You should only buy a watch if you like it & it speaks to you personally. If it has history & certain merits, then that's a bonus & helps to make you like it even more...
Generally speaking I think for the most part you are correct. But...let's use the Speedmaster for example, there would be something special about owning a watch like that. Of course everyone knows it's not the exact model or specific watch that was on the moon, but hey it's from the same manufacturer who made it, and for the most part it is identical, if not slightly upgraded so what's wrong with enjoying a watch for those things if that makes you happy?
Spot on
Great post and so professional, as always. 🖐
All of David’s points are spot on and I fully agree from my own experience. The only other point I would add is I strongly sense that there is a backlash from all of the hype that we were told during the Pandemic years (which David did not propagate like so many others). Specifically, many of us have had our own epiphany and are not following the herd, and not overpaying for brands just because they are popular sellers. My own sense is the pendulum is swinging back to value buying, and many of us collectors are now and will continue to be rewarded for our patience.
You’re indirectly saying that watches aren’t investments without attempting to do so. Buy what you like, wear it, make memories in it, and pass it down.
Always believed in buying what I like. If has a story ok that’s a bonus. Panda Daytona paying double to triple retail in my opinion is just ridiculous.
Not to mention that there are truly beautiful chronographs at so many different price points from other brands.
I bought the speedy not because it was the 1st on the moon but because it is still space qualified:the
1861 mvt was the last qualified and went in space ;-)
Intersting you bring up the speedy and explorer. 2 of my favorite watches and yes the history of them does appeal to me however its my own achievements that i want to buy the watch for, nothing someone elses. I plan on getting the explorer 1 next year having finished the wainwrights challenge, 3 peaks and welsh 3000s challenge…..18 months in and im halfway through the challenges so when i finish it will be a nice reminder of it. I cant just buy watches because they look pretty these days, it has to have some sort of meaning for them to last in my collection
Id add a caveat to the speedmaster - while its been reworked over the years, it's still the only watch officially rated by nasa for spaceflight. Which still makes it uber cool.
Not only. Astronauts also get the x33 as part of their kit. And its the one they use.
Wise words! I bought an OJ Simpson Superbowl Rolex, a Michael Vick RSPCA Richard Mille, and a Michael Jackson P Dough Peter Pan Swatch. All valueless now.
😂
Sometimes people just purchase a watch. Let them because they might very well be content with their own reason.
Now, you speak of influences to as why not to buy or to buy (history, fashion, or celebrity influence), but just by stating your own opinon to why a person should or should not purchase a watch means that you too are influencing a person's watch purchase.
Hard to have it both ways.
100% agree with you David.
Well Done 👍🏼
I only found this because you have really upset the moonwatch weirdos who have thrown their toy rockets out of the pram boy 👦🏻 🚀
I will try to find Adrian’s video now 😂
You said some people overpaid for a watch because there’s a story behind the watch. Ok, many more people overpay or overpaid for watches that are hyped from the secondary used grey market. You bring up the Speedmaster. People don’t overpay for that watch. That watch has been pretty much close to retail for years. People that want a great watch that flys under the radar, doesn’t show off, and doesn’t need to prove anything. Buy the Omega Speedmaster. Yes the Speedmaster is still used by astronauts to this day.
The calatrava is the best patek imo, i bought it in switzerland, it was the right size for me, and it had entirely hand finished movement. Better than the annual calendar. Now, I'm curious to see how much it's worth today, so I'm planning to do a little research.
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 $55million, and the returns on investment far exceed what I earned as a collector.
I enjoy your videos David 👍🏻
Full agreed, buy what we like and love...............this will bring as well as long term investment, a happy investment ;)
Stories help make an emotional connection in a way that facts or figures can't. Its the emotional brain that makes the decision. Brands are stories, which we either buy into, small family historic craftmanship of Patek, or we don't. Eg Tudors affordable Rolex. Asking us not to buy into stories is asking us to stop making decisions. This entire category is a highly emotive category, as there is little rational reason to buy a mechanical watch whose technology is obsolete. Or we would all be wearing Chinese watches, as many swiss watches source parts from there, the finishing and precision is well established. All the Patek examples are based upon a story of the brand. Only if you bought a non branded watch could you achieve the goal that Adrian and yourself are suggesting.
