You don’t need to be a millionaire to buy any of these pieces. I graduated in 2004 and have been working in the IT sector for just over 20 years. I earn less than $95,000 a year. I own two Rolexes, a Tag Heuer, a Breitling, an Omega and I recently added an Audemars Piguet to my collection. I bought the first one in 2008, only two of them were brand new and only one of them cost over $20,000. You don’t have to earn six figures to afford a nice watch collection. Work hard, save and it’s easier than you think.
I always look forward to your recommendations. A few years ago, I bought a Rolex Seadweller Black Dial Vintage 1665 in Switzerland. It was the perfect size for me and had an entirely self-winding movement, which I found better than the Submariner. Now, I'm curious to see how much it's worth today. I'm planning to do some research and might make a profit from it.
Great that will fetch you some cash. *I used to be a collector, but I liquidated my collection to venture into real estate. In January, I acquired homes in Malibu for $32million, and the returns on investment far exceed what I earned as a collector.
How did you grow your portfolio to $32m, I'm impressed, I have a lump sum in the bank, the rates are not impressive so I'm moving it, what's your cash flow like?
I have a financial advisor (trader) she grows my liquid assets and I reinvest the weekly payouts back into real estate and long-term ETFs like VOO and SCHD. I have also started acquiring some tech ETFs, including IITU and IUCM.
Love that Kevin relates memorable moments with watches. I can definitely relate b/c I do the same thing and makes the timepiece that much more special.
He’s like Donald trump the way he says things in very general sweeping terms with confidence but doesn’t really say anything technical at all. ‘The dial, the dial, the dial’, China, China, China
Not convinced is being polite. He’s a nice enough guy but tbh he thinks he knows much more than he really does re watches. It’s his mate Teddy with the watch knowledge.
got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on MaMaCoo 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.
A Dornbluth and son using a Unitas small seconds with well sculpted movement as a start off point is one to consider. But, you have to wait for a year for the handbuilt watch to be done being made. One of them costs about $4500 (euro?). It's very eye appealing. Cal. 99.1
It's not a good look. Imagine walking into a business meeting and seeing someone dressed like a vampire while wearing a red banded watch on each hand. It's tacky and makes it look like he's trying way too hard.
I got suckered into this watch rabbit hole and almost picked up a rolex, explorer 2, and I am happy I did not since my first was a Longines Spirit Zulu Auto. Sadly I get the dial, craftsmanship but I miss the hourly chime, set it and forget it of my MRGB5000D-1. I will keep the Spirit as a weekend watch, but pass on the rest, realized I like function over form
Lol!! Every time I see Kevin speak about watches, it cracks me up. Yes, he has the money to buy whichever one he wants, but the dude doesn't really know much about watches. Teddy basically has taught him what he knows today. Before Teddy, Kevin was just a rich guy who bought watches. Now he knows a little bit more, but not much. Lol
Absolutely right!! I have seen some collab videos of Kevin with Teddy on afforadable watches, where Teddy does most of the talking about the technicalities and he just sits there clueless and says some 2-3 words in repetition about the dial and value for money etc….also Teddy does a better video than Alex can on watches.
The nomos Lux is the real winner for mechanical watches in that first category. The level of finishing for the price, is unparalleled. Fully in house, including escapment. Anglage on the screw sinks, blued screws, a movement made for the watch, hand engraved balance bridge with a swan neck regulator. Its just a killer.
Great to see a Brazilian like me with this kind of success in the US, its impressive the level of content you create! I see your videos since you were playing Call of Duty with gameplays in portuguese...
Alex!! You've outdone yourself again! Thank you for this amazing content and colab with Mr.Wonderful. This video really helped put context or perspective around a market that is for the most part unattainable for a lot of young men of this generation but is realistically reachable if they apply themselves.

