Where is the second end even my glasses Oh wait yeah the top oh you know what Let's scratch this let me let me let me Watch hasn't been worn in forever have To wind it right and the ultimate Laurent right [Music] Hi guys we're here at Chase Bank I just Came to pick up some watches and I'm Doing this for you because it means so Many requests to see watch collection It's a tough thing thing for me to do Because I have to keep them in the bank My insurance insists on it so we're Gonna do a bit by bit as a bunch in here Let's go take a look at them and we'll Do two three four or five sometime in The future let's go So here we are at the house and brought Some goodies for you to have a look at It's not all of them but it's certainly A nice selection in fact I don't quite Know what's in the box let's find out Are we ready Ahh some goodies so where should we Start What do you think Adam where should we Start this one yeah it was let's keep This one till us because this is one of My favorite was okay so this one's gonna We'll come back to this one so what why Did I even ask you let's start with this One okay so this one here this is let me Take it off this is a ap Audemar PGA

Offshore and this particular model is Called a navy the reason it's called the Navy is because the I don't know if you Can actually see it might show up black On the video but the sub dials and the Our markers are blue navy blue and the Buttons themselves are also navy blue so This is a pretty fun watch you can swim In it you can really Oops drop it you can do anything with it Just a fun watch fun watch really enjoy This watch so that's probably one of the Baby ones in the box here so well this One you know I don't know probably a Year or two I guess this is a strap made By horas this is not a an Odom a strap This is an aftermarket strap by horas Straps who make an amazing rubber Camouflage they do it in all different Colors and I actually prefer them to the Factory step straps this well this one Comes with an alligator strap and you Can't swim in it obviously because it Will destroy the the alligator so I Replaced it with the but the rubber I Think it looks really really good so I Popped that one away before I forget Because I might as well show you this One that's on my wrist as well otherwise I'll completely forget about it so this Is the Rolex day-date Aw and this particular one is the 41 Millimeter Model it's the biggest one they make

They actually stopped making this one Last year and replaced it with a 40 Millimeter one which I don't quite Understand why they did it this has Become very sought-after now because It's rare they don't make it anymore and Everybody wants this and not the 40 but It's a beautiful watch great everyday Watch has some weight to it Very very pretty this is made from 18 Karat yellow gold I should have said That what that one is made from the AAP That we just had a little look at is Made of stainless steel so it's not a Precious metal but this one is solid 18 Karat yellow gold so I'm going to put That back on my wrist let's move on so Now let's go into another Rolex this Particular one is a Rolex Daytona it's 40 millimeter case made of 18 karat Yellow gold and it has a factory diamond Dial that means that the our markers are Actual diamonds and it's a chronograph So what we do here is these unscrew you See a little notches come out or when You unscrew it it goes flat and now that You can activate them so if I press this One it stops the second and it was Already going and if I press that it Resets it to zero so if you wanted to Time something you'd press what Ready Steady Go And the second hand well the stopwatch Starts to run and then when you want to

Stop it you press again and then this One resets it back to zero these sub Dowels count the minutes and the hours That the stopwatch has been running and The one on the left here is a continual Stopwatch my phone is ringing and I hope The housekeeper picks it up because I'm Not going to [Music] So this isn't a great watch it's a very Very popular watch Rolex had great Success with the Daytona I really enjoy Wearing it it's low-key but it's still a Rolex it's a gold Rolex and I think it's A very lovely watch Yes very traditional isn't it compared To a lot of your others I would say Probably one of most traditional looking Watches yes yeah I don't often wear this But I do think it's a nice watch to have And sometimes you want to be a little Bit low-key but still wearing a very Nice piece so this is the perfect watch For that let's put that away oh heavens No I couldn't afford that when I started My watch killer collection the first Watch I got was a Rolex Submariner in Two-tone steel and gold and back when I Bought it I would have been maybe 20 Years of age it was a big deal it was Probably four or five thousand dollars Which for me was the same as buying a House it was unobtainable but I wanted It and I thought to myself well I set

Myself a goal that's my first goal in Fact it was I wanted to get a submariner And I did a lot of work didn't buy Anything I saved every dime and just Stuck it away until I could buy the Watch so this is a very interesting Watch that most of you will probably Have never seen before this is a remain Jerome and it's made with parts of the Titanic these watches are all automatic At least everything that I've showed you So far they're automatic and I'm just Winding this up now the propeller trying To keep it still so you can see it is Actually the second hand and you should See that turning now the watch itself is Made of rose gold it's 18 karat rose Gold the bezel at least they say is from The Titanic and some of the parts inside The watch are polished pieces of the Titanic when they brought it up on the Back there's a full diagram and it States from the Titanic This is a watch I bought about probably Five years ago not a very well-known Brand but I saw this and I heard the Story about it and I couldn't resist so I just went ahead and bought it I Actually bought two the other one isn't In here the other one was made with moon Dust and I know it sounds ridiculous but Google it remain Jerome Titanic and moon Dust I heard both of them very fun Watches and they pride themselves on

