great video Charles, some valid points. I agree with the sentiment that the mega fanboys are very off-putting (see rolex subreddit for example). my Submariner is my absolute favorite watch and I hope it becomes a family heirloom some day, but still cherish and wear my other watches just as much. you have a long history of videos explaining how getting hung up on one brand is not getting the most value out of the hobby and I agree! haven't watched you in a while but loved watching you many years ago along with Adriqos and other watch channels, you guys were really the founders of the RUclips watch community
I would counter with the more general any fanboys are off-putting. Have you ever hung around the Omega subreddit.? While I can see the comment in question from the video, I don't see a reply from "Censored", odd name. 😄. Charles said Censored can make a video, and as I commented above, that seems an awful effort. What sub do you have?
The comment that was censored was posted by someone who was a friend of mine, Emett Maxx. His side is that his comment was hidden and then denied that it was hidden by Charles Wahlingford. Emett was then blocked when he brought this out. It's not my place to delve into this. That's between the two. I don't used social media, but Emett asked me to post his reply here. "You know Tudor is Rolex's lower line, but others may not, and this is why I made that comment, which you'll notice was a subordinate clause. I don't know why you think I believe you're "stupid". Please don't put words in my comments. I believe in quantifying (facts) as opposed to qualifying (opinion). If a person wants to debate the sunrise with me, I won't. I'll just wait until sunrise, smile, go out and have breakfast. Let me give an example. Macanudo is the most sold brand in the world. That's a fact. A cigar smoker may not like Macanudo. That's opinion. I have mentioned that I view watches as an asset as well as have meaning to me. Rolex is the most known brand. That's a fact. Its value if bought on the secondary market, not at an inflated price, will appreciate. A Grand Seiko and a comparable Rolex will preform the same, horologists will agree, but the Rolex will have a higher asset appreciation value over time; like stocks do over real estate, though both are equities Those are facts. I have many attributes. Mind reading is not one of them. I'm assuming you didn't have a Rolex because like me, and as I also mentioned in a previous comment, you don't want to spend the $50,000 (the buying history with the AD) to buy a $15,000 MSRP Submariner. For that reason, I go to the resale market for Rolex., but I also do it for Patek and Cartier, my other favored brands, because the asset will appreciate. I want to again stress that it's not just about them being assets. You mentioned that you'd love a Panda Daytona. Great watch. Chrono24 has many vintage that are competitively priced. To be honest, it's where I'd go to buy one, so if you're stupid then I'm there with you. We like the same watch. I also like to figure out problems. It's what I do for a living. The problem was how can I get the value of what I want without the price tag. The solution was to buy vintage. I apply this to clothes. Why buy Asian fast fashion that is inferior, when for a bit more I can buy Henry Poole at one of the trusted wardrobe vintage sites. It's my hope this clears up any misunderstanding that wasn't clear in my original reply post to your needing to give a calculated answer before addressing it. I am glad I could help you produce more content." I have done as I promised. Please do not involve me in this. Thanks, Patrick "Pimple" Smith
The person who is emotional in their argument immediately undermines their argument. Facts should be stated neutrally, and I'm not stupid, you're stupid defense is better suited to two sixth graders on a playground than a rebuttal where the other party has no chance to answer.
@@CharlesWalhingford why should he have to go through that when he can comment? Isn't that stacking the deck in your favor? If for some reason you don't want him to comment, you think this will resort to him name calling, which I have to say your "You're stupid" comment did, or he has, then, of course not. Other than that, if his point is ridiculous, well, sunlight is the best disinfectant. If not, let the debate begin. You can stifle anyone you want for any reason; but as the saying goes, just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.
@@CharlesWalhingford don't bother. I am done with you. You have proven with this, yet again, you are a child, because that's what a child is. When confronted with a premise and a logical follow-up the child becomes frustrated and throws a temper tantrum. We are all born ignorant until we learn. It is the person who refuses to learn who crosses into the border to stupidity . I'll leave it to you to render the verdict in which province you reside. You did give me a good chuckle. I mean, I am truly fearful being banned from a channel that has such a massive reach. Based on our exchange, I can see why your channel is this size it is. Best of luck. One tip, balanced lighting when you're showing your watch collection would help show you respect it and your viewers. Wait, I already have the answer to the second part.

On the contrary, that person can make a rebuttal video the same way I made this one.
