Gary’s genius idea: Being someone in New York who’s actually nice to people 😂 genius Gary, genius I say!!

I want that green jacket Christian wearing low-key

I think the Gary story really highlights why EVERY Rolex AD needs to have EVERY model available for customers to try on. Even if they are only shell models that don’t have a functional movement. It is difficult to know how a watch will wear from pictures on the internet…and to wait for years to get one only to find out that you don’t love it in the metal is a shame.

Movement has weight to it

The Gary Story: I laughed, I cried, it was better than CATS. I'd listen to that story again and again.

For me the “want” is always more fun than the “have” but that’s what makes the experience exciting and makes you keep coming back for more.

That rose gold day date is gor-geous.

I have to agree its one of the most beautiful Rolex watches.

Great concept! Can’t wait to see more

Great banter guys!! Keep it up…

It was nice to meet you two at the GS9 event. Hopefully GS will have y’all take more of their photos/videos.

Late to the party on this but I fish a bit here and there and know that it’s important to know the moon phase when fishing for certain species and choosing what lure you’re going to throw.That being said I don’t think I would ever go fishing with VC on my wrist.

Appreciate the boom watchfam at the beginning. Nice touch

You guys are killing it!

That whole comment about money was so spot on. We ( as many people ) will justify that dinner or the new jacket or shoes or whatever smaller purchase, but when a big ticket item that they really want, and could get if they just didn’t spread their money out, could be achieved if they prioritized their spend. That’s really it. I like that I collected things when I was younger, but now, I’m moving all that along, because of space and clutter and I just don’t need all the stuff, and I want to prioritize my spend.

Where did Christian get the olive shirt jacket though? It's a look 👌

Moonphase complication is beautiful. That's it's use.

Ooh oooohhhh. Love ❤️ is in the air. Keep it coming guyz. 💕 to see you guys together.

Excellent video! I had the opportunity to buy the PP 3711 NiB from WEMPE Hamburg back in 2001 for around 12.000 euro (13.000$) but my first son had just been born and it was my first year at WOSTEP (Watchmakers of Switzerland Training and Education Program) so priorities had to be made. I kept my 16610 and figured "I´ll get that one once I graduate instead". Well that never happened and my god the advice in todays show about skipping all that other fluff like dinners, weekend trips, new rims, shirts and stuff is oh so true. Just get THE WATCH cause it´s the only thing you´ll always love and never regret.

great discussion as always...(and nice ending)

Christian, love that coat. And Michael, I already knew Christian got you that, I watched your video. ;-)

I did the exact same thing, getting slightly less popular option and having doubts. I got the DD40 Yellow, Silver Dial. And DD40 Everose, Green Dial. I'm thinking I should have got the gold on gold and the brown on rose. I love those combos.

If money is excluded, want yellow gold, Patek Calatrava. FWIW, wearing a Nomos Club Automatic Date with a blue dial. Love the watch.

I love the moonphase complication… I part of my life actually depends on the lunar calendar, the novelty for me has an added layer of real relevance

Cool story. Be great to see an updated state of the collection vid.

That rose gold is superb 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽 I’d keep it.

Christian, what size is your wrist? I have a 6.25 wrist and love my 36mm DJ, but was wondering if I might go up to 40 for a DD...?

Both of those jackets are super nice. Who makes them?

That intro beat tho 🎶

Outfits this episode...fire!!

Moon phase might be great for werewolf endeavors 🐺

13 months ago a rose gold DD with the green dial was sitting in the case at my local AD. Still kicking myself for not picking it up.

John Green did a really cool video on John Wick's death question. Worth checking out

Micheal is a great addition to the channel

I dig that rose gold green dial. its a beauty. Gary be happy! if they had done the day and date in the same green with gold text that could have been pretty noice.

There are two kind of collectors: The ones that want a very specific Rolex and then there are the ones that want to be happy and enjoy the hobby 😄

I probably was over 20 watches at my "worst".... from watches with crooked numbers to the left of the comma down to a Timex my daughter got me for birthday. I am now to the point that if I don't wear them, I feel like I should offload them. I can't just stare at a watch in a box or case, I have to wear it. This is why I change my watch 8 times a day when I'm home like some sort of weirdo lol. Great show as usual.

It doesn't even look to "rose-goldey", I like it. Also, I'd submit my collection for a proper roast lol.

Hello! And I’m Christian, sporting the 70s Tom Selleck throwback mustache!

Yellow is classic! Love my 228238 yellow white romans - was offered green dial back in 2019 but never appealed to me.

Waiting for 'The Iron Snail' Merch 😃

One use for moonphase is photography. A little niece i know but then again we are talking mechanical watches and then also mooonphase so i think its fair enough. An atrologer might also find it handy. Maybe a bit romanticised but the hole subjet is and thats where the fun is

Only Keanu Reeves could score that many brand new submariners.

Just picked up my first Swiss Timepiece 1981 Tudor prince oysterdate absolutely mint condition !

You guys are getting better and better, the perfect antidote for all the pretentious guff and nonsense in watchworld....MOAR.

That R .L. polo sweater is beautiful

…” I sell them..” 😂😎

WCJ is going to have a field day with Gary

Yellow Gold, Roman numerals, white dial, 40mm is incredible

I often go without to get what I think I need at the time (or what I really really need) Gotta make it go around. Spread it… Love you shtick guys. You rock it. On ya Gaz nice watch, you especially nice person you…

i like the jacket Christian, whats the made?:)

great cardigan Michael. \m/

love the 'stash

Anyone knows what jacket Christian wears? Love the green shade, great video anyways!