Making watches using components from Volcanoes that erupt from the moon from The Titanic and you know I heard a rumor Now so let's put this one away I wish You know there was a way of showing you How heavy these are this is when he's Nearly a pound it's very very heavy yeah Wow yeah right you don't anticipate that All right very heavy yeah well too lazy To exercise so we're heavy watch okay Next let's go to this and before we Start let me give it a little bit there Automatic so we'll we'll just get them Going so that you can see the second and This is a very interesting watch this is An 18 karat rose gold Breguet and this Is what they call a Royal Marine alarm So there is a hand at 12 o'clock that Activates the alarm would you like me to Show you how it works yeah okay so this Here this second one you unscrew it like Everything else and you pull it out and You see this hand okay you set that to The time you want the alarm to go off And I'm going to turn it around so that The alarm in fact it does go off should Be coming up about now and of course I Did it wrong I can't do everything wrong You have to switch you know yeah I Switched it out let's try that again and Pull this out what am i doing I don't deserve these things do I Okay let's try this again please people Are definitely gonna say that this is

Rented yeah probably right here we go Huh There we go so that vibrates and makes a Noise on your wrist so you can sell it And then this over here stops it from From running this little blue and white Slider is what is the power reserved for The alarm so I'm now winding that Because it takes I won't do it because It's going to shake they're watchin on The camera but that's what wines it so That you have the power to activate the Alarm it doesn't take away from the Actual watch mechanism itself really Cool and what's this one made from this Is 18 karat rose gold and it has a Rubber strap the back of it is Extraordinary it's just absolutely Beautiful this is called Yosh I probably Pronounced that wrong and I'm sure a lot For people will tell me I did but it's a Procedure it's all done by hand and just A very very beautiful watch that's Amazing I would love to learn more about The internal workings of watches because There's some absolutely incredible Designs on yes there are this particular Watch being called the Marine the Royal Marine it's waterproof too I believe I'm At 500 feet so it could be a really good Diver to survive it the watch will keep Working you'll be dead but it's a great And beautiful watch my favorite rub is Comfortable on the wrist it's it's

Durable and it looks good so I don't Know I like the rubber straps and Another factor is the gold that's in These watches is not really that Expensive there's maybe a few thousand Dollars worth of gold compared to the Cost of the watch which is So one guy might spend a year making one Watch I mean he works in the movement There's thousands of pop I don't know How many parts so a lot of parts in that Each one is handmade each one is hand Polished and then they're assembled so That's what you're paying for and the Design thing yeah when people see the Cost of some of these watches Wow watch But actually the machining and the Craftsmanship that goes into the design Of the manufacturer that's absolutely Right I've actually been over to Switzerland various times many times to The factories I've ordered watches and I've watched Them being made and it's fascinating and I don't know how these people do it Because the amount of patience you need When you've got a little tiny piece and You're wearing a microscope glass and You're filing it with a literally a Piece of wood for weeks until it's Absolutely perfect and they do that with Every component that goes in there and They assemble it I don't know how they Do it so respect truly okay moving on

This is I love this watch I really love This watch this is an Odom up EGA and Again I haven't won it in a while so Let's let's get this going it's Automatic but any automatic watch when You haven't worn it for a while it's Always good to give it a little wind and It's a screwing crown crown or ceramic So automatic means there's a rotor on The back so when you wear it and you Move it that rotor continually moves and Whines the watch it winds the mainspring Of the watch and it lasts this one has a Power reserve of about three days so you Could take it off and it will still run For about three days But this is a very special watch it's The 44 millimeter Audemar offshore and This has the bag get invisibly set Diamond bezel which makes it very very Rare and very unique I'm not quite sure How many of these were made but very Very few and just a beautiful beautiful Watch and Adam if you want to feel the Weight of this you'll see it Quite heavy Wow yeah that's I said it's Probably the similar weight to the Titanic one yes and they're actually Going to get heavier as we go as some in Here that are very heavy which will Shock you but this watch is one that I've been trying or was trying to buy For gosh probably a year year and a half And they're very hard to come by

And somebody located one for me and was Like yeah I've got to have it so one of My pride and Joy's this is a Richard Mille RN 1103 and this is one of the Hardest watches to come by Richard Mille Make limited quantity of watches highly Highly complicated watches and they Don't allow many of them out in the Marketplace so this particular watch is Worth substantially more than the retail Price which is already ridiculous but People are paying even more ridiculous Amounts for them because you just can't Get them let's take a look at this what This is it's a chronograph which is the Same as I showed you earlier on I Believe it was the Rolex Daytona my show Devon Hours minutes and continual seconds the Top has the second function which had Just pressed and you can see they our Well the counter the minute counter Revolving again I stopped it and then if I press this it will reset it back to Zero together with all the other doubts In the center you have the date which is Probably wrong because I haven't worn it In a while and in this bottom corner Don't know if you can see it with the Camera but there's actually the month This is the new case which has these Little cutouts at first when I saw it I Saw a picture of it I thought well That's a bit strange but it's grown on