Great video and topic man! Really enjoying your content lately. Keep it up please👌
Its a emotional choice. Belonging to no one but yourself...If your dealer? Its about the bottom line....
Its so funny all the Moon Guys say their purchase is ‘personal’ yet they all speak about it publicly at every opportunity 😂
HI David very interesting blog, i have been taking a look at a glashutte original rather than the rolex rute the quality looks good for the price
Travis Scott was part of a scandal, yet he still got his own AP. Nobody cares about the scandals. They care about clout. That’s why Rolex is as big as it is. That’s why nobody wants Tudor or other brands that look like a Rolex. Rolex is where it is because of clout. That’ll never change.
I was disappointed when I tried on the latest iteration of the Moonwatch. It’s a lovely watch but…maybe it was the weight of expectation, but it left me cold. I was lucky enough to get a Breitling Premier B09 Pistachio dial instead, which is GORGEOUS, imho. I’d also tried the previous iteration of the Moonwatch and it didn’t work for me either (particularly that bracelet 🙄). That said, who cares - try on a watch - like it, or don’t like it. But I agree - don’t be influenced by the marketing/hype.
Another great video David 👍
I do not agree. My grail is a 321 from 1967. Why I care about it ? Because I associate it with the moon landings, my own childhood, and all the memories I often feel when wearing the watch. It is called emotion. For God's sake David, let people love the watches they like, whatever they associate it with. It is their emotion that matters, not yours or some other youtuber's.
Well said..
Moon landings 🤣🤣😭😭. Gullible, much?
😂😂😂 dude, get real moonlanding when you were a child 🙄...
I have a 1966 321 pre-moon and it was my dads and I love it !
No he's right. What if moon landing story is not relevant
I literally don't care about brand name or hype, in fact I had to just check my latest acquisition to see what brand it is - Patek Nautilus Tiffany co branded dial. heh
🤣🤣
Really? At least The Speedmaster went to the moon... Where did a Daytona went? A golf match?... History is very important buddy
I wonder what happens if down the track in history it is shown/proven that they never landed on the moon? Now I'm not saying they did or they didn't.... But the non landing arguments are gathering momentum. Then Omega and everything it banked on never happened... Ouch
Completely disagree with you watches like the Speedmaster and Submariner stand head and shoulders above other watches due to their iconic status and storied history.
Respect
Most watches have little value beyond psychological value
Very true words
The messed up thing is that Smiths sponsored that Everest expedition, so Sir Edmund Hillary was wearing a Smiths watch at the summit. Though, Rolex watches were gifted to them too. Notice Rolex never takes full credit for it, but loves to misleadingly imply they are the Everest watch.
Do you mean I could still find a way to feel like James Bond if I took my Omega off David?! Might give it a go 😂
Yes, get an Aston 🤣
Your reference points are mad - buy this patek, but not this RM. Happens all the time 🙂
Just love my dj 41 🎉 and my tudor 🎉👍
Never buy a watch for it's "story" or because it is "iconic". Think for yourself and buy it for it's intrinsic design and quality.
Me hoping Rihana has a huge scandal so the King Midas reduces in price ! 😂
The AP Bill Cosby will never go down
Watches are marketed to people the same way toilet tissue or mayonnaise is marketed to people.
At the end of the day, if someone wants to follow a trend or buy into and idea about something, that’s their business.
Just as you have bought into the idea of the black t’shirt and Apple Watch.
Bro only people in Us believe in moon landing omg . The entire world outside Us is mocking so hard yet u r so oblivious . This is so painful and sad
Rest
Buy the watch because of the watch.
For every dedicated NASA Moon Landing fan (and respect to them) there are 50 saddos that have no personal opinion and just buy a Moonwatch because they want to be popular 🙄
He’s right and not wrong. He’s not wrong but right
Come on my man. Get a grip. You don't sit there making a video for watch nerds and enthusiasts while wearing an Apple watch. No. Just no 😖
😂😂😂😂
And if the moon landing was a fake ,you actually buy a fake moonwatch 🤡🤪🤣
🤣
Watch buying in the last almost 10 years has become so complicated, buy for values etc...
It's simple just buy what you like and enjoy it!!!
