Great that wei koh made it a point to go into how he was able to afford a royal oak at 18. Great job preempting all the negative comments.
Asked the direct questions on any sensible person's mind but nobody dared to ask
Great interview, cool to see that you can be an AP guy and not a wanker.
"When I was 18 had saved up a little bit of money" sounds like the start of the story how you buy a royal oak :P
Glad to see Wei Koh started pronouncing bezel the right way.
Great video! Wei took his interview skills to the next level. 👏👏👏
Sinn has an incredibly strong pvd-coating on top of a tegmented case. Unscratchable (1200 Vickers) and the pvd is super tight
Cedar Canoe Totally agree for the watch case. I have the tegimented U1. The tegimented buckle scuffs a bit after 5 years of enthusiastic use, though. Still my favourite watch, though! 😎
Meeting Wei Koh for a lunch meeting would be a dream come true
Impressive, impressive collection and he didnt even shown his RD2 and 15202BC which i absolute love.
great interview, really neat that a passionate collector influences the brand and vice-versa!
no way he is "self made" lol
its good to have rich parents though lol
Its not cool to be a rich kid anymore
its not cool to be a hater.
@@dingdong8328 nobody is hating on here really ..... is just kids now days called themselves “self made” way too often lol
Someday, will have a Royal Oak - for now, happy to rock Black Bay 58 👍
The Weekend Hack you have the best watch on the market IMO
One of the greatest interview ever😍👍👍👍👍👍
Great interview ! Two legends !
always great to watch your reviews on AP!
“Yo you have to buy me right now” exactly how I feel about the 15500 right now, been dying to receive that call from AP. As Austen would say “Right” 😁
A great conversation about an amazing watch brand, so jealous......
Great to see you are back making content. Thank you.
Bela coleção! Muito bom gosto!
Amazing conversation! Great video
Congrats on the new office! great video tho! just inlove with Austin's Collection!!1 cheers
Austen is as self made as Wei Koh.
He self-made his inheritance.
exactly, easy to be self made when you come from a powerful rich family!
bwahahahahaha especially when they say it over n over 😂. Self made don’t talk my guy.
ianmedium you have proof or facts?
Amazing Interview, super enjoyable and interesting!
Woo, another Rich Kid of Instagram pretending to be a genuine entrepeneur.
Alex K. If he‘s had a say in coming up with a watch for the chinese demographic then he‘s not pretending...
@@robitector1 My point is that he is not self-made but is the son of wealthy and powerful parents. People don't start collecting AP's at the age of 17 while still studying, he's been bankrolled since birth.
Alex K. Ohh yeah that‘s a given. To get there you need to be filthy rich and have massive connections. But everything from there on I do believe is his ‚work‘
@@robitector1 True entrepeneurs take risks. If their businesses fail, they will usually be in financial trouble. Not so this guy.
@@Atombender Agree, its pathetic... Genta would hate all these modern interpretations and the people that adorn them... AP has such a crass, nouveau brand, I constantly question why I keep my 15202 and 15300...
Amazing! Austen is my fav collector of APs. Came for yhe RD2 though!
lmao not even Elon musk, bill gates or mark Zuckerberg were able to afford such watches at 18 years old, their companies were just starting, and they are proven self-made billionaires, but you really want us to believe that this guy had crafted a well respected company, and he had the means and contacts necessary to sell that company to a high enough margin (to whoever it is that he sold it to) and that allowed him to live a life being confortable buying 80 thousand dollar watches.... hmmmmm, ok I guess.
Elon Musk's dad owned an emerald mine in apartheid South Africa. Smart guy? Yes. Self made? Absolutely not.
On my 18th birthday I had enough to buy a pair of Nike running shoes. I was happy. He invested his money in nice watches. I threw away the shoes after 1 year of hard use. Who was smarter? Haha.

Owning one AP is super. Owning more than one throws your entire raison d'être into question.
Nice to Wei Koh pissed outside his head. Smoke that cigar.
This is awesome! I am a big fan of Austen!
awesome interview! Austen is a great guy.
some serious APs here, nice video amigos.
quite telling about the state of AP that AP Collector just means Royal Oak collector...
That double balance spring Openworked!
I am the 444 like on this video and unfortunately not the 66 comments but 67 LOL...Anyway great interview with this young man I truly respect for his achievement and passion for AP. For me, my first AP was not a good experience, a vintage two tone Royal Oak that I bought on the spot and discover later that it was not in the best condition. Took a lost on it...but I still love AP and hope someday it will be again on my wrist ( top shape of course ).
Wei smoking Davidoff- like that. Which one is it? Greets
love the ap concept and that shirt
I need that freaking black ceramic fuck all the other watches
Love them all
"Open work as daily watch" You know this guy is at a different level in horology :)
Great interview!
Anyone know what shirt Wei is wearing?
18 yo and buys a RO #baller
Awesome!
Ps
This is an exceptional w collection
$500k watch... this is the perfect daily beater.
Royal Oak has the iconic case shape but thats it. Most people buy it for the case design. Beyond that, the kind of money they are charging for the watch is ludricrous. The quality nor the QC of the movement is not even on par with Grand Seiko Spring Drives, Zenith, Rolex, and Omega.
AP is like Autodromo.
What watch is Wei Koh wearing in this video?
Kevin S i think its a mb&f
Looks like a Jacob and co watch
Why does this young dude have so much money?!
Either winning the lottery or "selling" a "company" for tons of money where family didn't get involved 😂
Sounds like he’s an entrepreneur who’s worked his tail off.
The Weekend Hack wearing a $80K watch at age 18? That’s like buying a Ferrari as your first car.
Awesome collection but self made?? sure bro!
Great Wealth!
18 years old and he’s buying AP Royal Oak?
no hate but if you've got rich parents that's easy to do
Finally a new In Conversation with video. Keep em coming man. Maybe get Kevin O leary next time.

1:05 motherf@&ckers 😂😂😂🍺
👍🏻
Yeah, what should we do now for “greater China”? This kid’s taste is childish.
🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wei lost the yesyesyes😪
What is Wei wearing? Is that GF?
Swan Htet mb&f
hodinkee move aside please
This "dude's" eyebrows
Have to admit, Wei's MB&F trumps any AP....
That AP 5402... dayum bro, you saved the best till last
This guy looks like your nephew