Me and I absolutely love it Turning to the back the back of this Watch again highly highly complicated They used components which are very very Different to other watch manufacturers There Racecar technology which is carbon fiber Titanium and some other metals that they Don't talk about they won't say what They actually are but an incredible Incredible piece and this is probably my Favorite of all the watches I own not Necessarily the most expensive but it is Definitely my favorite love this watch This still has the plastic on it from When it was new because I'm a great Believer in keep that on as long as you Can you're the worst kind of person I Know really if you look at a lot of These they have the plastic maybe be Happy I don't have it on the front I Took that off okay so this is a fully Blinged out Patek this particular one is Stainless steel and these diamonds are Aftermarket diamonds which are being it Looks like it's made entirely from Diamonds yes that's the goal but yeah This is a stainless steel and it's got The diamonds on it this is the back of It these are a great watch although not My favorite a rarely were Patek it's Very very thin as you can see and I like Chunky watches and this just as nice as It is it doesn't do it for me but I

Think as a watch collector it would be Wrong if I didn't have a couple of them So that's why I have them I'm going to Leave this out for a second so you can See the difference between this one and This one which is basically exactly the Same except this one is made of gold So if you feel the difference in the Weight of both of these watches they're Identical watches this one is gold with Diamonds this one is stainless steel Same watch okay right feel this one atom Feel the weight of it okay and then feel This one yeah at least at least yeah so Again the reason I have two of these is Because sometimes you You need the gold color and sometimes You need the silver color well I guess Nobody needs any of this but nice to Have it yeah I'm in a very fortunate Position where I'm able to so I figured Why not but yeah they're beautiful Watches they keep great time I don't Really know much about the mechanisms Because Patek is not you know my Favorite but they are they are very nice So this one before I tell you much about It I'm going to give everybody a shock With Adams reaction I'd like to feel the Weight of this that weighs over a pound Or more or more so it's it's all gold This is this is all gold and it's also All diamonds so this is an Odom are Offshore as you can see every piece of

It is is diamond and the actual bracelet Itself is very thick in its own solid Gold solid back and consequently weighs A ton when you wear this watch at the End of the day you know you've been Wearing it because it's so ridiculously Heavy and when I say ridiculously heavy I mean ridiculously heavy which I have a Scale I put it on there I know I would Show you just what that weighs so get in Contrast I did the same thing this is The same watch this time in white this One is steel and if you want to feel the Weight with this one atom you'll see There's a significant difference yeah Try this one again ridiculous absolutely Ridiculous but these are two beautiful Watches they're both coronagraphs all Diamonds and very much the same fun Right do they do that in a white gold They don't they don't they do it white Gold without the diamonds right But they don't do white gold with the Diamonds I don't know why I'm not right But it would be nice so I love how they Stay in this one looks rates for the Imagine if that was white gold That would be you know it would be Beautiful yeah but no they don't make That Here's another Rolex this is actually The same as what I'm wearing but this One is blinged out for those fun Evenings when I don't have a little bit

More bling and bling it is so this is a Forty one millimeter presidential it has The diamond dial with the hour markers They're round and has two baguettes on The 9 and the 6 by get is the cut of the Diamond it's long thin and straight Whereas the brilliant cut diamond around Everything else on here is a round Diamond the bezel actually has very Large diamonds and it's you know an Interesting interesting watch now this Weighs nothing like the AP if you want To feel the weight of this it's still Got some weight to it but even it's half The way it is half the weight of that It's less than half the weight really It's incomparable and probably keeps Better time than any of mine and then Finally in this box this is one of my Favorites as well this is a Rolex GMT – It is made of white gold and diamonds The bezel is baguettes with black onyx Our markers this actually turns in both Directions they say you can go diving in It and you I'm sure you can but I don't Know if this is a wise thing to do with The watch of this value you know And also how is that one oh this is Heavy too this is all white dog that's Very heavy that's heavier than the President there you go right that Worried that would keep me going down But beautiful watch I'm going to show You a fun thing about this watch so the

Date me I mean just activated because Again hasn't been worn in a while so now The second hand is moving now if I want To change the date the way that this Works is the hand that our hand goes by Itself without moving the minutes and You can see the date is changing hmm you See that yeah so showed you a bunch of Watches today each and every one of them Has a story behind it why I bought them Why I was attracted to them why I think It's a good watch to have didn't want to Tell you too much about them because There's been a lot of watches here we're Taking a lot of time but if you want to Know more about them please let me know In the comments anything else you want To see as well let me know I'll do my Best to accommodate that for you and We'll do some more watches in the future Please hit that subscribe button hit the Bell that will tell you when there's a New video up there and hey what time is It See ya [Music] [Applause]