In a past Kevin Oleary video where he is the guest and chose the watches, he picked the interesting choices. They were affordable, and others were within reach. Among the selections was kuoe, but was passed over for a very unique brand.
In my opinion Longines is THE best starter luxury watch company. You can get a second hand Conquest quartz for 500ish, a second hand automatic watch for 1000 and can make it as crazy and go up to thousands of euro's/dollars!
He should have picked the Tudor , the Catier is a good option but I prefer a Santos with white dial , for no budget i'll go for a Rolex , High end Tag Heuer , AP or even better a Patek ..or maybe another Tudor
I'm happy for anybody who like me loves watches but it's amazing how easy it is to spot a person who knows nothing about watches or horology and many make the mistake of thinking that if you like watches you like horology ......nah spotting the obvious does not make an expert
I absolutely love watches, the high end watch brands are out of my budget but the amzwatch has literally an almost duplicate of every single watch on the market . Always a great but no matter your budget.
The collab was great, but 22 year olds wearing something for 8k is so unrealistic for 90% of people out there. I mean, people are in debt with student loans.
7:17 Thank you Alex to introduce us this gentleman. He really thinks about low-income people, especially in Third World countries. I will follow him. This is the man we want
Different from your normal content. Awesome switch up with Mr. Wonderful! Dudes a gentleman and aligns with your channel but also has different taste which is cool to see. Great video man!
I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the amzwatch's watches are the most intriguing.
Buy three Baltic watches and invest the money you save. Their watch designs are better than any of the nine watches profiled here, although the Tudor is nice.
Thank you Alex. this was very enjoyable & informative!! Kevin O'Leary is the ultimate watch collecting aficionado.. watching this made me "hungry" to start watch shopping. After all, there is a thin line in watch collecting: between addiction vs collecting hobby.. :).

My apologies for the editing mistake at 3:55
Thank you for watching!

thank goodness, thought my computer died 😆
I know leary is a great guy but I just wish for you to collaborate with Teddy baldassare
It’s fine great vid tho
Alex collabed with Kevin before the release of gta 6
Props to Kevin for knowing so much about more affordable watches like Longines and Baume&Mercier...seems like time spent with Teddy is paying off ;)
Not sure why Alex thinks all his viewers are Multimillionaires
It’s the goal of building his audience towards growing their mindsets into becoming millionaires…you dream it, you strive for it
You think they want their audiences to become millionaires? You must be monkey minded person who believes Santa exists@@emergencyfood7660
You can afford most of these watches. It just takes some discipline. I’m a schlub and I have a few nice pieces in this range

@@emergencyfood7660 I couldn't afford one at the start but by the end of the video I had bought 3 rolexes. It clearly works
Nico is gonna enjoy this
😂
Same thought 😂
There was nothing stupid said in this video. Why do you think he would enjoy this?

She is well known as - Diana Leayani Lara. please do your own research.
now we need a crossover with Teddy
True
Teddy baldassarre? Would love to see courtney there too
Hell no
An actual watch guy who knows his stuff
I'm pretty sure his wife isn't as into watches as he is 😂
Unreal Collaboration✨️
I can already see a dutchman getting ready for this video 🤣🤣
The Cartier Santos and Girard-Perregaux were both really good picks. Cartier Santos at around 5k is killer.
Love that Kevin relates memorable moments with watches. I can definitely relate b/c I do the same thing and makes the timepiece that much more special.
6:06 well he murdered that pronunciation! 😂
He also murdered Glasshutte
He had too much Jäger(meister) the nite b4.
He drives me nuts when he speaks about watches.
Been following you since a long time Alex! Happy to see your success man! Much support! ❤
I'm surprised Kevin didn't pick any Grand Seikos for entry-level watches.
Same. I was expecting $1000+ watches for entry lol.
Or SEIKO spring drive,FTM.
We want a updated watch collection
Kevin is the last guy id go for watch shopping advice
The old angry dude from shark tank 😂
(and the one with the worst offers 😭)
Lol😂 yep you got it
He's only angry when he doesn't hear the word "royalty"
He's been a watch RUclipsr for a while now, "where the hell you been at"!!!!? You're probably just a bot though!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@SteveSmith-kd9ifyeah I'm a chess bot, thx for the compliment

@@richardcharleston2547 You misspelled Kamala Harris.
A lot of these watches are beautiful, though personally I love a minimalistic look, like the Parmigiani Fleurier, great video Alex!
I couldn’t afford these but love looking. Love how Kevin gives his time to other enthusiasts and ultimately help promote these channels.
I like Kevin but the black and red combo always looks like a prom outfit
he sleeps in a coffin
Girard perregaux is super underated. Love their watches.
That Nomos has to be the best pic of them all! What a classy watch! Simple dial but so elegant! Great choice!

Do more watch content! Loving the content, Alex.
Breitling has always been my fav! Gold is cool, just think yellow gold is kinda tacky
Cartier Santos is an amazing watch - so comfortable, classy, and uncommonly worn.
Legendary collab 🙌🏼
Luved watching all these different watch models.
Kevin's oversized cuffs and red pocket square bug me.
It's not a good look. Imagine walking into a business meeting and seeing someone dressed like a vampire while wearing a red banded watch on each hand. It's tacky and makes it look like he's trying way too hard.
@@3581tossit a vampire 😂😭😂 I busted out laughing
I have the absolutely same opinion! Longines is a fantastic entry watch brand! Great choice!

