disgusting colour
You think so? Idk I love rose gold
Richard Mille watches are ugly.
