Alright, so today I wanna go over the top 3 watches that I regret ever buying.
Stella!
And if this is something you have never done yet, then you will eventually notice that
you did, because it's something that can't be avoided.
When you start collecting watches, one starts with a certain opinion about a watch, and
then your test and views ends up changing.
So it's a normal thing, but I wanna share with you my three top regrets in purchasing
watches.
Alright, so the first one is actually probably one of my favorite ones to say just because,
I swear to God, I would have never thought that I would have fallen victim to an impulse
buy of this nature because I'm not really much of an impulse buyer.
I usually know what I want, but...look, it's very complicated to say.
I was in Vegas.
We were partying at the Wynn.
Things were getting out of control like it should be in Vegas.
And I know that there's a Chopard boutique and I'm not much of a Chopard fan, but the
crazy part is that, when I woke up in the morning, I had at some point, bought a Copard
Superfast Chron.
Now, don't get me wrong...It's not a bad looking watch.
I just don't understand what on Earth possessed me to go and buy a Chopard stainless steel
Superfast at full retail.
Jesus Christ!
What a bad one!
It was one of those situations.
I had to fly out early the next day.
I woke up and I just see this box...I couldn't believe it man!
I bought this watch, full retail, Chopard Superfast.
Apparently, I was annihilated the night before and I did an impulse buy from Hell.
I ended up having to sell the watch on Ebay and it took about 3 months for me to get rid
of it and the sale along was super sketchy because Ebay freaking scares me for those
types of things.
The second biggest mistake that I ever made was that I bought a Deepsea.
And one of the real reasons that it bothered me the most was because I had a super, super
clean 50th Anniversary Rolex Sub LV, the one with the black dial and the green bezel.
Man, I'm talking about it was so crispy, it looked like new, old stock.
And then, the Deepsea had just come out and I was kind of fascinated by a bigger version
of the Submariner, so I ended up working a trade, and I ended up trading in my watch
and $1,200 for the Deepsea, which is still not that bad of a deal, but man, what a mistake!
When I had the Deepsea for about a month, I was just hating it.
I ended up putting it in a safety deposit box and just never wearing for about three
or four years until I finally sold it.
The watch ended up being a little bit too heavy.
I feel like the novelty of the watch being bigger and that whole thing kind of wore off
pretty fast.
In the beginning I liked it and it kind of freaked out a couple of people when I first
had it because they were like, what kind of double taking of how much bigger it was, but
in the long run, I completely hated the watch.
I know it's great for some people and if you love it, hey, nothing wrong with that.
But for me, I found it to be way too top heavy and I just know it.
It just didn't do it for me.
I would have much rather in the long run, kept my LV, and that's why it's my second
biggest mistake, because not only did I buy a watch I didn't end up liking, I also sacrificed
a watch that I still loved for it.
And last, but not least, which in some ways should be number 1 also, I'm gonna say was
my rose gold Hublot Big Bang.
Don't get me wrong guys.
I love the watch, the way it looks, OK?
Good looking watch.
I think it's cool, but I kinda regret buying that watch because...Oh, what can I tell you?
The market pretty much took a nosedive.
What do you want me to say?
They even made a special edition for my Grandma and she's...except for my opinion, she's just
not the most important person in the world to other people except for me.
[Grandma speaking in Spanish]
Yeah man...The Big Bang was probably another mistake because, even though I'm in the business,
I still ended up losing money by the time I sold it.
And I take care of my watches, especially the watches that I love most, so I kinda didn't
use it as much as I would have wanted to because I just kinda wanted to..you know, keep it
mint.
I guess I was protecting it like it was some type of Patek 5980, when I probably should
just worn the [bleep] out of it until the bezel came off.
Yeah, I think number 3 watch...the third watch that I regret ever buying was the Hublot Big
Bang in rose gold and one of the reasons was because I also had the option of buying an
AP 41 millimeter chrono in steel and I passed that up because I just felt victim of having
some rose gold.
I felt into this sickness of the Hublot Mirage.
Ok guys, so those are the top 3 mistakes I've ever made buying watches.
If you think you're not gonna make that mistake, you'll see.
It will happen to you.
I could probably do a quick easy Top 10 Watches I Regret Buying, but that's part of collecting.
You buy the watches.
You use them for a while.
The watch that you love today might not be the watch that you love tomorrow.
So keep that in mind when you're buying the watch and what you're paying for it, which
is why I say, if you're gonna pay full retail for a watch, make sure it's a watch that's
a classic and that you'll love forever.
