Love to see these watches! I've owned Tag and Rolex but my go to is my Citizen, Eco Drive, dive watch. for about $250 USD. I splurged and modified the bezel to add a ceramic insert. And yes, the time and date are always correct, lol..

That Rolex Daytona-Le Mans is gorgeous. It's all the more special considering the collaboration between the two sanctioning bodies IMSA and the ACO. They converged on regulations so cars from one series can race in the other. EDIT: Removed run-on sentence.

I guess every fan comes to a point where they have to express their admiration for the creator on some video. This is mine. If they shipped your photos to Ethiopia, I would buy each edition! Thank you man! Keep doing the great work you do! I will look for your Patreon to support!

What an awesome piece, along with some awesome timepieces. An insight to F1 us "normal" punters don't ever see other than simply the watch on the wrist.

Love your content and everything you do to share different elements of the sport and sporting experience - Thank you Would love regular watch and handbag or general luxury videos.

That IWC Tourb on Lewis is absolutely stunning. Give me simple elegance rather than the hideous diamonds and bust downs. Guess the biggest wow is Webber with the LeMans ...lucky guy! As a "watch guy" I find it rather depressing when those people don't even set the time. Unfortunately they discontinued the "tiffany" OP in 41mm..... but you could still get the 36! Love your yachtmaster mate

I too love the yacht Master. It’s very shiny.

Really appreciate you adding were they stuck to the right time. Helps show who actually appreciates the watches more. it's too bad they have really become a status symbol lately versus an style time keeping device

Watches worn without setting the time or date reminds me of the African Gold display at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, where they have solid gold bracelets that are in the shape of a watch that were worn by tribal chiefs to show power and status but don't tell time. Just like a broken clock, even these are correct twice a day, though!

All amazing watches. Loved the Patek at the end.

Haven't worn a watch in decades. My phone always has the correct time and date. I've heard people say they feel better when they put a quality Rolex on. Psychology I guess being it makes them feel superior and more successful than others.

There's something kind of cynical about wearing such an expensive fashion piece, but having it functionally out of order by not even keeping the correct time.

A lot of people certainly wear it for the looks

I wonder what Tiffany’s thinks about these “Tiffany Blue” watches since they fell out with makers like Rolex decades ago. Tiffany’s New York sold regular Rolex watches with “Tiffany & Co.” stamped on the dial until one day Rolex wanted to remove the stamp. So Tiffany’s said they’ll no longer sell Rolex without their name on the product. So that was the end of that relationship. Now those vintage Tiffany & Co stamped Rolex watches are worth $$$$. And they definitely didn’t have Tiffany Blue dial faces back then but it would’ve been cool to

All great watches. Lewis has the best in my opinion. I’ll stick to my Aussie Adina watches. Would be be great if the owners of these watches would adjust them to the right time.

Could be wrong time because of a change of time zone and forgetting to reset given our phones do all of that automatically.

Most of these watches are not attractive to me. Too ostentatious why Rolex is too plain while being too expensive. Breitling Navitimer is the pinnacle of watch design and relatively affordable.

Hamilton has the best watches and best cars and best girls but he deserves to be paid even more money for being the best ever driver to ever drive an Grand Prix Car.

Name checking the owner here is a very bad move. It a thieves shopping list. UK sports star and family attacked at night in their home for specific watch. I can only assume the “celebs” are just wearing them for show on behalf of the manufacturer.