Werewolves need that moon phase 🤷‍♂️

I would use the moon phase function everyday if I had a moon phase watch. I want the ones with the 29 1/2 day calendar instead as it's easier to read.

I gotta disagree on the sizing of complete calendars. I have a 1948 Leonidas triple date moonphase in 35mm and it's not the easiest thing in the world to read. By comparison, I have an Eterna "1948" moonphase chrono in 40mm that is much easier to read even with the 2 chrono + sub seconds dials. Hands play a part in that but the size is important.

Nice pajamas on the left Michael!

Seriously, what is that Jacket and where do I get it?

Anyone got an ID on the jacket Christian is wearing in the vid?

I've had a Sub and GMT from an AD with no previous purchase history... We're roughly the same age, I'd go in talk "soccer" every week or two, eventually started playing fantasy football together and then got the watches ;)

I'm nice to ADs as well, not as nice as Gary, but nice. Thing is though, I enjoy talking watches, I'm friendly, and I enjoy the hunt. So I go in person to ADs within a day's drive, talk watches, put in my request, check in once in awhile. I started doing this in May after my AD wasn't getting me anything. I had three Rolex I wanted, and this weekend, I'll pick up the third one. Picked up my first Rolex ever in July, my second one last month. I never bought a thing from either AD that has come through for me before these pieces. Being genuine and nice can work. Admittedly, I've been very lucky, and I get that.

They are hammered again.

Fishermen, would maybe use the moonphase....

Turned down a rose olive day date a couple years ago during the peak from ad. Went with yg dd40 with black dial. No regrets. Rose is hype

yellow buttons and matching glasses - and a yap that registers as noise pollution

I don't understand why people love rose over yellow. Pictures online make rose look better than the color actually on the wrist. On the wrist though..... Yellow all the way

Wow reeves is a stand up guy

I love my Rolex HULK homage by Steinhart.

That was a roast of Rolex

I love the rose good olive dial DD, but man having “IIII” as the Roman numeral for 4 really drives me up the wall

To each their own but, if anything it makes it better IMO as it’s the Watchmaker’s 4. Used mostly for watches/clocks specifically. Also the original way 4 was written. It came before the IV that we know today.

Lunatics need moon phase watches!!

Man what glasses is he wearing I need them

What a great story

I have pagani designs...i need this😎⌚️✌️

I feel like im too pale for a yellow gold day date although I love the idea of being able to pull it off. Maybe if I move to a hotter climate and get a tan xD

Moonphase? I have an Omega Speedmaster moonphase. I think it is mesmerizing to look at the moon (esp. the full moon) and even at Omegas moon that is very photo realistic. What I think is unnecessary is a month display, who doesn’t know what month it is. And even a perpetual calendar is unnecessary, it is not a problem to set the date five times a year.

Fyi city boys … Hunters and fishermen use the phases of the moon. However I have never seen a hunter with a Patek moon phase. 😂😂😂😳

Completely off topic. These Egard watch commercials crack me up. They pose the question, something like: 'how do you feel when you get an Egard watch?' I'm like, if I got one, I'd feel one of three things. 1. The person who got if for me isn't paying attention 2. The person who got it for me just doesn't like me. 3 I'm being pranked...

Highest intro ever 💨🥔✈ 🪨 😆

The chase is always cool, then you are underwhelmed as you achieve your goal. Then you put your watch way, then you wear it again after a month. Then you realise why you bought it and you get sense of warmth all over. Time always reminds you why you wanted the watch in the first place.

Is moon phase really useful at work? Because everyone buying submariners is working at the bottom of the ocean, right? I doubt 1/4 of dive watch owners have ever been in scuba gear for any reason.

Chrisitan, what jacket is that? it looks nasty!

Tell Gary I will buy it off of him. Name the price!!!

Guys I do like the Roast! Fun to bust on friends. BTW, the white on the Carolina Blue doesn’t work, change the text to Black. Cheers, Jock

I live in Staten Island and I’m very hurt.

You lucky fuck!!! GARY!!!!!!!!!! lol that's amazing!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥 all the props to you 👏👏👏👏

This watch used to be in all the Connecticut ADs in early 2020 now you can sell it for 70k 😵‍💫

To be honest... I check my moonphase several times a day and night. I know exactly when it's full moon. Also keep my Viagra close.

Never used to be a huge fan of gold but there is some about a gold Rolex... CZ was in a rush somewhere.....maybe to his AD to get on a list before EVERYONE steals Gary's idea!

Moon phase is nice for fishermen or gardeners, in saying that…..

Hey Gents, could you please let us know what you think of the new relaunch of the EBEL SPORTS CLASSIC in your next video? Would love to hear your thoughts on it!

Moonphase watches are useful for the people who still track time by the lunar (or lunisolar) calendar such as Jews, Muslims, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Hindu, and Thai to name a few.

by the way moonfase is important when hunting at night for certain species

So you have a hulk with a green dial and bezel …. And you want a two watch collection so you want ANOTHER green dial watch?

GARY!!!

Well moon phase data is not useless if you are in the wine 🍷 industry 🤭🤭

He can get 5 subs from a AD at once and everybody else is on a 3 year waitlist just for one. And that’s if they’re allowed on the list.

" im itilian i use aragino"

Watches for hipsters. Yeay!

How did he get 5 submariners at retail????

Moon phase can be actually useful if you're Muslim or Jewish for example, as those calendars are lunar based.