I have a 1953 Rolex Oyster in 34 mm and it works. Wears bigger than one would expect. Great show!
JLC wasnt established in the US its swiss and started 1833 with the Name LeCoultre

Why is the Rolex brand blurred? 😂
Also for watches under 10k; you could pick up a Rolex datejust or oyster perpetual and still have change left over
True, such a clowns. Pick up some useless brands instead of get some classic Rolex
@@aspOLmeR I think these brands are good however for the average Joe who wants a one and done watch; Rolex is a solid choice

Did Kevin literally say Jag Cootra? Haha 😂
And Ulysse Nardinez! Interesting selection of watches though.
I can’t afford any of those watches, and for those reasons I’m OUT!
I end up loving his own Cartier gold tank Loui the most! It's such a classy and timeless beauty..
In a past Kevin Oleary video where he is the guest and chose the watches, he picked the interesting choices. They were affordable, and others were within reach.
Among the selections was kuoe, but was passed over for a very unique brand.
Brazilian king of all time❤
Kevin never disappoints!
Red straps are ridiculous - they also devalue the watch but I suppose he doesn’t care he has enough money
All I wear 34 size gold Hamilton and Bulova form 1940 and 1950 and 1960 it fits my style
0:49 the subtlte jab lmao
In my opinion Longines is THE best starter luxury watch company. You can get a second hand Conquest quartz for 500ish, a second hand automatic watch for 1000 and can make it as crazy and go up to thousands of euro's/dollars!
never a boring moment with Kevin. Cheers/
ok but alex outfits are so fire
Good to see you switching up your content, Alex. We enjoy it regardless.
Keep going bro! ❤💪
Thank you!
I still have no idea how he managed to pronounce Jaeger-LeCoultre like this 😂 6:06
For someone who professes to be a watch enthusiast, he certainly butchered that name
He is just an idiot, considering that he speaks french
@@BMRS03he’s a wanna be watch collector
It's not "gla-shite". It's "Glas-hʏtə"😉😁
He should have picked the Tudor , the Catier is a good option but I prefer a Santos with white dial , for no budget i'll go for a Rolex , High end Tag Heuer , AP or even better a Patek ..or maybe another Tudor
This is unreal! 2 of my favourites in collaboration! Liking it even before I started watching! 🙌
Wow I love Alex and Kevin it’s crazy they did a collab! 🔥🤝
omg that Longines with red strap is beautiful 😍😍😍😍
The Nomos as the 20k choice is a head scratcher. Boring and minimal cache. Gold IWC Portugueser is just one option better than the Nomos.
Big fan of the watch content man! Would love more. Need Teddy next!
Jack Coo-truh 5:51 😂
Awesome… 😎 I love watches, and this was a great episode 🎉
When it comes to fine imitation watches, amzwatch delivers. I've bought from them several times, and I've never been let down.
Love this video! Nomos has been on my radar the last 5 years and can’t wait to one day own one! Great show!!! 👏🏼
Hey Alex, it has been a while since I've watched your videos but I am glad I found your channel again. I forgot how much I learn from your videos!
The last selection was great. Love them all
Great segment. Did anyone else notice the scratches on the B&M case?
One of my computers died today so that 3:54 blue screen almost gave me a heart attack. Nice video nonetheless.
I like how the blared out the Rolex, but not the other brands. Lol. What a good marketing
I'm happy for anybody who like me loves watches but it's amazing how easy it is to spot a person who knows nothing about watches or horology and many make the mistake of thinking that if you like watches you like horology ......nah

If I walked into WEMPE NYC boutique I'l walk out with a WEMPE IronWalker or Zeitmeister ONLY!
The rest can be found pretty much everywhere💁🏻
I like his suggestions and recommendations that when and why to buy a watches.
He knows his stuff!
100% Watch knowledge ✅💯😍
"I was the first one". Badass😂
Lots of fun guys. Great pick. Very interersted in the turn off/on Watch Ins too.
I absolutely love watches, the high end watch brands are out of my budget but the amzwatch has literally an almost duplicate of every single watch on the market . Always a great but no matter your budget.
Im in love with that cartier, Like that dial is an art itself.
The collab was great, but 22 year olds wearing something for 8k is so unrealistic for 90% of people out there. I mean, people are in debt with student loans.
It always amazes me how much beauty and precision are added to the parts of MaMaCoo's watch 99% of people will never see.

Mainly high. He mentions, and maybe has a couple, of low end pieces just for show.
Kevin is a guy who demands respect everytime he talks 🌞
